Rob Gronkowski is just as tired of the Jordon Hudson discourse as we are. Speaking to People at the YouTube Brandcast upfront last night, Gronk said he’s “getting sick” of the media firestorm surrounding his former coach, Bill Belichick, 73, and Hudson, Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend (and part-time PR manager). Granted, much of the firestorm has come from Gronk himself, who, before last night, had publicly spoken out about Hudson three times in the last two weeks. The former Patriots tight end first defended the couple in an April 30 episode of his podcast, Dudes on Dudes. However, he then backtracked, saying he worries Hudson is a “distraction” to Belichick’s coaching at University of North Carolina. Just two days ago, Gronkowski mocked Hudson while speaking at the Fox Upfront Presentation, joking that in 1986, the year Fox began broadcasting, “Coach Belichick’s girlfriend wasn’t a twinkle in her father’s eye.” Lucky for Belichick, Gronk has a few suggestions for how the UNC football coach can reclaim his media narrative. “Bill has to produce, and I’m going to be tuning in, and I want to see him win some games,” Gronk told People. “Because if he wins some games, he’ll shut everyone up.” Hopefully, Gronk will be the first to fall in line.
