Chandler Jones Swears That He Was Forced Into A Mental Hospital And Given Unknown Substance

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems that the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders organization cannot get righ. From Jon Gruden to Henry Ruggs III speeding on the highway, and Damon Arnette waving guns on social media, there is always something wrong. Now, there is Chandler Jones’s behavior that has seen him spiral out of control. At the beginning of September Jones claimed the Raiders sent a “crisis team” to his home saying he was in danger.

Jones thought it was nonsense and he remains confused as to why he is not a part of the team. On top of that, he ranted that he did not want to play for the organization, according to TMZ Sports. He went off on Instagram stories, saying, “They won’t let me in the building tho, tryna provoke a n****.” He went on further, “F*** it, I don’t wanna play for the Raiders.” Now, we just learned more from TMZ Sports that he was forced into a mental hospital.

According to the report, Chandler was told by the Las Vegas Fire Department to come with them against his will. In his Twitter post, he shared some journal entries where he said he was injected with a substance he had never seen or heard of before. Additionally, he was transferred to a second mental hospital. Jones also feels that whoever was behind this was not doing it for the right reasons. Finally, he claims that he contacted the Raiders to help him but to no avail. Surely, there will be more to come on this bizarre and messy situation.

Shannon Sharpe Gets Real With Chad Johnson About His Hall Of Fame Hopes

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe is a Hall of Fame tight end who helped revolutionize the game. Prior to him, it was rare for tight ends to be used as full-blown receivers. However, his talent and athleticism had him catching the ball at an impressive rate. Moreover, his quarterback was John Elway, which certainly helped in regards to racking up stats and even a couple of Super Bowls. These days, Sharpe is a commentator on ESPN’s First Take, and even has a new podcast with Chad Johnson.

During his prime, Chad Johnson was an incredible wide receiver with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, his prime didn’t last as long as some people may remember. Additionally, some of his antics, such as wearing a Hall of Fame jacket on the sidelines, had people rolling their eyes. To this day, Johnson isn’t in the Hall of Fame, although he believes he should be. While speaking to Shannon Sharpe, however, he was hit with a harsh dose of reality.

Shannon Sharpe Speaks The Truth

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Shannon was quick to tell Johnson that he will not be making the Hall of Fame. Johnson went on to note that he was the best receiver of his era, or at least one of them. However, Sharpe noted that he just wasn’t at his peak for very long and that his numbers are not up to snuff when compared to his contemporaries. Johnson noted that his numbers are better than Hall of Fame receivers from the 60s and 70s. Despite this, Sharpe made the argument that you have to adjust for the era.

Johnson seemed pretty crushed to hear this from Sharpe. That said, you can’t help but love the honesty here. Otherwise, Johnson would simply be left believing that his HOF day is coming. Who knows, maybe the criteria gets adjusted and he ends up getting in. Stranger things have happened. Let us know what you think of Sharpe’s take, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Reportedly Paid To Clear Out Restaurant For Them & Chiefs Players

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

By now, everyone in the entertainment and sports worlds is aware of the fact that Taylor Swift showed up to a Travis Kelce game on Sunday. Overall, we mean to say she was at a Kansas City Chiefs game. However, she was really there to support Kelce, who is allegedly her new beau. In fact, she got to watch the game with Donna Kelce, the tight end’s mother. It was an indication that things may actually be more serious than the two had previously let on.

Either way, by now, you have probably seen the clips of them leaving the arena together. These immediately went viral, especially with the dirty look that Kelce levied toward the camera. Now, however, new details are coming out in regard to their date. As it turns out, Taylor and Travis paid to have an entire restaurant cleared out. Additionally, numerous players from the Chiefs showed up for the special occasion.

“I just got a call from a friend [in Missouri] and Taylor is going into a place, and she just paid for everybody in the restaurant so they would leave,” a TikToker claimed before deleting their video, per Page Six. “They were eating and the waitress came up to them and said, ‘Here’s the deal. Everything’s paid for, but you have to leave, like, right now.’ How freaking insane is this?”

For anyone at the restaurant, it must have been nice to have your meal paid for. Although, being rushed probably wasn’t the nicest feeling in the world. Given the circumstances and the Chiefs’ 41-10 victory, however, you have to understand. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below.

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Kansas City Chiefs squared off with the lowly Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon (September 24) at home. The fans had plenty to be happy about as the Chiefs ran roughshod over the visitors, decimating them 41-10. Patrick Mahomes found Travis Kelce seven times for 69 yards and a touchdown. He continues to prove why he might be the greatest tight end of all time. While he always shows out, one special fan might have given him a little extra motivation.

Taylor Swift was mentioned a ton throughout the broadcast on FOX since she was sitting alongside Travis’ mother, Donna. The two were repping him in their suite as they got to see the second Chief’s victory. Tons of headlines have surrounded the possible couple and one recently states that the two are seeing where things go. A close source to T Swift says that she thinks Travis is “very charming” but it is nothing serious at the moment. The NFL star is also hoping to see her more and there is one Swiftie who thinks this will be a big deal if they make it official.

Stephen A. Smith Trolls Dallas Cowboys After Brutal Cardinals Loss

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Stephen A. Smith poked fun at the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, after the team’s shocking loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He joked that they’re “the gift that keeps on giving” as he’s continued to doubt their legitimacy as a contender over the years. In a post on social media, he shared a video of himself watching the game while hysterically laughing.

“I keep trying to tell y’all. You don’t wanna listen,” he said, while continuing to mock Cowboys fans for believing their squad to be the best in the NFL. The latest loss comes after a dominant start for Dallas, who beat the New York Giants 40-0 and the New York Jets 30-10.

As for Sunday’s loss, Dak Prescott described it as “humbling” while speaking with the media afterward. “Y’all put us on top of the world,” he said. “We knew who we are. In that same sense, I’m sure the media got what it wanted. For us, there hadn’t been but one undefeated team. It sucks, it’s humbling, but to say it’s a wake-up call, we knew we had a lot of adversity and we just didn’t get it done. It just goes back to myself, the offense, in the red zone. We get better there, we win this game. But we’ve got to fix that area, period.” Prescott and the Cowboys were just 1 of 5 in the red zone throughout the game.

Head coach Mike McCarthy added: “That’s the challenge of this league, you know, every game is so unique to the specific matchups and so forth. This has been a rough week on a lot of fronts. I think the amount of adversity you go through, your preparation process, and we didn’t have enough today. The discipline and the penalties. We have to learn from this. It’s going to be an every-week challenge.” The result also comes after the Cowboys lost star cornerback Trevon Diggs for the season.

Patrick Mahomes Trolls Travis Kelce After Taylor Swift Attends Chiefs-Bears

September 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Patrick Mahomes joked that he felt pressured to help get Travis Kelce a touchdown on Sunday after the Kansas City Chiefs’ 41-10 blowout win over the Chicago Bears. Kelce’s rumored girlfriend, Taylor Swift, watched on from Kelce’s family suite during the game.

“I heard she was in the house,” Mahomes told FOX’s Erin Andrews after the win. “I felt a little bit of pressure. So, I knew I had to get it to Trav. And of course, it was on a route that Travis – he does his own thing and just makes up a route and I throw it to him. I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to.”

Swift’s support at the game comes after weeks of speculation about a romance between Kelce and Swift. Speaking with ESPN, last week, Kelce called the media’s focus on their relationship “hilarious.” “This is like the old school game called telephone, where everybody is just whispering in everybody’s ear,” he said, while adding that “no one actually knows what’s going on.” From there, he revealed that he did slide into Swift’s DMs at one point: “I threw the ball in her court and told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ We’ll see what happens in the near future.” It appears that Swift has followed through on Kelce’s invite.

Usher Announced As Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Headliner

September 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usher has been named as the headline act for Super Bowl LVIII’s Halftime Show. The NFL announced the decision via a skit involving Usher and Kim Kardashian. It will be Usher’s first time headlining the prestigious event. However, he did make a supporting appearance for the Black Eyed Peas when they headlined the Super Bowl XLV show back in 2011. Last year’s Super Bowl halftime show was performed by Rihanna.

However, that news could be disappointing to some. Rumors had swirled that the Super Bowl show was going to be a 90s reunion special. These rumors claimed that the show would feature a trio of the decade’s biggest musical groups. However, sources have said that rumors about Destiny’s Child, The Backstreet Boys, and *NSYNC serving as triple headliners were just fan speculation. According to TMZ‘s source, the groups were not contacted about the idea and no conversations ever took place. The idea appears to have been sparked by the recent *NSYNC reunion at the VMAs, despite the group saying they have no plans for a tour, album, or residency.

Usher To End Vegas Residency

It’s ironic that Super Bowl LVIII is being held in Vegas because that’s the exact place Usher plans to leave at the end of the year. Last month, it was reported that Usher’s “My Way” residency at the MGM Grand would be ending on December 2. Usher had been holding down the Vegas spot since July 2022. However, he will only be away for two months before he returns to play Allegiant Stadium on February 11.

Of course, Usher’s residency was something of a meme this past summer. Multiple videos emerged of Usher serenading numerous famous women who attended his shows. Perhaps the most notable reaction was Winnie Harlow literally jumping in her boyfriend’s lap to ward off the crooner. Elsewhere, an Usher show was the setting for the whole drama surrounding Keke Palmer being slut-shamed by her boyfriend Darius Jackson due to her Usher concert fit.

Deion Sanders Labels Blowout Loss To Oregon “A Good, Old-Fashioned Butt-Kicking”

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders spoke candidly after his Colorado team’s 42-6 blowout loss to Oregon on Saturday. He described the game as a “good, old-fashioned butt-kicking” and made no excuses for his squad. Colorado was ranked No. 19 coming into the contest while Oregon was positioned at No. 10.

“A good, old-fashioned butt-kicking. No excuses,” Sanders said afterward, according to The Athletic‘s David Ubben. “Their coaches did a good job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn’t.” From there, he addressed his confidence in the game prior to kickoff. On that note, he added: “People around the country will say this is what they needed to humble themselves. We weren’t arrogant. We’re confident people. Our confidence offends their insecurity.”

Deion Sanders Arrives At Autzen Stadium

Oregon won’t be the last test for Colorado. The team is set to take on No. 5 USC, next week, on September 30. Since taking over as head coach, Deion Sanders has brought historic excitement to the Colorado program. His son, Shedeur Sanders, is the starting quarterback for the team and has helped lead them to a 4-1 start with victories over TCU, Nebraska, and rival Colorado State. For their latest game, the team was without their star wide receiver/cornerback, Travis Hunter.

Hunter went down with a lacerated liver injury suffered during the game against Colorado State, last week. “Travis is always missed. He’s the best dern player in college football. That’s like you writing an article and your pen is missing,” Deion Sanders said of Hunter’s absence. He expects Hunter to miss three weeks with the injury. For Oregon, quarterback Bo Nix was instrumental in the victory, completing 28 of his 33 passes for a total of 276 passing yards and three touchdowns. Be on the lookout for further updates on Colorado’s season on HotNewHipHop.

49ers-Giants Fan Fight Video Emerges Online

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Footage of a bloody altercation in the stands of Levi’s Stadium following this week’s Thursday Night Football game has emerged online. The fight between a handful of Niners and Giants fans reportedly began after a woman was hit by a beer thrown by trash-talking fans. However, the witness who told this to TMZ did not indicate which fanbase threw the beer. The Niners had just stomped the visiting Giants 30-12 minutes before the fight broke out.

Footage of the fight, released by TMZ, shows a chaotic carnage erupting in the stands. One Niners 49ers fan can be seen with a bloody nose. Elsewhere in the footage, a Giants fan can be seen hitting a Niners fan with a haymaker that leaves him with a nasty cut above his eye. A witness claims that deputies and venue security arrived at the scene but were too late to break up the fight. Furthermore, Santa Clara PD told TMZ that the incident is being investigated.

Woman Thrown Down Stairs During Separate Niners Brawl

However, the bloody post-game brawl was not the only one to occur during Thursday Night Football. TMZ also acquired footage of a separate fight that occurred between a group of Niners fans earlier in the game. In the brief clip, two women in Niners jerseys are seen arguing and fighting. A man in a Richard Sherman jersey then enters and grabs one of the women by her hair. He then proceeds to throw her down a nearby flight of stairs. This prompted several more fans to get involved. Despite this, the incident did not appear to cause too much disruption.

In more positive 49ers news, the team is now 3-0 for the first time since 2019. As a result, head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch both received multi-year contract extensions this week. Both Shanahan and Lynch have been with the Niners since 2017. Since arriving at Levi’s Stadium, the tandem has pushed the team to 52 wins and a Super Bowl appearance. Lynch’s new contract runs through 2024 while Shanahan’s keeps him in the Bay Area until 2025. The Niners next face the Cardinals on October 1.

Trent Williams Not Being Ejected From Thursday Night Football Defended By NFL

September 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The NFL has defended the decision made by the refs during Thursday Night Football not to eject Niners tackle Trent Williams. “We ended up looking at the video we had available to us. And we just didn’t see anything that rose to the level of flagrant, which is the standard that we have to apply to disqualify the player. We couldn’t confirm that 100 percent from the standpoint of was it truly a closed fist with a strike. We just couldn’t determine that.”

The incident in question came as the Niners burned clock in the final seconds of the first half. A scuffle broke out between Williams and Giants defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson. Williams appeared to hit Robinson’s facemask with a closed-fist punch, which would typically warrant an ejection. “Just mixing it up. A lot of tempers flaring out there, it’s a competitive game and sometimes things boil over a little bit,” Williams said of the incident. Furthermore, Williams also called it a “love tap”. The Niners went on to earn a convincing 30-12 win.

Away from the halftime unpleasantness, there were several famous faces in the crowd. Rapper Lil Durk came away from the win with a game-worn jersey from wideout Deebo Samuel. The Chicago rapper hit up the talented wide receiver after the game, posing for pictures on the field with Samuel before hugging it out and leaving with the jersey. Durk’s partner India Royale also joined the pair for a couple of photos. The game took place at the Niners’ home ground of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Furthermore, the game served as the Niners’ home opener.

Samuel had 129 yards and a touchdown on six catches. The win took the team to 3-0, their first three-game perfect start since Samuel’s rookie year in 2019. Brock Purdy continued to prove that he is him for the Niners, putting up 310 passing yards and two touchdowns. As for the Giants, they fall to 1-2 as their 2022 breakout continues to look like more and more of a fluke season. Daniel Jones only managed 137 yards through the air. The Niners next face the Cardinals.
