Jordon Hudson has her suspicions about why Chris Simms was fired from NBC’s Football Night in America, and it involves the Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini scandal.
“We’re not talking about this? Why not, @ProFootballTalk?” Hudson, 25, wrote via X on Tuesday, April 28.
Her post came above a clip of Simms, 45, speaking to cohost Mike Florio on PFT Live earlier this month. In the minute-long video, Simms appears to be about to disclose what other NFL coaches and their wives have told him about Vrabel, 50, and Russini, 43.
Hudson also posted a screenshot from boyfriend Bill Belichick’s infamous CBS interview in which she shut down a question about how the couple met. The closed caption on the screenshot captured her saying, “We’re not talking about this.”
“I’d shoot you straight,” Simms said in the video that Hudson shared on Tuesday. “These are things I’ve been texting about with my friends in the coaching world. Even their wives are involved in the conversation as well.”
Apparently sensing trouble, Florio, 60, interrupted him.
“Stay on target,” Florio said, quoting the original Star Wars movie.
He added, “There’s a lot there and there’s only so much that is reported and known.”
Simms then humorously asked, ”In Star Wars do they have a thing called shut up and just let the person talk?”
Simms opened up about losing his NBC football gameday job on the Monday, April 27 episode of PFT Live, frankly telling Florio, “I’m not on the show anymore, Mike.”
”I don’t know if anyone told you,” he continued. “I will not be part of Football Night in America. They told me that last week, so that’s just going to be a different aspect. That hurt because I do love it.”
NBC is in the midst of a shakeup with its Football Night in America coverage, having already cut ties with former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy and adding former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Cohosts Rodney Harrison and Jac Collinsworth’s jobs are also in jeopardy, according to a report from The Athletic.

Tomlin, 54, made his NBC debut on Sunday, April 26.
“I just thought it’d be a great way to stay connected to the game and the awesome people in it,” he said on the air. “I love to talk football, and so that’s just an exciting component for me. I gotta admit, though, it’s going to be some anxiety about stepping into a new space, but good anxiety.”
He continued, “And lastly, I just thought it would be awesome to share insight with fellow football lovers…It’s good to be uncomfortable, to grow, to associate it with that. But man, I’m fired up about it.”
