Gronk completely whiffed on a subtle Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson joke
Gronk completely whiffed on a subtle Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson joke
Oh, Gronk.
To be fair, this joke from Caleb Pressley to future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski was really, really subtle. So I definitely wouldn't have picked up on this one either.
But because it's Gronk, it's 10 times funnier: on the latest Sundae Conversation, Pressley starts out saying "the matchups this year are incredible" and that "there's a lot of really exciting teams," before adding this: "Bills picked up a 24-year-old."
Only that's not what he said. He ACTUALLY said, "Bill's picked up a 24-year-old." As in, Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson and NOT the Buffalo Bills picking up a 24-year-old player.
Once Gronkowski got it, he started giggling.
Watch:
Totally got him.

Bill Belichick says he's 'still learning''everyday at college level
Coaching at a new level of football is a challenge for anyone, even Bill Belichick, an 8-time Super Bowl Champion between his time with the New York Giants and New England Patriots. The North Carolina Tar Heels made offseason headlines in December 2024, when they hired Belichick to be their next head football coach. While Belichick hasn't coached at the college level before, UNC fans hope his NFL success will turn UNC into a consistent winning program. Advertisement Belichick is already generating national media attention, the kind North Carolina football hasn't experienced before. On Friday morning, Belichick's media tour continued on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan: a 7-time Pro Bowler, the 2001 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XLII Champion, which he won against Belichick's Patriots. "I've learned so much being back in the college environment, whether it be recruiting, the college game, the rules, the hashmarks, some strategy and putting a team together," Belichick told Strahan. "I learn every day." Strahan also asked Belichick about his much-younger girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Unlike the ACC Spring Meetings on Tuesday, where Belichick didn't want to talk about Jordon, he praised Jordon for her help. Advertisement "She's been terrific through the whole process, and she's been very helpful to me," Belichick said. "She does the business things that don't relate to North Carolina that come up in my life, so I can concentrate on football, and that's really what I want to do. I acknowledged her in the book. She was very helpful on that with the tribute pages and also giving a perspective of the book from kind of a business side. Sometimes I get a little football technical, and she did a good job of keeping me on balance there." There's plenty of anticipation building for the Tar Heels' 2025 season, which begins Monday, September 1 against the TCU Horned Frogs. Kickoff time was initially announced for 7:30 p.m., but got pushed back 30 minutes.

Top 10 injury news of the Lions 2024 season - No. 9: Ifeatu Melifonwu's turbulent season
This 3rd-round pick of the Lions from the 2021 draft traveled a rough road last year with multiple medical speed bumps. The rocky path crashed and burned the high hopes for Ifeatu Melifonwu, who was coming off an impactful second half of the 2023 season when he recorded five sacks and two interceptions. Who can forget this climactic interception on Christmas Eve, 2023, to clinch the NFC North.... Ankle injury The injuries for Melifonwu started early in 2024. He made an appearance in the second preseason game (August 17, 2024) but may have hurt himself during that game. It was not obvious on video when and how that injury occurred. Advertisement Listed afterwards with an ankle injury, there must have been hope that he'd be back soon as he was not placed on IR (injured reserve) immediately. His placement on IR was delayed until after Week 3, which was five weeks post-injury. The IR delay suggests an injury uncertainty or an aggravation. This ankle issue continued to linger for months afterwards until his practice window finally opened on November 6, which was week 10. Due to the extended absence as well as the uncertainty of return, there is suspicion that the ankle injury was more of an Achilles tendon issue. An Achilles tendonitis can have an uncertain recovery because neither the player nor the medical team wants to take any risk that it turns into a full Achilles rupture. This played out notably last year with Christian McCaffrey, who had a prolonged, delayed return from his bilateral Achilles tendonitis. Left hand fracture The setbacks of his season were not over as on November 19, just 13 days into his 21-day practice window for the ankle, he suffered a left hand fracture in practice. He was put back on IR for the second time. First appearance of season On December 15 (week 15), Melifonwu was finally able to make his first appearance of the season vs the Bills. Over the next four games, he played a high snap count on defense ranging from 60-80%. While he did not pick up an interception and had only a single sack, he served a valuable role as a versatile piece in the back-7. Hamstring strain In his fourth game which was the playoff game vs the Commanders, he strained his right hamstring in the 3rd quarter and did not return. The severity of the hamstring is unknown but is not suspected to be serious. Outlook The hamstring and hand fracture are unlikely to be an issue going forward. The mysterious ankle (maybe Achilles?) that took about three months to recover from could be something to watch. Career path Melifonwu finished out his 4-year rookie contract with the Lions and became an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He ended up signing a 1-year contract with the Dolphins that has $2.45 million guaranteed, per-game bonus up to $510,000, and incentives of up to $1 million. While he is young (age 26) and has proven to be an impactful player on the field, his reliability concerns likely created reluctance by the Lions and other teams to give him a long-term deal.
