A furious Jordon Hudson is reportedly planning to host a major celebration for her boyfriend, legendary coach Bill Belichick, on the very same day as the Pro Football Hall of Fame's official induction ceremony. This bold move comes as a direct response to the shocking decision by Hall of Fame voters to overlook the 73-year-old, eight-time Super Bowl champion, who is widely regarded as the greatest coach in NFL history, as a first-ballot inductee.
The Hall of Fame Controversy
The omission of the former New England Patriots coach from this year's class of inductees has sparked widespread outrage across America, with high-profile figures including Donald Trump and Tom Brady publicly criticising the voters. According to a new report from People magazine, Hudson is already plotting her symbolic revenge against the perceived slight.
Planning the Celebratory Bash
An insider revealed to People that 'Jordon is planning to throw Bill a huge bash on the same day as the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony.' The guest list is expected to include prominent critics of the decision, such as Tom Brady, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcells, all of whom were originally planning to attend Belichick's anticipated induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio.
The 24-year-old Hudson also intends to invite 'many of the outspoken supporters from the wake of Belichick's HOF snub.' The insider emphasised that 'the purpose of the bash is to celebrate alongside all of his people,' turning the event into a defiant celebration of Belichick's unparalleled career achievements.
A Single Vote Short
It emerged over the weekend that Belichick sensationally missed out on Hall of Fame induction by the narrowest of margins. The 73-year-old, who won a record six Super Bowls as head coach of the Patriots and two more as an assistant coach with the New York Giants, was widely expected to be a first-ballot shoo-in.
However, reports this week confirmed that Belichick fell just short of the required 40 votes needed for enshrinement. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Gerry Dulac, one of the Hall of Fame voters, claimed that Belichick needed only one additional supporter to make the cut.
'To be elected, a candidate has to receive at least 80 percent of the votes, or, in this instance, 40 of the 50,' Dulac wrote. 'Belichick, according to a published report, did not. He received 39.' While Dulac did not disclose his own voting choices, he described the outcome as 'embarrassing' and stated that 'this whole mess has placed the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a precarious, unflattering position.'
Hall of Fame's Cryptic Response
Amid the growing controversy, some members of the selection committee have begun to reveal whether they voted for the former Patriots head coach. In response, the Hall of Fame issued a cryptic statement earlier this week, warning selection committee members of potential expulsion if they violated any rules.
'The Pro Football Hall of Fame understands and respects the passionate reaction of many fans, media members and enshrinees of the Hall itself in light of published reports regarding the voting results for the Class of 2026,' the statement began, notably without mentioning Belichick or any other individual by name. 'It's that very passion that propels the game.'
The statement continued: 'The Hall also respects the members of the Selection Committee when they follow the selection process bylaws. It is an honour to serve as a selector. Each year, the Hall reviews the selection process and the composition of the 50-person Selection Committee. If it is determined that any member(s) violated the selection process bylaws, they understand action will be taken. That could include the possibility that such selector(s) would not remain a member of the committee moving forward.'
It remains unclear what specific violations, if any, may have occurred during the voting process, particularly as the detailed bylaws governing the selection committee are not publicly available. This lack of transparency has only fuelled further speculation and debate surrounding Belichick's surprising exclusion from this year's Hall of Fame class.
