Forget about all the Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson drama that engulfed Chapel Hill last fall. No, according to North Carolina general manager Michael Lombardi, it was actually a flood of “fake rumors and fake stories” that made things appear worse than the reality during Belichick’s first year. “All during those stormy times, all during when the boat was getting capsized, when people were attacking us with fake rumors and fake stories all over — nobody’s corrected them yet, but that’s OK, we understand — our players hung together,” Lombardi said on the “Pat McAfee Show” Friday.
