Belichick To UNC?

Bill Belichick and North Carolina are working toward a potentially historic deal, though several hurdles remain before the six-time Super Bowl champion becomes the Tar Heels head coach.

Key details being negotiated:

  • Role for his son Stephen (current Washington defensive coordinator)

  • NIL resources

  • Salary and staff funding

  • Reporting structure

Belichick confirmed "a couple of good conversations" with UNC chancellor Lee Roberts on The Pat McAfee Show, where he also outlined his vision for a college program: "It would be an NFL program, but not at the NFL level." He emphasized creating an NFL pipeline with professional-level training, nutrition, and schemes.

NFL In Berlin

The NFL is going to Berlin in 2025.

The historic Berlin Olympic Stadium will host its first NFL regular-season game, adding to Germany's growing portfolio of NFL venues alongside Munich and Frankfurt. This expansion reflects the NFL's view of Germany as a key growth market.

The league's 2025 international schedule is taking shape:

  • At least two games in London

  • One game in Madrid

  • One game in Berlin

  • Potential for up to eight total international games

The NFL is also eyeing long-term growth through flag football, planning to work with Berlin schools and clubs ahead of the sport's Olympic debut in LA 2028.

Bulldogs or Ducks?

ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum sees Georgia and Texas as strong playoff contenders, but with key question marks surrounding their quarterbacks – Carson Beck's health status for Georgia and Quinn Ewers' consistency for Texas.

In breaking down the field, Finebaum sees:

  • Georgia and Oregon as the most likely champions

  • Texas with a viable path despite their second loss to Georgia

  • Ohio State facing a difficult route

  • Penn State with the easiest path but questions about coach James Franklin

The bracket shapes up with:

  • No. 2 Georgia getting a bye before facing Notre Dame/Indiana winner

  • No. 5 Texas hosting Clemson, with Arizona State awaiting the winner

Who do you think is taking it all this year?

EA Sports Predicts The NCAAF Champs

EA Sports just did a simulation of college football’s playoff and you’ll be surprised at who won it all.

According to EA Sports College Football 25's simulation of the first 12-team playoff, Penn State emerges as national champions. Here's how it played out:

First Round Results:

  • Notre Dame 34, Indiana 28

  • Penn State 19, SMU 17

  • Clemson 13, Texas 12

  • Ohio State 31, Tennessee 17

Quarterfinals:

  • Penn State 20, Boise State 17

  • Clemson 31, Arizona State 6

  • Ohio State 30, Oregon 24

  • Georgia 27, Notre Dame 12

Semifinals:

  • Penn State 20, Georgia 0

  • Ohio State 24, Clemson 17

Championship:

  • Penn State 34, Ohio State 31

Is this the year of the Nittany Lion? It would be their first national title since 1986. The game particularly likes Penn State's path, which got easier with Georgia QB Carson Beck's reported injury.

The Potential #1 2026 NBA Draft Pick To BYU

BYU just secured 2026's potential No. 1 NBA draft pick AJ Dybantsa with what might be a record-setting NIL package.

The Cougars outbid traditional powerhouses Kansas and North Carolina with a reported NIL offer between $5-7 million, showing how NIL is reshaping college basketball's recruiting landscape. According to CBS, it's believed to be the largest NIL package in college basketball history.
