Skip Bayless Reveals His Pick For Best Quarterback In The NFL

by

Skip Bayless is a man who is known for his controversial opinions. In fact, the more he says crazy things, the more people pay attention to him. Overall, he is a performance artist of sorts. He knows his role and he is constantly playing it, even when he is off the air.

Sure, this persona has gotten him into a lot of trouble. However, he always seems to come out of his controversies unscathed. For some, this is completely unfair. Unfortunately, that’s just how the media game works these days. As the saying goes, people love to watch a trainwreck.

Skip Bayless Speaks

When it comes to NFL quarterbacks, Bayless has always held the opinion that Tom Brady is the best in the league. Now, however, Brady is on his way out and younger players are beginning to take over. One such star is Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Ever since bursting onto the scene, Bayless has been in love with Burrow. After all, the kid carried the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance in just his second year with the team. Bayless believes he is the new Brady, and on today’s show, he declared Burrow as “the best quarterback in the National Football League.”

There are plenty of people out there who would agree with this take. After all, Burrow has been phenomenal and he has taken advantage of the fact that he has some incredible weapons at his disposal. However, he will find it difficult this weekend as he takes on Josh Allen, who is also considered to be one of the best in the league.

Let us know whether or not you agree with Skip’s take, in the comments down below. Additionally, keep it locked to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Shannon Sharpe Offers Sobering Dak Prescott Prediction

by

Shannon Sharpe sits across from Skip Bayless every weekday morning. Overall, he and Skip have some great chemistry, even when they appear to be fighting. Sharpe certainly makes the show entertaining, and his anti-Cowboys rhetoric always seems to annoy Bayless.

On Monday night, Sharpe had to watch the Cowboys systematically destroy the Buccaneers. Dak Prescott led his team to a 31-14 victory that Cowboys fans are still talking about. Now, however, the road becomes a lot tougher as they will face the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round.

Shannon Sharpe Hot Take

Today, Sharpe and Bayless got to discuss the Cowboys and their chances heading into Sunday’s game. As you can imagine, Bayless had a positive outlook of how things will go. Although, Sharpe was very quick to set him straight, especially as it pertains to Dak Prescott.

“I’ve seen enough and know who Dak is, he’s a rollercoaster. I don’t expect to see what he did in Tampa on Monday,” Sharpe said. Needless to say, Sharpe doesn’t seem to have much confidence that Dak can lead his team over one of the best defenses in football.

Bayless’ positive outlook included the tweet below, in which he said “The Dak I saw in Tampa suddenly had complete command of that position like I haven’t seen before. I believe he’ll carry the momentum over and play a clean and commanding game.”

Bayless sure does love his Cowboys, and he always seems to be lying to himself about how well they will play. If fans remember, the Cowboys lost to the 49ers last season and that’s when they were favored. Now that they are underdogs, their chances are even worse.

Rob Gronkowski Rips Aaron Rodgers For MVP Take

by

Rob Gronkowski has been making a ton of media appearances as of late. During these appearances, he has mostly talked about coming back to the NFL. Overall, he seems to be quite bored at home and just wants to get back on the field with a new team.

Additionally, he has stated that he would love to play with Josh Allen. He is from Buffalo, so playing for the Bills would be ideal. They even offered him a deal this season, however, he ultimately turned it down. Perhaps next season, he will finally bite.

Now, Gronk seems focused on something Aaron Rodgers said during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. Rodgers claimed he has another MVP in him, and that he will likely play next season.

“Do I still think I can play? Of course. Of course,” Rodgers said. “Can I play at a high level? Yeah. The highest. I think I can win MVP again in the right situation. Right situation, is that Green Bay or is that somewhere else? I’m not sure, but I don’t think you should shut down any opportunity.”

Rob Gronkowski Reacts

Gronk took issue with these comments and made that clear on Up & Adams. In the clip down below, Gronkowski notes that Rodgers shouldn’t be focused on MVPs. Instead, he should want to win another Super Bowl.

“I’m totally fine with everything he said except for one major part — and that’s the ‘MVP again,’” Gronkowski said. “Bro, why are you thinking MVP? Don’t you want Super Bowls?”

Gronkowski certainly makes a good point here. Over the last few years, it has seemed as though Rodgers has been more focused on personal achievements rather than team ones.

Former NFL Star Jerrell Powe Arrested For Kidnapping

by

The internet has been buzzing this week with news regarding sports stars’ controversies, and Jerrell Powe was an unlikely addition. The former NFL star played for Ole Miss before being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. He would move on to the Houston Texans and also played for the Washington Commanders before being released in 2015. Powe officially retired in 2017.

He has kept a low profile over the years without returning to the spotlight. However, several news outlets reported Powe was arrested in Mississippi in connection to a kidnapping.

NBC News reports Powe was arrested alongside an alleged accomplice, 35-year-old Gavin Bates. It was further said that at least one arrest was at a Chase Bank.

Details regarding this case are unclear, but it was stated that a victim, a man, told police he was kidnapped “against his will.” The man also reportedly shared with officers that he was being “forced to withdraw money” from the bank.

Powe nor his alleged accomplice have issued statements about the allegations. It’s stated the former footballer remains in police custody at the time of this publication. The investigation is ongoing, but the alleged victim is safe, said authorities.

Meanwhile, Powe isn’t the only NFLer to make headlines. Antonio Brown also comes under fire after sharing sexually explicit images on Snapchat. He has reportedly been suspended from the platform. The mother of his children, Chelsie Kyriss, has also spoken out against the images.

Antonio Brown Appears Unbothered On Social Media Amid Snapchat Controversy

by

Antonio Brown is being hit with serious accusations of revenge porn right now. This comes after a recent Snapchat story in which he posted a picture of himself receiving oral sex from the mother of his children. In fact, Chelsie Kyriss has already issued a strong response to AB’s actions.

“I have reported his page and all pictures,” Kyriss said. “Unfortunately Snapchat is allowing him to repost. I am very sorry for any of your kids that follow him and used to look at him as a role model. I do not condone these actions as you are aware I have kids involved as well.”

Overall, this is just a terrible look for AB. Additionally, he had his Snapchat account suspended, and he may very well never get it back. Needless to say, reckless actions have consequences, and AB is learning that the hard way right now.

Antonio Brown Tweets Through It

Furthermore, throughout all of this, AB unleashed three tweets onto the timeline. As you can see down below, these tweets don’t speak directly to the situation. Although, they do speak to the idea that Brown thrives off of controversy, whether good or bad.

“Somewhere between psy-chot-ic and i-con-ic,” he wrote. “What more Can I SAY NOW. Don’t play wit me Play Football,” he added.

Fans don’t really know what to make of what Brown is saying here. He has always been pretty ambiguous when it comes to his tweets, and this is yet another instance of that. Hopefully, someone steps in and offers him some much-needed guidance.

Stephen A. Smith Hilariously Apologizes To Dak Prescott’s Dad

by

Stephen A. Smith is known for having some wild hot takes. Additionally, sometimes he makes some large grandiose predictions that do not exactly work out in his favor. Well, that is exactly what happened on Monday as he told Dak Prescott’s father that his son would throw two interceptions.

Subsequently, Smith was proven wrong as Dak threw zero interceptions on Monday night. Furthermore, he came through with a whopping five touchdowns. This gave the Cowboys a 31-14 victory that fans are going to remember for a very long time.

Stephen A. Reacts

In the video clip down below, you can see that Smith ate his words this morning. Marcus Spears ordered him to apologize on the air, and that is exactly what he did. Overall, it was a pretty hilarious moment, especially as Smith seemed apprehensive about giving the apology.

Moreover, Smith gave a more fleshed out analysis of the Cowboys later on First Take. As you can see, Stephen A. was pretty shocked in terms of how the Cowboys played. He did not expect them to bury the Bucs in such a fashion. Needless to say, he was very impressed with what he saw.

“Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys. … I expected [them] to implode … They shocked me,” Smith said. However, Stephen A. is making sure that fans temper their expectations as the Cowboys will play a strong 49ers team next Sunday.

The Cowboys are a team who have always choked under the pressure, at least over the last 20 years. Now, however, they have a great opportunity to show people that they can contend for a Super Bowl.

Let us know if you think they will defeat the 49ers next weekend, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Ed Reed Apologizes After Ranting About His Own School

by

Ed Reed was recently hired as the new head coach of the Bethune-Cookman football team. Bethune-Cookman is an HBCU that has been in need of a revamped football program. After having a horrible record last year, Reed has been brought in to inject some energy.

However, it seems like Reed is already upset with some of the resources he has been dealt. While speaking on a Livestream, Reed made some disparaging remarks about HBCUs and the issues they face.

“I see it all too clearly. All of our HBCUs need help,” he said. “And they need help because of the people who’s running it. Broken mentalities out here. I’m going to leave you with that. I gotta get in the office.” Reed also claimed that he was doing work that wasn’t part of his job description. Subsequently, this led to him threatening to leave.

Ed Reed Speaks

Consequently, Reed was criticized by many for his comments. Videos of his rant went viral, and there were some who felt like he shouldn’t be the team’s coach. Overall, Reed understood the weight of his comments, and he apologized for them on social media.

“In regards to my social media and comments about the University, staff and other institutions, I would like to sincerely apologize to all BCU staff, students and alumni for my lack of professionalism,” Reed said. “My language and tone were unacceptable as a father, coach and leader. My passion for our culture, betterment and bringing our foundation up got the best of me and I fell victim while engaging with antagonists on social media as well. I am fully aware of the hard working folks at our school who are also fighting to make things better and more financially sound. I am encouraged from my communication with my AD and our administration and understand it’s a work in progress. My passion is about getting and doing better and that goes for me too.”

Reed is not the first person to criticize HBCUs. Of course, Deion Sanders has done that as well over the past few months. Regardless, it seems as though Reed will remain as the team’s head coach until further notice.

Russell Gage Taken To Hospital Following Scary Hit

by

Russell Gage of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went through an incredibly scary moment on Monday night. Of course, the Buccaneers were taking on the Dallas Cowboys in their Wild Card matchup. Late in the game, Tom Brady threw a pass into the middle of the field, and Gage was the target.

Subsequently, Gage went down on the ground to get the ball, but it bounced off of his hands. From there, a Cowboys player came in with a late hit and hit Gage’s neck with his arm. Overall, it appeared to be a very scary injury that looked pretty awful on TV.

Russell Gage Gets Treatment

According to TMZ, Gage was taken to the hospital for his injury. On TV, Gage was down on the field for several minutes. Consequently, his teammates gathered around on the field and offered him some support. While it was nowhere near as awful as the Damar Hamlin situation, there was still quite a bit of concern.

As per head coach Todd Bowles, it has been confirmed that Gage has a concussion. However, it is unclear what other injuries he may have. For now, they want to take a good look at his neck to see if it may be broken. Thankfully, Gage appeared to be moving his legs and fingers while on the field.

Overall, it was a bad night for the Buccaneers who lost 31-14 to the Cowboys. Now, their season is over, and it remains to be seen if Tom Brady will be back. Hopefully, however, Gage is okay and is able to return healthy next year.

Dak Prescott Explains What Tom Brady Told Him After Huge Win

by

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys proved a ton of doubters wrong last night. For years now, the Cowboys have been seen as playoff chokers. Prescott has also been hit with this label as his record coming into last night was 1-3. However, Prescott changed the narrative with five touchdowns. Four were from passing, and one was from running it in himself.

This win now makes it so that the Cowboys will face the San Francisco 49ers next weekend. Of course, this is going to be a matchup for the ages. The Cowboys are very much expected to lose, however, they seem to have hit their stride. At this point, it is anyone’s game.

Dak Prescott Reacts

Following the match, Prescott spoke to reporters about what took place on the field. Overall, he was overjoyed about his team’s effort. Furthermore, he discussed what Tom Brady told him after the game. As you will see, it was a great message.

“He just said that I played well,” Dak Prescott said. “I told him good job, he told me good job. I just shook his hand. [Brady’s] obviously a guy that I have the ultimate respect for. He’s won more than anyone has in this league. He’s been the epitome of how to play this game for years and how to take care of your body. So much respect for him.

“But that’s about (our) defense. The way they went out there and took care of business. This isn’t some Dak versus Tom Brady matchup. That was Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Our defense played their asses off and gave us an opportunity to score more points than they did.”

While Prescott and the Cowboys might find it difficult in the next round, there is no doubt that they have some momentum. If they find a way to take advantage, there is a good chance they go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Let us know what you think the Cowboys’ chances are of winning it all, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the football world.

Skip Bayless Reacts With Glee After Cowboys Blowout

by

Skip Bayless is perhaps the biggest Cowboys fan on TV, aside from Michael Irvin. Every time Bayless is on Undisputed, you can hear him deliver some unique takes about his Cowboys. Overall, he comes across as a homer, and it never fails to make Shannon Sharpe laugh.

On Monday night, Bayless was sweating from the comfort of his home as the Cowboys took on the Buccaneers. Bayless understood that this was a huge game for the franchise, and somehow, they delivered. The Cowboys knocked off Tom Brady by a score of 31-14. Subsequently, Bayless was quite the happy camper.

Skip Bayless Reacts

Immediately after his big win, Bayless took to Twitter where he gloated about the situation. Of course, this could have been a disaster for Skip. Had the Cowboys lost, Bayless would have received Sharpe’s full wrath. However, Bayless will now get to gloat on this morning’s show.

“FINALLY: The Dallas Cowboys win their first road playoff game in 30 years. I was there that day – Jan. 17, 1993 – at Candlestick,” Bayless wrote. “Thank you, Dak Prescott, for playing the game of your life at GOAT.” Needless to say, Bayless was more than happy about what took place last night.

Additionally, Skip made sure to react to the pitiful performance from Cowboys kicker Brett Maher. Maher missed his first four point after attempts, which was simply ridiculous. Eventually, he made the last one, and thankfully, it had no real impact on the outcome of the game. Now, however, the Cowboys might need to find a new kicker.

As for Bayless, this was a great night for him that he will never forget. We just pray for Shannon Sharpe this morning as he will be facing a different kind of beast.
