Bill Belichick believes revenge is a dish best served cold in media.
More than a year after the disastrous interview with CBS that ignited months of salacious coverage about his relationship with Jordan Hudson, Belichick is blasting the network with both barrels.
During an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, the eight-time Super Bowl winner accused CBS News Sunday Morning of deceptively editing his now-infamous interview with Tony Dokoupil.
The current North Carolina coach thought he was sitting down with a venerable news operation to discuss his memoir, “The Art of Winning: Lessons From My Life In Football.” Instead, with his then-24-year-old girlfriend looking on from a few feet away, Dokoupil asked the 74-year-old coach about their May-December romance. Hudson repeatedly interrupted, delaying the interview by 30 minutes.
Belichick knows he’s been in the tabloid media’s crosshairs ever since. He unloaded after a sympathetic Hannity said he was “stunned” at how “horribly” the UNC coach was treated by CBS.
