Bill Belichick has tried to land Jordon Hudson ‘6-figure' jobs, insider says
Bill Belichick has reportedly been trying to line up some lucrative gigs for his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée) Jordon Hudson. Journalist Pablo Torre, who has been prolific in reporting about the Belichick-Hudson relationship, told Pro Football Talk that the former Patriots coach has tried to boost Hudson's career. Advertisement 'Bill Belichick has told multiple people that I've talked to directly – he has called her brilliant. He has tried to get her six-figure jobs on the media enterprises that he was also working for," Torre said. Torre, the host of Pablo Torre Finds Out, has been vocal in highlighting the significant role Hudson plays in Belichick's life and business. Torre noted that, sure, the 49-year age gap is something that draws attention. However, he notes that there's a big story here. As the head coach at North Carolina, Belichick is the highest-paid public employee in the state. At the same time, Hudson has been acting as his agent, manager and PR specialist. Torre disputed the idea that Hudson was merely handling 'lower level stuff' like social media. He insists that Hudson is 'at the top' of Belichcick's operations. Advertisement 'She is the CEO of Belichick Productions, even if that LLC is not actually incorporated anywhere. That's the LinkedIn profile,' Torre said. 'She is his idea mill and creative muse, per the acknowledgments page of his book. She is the person that you had to deal with if you were Matt (expletive) Damon. The whole idea of, 'No, she's doing the lower level stuff.' No, this is at the top.' Why mention Damon? Torre noted earlier in the interview that Damon and Ben Affleck were put in the usual position of having to negotiate with Hudson when they tried to get Belichick to be in their Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial. Per Torre, the meeting left the actors 'flabbergasted.' More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.

NFL analyst makes wild claim about Commanders-Eagles' NFC Championship game
"The Commanders know they are going to get their asses kicked today." Mike Florio, host of Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports, told a story Friday morning. Florio began, "The day of the NFC Championship (January 26, 2025), someone I know who is very well plugged in, said, 'The Commanders know they are going to get their asses kicked today, and they are just kinda bracing for it.'" Advertisement Florio continued on air with the story, saying that his inside source told him that day prior to the beginning of the NFC title game in Philly, "I know people in the building. They know what is coming." The longtime show host asserted that he responded to his good friend, saying perhaps the Commanders' brass is simply preparing for the worst, if it were to occur. He said his source insisted, "No, they know the Eagles are dramatically better than they are, and it's not happening for them today. And they know it." Florio told the story in the context of his contention Friday (some four months later) that, "I think the gap is just too big. It's too big for one offseason. This is something that is a multi-year effort to try to catch and surpass the Eagles." Using the analogy of the NBA playoffs some 35 years ago, Florio said this gap between the Eagles and Commanders reminded him of how the Chicago Bulls had to work multiple years to catch and surpass the Detroit Pistons. Those old enough to recall remember how Michael Jordan and the Bulls lost three consecutive years in the playoffs to the Detroit Pistons. In 1988, it was the Eastern Conference semifinals, followed by consecutive years (1989 & 1990) when the Bulls fell to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, before winning six of the next eight NBA championships. Can the Commanders overtake the Eagles? Florio was doubtful, saying, "It's going to take multiple years, and even then, it may not happen." Advertisement Concluding the segment, Florio suggested, "Josh Sweat (DE) is gone, Milton Williams (DT) is gone, but the Eagles are still the Eagles." Well, Florio is rather confident the Eagles will remain atop the NFC East for the next few years. After all, quarterback Jalen Hurts is still quite young, and the roster is full of talented players across the depth chart. As per the conversation in particular? Well, we don't have the "source" on record that day claiming the Commanders knew and were bracing for a beatdown. We do know the Eagles did win that matchup against the Commanders 55-23. Florio does insist this is how it went down that day between him and his source, who reportedly claimed he had access to inside the Commanders. Yet, isn't it also true that in the NFC East, no team has repeated as division champions since the Eagles won the NFC East four consecutive seasons from 2001 through 2004? Advertisement It's important to note that the Commanders did beat the Eagles in Week 16.

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck were ‘flabbergasted' after meeting Jordon Hudson, insider says
It turns out that viewers weren't the only ones confused by Jordon Hudson's presence in a Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial alongside Bill Belichick. A couple of her famous co-stars were as well. In a recent discussion with Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, journalist Pablo Torre shed some light on what he described as bizarre negotiations to make the DunKings commercial happen. Torre reports that Hudson was acting as Belichick's agent. Torre, the host of 'Pablo Torre Finds Out,' has been notably plugged in with the Belichick-Hudson relationship. 'She was negotiating directly with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who were, I am told very reliably, flabbergasted that this was who they had to go through to get to the guy that they revered for decades as the greatest coach of all time,' Torre said. Affleck and Damon both grew up in Massachusetts and have been vocal about their New England sports fandom. They're plenty familiar with the former Patriots coach, who was famously media savvy in terms of keeping his life private. That's why it's been especially jarring to see Belichick and Hudson so open about their public and professional relationship with his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée). Torre described Hudson as 'kind of Bill Belichick's 'momager,' a mom/manager akin to Kris Jenner figure, the architect behind the Kardashian-Jenner media empire. Torre noted that Affleck and Damon were thrown off by Hudson's role in negotiations, but pushed on to secure Belichick's spot in the commercial. However, the North Carolina coach didn't come alone. Hudson reportedly 'forced' her way into an on-screen role in the Super Bowl ad. Hudson's appearance on TV screens in the Super Bowl was one of many catalysts that vaulted her into the national conversation as one half of the most talked-about relationship in football.
