He also unloads a rapid-fire collection of thoughts on Robert Kraft, Alex Ovechkin and Kirk Herbstreit before diving into one of the more fascinating quotes in recent memory surrounding Bill Belichick's tenure at North Carolina. A UNC trustee, widely credited as the driving force behind Belichick's hiring, offered a comment that is either incredibly horrible or completely awesome, depending on your point of view.Dan Bernstein Unfiltered drops Monday-Friday 11am CT Make sure to subscribe to...✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀✅ Off The Ivy: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ⚾️All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
