Damar Hamlin Discharged From The Hospital

by

Damar Hamlin had a horrific injury on Monday Night Football last week. As many of you remember, Hamlin suffered a cardiac event after being hit by Tee Higgins. Overall, it was a freak accident that ultimately led to life-saving measures on the field.

It was reported that Hamlin received nine minutes of CPR and AED. Typically, it is very hard to survive these kinds of medical emergencies, however, the medical professionals worked tirelessly to keep him alive. Eventually, Hamlin was sent to the UC Health Center where he was on a ventilator.

Throughout the week, Hamlin progressively got better. He started breathing on his own and it became clear that his neurological function was still intact. Additionally, Hamlin began talking to his teammates and supporting them through the Bills’ match against the Patriots.

Damar Hamlin Goes Home

According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Hamlin has been officially discharged from the hospital. This means he is officially allowed to go home to his family in Buffalo. However, it was noted that Hamlin will be headed to a local hospital as he still needs to do tests. While he is doing significantly better, he still needs to be monitored.

Meanwhile, Hamlin himself has commented on the news, saying “Watching the world come together around me on Sunday was truly an amazing feeling. The same love you all have shown me is the same love that I plan to put back into the world n more.”

No matter how you swing it, his recovery is amazing. There were many who thought he would pass away on the field. However, the medical professionals did their job every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier that he is doing so well right now, and we continue to hope for his recovery.

Tom Brady To Be Heavily Pursued By This Team

by

Tom Brady is going into the playoffs with a chip on his shoulder. He is the best player in the history of the sport, however, he didn’t have the best season. At times, he simply looked pedestrian. As a result, it felt like the Buccaneers had no chance of winning the title.

Although, Tom Brady knows how to get it going when it matters most. His team is poised for a playoff run and with the Dallas Cowboys as their first opponent, they want to make a big statement. Overall, they should be favored, even if the Cowboys were good down the stretch. After all, these are the Cowboys we are talking about here.

What Will Tom Brady Do?

Tom Brady has a big decision to make in the offseason. Of course, he will be a come an unrestricted free agent. This means he can either retire or simply go to another team. As you can imagine, there are plenty of teams out there who would want to pursue the NFL legend.

According to a report from Albert Breer, it was revealed that one team who will look closely at Brady is the Las Vegas Raiders. They are going to be trading Derek Carr which means they need a quarterback. Brady fits that bill perfectly, although if they don’t land him, they will settle for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Going to the Raiders would probably be a hard sell for Tom Brady. After all, he is someone who wants to win. The Raiders do not have the pieces to go out and win a title, so bringing in Brady wouldn’t exactly move the needle.

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

Aaron Rodgers Hints At Retirement Again

by

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were eliminated from playoff contention last night. It was certainly a rough go for Packers fans, as they lost by four points to the Detroit Lions. They needed to win to get in, however, Rodgers ended up coming short after a lackluster performance.

As a whole, this season was not kind to Rodgers. He struggled with his rookie receivers at the start of the year, and by the time they got chemistry, it was just a bit too late. Overall, it was a bad way to end the season, especially after being a perennial threat to win the Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers Retiring?

Just like in seasons past, Rodgers is now hinting at retirement. He typically does this whenever he is eliminated from the playoffs. However, now he is doing it after not making the playoffs, entirely. In the clip below, courtesy of TMZ Sports, you can see exactly what Rodgers had to say after his team lost to the Lions. Overall, he sounds pretty dejected.

“At some point the carousel comes to a stop and it’s time to get off,” Rodgers said. “I feel good about what I’ve accomplished in this league and wouldn’t have any regrets walking away. But I gotta see what it feels like once I get away from this.”

Rodgers had signed an extension last summer after indicating that he wanted to be traded. Clearly, Rodgers was just saying that for leverage, and it ultimately worked in his favor. Now, however, it is truly up in the air as to whether or not he will ever return.

Let us know what you think Rodgers should do, in the comments below. Additionally, keep it locked to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Aaron Rodgers Brutally Roasted By Lions TikTok Account

by

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback who has been heavily criticized over the last few years. Much of this has been due to the fact that he refused to get vaccinated. He lied about his immunization status, and it has led to a whole lot of roasting on social media.

Overall, Rodgers has had a fairly off year with the Green Bay Packers. Just a few weeks ago, this team had no shot of making it to the playoffs. They had suffered multiple bad losses that had Rodgers looking old. However, in recent weeks, they had picked up the pace and needed a win against the Lions on Sunday to make it to the playoffs.

In the end, Rodgers and the Packers actually came up fairly short. They lost 20-16, and now, they will not be in the postseason. Instead, the Seattle Seahawks will get their spot. Overall, it is unfortunate for Rodgers, who felt like he had some revenge to get on those who doubted his teammates.

Lions Destroy Aaron Rodgers

Previously, Rodgers had some interesting comments about the Lions and their record. He made it seem like they aren’t a team he needs to worry about. Of course, that did not sit right with the team, who promptly roasted him on social media after Sunday night’s tilt.

In the clip below, you can find a TikTok in which Rodgers and his statements are obliterated by the Lions’ social media team. The sounds that are used are quite humorous, and overall, it has to be nice if you’re a Lions fan.

Unfortunately for the Lions, they will not be going to the playoffs this year either. They finished with a 9-8 record, however, the Seahawks won on Sunday which put them over the edge for the final Wild Card spot.

Let us know what you thought of the Lions’ TikTok, in the comments down below.

Skip Bayless Continues To Try And Correct His Damar Hamlin Mistake

by

Skip Bayless has oftentimes found himself to be the center of attention. Most of the time, this is for all of the wrong reasons. Overall, Bayless seems to love having the spotlight. However, that was certainly not the case as Bayless trended online for his comments about Damar Hamlin.

Following Hamlin’s frightening and devastating injury, Bayless tweeted: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?. This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

Of course, many found this to be heinous considering what we had just witnessed on the field. Immediately after his statement, Bayless was hit with harsh criticism by many in the sports world. After years of being a troll, people finally took out their frustrations in a timely yet effective manner.

Skip Bayless Corrects Course

Since that time, Bayless has been trying to clarify what he meant. For instance, with the Bills playing the Patriots this weekend, Bayless made sure to note how insignificant this game is. Overall, he also had smoke for the Bengals, who he felt were being disrespectful about losing a game. Needless to say, Skip doesn’t want to be the bad guy.

“Happy for the Bills. Rooting for them. But hard to get too excited about the outcome of a football game,” Skip wrote. “As I said again and again on Monday night, all that matters is Damar Hamlin. Prayed for him immediately on Monday night then for his complete recovery this Sunday morning.”

Just last week, Bayless and his co-host Shannon Sharpe got into it on the air about the tweet. Sharpe said he wanted Bayless to take the tweet down, however, Bayless did not want to hear it. This subsequently led to another awkward exchange between the two.

With people running out of patience for Skip Bayless, it remains to be seen how all of this will end. At the end of the day, this is big ratings for FS1, who have been the biggest beneficiaries of the bad press.

Rihanna Shows Off Super Bowl Halftime Show Merch As Her Return To The Stage Nears

by

The Super Bowl itself is an undeniably big deal every year. However, it’s often the Halftime show that really captivates audiences. In 2022, an impressive roster of artists took to the stage. Among them were 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige.

For some time, it was said that following such a lineup wouldn’t be easy for 2023’s headliner. However, it seems that the perfect artist was found in the form of Rihanna. She previously took a years-long hiatus from the music industry in favour of her other creative pursuits.

As the annual game nears, the new mother has been using social media to tease her fans about what they can expect. Most recently, she showed off her accompanying Savage X Fenty merch – namely a hoodie printed with the initial announcement image of her tattooed hand holding up a football that arrived last year.

“5 weeks from today,” the caption on Sunday’s (January 8) Instagram upload reads. Prior to that, Rih posted the same video on her Story, gearing her 139M followers up for her highly anticipated comeback.

Deadline reports that the “Breakin’ Dishes” hitmaker will be the first to perform in the rebranded Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The big event will take place on Sunday, February 12, in Glendale, Arizona. In charge of production is DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins. Additionally, Hamish Hamilton will act as the director.

Once the exciting announcement came out in 2022, Jay-Z took a moment to praise Rihanna. “[She] is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” he said at the time. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

It’s been noted that over 120 million viewers tuned in to the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. Later, it went on to receive a total of three Creative Emmy awards for all the performers involved.

Others who have graced the stage at the year’s biggest football game in the past include Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, and The Weeknd.

Are you excited to see Rihanna’s return to the stage in February? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Lil Wayne Reacts To Packers Missing Playoffs

by

Lil Wayne responded to the Green Bay Packers missing the playoffs on Twitter, Sunday. Following the team’s Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were eliminated from the postseason.

After the game, Rodgers prompted speculation about his future with the organization as NBC cameras caught him refusing to give Jameson Williams his jersey. Rodgers explained that he’s “gonna hold on to this one.”

Rodgers addressed his NFL future more formally in the postgame press conference.

“It’s a little raw right now,” Rodgers told reporters. “It’s just a little bit after the game, so I wanna take the emotion out of it and have conversations and see where the organization is, and see how I feel after some time has passed.”

“Do I feel like I have anything left to prove to myself?” he later asked. “Do I wanna go back and gear up for another grind? Or is it time? Is it time to step away? Is it time for another voice to be leading this team? I think I need to get away and contemplate those things. … It could be time to step away. But I could take some time and say, ‘Hell no, man, I need to get back out there and go another run.’ But I’ll have to see what it feels like once I’m away from it.”

Wayne, who has been a lifelong Packers fan, has previously stated that the team should’ve already gotten rid of Rodgers.

Despite the win for the Lions, the Seattle Seahawks took the final playoff spot in the NFC.

Check out Lil Wayne’s response to the disappointing end to the Packers’ season below.

Six days ago, the world was sent into shock when Buffalo Bills Safety, Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field. This is undeniably one of the worst sports injuries we’ve ever seen.

In the screenshot of the FaceTime call, Hamlin appears to be in good spirits while speaking to Meek Mill and Michael Rubin. “The volume of prayer on social media was at an all-time high this week. @danorlovsky7 even prayed on live TV. We are seeing those prayers get answered right before our eyes. Keep them coming! God is so good,” writes journalist Nick Veronica in a tweet.

The world was witness to the 24-year-old collapsing on the field during last week’s Monday Night Football game. He reportedly went into cardiac arrest due to the immense impact of a tackle he was making. After taking him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, they were initially listing him in critical condition.

Of course, the injury occurred during the first quarter of the highly-anticipated match between Hamlin’s Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. The NFL says that the teams will not be playing that game at all now.

The medical staff at the hospital are responsible for removing his breathing tubes on Friday (January 6), as he continued to make phenomenal progress in his recovery. “Per the physicians at UCMC, Damar’s breathing tube was removed overnight. He continues to progress remarkably in his recovery. His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team,” writes the team in a tweet.

Also on Saturday (January 7), the Bills’ Safety took to his Instagram account to speak publicly. This was the first time he was doing so since the injury. “When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much. The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. We bring the world back together behind this. If you know me you know this only gone make me stronger. On a long road keep praying for me,” he writes in the post’s caption.

It’s certainly great to hear that Hamlin is well on his way to recovery following the horrifying incident. We hope he will be out of the hospital soon. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

He’s still in intensive care and having some problems with his kidneys and his lungs but doctors say he is improving. I just wanted to head off any rumors that may be started, I’m sure he would want everyone to know that he appreciates all of the prayers being thrown up on his behalf!!!”
