The Summer of Belichick is in Full Swing with Trips to Amsterdam, Taylor Swift, and His Girlfriend Showing Him 'There's More to Life Than Football'

For your average 72-year-old spending the first summer off since he was a teenager, it would be enough to just kick back, relax, and enjoy a carefree, no-worries existence. To breath the free air of someone with no responsibilities for the first time in over half a century. But I'll fight any man who dares suggest Bill Belichick is average in any way. 

When you're a legend of his stature, no ordinary summer will do. He's more productive doing nothing than lesser mortals who grind 16 hours a day. His time off is busier than your whole year. From being honored by his ancestral homeland:

To killing it at both the Tom Brady Roast:

And the Tom Brady Pats' Hall of Fame ceremony:

To now what? Hitting up Travis Kelce for tickets to a private box to see Taylor Swift, Patrick Mahomes and Riggs in Amsterdam. 

And to what - or whom - do we owe this new, casual, happy, globetrotting version of Bill Belichick. Do we even need to pose the question? 

Source - Bill Belichick is without a full-time NFL coaching job for the first time since he was fired by the newly transitioned Baltimore Ravens in February 1996, more than five years before his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, 24, was born.

Now that he is away from the sidelines, one insider claims … that Belichick is 'living his best life' despite the near-50-year-age gap between Hudson and Belichick, 72, per the US Sun. …. 

'I don’t know if he is looking to go back to coaching again, I may be wrong, but I think that he is realizing that there is more in life than just football,' per the US Sun. 

You know what Jordon Hudson is? I mean beyond the obvious that she's a cheerleader with a keen interest in philosophy, Deductive Logic and a strong emphasis on special teams? She is Belichick's Manic Pixie Dream Girl:

Wikipedia - A Manic Pixie Dream Girl (MPDG) is a stock character type in fiction, usually depicted as a young woman with eccentric personality quirks who serves as the romantic interest for a male protagonist.

She's the free spirited female who meets a serious, task-oriented man who's fixated on his career and gets him to slow down, open his heart, and see the beauty and poetry of life. To be spontaneous. To carpe his diem all over everybody. To sing and dance like nobody's watching. And above all else, learn to stop and smell the roses, metaphorically and literally

Jordon is the Kristen Dunst to Belichick's Orlando Bloom in Elizabethtown. The Natalie Portman to his Zach Braff in Garden State. The Zooey Deschanel to his Joseph Gordon-Levitt in (500) Days of Summer. The Zooey Deschanel to his Jim Carrey in Yes Man. (There's a lot of Zooey in that MPDG trope.) She's Ramona Flowers, with him as Scott Pilgrim. The major difference is, he's not battling her exes. And, for once, it's not Bill Belichick vs. the World.

For us admirers of Belichick, it's a blessing. This is a man who has earned these past few sacred months to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. And to those of us who are in love with love, who can appreciate an epic romance between two soulmates who seem perfect for each other, this is a joy to behold. 

All that said, let's hope that by next January or so, one of the NFL owners too stupid to have hired him by now will come to their senses and get him back on the sidelines, as God intended. Because this is a man who has already proven he can enjoy the love of a good woman and building pyramids of his enemies' skulls at the same time. So enjoy these precious moments while they last. True, there's more to life than football. But not much more.
