Less than a month after yielding two receptions in Super Bowl LVII for the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver Zach Pascal was the victim of an armed robbery in his hometown of Upper Marlboro, Md.
According to reports, this past Friday(March 3), two assailants approached Pascal armed with a weapon and stripped him of his diamond chain. The 29-year-old suffered minor injuries as a result of the robbery.
The Eagles made a statement regarding their recently acquired free agent, saying, “The organization is aware of the matter involving Zach Pascal. We have been in contact with Zach and are happy to hear he is doing fine.”
No arrests have been made as the assailants are still at large.
The Drake curse is alive and well, it seems. Over the years, the phenomenon has taken a grip on the sports world. Some fans and teams believe that meeting Drake around game time can result in a loss. Take the World Cup, for example. Team Canada’s Alphonse Davies posted a flick of himself with the Her Loss rapper days before they were eliminated. At this point, Canadian supporters believed it to be the return of the Drake curse. However, this theory has been disproven on several instances, including over the Super Bowl weekend.
Just before the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles went head-to-head for the Lombardi, Drizzy hit the ‘Gram to reveal who he put his money on. The Canadian rapper banked nearly a million on the Chiefs, revealing his “psychotic” bets just days before the big game. Many felt as though the odds would be in Philly’s favor. In fact, the Eagles were 1.5-point favorites ahead of the Super Bowl. However, the Chiefs came out on top, proving that the Drake curse might not actually be real.
Following the Chiefs win, Drake didn’t take long to troll the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as hometown heroes Lil Uzi Vert and Meek Mill. The rapper teamed up with Stake for a skit titled Drizzy Drake And The Tale Of The Reverse Curse which follows Drake on game day. The rapper rocks an Eagles jersey while pulling of the Lil Uzi Vert dance to “I Wanna Rock” then rapping along to Meek’s “Dreams and Nightmares Intro.”
“The Reverse Curse,” Drake captioned the post along with a money face and laughing emojis. The rapper ended up winning some major loot by the end of the night last Sunday. Per Markets Insider, Drake cashed out on $512,000 in Bitcoin winnings as the Chiefs took home the trophy for the third time. The Canadian rapper evidently worked the curse in his favor and now he’s up by half a million. Check out the clip above and sound off with your thoughts on the Drake curse in the comments.
Super Bowl LVII was a smash hit– with the Kansas City Chiefs holding a tight victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The game was broadcast on Fox and aired on additional digital platforms. The program averaged 113 million viewers, according to early Nielsen data. That makes this game the most-watched Super Bowl since 2017’s Patriots vs. Falcons match, which was also telecast on Fox. Additionally, the audience views skyrocketed to 118.7 million viewers at the time of Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. This marks the most-watched halftime show since Katy Perry’s 2015 performance, complete with sharks. Rihanna’s halftime show is the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history
Super Bowl LVII took place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Kickoff began just after 6:30 p.m ET/3:30 p.m. PT. The audience for the 2023 game is a relatively small rise from the 112.3 million viewers that watched 2022’s match between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. Last year, audiences tuned in to NBC for the game, so Fox gets bragging rights for significantly beating its own viewership results from the last time airing the program in 2019. That game, Super Bowl LIV, took place in Miami and brought in 102 million viewers.

When it comes to digital statistics, Fox says that Super Bowl LVII had about 7 million streams. That makes it the most-streamed Super Bowl in history. That’s an 18% increase from last year’s super bowl, and a 103% increase from the last time Fox took the reigns in 2020. That year held 3.4 million streams. Fox Deportes aired the Spanish-language version of the Super Bowl. They set a record for the most-watched Super Bowl game in Spanish-language cable television history. 951,000 people watched, which is a 25% increase from Fox Deportes’ views from 2020. This year’s Super Bowl was also the most-watched non-soccer event to be viewed in Spanish-language cable history.
The NFL had an impressive set of ratings this season, so critics anticipated the impressive Super Bowl LVII numbers. The regular season that led up to the game held record-breaking numbers across Fox, NBC, and CBS. Last month, there were strong ratings for the NFC and ACF championship games. The telecast of the Chiefs vs. Bengals game was the most-watched NFL conference championship game in four years. Ratings were 11% higher than last year’s AFC title game, making it the most-watched TV Program on any network since Super Bowl LVI. This, of course, is no longer true. Super Bowl LVII now broke that record.
Jalen Hurts is not a Super Bowl champion. The Philadelphia Eagles, who Hurts quarterbacks, fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 on Sunday (Feb. 12). However, despite a Sul-crushing defeat, Hurts played phenomenally. In his third season in the NFL, Hurts debatably outplayed the league and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes, who has been Kansas City’s QB since 2017, had 182 passing yards while completing 21 of his 27 attempts. This manifested into 3 touchdowns. Additionally, he ran for 44 yards on a bum ankle. Hurts, on the other hand, threw for 304 yards while completing 27 of 38 attempts. He added 70 rushing yards to that with a total of 4 TDs.
The 24-year-old Texan had an incredible evolution this season, and last night’s game was the ultimate showcase of that growth. Philadelphia fans first saw him as incapable of being a starting QB in the league. Now, he is arguably one of the five best in the game. In Super Bowl LVII, Jalen became the only QB in the history of the big game to lose while producing 4 touchdowns. Additionally, Sunday’s 300 pass yards, 50 rush yards, and 3 rush TDs from Hurts was the second time he accomplished those numbers in his career. No other QB in the history of football has had a game with those numbers. Needless to say, he is legit. But, what makes him even more special is how excellent of a person he is off the field.
Jalen Hurts’ Humility
Jalen Hurts is truly wise beyond his years. Doing your media session after a Super Bowl loss is always difficult.
Watch Hurts listen, smile, and give a heartfelt answer to this question from @GioThePodcaster.
After his tough defeat, Hurts was tasked with going to the podium for a press conference. In typical fashion, players on the losing end aren’t too fond of these postgame pressers. But, when asked by a child reporter his thoughts on the game, Jalen answered with thoughtfulness and grace. “What is one lesson that you learned from this game that you’ll take on to the next?” the kid asked. “I think you want to cherish these moments. You want to cherish these moments with the people that you’ve come so far with. Your family, your loved ones, your teammates, your peers, everyone that you do it with and do it for,” Hurts responded.
“I’m so proud of this team for everything that we’ve been able to overcome.,” Hurts continued. “Obviously we had a big time goal in the end that we wanted to accomplish and we came up short. I think the beautiful part about it is everyone experiences different pains, everyone experiences different agonies of life but you decide if you want to learn from it. You decide if you want to use that to be a teachable moment. I know what I’ll do.” Although he wasn’t a winner on the field Sunday, Jalen Hurts’ winning attitude off of it will continue to pay dividends in the future.
Stephen A. Smith is easily one of the most famous commentators when it comes to the sports world. Overall, he is someone who shares his opinions in a very entertaining way, and that has always attracted people. He has been running ESPN for years at this point, and First Take remains one of the biggest and best shows on the network. That said, Smith has been in Arizona as of late for the Super Bowl. Consequently, fans have been eager to hear what he would say about the big game. After all, last night’s match turned out to be an instant classic between two juggernauts.
By now, most fans know that the game was won by the Kansas City Chiefs. Overall, it was an amazing performance by Patrick Mahomes, who led a second-half comeback. Additionally, players like Isiah Pacheco were special throughout the match and contributed to a memorable win. Now, Mahomes is already considered to be a legend of the sport, while Jalen Hurts still has time to potentially get to a similar point. Either way, it was a great night for sports fans.
Stephen A. Speaks
.@stephenasmith thinks the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win was a comeback rather than an Eagles collapse:
“It comes down to Andy Reid being a superior coach to Nick Sirianni in the second half, and Patrick Mahomes being that superstar that he is.” pic.twitter.com/vH9zjCGK1J
As for Stephen A., he had an interesting reaction to the Super Bowl. In the clip above, Molly Qerim asked Stephen A. whether or not this was a Chiefs comeback or an Eagles collapse. Smith went on to say this was actually a Chiefs comeback. This is interesting as typically, Smith goes with the negative approach. However, this time around, he gave the Chiefs their flowers. Furthermore, he also praised head coach Andy Reid for his game. “It comes down to Andy Reid being a superior coach to Nick Sirianni in the second half, and Patrick Mahomes being that superstar that he is,” Smith said of the Chiefs.
If you are a fan of football, then last night’s game was a true delight to watch. Sure, it may have been difficult to stomach if you’re an Eagles fan, but no matter what, you got to witness greatness. Let us know what you thought of the Super Bowl, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
Patrick Mahomes Sr. has a lot of reasons to be proud of his son. Of course, Mahomes was playing in the Super Bowl last night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Overall, this was a very entertaining game in which the Chiefs won on a last-second field goal. The final score was 38-35, and it included three touchdown passes from Mahomes. Furthermore, he ran for 44 yards which is pretty impressive when you consider how he twisted his ankle. In every way possible, this was simply a fantastic Super Bowl that fans will remember forever.
Not to mention, this is one of those games that will define Mahomes’ legacy. Now, the 27-year-old has two Super Bowl titles to his name. That puts him just two away from tying Joe Montana, and it puts him five away from Tom Brady. The chase is on and there is a real sense that he can someday smash all of the records in front of him. Patrick Mahomes Sr. certainly believes in him, and he was definitely having fun with the celebratory libations last night.
In the video clip above, Mahomes Sr. can be seen smoking a cigar. Just a couple of weeks ago, he told reporters that he was “smoking that Joe Burrow.” Subsequently, fans were excited to hear what he would say this time around. When he was ultimately asked what he was smoking, he said it was a “Philly Blunt.” Overall, it was a humorous thing to say, and the commenters on the tweet above agree. Patrick Mahomes Sr. has become a star of this Chiefs playoff run, and fans will be hoping for him to pop out at the parade.
As for his son, there is a lot to celebrate this morning. He won the second Super Bowl of his career, and it is a victory he will cherish for a long time. Hopefully, Mahomes can get back to the Super Bowl soon, and get that third one before he turns 30. That would make for a huge story and would immediately catapult him as one of the greatest ever. Let us know what you thought of the Super Bowl, in the comments down below.
Skip Bayless is one of the most successful trolls in the world. Although fans seem to hate him most of the time, they always acknowledge just how entertaining he is. Overall, he is one of those people who knows exactly how to push your buttons. At times, his opinions seem authentic. However, it is very clear that he is doing things that will intentionally trigger you. It’s his tactic to secure ratings for Undisputed and for the most part, it is working out very well for him. Love him or hate him, he will continue to be around for a long time.
Last night was an interesting night for Bayless as it was the Super Bowl. This is one of the biggest sporting events of the year, especially in North America. For Bayless, it was a fun matchup as it included a quarterback he loves to hate, Patrick Mahomes. Moreover, it also included the Philadelphia Eagles who are a nemesis of his Dallas Cowboys. Needless to say, Bayless could be found rooting against both teams. After all, he is the world’s biggest hater.
In the end, the Philadelphia Eagles lost after giving up 38 points. It was a horrible defensive effort that subsequently led to a rant from Bayless. Above, you can see one of Skip’s scary-looking close-up videos in which he goes off on the Eagles. Throughout this clip, Bayless claims that the Eagles defense is awful and that next year, the Cowboys will defeat them in both meetings. Overall, it was yet another antagonistic message from Bayless who understands just how hated he is. Furthermore, it was another reason to be on Twitter as the Super Bowl provided some great reactions and commentary.
For Eagles fans, this just rubs salt in the wound. Eagles fans are already aware of the fact that this was not a great game for them. However, they do have a great quarterback in Jalen Hurts. There is a very good chance they get back to the Super Bowl at some point, and they will have a very good chance at winning. Let us know what you thought of the Super Bowl, in the comments down below.
The Kansas City Chiefs just emerged victorious against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII. Moreover, their victory was hard-fought, well-earned, and the product of an incredibly close game. For viewers who don’t often watch football and hardcore fans alike, it was a nail-biting game. In fact, the two teams were neck and neck for the majority of the game, trading touchdowns and massive plays. However, the game-winning play didn’t come without some controversy.

Moreover, this is yet another Super Bowl win for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Also, the quarterback is now the NFL MVP, becoming the first player to do so and win a Super Bowl since 1999. Given this is the most competitive night in the world for some, it’s not surprising to see some conflict come up. Furthermore, a touchdown and two-point conversion from the Eagles tied the game with 5:15 left. Then, the Chiefs marched down the field with the ball, arriving at Philly’s 15-yard line with two minutes to spare. As Kansas faced a third-and-8 that went incomplete, things looked doable for the Eagles.
However, a flag changed the entire game. According to officials, James Bradberry (defensive back for the Eagles) committed a holding on Chief player JuJu Smith-Schuster that prevented his running route. Moreover, the call meant five yards and fresh downs for the now-Super Bowl LVII victors. Of course, that was all Mahomes needed. After that call, Kansas killed the clock with three plays and set up a 27-yard field goal from Harrison Butker. In the move that sealed their win, his goal gave KC the 38-35 lead.
Meanwhile, the Eagles’ final play was a throw from Jalen Hurts that didn’t reach the end zone. So, Mahomes and company scored Super Bowl No. 2 for the Chiefs. Overall, it was an incredible game and an overall wonderful night for entertainment. Between Rihanna’s halftime show and commercials galore, any pop culture fan had something to celebrate. However, what did you think about that game-winning call for the Chiefs and the game in general? Regardless of your emotions, tell us in the comments and come back to HNHH for some heated Super Bowl discussion.
Tomorrow’s highly anticipated Super Bowl is inching closer and closer. Fans are already becoming more excited about what will unfold at the big game. Of course, a hot topic amongst the hip-hop community as of late has been which song the Philadelphia Eagles will select as their anthem. Previously, Meek Mill’s “Dreams & Nightmares” was an obvious front-runner. Since Lil Uzi Vert dropped off “Just Wanna Rock,” however, the former artist has been feeling some competition.
DJ Drama is the one who sparked a massive debate between the two. He claims that the “Uptown Vibes” hitmaker made an undeniably great track. Still, the Generation Now artist’s newer song ultimately comes out on top between the two. Earlier this month, Meek shut down the label head’s comments, pointing out the longevity of his fan-favourite title’s intro. Ahead of tomorrow’s match, the rapper caught up with TMZ in Arizona, sharing more thoughts on the two songs.
While chatting with the outlet, the South Philly native suggested a more inclusive approach for the Eagles. The team should come out to “Just Wanna Rock,” showing love to LUV. When they take home the Lombardi Trophy, “Dreams & Nightmares” will blast in celebration, Mill says. The latter song has been playing inside Lincoln Financial Field for over a decade now.
Meek was previously incarcerated when his hometown team last made it to the Super Bowl in 2017. Due to this, he missed out on some major moments and is obviously looking forward to seeing a potential win play out in person this year.
While many attendees of tomorrow’s big game will be focused on the football (and which hip-hop anthem the Eagles show favour to), others are tuning in simply to watch Rihanna’s historic return to the stage. The new mother has been hard at work for the past few months, preparing what sounds like a jam-packed performance for excited fans both in the stadium and at home.

Earlier this week, the “Umbrella” songstress sat down with Apple Music to dish about her process in getting ready for the big event. Additionally, it was revealed that Rih surprisingly won’t be getting paid for her upcoming work at the Super Bowl. Read more about that here, and tell us if you’ll be tuning into tomorrow’s game in the comments below.
