AirBnB owners share shock of finding shirtless Bill Belichick on their doorbell camera: 'Creepy old guy'
Bill Belichick went viral in November 2023 after appearing shirtless on doorbell camera footage outside a home. The video resurfaced shortly after rumors of Belichick's later confirmed relationship with Jordon Hudson began. Reports originally stated that the home belonged to Hudson. But according to Pablo Torre, it was actually an AirBnB in Winthrop, Mass., and he had the couple who owned the home on his show to speak about the shock when they realized that the eight-time Super Bowl champion was on their doorstep. "We saw the Ring video in the morning, not knowing who this was," the woman, who opted to stay anonymous, said, "but it was an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before." The woman's husband then butted in, bringing up his wife's concerns about this mysterious man. "She's said, 'She's with this creepy old guy.' She thought her relative or a drug dealer was the first thing because of the age discrepancy. Remember you went, 'Must be a freaking coke dealer.' I was like, 'What? Come on. "So that was her first reaction. And then I start looking [and] I'm like, 'That does look like Belichick!'" The owners of the home said Hudson had booked the stay. They added they had invited her to play golf, and that she had replied that she preferred a "men's senior shaft." "I didn't think anything of it at the time," the woman said. Belichick and Hudson's relationship was confirmed, but reports have said they began dating in early 2022. It's been rumored that they met on an airplane the year before. Hudson recently ripped Torre for "factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory and targeted" reporting. Torre previously reported that Hudson had been banned from the University of North Carolina football complex earlier in May. However, the university released a statement denying that report shortly after Torre's report came out. The 73-year-old and 24-year-old made their relationship public last year. And Hudson gained more notoriety last month when she interrupted a CBS interview with Belichick.

How the Barter System Helped Cut Costs on Two Home Projects
For years, Corey Fitch dreamed about building a second home in Washington's Methow Valley, where he could spend time with family and friends while indulging in mountain biking and cross-country skiing. But even for him, the founder of BuiltWell, a Seattle-based home-building company with a focus on sustainability, the cost of construction was a significant hurdle. Mr. Fitch, 45, and his wife, Ashley Newman, 40, the owner of Union Pilates in Seattle, routinely browsed real estate listings while visiting friends in the Methow Valley, but the timing never seemed right to make such a big investment. When the pandemic struck in 2020, however, Ms. Newman was pregnant with their daughter, Luna, now 4, and Mr. Fitch noticed a sudden uptick in interest in Methow Valley real estate. Eager to get a foothold in the region before prices spiked, they decided it was time to buy. They had already identified a three-acre lot in the town of Winthrop as their favorite, and bought it for $90,000. After closing that summer, Mr. Fitch began putting together a budget to build a cabin, figuring that the services of an architect would be about 12 to 15 percent of the total cost. When he mused about the challenges of building on a tight budget with his friend Ben Humphrey, a partner at Seattle-based Linework Architecture, Mr. Humphrey told Mr. Fitch that he faced problems of his own while trying to remodel and expand his family's house in Seattle. 'I had been working with a contractor who was really slow to respond and slow to put together pricing,' Mr. Humphrey said. 'And I started to see the numbers coalesce into a price that we just couldn't afford.' That's when Mr. Fitch proposed a very old-fashioned arrangement: They could barter their services to help each other. 'I was just like, 'Could you put together a quick-and-dirty builder set for me, and I'll be your phone-a-friend on your remodel?'' Mr. Fitch said. To Mr. Humphrey, it sounded like a good deal. 'Corey gave me his contacts and helped me assemble both the budget and the team that would ultimately execute the work,' on his house in Seattle, Mr. Humphrey said. 'I was the superintendent of the job,' which saved him about $250,000. In return, Mr. Humphrey drew up plans for Mr. Fitch's dream cabin. 'Corey would come over with a six-pack of beer, and I had this little Tuff Shed where we would meet,' Mr. Humphrey said. 'We just made decisions while modeling the house in 3-D.' Within a few months, they had a complete set of drawings for a 1,250-square-foot cabin with a high ceiling that provided space for two upstairs lofts connected by a bridge, as well as a building permit to start construction. Aiming to keep costs to a minimum, now and in the future, the cabin is designed with durable materials and airtight insulation for energy efficiency. The home is clad in thermally modified wood siding, which is hard-wearing and doesn't require paint, and topped by a standing seam metal roof. Inside, it has a concrete floor — created by smoothing the top of the slab — cabinets and furniture made from plywood, and oxidized steel details. For kitchen cabinets, Mr. Fitch sourced plywood with a custom Douglas fir veneer as the top layer. Elsewhere, like on the sides of the bridge, a built-in sleeping nook and the headboard in the primary bedroom, he used a more common grade of plywood and simply turned the best-looking side out into the room. The ground floor includes a combined living room and kitchen with a wood stove, the primary suite, a second bedroom and a generous mudroom with open lockers and an integrated bench for easy boot changes. Upstairs, one loft space is a playroom and Pilates studio; the other is a combination media room and guest bedroom. Mr. Fitch splurged on a few details, including windows and sliding glass doors from Fleetwood 'because they're just bombproof,' Mr. Fitch said, no matter how extreme the weather gets. He also had Alpine Welding & Equipment, a local metalwork shop, make custom steel elements including a handrail for the stairs, the base of a kitchen island he topped with butcher block and a swing-arm light fixture above the dining table. Construction was complete in October 2022 at a cost of about $600,000, after the bartered deal helped him save nearly $100,000. 'It was a leap of faith but it feels transformative for our family,' Mr. Fitch said. 'Every time we show up, we enter a different head space.' The benefits for Mr. Humphrey didn't end with having Mr. Fitch help out on his own construction project, either. He has since become a fixture at the house he helped Mr. Fitch design. 'We've been there with Corey and his family, and we've been there with just our family,' Mr. Humphrey said. 'And staying there has given us the taste we needed to start exploring whether we should do the same thing.' If he does eventually decide to build his own home in the Methow Valley, at least one thing is for certain: he knows exactly the right contractor to call for help.

Phillips tosses complete game shutout as USC Upstate defeats Winthrop 7-0 in Big South Tournament
HIGH POINT, N.C. (USC Upstate SID) – Beginning its quest for a Big South Tournament championship, USC Upstate baseball opened the 2025 iteration of the event with a statement as Amp Phillips turned in the league's first nine-inning complete game shutout of the season, leading the Spartans to a 7-0 quarterfinal over No. 5 seed Winthrop. Setting the tone, the redshirt sophomore right-handed pitcher from Lancaster, S.C., proved why he was named the Big South Newcomer of the Year, retiring the first seven batters he faced and permitting just five baserunners, one of which reached scoring position, advancing no further than second base. He finished the afternoon scattering four hits while striking out five in his first career complete game. Backing the stellar pitching performance, Upstate launched four home runs, including three homers to lead off innings. Redshirt freshman leftfielder Henry Zenor, sophomore shortstop Vance Sheahan, redshirt sophomore centerfielder Scott Newman, and junior second baseman Gage Griggs hit long balls for the Spartans with Zenor, Sheahan, and Griggs leading off innings. Game InformationScore: No. 1 USC Upstate 7; No. 5 Winthrop 0Records: USC Upstate (34-23; 19-5 Big South); Winthrop (30-28; 13-11 Big South)Location: Truist Point | High Point, N.C. How It Happened B1: Stepping to the plate as Upstate's leadoff batter in the home half of the first, Henry Zenor launched a hanging 3-2 breaking ball over the wall and right, delivering an early 1-0 lead. B2: Following a leadoff double from Preston Lucas, the Spartans employed a pair of sacrifices to push across their second tally. A sac bunt from Gage Griggs moved Lucas to third with a sac fly from Jake Armsey scoring the run. B6: Doubling its lead, Upstate used a pair of solo shots in the sixth, tacking on two more. Leading off the inning, Vance Sheahan launched one into the seats in left before Scott Newman launched one well past the wall in left-center. B7: Hitting another 'leadoff' homer for the Spartans, Gage Griggs unloaded on a 1-0 pitch as his solo homer began a two-run frame. A sac fly from Zenor pushed across Armsey to tally Upstate's sixth run. B8: Slapping a single into leftfield, Lucas recorded an RBI as his base hit scored Johnny Sweeney from second, capping the day's scoring. Notable Earning the Big South's first nine-inning complete game shutout of the season, Amp Phillips' outing Thursday in Upstate's Big South Tournament opener marked the first complete-game shutout in the tournament since Gardner-Webb's Joe Simone against UNC Asheville on May 25, 2022. Earning the team's 34th victory of the season, Upstate's win total ties head coach Kane Sweeney for the winningest first-year head coach in program history, equalling the 1986 win total of John Daurity. Hitting a solo shot in the sixth inning, Vance Sheahan improved his reached base streak to 44 games, extending the longest-known streak in the program's Division I era (2007-pres.). Up Next for the SpartansFollowing its Big South Tournament opener, USC Upstate returns to action Friday morning as play at the event continues.
