Podcast host apologizes to Bill Belichick, Jordon Hudson: ‘My bad, coach'
Jordon Hudson's role in Bill Belichick's life has been frequently talked about ever since she shut down a question from CBS Mornings about how the couple met. More fuel was added to that fire when 'The Pivot' co-host Channing Crowder revealed the 24-year-old Hudson 'choreographed the open' of Belichick's interview with the podcast and 'had her paws' on the situation. Advertisement Crowder used part of Tuesday's episode to issue an apology to Belichick and Hudson, noting he got 'caught up in the narrative.' 'I just want to tell Bill, Jordon, I apologize for any negativity it brought to you,' Crowder said. 'Coach, we talked on the phone, I told you I respect you as much as I do anybody in this world. And what happened and the articles that came out was unrealistic and that's the opposite of what I wanted to do for you and what I wanted to do for your relationship, coach. So that's my bad and I wanted to put it out there as a man: My bad, coach.' Ryan Clark added that Hudson didn't have any say in the open of the show that included Belichick. 'That's not the truth. Bill reached out to me personally and we decided that we were going to ask about the book,' Clark said. 'But I asked, 'Hey coach, can we get into a little bit more?'' Advertisement Clark added he spoke to the couple for 90 minutes before the podcast interview and that Hudson even answered questions on camera — though that part didn't make the final cut of the episode. In fact, the co-host revealed Hudson left during the interview. 'I think the narrative that people want to build around her and her control wasn't displayed during our interview,' Clark said.

Woman struck and killed by Amtrak train in N.H. while trying to get dog off the tracks
A woman was struck and killed by an Amtrak train in New Hampshire Monday afternoon while trying to get an unleashed dog off the train tracks, according to police. Plaistow resident Alicia Leonardi, 42, was killed in a train crash in Exeter around 3:20 p.m., Exeter police said in a Facebook post. The preliminary investigation suggests that Leonardi and a male friend were walking a dog along the tracks when the train approached quickly from around a corner to their rear, police said. The unleashed dog ran onto the tracks at the sound of the train's horn, and both Leonardi and her friend tried to get it off the tracks. Both people were hit by the train while trying to rescue the dog, police said. Leonardi's injuries were fatal, while the man's injuries were minor. Exeter police are investigating the crash with the help of Amtrak police and others, the department said. Amtrak did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the crash Tuesday afternoon.

Red Sox roster: Liam Hendriks heads to IL again; journeyman replaces him
ATLANTA — The Red Sox placed veteran reliever Liam Hendriks on the 15-day injured list before Friday's game, confirming what multiple sources told MassLive. The club deemed the injury to be 'right hip inflammation.' A source with knowledge of Hendriks' recent medical history said Hendriks has been dealing with multiple hernias, contending that the issues date back to around May 8, when Hendriks went two innings for the first time. According to the source, the righty has been pitching through the issue in recent weeks but it got to a point where an IL stint was most logical. Advertisement 'He has been grinding through this,' confirmed manager Alex Cora. 'He grinded through it for a few weeks and after the last one, he he felt like he couldn't grind through it anymore. We put him on the IL and hopefully, we can take care of him right away and he can come back as soon as possible.' Hendriks, a 36-year-old two-time All-Star, made his long-awaited Red Sox debut on April 20 after spending the better part of two years rehabbing from Tommy John surgery (and experiencing various setbacks). Since being activated, Hendriks has been rather inconsistent for Boston. He owns a 6.59 ERA while allowing 12 hits in 13 ⅔ innings over 14 games. He has struck out 12 and walked seven batters. Hendriks was originally thrust into a low-leverage role, and after a rocky debut on Easter, put together nine straight scoreless innings over eight outings. The last five outings, since May 16, have not gone well, as Hendriks has been charged with eight earned runs on five hits in 3 ⅔ innings (19.64 ERA). He has been charged with two losses in that span and gave up a walk-off grand slam to Christian Yelich in Milwaukee on Tuesday. 'For him to be able to compete, that means a lot,' Cora said. 'Obviously, we want him healthy. Just go out there healthy and see how it goes. But right now, this is the smart thing to do.' Advertisement Hendriks, who made headlines last week when he publicly expressed his frustrations with his role and lack of usage in Boston's bullpen, looked hobbled on the mound during some recent outings, including last weekend against the Orioles. It's unclear how long he will be sidelined. Hendriks is in the final year of a two-year, $10 million contract that includes significant incentives based on appearances and games finished. There's also a mutual option for 2026. In Hendriks' place, journeyman righty Nick Burdi was called up, as previously reported. Burdi, a 32-year-old journeyman who signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox at the beginning of spring training, will be active Friday night against the Braves. This stint is his second in the big leagues this season; he logged 2 ⅓ shutout innings in two appearances against Atlanta on May 16-17 before being optioned back to the WooSox on May 20. At Triple-A, he owns a stellar 0.48 ERA (1 earned run in 18 ⅔ innings) while striking out 26 batters. He has allowed 10 hits and walked just five batters in 15 appearances. Boston's series with the Braves begins Friday night at 7:15 p.m. ET. The game is on Apple TV+. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
