A pair of all-time greats were the targets of a few jabs at the ESPY awards Wednesday.
Bill Belichick received an early rip from host Marcello Hernández, with the comedian quickly turning to the North Carolina football coach’s relationship with 25-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson.
“In 1973, hockey players didn’t wear helmets,” Hernández began. “Basketball had no 3-point line. And in 1973, Bill Belichick was the age his girlfriend is now.”
Belichick, 74, has been dating Hudson for over three years, following the future Hall of Famer and Linda Holliday’s breakup after 15 years together.
Hernández also didn’t forget Tiger Woods, arguably the most dominant golfer of all time, who picked up his second DUI earlier this year in March when he crashed his Land Rover.
“I want to congratulate Caleb Williams for being on the cover of the new ‘Madden’ video game. Congratulations to Caleb,” Hernández said. ” And – uh – Tiger Woods will be on the cover of ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ I love you, Tiger. I’m a big fan, man. It’s just, it was written so well.”
Woods became a social media meme sensation when body cam footage showed him getting off a phone call following the DUI and told responding officers, “I was just talking to the President [Trump].”
“Grand Theft Auto VI” is slated for release in November, and is arguably the most anticipated video game in recent history.
The video game franchise gives you the ability to do just about anything you want, including illegal acts such as drunk driving, violence and much more.
Hernández’s opening monologue also took a shot at last year’s host, Shane Gillis, as well as World Cup visitors who are obsessed with ranch dressing.
At the awards, the Knicks cleaned up in a big way, winning “Best Team,” “Best Play” for OG Anunoby’s Game 4 tip-in and Jalen Brunson earning “Best Player” honors.
