Last Friday Bill Belichick, the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach, learned the high price of having a 20something, hot-bod, gold-digger girlfriend. The high resentment factor, I mean, shared by other older dudes.
A gut feeling tells me that Jordon Hudson is the main reason why Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He’ll eventually be admitted, of course, but this was his first year of eligibility for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and damned if he didn’t fall short of the necessary 40 out of 50 votes.
Hall of Fame voters who didn’t vote for Belichick, muttering to themselves and to Belichick telepathically: “You’ve heard from us, Bill, and now you know. We haven’t had a hot girlfriend ride us like a bucking bronco in decades, and this is your punishment. And guess what? You’re gonna take it and like it.”
ESPN: “Several sources who spoke with the coach over the weekend described Belichick as ‘puzzled’ and ‘disappointed’ by his inability to secure support from at least 80% of Hall committee members.”
HE to Belichick: “Puzzled”? Ask your dick. If your live-in girlfriend was in her 40s or a bit older, you’d be in like Flynn.
The turn-down was probably also about Spygate and Belichick being a Trump supporter prior to 1.6.21. I’m not saying the vote had anything to do with Belichick having worn that grotesque maroon sport jacket, but it might have been a slight factor.
The first ballot shut-down wasn’t a flat-out vote condemnation or any kind of stark rejection. Belichick will get past this. It was simply a slap-on-the-wrist vote.
