“Brady and Patrick Mahomes are both really good. Controversial, I know,” Belichick writes while sidestepping a direct pick.

Bill Belichick not losing sleep over CBS interview drama

Critics didn’t hold back, with Stephen A. Smith ripping Belichick for letting Hudson intervene mid-interview, saying:

“You spent 20 years not answering questions—why change now?”

Hudson was a “constant presence” during the CBS taping and has become a talking point from ESPN's "First Take" to "SNL." However, according to the Daily Mail, Belichick isn’t too bothered.

“He is not paying much attention to them,” a source claimed. “He is letting the moment ride out. It hasn't negatively affected their relationship. Bill has had his fair share of critics over the years who are eager to see him struggle at UNC. Many people want to see him lose some of the prestige he has built for himself as arguably the greatest coach of all time.”
