Next, the guys talk Patriots football, and how the team has decided to hang a gigantic Tom Brady banner at Gillette Stadium, in honor of their suspended starting quarterback.

And finally, what's next for both Art Briles and Steve Sarkisian?

All that, a Carson Wentz hunting update, and a story about bloodthirsty turkeys, right here, on Wetzel to Forde.

On today's Wetzel to Forde...

Yesterday was the first NFL Sunday of the 2016 regular season and it was plenty exciting. Jimmy Garoppolo somehow got his team out of Arizona with a win, Jameis Winston tore it up, and the city of Philadelphia is currently ready to build a statue in honor of Carson Wentz.

Plus, some wild play calling from Jack Del Rio, Bill Belichick dropped a few hilarious press conference quotes, and even though he's retired, we came to grips with the fact that there was (and forever will be) an abundance of Peyton Manning on everyone's TV.

After an unplanned night off, Dan Wetzel and Pat Forde are back and have plenty to talk about.

The NCAA is pulling their championship events of of North Carolina. And also, Mike Gundy has planted his flag in the sand regarding who gets to officiate Oklahoma State football games.

All that, and more, on today's Wetzel to Forde.

Tom Brady may not be playing, but he's still making headlines! Apparently, he's never eaten a strawberry. Mind-blowing stuff.

Next up, on the heels of the NCAA pulling a host of championship events out of North Carolina, the ACC has done the same. How badly will this hurt local businesses in NC?

Also, Mike Leach is crabby, probably because his team is 0-2, and is taking it out on the world.

And finally, this summer has brought a rash of creepy clown incidents--will the bad clowns ruin things for the ones who are devoted to their craft?
