Tua Tagovailoa Joins Darius Rucker On Stage In Las Vegas for ‘Wagon Wheel’ As Daniel Jones Cheers Him On

Tua Tagovailoa and Darius Rucker became the musical pairing we never knew we needed on Friday night as the Dolphins’ quarterback joined Rucker on stage to play guitar and sing Rucker’s hit “Wagon Wheel”.

Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones cheered Tagovailoa and Rucker on excitedly as he sang (or lip-synced) along from the Las Vegas crowd.

For Rucker, a longtime Miami Dolphins fan, to bring Tagavailoa on stage was not a surprise. Tagavailoa seemed to know what he was doing on the guitar and sounded just fine imploring the crowd to “rock me mama like the wind and the rain” along with Rucker.

Perhaps the only surprise was that he didn’t bring Tagavailoa up for a rendition of his hit with Hootie and the Blowfish, “I Only Want To Be With You” since its lyrics directly reference the Dolphins. Although maybe Rucker didn’t want the Dolphins’ star quarterback to have to sing about the Dolphins making him cry.

This isn’t Jones’ first time singing “Wagon Wheel”, either, even if it was just from the crowd this time.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love “Wagon Wheel” and those who hate it. Jones and Tagovailoa are clearly in the former camp, and Jones had the right idea in attempting Rucker’s sing-a-long hit before he attempted T-Pain.

Daniel Jones Suffers Season-Ending Torn ACL Injury, New York Giants Fall To 2-7

For most of this last decade, the New York Giants have been stuck in mediocrity. That was until just last season. Led by their number eight overall pick from 2019, Daniel Jones, they went 9-7-1 and nabbed a wild card spot. In fact, they even grabbed a fairly stunning victory against the Minnesota Vikings on the road. They would eventually fall to the Eagles in the Divisional Round. Nonetheless, it was still a successful season with their first-year head coach Brian Daboll. However, things have gone south for Jones and the Giants this season.

Somehow, Jones has regressed to an extent and they are now 2-7 on the year after falling to the Las Vegas Raiders who are also going nowhere. The final score was 30-6, and even though the visiting team still might not have won, it might have been closer if Jones played the whole way. Right at the beginning of the second quarter, the Duke product crumbled to the turf on a contactless injury.

Daniel Jones Season Ended On This Play: Watch

In sports, when a player goes down without anyone near him, you immediately fear the worst. Unfortunately, that did happen as multiple reports, including TMZ Sports, came out that Daniel Jones suffered a torn ACL. With that one final blow for Giants fans, they seem to have a lot more questions to answer than expected this upcoming offseason. In addition, Jones just inked a four-year $160 million dollar deal for his efforts just last season. The only two quarterbacks on the roster are a banged-up Tyrod Taylor and undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. The latter stepped into to finish the game and he will shoulder the load until Taylor returns.

What are your initial thoughts on Daniel Jones tearing his ACL against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, November 5? Do you think the Giants regret paying Jones all of that money? Are they the most directionless franchise in the NFL right now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Micah Parsons Puts The Giants On Blast After 40-0 Loss

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parson has put the New York Giants on blast after helping the Cowboys steamroll the Giants 40-0 this past weekend. “It’s called protecting your guy — something I thought the Giants should have done. I don’t think Daniel Jones should have been in that game in the fourth quarter. I thought they should have protected him and pulled him out. Barring injury, their season would be over without Daniel Jones,” Parsons said on his podcast.

The Cowboys got to Jones seven times during the game, with Parsons himself recording a sack and two QB hits. Despite talking a big game through the offseason about how the Giants had turned a corner last season, the team was completely buried in Week 1. “I do not agree with Daniel Jones staying out there until that last drive, I thought that was wrong. I thought that was deceiving. That’s your franchise quarterback, and he’s out there with a backup offensive line still getting sacked and hit. I just didn’t understand. Maybe it was a prove-it moment by the Giants — I have no idea — a learning lesson, who knows. But I thought Daniel Jones should have got pulled out,” Parsons added.

Giants’ Loss – Blip On The Radar Or Seasonal Foreshadowing?

The 40-0 loss was the worst season-opening loss in Giants history. However, was it just a blip on the radar? After all, a lot of teams struggled in week one. The Bills and Bengals lost despite being Super Bowl contenders. Meanwhile, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, despite the Eagles winning, lamented a sloppy performance and blamed his decision not to play starters more during the preseason. Sure, it was a very bad loss for the Giants. However, maybe it was just the Week 1 silly season playing out.

Or maybe it’s a sign of a rough season for the Giants. While they should get a reprieve against the Cardinals in Week 2, the Giants have one of the rougher starts to the season. The Niners, Seahawks, Dolphins, and Bills are all on the schedule. That’s not only a rough schedule, it’s also a great bellwether as to whether the Giants’ 2022 season was a fluke. Giants fans better pray that it wasn’t. After all, many of the team’s key figures are locked into long-term deals. Be sure to follow HotNewHipHop for all the latest sports news.
