Cardinals Tease Return Of Kyler Murray

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Arizona Cardinals have teased the return of starting quarterback Kyler Murray on social media. The post shows Murray stood within a mockup of a music platform, with the track playing listed as “I’m Back” by “K.1.”. Murray has been sidelined by injury since December 2022. In his absence, the Cardinals have struggled behind the quarterback play of Joshua Dobbs, who was recently traded to the Vikings. Murray is expected to start against the Falcons this weekend.

Despite this, head coach Jonathan Gannon made no assertions that the only issue for 1-8 Cardinals was at QB. “We’ve got to play clean football in all three phases. We’ve got to do our job on defense and special teams. It doesn’t matter who is playing quarterback,” Gannon told reporters. Last week was an especially low point for the team. They lost 27-0 to the Browns and managed just 58 yards of offense behind rookie Clayton Tune.

Falcons Looking To Spoil Murray’s Return

However, the Falcons aren’t exactly flying high either. 4-5 on the season, Atlanta have lost five of their last seven and have dropped winnable games in back-to-back weeks. “We’re not going to sugarcoat it. You can be frustrated. You can be mad. You’re going to feel all the emotions by it. But we have to go do something about it. As bad as it feels — nobody’s celebrating being 4-5 — but the reality is when you have perspective, after we get these corrections and assess everything, we do still control our own destiny. We have half a season,” head coach Arthur Smith said.

Murray’s counterpart for Atlanta will be veteran Taylor Heinicke, who remains QB1 for the Falcons. However, Heinicke spoke about doing his best to support benched sophomore Desmond Ridder. “Me and Des have talked privately. I’ve told him everything he’s been doing since he was starting, running the meetings, keep doing. Everything. I think that’s going to help him in the long run. He has been great, the same Des. It speaks to his character,” Heinicke said.

Deion Sanders Says He “Loves” His Players Fighting During Practice

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders said on his radio show this week that he “loves” his players fighting during practices. “We’ve had a great week of practice. We had a couple of fights, which I like. It’s a great thing. I always want to know who won because I keep records. I don’t break them up. Some coaches break them up. I don’t. Some guys fight hoping for the break up. No, we’re going to let you go. So, we did have a couple fights this week, and I love it. They’ve been getting after it. It’s almost like a rededication. It’s almost like a refocus. I love where we are. We’ve had great practices this week, offense, defense, as well as special teams,” Sanders said.

However, it’s not the first time that Sanders has expressed this opinion. Back in August, Sanders expressed his disappointment that several players did not get involved in a fight that broke out during practice. In a video posted to YouTube by his family’s media company, Sanders could be seen telling at least two players “If one fights, we all fight”.

Colorado Need Two Wins To Go Bowling

Great practices aside, all is not well in Boulder. The Buffs dropped their third consecutive game last weekend, falling below .500 for the first time this season. It came as a late rally against Oregon State fell short and the Buffs were knocked off 26-19. It’s now been a full month since Colorado’s last win, a 27-24 victory over Arizona State. Furthermore, the bowl window is closing bit by bit. Colorado, who are 4-5, need two wins from their last three games to be bowl-eligible.

Unfortunately for the Buffs, they have a rough schedule to close out the Pac-12 season. Up next is #21 Arizona, who are coming off three consecutive victories against ranked opponents. Then there is Washington State, who are 4-5 after a white-hot start to the season. Finally, they end the season against #18 Utah, who are 7-2. While Sanders has said the team isn’t thinking about bowl season, it would be an incredibly disappointing end to a season that started off so well. The Wildcats are 10.5 favorites against the Buffs this weekend.

Colorado Rose Bowl Theft Reportedly Committed By Recruits Visiting UCLA

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to The Coach JB Show, two high school players on a recruiting visit at UCLA are reportedly responsible for the theft of items belonging to visiting Colorado Buffaloes players. Jason Brown, who appeared on Netflix’s Last Chance U as the head coach of Independence Community College in Kansas, claims that two students from Beaumont High School had been arrested by Pasadena Police. Furthermore, Brown claimed that the information came directly from the players’ coach.

Pasadena Police have confirmed that two underage suspects were detained over the theft. At least three Colorado players had jewelry stolen, while other items such as headphones and cash were also taken from the visitors’ locker room at the Rose Bowl. “The Pasadena Police Department would like to thank those who reported leads to our tip line. The information and support are invaluable and play a crucial role in helping us ensure safety and security in our community. Our detectives worked diligently to follow up on all leads, which resulted in the quick execution of search warrants. The investigation will be ongoing. More information will follow as available,” the department said in a recent statement.

Colorado Eye Tough End To Season

Robbery aside, all is not well in Boulder, Colorado. The Buffs dropped their third consecutive game last weekend, falling below .500 for the first time this season. It came as a late rally against Oregon State fell short and the Buffs were knocked off 26-19. It’s now been a full month since Colorado’s last win, a 27-24 victory over Arizona State. Furthermore, the bowl window is closing bit by bit. Colorado, who are 4-5, need two wins from their last three games to be bowl-eligible.

Travis Kelce Refuses To Say If He’s Joining Taylor Swift For South American Eras Tour Concerts

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce had a fun little exchange with his brother this week about whether he would be hitting up the Eras Tour in South America. However, Traylor fans will be left disappointed as Kelce refused to give a definitive answer. “I might just say f-ck it and just go somewhere nice, I don’t know. My skin’s getting real pale so I gotta go somewhere sunny,” Travis said on New Heights when asked by his brother if he had plans for the Chiefs’ bye week. When Travis added that he wanted to be “closer to the equator”, Jason shot back with a “South of the equator?”

Taylor Swift, Travis’ girlfriend, will be in South America for the next few weeks for the final 2023 shows on the Eras Tour. November 9-11 see her in Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, she will spend November 17-19 in Rio and November 24-26 in São Paulo. There had been speculation as to whether Kelce would join Swift in at least Argentina, given his convenient bye week. The other dates seem improbable given the Chiefs games on November 20 and 26.

Is The Swift Effect A Real Thing For Travis Kelce?

Meanwhile, a conspiracy continues to persist amongst Swifties and NFL fans that Taylor Swift is having a very real impact on Travis Kelce’s season. The Chiefs have now played nine games this season, amassing a 7-2 record. Swift has attended four games this season, half of the games Kelce has played in so far (he missed week 1 due to injury).

When Swift is in the stands, Kelce has 432 yards and 2 touchdowns (108 per game). However, when Swift is absent, Kelce has just 165 yards and two short-yardage touchdowns (41.25 per game). Furthermore, the Chiefs are 4-0 with Swift attending but suffered a blowout loss to the Broncos when she skipped that road game. Does this mean that Taylor Swift makes Travis Kelce a better football player? No, of course not. However, it does make for some fun statistical analysis for Chiefs fans to mull over during the bye.

Shedeur And Shilo Sanders Not Declaring For 2024 NFL Draft, Father Deion Claims

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders has announced that neither of his sons will be declaring for the 2024 NFL draft despite being eligible. “They’re gonna come out the same year, next year. They’re not trying to leave daddy this year, by the way,” Sanders told The Dan Patrick Show this week. Shedeur, Colorado’s starting quarterback is a junior whose ability to thrive in the Pac-12 has seen his draft cap skyrocket. Many people see him as a first-round QB4 in 2024. Meanwhile, Shilo is seen as a mid-round safety who can play the 2024 college season due to the COVID waiver.

While both prospects are intriguing in their own ways, it’s clear that Deion wants more year of them at Colorado. If they don’t defy their father and jump to the NFL, that means they will play a season in the Big 12 when Colorado changes conferences next year. Furthermore, that will mark Shedeur’s third conference and Shilo’s fourth. Next year’s conference schedule sees Colorado play Arizona, Texas Tech, Kansas, UCF, Utah, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Cincinnati.

Sanders & Colorado Continue To Struggle

However, all is not well in Boulder, Colorado. Colorado dropped their third consecutive game, falling below .500 for the first time this season. It came as a late rally against Oregon State fell short and the Buffs were knocked off 26-19. It’s now been a full month since Colorado’s last win, a 27-24 victory over Arizona State. Furthermore, the bowl window is closing bit by bit. Colorado, who are 4-5, need two wins from their last three games to be bowl-eligible.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Feeds His Donkey On Manningcast: Watch

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The New York Jets and Los Angeles Chargers squared off last night, November 6, on Monday Night Football. This game was on primetime due to Aaron Rodgers’ arrival to the team this past offseason. However, the night matchups the Jets have been featured in have been lessened in his absence. It showed because, with Zach Wilson at the helm, their offense could only muster two field goals. This led to one of the more boring games of the season as the Chargers were able to win 27-6 even with their poor offensive performance as well. Many casual fans were disappointed, but not Arnold Schwarzenegger.

If you wanted some sort of excitement during this snoozefest of a game, you should have checked out the Manningcast. This program began three years ago with retired quarterbacks and brothers, Peyton and Eli Manning. On top of bringing some expert live analysis, they add some extra flare to their broadcast. They do that by bringing on some special guests to watch the Monday Night games with. This time it happened to be Arnold.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Brings Some Comic Relief To A Boring Game

If you are a die-hard fan of the famous actor and bodybuilder, you might know he is a Chargers fan. The cover photo at the top of the article, shows him attending a game back in 2007 when they were still the San Diego Chargers. Manningcast has brought us some standout moments in the past and this one might take the cake as the most memorable. Before heading to the commercial, Arnold is seen feeding his pet donkey. According to Uproxx, her name is Lulu and he got her back during the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Eli makes a hilarious joke about Peyton to add the comedic tone of the moment. “That donkey looks like you eating, Peyton.”

Aaron Rodgers Says He Might Be Returning From His Achilles Injury In “A Few Weeks:” Watch

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When Aaron Rodgers went down with his unfortunate achilles tear everyone thought that the New York Jets season was lost. Even after the highly maligned Zach Wilson stepped in and led them to a thrilling win over the division-rival Buffalo Bills, no one was convinced. However, the defense has been pretty much lights out and Zach has made some plays. This was good enough for them to go on a three-game winning streak. They did come back to earth against the Los Angeles Chargers last night, losing 27-6 and dropping to 4-4.

But, the season is still far from over for these Jets. They are in the thick of the playoff race. They are just a few spots behind the Cincinnati Bengals for the final wildcard spot. On top of that, multiple people have claimed that if they remain in the hunt, Rodgers would try to rush back and play. It would be quite a miracle, though. TMZ Sports says that the fastest anyone has recovered from an achilles tear was Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers. That took around five and a half months. But, Aaaron has been making serious progress and apparently, it could be in no time that we see him take the field.

Aaron Rodgers Teases A Possible Comeback

Right after the game, the players ran to centerfield to chat. Two of those were Aaron and Chargers stud safety, Derwin James. He asked the injured quarterback when he would be coming back right away. Interestingly, Aaron had this to say to him, “Give me a few weeks.” With the cameras rolling this could all be a ruse, but with his recovery process maybe he is telling the truth.

What are your initial thoughts on Aaron Rodgers saying he might be returning to action in “a few weeks?” Do you believe him, or was he just being aware that the cameras were on him? If he comes back, will the New York Jets be a threat in the playoffs? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Aaron Rodgers, as well as everything else going on around the sports world.

Taylor Swift Invited Chiefs Wives And Girlfriends Over To Watch Their Game In Germany

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even though the Taylor Swift sightings at Kansas City Chiefs games have seemed to dwindle, she is still doing what she can to support. This past Sunday marked an important day in the NFL’s history, as they continue to expand the game to other countries. We have seen some great matchups take place in London, now we can expect more in Frankfurt, Germany.

The first one to take place happened to be the Chiefs and the “visiting” Miami Dolphins. It was a bit of a snoozer at the end of the first half. Travis Kelce and his team led 21-0. Then, Miami finally began to wake up and cut to seven heading into the fourth quarter. The Dolphins had a shot to tie with around a minute remaining but squandered the opportunity. Kelce was not his normal dominant self, hauling in just three catches for 14 yards. However, it was still good enough for him to be the leading receiver in franchise history, surpassing their former tight end, Tony Gonzalez.

Taylor Swift Continues To Ingratiate Herself

As we said, Taylor did not make the long flight over to Europe to watch her man play, but she did host a watch party. According to TMZ Sports, the superstar pop singer was at her pad in New York for it. Brittany Mahomes was also in attendance. The whole group even went to a place called Casa Cipriani to celebrate the thrilling win. Love can be sent from afar too ya know.

What are your initial thoughts on Taylor Swift inviting some of the Chiefs players’ significant others over to watch the game in Germany? Is this a serious step in her and Travis Kelce’s relationship? Do you actually buy that the tight end plays better when she is in attendance? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
