Bill Belichick won't headline North Carolina's weekly coach's radio show
Bill Belichick coaches in college football, but it appears he won't be a regular in one college football tradition: The coach's weekly radio show. North Carolina announced Thursday that Belichick will be on the first episode of the Tar Heels' weekly radio show on Aug. 27 at Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery, but general manager Michael Lombardi will be the show's headliner each week. Previously called 'Mack Brown Live,' it will now be called 'Carolina Football Live.' Assistant coaches and players will join Lombardi weekly on the show, according to UNC's press release, which does not specify when Belichick will return to the show. Lombardi has previous media experience, hosting podcasts and appearing regularly on Pat McAfee's show. While the coach's weekly radio show is still common across college football, the opportunity for fans to call in and ask live questions has started to disappear over the years. Nick Saban was a rare high-profile coach who continued to take live calls until he retired in 2024. Many schools have removed that opportunity, either because of losses or a coach getting upset with a caller. After a spat with 'Tyler from Spartanburg' in 2023, Clemson ended live calls for coach Dabo Swinney. The show now takes questions via text message. North Carolina says fans who cannot make the show in person can submit questions via email. Some college coaches have the weekly radio show written into their contracts. Belichick's deal at UNC only says the coach shall appear on media opportunities 'as reasonably requested by the University' and that the timing and location shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. It's under the $9 million 'supplemental income' section of his contract. North Carolina opens with TCU on Sept. 1. Spot the pattern.

Today's Wordle #1518 Hints And Answer For Friday, August 15th
Welcome back, dearest Wordlers! It's 2XP Friday which means that anyone playing Competitive Wordle should double their points, whether those are positive or negative. I've been neck-and-neck with the stupid, evil Wordle Bot this month, though he took a bit of a lead this past week. I'll be lucky to come back in August, but you never know. Dreams do come true. Let's pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and solve today's Wordle! Looking for yesterday's Wordle? Check out hints, clues and the answer right here. Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Today's Wordle Hints And Answer Wordle Bot's Starting Word: SLATE My Starting Word Today: SLATE (98 words remaining) The Hint: You fight your way through these in video games. The Clue: This Wordle has two pairs of double letters. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. I went with the Wordle Bot's favorite opening word today, and I suppose this led to us both using pretty similar guesses all around. SLATE left me with 98 words, and for whatever reason, LIVER seemed like a good second guess. Admittedly, RIVEN was probably more sensible, but LIVER got me three green boxes. I could only think of one solution at this point, and lucky for me, LEVEL was the Wordle! We each get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying. Double that for 2XP Friday and our August totals bump up to: Erik: 5 points Wordle Bot: 10 points The word level comes from Old French livelle or nivelle ('measuring instrument, spirit level'), from Late Latin libella, a diminutive of Latin libra ('balance, scale, measure'). Originally, it referred to a tool for finding horizontal alignment, and later expanded to mean flatness, equality, rank, or degree.
