LeSean McCoy Claims Eric Bieniemy Had Almost Nothing To Do With Chiefs Success

by

LeSean McCoy is a former NFL running back who is known for making some controversial statements. Of course, McCoy ended up winning the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons with two different teams. Firstly, he won it as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Subsequently, he went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and defeated his former team the following year. Overall, he wasn’t a huge contributor to those teams. However, he had a phenomenal prime, and that is why networks like FS1 have him on their shows.

One of the biggest topics in football right now involves former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Recently, Bieniemy left the Chiefs to become an offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. Now, he won’t have the shadow of Andy Reid over his shoulder. Consequently, some believe he can finally show his prowess as an offensive coordinator and even eventually become a head coach in the league. However, LeSean McCoy seems to think otherwise.

LeSean McCoy Speaks

During his recent appearance on Speak For Yourself, McCoy claimed that Bieniemy has very little to do with the Chiefs’ offense. He made it seem as though Bieniemy is only in charge of the run game, but only a small part of it. Moreover, he said that when it came to offensive meetings, Reid was always in charge. He believes that Bieniemy has yet to show that he can actually be a head coach anywhere. Overall, it was quite shocking and a lot of people were surprised by the comments. Moreover, some felt as though McCoy was being salty due to the fact that Bieniemy never gave him a lot of playing time. Not to mention, players like Tyreek Hill have all hit Bieniemy with massive praise.

This is not the first time that McCoy has gone after someone. He had some less-than-kind words for none other than Dak Prescott. During that instance, he called Dak trash, and many felt like he was being cruel for no good reason. For now, however, he is helping bring attention to a show that otherwise, no one would really care about. Let us know what you think of his take, down below.

NFL’s Alvin Kamara Indicted For Las Vegas Assault: Report

by

A reported altercation that occurred in Las Vegas last year has spelled more trouble for Alvin Kamara. The incident was said to have occurred during Pro Bowl weekend outside of the celebrity favorite, Drai’s Nightclub. According to authorities, a man named Darnell Green was trying to get into an elevator when he was blocked. The Saints running back is accused of touching Greene on his chest. When Greene pushed his hand away, an alleged assault occurred.

Reports claim three other suspects joined in on an attack against Greene. Christopher Young, Percy Harris, and Cincinnati Bengals star Chris Lammons have also been named in an indictment. It’s alleged the four men punched and kicked Greene. The victim received an orbital fracture on his right eye.

PEOPLE stated a “Clark County grand jury indicted the NFL stars and two others on criminal charges of conspiracy to commit battery, and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm.” In November 2022, TMZ released a surveillance video that showed that attack. However, alleged sources close to Kamara told the outlet that the clip didn’t adequately detail what led to the chaos. They claim the purported victim incited an argument and became violent first.

“Alvin Kamara has gained a well-deserved reputation for being a hard-working and community-minded individual,” said Kamara’s legal team in a statement. “The recent Las Vegas allegations are not consistent with who Mr. Kamara has shown himself to be in both his public and private life. Therefore, we are conducting our own investigation into all the circumstances and individuals associated with this matter to determine both the facts and motivations of all involved.”

Meanwhile, Greene has also filed a lawsuit against Kamara. He is seeking $10 million and claimed he didn’t fight back during the tussle. “[Kamara] chased Greene down the hall and proceeded to strike him multiple times until he was knocked to the ground,” the lawsuit shared. “At no point during the attack did Greene hit, punch, or push Kamara or any of his associates.” Kamara is scheduled to appear in court on March 2.

Shaq Defends Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance Against Critics: “Shut It Up”

by

As the Super Bowl celebrations continue for the Kansas City Chiefs, Rihanna’s halftime performance is still being discussed. The singer floated through several fan-favorite classics during her 14-minute show, but it wasn’t her music that stole attention. Ri used her huge NFL opportunity to reveal her second pregnancy, although she didn’t detail how far along she is just yet. The performance was praised by the singer’s fans, and highlights have flooded social media. However, not everyone was impressed, and Shaq didn’t want to hear another peep from critics.

“I want to say this,” Shaq began during a recent interview. “All you people disrespecting my Rihanna, shut your face. Shut it up. Like, we livin’ in a world where people got too much freedom. Keep you **** to yourself. She did a wonderful job, she’s pregnant, she blessed it, she did her thang. She didn’t fall. Just leave it there.”

He continued: “All you superstars that’s disrespectful and causing beef, shut your face. Shut it up.” Shaq added that if Ri was his lady and he heard about celebrities shading the singer, he would check them. The NBA icon said, “Rappers, presidential candidates, I would have to get at you. Leave this woman alone. Rihanna is Rihanna. I was there, it was beautiful. She did a great job. I didn’t know she was pregnant until she bust out, but leave her alone.”

Shaq’s comments circulated on the heels of WWE icon Bill Goldberg expressing his disappointment with Rihanna’s performance. “I thought Rihanna was frickin’ horrible,” he said during the CarCast podcast this week. “I was disgusted by it. That’s all. Let’s just say that. I thought it was horrible.” It seems Goldberg had an issue with Rihanna’s genital wiping gesture during the show.

Regardless of critics, the halftime display’s viewership outnumbered that of the Super Bowl itself. It marked Rihanna’s return to the stage following a seven-year absence, and it opened up possibilities for an album release and potential tour. Check out Shaq defending Rihanna above.

Skip Bayless Explains Why He Thinks NFL Owners Won’t Hire Black Coaches

by

Skip Bayless is someone whose hot takes haven’t always enthused people. Overall, he is someone who is considered to be a huge troll that is hard to take seriously. However, there are some instances where he actually has some good takes. He can be serious when he needs to be, especially on topics involving race. In fact, many have praised Bayless in the past for his nuance when discussing race, particularly in the NFL. Needless to say, he isn’t a reactionary like the uncle you hate to see at Christmas.

Race in the NFL has been a huge topic as of late due to the lack of job offers for Eric Bieniemy. Bieniemy is the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, and despite all of their success, no one will hire him as a head coach. Consequently, he is thinking of a lateral move to the Washington Commanders where he can be an OC without the shadow of Andy Reid standing over his shoulder. Overall, it is a pretty upsetting situation as it showcases how black coaches struggle to be taken seriously.

Skip Bayless Speaks

For Bayless, this all boils down to the fact that white owners are simply too uncomfortable with having to talk to black coaches on a daily basis. He believes the owners are stuck in their ways. However, he doesn’t know how this could eventually change for the better. “These older white owners just aren’t that comfortable with a Black head coach because they need to interact, they need to go to dinner with the wives or the [significant others] or whatever,” said. “[White owners are] just not that comfortable. When they do have an interview, it’s gonna be a quicker click with a young white hot candidate.”

Bayless ultimately ended his take by stating that the NFL can’t mandate teams to hire black coaches. Although, Bayless believes owners like the Rooneys have done the right thing over the years. Hopefully, the NFL will change for the better in this regard. There are plenty of amazing black coaches who have yet to be given opportunities. As the world gets more progressive, perhaps the NFL will too.

Michael Irvin’s Alleged Misconduct Case Gets An Update

by

Michael Irvin has been in the news as of late due to misconduct allegations that were levied against him. Overall, the entire story has been very confusing for a number of reasons. Firstly, the name of the person who filed the complaint is unknown. Moreover, it has not been made official as to what their actual complaint is. All of the reporting around this claims that Irvin allegedly engaged in “misconduct.” These were allegations made by the Phoenix Marriott to the NFL directly. Subsequently, Irvin was stripped of his duties as a correspondent for the Super Bowl.

Irvin is currently in the midst of suing the Marriott for $100 million. He feels as though they have ruined his reputation with these allegations. Furthermore, he maintains that he had an interaction with an employee in the lobby of the hotel, although it didn’t go further than that. Irvin says they exchanged a few pleasantries and from there, he simply went up to his hotel room. With that being said, there are still plenty of questions left unanswered here.

Michael Irvin Scores A Win

Now, according to TMZ, Irvin is getting a big win in court. A judge has now told the Marriott that they must provide video footage of the alleged interaction. The hotel reportedly has just three days to get these clips into Irvin’s legal team. Levi McCathern, Irvin’s lawyer, sees this as a huge win that will ultimately prove Irvin’s innocence. The wins do not stop there as the judge believes the accuser’s name must be revealed. Additionally, the NFL employees who were made aware of the complaints will also have to be identified.

This is a developing story that is still being figured out as we speak. There are still plenty of details that are missing, and we will be sure to bring you the latest updates when they arrive. Having said that, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments below.

Patrick Mahomes Almost Gave Away The Lombardi Trophy

by

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are world champions yet again. Just a few days ago, the Chiefs went out and won the Super Bowl, against all odds. Overall, it was a phenomenal championship game that fans were more than excited about. As underdogs, the Chiefs were being told that the Eagles were simply too good. Moreover, with the Eagles up by 10 at halftime, it became clear that the Chiefs were in tough. That is when Patrick Mahomes took over and played one of the best halves of football in his entire career.

This past week, the Chiefs got to celebrate their epic Super Bowl win with a parade in Kansas City. Thousands upon thousands of fans joined the team in the streets for what was an amazing celebration. All of the players were getting drunk and interacting with the fans who supported the team all year long. Moreover, there was an incredible speech at the end that included the Chiefs’ best players. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and many others got to talk and it was an amazing time.

Patrick Mahomes Faded

As for Mahomes, he was definitely one of the more faded players at the parade. This is completely understandable when you realize how he was the Super Bowl MVP and had a lot to be excited about. In the clip above, however, Mahomes almost completely gave away the Lombardi trophy. As you can see, he poses for a picture with a fan and then gives that fan the hardware. He then walks away before the video cuts off. Simply put, he forgot the most important trophy of all. Eventually, someone from the team came and got it, which meant a disaster was avoided.

Overall, it seems like the Chiefs have been having a great time following their big win. They are a team that has the potential to win many more Super Bowls, and it is a safe bet that they do. Hopefully, Mahomes makes sure to avoid the mistake he almost made on Wednesday. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Patrick Mahomes Gives Epic Speech At Chiefs Parade: Watch

by

Patrick Mahomes was the shining star of the Super Bowl. Of course, his opponent Jalen Hurts was also very good and in some ways better. However, the world will always remember the quarterback who came through with the win. This year, that quarterback was none other than Mahomes, whose Chiefs are on the verge of becoming a dynasty. In just six seasons in the NFL, Mahomes has won a total of two Super Bowl championships. Additionally, he has two Super Bowl MVPs and he even has two league MVPs. Needless to say, he is the future of the league.

On Wednesday, Mahomes and his teammates took to the streets of Kansas City for their Super Bowl parade. Overall, it was a truly epic celebration as thousands of people took to the streets to show support for their team. Although it was a cold day in February, the fans came out in droves. It was an amazing celebration of team pride and there was no doubt that Mahomes was the focal point for many.

Patrick Mahomes Gets Lit

According to TMZ, Mahomes made an epic speech once they got to the end of the parade run that leads to a grand stage. Throughout this speech, Mahomes spoke about how no one believed in the Chiefs this year. Moreover, he spoke about the team’s “rebuild” and how he doesn’t even know what that is supposed to mean. “I’mma be honest, I don’t know what rebuilding means,” 27-year-old Mahomes said. “In our rebuilding year, we’re world champs!! I just wanna let y’all know that this is just the beginning. We ain’t done yet.” Overall, it is clear that this franchise has a ton of confidence in its ability to win.

For the coming years, the Chiefs could very well become the new Patriots. If you are a fan of any other team in the league, it is probably going to frustrate you to hear this. However, it is ultimately up to teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills to stop KC in their tracks. Let us know your thoughts on the impending Chiefs dynasty, in the comments down below.

Stephen A. Smith Reveals If Patrick Mahomes Is A Top 3 QB All Time

by

Stephen A. Smith didn’t have a ton of belief in Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. Overall, Smith had the Eagles winning the game as they had a better all-around team. However, Mahomes and the Chiefs went on to prove everyone wrong. Of course, Mahomes won the game with a last-minute field goal. Moreover, he won Super Bowl MVP thanks to a three-touchdown performance that Chiefs fans will be remembering for a very long time. At this point, it is hard not to admit Mahomes’ greatness.

Throughout this entire week, pundits have been giving their hot takes on Mahomes and what he means to the Chiefs franchise. Furthermore, many have been attempting to rank Mahomes on the all-time quarterback lists. Of course, there are some people who believe that he still has a ways to go before he can crack the top 5. However, there are others who are ready to crown him as a top 3 QB ever. As it turns out, this debate was had on First Take this morning.

Stephen A. On Mahomes

In the video up above, Stephen A. took the position that Mahomes, was, indeed, the third-greatest quarterback ever. Although, he has his work cut out for him if he ever wants to get close to Tom Brady. In second, Smith had Joe Montana who has four Super Bowl titles. Needless to say, if Mahomes can get himself two more titles quickly, then he will likely surpass Montana fairly quickly. It also helps that Mahomes already has over 200 touchdowns and that he is a third of the way to Brady in just five years of being a starter.

The path for Mahomes to become the GOAT is set. Of course, it is not going to be easy, especially since the league is filled with talented players. However, if anyone could get to Brady, it would have to be none other than the Chiefs gunslinger. Let us know what you think of Stephen A.’s position, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Timbaland Suggests Kanye West Should Perform At Super Bowl

by

In the last few years, the Super Bowl halftime show has embraced hip-hop and R&B artists more than ever. Rihanna’s performance on Sunday (Feb. 12) was just the latest portion of this trend. 2022 saw an incredible West Coast hip-hop tribute with Dr. Dre and friends. 2020 saw a spectacular solo performance by The Weeknd. 2019 saw Travis Scott and Big Boi of Outkast join Maroon 5 on stage. All of these dynamic artists on the big screen have shown the world how great these genres are.

These continuously marvelous performances have made fans consider what other rappers or singers they would want to see at the big game. Additionally, they have also made people ponder who else could have been added to these performances. For example, Jay-Z and Roc Nation helped Rihanna prepare for her performance, though Hov did not get brought out to perform. Along with Jay-Z, some fans also wished Kanye West could have joined Rih on stage. Rihanna performed songs that both Jay-Z and Ye were part of. These included “All of the Lights,” “Run This Town” and “Umbrella.” Regardless, she still did an impeccable job.

Timbaland Campaigns For Ye

Of these people hoping to see Ye at the Bowl was his longtime friend and collaborator Timbaland. Timbaland has helped produce Ye hits like “Good Life” and “Stronger,” as well as many of JESUS IS KING‘s songs. This is likely why he wants to see Ye have his own set at the Super Bowl someday. In a recent Instagram video, he explains his reasoning. “Yo I was thinking, if Kanye was to do the Super Bowl, that almost would be like watching Motown 25,” he said. “Cause that boy is serious. Don’t you ever forget it.” Additionally, Timbaland captioned his video with: “Dat boy ye doing the Super Bowl. They wouldn’t be ready.”

It would probably not be very likely that Ye would do a Super Bowl anytime soon. Unfortunately for Timbaland, his recent comments regarding the Jewish community would probably keep him from this stage. But, that does not mean that his impact is still not being felt. Some fans noticed that Rihanna’s outfit for her performance heavily resembled Kanye’s from one of the Donda listening parties. So, while Ye likely won’t hit the Super Bowl stage soon, his songs and aura are still felt.

Tom Brady Under Fire Over Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction Comments

by

Tom Brady has played in a lot of Super Bowls throughout his historic career. In fact, he has played in a grand total of 10 of them. Overall, he has won seven, which is an incredible record. Many of his Super Bowl appearances have been historic, for many reasons. His second Super Bowl was particularly historic, although not for the best reasons. That is because Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction during the halftime show with Justin Timberlake. Subsequently, Jackson received a ton of backlash while Timberlake received nothing. As for Brady, his Patriots went on to win against the Carolina Panthers.

During the most recent episode of his Let’s Go podcast, Brady was asked about the Jackson moment. Although the whole world saw it take place, Brady really only found out about it after the game. However, he acknowledges just how big of a moment it was. That said, Brady doesn’t seem to think of it from Jackson’s perspective. In his eyes, this was simply just a huge moment for the NFL.

Tom Brady Speaks

“It took a while for us to figure out exactly what had gone on,” Brady said. “I think in the end, it was probably a good thing for the NFL because everyone got to talk about it, and it was just more publicity and more publicity for halftime shows. Is any publicity bad publicity? That’s what they say, so, who knows?” Following these comments, Brady was immediately criticized on Twitter for his take. After all, these remarks came across as misinformed given everything Jackson went through. “Janet Jackson faced public humiliation and outright misogynoir resulting in her getting blacklisted by the former CEO of CBS, but Tom Brady thinks all of that was ok because all publicity is good publicity,” one user noted.

In the other responses below, you could tell that people were upset with what Brady had to say. To this day, Janet Jackson is still dealing with the fallout from that halftime show. Overall, it was very traumatic for her, and fans wish Brady had a bit more sensitivity toward that. Whether or not he will respond to this controversy, remains to be seen.
