Russell Wilson Charity Allegedly Only Donates A Fraction Of Its Earnings

by

Russell Wilson is someone who has been hit with quite a bit of criticism over the last little while. Overall, the criticism has come thanks to his poor play out on the football field. For the most part, Wilson was not good this year with the Denver Broncos. He was a shell of his former self, and it had a lot of people questioning his future in the league. However, Wilson is getting a new coach in Sean Payton, and many believe this could turn him around. Although, there is certainly no guarantee that this will, in fact, be the case.

Now, however, Wilson is facing some new allegations that have to do with his work off of the field. As many of his fans already know, Wilson has been praised for his “Why Not You Foundation.” Just a couple of years ago, Wilson was named Walter Payton NFL Man Of The Year thanks to this effort. That said, a new investigation USA Today is shining some light on how the organization is allegedly using its funds.

Per the report, Wilson’s charity is only donating 24.3 cents on the dollar. This is less than one-fourth, and certainly not what many fans were bargaining for. These numbers were reported between 2020 and 2021, although it seemed like the charity was doing slightly better at allocating funds when it first began. “Form 990 federal tax returns from the nonprofit’s inception through 2021 show it reported $7.5 million in revenue and $7 million in expenses during its first eight years of existence,” the investigation reads. “Less than half of the money — $2.8 million, or 39.6 cents of every dollar spent — has gone to charitable activities, all as grants to other nonprofits.”

Wilson has yet to respond to these allegations. He is someone who has taken his image very seriously. Consequently, we are sure he will have something to say about this soon. Hopefully, he is able to provide clarity on the situation. In the meantime, you can stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

“When I got back after going out … I came into the lobby, and I talked to somebody,” Irvin explained. “I talked to this girl, I don’t know her, and I talked to her for about 45 seconds. We shook hands. Then, I left. … That’s all I know. I don’t really recall that conversation, to tell you the truth. We were out drinking. It was just a friendly conversation. ‘What’s up?’ I don’t even know. … I am totally perplexed.” Additionally, Irvin went on to say that he didn’t break a single law. He has no idea what he could have done wrong, and overall, he is just “perplexed.”

Aaron Rodgers Claims He Is Going To An “Isolation Retreat”

by

Aaron Rodgers is certainly one of the most interesting players in the entire NFL. Overall, the 39-year-old has fancied himself a unique thinker. One could even make the claim that he is exactly like the Kyrie Irving of the NFL. However, Rodgers typically plays when asked, so right there you have a difference between the two. Either way, Rodgers has been known to do things that go against the grain. It’s something he prides himself on, and that will not change anytime soon.

Now, Rodgers is in the offseason and he has a big decision to make. As it stands, it looks like the Green Bay Packers want to trade him. However, Rodgers has yet to say whether or not he wants that. Instead, he has been adamant that he is simply taking his time to make a decision. In fact, on The Pat McAfee Show today, Rodgers made a very surprising revelation.

Aaron Rodgers To Consume The Darkness

As you can see in the clip above, Rodgers is claiming that he has plans to do an “Isolation Retreat.” Essentially, these retreats put you in a house filled with complete darkness and no distractions. “You’re not locked in. You can leave. If you can’t do it, you can just walk out the door. But, it’s a darkness retreat,” Rodgers said. “I’ve had a number of friends who have done it and had some profound experiences and it’s something that’s been on my radar for a few years now and I felt like it’d be awesome to do regardless of where I was leaning after this season. So, it’s been on the calendar for months and months and months. And it’s coming up in a couple weeks.”

Rodgers made sure to say that if you are feeling too anxious, you can choose to leave the house. However, it is clear that Rodgers has every intention of completing this new mission. Only time will tell whether or not it gives him the answers he is so desperately looking for. Let us know where you would like to see Rodgers play, in the comments below.

“There’s always gonna be a part [of me] that wants to play and a part of me that, you know, feels like I can play,” Brady said. “I think there’s just a decision to know that it’s the right time. So I think for me it’s more of just, it’s gonna end at some point, and I think now’s the time. And it’s not that I can’t do it. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to do it. It’s not that I wouldn’t be excited to play. I love playing football. I’ve loved playing football since I was a kid on the street on Portola Drive. So I think it’s just a decision that it’s time to do other things.”

Initially, Brady said that he would only retire once he actually sucks at football. Now, however, it is clear that his priorities have changed. Besides, with seven Super Bowls to his name, it’s not like he actually had anything to prove to anyone. Let us know what you thought of Brady’s decision, in the comments below.

Tom Brady Offers Massive Update On His Future

by

Tom Brady retired from the NFL last week, and now, he has all the free time in the world. Today, he decided to post a thirst trap, and overall, people are feeling as if Brady is already bored. However, it doesn’t seem as though Brady is rushing to cure that boredom. He has made it painfully clear that he has no plans for the immediate future. From dating to his professional life, Brady would rather just chill at home than really go out and do anything significant. After dedicating 23 years of his life to the NFL, it is very hard to blame him.

As many fans already know, Brady is set to make $37.5 million per year, over 10 years with Fox Sports. This will ultimately have him in the booth doing color commentary like Tony Romo. This is a job that is perfect for Brady, although it is clear that he is no intentions of starting soon. In fact, Brady recently gave Colin Cowherd an exact timeline of when he intends to take the job.

Tom Brady Speaks

Basically, you can expect Brady in the booth as of the Fall of 2024. This means he will be taking an entire year of NFL football off before embarking on this new career path. As he explained, he is doing this because he wants to be fully committed. “One thing about my career, whether that was when I was drafted by the Patriots or signed in free agency with the Bucs, I wanted to be fully committed,” Brady said. “I never wanted to let people down — I think my biggest motivator was that. So, even in the future I want to be great at what I do and that always takes some time and strategizing and learning and growing and evolving.”

Overall, it is hard to blame Brady for this. Being a broadcaster is a whole lot of work, and you don’t want to resent your job because you didn’t take enough time off. Besides, this will make Greg Olsen happy as he seemed worried about Tom taking his job. For now, he can breath a bit easier knowing the job is still very much his.

Tom Brady Posts Underwear Thirst Trap To Promote His Brand

by

Tom Brady recently revealed to the world that he would be retiring from the NFL. Overall, this was a decision that fans kind of expected. After all, he is 45 years old and had played in the league for 23 years. Having said that, it was about time he hang up the cleats for good. With his seven Super Bowls and countless records, it’s not like Brady had anything left to prove. Additionally, his play had been declining over the last couple of seasons, and it was clear that if he continued on, things would just get worse.

Subsequently, Brady has all of the free time in the world. He can now go out and do as he pleases. This is especially true now that he is divorced. Although it has been reported that Brady has no plans to date, one can only assume he will be testing the waters very soon. He is now the most eligible bachelor in the state of Florida, and plenty of women would be tripping over themselves to date him.

Tom Brady Gets Half Naked

Beyond potential dating opportunities, Brady is paying attention to his various brands. Whether it be the TB12 Method or his Brady Brand underwear line, the legendary quarterback has a lot to preoccupy himself with. For now, however, it seems like the underwear line is what Brady is most interested in. Above, you can find Brady posing in nothing but his underwear. Overall, one might be asking why Brady is posting such a thirst trap. Some would say it’s because he is divorced and is trying to swoon the ladies out there. However, it is actually because Brady had made a bet back in June about recreating promotional pictures from his underwear line. After being reminded about the wager, Brady decided to uphold his end of the deal.

Consequently, fans began to make some hilarious comments under Brady’s post. Some felt like these pictures came out of nowhere, while most had no interest in seeing this. Either way, the picture is now on the internet forever, and Brady will just have to live with that. Although, it doesn’t seem like he is all that shy about it. Otherwise, he never would have taken this picture in the first place.

Joe Mixon Avoids Aggravated Menacing Charge: Details

by

Earlier today, we reported on how Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had been accused of aggravated menacing. According to reports, the running back allegedly pointed a gun at a woman on January 21st. Additionally, it was reported that he said “You should be popped in the face, I should shoot you, the police [can’t] get me.” Overall, it was quite a shocking story, especially when you consider how the alleged incident took place before the Division Round.

Subsequently, numerous people came out in defense of Mixon. For instance, his agent Peter Schaffer had quite a bit to say on the matter. “It was a rush to judgement,” Schaffer said. “I really feel that police have an obligation before they file charges — because of a damage that can be done to the person’s reputation — to do their work. They should be held to a higher standard. Because I don’t play with people’s lives.” Moreover, Mixon’s mom also gave some commentary on this matter. She eventually claimed that this was simply some sort of money grab.

Since this morning, Mixon has received some good news in regard to his case. According to ABC WCPO 9, Hamilton County Judge Curt Kissinger has signed a motion to dismiss the charges. Interestingly enough, it was the prosecution who opted to dismiss the charges first. Overall, they are not content with some of their evidence and are waiting to gather more information. However, they did note that should new evidence come through, they will file charges again. As it turns out, the alleged victim is still very much interested in pursuing the case.

For now, it remains to be seen if and when those charges will be refiled. No matter what, it comes as a breath of fresh air for Mixon, who was trending for all of the wrong reasons this morning. Throughout his time in Cincinnati, he has been an incredible player. He is one of those guys that the Bengals need to retain, and there is no telling what could come of this case. Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Aaron Rodgers Reveals Whether Or Not 49ers Are In His Plans

by

Aaron Rodgers is someone that always sparks rumors around the NFL. Over the past three seasons, it has always felt like his status with the Green Bay Packers was up in the air. However, on every single occasion, Rodgers has remained with the franchise. Needless to say, he has developed into the boy who cried wolf. That said, the rumors have started all over again, and now, it seems like the Packers are the ones ready to move on. Overall, they did not make the playoffs this year, and they seemingly want to test out Jordan Love for a year.

With all of this being said, it has been rumored that Rodgers could be on his way to the New York Jets. Additionally, there are reports suggesting that the Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers, and Las Vegas Raiders are all viable options for him. At the end of the day, he is a legendary quarterback, and all of these teams would be upgrading if they somehow got Rodgers. However, at least one of these teams appears to be out on the Rodgers sweepstakes.

Aaron Rodgers Speaks

While participating in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week, Rodgers was asked a very pertinent question while teeing off. This led to a pretty funny soundbite from Rodgers, who simply said “not going to San Fran.” Simply put, the 49ers are not getting him. Of course, this would be the ultimate full circle moment as Rodgers fully expected the Niners to draft him. Instead, they took Alex Smith. Regardless, this is unfortunate for the 49ers. Brock Purdy is going to be out for an entire season. Additionally, Jimmy Garoppolo won’t be returning to the team. Lastly, Trey Lance is still unknown, which means Rodgers would have been perfect as a transition quarterback. Although, this scenario simply isn’t in the cards.

The NFL offseason is definitely going to be a lot of fun. There is expected to be a ton of quarterback movement, and Rodgers will likely be part of that. Overall, there should be some great storylines to follow. Let us know where you think Rodgers should go, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Joe Mixon Allegedly Pointed Gun At Woman

by

Joe Mixon had another fantastic season with the Cincinnati Bengals. Overall, he was one of the best running backs in the entire NFL. Additionally, he helped bring the team to yet another AFC Championship game. Unfortunately for the Bengals, they were ousted by the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs. Either way, Mixon is 26 years old, and the Bengals see him as one of the key pieces of this offense.

As it turns out, however, Mixon has been hit with some very serious allegations. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Bengals superstar allegedly pointed a gun at a woman back on January 21st. This was just one day before the Bengals defeated the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round. Additionally, it is being claimed that Mixon said “You should be popped in the face, I should shoot you, the police [can’t] get me.”

Mixon’s agent made a statement to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. “It was a rush to judgement,” Peter Schaffer said. “I really feel that police have an obligation before they file charges — because of a damage that can be done to the person’s reputation — to do their work. They should be held to a higher standard. Because I don’t play with people’s lives.” Moreover, Mixon’s mom told Kelsey Conway that he didn’t do it and that this is simply a money grab. As for the Bengals, the organization is currently doing an internal investigation of the matter.

Overall, this is certainly not the story that Bengals fans were hoping to hear right now. Many are still reeling from the loss against the Chiefs, and now, serious allegations are being levied against their running back. For now, this remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates. Additionally, let us know your thoughts on these initial reports, in the comments down below.

Dan Orlovsky Destroyed Over His Bizarre Top 5 QBs List

by

Dan Orlovsky has quickly become one of the best analysts on ESPN when it comes to football. Although Orlovsky didn’t have a great career in the NFL, there is no doubt that he understands the game. Through shows like NFL Live, Orlovsky has been able to teach the average fan about quarterbacking. He knows all of the Xs and Os, and always brings a unique perspective. Overall, he is a huge addition to shows like First Take, even if Stephen A. Smith is constantly disagreeing with him.

Unfortunately, just like everyone else, Orlovsky is susceptible to some pretty bad takes. Whenever you get in the habit of being on these shows that are made specifically for arguments, you are bound to say something ridiculous. Consequently, it is something that has happened to pretty well everyone. However, when it does happen, you can expect it to go viral in the worst way possible. Today, that is exactly what happened to the former Detroit Lion.

Dan Orlovsky Vs. Keyshawn Johnson

In the video above, Orlovsky was asked to give his top five quarterbacks of all time. Shockingly, his picks were almost nonsensical. Overall, he had Tom Brady in first, which is fine. However, he had Dan Marino fifth, Peyton Manning fourth, John Elway third, and Patrick Mahomes second. Yes, that’s right, Joe Montana wasn’t even on the list. Moreover, he put Mahomes in at second even though he has only been in the NFL for six seasons. Subsequently, Damien Woody and Keyshawn Johnson were absolutely shocked. This eventually led to a conversation in which Orlovsky had a very hard time explaining himself. Furthermore, it felt like Orlovsky couldn’t get out of the corner he put himself in, leading to a hilarious exchange from the First Take panelists.

Orlovsky’s list is now being scrutinized on Twitter. Fans are pretty shocked that someone who knows so much about football would make a list like this. It is very obvious that Montana belongs in anyone’s top 5, regardless of the era he played in. However, Orlovsky clearly did not get that painfully obvious message. Let us know what you think of his list, in the comments down below.
