Over the past three seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs have been one of the best teams in the league. They have made two straight Super Bowls while winning one of them. This year, the Chiefs were expected to do some big damage, although it seems as though they are victims of their own success. After a close win against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, the Chiefs have lost two straight games to the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers.

This is not where the Chiefs want to be, especially when you realize that their division rivals, the Broncos, and the Raiders, are both 3-0 to start the season. While speaking to TMZ Sports, tight end Travis Kelce noted that the team is, in fact, concerned. Despite this, Kelce is still confident the team can turn things around.

“You know, we’ve turned the ball over a lot, we missed tackles and it is what it is,” Kelce said. “We have to be better all-around on the football field.” Kelce also noted that the team is well aware of its mistakes and that in the future, they plan on fixing their errors and making the proper adjustments.

Luckily for the Chiefs, they are playing the Philadelphia Eagles today, who are not exactly what you would call a top-tier team. If the Chiefs can get the win today, they will certainly have some momentum on their side going forward.

James Harden is one of the best scorers the NBA has ever seen, and while fans might not like his style, you cannot deny the talent he possesses out on the court. This year, he is looking to win the first NBA title of his career, and based on the Brooklyn Nets roster, it looks like he has a solid chance of getting there, as long as Kyrie Irving is available.

There are various teams that stand in the way of the Nets, including the Los Angeles Lakers, who have a stacked roster of their own. With Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James all on one team, it seems likely that the Lakers and Nets are on track for an NBA Finals showdown.

Recently, Harden was at Nets practice when reporters asked him what he thought of the Lakers. As you can imagine, Harden was complimentary of them, but he made sure to add a caveat to his response.

“They got to figure out the fit. On paper, they look great,” Harden noted. “They got vets, guys with experience. We got the same thing.”

The Lakers have made it clear that it’s championship or bust, and in many ways, the Nets are in the same boat. They should have won it all last year, and now, KD, Harden, and Kyrie will be looking for some revenge.

At this point, everyone knows that Ben Simmons wants to get out of Philadelphia. He has already lost out on $8.25 million and he doesn’t care if he loses out on even more. The NBA star has made it very clear that his relationship with the Sixers is over, and that he wants a trade immediately. Unfortunately for Simmons, that might not happen anytime soon as new reports suggest that interest has come to a screeching halt.

Kurt Herlin of NBC Sports recently came out with a report that says trade talks are “nearly dead” as most teams already have their rosters figured out. For now, it seems like there aren’t any teams out there who feel like Simmons could genuinely improve their squads, which is kind of sad, to say the least.

Per Herlin:

“Meanwhile, real Simmons trade talk between the 76ers and other teams continues to be nearly dead, sources tell NBC Sports. Teams have settled into their rosters for the start of the season. Until a franchise suffers a significant injury, or gets off to a slower-than-expected start (or, maybe faster), there is nothing to change that dynamic and spark a deal.”

Whether or not this report is accurate, remains to be seen as the Sixers continue to try and get the deal that they want. The Sixers have made it clear that they want a massive package for Simmons, although, at this point, his value seems to be shot.

Lamar Odom is a big guy and his frame is certainly conducive to being a good boxer. He has a long reach, and he is big enough that he can take a lot of punishment before being taken down. Having said that, it shouldn’t be surprising to see him using his athletic talents in the ring. The former NBA star is now getting into the boxing world through the Celebrity Boxing promotion. Just a few months ago, he defeated Aaron Carter, and last night, he fought against Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband, Ojani Noa.

In the end, it was Odom who came out victorious after the three rounds. He won via decision and if you watch some of the highlights below, it becomes obvious as to how he won. Noa did not stand a chance as he received a barrage of punches from Odom who looked extremely confident.

Odom has improved a lot since his fight against Carter and it’s clear that he wants to take all of this seriously. After all, Odom is now invested in Celebrity Boxing, and he is committed to taking on more fights in order to grow the brand. This should come as good news to the enterprise, especially since Odom’s boxing skills are sure to attract bigger names in the not-so-distant future.

The retired NBA star is surely going to get another fight soon, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the boxing world. 

Amazon Studios has greenlit a spin-off series for their popular show The Boys, which will be set in a college for superheroes. The official synopsis describes the show as “part college show, part Hunger Games.”

The synopsis reads: “Set at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International), the Untitled The Boys Spinoff is an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities. It’s part college show, part Hunger Games—with all the heart, satire, and raunch of The Boys.”

The Boys creator Eric Kripke described the spin-off as an addition to the “Vought Cinematic Universe.”

“Much like Mork & Mindy spun-off from Happy Days—which is an insane and true fact—our spinoff will exist in the Vought Cinematic Universe, yet have a tone and style all its own,” Kripke said in a statement, according to Uproxx. “It’s our take on a college show, with an ensemble of fascinating, complicated, and sometimes deadly Young Supes. Michele and Tara are stone-cold geniuses, we’re thrilled to have them steer this ship, and grateful to Sony and Amazon for the opportunity. We love this show and can’t wait for you to see it. Also, Baywatch Nights spun-off from Baywatch, and it had vampires. Vampires!”

While the upcoming untitled spin-off has yet to receive a release date, The Boys recently wrapped production on season three.

A man who appears to be Urban Meyer was seen dancing with a younger woman who is not his wife in a video going viral on Twitter, Saturday night. It seems that Meyer stayed in Ohio to go out with friends after the Jaguars’ 24-21 loss to the Bengals. Meyer served as the head coach of Ohio State from 2012 to 2018.

The clip shows Meyer sitting at a bar while a woman grinds up against him. Shelley Meyer, the coach’s wife of 35 years, did not appear present.

Meyer is in the midst of a tough first season in Jacksonville, having started the year 0-4. 

“It’s devastating. Heartbreaking,” Meyer said after Thursday’s loss to the Bengals. “These guys. Usually, I’m not wrong about stuff like that. I just see a good team in there. I see good guys. I see good hearts. I see guys that work, and I told them I’m not wrong. I’m not wrong about that stuff.”

He added: “This team’s going to win some games.”

Predictably, in response to Meyer’s troubles and the recent viral video, fans on Twitter had a field day cracking jokes at the head coach’s expense.

Scarlett Johansson and Disney have reached a mutual agreement that will end the legendary actress’ lawsuit against the company regarding payment for her role in Black Widow. Terms of the agreement were not made public.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team,” she said. “I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come.”

Disney’s chairman of Studios Content, Alan Bergman, said that the company still appreciates Johansson’s “contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney’s ‘Tower of Terror.'”

Johannson originally filed the lawsuit because she felt that the company intentionally did not show the film in theaters in order to focus on Disney+ subscriptions, affecting Johansson, whose payment varied based on the film’s success at the box office.

Earlier this week, Jamie Lee Curtis spoke with Entertainment Tonight regarding the importance of standing with Johansson during the lawsuit: “I was asked to write about her in Time Magazine, I have always thought she was cool and I think what she’s doing and saying in this lawsuit is important. And women who speak up are called ‘bitches’ and ‘strident’ and men who speak up are called ‘heroes.’ So I’m going to stand with the women.”

Meek Mill’s newest album Expensive Pain is expected to move 85,000 to 95,000 units in its first week since release, according to new data from HitsDailyDouble. Despite the respectable showing, it has a tough battle to reach the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart with Drake’s Certified Lover Boy still dominating the airways.

Mill’s new project is assisted by features from a star-studded group of artists including Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Lil Baby, ASAP Ferg, and more.

Speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, he revealed that he came up with the title while recording with Uzi.

“I actually said expensive pain on a song with Uzi when we was in a booth rapping. I said, ‘You ain’t rich, your stash can’t pay my drug bill,’” he explained. “Basically we smoke a lot of weed and stuff like that, and I was playing it for Brent Faiyaz one day in the studio, he heard me say that, he was like, ‘That bar hot.’ He was like, ‘That’s a fire word, expensive pain.’ He was like, ‘That should be an album title.’ And I start thinking about it and then I stuck with it.”

The project is expected to undersell Mill’s 2018 record, Championships, which moved 229,000 units.

Lil Wayne and Rich the Kid’s collaborative album, Trust Fund Babies, trails Mill with an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 units by week’s end.

Tory Lanez traveled down to the southern border in Texas to help Haitian migrants who have limited supplies and many of whom are being deported by the U.S. government. Lanez described the conditions as “Heartbreaking” in a tweet, Saturday night.

“Truly heartbreaking to see all of the Hatian [sic] migrants having to live in the conditions they were in … today I bought 50,000 $ worth of Essentials Products + Clothes for em ! Its not a game !! 2 things they really need are TENTS and TARPS,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Contact [email protected] to help now,” he added.

Many of the migrants have been traveling throughout South America in the decade following the 2010 earthquake. Outside of Del Rio, Texas, a camp populated by an estimated 15,000 refugees formed at a bridge.

Lanez’s arrival comes weeks after a viral video showed a U.S. border patrol agent whipping migrants while riding on horseback and shouting obscenities.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the incident “horrific.“

“I have seen some of the footage. I don’t have the full context. I can’t imagine what context would make that appropriate, but I don’t have additional details,” she told reporters at the time. “I don’t think anyone seeing that footage would think it’s acceptable or appropriate.”
