Troy Aikman won three Super Bowls as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Overall, he is one of the franchise’s most respected legends. Moreover, he is a commentator for Monday Night Football, where he gets to voice his opinion on the biggest game of the week.

Troy Aikman Gives His Take

“I don’t want speak for Tom, I wouldn’t rule anything out,” Aikman said. I would bet that just nothing is off the table, as far as what may occur during the season or what Tom’s role may be.” Overall, this is a very safe and political answer. However, it really is all that can be said at this juncture. No one knows for sure whether or not Tom would want to play again. Moreover, at his age and circumstance, it just seems entirely unlikely. That said, Brady has been known to make some peculiar decisions over the years.

Hopefully, for the sake of his family, he remains retired. Not to mention, he wasn’t exactly his old self last season. He got blown out in the playoffs by the Dallas Cowboys, despite Dak Prescott being a frequent choker. That said, you can let us know what you think about Brady potentially coming back, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Several reports have confirmed that former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette was indicted last week by a grand jury in Vegas on assault with a deadly weapon and other illegal firearm violations.

According to reports, Arnette allegedly brandished a weapon at a valet at Park MGM when he produce a ticket to retrieve his vehicle. One attendant told authorities at the time that they thought Arnette “was going to shoot him and his manager” after hearing the “sound of a gun cocking.”

“I guess he didn’t know where his valet ticket was, he couldn’t find it,” a Metro police officer told the grand jury. “They didn’t want to give him his valet ticket and he got upset and produced a firearm and took the keys.”

Arnette was drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft in the first round by the Raiders. The 26-year-old signed a reserve/futures contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was released from his contract a little more than a week later after catching these charges.

Raiders Owner Mark Davis Calls Out Oakland Athletics

by

Mark Davis made the big move for his Raiders franchise. The Raiders moved from Oakland to Las Vegas and has turned out to be a great move for the franchise. Now it seems that another Oakland franchise is looking to make the move to Vegas. The Oakland Athletics have recently been involved in talks about moving the franchise. The Athletics play in a dreadful stadium. Recently it was discovered that opossum even lived in their press box. A move for Oakland’s baseball team is just a matter of time.

However, Davis is of the belief that the Athletics have handled the relocation poorly. According to Davis, the Athletics weren’t the best business partners when the Raiders shared a stadium with the team. According to Davis’ comments to TMZ, the Raiders owner still holds hate for the organization. “They marketed the team as ‘Rooted in Oakland,’ that’s been their mantra through the whole thing,” Davis said. “The slogans they’ve been using have been a slap to the face of the Raiders, and they were trying to win over that type of mentality in the Bay Area. Well, all they did was f*** the Bay Area.”

Mark Davis Not Happy With Athletics

When the Athletics do inevitably leave Oakland, it will be the third franchise in recent memory to do so. The Athletics will be following the Raiders and the Warriors out of time. As the Warriors now call San Francisco home. The Oakland Coliseum was once a proud place for sporting events. However, the relationship between the Raiders and Athletics slowly turned the Coliseum into a ghost of days gone by. However, Davis’ words do not seem that honorable. Since he also left Oakland for greener pastures.

Whatever the case may be, Oakland losing another professional sports team is sad. Although it is always sad to see a franchise be moved. Recently when the Rams moved back to Los Angeles, the move was a gut punch to St. Louis. St. Louis has proven to be an excellent sports town. As well as an excellent football town, as its residents fully support their XFL team. It’s never easy to see your favorite team move. As for Oakland fans, it’s going to happen for the second time in three years. Do you agree with Mark Davis on how the Athletics are handling the relocation process? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest sports news, keep it right here at HNHH.

Jimmy Garoppolo Finds A New NFL Home

by

Jimmy Garoppolo is a quarterback who has been through a lot over these past couple of years. Garoppolo first got his start with the New England Patriots, where he was the backup to Tom Brady. However, after some solid starts, Garoppolo went to the San Francisco 49ers where he become the starter. Overall, Jimmy G was very solid as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He even brought them to a Super Bowl back in 2020. Although, many felt like he was a bit of a dead end for that team, and he wasn’t the QB of the future.

At the start of this past season, Garoppolo was subsequently placed on the bench in favor of Trey Lance. Eventually, Lance got injured and Garoppolo had to come back in. For a large chunk of the season, Jimmy G was great, until he got injured and replaced by Brock Purdy. Following an exit in the NFC Championship game, it became clear that the team was looking to move on from Garoppolo. Consequently, he has been trying to find a new team that will pay him a worthwhile salary.

Jimmy Garoppolo Finds His Team

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Garoppolo has found just that. Today, he signed a massive three-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. This contract is worth $67.5 million and $34 million of that will be guaranteed. Now, the team is going from Derek Carr, to Jimmy G. Depending on who you ask, this is going to be seen as a downgrade. However, Garoppolo has actually won in the playoffs, which will separate him. No matter what the Raiders did at quarterback, it was going to be hard for them to compete in the AFC West.

There are plenty of other great storylines to watch in the NFL right now. For instance, Odell Beckham Jr. is trying to get back into the league. Moreover, Aaron Rodgers is in the midst of making his big decision. It is going to be fun to watch, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news from the sports world.

“Raider Nation it breaks my heart I didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye in person,” Carr said. “We certainly have been on a roller coaster in our 9 years together. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful and appreciative of the years of support you have to my family and me. We had our share of both heart breaking moments and thrilling game winning drives, and it always felt like you were there next to me.”

Carr continued by noting just how hard he worked during his time with the franchise.

“It’s especially hard to say goodbye because I can honestly say that I gave you everything I had, every single day, in season, and in the off season,” Carr explained. “It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I hope that I was able to leave you with more than a few great memories as Raider fans.”
