Bill Belichick's boat further fuels Jordon Hudson engagement rumors
Could Bill Belichick's new name for his boat be another sign that the Super Bowl-winning head coach and Jordon Hudson are indeed engaged?
Belichick's boat got a fresh coat of paint and a new name along with it, going from benign called 'VIII Rings' to 'I + VIII Rings,' TMZ reported on Tuesday, hours after the New York Times published a piece that included details that Hudson had told at least one person the couple was engaged.
The TMZ report included photos of the boat that showed eight rings around the 'R' in the name of the vessel, though it's not clear whether that's an homage to an engagement ring that Belichick gave Hudson or a reference to the championship ring she has.

The football coach has eight total Super Bowl rings to his name, six of which were won as head coach of the Pats and two while he was the defensive coordinator for the Giants.
Hudson won a national championship ring when she was a member of the Bridgewater State University cheer squad, which she broke out for the NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans during Super Bowl week.

Belichick and Hudson's relationship has been the center of media fodder since it became public last June, with attention focused on the 49-year age gap between Belichick, 73, and Hudson, 24.
The news of the relationship made headlines five months after he split from the Patriots, though various reports have suggested that Hudson had been a presence in New England during Belichick's final season as head coach.
Amid the lengthy report from the Times, it noted that when Hudson attended training camp practices during his final season, 'she often wore red pants at the request of Mr. Belichick, so that he might more easily spot her in the crowd.'

Hudson also 'frequently joined' Belichick at the team hotel when the Pats would stay nearby Gillette Stadium before home games.
The relationship has garnered even more attention in recent weeks after Belichick's disastrous interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning,' which included Hudson interjecting herself to cut off the interviewer's question about how the pair met.

The PR nightmare opened the floodgates into questions surrounding her involvement in Belichick's affairs on and off the football field and brought to light her burgeoning real estate portfolio worth more than $8 million among other details about the 24-year-old.

Hudson is also being 'iced out' of the Nantucket's social scene and charity circuit by those loyal to Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday, Page Six reported.
Belichick and Hudson met aboard a flight from Boston to West Palm Beach in 2021 and Holiday and Belichick reportedly split in 2023.
'People are turned off by her. She's kind of young — who knows what happened when Linda was still [dating Belichick]. Did Jordan come into the picture?' a source told Page Six.

Commanders Defense Got 'Bigger and Stronger' in 2025
Commanders Defense Got 'Bigger and Stronger' in 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During the 2025 offseason, the Washington Commanders made several high-profile additions to their offense. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil stole the show as the biggest acquisitions of the offseason. Advertisement But … Washington made some shrewd moves on the defensive end as well. And those moves have led defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. to believe the unit has gotten better than last year's mark. 'We're really excited about the guys that we added," Whitt said. "We wanted to get bigger and longer. We definitely did that up front. We did in the back end also with [CB] Trey [Amos]. "So, the vision of how we want to play and how we want to be and how we want to look, you're seeing more of it right now from a size and length and speed standpoint.' Washington did lose free agents like safety Jeremy Chinn and edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. Both players were important to Washington's turnaround last season on the defensive end. Advertisement But with another year in their system, Washington is hoping the current group will get even better. They drafted Amos with their second-round pick and signed Javon Kinlaw, Deatrich Wise Jr., and Will Harris to free agent contracts. These moves may not stick out quite like the Samuel or Tunsil trades, but they are important for the team in 2025. And if this all works out … each addition on the defensive end may end up helping Washington reach the Super Bowl for the first time in decades.

Rams, Sean McVay Drop Clever Reaction to Surprise Reference by Lil' Wayne
Rams, Sean McVay Drop Clever Reaction to Surprise Reference by Lil' Wayne originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sean McVay found his way into "Tha Carter VI" courtesy of Lil' Wayne. The Grammy winning rapper dropped his much-anticipated newest album Friday. It's the sixth installment of his "Tha Carter" album series that's won over his fans over the years. Now he's grabbed the attention of the Los Angeles Rams. Wayne references the Super Bowl winning head coach on the track "Welcome to Tha Carter," which is the second track off the 19-song album. The song starts with a church choir theme intro, but then blends in drums and Wayne's signature rapping voice. It goes from Gospel theme to one filled with sports references -- including this lyric that brings up McVay: "Smokin that bomb LA like I'm McVay/Bombs away, I'm just tryna concentrate," Wayne raps. Well, turns out the Rams heard that bar loud and clear. They posted this clever reaction featuring their beloved head coach. The Super Bowl LVI winner isn't the only L.A. reference on the track. Former Los Angeles Lakers champion and NBA All-Star Metta World Peace is mentioned by Wayne on the song too. McVay himself hasn't personally reacted to the song. But it's not the first time the Rams have reacted to any major Hip-Hop news. Rams mascot Rampage posted a picture mimicking Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" album cover -- which showed the mascot in front of the Buick vehicle just like the Compton native. Lamar released that album in 2024 and since has gone on tour -- including performing two shows at the Rams' home of SoFi Stadium. The Rams also used the late Nipsey Hussle's hit track "Grindin' All My Life" as part of their 2024 schedule release. Now the New Orleans native Wayne showed love to McVay and story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Super Bowl-Winning Coach Gets Name Dropped in New Lil Wayne Song
Super Bowl-Winning Coach Gets Name Dropped in New Lil Wayne Song originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Music fans likely all rushed to their devices on Friday, as Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne released what was the sixth of "Tha Carter" series. His 19-track album titled "Tha Carter VI" features from notable artists such as BigXthaPlug, MGK, Kodak Black and 2 Chainz among many others. The New Orleans rapper who many felt was snubbed from performing at this past year's Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs in the Big Easy has always been known for being a lyrical genius. While he's a New Orleans native and a well-known Green Bay Packers fan, Wheezy shouted-out Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay in one of his new songs, "Welcome to Tha Carter." Shortly after name-dropping former NBA star Metta Sandiford-Artest formerly known as Metta World Peace and Ron Artest, Wayne threw in McVay's name while alluding to one of his (Wayne's) personal favorite hobbies. "Smokin' that bomb L.A. like I'm McVay," said Wayne. Aside from being a music icon, Wayne is a huge sports junkie. He has made appearances on ESPN's "First Take," Fox's "Undisputed," and even won an episode of the iconic ESPN show "Around the Horn." As for McVay and the Rams, they came up a couple of plays short of playing in the Super Bowl this past season, and are hoping that with a new addition like All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, they can rectify their shortcomings in 2025. While McVay is likely appreciative of the bar from Wayne, he is also presumably focused on the team's upcoming minicamp in Maui. The Rams open up preseason play on August 9 against the Dallas story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
