Jalen Hurts Compared To Michael Jordan

by

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have been fantastic this season. At one point, Hurts was looking like the frontrunner for MVP. Now, however, that has been taken over by Patrick Mahomes. Regardless, Hurts is now a solid top-five QB in the entire NFL.

On Sunday, he will take on the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. A place in the Super Bowl is currently on the line, and Hurts knows what is at stake. Ahead of this game, Hurts is getting a huge showing of confidence from his head coach, Nick Sirianni.

Jalen Hurts Praised

While speaking to ESPN, Sirianni made the claim that Hurts is a lot like Michael Jordan. From his talent to his leadership, Hurts has impressed the whole team. Sirianni knows it is a wild comparison, however, he was adamant that it’s true.

“I know this is high praise, but to have him out there is like having–I shouldn’t even go there–it’s like having Michael Jordan out there,” Sirianni said. “He’s your leader. He’s your guy. Hopefully, that’s the biggest respect I can pay to him, comparing his ability to being on the field to a Michael Jordan type. This guy leads. He brings this calmness to the entire team. He plays great football. He’s as tough as they come. To me, nobody has played any better football than him this year.”

Patrick Mahomes Hints At Playing Status

by

Patrick Mahomes gave the Kansas City Chiefs a huge scare on Saturday in the Divisional Round. During the first half, Mahomes went down with a high ankle sprain. With the score fairly close, Chad Henne had to come into the game. Subsequently, the backup QB scored a touchdown before Mahomes came back.

Overall, it was a scary time for Chiefs fans as it felt like their season was over. Mahomes is likely going to win MVP this season, and they need him if they want to beat the Bengals in the AFC Championship game. Unfortunately, he has a high ankle sprain which means his status for Sunday is up in the air.

Patrick Mahomes Speaks

Since Saturday, many have tried to claim that Mahomes will not play against the Bengals. This is because high ankle sprains are almost impossible to come back from that soon. However, many are forgetting that Mahomes has access to some of the best medications in the world.

In fact, Mahomes himself is hinting that he is a lock for Sunday’s game. While taking to Instagram last night, Mahomes posted a video of himself with the caption “see you Sunday, Chiefs Kingdom.” This is great news for the Chiefs who are going to be in the fight of their lives against a hungry Bengals squad.

As many Chiefs fans already know, the Bengals have defeated the Chiefs three times in the last calendar year. Overall, the Chiefs do not play well against Cincinnati, and they need to change that if they want to make an appearance in this year’s Super Bowl.

Let us know what you think of the Chiefs’ chances, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Packers Set Aaron Rodgers Trade Price

by

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers had a difficult season. Overall, they failed to make the playoffs and at times, it felt like Rodgers was done with the Packers organization. After all, he has threatened to leave the team three offseasons in a row.

Now, Rodgers is going into the offseason with some uncertainty. He could either stay and ride it out another year or he could just demand a trade. Consequently, the Green Bay Packers are already gearing up for any potential deals. Rodgers is a legendary QB, and the Packers know they can get a lot for him.

Aaron Rodgers Asking Price

According to Peter King, the Packers absolutely want to get two first-round picks for Rodgers. Overall, that is going to be the bare minimum, Furthermore, one would have to assume that at least one solid player would have to be part of the deal, as well.

Moreover, there are plenty of teams that could use Rodgers. One such franchise is the New York Jets. They got horrible quarterback play this past season and the Jets have shown interesting in Rodgers. However, there is no telling whether or not Rodgers would accept a trade to New York.

The Jets are a team that is certainly on the up and up. This past season, they were just a few games away from the postseason. The fanbase is clamoring for a good quarterback, and Rodgers could prove to be that guy. Although considering he is a high-level player, it is going to be up to him as to whether or not a deal will get done.

This is a developing story so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the NFL. As always, let us know where you think Rodgers should go, in the comments below.

by

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are done for the season. After a bad loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Brady is now at home doing his Let’s Go! Podcast. That said, many are wondering whether or not he will call it quits. Overall, he is 45 years old and was clearly in decline this year.

Furthermore, it was reportedly made clear to his teammates that he would not return to the Bucs. However, there is a possibility that he comes back on another team, like the Las Vegas Raiders. No matter what, there will be a ton of fanfare surrounding this upcoming decision.

Tom Brady Speaks

As it turns out, Brady is quite annoyed when it comes to these upcoming decisions. Everyone seems to be asking him about his plans, and for now, he has no idea what he will do. In fact, he almost snapped at Jim Gray during the latest episode of his podcast.

“If I knew what I was going to f—ing do I would’ve already f—ing done it. I’m taking it a day at a time. I appreciate you asking. Thank you,” he said on the podcast. Needless to say, he doesn’t like being pestered for an answer, especially just one week following the end of his season.

Joe Buck Expertly Claps Back At Hater

by

Joe Buck is one of the more polarizing voices when it comes to football commentary. He is an iconic voice who currently broadcasts for ESPN alongside Troy Aikman. However, some people feel like he doesn’t have the most energetic calls.

Either way, Buck is getting paid a lot of money to broadcast football games, and fans will just have to deal with it. Besides, there is a good amount of people out there who love his work. Not to mention, he and Aikman have great chemistry.

Unfortunately, when people don’t like Buck’s work, they let him know about it. For instance, in the tweet down below, Buck noted how one fan asked him if he was doing the Cowboys game last night. Of course, this was a dumb question considering he was in St-Louis when he was asked this. Unfortunately, this led to one hater responding with “No one said this to you. Finally, I can watch NFL and MLB playoff games with the sound on.”

Joe Buck Reacts

Buck took the insult in stride as he immediately levied a pretty amazing response. As you can see, he decided to respond with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

“I’m happy for you and even more so for the people who were in that silent room with you all those years,” Buck wrote. “Listening to you and your thoughts. And your worries. And what you would do as manager or coach. Rejoice friends of Rick Banks. Rejoice! Turn that sound on – LOUD!!!”

ESPN won’t be doing any more games for the rest of the season, although Buck is probably enjoying the time off. After all, the Network is already paying him millions of dollars per year for his services.

Jerry Jones Reveals Mike McCarthy’s Fate After Cowboys Loss

by

Jerry Jones is one of the most vocal owners in all of professional sports. Having said that, he is usually very conservative when it comes to making big moves. Overall, he has a difficult time getting rid of head coaches. Furthermore, he doesn’t like moving on from franchise quarterbacks.

This has proven to be an issue for the franchise as they haven’t had much success in over 25 years. Their last Super Bowl was a long time ago, and since that time, things have drastically changed. Of course, it doesn’t help that the Cowboys lost yet another big game on Sunday, this time to the San Francisco 49ers.

Jerry Jones Reacts

Following yet another bad playoff loss, Jones was asked about the state of his team. Typically, Jones always gives his guys a vote of confidence. Consequently, this just leads to the same results, year after year. However, Jones still gets sell-out crowds, so it’s not an issue for him.

In the video clip down below, you can see that Jones has virtually no issues with his head coach, Mike McCarthy. He effectively noted that the man’s job is safe, even if the loss was “sickening.” Despite cooking up the worst final drive we’ve seen in a very long time, McCarthy will lead the team for another season.

If you are a Cowboys fan, this is probably the last thing you wanted to hear. After all, McCarthy hasn’t done much in the league since winning a title with Aaron Rodgers over a decade ago. Regardless, they will just have to put up with these playoff exits as Jones doesn’t see any need to change.

Let us know what you think about Jones’ remarks, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Stephen A. Goes Off

In the 19-minute YouTube video below, you can see just how hard Stephen A. decided to go. As per usual, he wore a Cowboy hat and even had a cigar in his mouth. Moreover, he made sure to taunt Michael Irvin, who had to answer for his team’s horrendous offensive performance.

Throughout the clip, Smith made sure to place the blame squarely on Dak Prescott’s shoulders. He felt as though Prescott was horrible throughout the game and that his two interceptions were unacceptable. Furthermore, Smith thinks Mike McCarthy should be gone, as he clearly doesn’t have a command of the team.

For Cowboys fans, last night was an absolute nightmare. It is the second year in a row that they have lost to the 49ers. At this point, there is no telling whether or not they will ever be able to win the Super Bowl with Dak as their QB.

If you were watching the Cowboys last night, you got to bear witness to one of the most pitiful final drives in NFL history. Dak Prescott and his guys needed a touchdown to force overtime against the San Francisco 49ers. However, they were playing as if it was just a preseason scrimmage against the practice squad.

Subsequently, the 49ers won the game and now, they get to move on to the NFC Championship game for the second-straight season. They will be playing the Philadelphia Eagles, and it promises to be a fantastic matchup as a date in the Super Bowl is on the line.

Cowboys Fans Down Bad

Following the loss, Cowboys fans were very upset outside of AT&T Stadium. In fact, they even began to fight, according to TMZ. This is something that is pretty typical at football games. Overall, it’s easy to see why. Fans are consuming alcohol, and tensions can escalate. However, this time around, it was Cowboys fans fighting other Dallas fans.

In the two videos down below, you can see the extent of the brawl. From the get-go, it seemed like two men were the focal point. One was wearing an Ezekiel Elliott jersey while the other wore a CeeDee Lamb uniform. It was quite the fight that resulted in both men being separated by a crowd of onlookers.

Football games are always ripe with fans ready to go at it. When you add the stress of the playoffs into the equation, you can see how something like this could happen.

Skip Bayless Slams Dak Prescott Jersey In The Trash, Fans React

by

Skip Bayless is a huge Dallas Cowboys fanatic. Overall, he can be quite delusional about his Cowboys. For instance, he thought that Dak Prescott was going to have a phenomenal game against the San Francisco 49ers. If you watched last night’s game, you know that didn’t happen.

Prescott ended up throwing a total of two interceptions, all while missing some big passes down the stretch. Additionally, the last drive of the game was one of the worst things we have ever seen. From Dalton Schultz’s ridiculous inability to get both feet in-bounds to Ezekiel Elliott being turned to dust in the middle of the field, the Cowboys were very on brand.

Skip Bayless Reacts

With the Cowboys showcasing their ineptitude, Skip Bayless had no choice but to react. Typically, he reacts in the form of some incredibly dramatic tweets. However, this time around, Bayless decided to simply go after Dak Prescott who was ultimately the deciding factor in the match.

In the video clip down below, Bayless scripts a scene in which he walks over to his garbage can and deposits a Prescott jersey. It’s all incredibly dramatic and it is something that Bayless has done before. Regardless, he could not help himself after such a dramatic loss.

Subsequently, Bayless got hit with a lot of ridicule on social media. For the most part, people do not like it when Bayless does these sketches. As you will see in the tweets down below, people find these to be incredibly forced. Moreover, the acting leaves a lot to be desired.

Let us know what you thought of Bayless’ tantrum, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Cowboys Clowned For Embarrassing Ending Of Loss To 49ers

by

The Dallas Cowboys‘ season ended on Sunday night in San Francisco following a 19-12 to the 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs. NFL fans on Twitter quickly began roasting the team for the fashion in which they lost.

Much of the focus of fans’ reactions came in response to the final drive of the game. The Cowboys were able to get the ball back with under two minutes to play and no timeouts. During that time, quarterback Dak Prescott nearly took a safety, Dalton Schultz failed to stay in bounds on a routine sideline catch, and the team drew up an experimental play that failed miserably.

Shea Serrano wrote: “This final drive being little more than a farce with no real chance at victory attached to it is and no real threat to the opposing team is about as symbolic as it gets for the cowboys and for cowboys fans this past quarter century.”

“Cowboys ending back-to-back seasons with the new worst play in franchise history,” Patrick Daugherty further joked.

Another user tweeted: “Cowboys is the funniest team I ever seen in my life.”

Owner Jerry Jones spoke candidly about his disappointment in the team to reporters after the loss: “Frankly, I wouldn’t say surprised. I would say just real disappointed that we maybe couldn’t make something happen.”

Jones also added: “I thought this team, with Dak at quarterback, I thought we had a chance to get to and compete at the top level in this tournament. I really did.”
