Tom Brady hilariously mocks idea of Bill Belichick coaching college amid North Carlina flirtation


Tom Brady and some of Bill Belichick’s former players in New England expressed skepticism over the idea that the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach could handle coaching college players. 

News that Belichick had interviewed for the vacant North Carolina coaching job caught many people off guard last week and when the topic came up during Fox’s NFL studio show, Brady was hard-pressed to imagine Belichick as a college coach. 

“’There’s a lot of things he can do, and obviously he’s tremendous, and even showing his personality. But getting out there on the recruiting trail and dealing with all these college kids,” Brady said before trailing off.

Brady, who gave a clear “no” when asked if he could see his former coach in the college ranks, then appeared to mimic what it would look like if Belichick was on the recruiting trail trying to convince a prospect to play for him. 

“Listen, do you really want to come here?” Brady jokingly said. “I mean we don’t really want you anyway, but I guess you could come, we’ll figure out if you play.” 

Brady wasn’t the only one who wasn’t buying the idea. 

Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski both seemed to agree with Brady over his thoughts on it.

“Can you imagine NIL, and all that nonsense?’ Gronkowski jumped in saying. 

“Can you imagine Bill on a couch recruiting an 18-year-old?” Edelman also commented, which prompted Brady to do his Belichick impersonation.

News that Belichick had interviewed for the UNC job first broke on Thursday and that he had “multiple meetings” with university officials for the job.

While it has been suggested that it was slim that Belichick would land the job, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on “NFL Countdown” on Sunday that the two sides had been continuing to talk. 

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini also reported over the weekend that if the ex-Patriots coach was offered the job at North Carolina he would take it.

11 firefighters and 2 others injured after North Carolina house fire and explosion


SALISBURY, N.C. — Eleven firefighters and two other people were injured in a house fire explosion in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, officials said.

Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said firefighters did not have life-threatening injuries but were getting treated for contusions, concussions and smoke inhalation following the fire Monday evening. Two other people were taken to the hospital, but Parnell said he didn’t know their conditions and couldn’t confirm whether they were in the house at the time of the fire.

The Salisbury Fire Department responded to the single-family home around 5 p.m. and found it engulfed in flames.

Eleven of the 22 firefighters at the scene went inside the house to search for occupants and “get water on that fire,” which preceded the explosion, Panell said at a news conference.

“It was enough force that the outside walls blew out, the roof came up and went back down,” Parnell said.

An investigation of the fire and explosion is continuing.

Harrison Bertos scores in OT to help Washington beat N.C. State 3-2 and win first Men’s College Cup


CARY, N.C. (AP) — Harrison Bertos scored 1:54 into overtime after Washington blew a two-goal lead in the second half, and the Huskies beat North Carolina State 3-2 to win the Men’s College Cup at First Horizon Stadium on Monday night.

It was the first national championship for unseeded Washington (16-6-2), who became the first team to win six road matches in the tournament — beating six seeded teams along the way under the guidance of coach Jamie Clark. The Huskies won in their second trip to the final after losing 2-0 to Clemson in 2021.

No. 15 seed N.C. State (16-3-4) made the final for the first time behind coach Marc Hubbard. The Wolfpack were aiming for the school’s first national championship since Jim Valvano led the men’s basketball team to the title in 1983.

Zach Ramsey scored unassisted with 1:12 remaining in the first half and Washington took a 1-0 lead into the break. It was only the second time this season that N.C. State trailed at halftime.

Ramsey scored into an empty net after Wolfpack goalkeeper Logan Erb couldn’t corral the ball at the top of the box. It was Ramsey’s second goal of the tournament.

Richie Aman sent a cross to the center of the goal and Joe Dale knocked it in for a 2-0 lead in the 62nd minute.

Donavan Phillip answered in the 66th, scoring with an assist from Nikola Markovic to cut it to 2-1 with his fourth goal of the tournament. The Wolfpack entered 11-0-1 when Phillip scores.

Taig Healy scored the equalizer with 3:28 remaining with assists from Justin Mclean and Calem Tommy.

Egor Akulov had an assist on Bertos’ winner.

Huskies keeper Jadon Bowton, the only remaining player from the 2021 squad, had five saves.

Erb saved six shots for N.C. State, which was the last school to concede a goal this season.

The temperature was 28 degrees when the match between two teams that had never faced each other began.
