Who Green Bay Hosted the NFL Draft? Take a Peek!
Bill Jordan Hudson Critiques Bill Belichick's Approach, Tyrese Halliburton's Girlfriend Shows Excitement, and Joe Exotic Marries
Hey there, no sweat off my back if you've got beef with Wisconsin!
We swing by Minocqua for our summer vacation - pure gold, yeah? The cheese, the beer, the beautiful trails, you name it!
But NFL prospects aged 21 and under aren't looking for picturesque getaways; they're searching for a city with a buzzing atmosphere where they can party and spend their future earnings.
This explains why several big-name draft hopefuls have decided to stay away from the NFL Draft, opting to hold their own soirees in their hometowns. On the flip side, the NFL had to invite lesser-known players like Jalen Milroe to round out their select group.
By the way, check out these photos of Milroe's green room. Looks like a furniture store, the back of a TJ Maxx, or a hookah lounge — the area rugs are an eyesore, to say the least.
Now, before Alabama fans jump on my case if Milroe gets drafted in the first round, let me make one thing clear: I have utmost respect for the rich heritage of Lambeau Field, home of one of the NFL's most illustrious dynasties. I'm just not sure it's cut out for hosting the NFL Draft, particularly outside under less-than-ideal weather conditions.
Imagine the draftees having to brave the elements — 45 degrees and raining — while posing for their jersey photos, with the commissioner donning a poncho, and Cam Ward securing bottle service at JimBob's Dive Bar, Grill & Grocery after being picked first overall. It brings to mind the 2015 Draft, where the official hats featured city names and skylines, showcasing places like the Space Needle for Seattle, the Golden Gate Bridge for San Francisco, and the Empire State Building for New York. Green Bay's? Just a bridge and a Wendy's.
Recapping the Past: Green Bay's First NFL Draft
Fun fact: Green Bay held an NFL Draft back in the day, but you'd need a DeLorean to time-travel to 1939 (for the 1940 season) to witness it. That's when Vince Lombardi was merely coaching high school ball.
A few intriguing tidbits about that one:
- They hosted the event at the Empire Ballroom in Milwaukee's Schroeder Hotel (now the Hilton).
- The number one overall pick was fullback/quarterback George Cafego from Tennessee, selected by the Chicago Cardinals (that's Arizona Cardinals these days). Despite having been drafted, he never actually played for them. Instead, he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers (most definitely not a baseball team) and was later called for military service during World War II[6].
- The Pittsburgh Pirates (who became the Steelers in 1940) selected an ineligible player due to an oversight. He was a junior but was listed as a senior in the Pitt-Penn State game program that year[6].
For more information about the 1940 draft venue, take a look at this tour. Frankly, it's as dull as that hookah-furniture warehouse situated within Lambeau Field.
Jordon Hudson Slams Bill Belichick's Wardrobe Choice
Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson attended a Carolina Hurricanes playoff game recently, and Jordon couldn't help but express her displeasure with her boyfriend's outfit.
Belichick sported a Carolina blue suit jacket, Carolina blue shirt, and a two-toned tie — the red, gray, black, and white color scheme of the Hurricanes was somewhat lacking, to say the least.
"Hoping you dress up for our date instead, baby," Jordon captioned an Instagram story post featuring a blue heart and laughing face emojis.
Bill Belichick: Dressed to Impress, Age-Inappropriate?
Despite the boys at Nightcaps and Screencaps being head over heels for Jordon Hudson, I have to call a spade a spade. The idea of a 73-year-old man dating a 24-year-old is more than slightly icky.
I realize Jordon is a grown woman (I get it), but put yourself in the shoes of a parent: how would you feel if your daughter was dating a 50-year-old? Exactly — not great.
And I can't forget about Tyrese Haliburton, the alleged NBA overachiever, who made an impressive dunk in the Pacers' 2-0 series lead against Milwaukee. His girlfriend was seen hyped on Instagram, wearing gold bell-bottoms in accordance with the game's "Gold Out" theme.
Tyrese Haliburton's Hyped Girlfriend
Moving on to a less controversial couple, let's check out Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend, Jade, going wild after his massive dunk against the Bucks. The Pacers had a "Gold Out" night, and Jade was decked out in gold bell-bottoms — quite a contrast to Belichick's indecisive fashion choices.
This brings me back to the Paul George era when the Pacers adopted the "BLUE COLLAR, GOLD SWAGGER" mantra, which was, you guessed it, cringeworthy. I appreciate Jade's bell-bottoms, though.
Congrats, Joe Exotic!
Joe Exotic, the Tiger King, recently married his sixth husband, Jorge Marquez. The ceremony took place while he's serving a 21-year prison sentence for a murder-for-hire plot against his arch-enemy, Carole Baskin[3]. Joe and Jorge tied the knot in a ceremony simulated by AI featuring a tiger officiating and Carole weeping tears of joy[2].
Prisoners typically do not have such unfettered access to cell phones and social media, so it's fascinating to see the level of engagement and online presence Joe Exotic maintains.
Possibly the Worst Proposal Ever?
Behold the worst proposal you've ever seen! I'm not even sure if this is real or staged, but it's undeniably terrible.
Cap off your day with this cringe-worthy proposal footage, complete with bird droppings a plentitude of random onlookers.
