Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson Face Unexpected Burn in Shocking Hall of Fame Speech Roast

So, here we are at the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction, where Bill Belichick—yes, that mastermind coach with eight Super Bowl rings—isn’t getting his bust just yet, but boy, was he in the hot seat for some jokes! Picture this: Mary Kay Cabot, the veteran Cleveland Browns insider, stepping up to accept the Bill Nunn Memorial Award, and she drops a zinger about Belichick yelling at her when she was a spry 28-year-old reporter. Her quip? That Bill couldn’t relate to a “woman that old,” a thinly veiled jab at his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Now, here’s the kicker—while folks usually relish poking fun at Belichick, this time the humor landed flat, with many calling the joke “lame” and worse. It begs the question: when you’re already a legend destined for the Hall, should you endure the jabs—and maybe just wait to have the last laugh at induction next year? Oh, the drama behind the scenes is juicier than a fourth-quarter comeback! LEARN MORE.

It’s the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony today and while Bill Belichick is destined to get his bronze bust and gold jacket someday, today he was the butt of jokes.

On Friday, longtime Cleveland Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot was recognized for her contributions to football with the prestigious Bill Nunn Memorial Award at the at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket Dinner. 

While giving her acceptance speech, she spoke about her time with the Browns as a young reporter in the 1990s when she was 28 years old. The head coach at the time was none other than Belichick. 

Cabot recalled Belichick calling her to yell when he didn’t like one of her stories. She then joked that Belichick probably gave her a hard time because he “just couldn’t relate to a woman that old.”

“If Bill didn’t like something I wrote, he’d call and yell at me,” she said. “Now I totally understand why Bill game such a hard time,” she said. “I was 28 (years old) at the time and he just couldn’t relate to a woman that old.”

The joke was a clear dig at Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, who is only 24 years old. 

But while NFL fans are usually eager to have fun at Belichick’s expense, this time they were far more critical of Cabot for being “corny” and “lame” with her joke. Many criticized Cabot for her longstanding job of being a Browns reporter too.

“You think her brain rotted from covering the NFL’s biggest joke, for 30 years?” one user remarked.

“Novel. And literally will not be the last laugh,” another declared.

“Not much of a ‘laugh.’ No wonder so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than report on the story,” a third wrote.

“Her joke writers deserve less $$$. That’s lame.”

Belichick will get the last laugh though, most likely next year. 

He is eligible for Hall of Fame induction in 2026 and will undoubtedly be let in on the first ballot.

As the only eight-time Super Bowl champion in NFL history, he’ll have the floor to say whatever he wants when his bust is unveiled next summer.
