Cardinals Tease Return Of Kyler Murray

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Arizona Cardinals have teased the return of starting quarterback Kyler Murray on social media. The post shows Murray stood within a mockup of a music platform, with the track playing listed as “I’m Back” by “K.1.”. Murray has been sidelined by injury since December 2022. In his absence, the Cardinals have struggled behind the quarterback play of Joshua Dobbs, who was recently traded to the Vikings. Murray is expected to start against the Falcons this weekend.

Despite this, head coach Jonathan Gannon made no assertions that the only issue for 1-8 Cardinals was at QB. “We’ve got to play clean football in all three phases. We’ve got to do our job on defense and special teams. It doesn’t matter who is playing quarterback,” Gannon told reporters. Last week was an especially low point for the team. They lost 27-0 to the Browns and managed just 58 yards of offense behind rookie Clayton Tune.

Falcons Looking To Spoil Murray’s Return

However, the Falcons aren’t exactly flying high either. 4-5 on the season, Atlanta have lost five of their last seven and have dropped winnable games in back-to-back weeks. “We’re not going to sugarcoat it. You can be frustrated. You can be mad. You’re going to feel all the emotions by it. But we have to go do something about it. As bad as it feels — nobody’s celebrating being 4-5 — but the reality is when you have perspective, after we get these corrections and assess everything, we do still control our own destiny. We have half a season,” head coach Arthur Smith said.

Murray’s counterpart for Atlanta will be veteran Taylor Heinicke, who remains QB1 for the Falcons. However, Heinicke spoke about doing his best to support benched sophomore Desmond Ridder. “Me and Des have talked privately. I’ve told him everything he’s been doing since he was starting, running the meetings, keep doing. Everything. I think that’s going to help him in the long run. He has been great, the same Des. It speaks to his character,” Heinicke said.

Stephen A. Smith Trolls Dallas Cowboys After Brutal Cardinals Loss

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Stephen A. Smith poked fun at the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, after the team’s shocking loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He joked that they’re “the gift that keeps on giving” as he’s continued to doubt their legitimacy as a contender over the years. In a post on social media, he shared a video of himself watching the game while hysterically laughing.

“I keep trying to tell y’all. You don’t wanna listen,” he said, while continuing to mock Cowboys fans for believing their squad to be the best in the NFL. The latest loss comes after a dominant start for Dallas, who beat the New York Giants 40-0 and the New York Jets 30-10.

As for Sunday’s loss, Dak Prescott described it as “humbling” while speaking with the media afterward. “Y’all put us on top of the world,” he said. “We knew who we are. In that same sense, I’m sure the media got what it wanted. For us, there hadn’t been but one undefeated team. It sucks, it’s humbling, but to say it’s a wake-up call, we knew we had a lot of adversity and we just didn’t get it done. It just goes back to myself, the offense, in the red zone. We get better there, we win this game. But we’ve got to fix that area, period.” Prescott and the Cowboys were just 1 of 5 in the red zone throughout the game.

Head coach Mike McCarthy added: “That’s the challenge of this league, you know, every game is so unique to the specific matchups and so forth. This has been a rough week on a lot of fronts. I think the amount of adversity you go through, your preparation process, and we didn’t have enough today. The discipline and the penalties. We have to learn from this. It’s going to be an every-week challenge.” The result also comes after the Cowboys lost star cornerback Trevon Diggs for the season.

DeAndre Hopkins Cut Sparks Multi-Team Speculation

May 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The DeAndre Hopkins saga has written its newest chapter. After months of speculation that the Cardinals could trade or otherwise offload the veteran wide receiver, the Cardinals finally cut him. As a result, the Cardinals will eat $22.9 million in dead cap and Hopkins will become an unrestricted free agent. Hopkins had initially missed the start of the Cardinals’ OTAs as his status remained in limbo.

After serving a six-game suspension for violating the league’s PED policy, Hopkins played in nine games last season. He racked up 757 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Cardinals went 4-13. He was traded to the Cardinals in 2020 by the Texans. In three seasons with the Cardinals, he recorded 2696 yards and 17 touchdowns. However, he will now be able to pursue the team of his choice.

Multiple Teams Interested In Hopkins

Hopkins’ sudden free agency has sparked a lot of interest around the league. Among the teams interested are the Bills, Patriots, and Ravens. Hopkins, who last rushed for 1000 yards in 2020, would find very different fortunes. He could be the final piece the Bills need in their near-Sisyphean quest to reach a Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Hopkins would bring a veteran calm to somewhat-embattled Mac Jones. However, the Ravens are an intriguing prospect given their already very full receiver room.

Meanwhile, social media has also floated the possibility of the Chiefs making a play for the veteran wideout. Like the Ravens, the Chiefs have a very full receiver room. However, the Chiefs are missing that X-factor standout downfield. As for the Cardinals, they will now roll with Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore, and 2023 third-round draft pick Michael Wilson. Recently, Hopkins gave an interview in which he listed the top quarterbacks he would like to play under. At the top of that list was the Bills’ Josh Allen as well as the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts. Where do you think Hopkins will land? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Jordan MVP “Cardinal” Officially Unveiled

May 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One shoe that has seemingly been taking the internet by storm is none other than the Jordan MVP. Overall, this is a hybrid shoe that combines the three sneakers Michael Jordan won his first three NBA titles in. Moreover, Jordan also won three Finals MVPs during this time, hence the name of the shoe. Although hybrid sneakers can sometimes get a bad rap, it is very clear that this new model has a lot going for it. Ultimately, it is a shoe that would thrive in the 90s.

Consequently, Jumpman has brought out a ton of 90s-themed colorways for this model. For instance, you can find a lot of colorways that we’ve already seen on shoes like the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 7. Following up the Air Jordan 7 aesthetic, we have this “Cardinal” color scheme, below. The Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” is an iconic shoe, and it was a matter of time before Jumpman delivered something like this. In the official images, you can see the fantastic job Jumpman does here.

“Cardinal” Jordan MVP

Firstly, the sneaker is covered in some white leather. This mimics the original “Cardinal” colorway, so it works out well. Moreover, this Jordan MVP has some nice red all around the upper including the tongue and the back heel tab. There is also some red and white on the midsole. Lastly, we get gold, red, and black on the Air Jordan 8-inspired overlay near the back heel. This gold is also found on the inner lining of the shoe.

Just like the other Jordan MVP colorways we have reported on, this shoe does not yet have a release date. However, we do know that this shoe will be coming out at a price of $165 USD. For some, this might be steep, although these are the prices we have come to expect. Let us know what you think of this sneaker, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. We will be sure to bring you the biggest releases from the biggest brands.
