Longtime NFL insider rips Bill Belichick amid Jordon Hudson drama: 'This is embarrassing'

Longtime NFL insider and writer Peter King ripped into Bill Belichick amid the drama with girlfriend Jordon Hudson. Whether it was the awkward CBS Sunday Morning interview, reportedly canceling Hard Knocks or having the appearance of controlling the coach, Hudson’s name has been a hot topic.

Count King among the latest to comment on the situation. Now mostly retired after a storied career writing and dissecting the NFL and all its characters, King couldn’t hold his tongue this time.

King practically didn’t recognize Belichick during the interview. The older, well younger, Belichick wouldn’t be caught dead doing something along these lines.

“This is a guy who owned every room he ever walked into and now he’s got a 24-year-old muse telling him what to do or trying to control situations that quite frankly she has nothing to do with or should have nothing to do with,” King said on Sports Media with Richard Deitsch. “Bill’s got to get a hold of himself here. He’s got to get a hold of this situation. This is embarrassing. It’s totally embarrassing for a guy who’s as great at his job as he is … This would’ve been a ‘Mike and the Mad Dog’ spectacular back in the old days.”

King also questioned Belichick’s attire and choice of appearances. Especially when TMZ starts snapping more pictures of the now-North Carolina head coach.

“(He) goes on Sunday morning television with a sweatshirt on with a hole in it,” King said, “but then why … a couple days after this, why does TMZ have him walking out of the Ritz-Carlton hotel, I think in New York, in a perfectly tailored blue suit. Why? Where is he going? And why is he on a national TV show looking like he’s going to a press conference in Foxborough on no sleep.”

Ironically, Belichick might have a good book and a biography worth reading, since it’s from his own perspective. Acclaimed author Ian O’Connor wrote a Belichick biography which was well received, but the coach was not quoted directly.

“That was a terrible look in the first place, but in general if you’re going to be promoting a book, or you’re going to be doing interviews, you can’t the sullen, disinterested person that Bill Belichick was for CBS,” King said of the CBS interview“You just shouldn’t do it then. Why do it? Anyone who watched that piece, anyone. For me, if I’m watching that, ‘I’m not buying that idiot’s book. Why would I buy this guy? I hate this guy.’ That is going to be the impression I get. Now, I think there’s a lot of good of stuff in the book.”
