We might as well start with this. Apparently Bill Belichick, who seemed to have a pretty good

gig of just kind of hanging out, kicking his feet up or whatever. I'm sure he wasn't making much

money, but hanging out talking football. He's got a job again. He's got a job. He is going to be the new head coach

at the University of North Carolina. Sitting here pondering, like, I wonder how something like

that gets done. I mean, it's, it's, I don't know. I don't know. My head is kind of spinning with this one. On one hand, you got guys

fleeing college because it's, I don't know if too much work is the right way to put it, but kind of.

I mean, it's very stressful. But at the same time, maybe it's less about stress and more about,

for example, Jeff Halfley's like, man, I just

to our program, which of course you will just by being our head coach. You help bring talent in here, which you will. The job's done just by you saying yes and collecting this paycheck.

Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe he's in a different part of his career of being like,

you know, I'm tired of the exes and O's, man. I'm tired of doing all that work. That or maybe just

Bill Belichick has no idea what the heck

he's walking into and he made a massive mistake because he had it good, man. He had it. He had it good. I know he missed his football and, you know, maybe as far as the NFL is concerned, maybe the interest wasn't there as much as he wanted it to be. That or he just wants to go to college. And I would have said had things not changed so much in college,

that maybe that's a way for him to kind of take it easy a little bit,
