Bill Belichick On Girlfriend Jordon Hudson's Role
You don't have to be a huge football fan to recognize the name Bill Belichick.
He was undeniably a successful NFL coach with eight Super Bowl wins and a coaching career with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots that earned him a reputation as one of the greatest coaches in the game.
However, the 73-year-old University of North Carolina football coach's relationship with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has dominated the more recent headlines.
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Bill elaborated on Jordon's role in his professional career and personal life, given that their public interactions raised a few eyebrows recently.
For context, a clip of Bill's appearance on CBS Sunday Morning on April 27 went viral when Jordon interrupted the interview. When Tony Dokoupil asked how Bill and Jordon met, before he could answer, she interjected off-camera, saying, "We're not talking about this." When Tony asked why, Jordon said, "No." Based on this viral clip, and the couple's "weird" dynamic.
On May 9, the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast added more to the conversation when he claimed that two sources said the University of South Carolina-Chapel Hill allegedly didn't allow Jordon inside the football facilities, although UNC denied the rumors.
"While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities," UNC said in a statement shared with ESPN. "Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.
The podcast host also claimed that sources apparently said Bill's family was "extraordinarily concerned" with his relationship with Jordon. "Bill Belichick's family is extraordinarily concerned about what has transpired," Pablo alleged. "One Belichick family source told me, 'There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.'"
But Bill can speak for himself, and he did just that.
In his GMA interview, Bill said of their relationship, "She's been terrific through the whole process, and she's been very helpful to me. She does the business things that don't relate to North Carolina that come up in my life, so I can concentrate on football."
According to Bill, Jordon has even helped with his book, The Art of Winning. "I acknowledged her in the book, she was very helpful in that with the tribute pages and also given a perspective of the book from kind of a business side."
"Sometimes I get a little football technical she did a good job of keeping me on balance there," he said.

Charlie Batch Happy Steelers' Will Howard Learning From Bench
Charlie Batch Happy Steelers' Will Howard Learning From Bench originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch knows a thing or two about backing up a Canton-bound quarterback. He spent nine years backing up Steelers icon Ben Roethlisberger and ultimately watched him win a Super Bowl. Advertisement As such, he has a perspective that sixth-round quarterback Will Howard could use after Thursday's news. Pittsburgh finally ended its quarterback drama by signing veteran Aaron Rodgers on a one-year deal that is as much about redemption as it is saying goodbye. With a playoff-ready roster and an esteemed head coach, the organization has the talent to give Rodgers one more shot at playoff contention. On 'Up & Adams,' the former Steelers quarterback was happy to see Howard sitting, primarily because it eliminates the pressure of expectations. Batch spoke to Kay Adams before Rodgers put pen to paper. "They want to make sure he is learning from the pocket first and then from there allow everything else to kind of materialize," Batch said. "There's not a lot of pressure on Will at this particular point, and that's the one thing that he has an advantage of. Because all he has to do is put his head in the playbook, go out there and get the job done, where everybody else is being talked about." Advertisement With Mason Rudolph atop the depth chart before the Rodgers signing, there was a real chance that Howard would see playing time in 2025. Pittsburgh has been able to churn out competent teams with bottom-barrel quarterbacking before, but thrusting Howard into a starting role with playoff expectations would be harsh. Now, Howard can comfortably embrace his role as the third quarterback while soaking up all he can from one of the game's smartest quarterbacks. Batch suggested that in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense, Howard is a promising fit, given his proclivity for helping in the run game. "We know the mindset of Arthur Smith," Batch said. "He wants to run the football, and sometimes the quarterback has to pull the ball down on some designed runs that you actually have to use your legs and get the job done. So those are things that are gonna play itself out, but that's kind of down the line." Advertisement The Steelers seem to be gearing up for a franchise quarterback in 2026. But with a year of experience and a season's worth of seasoning from Rodgers, Howard could find himself with the upper hand in a quarterback competition next season.

NFL, NFLPA continue to hide ruling from collusion grievance
The NFL benefits from an endless stream of bright, shiny objects. Even in the offseason, there's always something to distract fans and media from taking a closer look at something the powers-that-be are trying to hide. As it relates to a significant collusion grievance that resulted in a 61-page written ruling from an arbitrator, both the NFL and the NFL Players Association continue to conceal the document. Advertisement The grievance focused on the refusal to give fully-guaranteed contracts to specific veteran quarterbacks — with primary focus on Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, and Kyler Murray. The arbitrator found, we're told, that the NFL encouraged teams not to give those players fully-guaranteed contracts. However, the evidence presented regarding the impact of this approach on the three quarterbacks at the heart of the case wasn't strong enough to trigger damages. So it was a mixed result. The NFLPA won, to the extent that evidence of collusion was found. The NFL won, to the extent that no money was awarded to any of the players. But neither side felt sufficiently good about the outcome to disclose it. The NFL danced around it in January. The NFLPA has said nothing about it, either. If this dispute had played out in court, the ruling would be a matter of public record. The NFL and NFLPA have created a private system for resolving disputes. And while the arbitrators who handle such matters typically insist on confidentiality while the cases are pending, there's nothing that prevents either the league or the union from publishing the ruling. Advertisement From the Super Bowl to the Scouting Combine to free agency to the draft to OTAs, it's been easy to forget about the 61-page collusion grievance ruling. A ruling that apparently contains something they don't want us to see. So what can it be? It could be (and we're not saying it is) that the evidence in the case includes some frank and candid internal communications that one side doesn't want to see the light of day — and that the other side has gone along with that. It also could be that the two sides were at one point actively negotiating redactions to the 61-page order to ensure that such frank and candid internal communications would not be communicated externally. Whatever the explanation, there's an important document that the NFL and the NFLPA are hiding from everyone. Despite the private nature of the arbitration agreement, pro football is an inherently public entity. It has millions of customers. It finagles billions in taxpayer money. It has a federal antitrust exemption that results in significantly more valuable TV rights. The NFL should be expected to release this document. The union should be, too. But with no one pressuring them to do it, they can jointly continue to hide behind the various bright, shiny objects that will continue to keep us properly distracted.

'How can ANYONE hate on him and Taylor's relationship? He is so supportive and proud of her,' a fan remarked, swooning over the TayVis romance.

One fan also appreciated the NBA legend's move to mention the 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker and noted, 'Respect to both Shaq and Travis for celebrating her win!' On Friday, the 35-year-old singer surprised the public with bombshell news, announcing that she had bought the masters of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital. 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away,' she wrote, adding, 'But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me.'
