Cabot began covering Browns in 1991, when Belichick originally took over as head coach. She said in her speech that Belichick would call her and “shout” at her if she wrote something he didn’t like.
“Now I fully understand why Bill gave such a hard time,” Cabot added via Cleveland.com. “I was 28 at the time and he just couldn’t relate to a woman who was old.”
Hudson is 24 years old, and the relationship she has with Belichick was a big speech point in the spring after an interview with CBS. Hudson seemed to try to close down their relationship, and it sheds light on some of the inner work in what’s going on between the two.

Hudson seemed to catch the wind of the joke and issued criticism that others had.
“Not much of a ‘Laughter’,” the critical post read. “No wonder that so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than Roprt (Sic) on the story.”
Frenzy around Belichick and Hudson’s relationship has been simmered since its peak in the spring.
