Scoff if you will, but no story in the current football universe moves the needle like a story regarding 73-year-old North Carolina coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend/handler/publicist Jordon Hudson.And to those who think we have too many Belichick-Hudson blurbs, we exercise more restraint than you’ll ever realize.There’s so much out there, from traditional media outlets to Page Six to TMZ to People and beyond. Some of them (like the recent Page Six item about the Nantucket socialites giving Hudson the frozen shoulder) are easily ignored.
