LeBron James Reveals Why He’s Upset About The Super Bowl

by

LeBron James was among many fans who attended the Super Bowl last night. Overall, it was an incredible, high-scoring affair that saw the Kansas City Chiefs prevail with a 38-35 win. This was a huge win for Patrick Mahomes, who has now secured his legacy with two Super Bowl victories. If you are a Chiefs fan, you cannot be prouder of how this team played. Although they were down by 10 at the half, they were able to come back with a victory for the ages. This is easily one of the best Super Bowls ever, and it is very hard to deny that. However, we’re sure Philly fans will beg to differ.

One main point of contention throughout the game was the pass interference call near the end of the game. At the time, the Chiefs were driving down the field with just a few minutes left. They were close to the Eagles’ end zone, and the game was on the line. Subsequently, Kansas City was gifted with a first down that ultimately led to them driving the clock down to 8 seconds. Consequently, they kicked a field goal and eventually won the game.

LeBron James Reacts

LeBron James was not a fan of the call whatsoever. In fact, he took to Twitter where he voiced his opinion on the matter. Overall, it is easy to see why he wouldn’t find this call to be very good. It was marginal, and James goes through plenty issues with the officials over in the NBA. “Sorry but I don’t like that call! Not for the Super Bowl man!” he wrote. “His hand on his back had no effect on his route! This game was too damn good for that call to dictate the outcome at the end. Damn! By the way I have no horse in the race. Just my professional opinion.”

James certainly is not the only fan who felt this way about the game. However, there is no going back at this point. Moving forward, the Eagles will just have to live with the loss. Meanwhile, the Chiefs will be celebrating for a very long time. No matter what, their latest title is certainly well-deserved.

Kansas City Chiefs Win Super Bowl LVII Against Philadelphia Eagles

by

The Kansas City Chiefs just emerged victorious against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII. Moreover, their victory was hard-fought, well-earned, and the product of an incredibly close game. For viewers who don’t often watch football and hardcore fans alike, it was a nail-biting game. In fact, the two teams were neck and neck for the majority of the game, trading touchdowns and massive plays. However, the game-winning play didn’t come without some controversy.

Moreover, this is yet another Super Bowl win for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Also, the quarterback is now the NFL MVP, becoming the first player to do so and win a Super Bowl since 1999. Given this is the most competitive night in the world for some, it’s not surprising to see some conflict come up. Furthermore, a touchdown and two-point conversion from the Eagles tied the game with 5:15 left. Then, the Chiefs marched down the field with the ball, arriving at Philly’s 15-yard line with two minutes to spare. As Kansas faced a third-and-8 that went incomplete, things looked doable for the Eagles.

However, a flag changed the entire game. According to officials, James Bradberry (defensive back for the Eagles) committed a holding on Chief player JuJu Smith-Schuster that prevented his running route. Moreover, the call meant five yards and fresh downs for the now-Super Bowl LVII victors. Of course, that was all Mahomes needed. After that call, Kansas killed the clock with three plays and set up a 27-yard field goal from Harrison Butker. In the move that sealed their win, his goal gave KC the 38-35 lead.

Meanwhile, the Eagles’ final play was a throw from Jalen Hurts that didn’t reach the end zone. So, Mahomes and company scored Super Bowl No. 2 for the Chiefs. Overall, it was an incredible game and an overall wonderful night for entertainment. Between Rihanna’s halftime show and commercials galore, any pop culture fan had something to celebrate. However, what did you think about that game-winning call for the Chiefs and the game in general? Regardless of your emotions, tell us in the comments and come back to HNHH for some heated Super Bowl discussion.

Drake Reacts To Fan Offering Him Sex During Super Bowl Weekend Performance

by

While some famous faces are simply in Arizona to take in the NFL Championship game this weekend, others are steadily securing the bag. Among the latter group is Drake. He gave a rousing performance on Friday (February 10) evening ahead of Sunday’s big game. All eyes were obviously on the father of one as he recreated his recent run at the Apollo Theatre. Still, he found himself paying close attention to one audience member in particular.

As Page Six notes, a patron in the crowd caught the Scorpion artist’s eye around 1 AM. He promptly stopped the show, taking place at Scottdale’s private jet complex, Hangar One, to deal with the “distraction.” At the time, he said, “Gimme a sec,” before grabbing the person’s phone to show the rest of the crowd the message displayed for Drake to read.

“Let’s f*ck,” was written across the screen, and clearly, Champagne Papi was intrigued enough by the proposition to acknowledge it. However, he declined the confident fan’s advance and went back to crooning out some of his greatest hits. During his set, the Toronto native let the crowd know he was asked to perform for just 20 minutes, or three songs.

Instead, though, he put on the show of a lifetime for everyone in the building. “I can either do my 20 minutes or we could just run through all the old shit. It’s up to you,” he told them. Ultimately, he launched into titles like “God’s Plan,” “Best I Ever Had,” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” Elsewhere during his time on stage, Drake rapped “Started From the Bottom,” “Headlines,” and “HYFR (Hell Ya F*cking Right).”

Drake has obviously been having a great time surrounded by his fellow celebrities in Arizona, but he’s got plenty of big things going on outside of that as well. Earlier today, Barstool Sports unveiled their recent sitdown with the Canadian and his young son, Adonis. During their chat with Caleb Pressley, neither the father nor the child held back when answering questions.

Among their topics of discussion were things like Drizzy’s parenting skills, and having a lot of feelings. Additionally, the trio spoke about the proper way to call women to ensure their maximum satisfaction. Check out the full interview here, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Charles Barkley Says He’s Betting $100k On The Eagles

by

Charles Barkley says that he’s planning on going to Las Vegas with a dozen of his friends and pulling an all-nighter for the Super Bowl. Additionally, he’s planning on dropping $100,000 on the Philidelphia Eagles to win the game. Barkley discussed his Super Bowl plans during an interview with the Steam Room podcast, earlier this week.

“Me and 12 of my friends go to Vegas every year for the Super Bowl,” Barkley said on the show. “There’s a good chance I’ma be pulling an all-nighter … Sunday into Monday, because we’re playing golf Saturday and Sunday, the Super Bowl starts around 3, 3:30 Pacific Time. So by the time the game ends, I’ll probably gamble all night Sunday and go straight to the airport.”

Charles Barkley’s Plans

From there, Barkley announced his bet and began a chant in support of his squad. “I’ll probably bet $100,000 on the game. Go Eagles,” Barkley exclaimed. “E. A. G. L. E. S. Eagles!” This Sunday won’t be the first time Barkley makes a major Eagles bet in the Super Bowl. When the team defeated the Patriots in 2018, he told Jimmy Kimmel of his winnings: “In Alabama, it’d buy a big condo. In L.A., a small guest house.”

For the game, Jalen Hurts and the Philidelphia Eagles will be taking on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 PM, ET on Sunday. During halftime, Rihanna will be making her long-awaited return to performing, after not taking the stage since 2018. Ahead of the show, Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin, labeled Rihanna the best singer of all time. “You have to be an idiot not to recognize that she’s the best singer of all time,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I don’t know Rihanna very well, I’m mainly just a fan. We performed with her a few times and it is rarer and rarer for her to just sing, which is what makes it even more special. In a strange way, it shows that she really, really wants to do it. No one can make Rihanna do anything at this point. I’m very biased because I’m such a big Rihanna fan. I mean, I think she could just walk out in sweatpants and sing, and that would be just great.”

Damar Hamlin Calls Trainer Who Performed CPR His “Savior”

by

Damar Hamlin says that he owes assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington his life. Kellington performed CPR on the Buffalo Bills safety after he suffered cardiac arrest on the field in January. Hamlin’s injury occurred during the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football on January 2, 2023. Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest after making a tackle on wide receiver Tee Higgins. He stood up momentarily before passing out and falling back to the ground. Hamlin spoke about the incident during his first interview in the time since on Good Morning America. The interview, conducted by Michael Strahan, is set to air on ABC, Monday.

“I owe Denny my life, literally. He loves to say he was just doing his job, which is true. That night he was literally the savior of my life, administering CPR on me.” Hamlin adds he’s “truly thankful” for Kellington’s live-saving work, adding, “I don’t take [it] for granted.”

Hamlin’s Interview

Hamlin also discussed the money he received to his foundation after his medical emergency with TMZ Sports. The 24-year-old says that he plans to “change the world” with the funds. Over 240k contributors donated a total of $9M to his Chasing M’s Foundation. “I’m gonna change the world,” he says. “Change the world.”

Hamlin received a standing ovation at the NFL Honors on Thursday. Addressing the response from the crowd at the event, Hamlin said: “First, I would like to just thank God for even being here. Every day I’m amazed that my experiences could encourage so many others across the country and even across the world — encourage to pray, encourage to spread love, and encourage to keep fighting no matter the circumstances.” He added: “My vision was about playing in the NFL and being the best player I could be. But God’s plan was to have a purpose greater than any game in this world.” For his efforts in saving Hamlin, Kellington earned a vote for NFL MVP, leaving him ninth overall in the vote tally for the award. Patrick Mahomes ended up winning the award. Damar Hamlin’s full interview with Strahan airs Monday, Feb. 13 on Good Morning America.

Machine Gun Kelly “Electrocuted” During Super Bowl Party Performance: Video

by

Super Bowl weekend is finally in full swing. Excitement has been running rampant for a number of reasons. Among them are the NFL Championship itself to Rihanna’s long-awaited return to the stage. Of course, countless celebrities have made the trip to Phoenix, Arizona. For the most part, they’ve been busy turning up ahead of Sunday’s main event.

On Friday (February 10), a select few stars kicked things off with incredible performances of their own. Among them is Machine Gun Kelly, who went all out on the Coors Light Bird’s Nest stage. As TMZ notes, famous faces like A-Rod and his latest girlfriend were in attendance. They were rocking out along with the artist to titles from mainstream sellout and beyond.

The event sold out, and the crowd was obviously loving the “Wild Boy” rapper’s show. Knowing MGK, though, he didn’t carry out his performance without some antics. At one point while he was singing, patrons took notice of the 32-year-old’s blonde hair suddenly standing up on his head.

Following the show, Kelly posted the unusual moment on his Instagram Story, offering an explanation of sorts. “Yooo I got [electrocuted] and my hair stood up,” he wrote, however, TMZ notes it simply could have been a prank. The latter seems more likely. The performer wasn’t bothered by the apparent electricity coursing through him, and no EMTs were seen assessing the situation afterward.

It’s shaping up to be a busy weekend for MGK. Aside from his wild two-hour-long performance on Friday night, he also made time to attend Drake’s Super Bowl party. The two have been friends for some time now. In fact, the Canadian almost portrayed “Fake Drake” in the father of one’s Good Mourning film.

Champagne Papi pulled out all the stops for his own event, even recreating his recent performance at New York’s Apollo Theatre. There were plenty of stars in attendance, including Colson Baker and finacée Megan Fox, as well as Cher and her man, AE Edwards. Read all about Drizzy’s shindig here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

The Super Bowl: How To Watch And What To Expect

by

Super Bowl LVII is showcasing the highly anticipated game between the AFC champion, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the NFC Champion, the Philadelphia Eagles. The game will take place on February 12, 2023 in Glendale AZ. Kickoff will start at 6:30 P.M. ET/3:30 P.M. PT. The game will air on Fox and, in Spanish-speaking countries, on Fox Deportes. The game will also be available on FoxSports.com, as well as the Fox Sports App. This will be the 10th Super Bowl broadcast through Fox Sports. Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play) and Greg Olsen (analyst) will have the game call. It will be their first Super Bowl assignment since the departure of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

The Spanish-language version of the network’s pregame show begins at 4 P.M. ET/1 P.M. PT. The English-language version of the network’s pregame will begin with Fox NFL Sunday at 1 P.M. ET/10 A.M. PT. Chris Stapleton will sing the national anthem prior to the game. Meanwhile, CODA Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur will perform the song ASL. Babyface will sing “America the Beautiful,” and Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Ordinarily, the President of the United States interviews with pre-game hosts prior to the Super Bowl, but Joe Biden will not be doing that this year.

The halftime show will be headlined by none other than Rihanna. It is the first year for the performance to be branded under the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. DPS is producing the show with Roc Nation. Jesse Collins will executive produce, and Hamish Hamilton will direct. Last year’s star-studded halftime show featured Dr Dre, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem. It was watched by 120 million people.

Throughout the day, Fox will also play the usual amount of popular, anticipated Super Bowl Commercials, including movie trailers for films like Fast X, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and Air. Last year, Neilsen estimated that 90& of the United States who had their TVs on during the hours of the Super Bowl were watching the game. The ratings flew to an estimated 112.3 million viewers across all NBC platforms (NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock). The Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

Meek Mill Says Eagles Anthem Can Be Both “Dreams & Nightmares” And Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock”

by

Tomorrow’s highly anticipated Super Bowl is inching closer and closer. Fans are already becoming more excited about what will unfold at the big game. Of course, a hot topic amongst the hip-hop community as of late has been which song the Philadelphia Eagles will select as their anthem. Previously, Meek Mill’s “Dreams & Nightmares” was an obvious front-runner. Since Lil Uzi Vert dropped off “Just Wanna Rock,” however, the former artist has been feeling some competition.

DJ Drama is the one who sparked a massive debate between the two. He claims that the “Uptown Vibes” hitmaker made an undeniably great track. Still, the Generation Now artist’s newer song ultimately comes out on top between the two. Earlier this month, Meek shut down the label head’s comments, pointing out the longevity of his fan-favourite title’s intro. Ahead of tomorrow’s match, the rapper caught up with TMZ in Arizona, sharing more thoughts on the two songs.

While chatting with the outlet, the South Philly native suggested a more inclusive approach for the Eagles. The team should come out to “Just Wanna Rock,” showing love to LUV. When they take home the Lombardi Trophy, “Dreams & Nightmares” will blast in celebration, Mill says. The latter song has been playing inside Lincoln Financial Field for over a decade now.

Meek was previously incarcerated when his hometown team last made it to the Super Bowl in 2017. Due to this, he missed out on some major moments and is obviously looking forward to seeing a potential win play out in person this year.

While many attendees of tomorrow’s big game will be focused on the football (and which hip-hop anthem the Eagles show favour to), others are tuning in simply to watch Rihanna’s historic return to the stage. The new mother has been hard at work for the past few months, preparing what sounds like a jam-packed performance for excited fans both in the stadium and at home.

Earlier this week, the “Umbrella” songstress sat down with Apple Music to dish about her process in getting ready for the big event. Additionally, it was revealed that Rih surprisingly won’t be getting paid for her upcoming work at the Super Bowl. Read more about that here, and tell us if you’ll be tuning into tomorrow’s game in the comments below.

Pat McAfee Reacts To Brett Favre Lawsuit

by

Pat McAfee is one of the most beloved personalities in the football world right now. Ever since retiring as a punter for the Indianapolis Colts, McAfee has enjoyed a career as a media superstar. He has had a few gigs with ESPN and he also hosts his very own show that airs every single day. Overall, he has built a ton of connections, and his shows are always entertaining. Moreover, he is someone who knows a lot about the game and brings an every-man quality to the media space. If you watch his show, you know exactly what we mean by that.

However, McAfee is now facing a bit of legal trouble. The source of these problems may actually surprise you. As it turns out, NFL legend Brett Favre is suing McAfee, as well as Shannon Sharpe. This all stems from commentary these men made in relation to the allegations that Brett Favre diverted welfare funds in the state of Mississippi. Favre is accusing McAfee of calling him a “thief” who steals from the poor. At this time, specific damages are unknown, although this is definitely a big deal.

Pat McAfee Speaks

With the news breaking last night, many were interested to see what McAfee would do. After all, McAfee isn’t your typical personality who will speak through a PR rep. Instead, he likes to address things head-on. Friday, that is exactly what he did as he addressed his audience and spoke at length about the entire situation. As you can imagine, Pat brought his signature humorous tone to the discussion, saying “Let’s ride this f*cker. I’m excited to see how it goes. I’ll see you in court, pal.”

No matter what, this is going to be a hard fight for McAfee. However, given the allegations against Favre, it is going to be difficult to prove defamation. Hopefully for folks like McAfee and Sharpe, they are able to navigate this incoming lawsuit correctly. Be sure to give us your thoughts on this situation, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
