The Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson situation that escalated when she interrupted his CBS interview has now reached a tipping point.

Christian Pulisic: 'I don't regret' skipping Gold Cup, calls some criticism 'way out of line'
Christian Pulisic, speaking for the first time since opting to skip this summer's Gold Cup, said Thursday that he doesn't regret the decision, and called questions about his commitment to the U.S. men's national team "way out of line." Pulisic, in an interview with CBS Sports Golazo's "Call It What You Want," also revealed that he "did want to be a part of" the USMNT's two pre-Gold Cup friendlies, and asked coaches to be included for those games against Türkiye and Switzerland. "And they said no, they only wanted one roster" for both the friendlies and the Gold Cup, Pulisic said. "I fully respect that. I didn't understand it, but it is what it is." Advertisement As for why he didn't to play in the Gold Cup, a biennial regional tournament, Pulisic said that, "toward the end of the season" with his Italian club AC Milan, "my body just started talking to me, and my mind. And I started to think, 'What is gonna be best for me leading into next year and going into the World Cup?' And was that to play eight more games, and then get no rest at all, go straight into preseason, and grind another season, and go straight into the World Cup? "I had the make the best decision for myself, and also in the long run for my team," Pulisic continued, "even though clearly some people haven't seen it that way." The decision sparked fierce criticism from both fans and former players. Landon Donovan, perhaps the most famous player in program history until Pulisic came along, rekindled the controversy on Sunday while watching Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal celebrate their UEFA Nations League title. "This is what it means to represent your country," Donovan said on the Fox broadcast. "[Ronaldo's] 40 years old. He's played a long-ass season. He's tired. He's out there grinding, hurt himself in the process. And I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's pissing me off." Those comments triggered a response from Pulisic's dad, Mark, who, in an Instagram post, cited Donovan's late-career break from soccer and told the USMNT legend to "look in the mirror + grow a pair." Christian Pulisic liked the post. Advertisement In Thursday's interview, Pulisic did not name Donovan, but seemed to implicitly address Donovan's comments. "You can talk about my performances, whatever you want," Pulisic said. "But to question my commitment, especially towards the national team, in my opinion, that's way out of line." He later added: "I just don't understand why also so many people are so big on just wanting to give out these takes when they've been through tough moments themselves. I don't understand the idea of wanting to divide this fan base, and bring a negative light over it in any way. But we tend to do that a lot." Pulisic also admitted that, in general, the criticism from former players "is tough. You know, I looked up to those guys growing up. Some of these guys were my idols. I respect them so much as players." He said that, privately, some of the former players talk to him "and clearly want to show support, and be your friend and everything. And then they say something slightly different publicly." This story will be updated.

Christian Pulisic has his say as USMNT past, present debate his summer decision
After weeks of discourse about Christian Pulisic's decision not to play for the U.S. men's national team in the upcoming Concacaf Gold Cup, the Milan winger finally addressed his absence. On Thursday morning, Pulisic appeared on CBS's Call It What You Want podcast, a show hosted by ex-USMNT players Tony Meola, Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies. Advertisement 'It sucks for me to miss out with the team,' Pulisic said. 'I want to be a part of the team always. But to be honest, towards the second half and the end of the season, my body just started talking to me, and my mind. I started to think, you know, what's going to be best for me leading into next year and going into the World Cup. Is that to play eight more games, get no rest at all, go straight into preseason and then grind another year, and go straight into the World Cup? That's not what I felt was best for my body.' Throughout a lengthy interview, Pulisic repeatedly backed his decision as being best for his body and mind. He drew a direct link to his fitness and his ability to perform at his best, and that this rest would ultimately benefit him during a World Cup on home soil. He also revealed that he asked to be part of the team during its recent friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland, which the USMNT lost 2-1 and 4-0, respectively, but was told that Mauricio Pochettino and his staff only wanted one roster for the summer. 'The only point I would make with that is that I did want to be part of at least the two friendlies,' Pulisic said. 'I did speak with the coaches, and I asked and I wanted to be part of the team in whatever capacity I could. They said no; they said they only wanted one roster, and that's a coach's decision. I fully respect that. I didn't understand it, but it is what it is. I wanted to be a part of that, but that's just the way things went. I had to make the best decision for myself, and also, in the long run, my team — although, clearly, some people haven't seen it that way.' "I did want to be a part of at least the two friendlies, but they said no… I had to make the best decision for myself and, in the long run, for my team." Christian Pulisic opens up on his decision to sit out the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup 🇺🇸 — Golazo America (@GolazoAmerica) June 12, 2025 Stated as a wry disclaimer, it was the first of a few references to the backlash which followed his decision to skip the Gold Cup. A chorus of detractors have since questioned his loyalty to the USMNT, perhaps most vocally from program legends Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, who now co-host a podcast together. Advertisement In an episode released on May 28, Donovan compared Pulisic's decision to when he took a lengthy sabbatical in 2013. Infamously, Donovan's 'break' was among the top reasons why Jurgen Klinsmann ultimately omitted the program's joint-record goalscorer from his 2014 World Cup squad. However, Donovan said he felt Pulisic's decision lacked the same 'this is why' component that he himself had presented over a decade ago. Donovan also alluded to Pulisic's decision when appearing on FOX's UEFA Nations League final studio show and lauding 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo for continuing to turn out for his national side. When asked directly about Donovan, Howard and outside noise from former U.S. players, Pulisic continued to back his decision. 'To question my commitment, especially towards the national team, in my opinion that's way out of line.' Christian Pulisic responds to the criticism he has received from former players including #USMNT legend Landon Donovan 🗣️ — Golazo America (@GolazoAmerica) June 12, 2025 'I've always said you guys would probably be surprised with how little (discourse) actually gets to me,' Pulisic said. 'I try to stay away from it as much as I can. When it comes to those guys, I don't know… It is tough, because I looked up to those guys growing up. Some of those guys were my idols, and I respect them so much as players. It's tough, especially when — some of them, as well, privately, the way they talk to me and clearly want to show support and be your friend and everything. And then it goes, and they say something slightly different publicly. That's fine. It doesn't hurt me. 'Am I surprised by it? I don't know, not really. People are always going to have their opinions, but in the end, I'm focused on how can I better myself? What am I going to do for bettering myself and, ultimately, the best thing for the team. That's what I do. Of all things: you can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my commitment, especially towards the national team? In my opinion, that's way out of line. But you know how it is: people forget really quickly. Once I'm back with the national team — I hope — once I'm back with the national team and can play again, score a goal and win a game, people will forget all about this quickly.'

UNC baseball star mocked a late first-round pick in 2025 MLB Draft
UNC baseball star mocked a late first-round pick in 2025 MLB Draft Will Luke Stevenson go pro or stay in Chapel Hill for a third season? If not for several late-inning blunders in their Chapel Hill Super Regional, the North Carolina Tar Heels would be part of this year's College World Series field. UNC dominated Arizona in Game 1, 18-2, then lost 10-8 in Game 2. North Carolina's offense was virtually non-existent in Sunday's Game 3 loss, a 4-3 collapse, with the home team's only runs coming from a Jackson Van De Brake 3-run bomb. The Diamond Heels' bullpen struggled in Games 1 and 2, while Van De Brake committed a costly Game 3 error that shifted momentum. North Carolina should return most of its roster in 2025, but it'll have a much younger team. One star player UNC will miss is catcher Luke Stevenson, who – despite struggling in the Chapel Hill Super Regional – proved himself worthy of an MLB Draft selection. In USA TODAY Sports' latest 2025 MLB Mock Draft – ahead of the College World Series – which starts on Friday, June 13 at 1 p.m. with an Arizona-Coastal Carolina matchup, Stevenson is mocked 26th overall to the Philadelphia Phillies. "(He) does not possess the current offensive profile that (Auburn catcher Ike) Irish offers, but Stevenson is a pure catcher, with an athletic 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame that hit 19 homers for the Tar Heels this season," Gabe Lacques wrote. Stevenson hit for a career .267 batting average during his 2-year career as a Diamond Heel, collecting 117 hits, while mashing 33 home runs and driving in 116 runners. Though you may hear more about his offense, Stevenson is quite the defensive catcher, too, committing just four errors through 125 games.
