Also our weekly visit with MR X to talk NFL strategy, goal-line blunders, the CFP and betting on it, plus our TNF picks for this week. MORE.....

Somehow Charch had missed the Dave Chappelle basketball skit. MORE.....

And why *this* manifesto? Portal demands and eBay fees are out of control. Is Belichick going to UNC one last shot at greatness, or a sign of a sad and empty life.
