Joe Mixon Investigated After Child Was Shot Near His Home: Report

by

Details regarding an incident at Joe Mixon’s residence are scarce, but outlets are delivering information in real time. The Cincinnati Bengals running back isn’t a stranger to legal trouble, but some altercation at or near his home turned the location into a crime scene. According to NBC News, yesterday (March 6), police were dispatched to the scene a little before 8:30 p.m. It was there that officers found an injured child.

The outlet further reported the unnamed minor was quickly sent to the city’s children’s hospital. The child’s injuries were also listed as non-life-threatening; however, the extent of those wounds is unclear. At the moment, speculation about the 26-year-old NFL star’s involvement in the case has run rampant as police search for answers.

A Neighbor Gives Insight

Several reports state that someone called the authorities after shots were fired at Mixon’s home. A search warrant was said to have been executed and police “were able to gather evidence that will be part of this active investigation.” A reporter for FOX 19 News tweeted: “Neighbor of Joe Mixon says shots were fired at high school teens who were playing a game of ‘NERF wars’ outside a home next door to where Mixon lives and that the shots came from his house. Unclear who fired the gun.”

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying, “Our detectives will continue to review this evidence diligently and conduct interviews.” Last month, Mixon’s name and in headlines after he was accused of pointing a gun at a woman. It was also alleged that he threatened the purported victim, but later, the charges against him were dismissed. The residence in this incident is where that encounter with the woman reportedly occurred. It has been stated that the case is being reassigned, but the current status hasn’t been updated.

Who Fired The Shots?

Again, details are filtering in but seem muddled. It is unclear if Mixon was occupying the residence at the time, as is his relationship with the injured minor. Mixon has yet to release a statement about what happened, and the public awaits authorities to name a suspect.

Tom Brady Breaks Silence On Recent Dolphins Rumor

by

Tom Brady is someone who always seems to be the subject of rumors. Overall, it makes sense as to why this would be the case when you consider who he is. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is a legend, and it feels like he is never going to stop playing football. Although he retired for a second time this offseason, fans don’t believe him. This is fair considering he unretired the first time. While Brady has claimed that there is a finality to his decision, the rumor mill is still turning.

For instance, on The Rich Eisen Show, there was a rumor floating around that Brady wanted to come back. In fact, he would be looking to play for the Miami Dolphins, whom he had been connected to in the past. These rumors felt real due to the fact that it is hard to imagine Brady out of the league. Furthermore, Brady’s silence on the matter was truly deafening. However, Brady has since emerged from hibernation to give fans an update on what’s going on.

Tom Brady Speaks

Simply put, you should not expect Brady to be back in the league, anytime in the immediate future. In the tweet above, Brady wrote “Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has never adopted a 2-month-old kitten for their daughter.” Brady adopted two siamese cats this offseason, and they are clearly taking up a lot of his time. Although, he is probably mostly joking here as we don’t think cats would be the determining factor in him coming back. Regardless, Brady seems to want to relax, and playing football again goes against that. Only time will tell whether or not he honors his initial decision.

Brady is 45 years old and is coming off of a season where he was not particularly good. Although he had some flashes of brilliance, retirement does seem like the best option for him at this point. Based on his recent comments, it seems like he is aware of that. Let us know what you think of Brady’s latest tweet, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Ravens Make Huge Lamar Jackson Decision

by

Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL. Overall, he has been extremely fun to watch over these past few years. He is a dual threat who can run the ball while also slinging through the air. However, injuries derailed his last two seasons when he was seemingly on track to become MVP of the league. Unfortunately, the Baltimore Ravens have been using these injuries against him. This is because, since last year, Jackson has been trying to secure a long-term deal with fully guaranteed money.

In the eyes of the Ravens, Jackson is not worth a fully guaranteed deal. Although, they do believe he should be paid like the best quarterback in the league. Regardless, this discrepancy has created a huge rift between Jackson and the front office. Today, the Ravens needed to reach a deal with Jackson, otherwise, their only option would be to franchise tag him. Ultimately, that is exactly what they did, although they used the non-exclusive tag. General Managers Eric DeCosta subsequently issued a statement claiming that they are committed to finding a solution with Lamar.

Lamar Jackson Franchise Tag

“Having not yet reached a long-term deal with Lamar Jackson, we will use the franchise tag,” DeCosta wrote. “There have been many instances across the league and in Baltimore when a player has been designated with the franchise tag and signed a long-term deal that same year. We will continue to negotiate in good faith with Lamar, and we are hopeful that we can strike a long-term deal that is fair to both Lamar and the Ravens. Our ultimate goal is to build a championship team with Lamar Jackson leading the way for many years to come.”

Now, Jackson can negotiate deals with other teams. From there, if Jackson signs an offer sheet, the Ravens can either match the deal or give Jackson up for two first-round picks. At this point, it seems like keeping Jackson is the best option, but you truly never know. Let us know what you think is going to happen, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the NFL.

Brett Favre’s Lawyer Thinks Shannon Sharpe & Pat McAfee Will Lose Defamation Case

by

Brett Favre has been accused of some very damaging crimes as of late. Favre allegedly conspired with the government of Mississippi to divert welfare funds. Overall, these funds allegedly went to creating a volleyball facility at his daughter’s university. There is an ongoing investigation into these accusations, although Favre has maintained his innocence. At this point, it remains to be seen whether or not he will be charged with anything. For now, there are no plans to charge him, but of course, that could change.

Additionally, Favre has launched a defamation lawsuit against the likes of Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharpe. This is due to their coverage of the subject, which Favre believes has been less than favorable. Favre and his lawyer Eric Herschmann are confident that this is worthy of a lawsuit. In fact, Herschmann went on Crain & Company on the Daily Wire where he made the claim that this case is a “slam dunk.” Herschmann said that while Sharpe hasn’t spoken about the lawsuit, McAfee certainly has. The lawyer thinks this has made their case stronger and that McAfee is digging his own grave.

Brett Favre Is Confident

“Shannon Sharpe, since he’d been sued, has been quiet. Pat McAfee keeps talking about it. In all of my years as an attorney and being a prosecutor previously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a defendant build a case against themselves,” Herschmann said. “His defense was ‘Oh, I threw in the word allegedly’ but two things is; the things that we cite, he didn’t throw in the world ‘allegedly,’ and secondly if he did any research or had a lawyer looking, that’s not really a defense.” This is an interesting analysis of the situation, although it is up to the court to make that final decision.

The entire Favre-Mississippi saga has been fascinating to watch. Many on social media have tried to bring attention to the case, although there is little that can be said or done right now. The investigation remains ongoing, and many are curious to see how it all plays out. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Tom Brady Flexes His Massive Yacht

by

Tom Brady is officially a retired man. Although there are now rumors that he may go and play for the Miami Dolphins, there is no doubt that he is having a great time on his own. After 23 years in the NFL, it is about time that Brady just lives the good life. He is 45 years old, and now, he is even an eligible bachelor. Consequently, Brady should be begging for some time to himself. After all, what else does he have left to accomplish? He has won a total of seven Super Bowl titles, and there is nothing for him to prove to anyone.

Overall, Brady could go off and do anything he pleases. He recently told Fox Sports that he would only start for them in 2024. This means Brady has a year and a half left before he has any professional commitments. According to TMZ, Brady is taking advantage of this. The legendary NFL superstar was seen cruising the waters of Florida this week. In fact, he was doing so on his massive yacht, worth $6 million.

Tom Brady Living Life

According to the outlet, this yacht is called the Wajer 77. The name makes sense when you consider how it is a total of 77 feet long. Moreover, this entire yacht has room for nine guests if they were to sleep on the sees. Overall, it is quite the ship that Brady will definitely be enjoying over the coming years. Additionally, he has given it a very interesting name. The boat is called “Tw12ve Angels” which is a very obvious reference to the number he wore his entire career.

Whether or not Brady will go on any long-term sailing excursions, remains to be seen. However, Florida is definitely a great place for Brady to begin his boating journey. The Florida Keys are gorgeous, and with Spring and Summer on the horizon, he will have plenty of opportunities to get on the water. Let us know what you think of Brady’s yacht, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Jackson Mahomes Allegedly Kissed Restaurant Owner Without Consent

by

Jackson Mahomes is the viral brother of Patrick Mahomes. Overall, Jackson is someone who has received a ton of criticism over the years. This is due to his antics on the sidelines at Mahomes’ games. Furthermore, Jackson’s attempts to get attention on social media have been largely seen as “clout chasing.” He is a controversial figure, to say the least, and some feel like he goes too far. Now, Jackson is being hit with some very serious allegations.

According to the Kansas City Star, Mahomes was out at the Aspens Restaurant and Lounge last Saturday. While there, he allegedly forced himself on the establishment’s owner. In the video below, you can see Mahomes kiss the woman while grabbing her by the neck. Furthermore, he allegedly pushed a 19-year-old waiter. “He forcibly kissed me out of nowhere,” the owner told the KC Star, “and I’m telling him, pushing him off saying ‘what are you doing?’ and then he proceeded to do it two more times where the last time I was pushing him off and I can see on the cameras that somebody was outside the office door and I was yelling for them to come help because he’s big and massive.” 

Jackson Mahomes On Video

The alleged interaction took place in Overland Park which is near Kansas City. Subsequently, the Overland Park Police Department is currently in the midst of investigating the allegations. Moreover, Jackson Mahomes’ lawyer has made a statement on the matter. “We have provided law enforcement with the tools and evidence they need to evaluate the claims against Jackson,” Brandan Davies explained. “Every interaction between people needs to be placed in the proper context. Releasing a short clip of any video does not provide proper context. We have faith in the process and look forward to a swift resolution of the matter.”

At the time of writing this, the story is still developing. There is a lot that is unknown at this time. Additionally, Mahomes has yet to make any of his own comments on the matter. Let us know what you think of the situation, down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Derek Carr Signs With The Saints, Fans React

by

Derek Carr was one of the biggest free-agent quarterbacks in the NFL this offseason. Overall, there are some other interesting storylines to watch. For instance, Aaron Rodgers is someone who has been teasing a decision in regard to the Green Bay Packers. Moreover, Lamar Jackson and Daniel Jones are looking for massive contracts. However, if they do not get them, they could very well end up on other teams. This is all going down as Carr has been trying to find a new team to play for.

Out of all of these quarterbacks, Carr was the readiest to make a decision. He was a free agent and could go as he pleases. In fact, there had been all sorts of reports about Carr considering the New Orleans Saints. Overall, they are a franchise that has been in need of a new franchise QB, and Carr seemed to fit the bill. Although he hasn’t won a ton in terms of the postseason, he is still a top-15 quarterback in the league. Consequently, the Saints had some mutual interest.

Derek Carr Makes A Decision

Today, Carr took to Twitter where he posted a video of Tyrann Mathieu on the field prior to a Saints game. This pretty well confirmed the fact that Carr would be signing with the team. Subsequently, the Saints have some decisions to make as it pertains to Jameis Winston. They could trade him or just release him entirely. Moreover, they also have to think about Andy Dalton, who is also on the roster. Either way, it is confirmed that Carr is now their quarterback of the future, and it will be interesting to see how this goes.

As you can see in the tweets below, fans had some split reactions to this latest development. Overall, there seems to be this sense that Carr is making a lateral move and that he cannot win anything with the Saints. However, there are quite a few Saints fans out there who are very happy about their new QB. No matter what, this is a far cry from the days of Drew Brees. Let us know what you think of the move, in the comments below.

Reggie Bush’s Wife Lilit Shares Dripping Wet Dance Video: “Happy Birthday Daddy”

by

Birthdays are certainly reason enough to celebrate. For those who happen to be in love, however, going all out with romantic (and sometimes sexy) presents for your partner is never a bad idea. This was advice clearly given to Lilit Avagayn before her husband, Reggie Bush, turned 38 earlier this week. In honour of her man, the dance choreographed an intimate routine to Chris Brown’s “Under The Influence,” sure to leave him tantalized.

“Happy Birthday Daddy,” she wrote in the caption of her commemorative Instagram post. “I dedicate this dance to you, my love. Sometimes mommy dances,” the brunette beauty added. The post was later edited to address the hate comments that have been pouring in. Due to the intimate nature of her routine, and the water pouring down making it all the more inappropriate, many viewers were left uncomfortable by Avagayn’s antics.

Alexa, Play “Birthday Sex”

“There are some things you just gotta keep between you and your husband,” one person wrote. “Why do we have to see you dedicating your body to him?” Clapping back at comments like this, Bush’s wife wrote, “I’m a dancer! I wanted to do a dance and post it on MY social media and dedicate the dance to my husband. How can anyone be mad at that? Just enjoy the performance.”

Thankfully, not all the replies to Avagayn’s birthday tribute were negative. “That is awesome that you know how to keep the spark going in your marriage and that you still find ways to let him know he is the one,” one person praised the 35-year-old. “I am surprised at some responses when this looks like the choreography from many dance videos we see on social media. Also when singers do this in their videos it is art.”

Reggie and Lilit’s Life Together

As TMZ notes, Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagayn tied the knot nearly a decade ago, in 2014. They share three young children together, Agyemang, Briseis, and Uriah, all pictured with their parents above. Do you think the birthday dance video was too much for Instagram? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Deion Sanders Wants Colorado Band To Adopt HBCU Sound & Style

by

Deion Sanders recently met with the Colorado Buffaloes’ band director to adopt a style more akin to HBCUs. Moreover, many expressed anger and disappointment when Sanders made the call to step down as coach of a historically black university. However, it seems he wants to inject that experience into his current tenure coaching a new football team. Furthermore, Jackson State fans and players were familiar with his line of “Now give me my theme music” at the end of his pregame speech. Now, he suggested that Colorado adopt some of that same sound both on and off the field to boost morale.

“At HBCUs, it’s kind of traditional that the bands kind of coincides,” he expressed in a YouTube video from Well Off Media. “I know it’s a difference, but it don’t have to be. We like one big happy family. We’re probably gonna have a new theme song that I want you guys to get and it’s not hard. And I think you can knock it out of the park. It’ll take it to a whole new level when the band is able to execute it. That’s going to be good. Really, really good.”

Deion Sanders Looks To Move Colorado Band In HBCU Direction

Moreover, the NFL star’s new theme would reportedly replace “Here I Go” by rapper Mystikal, although it’s unclear if it will still be incorporated. While he asked for the new music to be played for the group in the video, the audio was removed from the clip. Still, it might not be enough to distract from current hot water he’s in concerning his comments on recruiting. In particular, people thought his discrimination in picking quarterbacks versus defensive players was close-minded.

“Well, we have different attributes,” he remarked on the Rich Eisen Show. “Smart, tough, fast, disciplined with character. Now, quarterbacks are different. We want mother, father. Dual parent. We want that kid to be 3.5 [GPA] and up. Because he has to be smart. Not bad decisions off the field, at all. Because he has to be a leader of men. Defensive linemen is totally opposite. Single mama, trying to get it, he’s on free lunch. I’m talking about just trying to make it. He’s trying to rescue mama. Like mama barely made the flight. And I want him to just go get it.“ As many pointed out, this narrative is unfortunately common among coaches. Regardless of his missteps, check out the full video above and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Deion Sanders.

The Worst Takes Skip Bayless Has Ever Had

by

Skip Bayless is known for being controversial. It’s what brought in viewers to First Take and does the same with Undisputed with Shannon Sharpe now. Everyone tunes in to see what kind of nonsense he’ll spout about the latest sports news.

Skip Bayless has 3.2 million Twitter followers (and doesn’t follow anyone at all on the site) and a majority of them aren’t there for his wisdom and advice. Quite the contrary, actually, as many of them are likely there for his wild takes.

Over the years, Bayless has put a lot on Twitter and said a lot on his various platforms. He has bad takes quite often, but here are a few of the most outrageous takes he’s ever had.

Skip Bayless’ Twitter is full of poor takes

How can the NFL cancel the game after Damar Hamlin’s injury?

Bayless took to Twitter amidst the Damar Hamlin injury during the Monday Night Football contest of the NFL’s Week 17. That was his first mistake. It was a sober moment, and one that genuinely didn’t need interrupting from Skip. Nevertheless, he tried it and gave a pretty poor take.

He wondered how the NFL could consider cancelling the game after Hamlin effectively died on the field. Yes, the game was an important one for AFC seeding, but this was a man’s life on the line.

Skip Bayless tried to deftly maneuver the topic and the sensitivity of the situation, but he failed as he often does. What resulted was one of his most insensitive and thoughtless tweets of all time.

Tim Tebow can be A better Player than Cam Newton

This tweet from Bayless regarding Cam Newton and Tim Tebow is an all-timer. The then-ESPN analyst has always been a huge fan of Tebow, but this take aged as poorly as any. Bayless believed that Tebow would have a better career than Newton.

As it turned out, Newton had a far superior career and it’s not even close. Newton may be done playing thanks to injuries now, but Tebow was never even close to as good as he was. The MVP and Super Bowl appearance prove that without even looking at all of Newton’s other excellent seasons.

Newton could be a Hall of Famer one day. Tebow would be lucky to get on a ballot.

Josh Freeman is better than Cam Newton

For a long time, it was clear that Bayless was no fan of Cam Newton’s. Not only did he say Tim Tebow would be better, he also said that about Josh Freeman. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback started three seasons and was out of the NFL after 2015.

Bayless said:

“Long term give me Josh Freeman over Cam. Better leader, more consistent passer, more clutch, more poised under fire, more careful with ball.”

@RealSkipBayless on Twitter

Newton has three Pro Bowl appearances and won an MVP in 2015. Once again, this take could not have aged more poorly.

Johnny Manziel > LeBron James

Skip is a known LeBron James hater, but this take took the hating to another level. Bayless once tweeted that Johnny Manziel, the electric quarterback from Texas A&M, woud have a better career in Cleveland than the NBA’s now-leading scorer, LeBron James.

Manziel flamed out of the NFL and never even looked like he would have a career as a backup. Even though James has left Cleveland twice, it’s safe to say there’s no comparison whatsoever. Manziel barely made an impact on Cleveland and James will never see an athlete replace him in that city.

Von Miller is overrated

Von Miller is probably on his way to the Hall of Fame. At the very least, he can sleep at night with a Super Bowl MVP award and knowing that he was probably the biggest reason the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50. He also won Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams, so he’s had one fine career.

Rewind back to when he was a young player with the Denver Broncos and see how poorly this Skip Bayless tweet aged. Maybe Miller isn’t Denver’s MVP, but he was in the biggest game of his life, so Bayless once again couldn’t be more wrong.

More Tim Tebow love

Tim Tebow had a mediocre career with the Denver Broncos, which is why they jumped at signing Peyton Manning when he left the Indianapolis Colts. Bayless wasn’t a fan, but he did believe that Tebow could land elsewhere and finally have a real chance to become the NFL superstar the analyst always knew he would be.

Unfortunately, that never happened. Tebow was effectively out of the league after that and Manning went to two Super Bowls with Denver and won one of them on his way out of the league. Manning is a Hall of Famer and Tebow tried to play tight end recently. There’s no comparison at all.

Derek Fisher will outcoach Steve Kerr

Steve Kerr has won Coach of the Year and won three NBA Finals trophies. Derek Fisher is not even an active coach. One might think that there was no question over which coach was better. One would be wrong.

Bayless firmly believed that Fisher would end up being better than Kerr back in 2014. Just two years later, Kerr won that Coach of the Year and proved that Bayless was foolish. Seven years later, Kerr is leading the defending champion Golden State Warriors still, making the tweet look like an all time cold take.

Kerr may have the added benefit of coaching two all-time three-point shooters, but there’s no denying his ability as a coach. Mark Jackson didn’t win a Finals with the same core players.

Brandon Weeden is a star according to Skip Bayless

In 2012, Skip Bayless was convinced that the Cleveland Browns had found their franchise quarterback at long last. Brandon Weeden was their savior, according to the controversial analyst.

“Browns just stole a starting QB: Brandon Weeden. Much better than Tannehill. Will soon beat out Colt, have 6-7 good yrs. TRich AND Weeden!”

@RealSkipBayless on Twitter

Ryan Tannehill hasn’t been an MVP caliber player, but he’s still playing and starting in the NFL. Weeden isn’t and was never a good NFL quarterback. The Browns have truthfully been looking for their franchise quarterback since well before then. Maybe they’ve found it in Deshaun Watson.

Cardale Jones > Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott is potentially about to be extended by the Dallas Cowboys, but he’s at least a Pro Bowl level quarterback. Cowboys superfan Bayless believed that Cardale Jones of Ohio State University would be a better pick.

Lost in all of that is the fact that everyone, perhaps even Bayless, was clamoring over Paxton Lynch, who recently became the only quarterback to be benched in the NFL, CFL, USFL and finally, the XFL.

Skip Bayless’ Twitter is a bit of a cesspool of poor takes. He probably has one awful take per week, but some of them stand out. Which tweets from Skip deserve to be on this list? Let us know in the comments.
