Bill Simmons rips Pablo Torre after Jordon Hudson reporting in NSFW rant
Bill Simmons rips Pablo Torre after Jordon Hudson reporting in NSFW rant
It's safe to say Bill Simmons isn't a fan of the fallout from Pablo Torre's reporting on former New England Patriots legend and current North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson.
Torre used his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out, to report on Hudson's involvement with Belichick that goes beyond their romantic relationship -- there was talk that she forced her way onto a Belichick commercial, how UNC officials might feel about her and beyond.
JORDON HUDSON AND BILL BELICHICK RELATIONSHIP TIMELINE: A look back over the years
But Simmons scoffed in a recent Ringer podcast at Torre doing a bunch of interviews after the news he broke (WARNING: NSFW LANGUAGE AHEAD):
'I've never seen anybody dine on a stupider story for a week and a half while pretending you're a journalist. What the [expletive] was that? Seriously. 'Oh, Belichick's dating a girl. Oh, let me do nine shows about it.' Settle the [expletive] down. ... You don't need to do a media tour about a [expletive] podcast."
The part about "pretending you're a journalist" is unfair. Torre's reporting was legitimate and necessary given the fact that maybe there might be consternation in North Carolina, which pays him a sizeable amount of money.

Top seniors head to Grandover for Golfweek Senior National Championship
Grandover Resort has a rich history when it comes to hosting college golf events. The Greensboro, North Carolina, resort has welcomed everything from the NCAA Division III National Championship to NCAA Division I Men's Regionals to the ACC Women's Golf Championship. And now, once again, it's the seniors' turn. Two years after extensive course renovations, Grandover will welcome a national field of senior amateurs for the Golfweek Senior National Championship. The 54-hole tournament will be played June 9-11 and players will compete in the usual four age divisions: Senior (ages 55-64), Super Senior (65-69), Legends (70-74) and Super Legends (75 and over). Grandover Resort ( The tournament will take place on Grandover's East Course, which features many tree-lined fairways as well as several holes that have a 'stadium-type effect.' The East, as well as Grandover's neighboring West Course, was designed by David Graham and Gary Panks. Advertisement A year ago, Trent Gregory won the senior division title after making birdie on the first extra hole against Michael Arasin. But neither Gregory nor Arasin will not be in the field this week, clearing the way for a new Senior Division winner. Undoubtedly, the favorite entering the event is Bryan Hoops, a Tempe, Arizona, resident who turned 56 in February and made his debut on the Golfweek senior circuit the same month. Hoops lost to Bob Royak, a former U.S. Senior Amateur champion, after a lengthy playoff at the Golfweek Pirates Classic but then won back-to-back Golfweek senior events in the Southern California desert in April. After that he just kept on winning, claiming the Society of Seniors' Senior Masters trophy days after his Golfweek wins. Hoops also won the Trans-Mississippi Senior Championship in Rancho Mirage, California, and the Huddleston Cup in Carrollton, Texas, earlier this year. The senior division, however, also includes two-time defending Golfweek Senior Player of the Year Kevin VandenBerg, who won this event in 2022. VandenBerg and Hoops are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the Golfweek National Senior Amateur Rankings. Advertisement In the Super Senior division, the top four players in the Golfweek rankings will all tee it up: Marcus Beck, Greg Goode, James Starnes and Stevie Cannady. That division also includes 2023 champion Bob Edens. Golfweek's top-ranked Legends player, Greg Osborne, is among the field in that division at Grandover and so is No. 2-ranked Jeff Knox. Defending champion George Owens is back in the Super Legends division. This article originally appeared on Golfweek: Golfweek Senior National Championship at Grandover Resort

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Johnson drove in five runs to power Duke's 7-4 victory over Murray State on Saturday in the first game of the Durham Super Regional.
