The sports media world lit up this week after a war of words ignited between two of its biggest voices—Pablo Torre and Bill Simmons. At the center of the controversy? Torre's extensive coverage of former Patriots coach Bill Belichick's relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson—a saga that continues to stir public fascination and criticism alike.

Jordon Hudson
Pablo Torre, host of Pablo Torre Finds Out, has gone all in on the story, offering detailed reports that include allegations of Jordon Hudson being banned from UNC's football facilities, which the university denied, and even securing an Airbnb once used by the couple. 'Dear @BillSimmons: Since you have such a strong public opinion about my work… I happen to have a few questions for you,' Torre tweeted, adding, 'Unless you're afraid of @pablofindsout and someone just 'pretending to be a journalist,' of course.
'
Bill Simmons, founder of The Ringer, took a sharp jab at Torre during a recent episode of his 'Rewatchables' podcast. 'I've never seen anybody dine on a stupider story for a week and a half while pretending you're a journalist. What the f–k was that? Seriously. 'Belichick's dating a girl. Oh, let me do nine shows about it. Settle the f–k down,'' Simmons scoffed. While he later admitted the topic was publicly relevant, he suggested Torre was milking it: 'Maybe do two shows about it.

The irony? The two are reportedly set to appear together on an upcoming podcast—an episode that may bring more sparks than insights.
Torre's reporting hasn't been casual. He has pursued public records, explored legal options for transparency, and unpacked the impact of the Belichick-Hudson drama on UNC's football program, where Belichick currently works in an advisory role. Meanwhile, critics debate whether this is journalism at its boldest or a tabloid-style obsession wrapped in podcast branding.
With the June 1 date—marking Belichick's drop in buyout—from $10 million to $1 million now passed, speculation around his future continues to mount. So does curiosity over what Torre might release next.

Sean ‘Diddy' ignored pleas for escorts to use condoms, ex-girlfriend tells court in sex trafficking trial
Sean 'Diddy' Combs twice rebuffed a former girlfriend's requests that male entertainers wear condoms when having sex with her as Combs watched, the woman said on Friday during a testimony at the music mogul's sex trafficking trial. According to a Reuters report, the woman said that Combs would 'guilt trip' her when she asked that the entertainers wear condoms during their frequent and lengthy sexual encounters. The woman is testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy, the report said. These sexual interactions resembled what another one of Comb's exes, Casandra Ventura, referred to as 'Freak Offs' during her testimony last month, it added. An audio clip heard by the jurors in the Manhatten federal court trial recorded Combs intervening after Jane asked a male entertainer named Don if he had a condom. As the recording was played, Combs rapidly tapped his fingers against his leg while seated at the defence table, the Reuters report said. "Why didn't you just insist that Don wear a condom?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked. "Because I just didn't want to disappoint my lover," Jane responded, referring to Combs. Jane said she and Combs dated from 2021 through 2024. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five felony counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say he coerced women over two decades to take part in elaborate, drug-fueled sexual performances during Freak Offs over two decades, the report said. The Bad Boy Records founder's defense lawyers have acknowledged that Combs was occasionally abusive in domestic relationships, but say the women who took part in 'Freak Offs' did so consensually. During the first day of her testimony on Thursday, Jane said she was 'head over heels' for Combs and wanted to have a one-on-one relationship with him, but that starting five months into their relationship most of their time together involved sexual interactions with male escorts in hotels. Jane said that when she told Combs she wanted those encounters to stop, he threatened to stop paying her rent. On Friday, Jane frequently sobbed and dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she told jurors how Combs would encourage her to keep going even after she grew tired during the encounters, which she said often lasted 24 hours or more, the Reuters report added. In one instance, which Jane recounted during the trial, she said she broke down crying after Combs said he had to leave following an encounter with an entertainer, despite having promised Jane a one-on-one date night and that the entertainer would be there for 'just a little bit'. "I hung onto those words, just a little bit," Jane said. "I was feeling terrible that he was going to leave me alone."

'We were having too much fun': Bill Belichick reacts to podcast clip revealing why Tyler Seguin's Bruins exit still gets laughs
Bill Belichick reacts to podcast clip revealing why Tyler Seguin's Bruins exit still gets laughs (Imager via Getty) A funny moment from a recent podcast episode has fans talking. Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman joked on Thursday, June 6, 2025, that renowned coach Bill Belichick could have influenced Tyler Seguin's departure from the Boston Bruins. The narrative arose on the podcast "Dudes on Dudes," co-hosted by Edelman with former Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski. Julian Edelman says Tyler Seguin was 'influencing' Patriots players Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski were talking about their time in Boston during a podcast recorded on June 6. They discussed their off-field friendship with the N.H.L. player Tyler Seguin, who played for the Boston Bruins from 2010 to 2013. 'We were having too much fun,' Julian Edelman said with a laugh. 'I think Coach Belichick had him traded because he was influencing us.' The remark was obviously a wisecrack, but it played on ancient gossip. For all the trade whispers that existed about Tyler Seguin, he had caused the Dallas Stars no problems since being sent from the Boston Bruins in July 2013. Despite a report that linked the Bruins to having to trade the forward because of behavior away from the rink and one more that the Bruins tried to get Seguin back at the trade deadline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Luzimangues: Quanto vale a sua casa?

One of his greatest moments was his hat-trick game against the Boston Bruins. Remembering that evening, Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman noted Seguin "made a statement." Seguin only appeared in 20 regular-season games during the 2024–25 NHL season. Most of the season, he missed because of a left hip injury. December 2024 brought surgical treatment for a torn labrum and femoral acetabular impingement. Before the playoffs, he produced 12 assists and nine goals. Seguin had four assists and four goals in 18 playoff games in 2025. He finished the season with a strong presence, helping the Stars on their postseason run. In his NHL career so far, he has played 989 games and scored 809 points. His trade may have been years ago, but Tyler Seguin's legacy—and the stories around it—are still remembered.
