And we're back! In contrast to our 3 Bold Statements segment on the last episode, we're debuting our "Coldstone Lead Pick Locks" for the upcoming NFL season. If our takes were too hot last episode, these are more of your blue chip picks for this season.

We're also officially announcing our official NFL Pick-em League for 2025-26 season! You can join by following this link: TWP 2025/26 Pick 'Em League Signup

Prizes to be announced soon. There's already some side action going on between Rich and James over where the loser between them has to take the other out to a restaurant of my choice. At the moment, James is firm on Skyline Chili and Rich will opt for a Seafood spot serving fried catfish and hush pupples.

Rich opened up a can of worms with Skyline Chili in his crosshairs all episode!

Sticking with the football theme, we wrap things up with an in-depth discussion on what to expect out of Bellichick's first season as the head football coach in Chapel Hill for the Tarheels this season.
