Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick criticized CBS News and suggested his infamous interview last year with girlfriend Jordon Hudson was deceptively edited.
Belichick made an appearance on Fox News’ podcast ‘Hang Out with Sean Hannity’ where the former coach said he ‘couldn’t believe’ the treatment he received from the network.
Hannity couldn’t believe it either, saying he was ‘stunned’ by Belichick’s interview and suggested the coach should sue the network.
‘You know, as we’ve seen recently, there have been more editing problems, and they go back over a couple of years—multiple examples of editing and interview process and all that,’ Belichick said.
‘You know, I thought that the interview I had with them was done very deceptively. I’ve asked for the transcript from them, and they won’t give it to me. They’ve done that with others. I’m not really sure what that policy is.’
Belichick continued, ‘I’m kind of confused about some of the things that they [CBS] say they are, but I don’t really see them living up to the trust that they talk about.’

The interview raised scrutiny into his relationship with Jordon Hudson due to her intervention
Belichick and Hudson have been a controversial couple since they first went public
The interview on ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ went viral for Hudson intervening and shutting down a line of questioning about how she met the coach.
It put their relationship under an even bigger microscope, leading to public inquests and scrutiny over Hudson’s role within the UNC football program all summer long.
Later in the interview, Belichick addressed another controversy he’s dealt with: his snub from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Belichick’s absence from the honor in his first year of eligibility was a shock to many in the NFL and beyond.
‘Honestly, I’ve been very focused on my job at the University of North Carolina and the players and the university there,’ Belichick explained.
‘So, you know, whatever happens, happens. But I’m proud of what we accomplished as teams at New England and certainly at the Giants, and proud of those relationships. So that’s what matters most.’
Belichick also expressed appreciation for support for his candidacy from the likes of Tom Brady and President Trump.
‘It’s great to hear that support from so many people and from so many different fields— not just football, but many others. And so, you know, I was very appreciative of that support and the positive comments that they made.’
