Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe Lose It Over Bill Belichick’s Beach Yoga Pictures
When UNC head football coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson walk into a room, heads turn. But when the 24-year-old former cheerleader posts photos of the two of them performing yoga acrobatics on a beach in Jupiter, Florida, hilarity ensues. Especially if you’re talking about it on ESPN.
On Monday’s episode of First Take, co-host Molly Qerim did her best to maintain control and decorum when it came to discussing the photos, which went viral over the weekend. In fact, Qerim seemed rather unimpressed by the 72-year-old’s leg strength, saying it looked like the couple was playing “airplane.”

“That’s like a game you do with a little kid, where they balance on your legs,” Qerim shared. “Why are you acting like that takes a lot of strength to lay on your back with your legs up?”
For his part, co-host Stephen A. Smith could barely breathe he was laughing so hard—and Shannon Sharpe was right there with him.
“MOLLY, HE’S 73!,” Smith shot back. While he aged Belichick up a year, it doesn’t really matter. “What is wrong with Molly?” Smith demanded to know of his co-host.
As amusing as he found the whole incident, Smith made it clear that he was legitimately envious of Belichick’s airplane skills. “Whatever he’s on, keep taking it,” Smith said. “He’s on something though. He’s on something. That ain’t naturale. I didn’t say natural; I say naturale. He’s taking something. I’m not mad at him at all. I want to know what it is."

At this point, Qerim asked if she could simply remove herself from the segment, but Sharpe wasn’t letting her off that easy. “Wouldn’t you want to go to Sag Harbor [and] have your partner have you in the air [like that]? I mean, that’s great. Who wouldn’t want to do that, Molly?”
Qerim still wasn’t buying that a holding another human being up with your legs was a massive achievement for a septuagenarian, so Sharpe laid it out for her in one simple sentence: “Hey, at 73, if you see me with my legs up like that, call the paramedics."
