Jordon Hudson is telling people that she and Bill Belichick are engaged (report)
The saga of Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson has taken another wild turn – reportedly towards marriage. The New York Times reports that Hudson has 'told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married.' This comes after weeks of rumors, hysteria and discourse about the well-publicized relationship between the 24-year-old Hudson and 73-year-old Belichick. Belichick, now the head coach at North Carolina, has been at the center of a media firestorm as Hudson grabs more and more headlines. The storyline reached a fever pitch recently when Hudson interrupted an interview with CBS to shut down a line of questioning about how they met. Things picked up further when Belichick was spotted in the front row of the Miss Maine USA pageant in which Hudson was a contestant. The report of an engagement is a surprising development given Belichick's relationship history. Belichick had been married to Debby Clarke Belichick from 1977 until their divorce in 2006. About a year later, Belichick began dating Linda Holliday. The former New England Patriots coach's relationship with Holliday lasted for 16 years. During that time, there had been no report of an engagement. The two reportedly split in 2023. It's been a little over a year since the relationship between Belichick and Hudson became public. During that time, Hudson has taken on a more public role and has appeared to serve as Belichick's de facto PR manager in recent months.

Report: Bills did not want to be featured on 'Hard Knocks' in 2025
Report: Bills did not want to be featured on 'Hard Knocks' in 2025 It was announced at the league meetings this week by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell that the Buffalo Bills have been selected to be featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks" during training camp this summer. It's the Bills' first time being featured on the show, though it is involuntarily so. And, reportedly, the distinction is an unwanted one per Tim Graham of The Athletic. "The Buffalo Bills do not want to be on 'Hard Knocks,'" Graham wrote. "They are not proud to be chosen for 'Hard Knocks.' They did not seek to be featured on 'Hard Knocks.' They loathe the idea of 'Hard Knocks.' Nobody from One Bills Drive told me this Wednesday because they didn't have to. I've covered the entirety of this administration and have had myriad conversations with coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane about the HBO show since they arrived eight years ago." Graham went on to note that members of the team's front office and coaching staff have viewed the program historically as a "distraction". Buffalo became eligible to be selected for the training camp series thanks to a new set of rules was introduced this offseason, expanding the pool of teams that could be chosen. Previously, it was a rule that teams that made the playoffs in the past two years had the ability to opt out from participating should they choose to do so. Teams already featured in the training camp versions within the previous eight seasons, and teams with first year head coaches also got a pass, and teams that are part of the in-season division selected or next year's in-season division are not eligible. The team qualifies under the new rules, as they have made the playoffs each of the past six seasons. Their training camp will take place at St. John Fisher University in Pittsford, New York in the Rochester area. They are currently the favorite in every game in their 2025 schedule, per ESPN Bet. Quarterback Josh Allen just had his first MVP season, and the team added significant talent in free agency and the NFL Draft this offseason. The club is also the feature of an upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie, will play their first game on SNF this season, and four of their first six games will be in primetime all while playing the send off season for their long time stadium. While Buffalo has been long considered one of the smallest markets in the NFL, the Bills are certainly getting their time in the spotlight this year. The show will premiere on HBO Max beginning Aug. 5 at 9 p.m. ET and air on Tuesdays through Sept. 2nd.

Rich Eisen suggests the NFL using Josh Allen's wedding for ratings—but will cameras be allowed?
Rich Eisen spotlights Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding as Bills take center stage on Hard Knocks (Getty Images) The upcoming season of HBO's Hard Knocks is already generating buzz, and for good reason — the Buffalo Bills are stepping into the spotlight. In a historic move, the AFC East champions are becoming the first playoff-caliber team to voluntarily join the iconic sports docuseries. But while NFL fans are excited to see inside the Bills' high-stakes training camp, the off-field narrative surrounding their star quarterback may be stealing the early headlines. The 'Hailee factor' may have influenced HBO's decision, says Rich Eisen Josh Allen, fresh off an MVP season, isn't just a football powerhouse — he's become a full-blown celebrity, thanks in part to his engagement with Hollywood actress Hailee Steinfeld . The couple's relationship has elevated Allen's public profile, blending the glamour of Hollywood with the grit of NFL Sundays. Rich Eisen, host of The Rich Eisen Show, suggested that Allen's relationship with Steinfeld could be a driving force behind HBO's interest in the Bills this year. 'The Hailee factor might have something to do with it,' Eisen said, hinting at the show's potential to draw in more than just football fans. Fellow host TJ Jefferson echoed the sentiment, implying that HBO is capitalizing on the added star power. The Buffalo Bills are Coming to HBO's 'Hard Knocks' and We Can't Wait! | The Rich Eisen Show Yet, not everyone on Eisen's panel agreed. Analyst Chris Brockman dismissed the idea, arguing that 'Hailee had nothing to do with the Bills landing on Hard Knocks,' pointing out that she won't even be present at training camp. Will NFL Films cover Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld 's wedding? Eisen doubts it With reports suggesting Allen and Steinfeld plan to marry at the end of May — likely on the 31st — some fans have speculated about the wedding making its way into the docuseries. But Eisen poured cold water on that idea. 'I don't think that will be part of Hard Knocks. I don't think NFL Films cameras will be invited,' he said. Though NFL Films has covered weddings of players like Davon Godchaux, documenting the marriage of an NFL MVP and Hollywood star would be unprecedented. Still, given Allen's relatively private nature and the couple's low-profile relationship, the wedding is expected to be intimate rather than extravagant.

Broncos learn 'Hard Knocks' fate after NFL announces 2025 team
Broncos learn 'Hard Knocks' fate after NFL announces 2025 team After the NFL revised its rules for compulsory appearances on Hard Knocks, the Denver Broncos became eligible to be featured on this year's version of the popular NFL Films show on HBO. The Broncos have not, however, been selected to appear on the show this summer. Instead, the NFL announced Wednesday that the Buffalo Bills will be featured on the summer version of Hard Knocks, with camera crews following the Bills through training camp and preseason. The league also debuted a new version of Hard Knocks last fall that follows an entire division during the season. After featuring the AFC North last year, the in-season edition of the show is set to follow the NFC East in 2025. Eventually, the divisional rotation will land on the AFC West. So the Broncos are poised to be featured on some version of Hard Knocks within the next six years. Hard Knocks is televised on HBO and available to stream on HBO Max.
