Chandler Jones Supposedly Handcuffed After Interaction With Police Officers At His Arizona Home: Watch

Ever since late September, Chandler Jones’ life has spiraled out of control. The former defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, and Las Vegas Raiders, is currently on his couch. After a series of concerning videos and arrests, the latter had no choice but to release him. The troubled NFL star rarely appeared for the recently relocated team, and when he did, Jones was not himself. The actions off the field were essentially the final straw, and it seems they are not stopping.

According to TMZ Sports, Jones was at his Arizona home when the police confronted him. As we mentioned earlier, he was handcuffed for violating protective orders. He did so twice, with the first instance involving him going to a woman’s home, stealing furniture, and setting ablaze in his yard. The new footage you can see below is from Monday morning.

Chandler Jones Looks To Be Arrested Again

The authorities audibly say, “Mr. Jones, we’ve got to talk about why we’re here now.” Immediately after, they tackle him to the ground as Jones’ phone camera goes black. The athlete shouts, “Wait! Wait! No!” TMZ Sports reached out to the Maricopa County officers for a word on this interaction to no avail yet. They were “there to help,” as this could be another case of him being forced into a mental hospital. Even with Jones not being the best law-abiding citizen, there could be some deeply rooted issues with him.

What are your initial thoughts on this latest police confrontation footage with Chandler Jones? Do you think all of these legal issues he is having are a culmination of a serious injury he suffered in the NFL? Will he ever return to the league, why or why not? If not, do you think he should seek help and move on from playing? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Taylor Swift’s Transformation Into An Irrational Football Fan Is Complete

taylor swift refs
FOX

The Kansas City Chiefs have been struggling offensively of late, at least relative to the sky-high expectations they’ve set for themselves with Patrick Mahomes under center.

This year, the Chiefs have had a middling offense and have struggled to both sustain and finish drives in the way we’re accustomed to seeing, largely because of an inconsistent passing attack. Drops have been a big issue for the Chiefs this year, as their receiving corps has been a disappointment, and even the tight ends, headlined by Travis Kelce, have had a tough last month-plus. However, a reprieve appeared to be coming Kansas City’s way on Sunday as they were in a prime “get right” spot against a woefully bad Patriots team.

While it took a bit to get going, the Chiefs eventually hit their stride to take a 27-10 lead in the second half. It could’ve been an even bigger lead, but a couple red zone possessions stalled out and resulted in field goals. One of those came in the early third quarter when a third down pass to Kelce in the back of the end zone fell incomplete, with the star tight end doing his best to flop and draw an interference penalty to get a first down. That was unsuccessful, but it did yield a new reaction meme in the form of Taylor Swift dropping an f-bomb trying to figure out where the flag was.

Watching Taylor Swift morph into a rabid Chiefs fan has been at true delight to watch this season, as she’s gone from happily cheering for big Kelce plays when they first started publicly dating to now being a full-on irrational fan like the rest of us. The telltale sign of that transformation is dropping f-bombs at the refs for not throwing flags on pretty clear non-calls, and Taylor puts her whole chest into this one.

This is what three months of being locked in on football will do to someone and it’s just nice to get confirmation in real time that it’s inevitable for anyone.

Birdman Reps The Saints As Part Of Drake’s OVO x NFL Collab

Birdman is someone who has repped for Louisiana quite a bit over the years. Overall, he has been a huge representative for Southern hip-hop, and he remains a powerful figure. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that he is a fan of the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are a team that has been around for a very long time. Moreover, they won a Super Bowl over a decade ago and have a fantastic history. For people in NOLA, the Saints are a very meaningful team, especially with how they rallied the city amid Hurricane Katrina.

Now, the Saints are part of the new OVO x NFL collaboration. This collaboration honors eight NFL teams with some incredible merch. This includes hoodies, shirts, and a gorgeous varsity jacket. The eight teams represented are the Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, and the New England Patriots. Birdman got to wear the Saints gear, and in the image below, you can see he looks good in black and gold.

Birdman For OVO

Previously, we actually got to see Snoop Dogg in the Steelers merch. Furthermore, Action Bronson was the one to showcase the New York Jets jacket.

These pieces are available now over at octobersveryown.com. They are all running out of stock fast, so you’re going to have to be fast in order to cop.

Panthers Tickets Are Less Than A Dollar On The Resale Market

Tickets for the Carolina Panthers game this weekend have fallen as low as $0.45 on the resale market. The team is 1-12 with little to no signs of improvement on the horizon. Furthermore, their league-worst record only aids the Chicago Bears, who own the Panthers’ first-round pick in next year’s draft. 2023 first-overall pick Bryce Young has been thrown into the fire. He has a little under 2200 passing yards on the season and has a 9-9 touchdown-to-interception rate.

Much of the blame for the Panthers’ failings can be placed on owner David Tepper. Tepper has time and time again shown that being a hands-on owner is not the best thing for a team if the owner’s vision is antithetical to that of the coaches and football staff. In a recent interview, Tepper nearly openly admitted that he preferred second-overall pick C.J. Stroud to Young. However, the pain of Panthers fans is set to continue for the foreseeable future. As mentioned, the team traded away their first-round pick, which will now end up being a top-three pick at season’s end.

NFL Headed To Brazil Next Season

Meanwhile, the NFL has announced that Brazil will host one of the league’s international series games in 2024. Announced at the ongoing owners’ meetings in Dallas, the game will be played at Corinthians Arena in San Paulo. The arena holds just over 49,000 spectators and is the home of Brazilian soccer giants SC Corinthians. Furthermore, the league also announced that the international series would expand to a slate of eight games in 2025. The number is opposed to the current slate of four.

“Becoming a global sport is a major strategic priority for the league and 32 teams. Increasing international game inventory allows us to grow our global presence and share our game with exciting new markets to connect with more fans around the world,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. The 2023 season saw games in London and Frankfurt. Conversations with organizers in Madrid will continue, the league also noted. The NFL hopes to host a game at the iconic San Bernabeu in the near future.

NFL Expands International Reach Ahead Of 2028 Olympics

While the NFL has been expanding its international impact for over a decade, a new pin on the calendar has added additional weight to the endeavor. 2028 marks the Olympic debut of flag football, a project that the NFL has long pushed for. However, the game still remains fairly limited in its international scope. When the news was originally announced, the internet was flooded with memes and mockery about how dominant the US team would likely be at the event.

However, for the moment, Brazil appears to be the league’s next focus. “There’s a lot of interest in the NFL. I mean, we saw it. We did a Super Bowl viewing party last year down in Brazil, and it was packed, and the energy is there. You’ve got some classic soccer clubs around the world who are really interested in hosting the NFL and building a relationship with the NFL. So, the marriage of those two interests there, for sure. It’s just determining the timing and the approach,” the NFL’s VP of international events told The Adam Schefter Podcast.

Drake Shows Love To Action Bronson With New NFL x OVO Collab

Drake and his OVO brand have done some very cool things over the years. Overall, one of their best collaborations has come with none other than NFL. This upcoming collaboration is set to come out later this week and will feature a plethora of varsity jackets relating to the teams in the league. So far, we have seen the Pittsburgh Steelers jacket, repped by none other than Snoop Dogg. Moreover, there is going to be a New York Jets jacket, and it was modeled by Action Bronson.

Bronson and Drake haven’t exactly communicated a lot in regards to the public eye. However, they are two men who are both entrenched in the hip-hop world. Consequently, it makes sense that they would eventually link up in one way or another. Below, you can see Bronson in the Jets jacket, and it is looking very good right now. OVO always comes through with some amazing collabs. However, they have clearly upped the ante with this latest one.

Drake x Action Bronson x OVO

According to HipHopDX, Drake ended up taking things a step further by reposting the photos of Bronson on his Instagram story. Moreover, he said that the rapper was one of his “favorite people.” Needless to say, these two have gotten to spend some time together. Drizzy is a student of the craft, and he is someone who listens to a whole plethora of different styles. Clearly, Bronson is someone who has inspired him along the way. Perhaps someday, we could get Bronson on a Drake album.

If you are interested in this collaboration, you will be able to cop these jackets as of Friday, December 15th, over at octobersveryown.com. Let us know what you think of the collection so far, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite artists, including all of their upcoming releases.

Does Taylor Swift Make Travis Kelce Better At Football?

Early in the public romance of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, CBS showed a hilarious graphic that implied Taylor Swift’s presence was making Travis Kelce better at football. However, is this still the case? Swift has now attended five Chiefs games. The team has gone 4-1 in those games. Furthermore, Kelce has 513 yards and two touchdowns. However, it should be noted that more than half of Kelce’s yardage in these games stems from monster performances against the Broncos and Chargers.

In comparison, Kelce has just 274 yards in the five games Swift didn’t attend since they went public. While he also put up two touchdowns in that run, the Chiefs only went 3-2. So yes, Taylor Swift is still making Travis Kelce a better player. However, as mentioned above, his Swift-attended appearances are somewhat skewed by some absolutely huge single-game performances. The Chiefs are next in action against the Bills this weekend.

Travis Kelce Jersey Goes For Record Price At Auction

Meanwhile, Swift might be having other effects on Kelce too. A jersey worn by Kelce during a 2019 game in Mexico City has been sold at auction for $37K. “This is an all-time record for a Travis Kelce game-used item. He has always been popular but the success of the Chiefs, as well as the publicity he’s gotten around his relationship with Taylor Swift, has added to his popularity and awareness among collectors,” Goldin Auctions owner Ken Goldin told TMZ.

Elsewhere, MGK recently offered Kelce $500,000 to move back to Cleveland. “I’m sure you get asked this question behind closed doors a lot, but I would be remiss if due to the nature of our friendship and just as a Clevelander if I did not insert this question personally. I will give you $500,000 cash upon arrival just for shopping or whatever you want. As well as matching that same amount as a donation to both of our high schools — both Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights — as well as everyday breakfast and coffee delivery from my restaurant, if you would just come home and put on these colors right here. Come on home, Trav! Come home, put these colors on and rock the city,” MGK said while calling into New Heights.

DeSean Jackson Says “F*ck The NFL” While Discussing His Post-Retirement Plans

DeSean Jackson may have made $91 million during his NFL career, but the recently retired veteran is far from done making stacks. “The hustler I am, I ain’t satisfied with the money I made in the NFL. I would meet you today, and you wouldn’t even think I made 100 plus million in NFL. Because guess what? That money right there, that’s going to make my future be cool for my kids. But right now, I still need bread, so I’m out here getting all type of stuff, going private equity, real estate. Sh-t, f-ck the NFL. That sh-t was cool, but what’s next? I’m trying to go touch some Magic Johnson-type sh-t,” Jackson told the No Jumper podcast.

Jackson recently signed a one-day contract with the Eagles to retire with the team. Jackson spent seven seasons in Philly, who drafted him in the second round of the 2008 Draft. Jackson’s career also saw him play in Washington, LA, Las Vegas, and Baltimore. However, Philly was the only place where he played more than two seasons.

Tyreek Hill Reveals His Post-Retirement Plan

However, Jackson isn’t the only one who intends on getting busy with non-football things after he retires. Earlier this year, Tyreek Hill revealed what he plans to do after he hangs up his cleats. “When I retire, bro, I really wanna be a porn star, bro. Like, dead serious,” Hill told Buccs wideout Mike Evans during a September livestream.

Hill has made no secret about his intentions to leave the league after the 2025 season. The star wideout will be 32 following Super Bowl 60 in February 2026, which will mark the end of the 2025 season. “I’m going for 10, man. I’m gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then I’m gonna call it quits. I want to go into the business side. I want to do so many things in my life, bro,” Hill said in a radio interview earlier this year. Hill is putting up record numbers in his second year with the Dolphins. After proclaiming that he wants to be the first 2000-yard receiver in NFL history, he appears well on his way to that goal. Through 12 games, Hill already has 1481 yards and 12 touchdowns. That means he needs 519 yards across the Fins’ final five games to crack 2000. If he can maintain his pace of 123.4 yards a game, he will finish the season with around 2100 yards.

Aaron Rodgers Says “Anything’s Possible” With Jets Return

Aaron Rodgers argued that he could return earlier than Christmas Eve if his recovery continues to go well. “Anything is possible. It feels great to be on the practice field, but I’m not anywhere near ready to play,” Rodgers told reporters on Thursday. The veteran QB was cleared for limited practice on Wednesday, giving the Jets 21 days to activate him from injured reserve. Rodgers will wait until next week to try practicing on back-to-back days. Furthermore, Rodgers will turn 40 this weekend.

For the time being, Tim Boyle will remain the Jets starter. “Yeah, we’re giving Timmy another shot to roll next week. Obviously, there are things that he could’ve done better. There are things he had no control over, and I know he battled out there, and we were able to get to certain calls that we were hoping to do. We were able to execute a lot of the different things that we wanted to execute. It just didn’t come to full fruition,” head coach Robert Saleh told reporters.

Rodgers Return Dependent On Playoff Chances

However, Rodgers reiterated that his return depends on whether the Jets can still make the playoffs. “I don’t think that would make a ton of sense. A comeback this year before the four-month mark would mean I’m not 100 percent healthy, so it’d be a risk for myself. For the team to sign off on if we’re out of it, I’d be surprised if they would OK that to come back,” Rodgers noted. Per ESPN, the 4-7 Jets have a less than 1% chance to make the playoffs. While a loss to Atlanta on Sunday wouldn’t eliminate, it would put the team one loss away from elimination.

Furthermore, the Jets don’t have the easiest schedule before Rodgers’ preferred return. Their slate includes games against the surging Texans and the division-leading Dolphins. However, not everyone is a fan of Rodgers’ decision to try and return this season. Chad Johnson pleaded with him to focus on recovery. Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith told the QB to “sit your a– at home.” Despite this, Rodgers appears set on at least entertaining the possibility of an unprecedented recovery.

Antonio Gates & Julius Peppers “Deserve” Hall Of Fame, Legendary Tight End Claims

Following the announcement that he is a Hall of Fame semifinalist, Antonio Gates has made a bold statement about how he feels about the decision. “I feel like, mentally. I belong in there,” Gates said. Furthermore, he also noted that fellow semifinalist Julius Peppers also deserved to join him in this year’s class. Additionally, Gates named Dwight Freeney, Andre Johnson, and Devin Hester as players who should get in.

Gates and company are some of the 25 names recently announced as the semifinal longlist for the upcoming Hall of Fame class. That list is due to be reduced to 15 next month before being reduced to just five. Each of those five men must then receive 80% of the votes from the Hall of Fame committee before they can join the Hall.

Who Are Antonio Gates & Julius Peppers?

Antonio Gates is one of the greatest tight ends in the history of the NFL. After playing at mid-major Kent State, Gates spent his entire 15-year NFL career with the Chargers. An eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time First-Team All-Pro, Gates racked up over 11,000 yards and over 100 touchdowns. What makes Gates even more impression is that he achieved all this without ever playing college football. While he did play at Kent State, he actually played basketball. He helped the Golden Flashes reach the Elite Eight in 2002 and was an All-American in 2003. His basketball jersey was retired in 2017, just the fourth jersey retirement in Kent State history.

Meanwhile, Julius Peppers was a defensive powerhouse. Drafted second overall in 2002 after a standout career at North Carolina. While, like Gates, he would never capture a Super Bowl ring, Peppers helped define the defensive end role in 2000s. A nine-time Pro Bowler, four-time First-Team All-Pro, and Defensive Rookie of the Year, few things were scarier to a quarterback than seeing Peppers on the edge. He spent time with the Panthers, Bears, and Packers. Since his retirement in 2018, he has been named to the Panthers Hall of Honor and as one of the “100 Greatest Bears of All Time”.
