Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football and at this point, it isn’t controversial to say something like that. He holds various NFL records and he even has seven Super Bowl titles to his name, which is simply ridiculous when you realize how old he is. Brady is one of those players whose longevity has been beyond belief, and as his career winds down, it will be interesting to see if he shows any signs of deterioration.

Recently, Brady’s trainer Alex Guerrero spoke to Adam Schefter about Brady’s future and what the quarterback is planning to do later on down the line. As Guerrero explained, Brady will play out the next two seasons, however, it’s a safe bet that Brady will retire soon after. Ultimately, Brady’s goal was always to play until 45.

“I think the biggest accomplishment from me will come probably if we make it through age 45 because that’s what his goal was,” Guerrero explained. “That will probably be the proudest moment for me, to say, ‘Hey, we actually did it.’ I know from my perspective that I want to honor my promise to him in helping him with his goal. If his goal changes, no problem. If he says, ‘Hey, I think I’m going to call it a day,’ then great. No problem. I will 100 percent support that.”

Brady was recently asked if he would play until the age of 50 and based on his response, it doesn’t appear as though that would be in the cards. Regardless, Brady has earned his retirement and he has no need to prove anything to anyone.

Mariah Carey‘s daughter Monroe stepped into the fashion spotlight for children’s clothing line OshKoshB’Gosh’s latest campaign. Mariah’s mini-me is featured as a model in the clothing brand’s “Today Is Someday” campaign. The commercial features Monroe as a younger version of the “Obsessed” singer.

The 30-second clip begins with Monroe, as a younger Carey, saying, “Someday, it’s gonna be different. The melodies that live in my head, someday they’ll live at the top of the charts. The songs in my heart will touch millions of hearts.” The commercial also sees Monroe, dressed in overalls courtesy of OshKoshB’Gosh, singing into a hairbrush in front of a vanity mirror, while holding a butterfly and watching it fly away. The video ends with the words “Mariah Carey, 1980…OshKoshB’Gosh, 2021.”

The allusions to Carey’s discography is apparent in the clip. From the butterfly, which is an homage to her 1997 album Butterfly, to the phrase Monroe concludes the commercial with, “How’s that for a daydream?,” a reference to Carey’s iconic 1995 album DayDream. 

While speaking to People Magazine about Monroe’s first time modeling, the award-winning singer said “As a little girl, I was determined to realize my dreams. Now as a mother, it brings me so much joy to see my children visualize and develop the dreams they hold in their own hearts.”

Check out the video below to catch Monroe’s modeling debut. Meanwhile, read up on the many children Nick Cannon recently added to their evolving family.

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, it has been reported that Drake’s highly anticipated new album Certified Lover Boy is currently being mixed and that the Canadian superstar has also been going to the studio to put the final touches on the project. Needless to say, fans are extremely excited about what’s to come and it seems as though Drake’s new project is finally almost here after months of uncertainty.

As for the merchandise surrounding the album, fans are expecting Drake to pull out the big guns. Of course, he has his very own line with Nike, and when it comes to apparel, Drake can pretty well do anything he wants. In fact, it seems as though Drake even has a sneaker on the horizon, which is information that comes courtesy of Levi Bent-Lee on Instagram.

In the post below, you can see that this Certified Lover Boy Nike Air Force 1 Low carries forth some of the iconic aesthetics that fans can come to expect from this silhouette. The upper is covered in white tumbled leather and when you look at the midsole, you can see that instead of “Air” being written on the side, we have “Love You Forever” instead. The writing is done in cursive and based on what we know about this album, it fits the vibe quite well.

As for any sort of release information, there is no word yet on whether or not these will be hitting the market. Drake has been known for creating shoes for friends and family only, and this could be one of those cases. Either way, keep it locked to HNHH as we will bring you all of the latest details surrounding these shoes.

Also, let us know what you think of these, in the comments section below.

A new animated movie inspired by Juice WRLD’s music is in currently in the works from Modern Magic, a new media company headed by Adam Rosenberg and Rodney Rothman. The film’s script will be written by comedian Jaboukie Young-White of The Daily Show.

John Janick, Steve Berman, and Tony Seyler have signed on as executive producers to represent Interscope, while Carmela Wallace, Peter Jideonwo, and Lil Bibby will serve as executive producers to represent Juice’s estate.

As for why they’ve decided to focus on animation as a medium, Rosenberg told Deadline, “Animation is a major source of creative and commercial growth, it easily travels around the world, and it is a driving force behind artistic breakthroughs in every medium. Our projects are designed to sit at the intersection of entertainment, culture, and technology, and what we do in animation feeds into our distinct take on live action.”

In addition to the film, a second posthumous album from the late Chicago rapper is on the way. Juice’s first release following his passing, Legends Never Die, came out in 2020.

Bibby recently teased the project in now-deleted posts on Twitter: “It’s 3 parts to the album,” he said. “First part of the album is 90% done, jus waiting on [Travis Scott] spam him!”

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s made several enemies during his time on earth but perhaps the most significant one is the mother of his child, Sara Molina. Their relationship issues have bled into the public eye and also became a focal point during his trial. The rapper’s relationship with Molina deteriorated long ago but it seems so has his relationship with his daughter. 

During a recent interview with VladTV, Sara Molina explained that the rapper hasn’t even attempted to get in contact with her or his daughter since his release from prison in 2020. Molina confirmed reports that Tekashi had been attempted to use his daughter in court as a prop and it began with a phone call from the rapper’s mother.

“Since the time he was locked up until that time [he went to court], we had no communication and the one call we did get after like, a whole year, was his mom saying that he’s gonna get sentenced on Wednesday and if she could see the baby. That’s it. If she could have the baby to go with them to court,” she said.

Molina said that she refused to allow their daughter to go to court to see her father’s sentence, largely because it was radio silence on his end up until he had to face trial.

She then dived into the topic of child support which she said 6ix9ine hasn’t paid or even offered. She said that she’s tried to get child support on three different occasions only to have issues with the paperwork. Vlad responded by saying that the rapper is a regular citizen who pays taxes since he continued to get paid off of rap. In response, Molina said that 6ix9ine was the furthest thing from your ordinary citizen.

“He’s not just a regular tax-paying citizen. He’s government property. That’s how I see him. I see him as government property,” she added. “I see him as someone who’s always going to be good no matter what type of trouble he gets into, at this point. So, things like child support and stuff like that can easily get lost in the system to his benefit. I don’t know how that works. I don’t know how I can bring myself to the child support office three times and still get nowhere.”

One of the worst injuries in all of sports is a torn or ruptured Achilles tendon. This is the type of injury that guarantees a lengthy recovery and even when you return, there is no guarantee that you will be the same player. These types of injuries are especially prevalent in the world of basketball, however, there have been a few football players who have suffered these injuries, as well.

Unfortunately, news broke earlier today that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers is now one of those players, as he tore his Achilles while training. According to ESPN, this injury will keep Akers out for the rest of the season, which means he will have to wait until next summer before he can get back on the field again.

Despite this bad news, Akers is keeping positive as he took to Twitter with a message for his fans. “I just want to thank any and every person sending prayers my way and wishing me well. I hate this happened but I’m in great spirits and I understand God makes no mistakes. I’ll be back better than ever in no time I’m a soldier. Again, thank you,” he wrote.

Last season, Akers played 13 games with the Rams and he was able to log 625 rushing yards as well as 123 passing yards. At 22 years old, he is a player with a lot of potential, and we wish him a quick and successful recovery.

Chris Paul is currently playing in his first career NBA Finals. It took Paul 16 seasons to get to this moment and at the beginning of the series, it looked like Paul was about to win his first title. The Suns blew out the Milwaukee Bucks in Games 1 and 2, all while shutting down players like Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. Unfortunately, Paul seemed flustered while in Milwaukee, and the Bucks were able to come back and tie the series up at two games apiece.

In Game 5, Paul had a strong fourth quarter but it was too little too late as the Bucks won their third-straight game, putting the Suns on the verge of elimination. Now, Paul needs to have one of the best games of his life if he wants to change the narratives about him being a choker.

Interestingly enough, one analyst has decided not to go too hard on Paul. While speaking to Dan Patrick, former NBA star Reggie Miller explained that Paul deserves some leniency since he had a tough road to the finals. Effectively, Miller wants to give Paul a pass that many other NBA stars simply wouldn’t be afforded under any other circumstances.

“I think Chris Paul will probably get a pass because of his age and because of the hard knocks that have taken Chris Paul to even get to the NBA Finals,” Miller said. Immediately after this take hit social media, fans began to direct some scrutiny towards the former Pacers sharpshooter as they felt like any other player would get criticized into oblivion for choking away a Finals series.

Of course, there is still time for Paul to fix things for the Suns, however, fans aren’t ready to let him off the hook if they lose tonight. Paul’s failures have added up over the years, and this would be his largest one.
