Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Not sure what to believe about the possibility of Bill Belichic becoming the next head football coach at North Carolina. Think that making the Tar Heels into a NFL pipeline is a great selling point and would be a big winner with players in the transfer portal. He could also go after NFL sponsors for NIL money too.
