Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Responded To Hall Of Fame Joke About Him
Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Responded To Hall Of Fame Joke About Him originally appeared on The Spun. After being the butt of yet another age-related joke at this weekend's Hall of Fame ceremony, Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson is (quietly) clapping back. While accepting the Bill Nunn Memorial Award from the Pro Football Writer's Association on Friday night, longtime Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot made a quip about the first head coach she ever covered — one William Stephen Belichick — and how he treated her when she would run a story that he didn't approve of. "If Bill didn't like something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me," Mary Kay recalled. "Now I totally understand why Bill game such a hard time. I was 28 [years old] at the time and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old." Earlier today, ProFootballTalk talked about how Cabot got the "last laugh" more than 30 years later. But that's not how one user (or Hudson) saw it. "Not much of a 'laugh,'" an account said, which Hudson reposted on X. "No wonder so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than [report] on the story." The joke was clearly a jab at Belichick's relationship with the 24-year-old New England native — which has come under fire ever since it went public last June. With Friday's honor, Mary Kay became the second reporter from the Cleveland Plain Dealer to win the award, along with the late Chuck Heaton who worked as a sportswriter at the paper for half a Belichick's Girlfriend Responded To Hall Of Fame Joke About Him first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.

During Hall of Fame speech, Mary Kay Cabot cracks a Bill Belichick joke
Mary Kay Cabot started covering the Browns in 1991. On Friday night, she received recognition for her long and distinguished contribution to the game from the Pro Football Writers Association, with the Bill Nunn Memorial Award. She became the second reporter from the Cleveland Plain Dealer to win the award, joining Chuck Heaton (the father of Patricia Heaton, better known as Deborah in Everybody Loves Raymond.) Cabot's speech at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket Dinner included a blue-ribbon burn of the first head coach she covered — Bill Belichick. Via Cabot said that Belichick would call and yell at her if/when she wrote something he didn't like. 'Now I totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time,' Cabot said. 'I was 28 at the time and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old.' Give her another award for that line next year, when Belichick will undoubtedly be in the room as he gets his gold jacket.

Lamar Jackson's recent honor isn't one that should be swept under the rug
Lamar Jackson sat until the final selection of the 2018 NFL Draft's first round. That's kind of hard to believe now, isn't it? Four quarterbacks were taken before him. You're more than welcome to make your own theories about who they were and where they landed: Baker Mayfield (taken 1st overall), Sam Darnold (3rd), Josh Allen (7th), Josh Rosen (10th). Ozzie Newsome's final first-round selection as Baltimore Ravens GM was a jackpot addition. The guy we all refer to as 'Action' Jackson hasn't disappointed very often. Four Pro Bowls in his first seven seasons with the Baltimore Ravens have followed his selection (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024)... So have three First-Team All-Pro nods (2019, 2023, 2024)... He led the NFL in passing TDs during the 2019 NFL season. He was pro football's passer rating leader five years later. Advertisement The Associated Press has twice named him the NFL's Most Valuable Player. Recently, he earned another well-earned distinction, but it got swept under the rug. That type of thinking should be changed immediately. Lamar Jackson accepts the PFWA MVP trophy For the third time, Lamar Jackson has been named the Pro Football Writers Association's MVP. He was presented with his trophy at Ravens minicamp. Things are seemingly going well, and it's easy to fall in love with the way things are progressing. He's connecting with his teammates and receivers. Baltimore recently announced the signing of his buddy Jaire Alexander. Advertisement QB1 and The Flock have labeled the coming season as their revenge tour. Everyone approves. They took a step backward last January by being eliminated in a Divisional Round road game after losing a home AFC Championship Game one year prior. They've moved past disappointment to refocus. The coming campaign is about winning it all. As long as Lamar is in the mix, they have a shot at beating anyone they line up against. This recent honor indicates that his value as one of the game's best players is appreciated. Congratulations to QB1. This is another well-deserved mention, one that didn't get enough press. Consider this an attempt to right that wrong and offer credit where credit is due. This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Lamar Jackson was awarded his third PFWA MVP award
