Tom Brady Hints At His Future Following Loss To The Cowboys

by

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got destroyed by the Dallas Cowboys last night by a score of 31-14. The score could have been a lot worse, however, Brady was able to throw a second touchdown near the end of the game to stop some of the bleeding.

Overall, it was not Brady’s best effort as a member of the Bucs. Although, it should be said that the Cowboys defense showed up to play. They were phenomenal through the vast majority of the match, and Dak Prescott also showed out with the game of his life.

Tom Brady Speaks

After the game, Brady addressed the media and made some interesting comments. Of course, he can decide to retire after this season. Additionally, he could just go to another team. However, based on his comments below, it seems as though he is likely to move on from the Bucs.

“I just want to thank you guys for everything this year, I really appreciate your effort,” Brady said. “I know it’s hard for you. I know it’s hard for us players to make it through and you guys have a tough job and I appreciate all that you guys do to cover us and to everyone that watches and big fans of the sport are very grateful for everyone’s support. I love this organization, it’s a great place to be.”

If Brady were to move on, it seems likely that he would go to either the Miami Dolphins or the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders seem the most likely place for him to go, however, considering Tua is already established in Miami.

Let us know what you think Brady should go and do, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Rob Gronkowski Reveals Which Team He Almost Signed With

by

Rob Gronkowski is easily one of the best tight ends to ever play in the NFL. He broke numerous records during his time in the league. Additionally, he won four Super Bowls with the likes of Tom Brady. Overall, he could very well go down at the GOAT at his position.

Recently, Gronk has been teasing fans with a return to the field. He is constantly talking about what it would take to get him to come back. Furthermore, he has been talking about the likes of Josh Allen and how he would be down to play with him someday.

Rob Gronkowski Makes A Revelation

As it turns out, he wasn’t so far off from playing with Allen. While speaking to Travis and Jason Kelce, Gronk revealed that the Bills called him up last summer. In fact, he was thinking of making it happen. However, he ultimately decided against it as he wanted a bit more money. Not to mention, he didn’t have that drive to play football.

“I was like, ‘Ahh. Tom [Brady] retired, I’ma check out some other teams,” Gronkowski explained. “I was actually in talks with the Buffalo Bills a little bit. They wanted me to come up there.”

If Gronk does want to make a comeback, there are plenty of teams out there who will take him. However, it does seem like his best option is the Bills. They have the quarterback and they have the ability to get him that fifth Super Bowl. Although, the team just needs to back up the Brinks truck.

Let us know where you think Gronk should go, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world. We’re sure Gronk will continue to give us plenty to talk about.

Stephen A. Smith Trolls Cowboys Fans With Epic Monologue

by

If you are a big Stephen A. fan, then you know the kind of relationship he has with the Dallas Cowboys. Overall, this distaste for the Cowboys mostly extends to the fanbase. As many already know, Cowboys fans are fairly delusional about their team. They always think their team is going to win the Super Bowl, although they rarely make it past the Wild Card round.

Tonight, the Cowboys will be going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what should be a good matchup. This is going to be a make-or-break moment for Dak Prescott, who needs a big playoff win on his resume. If he loses, however, pundits like Stephen A. Smith are going to eat him for lunch.

Stephen A. Makes His Mark

Today, First Take was being hosted in none other than Tampa Bay, Florida. Since the Bucs won their division, they are hosting this game, despite having four fewer wins than the Cowboys. In true Stephen A. fashion, he decided to make an exceptionally fashionable entrance at the game.

In the clip down below, you can find Smith wearing a Cowboy hat all while riding the escalator. There were plenty of Cowboy fans in attendance for the live show, and he made sure to taunt them with some anti-Cowboys rhetoric. Of course, Michael Irvin was right behind him as he attempted to stop the madness.

If you are a Cowboys fan, you are probably feeling extremely nervous right now. The team never wins games that they are supposed to, and this could be another example of that. Hopefully, for Cowboys fans, Stephen A. has nothing to gloat about on Tuesday.

Let us know who you think will win on Monday night, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from the sports world.

Ravens’ Rumored Plan For Lamar Jackson Revealed

by

Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL. Unfortunately, however, he has had to deal with some serious injury issues. Ultimately, a knee injury kept him out of the team’s Wild Card game on Sunday. Consequently, the team lost by just a touchdown. Had Jackson been there, it could have been a different story.

Of course, Jackson is currently dealing with a contract dispute. The Ravens superstar wanted more guaranteed money than the Ravens were willing to spend. Now, heading into the offseason, the Ravens have a dilemma on their hands. Effectively, they need to make some big decisions in regard to Jackson.

Lamar Jackson Franchise Tag

Subsequently, there is a ton of reporting being done in regard to Jackson. For instance, Ian Rapoport was on Good Morning Football this morning where he spoke about the Ravens’ plans. Overall, the Ravens want to keep Jackson and will offer him a long-term deal.

However, if Jackson doesn’t like the guaranteed money aspect, there is a good chance that he will decline. From there, the Ravens will just hit him with the franchise tag, as they would rather not lose him.

In a report from Peter King, however, it was noted that the Ravens could use a different kind of franchise tag. This tag would allow other teams to offer Jackson a deal. From there, the Ravens can either match it, or let him walk for some draft compensation.

Per Peter King:

“I think it’s going to be hard for Jackson to get a long-term contract without significant protection for the team. Which means, to me, a significant likelihood that the Ravens may use the non-exclusive franchise tag for Jackson. If he agrees to a contract with another team, the Ravens could match it or be awarded two first-round picks (or a different deal the two teams could negotiate) if the Ravens do not match it.“

Based on these reports, it is clear that the Ravens know they need Jackson. Whether or not they will throw the proper money at him, remains to be seen.

Aaron Donald Appears To Tease Retirement On Twitter

by

NFL star Aaron Donald sent Los Angeles Rams fans into a frenzy on Sunday by seemingly teasing his retirement on Twitter. The 31-year-old changed the bio on his page to “former NFL D Lineman for the Rams.”

After followers began taking note of the change, Donald reverted his bio back to what it was previously. He dropped the “former.”

Donald’s wife, Erica, responded to the rumors, telling fans to “chillax” with a gif from The Office.

Donald hasn’t been shy about considering retirement in recent years. After the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl in 2022, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year admitted he might be done.

“I’ll be fine regardless, but me talking about retirement, that was happening way before we won a Super Bowl. I’ve been saying that since I got into the league I was going to play eight years and be done,” Donald explained. “That’s just what I’ve been saying. … If I was to play, it’s just to win another Super Bowl, but at the end of the day, it’s still a business and it got to make sense to me and my family.”

Retirement for Donald would come after one of the Rams’ most disappointing seasons in years. The reigning Super Bowl champion team won just five games while several of their top players suffered injuries. Additionally, they gave up their first round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Check out Aaron Donald’s updated bio on Twitter below, as well as his wife, Erica’s response.

NFL wide receiver A.J. Green’s home in Roswell, Georgia was burglarized on Friday night, according to TMZ Sports. Police are currently tracking down the alleged thief.

Green’s house was empty at the time of the break-in, but it’s unclear how the thief gained entry to the home.

While the thief could get inside, they tripped a house alarm notifying the local police department. They responded around 8 PM.

Investigators will reportedly review surveillance cameras on the property to identify the suspect. Police are still taking an inventory of what the thief stole from the property.

Green has yet to comment on the reported break-in.

The NFL’s star’s property comes in at 2.7 acres while the house is 5,100 square feet. It has 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. The house is about 90 minutes from the University of Georgia, where Green played football from 2008 to 2010.

The burglary comes as Green finishes up his 12th season in the NFL. While he’s on track to become a free agent in the offseason, he recently admitted that retirement is an option.

“It’s a decision I have to make with my family, but whatever the decision is, I’m at peace with it,” Green told reporters. “I feel I’ve been true to this game my whole career, I did everything the right way, so if it’s my time to walk away, I’ll be ready.”

In his last season with the Cardinals, A.J. Green recorded just 236 yards and two touchdowns. He played in 15 games.

Sean McVay Reveals His Coaching Future

by

Sean McVay is easily one of the best coaches in the NFL. He became a head coach at a pretty young age, and he immediately made an impact with the Rams. In fact, within just a few years, he had the team in the Super Bowl. However, they ultimately closed to the Tom Brady Patriots in a stinker of a game.

Subsequently, McVay went back to work and won the Super Bowl with the Rams last season. Unfortunately, the team has been horrible this past year and has missed the playoffs. Amidst all of this, McVay has been teasing a retirement from coaching in the NFL.

Sean McVay Finally Decides

These past few weeks have led to a whole bunch of speculation about McVay. Some believe he is on his way out, while others believe he will be back. Overall, there have been some polarizing opinions about this saga, especially since McVay signed an extension.

Well, today, McVay finally clued people into what he plans on doing. According to the Rams social media account, McVay has decided to remain with the team next season. This is obviously great news, especially since many players will be coming back healthy next year.

Unfortunately for McVay and the Rams, the league has started to catch up to them. There are some amazing teams in the NFC right now, and their path will become exponentially harder next season. However, McVay is seen as a coaching genius, and we’re sure he will figure things out.

Let us know what you think of McVay’s decision, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

“As a son and a parent I want to fully apologize to anyone I offended, specifically Myles Garrett and his family,” Clowney said. “My words in the lockerroom were not only taken out of context, but completely misrepresented.”
