What is the main topic of this episode?
Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
Pablo, what the f***? Pablo, what the f***? This is crazy. Pablo, what the f***? This is crazy.
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
See, I think we kind of both have confirmation bias in the comments.
Yeah, probably. We just look for somebody to tell us that we suck.
When I'm in the comments, what I see is a thousand, Pablo and Katie are such a great couple or whatever. And I'm like, I'm also there.
And then me. I haven't even seen Pablo yet. It's like a reveal. It's like I get, like, what's he wearing?
He's going to be in a ball gown.
Yeah. Oh, a second outfit. There he is. Miss America.
What is, are you in like a... Active withdrawal? No, you're in some kind of a suit, almost.
Oh, yes. Are these sensible separates?
They're sensible separates. Were you at some kind of an event? Or is this just how you... Pablo's very famous now.
Because of this. Because of us.
Yeah.
He's writing our coattails. Yes, the sacrifice we make being here having journalism happen to us live.
And this week, another twist in the back and forth media saga. Sports journalist Pablo Torre reporting that Hudson is being blacklisted by the university's football program. He shared the alleged details on his podcast.
Two sources at the University of North Carolina tell me that there has been a decision that was made last week. And that decision was that Jordan Hudson is no longer allowed in the football building. She is not allowed on the football field.
If you put me on a lie detector right now and you said, who's the greatest sports journalist in the world? I swear to God, I'd say Pablo Torres.
I believe Pablo Torres, who, you know, put out a big statement on Friday, basically dictating exactly where he got the information from higher ups of North Carolina and what have you. And I believe Pablo.
Once again, Katie Nolan, Michael Cruz-Cain, thank you for being here, and I'm sorry.
Yeah.
You have papers again in front of you. That's crazy. There's a box. There's a box in this room under this table. We're going to find out what's in the box because this is even weirder than it was last time. That's impossible.
May I say that's impossible?
I went on a reporting trip this weekend. What do you mean? I left my family to do this.
Yeah.
This episode will involve yet more online reviews. Oh, God. As a brief foreshadowing. And we tried not to do this. We did an episode about Vladimir Putin's partnership with a German soccer team. Okay. And this was important reporting. And the response from Greg Dickerson on Twitter was, quote, stop wasting your time with the small time stuff like Putin. We need more Belichick ring camera videos.
Oh, man.
And so after the episode came out and everybody was making a big deal of the fact that I said that Jordan Hudson was banned from the Carolina football facilities, from the field, from the program, that she wasn't welcome there, wasn't wanted there, all that stuff. University of North Carolina had a choice to make when it came to their response. They could have said, this reporter is incorrect. She is welcome here. Period. What they did, though, was release a statement.
And the statement said this, quote, While Jordan Hudson is not an employee at the University of Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina football facilities. Jordan will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina football and the university. End of quote. All right, so carefully worded, especially given how quickly they responded with that.
She doesn't work here, that's for sure. Which is an interesting thing that only became more accentuated when Bill Belichick resumed his press tour for this book that was the whole heart of the CBS Sunday morning thing that went haywire. And the messaging seemed to take on a very deliberate new tone.
I know that you're aware that your relationship with Jordan Hudson has been a headline over the last few months. And all of the specifics aside, because a lot has come out in the last couple of days, how do you think that that impacts your ability to coach this football team, if at all?
