In the spring of 2024, I was watching the roast of Tom Brady on Netflix,
and people kept making jokes about Bill Belichick's relationship.
I laughed, though I wasn't quite sure I got it.

About a month later,
73-year-old Bill's relationship with 24-year-old Jordan Hudson became public,
and it seems like the country's been obsessed with it ever since.
There are interviews.

Investigations.
When did she get control over Bill Belichick's new media empire?
Articles, plural, in the New York Times.
