Jordon Hudson reportedly demanded content approval, partial ownership of UNC 'Hard Knocks' before NFL Films killed project
An offseason version of "Hard Knocks" was supposed to cover Bill Belichick as he embarked on his first season as head coach of UNC. We now know why that project fell apart. Shortly before NFL Films and HBO were set to announce the docuseries, Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, demanded both content approval and partial ownership of the show, according to Katherine Rosman of The New York Times. Rather than hand control of the long-running show to the 24-year-old Hudson, who has made no shortage of headlines this offseason at Belichick's side, NFL Films reportedly opted to pull the plug. Producers reportedly learned after the fact Hudson was in negotiations with another production company, EverWonder, to make a similar series. Per its website, EverWonder has been involved in a number of sports projects, most notably the production of Netflix's Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. It had previously been reported Hudson played an instrumental role in killing the Tar Heel edition of "Hard Knocks," with one of the show's executive producers alluding to her demands to be heavily involved in the production of the series: 'The conversation took a turn we were not comfortable with.' Not even NFL head coaches or general managers are granted final cut of "Hard Knocks" seasons covering their teams, as the show is ultimately controlled by the league itself. Belichick's inclusion would have been new ground for the series, but Hudson apparently wanted control over what would have been a very loud message about how his foray into college football is going. That desire for control has turned into an unavoidable narrative over the past few months, most notably when Hudson stepped in to nix a CBS interview question about how she and Belichick met. Questions about her involvement in the UNC program have become loud enough the Tar Heels felt the need to release a statement confirming she is not a school employee, but she is welcome at their facilities. And given the Times reported Hudson has told at least one person that she and Belichick are engaged, she may be in this for the long haul. The other area the Times reported Hudson's involvement in Belichick's professional life is a number of trademark applications in his name. Literally. Because the trademarks for the coach's well-known catchphrases, such as "No Days Off" and "Do Your Job," are all held by his old New England Patriots team, Hudson has reportedly attempted to pull a Taylor Swift and applied for trademarks reading 'No Days Off (Bill's Version),' and 'Do Your Job (Bill's Version).' We'll see how that one works out.

Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson reportedly sought partial ownership of UNC 'Hard Knocks' and content approval
NFL Films halted Hard Knocks UNC after Jordon Hudson demanded content rights and partial control (Getty Images) Bill Belichick 's transition from NFL legend to college football coach was poised to receive the Hollywood treatment. HBO's Hard Knocks, known for its raw and captivating portrayal of football teams during training camp, had its eyes set on the University of North Carolina and Belichick's much-publicized debut. However, the deal quietly unraveled — and now, all eyes are on one person: Jordon Hudson . Jordon Hudson's control demands ended NFL Films' Bill Belichick Hard Knocks project During his recent appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Bill Belichick brushed off the idea of a UNC-focused Hard Knocks, saying, 'Hard Knocks is training camp and we're not training camp.' But behind that dismissive statement lies a much messier backstory, one steeped in behind-the-scenes demands, shifting allegiances, and growing tension between Belichick's camp and the NFL's media apparatus. According to multiple reports, including The Athletic and The New York Times, a deal between HBO and UNC was nearly finalized by February 28. Just days later, everything collapsed. The turning point? Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Described as a 'creative muse' and a key figure behind the scenes, Hudson allegedly made demands that went far beyond standard participation. She reportedly insisted on both content approval and partial ownership of the show — an unprecedented request in the history of Hard Knocks. 'The conversation took a turn we were not comfortable with,' an executive producer admitted. NFL Films, unwilling to cede that level of control, walked away. Making matters more complicated, it was revealed Hudson had been negotiating separately with production company EverWonder, best known for its work on the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout for Netflix. Her interest in spearheading her own documentary version of Belichick's coaching journey added fuel to the fire, hinting at a possible conflict of interest that NFL Films had no intention of tolerating. Hudson's deep entanglement in Belichick's professional life doesn't stop there. On LinkedIn, she lists herself as CEO of Trouble Cub Enterprises and COO of Belichick Productions. Her presence at UNC practices and on the field — even seen assisting audio crews during media sessions — has already stirred controversy among fans and insiders. 'We're told that some owners aren't thrilled with the decision to feature Belichick on an NFL-owned platform,' reported Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk. Despite the mounting attention, UNC has made it clear that Hudson holds no official title with the program. 'There would be a public record of it,' NBC Sports confirmed, yet she remains a visible presence, one the university can't entirely ignore. Adding to her growing influence, Hudson has reportedly filed trademark applications for Belichick's iconic phrases — 'No Days Off' and 'Do Your Job' — with a new twist: '(Bill's Version).' It's a bold move that mirrors Taylor Swift's approach to reclaiming her catalog and further cements Hudson's ambitious role in shaping the Belichick brand. While the HBO docuseries might be dead for now, it's clear that Jordon Hudson is not just along for the ride. She's in the driver's seat — and her influence is just beginning to ripple across both college football and Belichick's legacy.

LISTEN: Lara Trump Drops Single ‘No Days Off' Featuring... French Montana
I didn't have that on my MAGA bingo card. Lara Trump has dropped a pop song featuring French Montana, complete with black-and-white cover art of the two posing together. The seemingly unlikely collaboration, which the president's daughter-in-law teased earlier this month, became official Friday with the 42-year-old releasing 'No Days Off' with the Moroccan-American rapper who once dated Khloé Kardashian. The single quickly made its rounds on X and, perhaps predictably, appeared to receive mostly positive reviews from conservatives—like a woman who makes art of Donald Trump posting an emoji to suggest it was 'fire.' Criticism was aplenty the other side of the aisle, however. A man whose X biography promises to block 'Elon bots and MAGA morons' commented under a recording of the single: 'Isn't an asteroid on its way here? I thought I heard that. Please hurry.' The song itself is on the shorter side at just under two-and-a-half minutes. It appears to feature a good bit of autotune and Trump, the recently departed co-chair of the RNC who has since taken a gig at Fox News, sings about putting in work outside the public eye. Trump opens the song by saying 'no days off' twice before opening her verse: 'I'm a little hard to read. You only know what they show you. When you turn on the TV. So think of this as a reboot. I'm more than meets the eye, so many different sides you don't know about. I'm putting in the work-work-work. So many days and nights got me losing count. To those who think they know me—do the math, you don't know the half, but if you listen closely, close your eyes, enjoy the ride.' Lara Trump filmed a collab with French Montana: — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) February 9, 2025 French Montana, who's real name is Karim Kharbouch, had his popularity peak in the late 2010s. That's when the 40-year-old, who was born in Casablanca but migrated to New York City at 13, released hits like 'Unforgettable,' 'All The Way Up,' and 'No Shopping.' It was in that same period Kharbouch, amid Donald Trump's infamous travel ban on some Muslim countries, told MSNBC the president needed to 'lead with love.' He also launched the initiative We Are the Dream in 2018 to help DACA recipients—undocumented migrants who entered the U.S. illegally as children—go to college. View this post on Instagram A post shared by French Montana (@frenchmontana) Trump tried to shut down the DACA program—created via a Barack Obama executive order—entirely in his first term but was rebuffed by the courts. The program has remained closed to new applicants ever since, however. Kharbouch faced fierce backlash after he was first spotted hanging with Lara Trump last summer but has been embraced by those in MAGA.
