Help me out here, please. Why does this couple's age/marital (engagement) status mean anything to anyone?
I googled to find out who he is so at least I now know he's a football coach. I don't know who she is. Ok, I looked her up, too.
I can unequivocally say that neither of them is for me.
My grandson (10) told me today that he's heard money can buy happiness. I asked, how does that work? Well, 3 ways. If you're really rich you can buy anything, and that makes people like you. Being rich will make you attractive to someone who could be a partner. And I can't remember what #3 was, but it was about as lame as the other 2. I told him I didn't think those were the things that would make me value or love someone. He's 10.
No Mark, that's not what "they" are teaching, that's just a 10-year-old.
Anf Judit, it's a story because he's a legendary figure in the sports world, generally considered the greatest football coach of all time (Tom Brady had a little to do with that, but Belichick was a brilliant leader and strategist) who now seems to be making some odd choices in his life.
It's also a story because she has been forcing herself into the limelight by appointing herself his new public relations manager, openly controlling when & what he says in press conferences, being by his side at all of his public appearances including his current college team's practices, and being cc'd on all his emails.
She is trying to be Miss USA and is clearly using him for his fame & money, which of course in none of our business, but fame brings the spotlight and while gold-diggers are a historical fact of life, they're also a bummer.
The situation has also called his mental acuity into question, but who knows about that? Hopefully he's fully aware that she's using him and he just doesn't care, which means neither should we.
But as long as he remains in the spotlight it's going to be a story.
Money doesn't buy happiness, just look at Melania. She often looks in photos like she was just forced to swallow a turd. Coincidentally, that's when the Donald is in the photo.
Lance, I was not putting down teachers. I have a great deal of respect for them and what they do. But you have to admit the curriculum has changed over the yrs since we were in gradeschool. They (those that decide curriculum) do not teach critical thinking anymore. When we were kids, we were taught to think for ourselves. For the most part, kids today are taught to believe what they are told. And they don't teach "new math" anymore. I still use it everyday.
You can't teach greed, but you can nurture it, make it more acceptable. And the 10 yr old had to get it from somewhere.
Mark, I think my grandson gets those ideas from the other 4th graders and from the movies he streams and video games he plays. It's very unlikely the school he goes to (and his teachers) would teach those ideas; it's a community-oriented public school that focuses on some pretty cool things and ideas. His screen time is what he loves most and now he has a phone that he talks and texts with those other 4th graders. I don't like that he has a phone, I'm old fashioned that way. At least his parents keep track of what he does and where he goes on the phone, and limit the hours he can spend using things with screens. If he could, he'd stay up all night watching YouTube. His goal when he grows up is to be a YouTuber. He thinks he'll get rich and be happy. I'm glad he's only 10.
Thanks, Lance. Your perspective and knowledge is helpful and I trust your understanding.
I hope Belichick has friends and family who are aware of his situation and well-being. I'm kind of sorry that the first I've heard of him is this part of his life. Wishing him well.
I also hope that his fiancé is kind to him. It would be wonderful if she puts him first.
I am so out of all of this stuff; one of the things that I loved about Greg is that he wasn't ambitious.
You know Lance she just cannot make herself his publicist, Bill does have a say in this, this is no kidnapping. She posts pictures on social media, that's the deal today, and she is probably pocketing some change from it in the process. Why give a fuck?
Bill, like many other men and women with age and money, enjoy gold diggers, since the beginning of time it's been going on.
Miss USA? She couldn't even be Miss Maine, God bless her though the prize is fucking Bill Belichek. That sounds like a great life with a shit sandwich without bread at the end of each day. Give and take, ying and yang. I actually enjoy these old fuckers getting fleeced by the gold diggers. I have always been a fan of the poor robbing the rich. David Geffen, you are the next contestant.
It may not be cute, but it's natural, evolutionarily speaking. Back in the day, when we were all hunters and gatherers, it was not a problem. Most folks didn't live past 40. All guys wanted a young woman so they could have the chance of more offspring. When people started living longer through better technology, guys still had the genetic instinct to prefer younger, more fertile women.
At the same time, women wanted a mate that would protect them against predators and bad guys, and be able to bring home the bacon. That equates to economic power, which may not come, in today's world, until later in life.
Bill has never given a fuck and this is not-giving-a-fuck on steroids. To be ridiculed both locally and nationally while still barreling ahead with this whole thing, you gotta give him some credit. I guess he is in love.
One of the sneaky better parts of this saga is Jordon's mom owning a sex shop/museum in Provincetown. Toys of Eros.
The reality is that no one really cared when he started dating her. It is the story as old as time - rich old guy dates young women. But now it has taken a whole turn into the bizarre. Mostly because Bill is famous for his steely judgment and holding everyone around him to the highest standard.
Hard Knocks the HBO documentary/reality show that follows a team in preseason wanted to cover Bills new college football team University of North Carlonia and pulled out because Hudson made so many demands including wanting producer credits. There is footage of his interview on CBS where Hudson stands off camera and vets which questions he will answer.
Bill was arguably America's alpha male both loved and hated, and now he his being led around on a leash - trashing his legacy by a 24 year old who aspires to win a beauty pageant.
And it's no wonder your reason goes bad -
Jelly roll will drive you stone mad
Pretty much. As long as they are both adults, of sound mind, and are open and honest about what they are seeking from the relationship, I don't see any issues. Now if the old guy was suffering dementia, that would be a much different story.
Remember that Belichick worked for Robert Kraft for many a year, who's pecadillos make Bill's May-September tryst seem quaint.
His bigger and more unforgiveable sin to me is that he is UNC's head coach now, and as a UVA alum, the Tarheels are my sworn enemy. My hope would be that the Heels lose a handful of blue-chip prospects over this, and that Bill gets caught in an uncompromising position at some co-ed kegger, but that probably won't happen,. A Wahoo can always dream. Of course, Thomas Jefferson had multiple children with his much younger slave, Sally Hemings, and didn't even free her when he croaked, so really, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Humans get weird with our cravings for security and validation.
Alpha Male - Let's talk about the Cleveland years when he had Saban and a host of other top notch coaches, greatest staff ever assembled coached my Browns.
He failed - It was all Brady.
'remember his stroke of genius of having a defensive coach be the offensive coordinator, and planned to play for field position instead of points .
I don't know if it's related to his version of Anna Nicole Smith/J Howard Marshall, but his ego must have taken a huge, massive blow when he only got interest from one team after he was fired by the Patriots.
The Atlanta Falcons met with him, no offer, and in another slap in the face, hired Raheem Morris, who is veteran coach who specializes in defense.
Less than 30 from topping Don Shula for most wins all time, Andy Reid says he is not retiring any time soon, so he will drop the 4th all time in a couple years. No way he returns to the NFL with his new mid 20's baggage.
