Zolak & Bertrand: Bill Belichick will be great on TV

Zolak and Bertrand discuss how Bill Belichick will be as an analyst this season on TV with Patriots.com editor Paul Perillo, who is filling in for Zo.

Bertrand: How do you think Bill will be on TV? Think he's going to be good? I think he's going to be great, Paul.

Perillo: I think he should be Yeah. I mean, I think that obviously he has an ability to do that better than anybody else. I mean, breaking down even the little snippets that you saw of the draft, he has an ability to watch film and come away with takeaways that most people are not going to get. So I think his ability to sort of present that will be the key. Can he do it in a way that it's going to be entertaining and interesting to the layman, people like me who aren't necessarily film junkies? So obviously his knowledge is going to be in a class by itself. I think he can be very good. I think that inevitably we will overrate how good he is at it because every time the guy talks and expresses even a modicum of personality, everyone's like, 'Oh, that's the real Bill. He doesn't let you see that side of him very often.' OK, well, he said that Drake Maye needs work. He didn't break the internet when he was breaking Drake Maye's college tape. I think he'll be very good at it if he wants to be and the second part of that is — something that Felger always talks about, and this is the big key — will he be willing to really offer analysis, not just praise but true analysis when things are breaking down telling you why, and telling you individually that this guy's not good enough, or that guy's not good enough for that coach didn't have a great game.

Bertrand: No, you're not going to get that from him.

Perillo: Well, he'll only be so good then.

Bertrand: Well, I sort of want to push back on that because my favorite type of analyst is the guy who's got the experience and the resume and then rips people because that's what's most interesting. When things go wrong, tell me why it went wrong. Who effed up? But I don't think every single person has to be that guy.

Perillo: No, he doesn't have to rip everybody, but when things go wrong, I don't want it to be ignored.

Bertrand: I don't think he's going to do a lot of it. I think he's going to do his best to be nice to everybody because he wants back in. So I just think there are different types of people who can exist in the landscape of people who are analyzing and talking about football, and he's not going to be that guy. He's not going to be the guy who tells you everything that went wrong, but he will tell you things that maybe you didn't know or didn't understand and that's where he's going to be valuable. But I think when I say he's going to do great, he's going to show off a ton of personality because he needs to. He's motivated to. So I think, generally speaking, when I say he'll be great. I think his employers are going to be happy because he's going to be well received by a ton of viewers. Is it my personal favorite kind of analyst? No, but I think he'll do great and make his employers happy and make the viewers happy.

Meet Bill Belichick's girlfriend. Her name is Jordon Hudson and the two have been dating longer than many think. The relationship has just become public recently but word is the two have been dating since 2022 soon after Bill's relationship with Linda Holliday ended. Not much is known about the 24 year old former cheerleader. But social media says a lot. But before we get to her stats, let's get into how the two met.

According to TMZ, Bill and Jordon met on a flight from Boston to Florida back in 2021. The two supposedly bonded over a philosophy project she was working on. The two exchanged numbers and became friendly over the passing time. The timing of their relationship is a little sketchy seeing as Bill and his long time girlfriend Linda Holliday just broke up in September of 2023. Rumor has it Bill and Jordon may have started getting closer well before that and as early as 2022.

Even though Bill and Linda's relationship allegedly ended in September of 2023, the word is it had been over since 2022. Bill and Jordon had been secretly seeing each other according to sources as early as 2022. Jordon had been seen at Patriots games several times in the 2022 and 2023 seasons although she is a Patriots fan which you can easily see by her IG account. Bill was also seen supporting Jordon at a cheerleading competition back in March where Jordon was either competing or coaching with her all star team (will mention below). Jordon was also with Bill at Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction last week.

Now, here is what we know about the 24 year old who stole Bill's heart.

Jordon is a pageant girl. She was actually the first runner up for Miss Maine 2024. She was also 3rd runner up in Miss MA Teen in 2020.

According to her LinkedIn bio, Jordon went to Bridgewater State from 2019-2022. She studied philosophy. To get a glimpse of what campus life is at the school you can see the video below:

She was on their International Open Coed Non Tumble Level 6 team that also competed at the world cheerleading championship in Orlando. Here is their routine from Spirit Fest earlier this year.

Jordon also cheered at Bridgewater State. Her team won a national championship after competing at NCA in Daytona in 2021. Bridgewater State has won multiple national championships.

According to her Linked In profile and IG, Jordon used to do henna tattoos. She worked at the West End Salon & Spa for two years. This was in Provincetown. Her IG says she worked at the Snip Salon as well.

Jordon studied cosmetology while also going to Bridgewater State at the New England Hair Academy. According to her Linked In: "Completed my cosmetology professional licensure" and this was in 2019.
