bill belichick: Jason Whitlock "connects" Diddy’s downfall to Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson drama

Sports media personality Jason Whitlock was the latest to jump into the Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson saga by "connecting" the North Carolina head coach to P. Diddy's troubles.

On Thursday, Whitlock said he had a connection between the celebrities and made his case during "The Jason Whitlock Show" while referencing a Washington Post article about the impact of Hudson's interruption to a CBS interview about Belichick's book.

"They quote an anonymous source," Whitlock quoted from the article before sharing his thoughts. "'She is not good at what she's trying to do' the person said, 'How could she be? She's 24'. That pretty much summarizes the position Belichick has put himself in. He is right now living the purposeless driven life... this is where Diddy connects into this."

According to Whitlock, Belichick's relationship with Hudson has affected his legacy, and he cited Hudson's interruption of the CBS interview as an example.

After Hudson interrupted the interview when reporter Toni Dokoupil asked about how they met, the narrative revolved around the interruption and not the book itself, which is off to a slow start in sales.

After winning six Super Bowl titles as the coach of the New England Patriots, Belichick is entering his first season as the North Carolina Tar Heels coach, succeeding longtime coach Mack Brown.

However, since Belichick arrived at Chapel Hill, more has been made about his relationship to Hudson than what's happened with the program.

ACC welcomes Bill Belichick's media attention

Despite the off-the-field coverage, ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said the media following of Bill Belichick is welcomed by the conference. During the ACC spring meetings, the commissioner opened up about the new UNC head coach.

"Listen, it’s a great thing for the league." Philips said. "It’s a great thing for North Carolina. And we’re all following just the massive coverage that Coach Belichick draws. I don’t know that he’s got a private moment to himself at all from what I can see and read and what I follow. But I think it’s good. I think it’s good for our league. It’s good for certainly North Carolina. It’s good for college football people."

Belichick's presence has already turned the Tar Heels into a larger draw for the media and TV networks. ESPN announced that North Carolina's season opener against the TCU Horned Frogs will be played at prime time on Labor Day night.

So while the attention on Bill Belichick keeps on mounting, the ACC seems to have no problem with it.

His favorite team is Army West Point as when he was young, Allan lived in West Point for a couple of years, went to pretty much every home game, a couple of Army-Navy games and even got to meet some of the players.

Allan's favorite players of all time include Tommie Frazier, who was unbelievable during the Nebraska dynasty of the early 90's. Tim Tebow was also a favorite, mainly because of his leadership skills, although he was also awesome on the football field. As a fan of defensive football, (or what's left of it), Sean Taylor could take over a game for Miami.

Allan has always considered himself a student of the game more than a fan of it. So the historical part and evolution of the game, as well as the ins and outs of what happens on the field, and being able to put it into words for the audience, are his biggest strengths.

Besides sports, Allan enjoys reading books, watching movies and spending time with his dogs.
