We attended the Miss Maine Pageant featuring Jordon Hudson (with Bill Belichick) May 12, 2025

Show notes

When it comes to covering the saga of current UNC head coach and former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, Madeline and Charlotte will stop at nothing to provide you with the best possible information. Which, this weekend, meant driving to Portland, Maine, to attend the Miss Maine Pageant that Jordon was competing in.

The gals simply felt that they wouldn’t be able to talk about the Miss Maine Pageant fairly without seeing it for themselves. And see it they did. They attended both days of the pageant and watched Bill cheer on Jordon, got very invested in the contestants, and gained a lot of insight into how Jordon presents herself. They came away with the feeling that Jordon still wants to be the center of the story, and with a huge amount of respect for anyone who competes.

So here, without further ado, is their full recap and analysis of Miss Maine 2025.

Bill and Jordon update, Spike Lee chose the Met Gala over the Knicks, F1 drama, a tense Oliva Miles x Hannah Hidalgo video, Joe Burrow has a type, BTS of our CNN appearance May 06, 2025

Show notes

Madeline and Charlotte start this episode off with a recap of their CNN appearance over the weekend (and say happy birthday to Charlotte’s mom!). Then, a quick update on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson: they’ve gone quiet. And the gals miss Jordon’s posts! Will she still compete in Miss Maine this weekend? Time will tell.

Then, it’s on to the Met Gala! The event’s theme was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and tons of athletes showed out for the event: the NY Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, GOAT gymnast Simone Biles, Chicago Sky player Angel Reese, tennis great Serena Williams, Savannah James (LeBron didn’t make it due to injury), and many more. And the gals think that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and his new wife Bry Burrows might have made their first official red carpet appearance at the Met gala.

Then it’s time for an NBA Playoff update, a check-in on Charlotte’s Knicks-Celtics marriage, and Charlotte’s admission that she’s a soft fan. The second round saw two upsets last night — the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics at home, and the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been on a tear recently, so the gals give an update on his recent antics, and a quick update on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s fight with Pacers star Tyrese Halliburton’s dad.

A much-requested F1 update: Madeline fills everyone in on driver Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly Piquet, who just welcomed a daughter. Piquet already has a child with F1 driver Daniil Kvyat. Then, the gals analyze a video of Notre Dame basketball star Hannah Hidalgo and former teammate, current TCU star Olivia Miles. They appear to be having a tense exchange at a WNBA preseason game, and there is a lot of body language to decipher!

The gals end the show with A Relationship Update: which Olivia is Joe Burrow dating? Larsa Pippen has a new younger basketball-playing boyfriend, and Aaron Rodgers could be….married?

Another Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson emergency episode breaking down a big week of new reporting and information May 02, 2025

Show notes

Madeline and Charlotte are back with another emergency episode about Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson. This week, the most famous relationship in college football somehow became the biggest story in the sports world — and has leaked out into the world beyond it. More reporting has been coming out all week at a rapid clip, and Madeline and Charlotte have tracked it so that they can break down and analyze all the new developments for SGS listeners.

The story picks back up where SGS left off on Monday. Information came out from the set of the CBS interview that Jordon was very difficult to work with, which is why they included evidence of her interrupting. In the aftermath of that story, Jordon posted an email from Bill in April that seemingly referenced the interview and said that a statement was coming soon. Bill’s literary agency then put out a statement that reads a lot like something Jordon would have written.

The Athletic published an article about how Jordon was the reason UNC’s Hard Knocks season — a docu-series set to follow Bill and the football team in the offseason — got canned. Information also came out that Bill’s friends are concerned, and Jordon was seen wearing a ring on her ring finger at a gala in New York City.

Then, the big statements: Bill put out a statement about the CBS interview through UNC, saying that CBS violated terms of the interview agreement by asking about his personal life and that Jordon was just doing her job (if you know you know). CBS then countered with a statement saying there were no interview parameters agreed to, and everything was fair game. Finally, news broke that Jordon has recently purchased close to nine million dollars worth of real estate in the Boston area since 2023.

Phew! The gals are exhausted! Thanks to all the new listeners out there — Madeline and Charlotte would love you to stick around for non-Belichick news as well. Lot of fun to be had in the Sports Gossip Show Cinematic Universe.

The fall of Shedeur Sanders, Travis Kelce unfollowed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds?, NBA Playoff fights, and an NFL Golden Bachelor Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

The gals are back with their regularly scheduled programming after the emergency episode on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson yesterday. Madeline and Charlotte start off with some updates from the NFL Draft, including the fact that the Giants took a quarterback with a very gen Z haircut. Charlotte uses this as an excuse to talk about the time in 2022 that a rumor started about former Jets quarterback Zach Wilson — that he was sleeping with his mom’s best friend.

Then, it’s obviously time to dig into the biggest story from the NFL Draft: The fall of Shedeur Sanders. Is the Sanders family the Kardashians of college football? Given that the Draft is the gossipiest thing about the NFL, there’s a lot to unpack here as to why Shedeur was taken so much later than analysts expected him to. But, as loyal listeners will know, it comes down to the fact that your employer is not your friend.

Then, an update on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who the gals haven’t talked about in a minute. Because Travis unfollowed Taylor’s (former?) best friend, the actress Blake Lively, and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. Blake is embroiled in a messy lawsuit, and Taylor might be dragged into it, and Travis is out here making social media moves. Also in the Taylor Swift universe, her friend Gigi Hadid turned 30 over the weekend, and Gigi’s boyfriend, actor Bradley Cooper, wore an Eagles varsity jacket to her party.

The gals also talk about how Ben Stiller flew to Detroit to go to the Knicks game, as did Timothée Chalamet and super-fan Spike Lee, and how everyone’s fighting everyone in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Finally, former NFL player Mel Owens will be the next Golden Bachelor, and the gals may have to bring back recaps.

Emergency episode about Bill Belichick’s bizarre CBS News interview featuring Jordon Hudson Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Over the weekend, CBS News Sunday Morning ran an interview with former Patriots coach, current UNC coach Bill Belichick that featured his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. It was ostensibly to promote his new book, but it was so bizarre, so concerning, and so confusing that fans of The Sports Gossip Show begged Madeline and Charlotte to cover this strange development in the saga that is Bill and Jordon’s relationship.

You asked, SGS delivered. The gals are here with an emergency episode about everyone’s favorite age-gap relationship on which they have, for better or for worse, become experts.

Before Jordon enters the frame in CBS’ interview, viewers learn a fair amount about how Bill conducts himself with the media these days. Spoiler alert: Very similarly to how he always has. CBS’ Tony Dokoupil asks Bill about his upbringing and success with the Patriots. He presses Bill on why Patriots owner Robert Kraft doesn’t appear in his new book. Then, Dokoupil reveals that Jordon has been “a constant presence” during filming of the interview, and viewers see her interrupt the process to say “we’re not talking about this” when Dokoupil asks how the two met. Viewers also learn that Bill does not operate his own social media channels.

Madeline and Charlotte dive deep into why this interview seems more concerning than any content Bill and Jordon have put out so far. They also discuss the potential psychology behind what’s going on here, how the people who were in Bill’s life before Jordon must feel about this, and wonder where things go from here.

The shocking Dallas Mavericks x Luka Doncic trade expose, early NBA playoff gossip, Jalen Hurts is married, and a Cavinder twin is engaged Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

The gals are playing hurt today, but the show must go on, and it’s as good as ever. Things kick off with a few news items about the Boston Marathon, Paige Buecker’s Day in Minnesota, and how Duke star Cooper Flagg declared for the draft.

Then, some relationship updates: the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark went to the NBA playoffs with her boyfriend, the Fever’s Lexie Hull is engaged to Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Will Matthiessen, and UMiami basketball star Haley Cavinder and Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson got engaged. Madeline notices footwear and rates how compressed the flowers are, and Charlotte notices the captions, and they both go on a tangent about Vera Bradley and American Girl Dolls. Plus: Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts got engaged and was very chic about it. And Dodgers’ star Shohei Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, had a baby.

Then, a hard pivot: Anthony Edwards got fined $50,000 for taunting the fans at the Minnesota Timberwolves-Lakers playoff game over the weekend (Timberwolves won). And the gals go right into some gossip about the NBA Playoffs! Clippers’ star Kawhi Leonard had amazing comeback game, Ben Stiller made a Severance hype video for the Knicks, and Knicks star OG Anunoby plays well when Anne Hathaway or Suni Lee are at the game…but Suni went on Monday and they lost. Plus, Celtics’ coach Joe Mazzulla is intense, and Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green sent a message to the public before going dark on social media for the 2025 NBA Playoffs.

And, finally, a deep dive into the disastrous season that the Dallas Mavericks just completed. After making the shocking decision to trade former-Mavs star Luka Doncic to the Lakers in the middle of the night, general manager Nico Harrison is back on his heels in weird press conferences. An explosive report from ESPN’s Tim MacMahon sheds some light on what seems to be a very, very dysfunctional environment down in Texas, and the gals once again remind you that your employer is not your friend!

ESPN’s Elle Duncan on this year’s “social media draft,” the best storylines in the WNBA, imposter syndrome in women’s sports, and that time Tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria Apr 17, 2025

Show notes

Madeline and Charlotte could not be more thrilled to have ESPN's Elle Duncan on the show! Elle is the anchor of the 6 p.m. SportsCenter, co-host of her YouTube show and podcast “The Elle Duncan Show,” women’s college basketball host for ESPN’s College GameDay, and host of WNBA Countdown’s studio coverage throughout the WNBA season with Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter.

Elle just wrapped up a very busy women’s college basketball season and is heading into the WNBA season, so who better to talk about the draft and look ahead? Elle talks about why this year’s ratings can't be compared to last year’s and why there’s such exponential growth in women’s basketball. She tells Madeline and Charlotte whether anything in this year’s draft shocked her, why she loves Hailey Van Lith’s story, why she’s intrigued to see how Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale play together in Dallas, why the women’s college game seems more popular than the men’s these days, and why this year’s WNBA draft was “the social media draft.”

Elle also tells the gals what it felt like to start working in women’s sports, how welcoming the women’s basketball world has been, and why hockey fans are the most intense. She reveals her favorite sports gossip moment of all time (when Tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria with his teammate’s wife). And, finally, the show ends with Elle’s signature vibe check, but she's the one who has to answer the questions!

All the drama surrounding Rory McIlroy’s Masters win, Paige Bueckers goes No. 1 in the WNBA draft, and explosive reporting about Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson Apr 15, 2025

Show notes

It’s the week after the Masters, and there’s a lot to unpack. First, Madeline and Charlotte trade off some fun facts about the Masters, and talk about how pro golf is basically Comic-Con. Then it’s time to dive into all the drama surrounding Rory McIlroy and his historic win on Sunday — it involves fellow golfer Bryson DeChambeau, former tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and his current wife, Erica Stoll. It also involves Tiger Woods’ divorce lawyer.

The WNBA draft took place last night, and UConn star Paige Bueckers went No. 1 overall as expected, and managed to make the moment about her teammates because she seems absolutely delightful. ESPN’s Holly Rowe appears to have hard-launched basketball star Hailey Van Lith and NBA star Jalen Sugg’s relationship, the Golden State Valkyrie’s Shayenne Sellers got engaged and drafted in the same week, and everybody in basketball knows everyone else. Plus — the emergence of super athletes.

An update on the Denver Nuggets’ firing of head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with only three games left in the regular season. Team president Josh Kroenke acknowledged that the timing was “crazy” and said neither Malone nor Booth “deserved it.” The gals reiterate that your employer is not your friend.

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: a conversation about The Athletic’s explosive Jordon Hudson reporting. UNC head coach and notorious 72 year old Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend has been active on the school emails, talking about how hiring Bill’s son shouldn’t be advertised as nepotism. Also, she’s trademarked a lot of new companies for Bill lately, and her email signature says she’s the COO of a fake company. AND, she’s competing to be Miss Maine in the hopes of going on to compete in the Miss USA pageant.

Finally, US vice president JD Vance dropped Ohio State’s trophy. A real metaphor!

Let’s check in on LeBron James! Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

The gals had too much to talk about this week, and LeBron James has been up to a lot, so they put together a quick special episode on the NBA star for your Thursday.

First off, a quick update to the prolonged fight between LeBron and ESPN talking head Stephen A Smith (0:44) (for a full primer, listen to this episode of SGS). It turns out that Mattel is making a LeBron James Barbie (3:00)? And the gals….love it? Someone send them a doll ASAP. In other commercial news, Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, is starting a high end skin care brand (5:02), and resident skin-care expert Madeline tells you everything you need to know about it.

Finally, the gals talk about actual basketball, and Charlotte issues an apology to the Lakers (10:24).

The Nuggets fired their star employees, Florida’s annoying championship + UConn’s triumph, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are ski bunnies?, and Tom Brady’s new dire wolf Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

Madeline is back from vacation (thank the good lord) and the gals are back in action! They start off by examining the recent breaking news that the Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, which proves that companies will even kick star employees to the curb (3:19). March Madness has officially wrapped up, and Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies are champions after a ten-year drought (9:43). They’ve also broken the Candace Parker Curse, which you can learn all about here. The Florida men beat Houston to win a championship, but Madeline and Charlotte were not happy with the outcome.

Notre Dame star Olivia Miles announced that she’s transferring to TCU (20:38). Speaking of TCU, star player Hailey Van Lith is now on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swim, so the gals decide where they’ll do their inevitable swim photoshoot (21:04). Then it’s time for a few couples updates: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been popping up in ski locales (24:09), soccer star Trinity Rodman hard-launched her tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton (29:22), and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne and Pittsburgh Pirate star Paul Skenes were featured in GQ (30:36).

In news nobody saw coming, a biotech company backed by Tom Brady and Tiger Woods brought back the formerly-extinct dire wolf (do it to a dinosaur and the gals will be impressed) (36:05). Gisele Bünchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente will not be attending the Met Gala which makes Madeline think that Tom Brady will be there (39:55). And, finally, an update on everyone’s favorite couple: Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson (41:21).
