Jordon Hudson is shading the Hall of Fame.
After ESPN and USA Today reported in January 2026 that the former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn’t reach the final round of the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting, securing only 40 of the 50 votes needed for induction, his girlfriend is retorting online.
In a Feb. 3 Instagram post, Hudson, 24, posted a screenshot of an order she appeared to have placed for three Pro Football Hall of Fame patches that had been cancelled, due to “unforeseen circumstances,” the email read.
Hudson did not seem to buy the email, however, writing in the caption of her post, “Hey @profootballhof, what were the ‘unforeseen circumstances’? 🤣”

Hudson’s post comes just after a source told PEOPLE that Hudson was planning a “huge bash” for Belichick in the wake of the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach being snubbed.
As A-listers from all over the sports world — including Tom Brady, LeBron James, Deion Sanders and Patrick Mahomes — said they’re baffled after Belichick, 73, was not voted as a first ballot Hall-of-Famer, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively that Hudson, 24, is planning to celebrate the former New England Patriots coach with a party on the same day as the HOF ceremony on Aug. 8.
“Jordon is planning to throw Bill a huge bash on the same day as the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony,” the insider says.
According to the source, the planned party aligns with the HOF ceremony this summer because those invited “were already planning to travel to support Bill.”
“The purpose of the bash is to celebrate alongside all of his people,” the insider adds.
When Belichick was first announced as a Hall of Fame finalist in December, he set aside his feud with Kraft, 84, who was denied nominations for the honor more than a dozen times following various scandals.
After it was revealed that Belichick was not voted into the Hall of Fame when first eligible, sports stars from all leagues expressed their confusion.
Belichick’s longtime quarterback Brady, 48, said, per ESPN, “I don’t understand it. I mean, I was with him every day. If he’s not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there’s really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it.”
Chiefs quarterback Mahomes, 30, said in a post on X, “Insane… don’t even understand how this could be possible.” Meanwhile, football coach Sanders, 58, called the snub “straight out IGNORANT,” writing on X that Belichick is “arguably the BEST NFL COACH TO EVER COACH THE GAME!”
The official list of 2026 inductees will not be announced until the NFL Honors on Feb. 5.
Belichick will not be eligible for reconsideration for the HOF spot until 2027.
