One of Bill Belichick's stops among his book tour was on an episode of "The Pivot" podcast with Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder.Belichick's first interview promoting the book garnered tons of media attention, when Jordon Hudson was caught on camera butting into the conversation when Belichick was asked how they met.Belichick has credited Hudson, 24, for being the business brainiac to his brand, but he has remained mum on getting any further than that in public interviews.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut that business side of Hudson was all in on Belichick's "Pivot" interview, according to Crowder."Hes all in if you talk football, but if you start talking personal stuff, he starts doing the mumble and the one-word answers, and his old lady is different. She lurks," Crowder said on his separate radio show. "Its weird to know him as Coach Belichick running the entire organization as GM, head coach, talent coordinator, all that stuff, and then to see this tiny little 95-pound girl pretty much telling him what to do."Crowder added, but did not elaborate on, that Hudson "choreographed the open," which included Belichick's accomplishments as both a coach and author."She was there. She kind of coordinates and brand manages. She has her paws on the situation. Its different . . . it was weird to be around Belichick and Jordon. I dont see Belichick in that light. But he just smiles and nods," Crowder continued.AIRBNB OWNERS SHARE SHOCK OF FINDING SHIRTLESS BILL BELICHICK ON THEIR DOORBELL CAMERA: 'CREEPY OLD GUY'Hudson was not at Belichick's interview with "Good Morning America" last week.According to reports, Hudson interrupted the CBS interview several times and even stormed off at one point, delaying the interview by around 30 minutes.Belichick released a statement sayinghe was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she had been doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips."CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichicks version of events.In the interview with The Pivot, Belichick cleared the air on Hudson's reported involvement with "Hard Knocks," ultimately saying that the show was not a match with UNC. He also reiterated that Hudson is not involved with UNC football, a statement that the school itself made following reports that Hudson was barred from the facility.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Ex-Obama aide and "Pod Save America" co-host Jon Lovett admitted on Jon Stewarts "The Weekly Show" podcast that he withheld his concerns about President Joe Bidens physical decline during the 2024 campaign.Lovett told Stewart and his fellow "Pod Save America" host Jon Favreau that he didn't want to publicly voice his concern over Biden's declining health because he wanted him "to f------ win.""I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but Im not going to go so far as to say, I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president," Lovett said on the podcast.

Following his diagnosis with a brain condition, singer Billy Joel has canceled all scheduled concerts.The five-time Grammy winner, 76, announced on Friday that he has normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up inside or around the brain."This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance," stated the announcement on Joels website.BILLY JOEL CANCELS ALL CONCERTS DUE TO BRAIN DISORDER DIAGNOSIS"Under his doctors instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period."Hydrocephalus is a general term describing the buildup of excess fluid in the brain."The fluid, called cerebrospinal fluid, is constantly produced in fluid-filled spaces in the center of the brain called ventricles," Potts said. "It flows through the ventricles and then around the surface of the brain and spinal cord, where it is then reabsorbed."Hydrocephalus can happen for a variety of reasons, including infection, trauma to the brain or bleeding within the brain, the doctor said.Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a version of the condition that is typically seen in older people, where the cerebrospinal fluid builds up without increasing the pressure in the brain.Despite the fact that pressure remains normal, NPH can impact brain function, particularly the areas of thinking, memory, movement and focus, according to Cleveland Clinic.The three main effects of NPH are gait issues, urinary incontinence and cognitive difficulties. Collectively, these symptoms are known as "Hakims triad."The cognitive problems can include memory loss, slow thinking and difficulty, according to Mia Kazanjian M.D., a board-certified radiologist in private practice based in Connecticut."This can negatively impact someones career and personal life, limiting the ability to do activities of daily living like eating, bathing and dressing," Kazanjian, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital."This can also lead to emotional changes, like depression."Urinary incontinence means loss of bladder control, which can cause discomfort, anxiety and embarrassment, according to the doctor.MINI-STROKES MAY CAUSE SURPRISING LONG-TERM HEALTH ISSUE, EXPERTS WARN"This can predispose someone to bladder infection and skin irritation," she cautioned. "If someone has to get up in the middle of the night due to this, he or she is more likely to fall. Furthermore, it can lead someone to isolate socially, which can lead to feelings of loneliness."Gait impairment means the persons steps are unsteady, there is loss of balance, and feet can stick to the ground, shuffle or freeze, Kazanjian said."The danger is that someone can fall and sustain trauma with a significant injury," she warned.The condition can often be mistaken for dementia, but some cases of NPH can be treated and reversed.The only known risk factor for NPH is age, Cleveland Clinic noted, with the average age of onset around 70.Other factors, such as race, gender or ethnicity, do not appear to impact the chances of the condition occurring.Approximately 0.2% of people between 70 and 80 will develop NPH, and it affects around 5.9% of those over 80, the above source stated.Only around 0.003% of people under 65 will get the condition."About 30% of people with NPH also have Alzheimers disease or a similar degenerative brain disease," Cleveland Clinic states.The condition is diagnosed through a combination of neurological exams, lab tests and diagnostic imaging (MRI or CT scans).The most common treatment for NPH is a surgical procedure called "shunting," where a device with two tubes, called a shunt, is implanted to regulate the amount of fluid in the brain.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"One end is placed into a pocket of cerebrospinal fluid, usually in the ventricle in the brain or a pocket of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar spine below the spinal cord," Matthew Potts, M.D., a Northwestern Medicine neurosurgeon, told Fox News Digital. (Potts was also not involved in Joels care.)"The other end goes somewhere else in the body that can reabsorb the fluid, usually in the abdomen.""Shunts are more complex than just a tube there is often a valve that regulates how much fluid can flow through it."Some newer shunts can be programmed to change the rate of fluid flow from outside the body, Potts added.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthSymptoms typically improve within hours or days of the shunt being implanted. The surgery itself usually entails days or weeks of recovery.Experts emphasized that timely treatment is essential to prevent severe or permanent damage to the brain from the pressure caused by the excess fluid.

ESPNs "Around the Horn" aired for the final time Friday after a nearly 23-year run.One of the main contestants on the game show throughout the years, Tim Cowlishaw, took a swipe at ESPN in his final comments on the show."I want to thank ESPN for the opportunity that I did not seek and never expected to get back in 2002. Id also like to say that while ESPN is currently gearing itself more toward hiring athletes instead of journalists," Cowlishaw said during the show's final episode Friday.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Around the Horn" consisted of four different journalists who would appear on the show and discuss current sports topics.

Caitlin Clark threw up her arms, yelled at WNBA referees and punched the air in frustration after a controversial no-call cost her team a chance to knock off the defending champions Saturday.In the final seconds of the Indiana Fever's 90-88 loss to the reigning champion New York Liberty, Clark took the ball with a chance to tie or win the game.New York's Natasha Cloud was defending Clark and leaned into the superstar enough to knock the ball out of Clark's hands and knock Clark back slightly.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMA replay showed Cloud pushing her shoulder into Clark's the moment the ball came loose.But the referees did not blow the whistle, and the game ended there.Clark immediately looked to the officials for a foul and quickly began to shout at them when she realized no foul call was forthcoming. Her teammate, Sophie Cunningham, also approached the refs to protest the lack of a whistle.INSIDE CAITLIN CLARK AND ANGEL REESE'S IMPACT ON MEN'S BASKETBALLThe no-call may have prevented Clark from winning the game at the free-throw line because the contact occurred on a shot beyond the 3-point arc. But it also cost Clark a chance at a major WNBA milestone.Clark, finishing with 18 points, fell just two points shy of a 20-point, 10-rebound game. It would have been the 11th of her career and the most by any player in league history. Clark is tied with Courtney Vandersloot with 10.Cloud and the Liberty walked away with the team's first-ever 3-0 start to a season in defense of their title.Cloud has been outspoken about backlash to physical plays against Clark.During an interview on the "Pivot Podcast" with Ryan Clark in March, Cloud insisted outrage in response to hits on Clark was rooted in "racism.""It's just a part of the game. There was no targeting, there was no nothing. That narrative that got spun into, Oh, the vets hate the rookies. The rookies hate the vets. The vets are going after certain players. It's all bulls---. If I'm just going to be frank, it's all bulls---. What it is is racism," Cloud said."It gets blown up into, Oh, theyre going after Caitlin Clark. But, no, we're just playing one of the best players that's in this league the way that any other best player or franchise player has been played."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

They did it again.After a 72-hour marathon of wrangling votes to keep the GOP caucus in line, Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump worked together to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill."Its a major, historic hurdle that will be the defining legislative product of President Trumps second term.From the outset, the political class in Washington scoffed and mocked Johnsons commitment to deliver the bill by Memorial Day weekend. Almost daily, the beltway media declared the timeframe unworkable and Speaker Johnsons coalition too fragile to meet such an ambitious deadline.MIKE JOHNSON, PRESIDENT TRUMP GET BIG, BEAUTIFUL WIN AS BUDGET PASSES HOUSECertainly, past efforts to advance marquee legislation like this have not moved this quickly so early in a presidency. Former President Bidens Inflation Reduction Act didnt clear Congress until deep into his second year. The Affordable Care Act was signed 14 months into President Obamas term. Even the 2017 Trump tax cuts came together in late December.But President Trump and Speaker Johnson are a formidable team. More than a year ago, Speaker Johnson was confident that Trump would return to the White House and Republicans would retake control of Congress. So, Johnson started planning. He was wisely preparing for unified government to unlock the reconciliation process a budgetary maneuver that allows major fiscal legislation to pass the Senate with a simple majority vote.Johnsons planning paid off big time. He moved swiftly to stand up working groups and frontload the legislative process more than six months before the election. This allowed him and House Republicans to hit the ground running at the onset of the 119th Congress. Thursdays successful vote was a testament to Johnsons foresight and his fortitude.Of course, President Trumps involvement was critical for ultimate success. The president made repeated overtures to ideological hardliners and centrist holdouts. Blue state moderates pushed to secure a deal on state and local tax deductions (SALT) among other things, while the House Freedom Caucus sought assurances on deficit reductions. President Trump hosted multiple, hours-long meetings at the White House. And in the sprint to the finish line, the President made a rare trip to Capitol Hill ahead of the vote. This was a gesture of goodwill to signal his support, and of course, to hold the fence-sitters' feet to the fire.All that was critical to the bills passage. President Trump and Speaker Johnson managed to keep this historically small and unruly GOP conference on track. They deftly managed conflicting concerns from within the party. The saber-rattling lasted up to the final hours. In the end, Trump and Johnson never blinked.Johnson is, in many ways, the ideal complement to Trumps tough approach to dealmaking. President Trump thrives on confrontation, and Johnson is methodical and reflective. The affable, young Speaker is thoughtful and pensive. He genuinely cares for and is interested in the concerns of his colleagues. These traits are rooted in his deep Christian faith.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTheyre the exact traits that have earned him a reservoir of goodwill across the GOP conference that many of his predecessors never enjoyed. This helps him wield the gavel under one of the slimmest majorities in American history.As Rep. Richard Hudson put it after the vote: "Hes different than any speaker I have worked with. I knew Boehner. I knew Paul Ryan. There is genuineness There is a humbleness. It just comes through."This goodwill has translated into a string of legislative victories. Under Speaker Johnsons leadership, House Republicans have logged win after win on key pieces of legislation -- from the National Security Supplemental ,to successive government funding bills, to the high-stakes House Budget resolution that set the stage for the Big Beautiful Bill. In more than 28 non-party-line votes in the House, hes suffered only three defections. This is a truly remarkable feat in todays House GOP.President Trump has dominated the national political scene for over a decade. Johnson is and will continue to be the Presidents strongest ally in Congress. Together, they are Americas most formidable team.Republicans still have a lot of work to do to get the "One Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law. The Senate will no doubt further test Johnsons speakership.But this week proves Johnson is the man for the moment. This week proved he is one of the most effective speakers in American history.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM NEWT GINGRICH
