Skip Bayless Calls Jerry Jones “Delusional”

by

Skip Bayless sure does love his Dallas Cowboys. Every single season, he tries to make up reasons for why they are actually going to be successful. Unfortunately, they have proven time and time again that they just don’t have the clutch gene that Bayless harps on so much.

Overall, it has been a rough two decades for Cowboys fans. They haven’t matched their success from the 90s, and it could be a while before they ever get back to a Super Bowl. Of course, they could do it this season, although it would take a Herculean effort.

Skip Bayless Vs. Jerry Jones

Recently, Jerry Jones claimed that Dak has superior DNA that makes it so he can’t turn the ball over. Of course, Bayless knows this is quite the opposite, and he said so on Undisputed. More jarringly, Bayless straight up claimed that Jerry Jones was delusional. These are some harsh words, however, we’re sure some Cowboys fans out there feel the same way.

“Jerry has delusionally convinced himself because he paid the man so much money that Dak is THAT guy,” Skip said. “I’m still waiting to see THAT guy emerge. But the harder I look, the worse it gets.”

The Cowboys are going to play the Buccaneers on Monday night. It is going to be a tough test, even though the Cowboys finished with four more wins. Brady is the GOAT and he knows how to win in the postseason. Meanwhile, the Cowboys under Dak Prescott have yet to prove such a thing.

Hopefully, for Skip and that fanbase, they can finally get it done. Let us know who you think will win, in the comments section down below.

Derek Carr Says Goodbye To The Raiders

by

Derek Carr had a solid time with the Las Vegas Raiders. While the team didn’t have a ton of success, they were still better than they had been in the previous decade. Now, however, it is clear that the Raiders are going to be moving on to someone else.

During the last two games of the season, Carr was benched. This is because both sides had come to an agreement over him not coming back next season. Overall, it was an emotional decision for both sides. Regardless, it seems like both parties are eager to just move on.

Derek Carr Speaks

Today, Carr took to social media with a long message for all of the Raiders fans out there. As you can see, this message came from the heart as Carr truly gave a lot to the city. Even if you thought he was a mediocre player, you can’t help but realize how hard he worked.

“Raider Nation it breaks my heart I didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye in person,” Carr said. “We certainly have been on a roller coaster in our 9 years together. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful and appreciative of the years of support you have to my family and me. We had our share of both heart breaking moments and thrilling game winning drives, and it always felt like you were there next to me.”

Carr continued by noting just how hard he worked during his time with the franchise.

“It’s especially hard to say goodbye because I can honestly say that I gave you everything I had, every single day, in season, and in the off season,” Carr explained. “It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I hope that I was able to leave you with more than a few great memories as Raider fans.”

by

Stephen A. Smith is easily one of the most recognizable faces on sports talk television. He always comes through with the hot takes, and he does so in an entertaining fashion. Overall, he is largely responsible for carrying ESPN’s programming over these last few years.

There have been plenty of hot topics in the sports world as of late. This is especially true now that the NFL playoffs are on the horizon.

Stephen A. Speaks

Stephen A. has always had some very strong opinions about Lamar Jackson. Simply put, he loves the Ravens quarterback. However, he believes the Ravens should just straight-up trade him. With their contract dispute in mind, Smith believes it would just be simpler for the Ravens to get rid of their QB.

“Let me be clear. Lamar Jackson is an electrifying talent that I want on my team any day of the week,” Smith began. “If you’re the Baltimore Ravens, clearly there is difficulty in getting him inked to a long-term deal. […] I would strongly look into what assets I could get for Lamar Jackson. Because I could get the house for this brother.”

A Lamar Jackson trade would be wild for numerous reasons. There is no doubt that the haul the Ravens would receive would be incredible. Although, it still remains to be seen what will happen here.

Let us know whether or not you agree with Stephen A. in the comments section down below. Additionally, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Odell Beckham Jr. Rips Into Passenger Amid Plane Incident: Watch

by

Odell Beckham Jr. became a topic of conversation a couple of months ago due to a bizarre incident on a flight. As many of you are aware, Odell was removed from an American Airlines flight as he reportedly slept before takeoff. Subsequently, he was asked to put his seatbelt on. However, he couldn’t as he was asleep.

Eventually, they told everyone to get off of the plane, and OBJ was told to find another flight. It was a truly bizarre incident that upset Beckham Jr., and for good reason. He felt as though they had no right to take him off the flight, although he eventually flew private and rectified the situation.

Odell Footage Surfaces

According to TMZ, footage of the incident has surfaced online. This footage comes courtesy of a police body cam, and as you can see, it is quite interesting. It appears as though the flight attendants and passengers made a huge deal out of Odell sleeping. One person can even be heard saying that he took his pants off, which isn’t true. At one point, a passenger told OBJ to just get a move on, which led to some insults from the football star.

“You’re everything wrong with the world,” Beckham said. “Looking at me to get off a plane, for you. I would never. Ever in my life get off the plane for you. Specifically you. Maybe everybody else, I would get off the plane. You gon’ wait 40 minutes and I’m going to be on a private plane home. Yeah, with your fat ass. Get your ass off the plane for a second.”

In the tweets down below, you can see some of the reactions to the footage. For the most part, fans are taking Odell’s side on this one. In fact, many believe that racism is at play here.

“Looks like an innocent man being bothered for no reason to me…” one person wrote. “Flight attendants being extra as hell for no reason. He was sleepy, of course he’d be slow to respond and not thinking straight. All for a seatbelt. Just wake him up,” said another.

Lamar Jackson & The Ravens Get Bad News

by

Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL when he is healthy. He has a dynamic skill set that even won him MVP of the league a few years ago. Unfortunately, he has yet to have the playoff success one would expect of a superstar.

Additionally, Jackson is now dealing with contract issues that put his future in Baltimore, in jeopardy. Now, however, Jackson is dealing with yet another injury that has ultimately kept him out of the Ravens’ lineup. With the playoffs just a few days away, fans were hoping he would be able to come back.

Lamar Jackson Sidelined Again

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jackson missed practice again on Wednesday. Consequently, it is very likely that he will not be able to play this weekend against the Bengals. This is absolutely devastating for the Ravens’ chances, especially with Tyler Huntley missing time as well.

The Bengals have become one of the best teams in the league over the past few weeks. Having said that, the Ravens are going to need a miracle to come out on top here. If you’re a fan of the team, then this Jackson news is truly devastating stuff.

With Jackson going through these injury issues, the Ravens front office will have even less incentive to sign him to guaranteed money. Overall, it is just a bad situation for both parties. Quite frankly, it would not be surprising to see some sort of divorce in the offseason. There are certainly a few teams out there who could use someone like Jackson.

Hopefully, Jackson is able to turn things around and have the career he has the potential to enjoy. In the meantime, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news from around the sports world.

Antonio Brown Accuser Claims AB Sent Her Son “Explicit Videos”

by

Antonio Brown was accused of domestic violence back in November. Subsequently, there were reports that Brown was in a standoff with the police. The police had a warrant for his arrest, however, they wanted to do it peacefully as it was believed that AB had guns inside his home.

Since then, the accusations against Brown were dropped. According to TMZ, the accusations were actually made by the mother of his children. It all started on November 27th when she entered his home to be with her kids. Brown got mad at her and immediately kicked everyone out, which led to her calling 911.

Antonio Brown Call Leaked

Now, TMZ has the leaked audio from the 911 call, and there were some wild accusations made. For starters, the woman can be heard yelling at Brown throughout the video. At one point, she says “This is not legal!” She also told Brown to “go inside” and “hide out.”

The most shocking accusation here is that Brown was allegedly sending his son explicit videos. As you will hear, the woman does not specify the content of the videos, although she is clearly upset about it. While the call is quite distressing, it is important to note that the allegations were eventually taken back.

Just days before Christmas, the cops had announced that they were no longer pursuing this case. Overall, it is a bizarre yet unfortunate situation that hopefully sees some sort of peaceful resolution. As for Brown himself, he has not commented on the matter, and it is unlikely that he will.

This is still a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this latest development, in the comments down below.

Super Bowl Bets

As one can imagine, numerous people will be betting on the big game this year. There is a lot of money to be made, and a whole lot of money to be lost. That said, fans are looking to cash in on their fandom on the sport’s biggest stage.

According to DraftKings Sportsbooks, the odds for the Super Bowl are in. As it turns out, the Chiefs are the favorites at +330. Essentially, this means you will win $330 if you bet $100. The next best odds are the Bills at +400, while the Eagles and 49ers are +600. Moreover, the Bengals are at +800 while the Cowboys clocked in at +1100. As you go deeper, the odds become almost insurmountable with Seahawks and Jaguars reaching +5000 and the Dolphins hitting +6000. The Chargers, Bucs, Ravens, and Vikings are all between the +2000 and +3500 range, which makes them solid darkhorse picks. Overall, picking the Super Bowl right now is a fool’s errand.
