Courtesy of North Carolina Athletics A week ago we were scoffing at the prospects of Bill Belichick taking over at the University of North Carolina after a report surfaced that he interviewed with the school last week. Well, the joke is on us because tonight Bill Belichick came to terms on a five year deal to become the school’s head football coach. The The deal is valued at $50 million…
(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File) How many of you had Bill Belichick interviewing for the North Carolina opening? I know I didn’t see that coming and chances are, neither did you. Belichick interviewing for a college job makes zero sense considering that outside of being around the Navy Football program, he has no college experience. Sure, he has plenty of college connections but those relationships are built on evaluating players, not…
Bill Belichick added another duty to his burgeoning media career when it was announced on Thursday that he would be joining the panel for CW’s Inside the NFL. Belichick will be joining former NFL players Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson and Chris Long on weekly basis to breakdown all of the latest happenings in the NFL and to recap games.

FOXBOROUGH- Tom Brady was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Wednesday night. It was an amazing ceremony befitting of the greatest player of all-time, the greatest quarterback of all-time and the greatest Patriot of all-time. NBC’s Mike Tirico emceed the event and he did a good job of hosting the three hour event. The induction reminded me of a Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony but with…
Former Patriots running back Damien Harris was on the Athletic’s Football Show podcast recently with Robert Mays and talked about a variety of things including the offense during the 2022 season. Harris confirmed everything we pretty much already knew. It was a debacle. Harris said the players knew the offense under Matt Patricia and Joe Judge wasn’t going to work even before the season started. “We knew before our first…
The Roast of Tom Brady on Sunday was three hours of Brady’s former teammates, celebrities and Bill Belichick roasting the GOAT. It was the television event we knew we needed, but weren’t sure we were ever going to get. To his his credit, Brady sat there and took barb after barb. From jokes about his marriage to his playing career, Brady got hit from all sides. It was great to…

Belichick joined McAfee on the show and talked about the opportunity to still be front and center talking ball in front of the world next Thursday night. “Well, I’m looking forward to it…draft day, draft weekend is always an exciting time for…
We’re down to the final four episodes of this somewhat controversial ‘The Dynasty’ documentary on Apple TV. Personally, I haven’t found this to be as bad as a lot of other people. I think some of the B-roll and behind the scenes stuff has been well worth the watch. Have stories been embellished to make Bill Belichick look slightly worse? Sure. Are there some glaring omissions in some of the…
We continue our look at the Apple TV+ ‘The Dynasty’ documentary after eposes five and six dropped on Thursday. This will be much shorter than the outrageous 5,000 word breakdown I had for episodes three and four, but in fairness, that Spygate episode was pretty damn entertaining with some good stuff that we’d never seen or heard before. Anyways, here’s some thoughts while watching the most recent episodes… Episode 5…
For the second straight year, Patriots players have let it be known just how bad things have gotten around Gillette Stadium. The latest NFLPA team report cards survey over 1,706 players in hopes of highlighting the best working environments or showing who needs help where. The Krafts take quite a hit here with the team ranking 29th overall. It’s the second NFLPA report card in as many years that has…
