Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of legendary football coach Bill Belichick, is making headlines after an awkward exchange during Belichick’s appearance on CBS News Sunday Morning.
The interview, intended to promote Belichick’s memoir, took an unexpected turn when host Tony Dokoupil asked about the couple’s relationship.
Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader, abruptly cut off the question, stating, “We’re not talking about this.”
Her interruption sparked widespread criticism online, with many calling her behavior “childish” and “unprofessional.”
Belichick, however, quickly came to her defense. In a statement following the backlash, he criticized how the interview was edited and portrayed.
“The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career,” Belichick explained.
“Instead, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative – that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation – which is simply not true.”
The criticism is the latest incident involving Hudson that has raised question marks over the nature of her relationship with Belichick. Previously, there were reports that Hudson played a part in the cancellation of the ‘Hard Knocks’ docuseries that was set to revolved around Belichiick’s first season as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
It’s reported that Hudson asked to be credited as executive producer and wanted editorial control, which included access to daily footage. These demands resulted in NFL Films walking away from the project, as they weren’t comfortable with the nature of the talks.
Does Hudson have form for this behavior?
Meanwhile, Hudson’s former boyfriend, 64-year-old Joshua L. Zuckerman, has yet to address the current controversy, but he previously expressed his continued respect for her character.
“She is wise beyond her years – much more than any 20-something I’ve ever met in my life,” Zuckerman said last summer.
“The narrative about her character is not fair to her.”
Zuckerman, a former business owner in the healthcare sector, emphasized that despite their romantic history, he still considers Hudson a good friend.
“I have been involved with Jordon platonically and romantically, and I consider her a good friend. I feel bad that she’s caught up in this whirlwind,” he added.
Neither Hudson nor Belichick has commented on Zuckerman’s remarks – likely due to the mounting scrutiny they already face. In fact, the media frenzy has grown so intense that some are questioning Belichick’s future at North Carolina, where he is currently under a five-year contract set to run through 2029.
While the NFL icon’s on-field achievements remain intact, the off-field attention – especially surrounding his relationship – is increasingly becoming a distraction that could have professional repercussions.

Rozpáraná tvář, překažená tutovka. Hertl zažil smolný večer
Smolařem úterního večera se stal Tomáš Hertl. Už ve druhé minutě mu rozpárala tvář hokejka Ryana Nugenta-Hopkinse, která českému útočníkovi nebezpečně zajela pod plexisklo na přilbě. Forvard Oilers inkasoval za nebezpečný zákrok trest na 2+2 minuty. Domácí kapitán Mark Stone potrestal jeho přestupek v přesilovce úvodním gólem, na který pak za necelých sedm minut navázal svou druhou trefou. Jenže to bylo ze strany Vegas všechno.Oilers jsou v letošním play off skutečnými machry na obraty. Prohrávali dosud ve všech sedmi utkáních, ale Los Angeles přesto vyřadili v šesti zápasech a na úvod druhé rundy otočili i zápas s Vegas.„Máme odolnost a zvládáme se vracet do zápasů, což je v play off nejdůležitější,“ řekl švédský obránce Edmontonu John Klingberg. Po dvou bodech si při další otočce připsaly největší hvězdy Oilers. Connor McDavid za dvě gólové přihrávky, Leon Draisaitl si k asistenci přičetl vyrovnávací branku 57 sekund po začátku třetí třetiny.Foto: John Locher, ČTK/APÚtočník […]
Rookie minicamp observations: Why Cowboys are so excited about their Day 2 draft picks
FRISCO, Texas — Regardless of how you feel about the Dallas Cowboys using another first-round pick on an offensive lineman, it’s difficult for anyone to argue with what they did on Day 2 of this year’s NFL Draft.Earlier this week, The Athletic’s Mike Sando wrote a review of the draft classes of the 16 NFC teams with thoughts from NFL team executives.Advertisement“They got the best guard in the draft, and they get a pass rusher opposite Micah Parsons who can actually win with speed,” an exec said about the Cowboys’ draft. “Their pass rush is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with. The corner they got in the third might have gone in the back end of the first round if he’d never gotten hurt.”The pass rusher that executive was speaking about is second-round pick Donovan […]
Rafael Nadal and the four musketeers of Roland Garros: Book excerpt from Chris Clarey’s ‘The Warrior’
Christopher Clarey, who covered tennis and international sports for 40 years for the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times, wrote what is widely regarded as the definitive book on Roger Federer: “The Master: The Long Run and Beautiful Game of Roger Federer.”Now he has produced a similarly authoritative book on Federer’s longtime rival and friend, Rafael Nadal: “The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay.” The book tells the story of both Nadal and clay-court tennis, using the Spanish great’s relationship with Roland Garros, the French Open, as its frame.AdvertisementIn an interview with The Athletic, Clarey explained why he chose this approach for tackling the subject of the 22-time Grand Slam champion, someone he covered for the entirety of his career and, as a Spanish speaker, with whom he was able to communicate in Nadal’s native language.“Rafa […]
