Skip Bayless Calls Out Mac Jones For Being A Dirty Player

by

Skip Bayless is easily one of the most vocal people in the entire sports world. He is constantly delivering hot takes on all things sports. He typically gets to do this on Undisputed where he sits across from the likes of Shannon Sharpe. Overall, he is a polarizing figure and that will never change.

More recently, Bayless has come under fire for his treatment of Sharpe. Many have taken issue with how he tries to provoke his co-host. For the most part, Bayless has not addressed any of this, and it is likely that he never will.

Today, however, Bayless and Sharpe had a new task at hand as they discussed the likes of Mac Jones. Jones is not having a particularly great season in New England. In fact, he is now being called a dirty player. This is all thanks to plays like the one down below.

Skip Bayless Reacts

Subsequently, Bayless had an interesting reaction to all of this. As you can see down below, he is shocked that such a young player would stoop this low. He is even more shocked that a quarterback is gaining a dirty reputation. For Bayless, this is almost unheard of.

“I have never, ever heard of a quarterback, A QUARTERBACK, who has been branded as a cheap shot artist and a dirty player,” he said. “What quarterback have you ever known who could even put himself in position to make dirty plays? Somehow this kid pulls it off and this wasn’t a first. It’s like Grayson Allen, who couldn’t keep himself from tripping players.”

Jones is developing one of the worst reputations you can have, and that is not going to bold well for his future. Hopefully, he can learn from his mistakes and start playing with a bit more respect.

Shannon Sharpe Reacts To JJ Watt’s Retirement

by

Shannon Sharpe was one of the best tight ends to ever play the game of football. If you love football, then Sharpe is someone you should respect. He changed the position forever, and overall, he is one of the legends of the game who is arguably top 3 or 5 at his position.

These days, Sharpe can be seen on FS1’s Undisputed where he sits across from Skip Bayless. While these two tend to bicker a lot, there is no doubt that they have some interesting debates. Today, however, they reflected on a current NFL star, JJ Watt.

This is all because Watt revealed that he was going to retire from football at the end of this season. In the tweet down below, you can see that Watt signaled that this weekend was his last ever NFL home game. Overall, it was a shocking admission, although one that is highly respected.

Shannon Sharpe Pays Homage

Sharpe is someone who understands just how hard it is to retire. As a result, he respects Watt wanting to call it quits for his family. Additionally, Sharpe noted just how amazing Watt was and how he will likely go to the Hall of Fame one day.

“You can make the case he was the best player in football for some time. An impeccable career. I don’t think anybody saw THIS. Obviously, he’s going to Canton,” Sharpe stated.

Watt will certainly be going to the Hall of Fame, and it is likely he will be first-ballot. After all, he won three Defensive Player of the Year awards, and as Sharpe said, he was the league’s best player at one point. Hopefully, the Hall of Fame committee feels the same way.

Let us know what you think of Watt’s career, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the NFL.

JJ Watt Reveals His Plans To Retire

by

JJ Watt has consistently been one of the best defensive players in the entire league. During his time with the Houston Texans, Watt was known for his MVP-level play and incredible tipped passes at the line of scrimmage. Furthermore, Watt has been known as an amazing teammate who is always there to help people.

One can just look at his charity work in Texas when that horrific hurricane hit a few years ago. Watt was able to raise millions of dollars, and he became a hero in the community. Overall, there is no doubt that Watt is an amazing guy who is beloved by all.

JJ Watt Surprises Fans

Over the last couple of seasons, Watt has been playing for the Arizona Cardinals. Unfortunately, his time with the Cardinals hasn’t been exceptional. Regardless, the fanbase loves him as he has continuously been one of the best professionals you could ever ask for.

Today, however, Watt threw fans for a loop when he revealed that this is going to be the final year of his career. “Koa’s first ever NFL game. My last ever NFL home game,” Watt wrote. “My heart is filled with nothing but love and gratitude. It’s been an absolute honor and a pleasure.”

Needless to say, Watt is making it clear that he will not be playing in the NFL past 2023. This is definitely a sad day for NFL fans as it brings in the end of an era. In the tweets below, you can see just how much respect Watt commanded during his time in the league.

Watt is making this decision for his family, and you can’t blame him. The longer you play in the NFL, the worse your quality of life is long-term. That said, Watt is making sure he will be there for his wife and child.

Let us know what you think about this decision, in the comments below.

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.

Check out Josh Jacobs’ comments on the Raiders’ loss below.

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.”
