Ja Morant Will Not be Charged by Colorado Authorities, Will Miss Next 4 Games

Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant will not face criminal charges after he was seen on Instagram Live flashing a gun in a strip club. Glendale, Colorado, PD announced the decision not to pursue charges.

Following the announcement from local authorities, the Grizzlies announced Morant would miss at least four additional games. The earliest he could possibly return now is against the San Antonio Spurs on March 17. In between, the Warriors will face the Golden State Warriors, the Dallas Mavericks on a home and home, and make a trip to play the Miami HEAT.

Glendale police confirm the incident occurred at Shotgun Willie’s strip club after a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, but they did not have enough evidence to charge a crime. In part, the statement reads:

“GPD was not able to determine that probable cause existed for the filing of any charges. In this case, it should be noted that on the night in question the GPD did not receive any calls for service at the nightclub regarding a weapon of any type. Subsequently, no disturbances were reported, and no citizens or patrons of the club came forward to make a complaint. The investigation also concluded that no one was threatened or menaced with the firearm and in fact no firearm was ever located.”

Deion Sanders Wants Colorado Band To Adopt HBCU Sound & Style

by

Deion Sanders recently met with the Colorado Buffaloes’ band director to adopt a style more akin to HBCUs. Moreover, many expressed anger and disappointment when Sanders made the call to step down as coach of a historically black university. However, it seems he wants to inject that experience into his current tenure coaching a new football team. Furthermore, Jackson State fans and players were familiar with his line of “Now give me my theme music” at the end of his pregame speech. Now, he suggested that Colorado adopt some of that same sound both on and off the field to boost morale.

“At HBCUs, it’s kind of traditional that the bands kind of coincides,” he expressed in a YouTube video from Well Off Media. “I know it’s a difference, but it don’t have to be. We like one big happy family. We’re probably gonna have a new theme song that I want you guys to get and it’s not hard. And I think you can knock it out of the park. It’ll take it to a whole new level when the band is able to execute it. That’s going to be good. Really, really good.”

Moreover, the NFL star’s new theme would reportedly replace “Here I Go” by rapper Mystikal, although it’s unclear if it will still be incorporated. While he asked for the new music to be played for the group in the video, the audio was removed from the clip. Still, it might not be enough to distract from current hot water he’s in concerning his comments on recruiting. In particular, people thought his discrimination in picking quarterbacks versus defensive players was close-minded.

“Well, we have different attributes,” he remarked on the Rich Eisen Show. “Smart, tough, fast, disciplined with character. Now, quarterbacks are different. We want mother, father. Dual parent. We want that kid to be 3.5 [GPA] and up. Because he has to be smart. Not bad decisions off the field, at all. Because he has to be a leader of men. Defensive linemen is totally opposite. Single mama, trying to get it, he’s on free lunch. I’m talking about just trying to make it. He’s trying to rescue mama. Like mama barely made the flight. And I want him to just go get it.“ As many pointed out, this narrative is unfortunately common among coaches. Regardless of his missteps, check out the full video above and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Deion Sanders.

by

Lil Wayne is one of the biggest hip-hop artists in the entire world. Overall, he is in a lot of people’s top 5s, and he will continue to be for decades. To this day, Wayne remains one of the most respected artists ever, and it has afforded him some cool opportunities. From meeting athletes to billionaires, Lil Wayne has truly seen and done it all. Moreover, he is connected with tons of athletes, who have been able to show him the behind-the-scenes version of what sports can be like.

As it turns out, the latest person to do this for Wayne was none other than Deion Sanders. Over the last few months, Coach Prime has been a huge story around college football. Following his departure from Jackson State, Sanders signed on with Colorado. Moving forward, he is expected to bring this team back to its glory years. Although this is going to be very difficult, Sanders seems up to the task. In fact, with Coach Prime going to Colorado, numerous recruits are following suit. Consequently, this team could be in for an amazing season.

Lil Wayne Gets Blown Away

As it pertains to Wayne, he got to visit Sanders at the University of Colorado facility. College football programs oftentimes have facilities that are more impressive than some NFL squads. In the video above, you can see just how impressed Wayne was with what he was seeing. “Oh, this the locker room? This the fucking locker room? C’mon man!” Wayne exclaimed. “It’ll be hard for a n-gga to feel bad after a loss up in here. I’m telling you that right now.” As you can also tell, Sanders was very happy with Wayne’s reaction. Sanders is doing his best to build something great at Colorado, and there is no doubt that the players will enjoy where they’re spending most of their time.

Overall, building a football program is not easy. However, Sanders did a great job doing so over at Jackson State. Now, he just has to go out and do it all over again at a school that has a few more resources. If he keeps going down this path, Colorado should be on pace for a phenomenal campaign.
