Russell Wilson Reacts To Report That He Wanted Pete Carroll Fired

by

Russell Wilson used to be one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL. However, over these past few years, he has not been as good as he used to be. Furthermore, there have been all sorts of reports about the preferential treatment he gets from management. We have also seen various former teammates of Wilson’s come out and say that he doesn’t like talking to his guys. This is certainly odd behavior from a quarterback and it is not conducive to a winning culture. Just ask the Denver Broncos who stunk this past season.

Now, a new report from The Athletic is suggesting that Wilson was actively trying to get his former head coach fired. No, we are not talking about Nathaniel Hackett. During his last season in Seattle, Wilson reportedly wanted Pete Carroll fired in favor of Sean Payton. However, the Seahawks organization made it clear that that wasn’t going to happen. Instead, they kept Carroll and traded Wilson. In the end, the Seahawks won as they made the playoffs while the Broncos were embarrassed.

Russell Wilson Speaks

Subsequently, Wilson has responded to the report from The Athletic. As you can see in the tweet above, he is denying that this ever happened. Furthermore, Wilson was also complimentary of his former head coach. “I love Pete and he was a father figure to me and John believed in me and drafted me as well,” Wilson said. “I never wanted them fired. All any of us wanted was to win. l’ll always have respect for them and love for Seattle.” Of course, this could just be a statement to save face. However, for now, one must take Wilson’s word at face value.

No matter what, this is a very bad look for Wilson. His reputation has taken a massive hit over the last few years, and it is going to take a while before it builds back up again. Whether or not Sean Payton can fix him, still remains to be seen. If one thing is for sure, however, Payton will hold him accountable. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the football world.

Stephen A. Smith Goes Scorched Earth On Russell Wilson

by

Stephen A. Smith is notorious for speaking his mind on all things related to the wide world of sports. However, it should be noted that Smith is fair in his assessments. He never goes after people who simply do not deserve it. Overall, he just wants to hold these athletes accountable, which is certainly a noble cause. Although he is mostly a basketball guy, there is no doubt that Smith knows quite a bit about football. Whenever he talks about the sport, he brings that same passion and fire he does to the game of basketball.

Over these last few months, Stephen A. has had to talk a lot about Russell Wilson. Ever since being traded to the Denver Broncos, Wilson has been awful. The team didn’t even come close to the postseason this year, and Wilson was dreadful to watch. Furthermore, his play was so bad that he ended up getting his head coach fired. Now, there are reports that he was trying to get Pete Carroll fired in Seattle. While Wilson denies this, Smith is still taking issue with Russ, who has been a bit of a diva these last couple of years.

Stephen A. Popped Off On “First Take”

In the video clip above from this morning’s First Take, it is clear just how strongly Smith feels about all of this. In fact, one could even Stephen A. as going scorched earth on the quarterback. Overall, his comments were quite piercing, and there is no doubt that many others feel the exact same way about Wilson. “Russell Wilson this past season stunk so much they smelt him from the Mile High City to South Beach to damn L.A. That’s how bad he was,” Smith said. This is a very strongly-worded take, although he’s not wrong. Russ was horrible last year, and he must be better.

For the Broncos, this year will be make-or-break for them in the Russell Wilson era. Sean Payton is coming in as the head coach, and if he has another losing season, it will be an embarrassment. Hopefully, for Broncos fans, the old Russ returns. If he doesn’t, then that fanbase will never forgive the front office for making that trade.

Patrick Mahomes Sets The Record Straight On Eric Bieniemy

by

Patrick Mahomes is currently on top of the world right now. Overall, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions for the second time in four seasons. Consequently, Mahomes is being looked at on the same level as legendary quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Joe Montana. He still has a lot of work to do before he gets to Tom Brady, however, he is most definitely on the right track. Heading into next year, the Chiefs are the favorites, and with Mahomes at the helm, it is impossible to deny their strength.

Although, the Chiefs will now have to go into next season with a new Offensive Coordinator. Eric Bieniemy has been passed up for numerous head coaching jobs, and some believe it is because of Andy Reid. As a result, Bieniemy decided to leave the Chiefs to pursue the Offensive Coordinator role in Washington. Subsequently, Bieniemy got to face the media yesterday, where he was asked all sorts of questions. For instance, he was asked about LeSean McCoy who had some bad things to say about the OC.

Patrick Mahomes Speaks

Bieniemy handled the question with class and showcased how he plans to take the high road on these matters. Patrick Mahomes was impressed with Bieniemy’s response and took to Twitter to demonstrate just how great his former OC truly is. “There should be no questions on how great of a man/coach Coach Bienemy is,” Mahomes wrote. “His leadership has a direct impact on the player/person i am today! 10+ years learning under one of the greatest coaches of all time.. and i cannot wait for him to continue to prove doubters wrong!” With Mahomes giving Bieniemy the stamp of approval, it is clear that McCoy is just salty.

Now, Bieniemy will get to prove himself with an offensive core that definitely needs work. There is no telling what the Commanders can accomplish next season. However, the NFC East is wide open and there for the taking. If he can elevate those players to just a fraction of what the Chiefs are, then we are looking at something special. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

CeeDee Lamb’s Massive Back Tattoo Includes Kobe Bryant

by

CeeDee Lamb has been having a great few years with the Dallas Cowboys. Overall, many can make the argument that he is the team’s number-one option. Quarterback Dak Prescott loves throwing to him, and at this point, they will be a dynamic duo for years to come. Although the team didn’t go as far as anyone would have liked, there is always next year. The Cowboys are building something solid, and Lamb will likely be part of it for a long time. At least Cowboys fans hope that this is the case.

Now, the offseason is here, and Lamb can finally relax for a little bit prior to training camp. For every player in the league, now is the time to do the things you otherwise wouldn’t be able to do during the season. One such activity is getting a tattoo. Although tattoos don’t affect your performance, getting them can be a very strenuous process. Firstly, there is a time commitment. Secondly, you have to heal from them. Getting a massive fresh tattoo can be impractical, especially if you have workouts just hours later. Having said that, Lamb has taken the time to get his entire back inked up.

CeeDee Lamb Back Tat

In the post above, Tattoo Artist Andres Ortega posted a masterpiece that he tattoed on Lamb’s back. Ortega works at Onder Ink in Phoenix, Arizona, and you can tell that he is a master of his domain. This tattoo has plenty of elements to it, including a spartan, a cross, Interstate 45, a huge tiger, and even Kobe Bryant. Every single moving piece of this tattoo looks amazing, and we’re sure Lamb loves his new ink. However, we also bet that was extremely painful. These kinds of tattoos take hours to complete and they have to be done over multiple sessions.

After the healing process, Lamb will be able to get back onto the field for some off-season workouts. We’re sure he is going to be extremely motivated, especially given everything the Cowboys have done over the last year. Let us know your thoughts on the tattoo, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the football world.

Michael B. Jordan Teams Up With Eli Manning To Recreate Famous OBJ Catch

by

Eli Manning is perhaps the most legendary player in the history of the New York Giants. Although he was by no means the best quarterback in the league, he was able to win two Super Bowls. Fans of the Giants look back fondly on his time with the team, especially since he beat the Patriots in two different championship games. At this point, many are just waiting to find out if he will ever be placed into the Hall Of Fame. Some believe he doesn’t deserve it, however, there are plenty of others out there who see it in his future.

Overall, Manning is still a legend and that will not change. He is loved in New York City, and he has plenty of celebrity fans. One such person is Michael B. Jordan, who grew up as a Giants fan. According to TMZ, Manning linked up with MBJ for The Eli Manning Show, which is part of the Giants’ media offering. The two met at the Giants’ facility where Jordan got to dress up in full Giants gear. Subsequently, he got to catch passes from Manning.

Eli Manning x MBJ

In the video clip up above, you can see Manning and Jordan recreating the iconic one-handed grab by Odell Beckham Jr. This is widely regarded as one of the greatest catches in the entire history of the NFL. Consequently, you can imagine just how excited Jordan was to recreate it with an iconic quarterback. However, as you will see, Jordan had to grab it with two hands. At this point, his coordination is not up to par with the professionals. Either way, it was a cool moment for him, as well as Manning who is the man behind that infamous pass.

While the Giants have been bad as of late, they were back to winning ways this season. Overall, it was a solid year that Manning and Jordan could be proud of. Daniel Jones is playing well enough to win, and he is in for a big payday. Needless to say, bright days are ahead for the New York Giants franchise. Whether or not this is maintained, remains to be seen.

Aaron Rodgers Officially Emerges From The Darkness

by

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football. However, he is certainly someone who has a bit of an interesting way of going about things. Overall, his “free thinking” ways have given him a similar reputation to that of Kyrie Irving. Despite this, Rodgers has remained true to himself and is strong in his convictions. He is always speaking his mind, and he does not hold back when something rubs him the wrong way. For better or for worse, he is 100 percent himself at all times.

Recently, Rodgers was laughed at by the NFL community for his revelation that he would be going to a darkness retreat. Essentially, he would be spending a few days in the dark and during this time, he would contemplate his NFL future. Consequently, fans had a whole bunch of questions about this “darkness retreat.” After all, the entire concept of it seems pretty ridiculous. However, Rodgers was ready to take it seriously, and now, the experience seems to be over.

Aaron Rodgers Is Back

According to reporter Xuan Thai of ESPN, Rodgers had been in the darkness retreat for the past few days. Although, it has since been revealed by the owner of the property that he has left. Interestingly enough, this darkness facility is quite the place. As Adam Schefter laid out in the tweet above, there was 300 square feet of space where Rodgers was staying. Moreover, Rodgers was left with no light sources or technology of any kind. Thankfully, he did have a bed and a bathroom, with a mat for meditation purposes, for good measure. For now, though, we do not know how Rodgers felt about the experience. We’re sure he will tell Pat McAfee, soon enough.

This should lead to some interesting results for Rodgers and the Packers. The team is prepared to trade him anywhere should he decide he wants to leave. For now, teams like the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders seem to be in the running for the QB. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates.

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.

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.
