Thursday night’s NFL Honors, which awarded the game’s best players for the 2024 season and those who are affiliated with the sport or are fans, a chance to show out.

This brings us to former New England Patriots and current North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick, who definitely showed out when he brought his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, to the awards show.

Usually, that wouldn’t be a talking point, except the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach is 72 years old, and on this night, the jokes wrote themselves on social media and during the show.

Host Snoop Dogg got in on the fun during his opening monologue and roasted Belichick in good fun, and for good measure, the Dallas Cowboys caught some strays as well.

“I’ve been a football fan for a long, long time,” Snoop said. “I remember back when the Cowboys was good. I remember back when the Chiefs was bad. And I remember — what was it? Bill Belichick’s girlfriend wasn’t even born yet.”
