Tom Brady Speaks On Looming Retirement Decision

by

Tom Brady has some massive decisions to make this off-season. Of course, last year, he decided to announce his retirement from football. However, just a month later, he decided to come out of retirement for one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Overall, this wasn’t exactly his best decision as the Bucs stand at a record of 7-8. Still, the Buccaneers are in a playoff spot and they are staring down a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. If Brady can turn things around and win it all, then it will be his most unlikely Super Bowl run to date.

Will Tom Brady Retire?

During the most recent episode of his famous Let’s Go podcast, Brady was asked about making the retirement decision. As Brady explained, it isn’t something that is truly on his mind right now. Instead, he is thinking about finishing out this season and getting the best possible result. However, he did note that once he decides to retire, that’s it this time.

“I think what I really realized … was you’ve got to be really sure to do that,” Brady said. “And for me, you know, a lot of people have kind of gone through this situation. I’m going to take my time whenever that time does come.”

For football fans, it will certainly be bizarre to enter a season without Brady. he has played 23 seasons at this point, which means many fans have grown up with him.

Broncos Fire Nathaniel Hackett As Russell Wilson Struggles

by

If you are a Broncos fan, then this season has been one from hell. The team was looking good a few months ago when they got Russell Wilson in a trade. However, Wilson has been playing some of the worst football of his career. In fact, one could argue he is one of the worst QBs in the entire league.

Additionally, the team’s head coach Nathaniel Hackett has been awful. This was his first year with the team, and there was hope that he would inject new life into the franchise. Of course, that has not happened, and now, fans are completely fed up with him.

Broncos Make A Change

Yesterday, on Christmas, the Denver Broncos lost to the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 51-14. Wilson threw numerous interceptions while Hackett did nothing to help his team’s fortunes. Overall, it was easily the team’s worst game of the entire season.

The Broncos’ front office was so mad that they immediately fired Hackett this morning. In a statement, according to TMZ, team CEO Greg Penner explained the decision.

“Following extensive conversations with George and our ownership group, we determined a new direction will ultimately be in the best interest of the Broncos,” Penner said. “This change was made now out of respect for everyone involved and allows us to immediately begin the search for a new head coach.”

This is probably the right decision, moving forward. As you can see below, the Broncos were a complete laughingstock yesterday. Consequently, a move had to be made.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates from around the sports world.

Dan Orlovsky Does His Best Stephen A. Smith Impression

by

When Dan Orlovsky was in the NFL, he didn’t exactly have the best highlight reel. He was part of a Detroit Lions team that didn’t win a single game. Furthermore, he had that infamous play where he ran out of bounds while in the endzone, resulting in a safety.

However, Orlovsky has proven to be a great football analyst. He knows the game extremely well, and he always provides some solid insights while working his job with ESPN. He is a constant presence on Get Up! and First Take, with many fans taking a liking to him.

Dan Orlovsky Gets Some Laughs

Over the weekend, Orlovsky was spending Christmas with his family, all while watching some football. As he explains in the clip below, Stephen A. Smith called him during the Green Bay Packers Vs. Miami Dolphins game. This is all because of Tua Tagovailoa’s poor performance.

With Smith disrupting Orlovsky’s good time, he decided to come through with an impression of the broadcaster. As you can imagine, the impression was pretty funny, and it had Michael Irvin laughing along. Overall, we’re sure Irvin has had the very same phone calls.

Smith didn’t have the best weekend for football as the Eagles lost to the Cowboys. Stephen A. is a huge Cowboys hater, and today, Irvin had all of the reasons in the world to gloat. Luckily for Smith, he had today off, which means he didn’t need to hear any foolishness.

Hopefully, Smith is back on the panel soon so we can see some hilarious debates between him, Orlovsky, and Irvin. After all, things just aren’t the same when Smith isn’t there.

Skip Bayless Debuts His Cowboys-Inspired Christmas Gift

by

Skip Bayless is one of the most polarizing people in the sports television world. Some people love him for his trolling, while others think he is the worst thing to happen to sports discourse. Overall, this has made him a huge money-maker for Fox Sports 1, and that is why he remains employed.

As many of you know, Skip is a huge fan of the Cowboys. This year, they have been having a solid season. On Christmas Eve, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in an incredibly entertaining matchup. Subsequently, Bayless was able to have the best Christmas ever.

Skip Bayless Celebrates

With Bayless feeling the Christmas cheer, he was able to have a good Sunday with his wife Ernestine. In the image down below, you can even see the sportscaster showcasing his new Dallas Cowboys poncho. Subsequently, we imagine he is going to wear this on the air whenever they win.

Today, Bayless was overjoyed while talking about his team. He noted that he thought the Cowboys played the perfect game, even if it was against the backup QB of the Eagles. Overall, Bayless is having the time of his life and he was ready for this moment.

“My Dallas Cowboys are going to have a very happy New Year. They made a statement that we are a potential Super Bowl team,” he said. “I give my Cowboys a 9 on the 1-10 impressive scale because there was no Jalen Hurts, but I do respect Gardner Minshew. I believe all told, this was their best game of the year.”

The Cowboys probably won’t win their division, however, they will be a threat in the postseason. If somehow they do win the title, then there is no stopping Bayless from being a complete menace.

Let us know what you think the Cowboys’ chances are, in the comments down below.

Bengals Plane Loses Engine Leading To Scary Scene

by

On Saturday, the Bengals came through with a huge win against the New England Patriots. This was a very important game for the Bengals to win as they are looking to take the top spot in the AFC North. Overall, Joe Burrow was solid while the defense made the Patriots look bad.

It was a nice early Christmas gift for the team. Since the game was on Christmas Eve, they were able to fly home that night and make it to their families in time for Christmas Day. Unfortunately, the entire country was gridlocked, and even NFL superstars couldn’t avoid potential disaster.

Bengals Flight Issues

According to reporter Lance McAlister, the Bengals were flying home out of Rhode Island when an engine failed. Subsequently, the team was forced to experience an emergency landing. This landing took place at JFK Airport in New York City.

Eventually, it was reported that the Bengals were able to get their second plane and make it home around midnight on Christmas. Overall, this is not the kind of situation you want to be in. However, everything turned out fine, which is definitely good to see.

For the Bengals, the goal moving forward will be to make it back to the Super Bowl. This team made it there last year against all odds. Now, they have a chance to go right back, which would be huge.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you the latest news and updates from around the NFL world.

Josh Jacobs Unloads After Latest Raiders’ Loss: “It’s Bullsh*t”

by

Josh Jacobs went off after the Las Vegas Raiders’ latest disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The star running back says that he’s tired of his team struggling year after year.

“Yeah, man, it’s bullshit, for real,” Jacobs said after the game, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “It’s bullshit. And it’s on us, you know? Everybody wanna talk about the defense before. They made their stops when they were supposed to. Shit, we’ve got to help them out. And, you know, I’m tired of saying we’ve got to fucking help them out, and it’s just frustrating.”

The entire Raiders offense totaled just 201 yards during the 13-10 loss. Quarterback Derek Carr threw three interceptions, while Jacobs mustered only 44 yards.

“We still had opportunities to make plays,” Jacobs said when asked about the Steelers’ ability to stop the Raiders’ running game. “I feel like in times where we was close and we felt like we was about to get a big one, we went away from it. You know, and the pass game was working early. So, you know, that is what it is, but to win these games, you know, especially in the stretch, especially you’re up, against a team like this in the cold, you’ve got to run the ball. So that’s a factor on everybody involved, top to bottom.”

Jacobs’ remarks come just months ahead of his first time being an unrestricted free agent.

Trevon Diggs & Joie Chavis Smooch On The Sidelines

by

Love is in the air this holiday season, even on the football field. Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs shared a kiss with his boo Joie Chavis yesterday, on Christmas Eve. Moreover, the Cowboys played the Philadelphia Eagles and won 40 to 34. As Diggs ran off the field, he pulled his mask mask down and smooched Chavis, cheering from the sidelines, before moving on.

It’s wholesome to see the two share a cute moment, especially since Joie Chavis went through a lot recently. Someone broke into her Los Angeles home last November and traumatized her and her family. Given the surge in crime as of late, such stories are far too common. Fortunately, the family wasn’t harmed, but it’s a tough time to be sure.

On another note, the couple teased their romance back in October, and they’ve manifested. Previously, people started rumors that she was dating Diddy after they kissed on a yacht in Italy. Unlike Diggs, this wasn’t the case, and Chavis explained it via Instagram.

“I was working on an unreleased project for him and that’s why I was in Italy! In the midst of me being there we kissed, that’s it. Didn’t go further than that! I had my own damn room and he has always been respectful to me as a friend. The kiss shouldn’t have happened, but it did, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Meanwhile, the influencer spoke about sticking to celibacy “until the right one comes along.” She dated famous men like Bow Wow and Future, with whom she shares children, and rumors spread of her, Diddy, and many others. However, she wrote to followers on Instagram that she wants something more.

“I’ve been through so much pain, and as terrified as I am, I wanna be in love again,” she wrote. “I haven’t given up on that even though it seems nearly impossible to have someone in this generation. Single and dating is cool, but I’m really gonna stick to celibacy until the right one comes along.”

What do you think of Joie Chavis and Trevon Diggs’s fling? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in celebrity relationships and cute couple moments.

Seattle Seahawks & DK Metcalf Spark Twitter Frenzy Over Shirtless Warm-Ups

by

These days, NFL players compete in arctic conditions during the holiday season. However, DK Metcalf and the Seattle Seahawks walked onto the 10-degree weather unfazed. They faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs with a breeze that felt below zero. Moreover, they walked onto the field shirtless for warm-up practices, as a way to send a message to their home-court opponents. With so many tough and buff players on the field, and it being so cold outside, Twitter was having a field day.

Meanwhile, their confidence and attitude reflected an important mentality and focus they need to tap into. They are right on the cusp of a playoff position at 7-7, but cannot afford to lose. The New York Giants, Washington Commandeers, and Detroit Lions are also hungry for an extra playoff spot, and there’s just a couple left.

Furthermore, these weathered conditions greatly impact the remaining Week 16 games. Moreover, the U.S. is undergoing an arctic blast, and below-freezing temperatures and brutal winds practically canceled certain games. The Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans delayed their game for an hour due to power outages in Nashville. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints will have to drive up to Cleveland to face the Browns in temperatures below zero.

Just to illustrate the cold these players deal with in addition to football, the Buffalo Bills will play the Chicago Bears with a -28.5 degree wind chill. The aforementioned Saints and Browns game forecasted at -15, and the Seahawks bared their chests in eight-degree weather or less.

Unfortunately, as soon as people were hyping the Seahawks up, Twitter was full of memes of their fumbles during the game as well. However, some were genuinely in jest, but the spectrum between butt-hurt fans and haters was narrow. “Never been more obvious the NFL does not want the Seahawks to succeed,” one user wrote.

“This drive is DK’s fault,” another stated. “Dumb hold on an 18 yard run. Don’t know what is wrong with him, all he does is make dumb mistakes.”

What do you think of the Seahawks’ powerful statement against the Chiefs? Let us know in the comments and check out some more reactions to their shirtless warm-up down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in NFL news, viral moments, and cold, cold games.

Jake Paul Joins NFL’s Cleveland Browns In An Unexpected Way

by

At this point, it’s impossible to avoid Jake Paul‘s name on social media and in the headlines.

As the social media star’s list of business ventures continues to grow, his latest comes in the form of a contract with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.

He won’t, however, be suiting up to play on the field for the currently third-place AFC North team.

In a shocking post to his Instagram account on Friday (December 23), the influencer teased that he would be joining the Browns. He’s seen posing at a press conference alongside the team’s Executive Vice President, JW Johnson.

Since Johnson is holding up a jersey with Paul’s name on it, the post certainly stirred up some conversations. “Excited to be on the team @clevelandbrowns @nfl,” reads the caption.

In another video that’s part of the same post, Paul is seen on FaceTime with Johnson discussing a contract. “Crazy news, guys, I got a contract with the Cleveland Browns,” says the 25-year-old before answering the call. “We’re fired up. [We] can’t wait to get you here today and get you to sign that contract, and excited to have you be a part of the team, man,” Johnson tells the boxer.

The Cleveland Browns subsequently took to their own Instagram account to officially welcome the Cleveland native to their organization in a press conference.

In the amusing clip, the influencer immediately expresses his long-time dream of playing in the NFL, implying that the forthcoming announcement will be making that dream come true. The E.V.P. clarifies that they’re actually bringing him on to be a part of their social media team instead.

Although it’s evidently not what he wants, the YouTuber still signs the contract. His official position is the team’s “junior associate content assistant.”

After rising to fame by starring in the Disney Channel show, Bizaardvark for two seasons, the 25-year-old began taking to social media platforms like Vine and YouTube to further his popularity.

Ever since 2018 though, Paul’s main focus has been on his professional boxing career. He’s currently 6-0 as a boxer, with four of those six wins coming in the form of a knockout. He has controversially beaten opponents such as former NBA player Nate Robinson and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Most recently, he defeated former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva by unanimous decision in October.

Willie McGinest Writes Lengthy Apology After Nightclub Fight

by

Patriots legend Willie McGinest found himself in quite the dust-up earlier this month at a nightclub in LA. McGinest and his friends were caught on camera beating up a man. The circumstances around the beatdown are still unknown.

Subsequently, footage of the fight was released via TMZ. Furthermore, McGinest was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. It was a horrible look for the NFL Network analyst, who has since taken to Instagram with an apology letter.

Willie McGinest Speaks

Per McGinest:

“First and foremost, I want to offer my deepest apology for my lapse in judgment and behavior on December 9 at a restaurant in West Hollywood. To my family, community, friends, and youth I mentor, please know I feel horrible for my actions and take full responsibility.

[…]

Most of all, I am disappointed in myself, as I know this is an isolated incident and is not reflective of my faith, role as a father, life’s body of work, or the role model I’ve worked hard to become. It is personally devastating that decades of community service, youth engagement, mentoring, and professional development would become an afterthought in a single moment that should have never happened.”

McGinest’s former teammate Tom Brady actually reacted to the post with a heart emoji. Overall, many in the comments section reiterated the fact that McGinest is a good person. For them, this was just a bad moment that shouldn’t define him.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates. Additionally, let us know what you think of this latest sports controversy, in the comments section.
