Tom Brady reveals why he will never criticize Patrick Mahomes amid $375m Fox Sports deal
Tom Brady has opened up on why he will never be too critical of fellow quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes. Brady is the most successful quarterback of all time, having won seven Super Bowls during a Hall of Fame career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He recently finished his first season as an NFL analyst after signing a 10-year, $375million deal with Fox Sports. Brady came in for criticism after moving into the broadcast booth and it was recently put to the 47-year-old that he was 'very supportive' of Mahomes from behind the mic. Mahomes is considered the biggest threat to Brady's Super Bowl record, having led the Kansas City Chiefs to five of the past six Super Bowls. Brady helped the Bucs beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV but he told Complex Sports: 'How can I throw shade at someone who is as amazing as he is?' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Complex Sports (@complexsports) The NFL legend insisted he wants to be 'honest' and 'up front' with viewers but Brady also admitted that he is reluctant to be harsh on his fellow quarterbacks. 'I know what he's been through and I think the one position I'm in now as a broadcaster is I do feel responsibility a) to tell the fans what I see and be honest and up front about everything. 'But also realize that what these guys are doing on the field is extremely difficult. It's a high level of skill. You're looking at any of the 32 teams who have a starting quarterback out there. 'That guy's one of the best in the world at what he does. So do they make the right plays all the time? Certainly not. By the way, neither did I. 'And I think you have to have this context and perspective and you realize that it's not about this harsh critique and that's not really what it's all about anyway. 'To me, it's more about: let's point out the greatness of these individual players. Have fun, enjoy it, entertain a little bit and really try to to educate people a little bit.'

Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson gets slammed by his daughter-in-law after Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman defend her
Credit: Jordan Hudson/Instagram Bill Belichick's love life just got tackled harder than a quarterback on 4th down. The legendary NFL coach, who's been quietly dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, suddenly found himself in the middle of a viral storm not because of football, but because of an interview gone sideways. After Hudson stepped in during his CBS sit-down, former Patriots stars Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman jumped to her defense. But then came the curveball: Belichick's own daughter-in-law wasn't buying any of it and she didn't hold back. Jordon Hudson interrupts Belichick's CBS interview and fans were not impressed — ComplexSports (@ComplexSports) It all started with a now-viral CBS interview where Bill Belichick was chatting it up with Tony Dokoupil. But before the convo could get too far, Hudson swooped in mid-shoot and, according to many viewers, delayed and disrupted the segment. The internet didn't waste time calling her out, many thought she was being overly controlling, acting more like a PR manager than a girlfriend. Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman back her up: 'She's acting like his publicist, not just his girlfriend' Enter the bros: Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. On their podcast Dudes on Dudes , they tackled the backlash head-on. Edelman argued that Jordon was doing exactly what a PR rep would do, jumping in to shut down unexpected questions and keep the interview on track. 'People are giving an unfair reality of what's going on,' Edelman said. 'She's working with Coach Belichick professionally.' Even comedian Nikki Glaser chimed in with her support on Instagram, saying Hudson was just protecting her man like any good publicist would. In other words, Team Hudson had some strong voices backing her play. But Bill Belichick's daughter-in-law Jen Schmitt wasn't having any of it Just when things started to sound smoothed over, Jennifer Schmitt—Belichick's daughter-in-law and wife of his son Stephen, dropped her own take in the comments section. And let's just say, she wasn't buying the 'she's just doing her job' narrative. 'Publicists act in a professional manner and don't 'storm' off set delaying an interview, ' she wrote, shutting down the defense from Gronk, Edelman. The message was clear: whatever role Jordon thinks she's playing, it's rubbing some people very close to Belichick the wrong way. After days of speculation, Belichick himself finally released a statement defending Hudson. He claimed the interview had gone off track from its original intent, which, according to him, was to talk about his new book. When off-topic questions kept creeping in, he said Hudson stepped in to redirect the conversation. CBS, however, wasn't about to let that narrative fly unchallenged. In their own statement, the network said there were no preconditions for the interview, no topic restrictions, no off-limits agreements. In fact, they claimed it was all confirmed with Belichick's publisher before and after the shoot. So where does this leave everyone? Jordon Hudson is clearly more than just a girlfriend, she's involved in Belichick's business life, too. But the friction with his family, especially Jennifer Schmitt, shows there might be more going on behind the scenes than a bad interview edit.

Back in 2012, Williams found herself at the center of a heated debate for performing moves similar to a crip walk after defeating Maria Sharapova at the London Olympics due to the dance's reported association with gang culture. In a press conference at the time, Williams was asked if she had any regrets performing a crip walk as it's 'not just a dance,' per U.K. newspaper The Guardian. 'First of all. It was just a dance," she replied. "I didn't know that's what it was called. Second, why are you asking me that? If anything, you should be trying to ask me questions to lift me up not bring such things … I'm done with that question.'
