Ex-ESPN host delivers creepy remark on Jordon Hudson as he previews Bill Belichick's debut season at UNC
During a recent episode of his 'See Ball, Get Ball,' program, the former Cincinnati Bengals star addressed Belichick's upcoming debut season at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
'I have no clue what to expect from Chapel Bill except a hot honey walking the sidelines,' Pollack said in a clear nod to Hudson. 'That's all I know is going to happen.'
Hudson's constant proximity to Belichick has been a major topic since he accepted the Tar Heels job in December. However, for all the time she's been spending with her rumored finacee, Hudson is not expected to be walking the sidelines with Belichick in Chapel Hill. The legendary New England Patriots coach has already ruled out that possibility, telling reports in June: 'She doesn't have any role in the UNC football program.'
Pollack, a former Georgia star, also discussed the pre-draft process with Belichick in 2005, when he was the 17th overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals.
'One room was very different, and that was the Patriots with Belichick,' Pollack said. 'He chimed in, he asked questions. He asked questions about the scar on my head. No one else asked about that. No one else asked about the accident when I fell down the stairs on a house boat.'
Pollack would play only three NFL seasons before his career was cut short by injuries.
Belichick arrival at UNC has already led tp
Raleigh's WRAL News published a bombshell report Friday after receiving those internal emails in response to a public records request. Much of the discussion centers on the fallout from Belichick's disastrous CBS interview , in which he and Hudson refused to discuss the origin of their widely discussed romance .
However, the public records request also revealed an exchange between media relations staffer Brigitta Shouppe and senior associate vice chancellor in the Office of University Communications Beth Keith in which they discussed criticism from an alum.
'Never did I think UNC would become a laughing stock in the sports world because of his young girlfriend,' the UNC grad wrote in an email, as reported by WRAL.
Shouppe responded to Keith hours later with a proposed response, albeit one that misspelled Belichick as 'Belichik' throughout.
'Thank you for reaching out, for sharing your views, and for your continued engagement and interest in Carolina,' read the proposed statement. 'Coach Belichik [sic] brings a wealth of experience in coaching and football at the highest levels. The news media has demonstrated an ongoing interest in those previous experiences and activities outside of Kenan Stadium.'
Despite Belichick 's celebrated arrival at UNC and the uproar surrounding his relationship with Hudson , the new Tar Heels football coach's name was continuously misspelled by school officials in internal emails.

Those uncovered emails also lay bare Belichick's attempts to contain negative reaction to that CBS interview, much of which centered on Hudson's role with the team. The school has since clarified that Hudson is not employed at UNC, but remains welcome in the athletic department.
'Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship,' Belichick wrote to Keith. 'This is not a secret... Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her.
'Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.'
The Tar Heels open their 2025 season at home against TCU on September 1.

Randall backing England to blossom further after summer tour triumph
The Bristol Bears scrum-half, 27, was one of six try-scorers in Washington DC as Steve Borthwick's side completed a transatlantic clean sweep of victories after an impressive 2-0 win in Argentina. Fellow Bear Gabriel Oghre also capped a memorable international debut when he dotted down for England's final try after coming on in the second half. The match in the American capital kicked off an hour later than planned due to a lightning strike in the area, with the game then halted by a further half an hour on 29 minutes when another struck within 10 miles of the ground when England were 14-0 up. But Borthwick's side, missing several key players on the British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia, kept their composure to extend their resurgent run that has now seen them rack up seven wins on the spin – their longest streak since back in 2020. Randall has loved life in the camp over the last few weeks and is relishing the prospect of returning ahead of crunch autumn internationals against the likes of Australia and New Zealand. 'It's really satisfying – I think we're building something really special here over last few campaigns,' he said. 'There are a few boys away with the Lions – that strength in depth comes through really nicely. 'I think we've showed that over the last few weeks. 'It's one of the tightest groups I've been a part of – generally everyone gets on with everyone and ultimately that's what makes a great team at the end of the day. 'Having that camaraderie – we're definitely building that really nicely.' Randall, Oghre, Curtis Langdon, Luke Northmore, Cadan Murley and Jack van Poortvliet all scored in a commanding albeit imperfect display at DC's Audi Field. USA grabbed a late consolation through Shilo Klein to give the home fans who remained something to cheer about but England's work was done as they ended their triumphant tour in style. Replacement Randall admits he has never experienced anything like the delays that led to the game finishing 90 minutes later than planned but hailed the group for dealing with it in the best way possible. 'It was a bit of a disruptive game but you've got to adapt to these things, which I think we did pretty well,' he said. 'It was tough conditions – the ball got greasy and slippery but we got what we wanted in the end. 'It's the first time in that situation – it's a weird one. 'It was just a case of when that delay came, switching off, relaxing and keep sipping away fluids as it's so hot. 'When the time comes to get back out there again, it's about getting switched, warming back up and ready to come on when needed.' Purchase your tickets to the Autumn Nations Series at Allianz Stadium
