Tom Brady Delivers Emotional Retirement Message

by

Tom Brady has enjoyed one of the most historic careers in the history of the NFL. Throughout his 23-year career, he has won seven Super Bowls and has played in 10 of them. Additionally, he has the record for most yards and touchdowns, which makes him the GOAT.

Following his loss to the Cowboys a few weeks ago, Brady had a big decision to make regarding retirement. Interestingly enough, many felt as though he would return. Consequently, this led to speculation of where he would go, with the Las Vegas Raiders becoming a frontrunner.

Tom Brady Retires

Today, Brady revealed that he was actually just going to retire. Last year, he told everyone that he would be leaving the game. However, just a few months later, he decided to come right back out of retirement. Although this time around, Brady is confident that he is done for good.

“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady said. “I won’t be longwinded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me.”

This is certainly going to be some unfortunate news for all of his fans. Furthermore, this is a huge blow to the Raiders who were excited about him potentially joining the squad.

Brady enjoyed a historic career with plenty of amazing moments. Let us know your favorite Brady moments, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the football world.

by

Styles P plans to leave his solo career behind for good but his fans won’t be left empty handed.

This week, the rapper came through with his latest body of work, Penultimate: A Calm Wolf Is Still A Wolf. Unfortunately, it also marks the second to last album that he’ll unveil in his career. Ghost comes through with gritty, hardcore bars over grimy East Coast production. Though it’s not a boundary-pushing album, it’s a firm reminder of why Styles P stands as one of the greatest rappers of all time.

The 13-song tracklist includes appearances from Bucky and Brady Watt, who appears on the previously released single, “Death Before Dishonor.” On the production side, Styles P enlists Vinny Idol, Black Saun, Ty Feif, as well as his own son, Noah Styles, among others.

In October 2022, the Yonkers MC announced that he would be releasing two solo albums before stepping back from hip-hop. Thankfully, he won’t be entirely moved from hip-hop. He revealed that he remains one-third of The LOX and will continue to contribute to future group efforts.

“I will be retiring late 2023 as far as my solo career is concerned,” Styles P wrote. “I have two more solo projects for y’all and I’m Out!!! I’ll be on deck for all things LOX music, shows etccc.”

He added that he was also stepping down from his position at Juices 4 Life. 

Tom Brady Seems Fed Up With Retirement Questions

by

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are done for the season. After a bad loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Brady is now at home doing his Let’s Go! Podcast. That said, many are wondering whether or not he will call it quits. Overall, he is 45 years old and was clearly in decline this year.

Furthermore, it was reportedly made clear to his teammates that he would not return to the Bucs. However, there is a possibility that he comes back on another team, like the Las Vegas Raiders. No matter what, there will be a ton of fanfare surrounding this upcoming decision.

Tom Brady Speaks

As it turns out, Brady is quite annoyed when it comes to these upcoming decisions. Everyone seems to be asking him about his plans, and for now, he has no idea what he will do. In fact, he almost snapped at Jim Gray during the latest episode of his podcast.

“If I knew what I was going to f—ing do I would’ve already f—ing done it. I’m taking it a day at a time. I appreciate you asking. Thank you,” he said on the podcast. Needless to say, he doesn’t like being pestered for an answer, especially just one week following the end of his season.

Aaron Donald Appears To Tease Retirement On Twitter

by

NFL star Aaron Donald sent Los Angeles Rams fans into a frenzy on Sunday by seemingly teasing his retirement on Twitter. The 31-year-old changed the bio on his page to “former NFL D Lineman for the Rams.”

After followers began taking note of the change, Donald reverted his bio back to what it was previously. He dropped the “former.”

Donald’s wife, Erica, responded to the rumors, telling fans to “chillax” with a gif from The Office.

Donald hasn’t been shy about considering retirement in recent years. After the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl in 2022, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year admitted he might be done.

“I’ll be fine regardless, but me talking about retirement, that was happening way before we won a Super Bowl. I’ve been saying that since I got into the league I was going to play eight years and be done,” Donald explained. “That’s just what I’ve been saying. … If I was to play, it’s just to win another Super Bowl, but at the end of the day, it’s still a business and it got to make sense to me and my family.”

Retirement for Donald would come after one of the Rams’ most disappointing seasons in years. The reigning Super Bowl champion team won just five games while several of their top players suffered injuries. Additionally, they gave up their first round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Check out Aaron Donald’s updated bio on Twitter below, as well as his wife, Erica’s response.

However, after a monumental year in 2020, it didn’t appear as though the Buffalo native would be slowing down anytime soon. In the first month of 2021, he backtracked on his previous claims.

The announcement comes on the heels of yet another overwhelmingly active year from the 40-year-old. In July, he dropped the 10-track Peace “Fly” God. Additionally, the tenth and final instalment of his notorious HWH mixtape series arrived in October.

Shannon Sharpe Reacts To JJ Watt’s Retirement

by

Shannon Sharpe was one of the best tight ends to ever play the game of football. If you love football, then Sharpe is someone you should respect. He changed the position forever, and overall, he is one of the legends of the game who is arguably top 3 or 5 at his position.

These days, Sharpe can be seen on FS1’s Undisputed where he sits across from Skip Bayless. While these two tend to bicker a lot, there is no doubt that they have some interesting debates. Today, however, they reflected on a current NFL star, JJ Watt.

This is all because Watt revealed that he was going to retire from football at the end of this season. In the tweet down below, you can see that Watt signaled that this weekend was his last ever NFL home game. Overall, it was a shocking admission, although one that is highly respected.

Shannon Sharpe Pays Homage

Sharpe is someone who understands just how hard it is to retire. As a result, he respects Watt wanting to call it quits for his family. Additionally, Sharpe noted just how amazing Watt was and how he will likely go to the Hall of Fame one day.

“You can make the case he was the best player in football for some time. An impeccable career. I don’t think anybody saw THIS. Obviously, he’s going to Canton,” Sharpe stated.

Watt will certainly be going to the Hall of Fame, and it is likely he will be first-ballot. After all, he won three Defensive Player of the Year awards, and as Sharpe said, he was the league’s best player at one point. Hopefully, the Hall of Fame committee feels the same way.

Let us know what you think of Watt’s career, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the NFL.
