Fox Sports commentator Colin Cowherd has weighed in on the relationship between former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, 73, and Jordon Hudson, 24, suggesting family concerns might be financially motivated.
“Let’s be honest, families aren’t worried about Bill, they’re worried about the will,” Cowherd said on Sunday.
The relationship between Belichick and Hudson has generated significant media attention in recent weeks.
Cowherd expanded on his theory during his broadcast:
“Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A wealthy old man starts dating a young ambitious woman, and suddenly the family is ‘concerned.’ Look, I don’t buy into this whole idea that Bill is some old feeble man who doesn’t know what he’s doing… When dad’s worth over $100 million, suddenly everybody’s got questions like, ‘Who’s getting cut out?'”
The sports commentator continued with a more unusual comparison.
“If Bill was 93 and found wandering barefoot in a truck stop, yeah, we could all worry. But he’s not being held in a basement. She’s not spoon-feeding him oatmeal. They’re busy building their own brand, in Chapel Hill, no less. Air Jordon Hudson.”
Belichick, who parted ways with the Patriots in January, has an estimated net worth exceeding $100 million after his 24-year tenure with the organization.
While Cowherd focused primarily on potential financial concerns, there may be other factors contributing to family reactions regarding the relationship.
The couple has been spotted together at several public events in recent months, including college basketball games in North Carolina.
