“I Got A Thumbs Down From Her”: Bill Belichick’s GF Jordon Hudson Reaches Out To Dave Portnoy After Barstool Questions Coach’s Cheer Appearance

Bill Belichick’s girlfriend seems to be very much in love with her man and will go to any lengths to support him, it looks like. Dave Portnoy recently discussed Jordon Hudson’s go at cheerleading, with Belichick’s girlfriend even participating at an adult co-ed event lately.

While Portnoy seemed pretty skeptical about her prowess at the sport, his co-hosts seemed pretty positive about Hudson as a cheerleader. Portnoy then revealed that he actually got a thumbs-down emoji from Hudson in his DMs out of the blue, despite him not sending her any message. It seems like Hudson did not like Portnoy’s comments about Bill Belichick doing a disappointing job with the UNC Tar Heels which he made in an earlier podcast episode.

“I got a thumbs down from her. She DM’d me a thumbs down.” Dave Portnoy said.

Bill Belichick is currently in the first season of his job as a college football coach with the UNC Tar Heels, after being an NFL coach for so long. However, the coach looks so different from what football fans are used to seeing, with the legend making horrible mistakes and calls with his team.

Belichick has been awfully trolled for not just his disappointing stint with the Tar Heels, but also for his relationship with Jordon Hudson, with whom he shares a bewildering 49-year age-gap. Hudson has also been called out for reportedly influencing Belichick and his activities a little too much, but the coach himself looks pretty happy with his relationship.

“I have great respect and genuinely care for the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and Tisch families. The New York Giants played an important role in my life and in my coaching journey. It was a privilege for me to work for the Mara family and be a member of Coach Parcells’ staff for over a decade…” Bill Belichick said.

The legendary football coach also confirmed that he definitely does not want to coach any NFL team, even in the future. However, fans speculate that things might change soon with Belichick’s Tar Heels playing so badly as of now.
