The once tight-lipped Bill Belichick’s personal life has been a constant source of controversy in the past few months. His controversial relationship with Jordan Hudson, not only raised eyebrows about her influence in his professional career but also stressed the power dynamics between the couple, as reporter Pablo Torre puts it. Recently, the duo was engulfed in another controversy over belittling staff members. Now, Dave Portnoy has come to Belichick’s aid.

The crux of the issue centered around Bill Belichick’s podcast, ‘Coach’, whom he produced with Mike Lombardi and Matt Patricia. Hudson, who states herself as the Chief Operating Officer of Belichchick Productions, was present at the studio of NFL Films, where the HC used to record his show ‘Coach’ (discontinued). But soon the conversation stressed the graphics, with Hudson evidently disappointed with the graphics of the show. “I don’t know how they have four full-time graphics people.” “They can’t do s**t,” replies Belichick.

But unlike the popular opinion on the internet, Dave Portnoy has raised some questions. Portnoy’s first reaction after watching that clip was “I wasn’t crazy as everyone.” But for him what struck as the priority was finding out who leaked the tape. He continued by saying, “I was more like I think this is if this happened to me….if this was I’m whispering with somebody in a meeting and it was leaked. This would become priority number one of mine to murder whoever leaked this clip.”

However, the internet’s reaction was to Jordan and Bill Belichick’s tone of conversation.  “This feels like a ‘how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb’ situation,” Hudson said. “If somebody puts on a clock, I could create this in five minutes. Would you give me two grand to do that?”

According to Torre, people on the set didn’t realise she would show up. “She showed up and they (the people on the set) didn’t realise why she was doing any of it,” Torre said on Pablo Torre finds out. But Portnoy, who has an estimated net worth of $250 million per Celebrity Net Worth, continued, “People are out to get him right now. But who films this? ”

Greg Olsen further chimed in with his opinion, “My takeaway was also if you filmed every production meeting that I was in, if you filmed every pregame meeting that we’re sitting around in the booth kicking out ideas and people are sharing and I say I wouldn’t want a lot some of that air too, right?”

Ultimately, it became a question of finding out who would leak the tape.
