Were you okay with Belichick reaching out to the Jets and the Jets saying, get the f*** out of here?

Yes. What did you think of Belichick going to Carolina? Did that surprise you?

You made news on this show recently saying Don Shula was a cheater. Are you alleging that Bill Belichick is also a cheater?

You're right. Yes, well said by you. Bear, before the season started, and we'll get to your picks at the end here, before the college football season started, you and I voiced concern. We shared similar concerns about what it would do, the new playoff format would do, to the regular season. So now that we've had a full regular season to kind of digest this new era, what do you think?

Has your opinion changed? Did it ruin the regular season? Did it enhance it? What are your thoughts here?

All right. So this is interesting. Of the four underdogs playing this weekend, SMU, Tennessee, Clemson, Indiana, which team do you think has the best chance of springing the upset?

So it's interesting. Do you think any of the eight teams playing this weekend can actually win the national championship? Yes. You do think so? Okay, go ahead. Who?

But I think what college football wants to see eventually, and they think it's going to happen, I'm not so sure, they want to see one of these teams like SMU make a run and play in the national championship game, don't they? And I just can't envision a day where we're going to see that, Bear.

So if you're running one of these programs under the current construct, you're scheduling easy teams, right?

But a bad year to schedule Florida, bad timing to play them.

You can't control it.

And let me tell you how that call is going down right now, okay? You're piping Raven Steelers throughout the house.

All right. This is very exciting because the bear, we love him. He's great. The audience loves him. And he has decided to be our Santa Paws. He is going to give you 12 beautifully wrapped gifts for the holidays. It is Bears Picks. And by the way, check out his podcast, Bear Bets, wherever you get your podcast. So how are we going to do this? Are you going to sing this?

Do you want us to sing you in? How do you want to do it?

Okay.

No, it's not. No, it's, it will never get old. It will never get tiring. I'm wondering what we do at five, the fifth day. That's going to be tough for all.

Oh, okay.

All right, so that's an official bet right there. That is the first bet of Christmas. That's the first day of Bearmas, yeah. First bet of Christmas, okay. So, all right, Billy, you want to sing them in with me here? On the second day of Christmas, the bear gave to me.
