Mary Kay Cabot couldn’t resist the chance to take a shot at Bill Belichick during her speech at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket Dinner on Friday. The longtime Browns reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer was accepting the Bill Nunn Memorial award for her coverage, and threw in a playful jab at the legendary coach.
Cabot began by talking about how Belichick was her introduction to covering the Browns beat, and how that experience helped her to grow thick skin. She remembered the coach giving her phone calls to let her know if he didn’t like an article and giving her a hard time when she asked “dumb” questions.
But at the end of that story, she delivered a one-liner that seemed to make reference to the age gap between Belichick, 73, and his current girlfriend, Jordon Hudson , 24. It drew raucous laughter and applause from the crowd.
