During a recent episode of Nightcap, Shannon Sharpe opened up about what he’s looking for in a partner. He and co-host Chad Johnson were discussing actress Yvonne Orji revealing that she’s still a virgin at the age of 39. Johnson claimed that this makes her the perfect partner for Sharpe, however, he objected.
“This god-fearing woman, who has her priorities aligned in the right place,” Johnson explained to Sharpe in attempts to convince him. “This woman is walking the path of righteousness and is living her life the right way.” According to Sharpe, Godliness isn’t his first priority when seeking a potential mate. He shared that instead, he’d prefer to date someone who isn’t afraid to spice things up here and there.
“I’m looking for a sinner,” he explained before citing adult actress Miss B Nasty as a potential match. “I don’t want nobody who is walking the straight and narrow.” The revelation managed to shock viewers as well as Johnson, as it’s not often that the Hall of Famer is so open about his sexuality. Another person to be shocked by Sharpe’s response was none other than Miss B Nasty herself, who recently posted a clip of herself reacting to the unexpected conversation.
In the clip, Miss B Nasty is seen wide-eyed, covering her mouth in shock. It doesn’t seem as though she’s completely opposed to the idea, though she clearly didn’t expect it. Yvonne Orji isn’t the only person Johnson’s tried to match Sharpe up with as of late, however. In October, he suggested that Kim Kardashian and Sharpe would make a good pair, after the reality star and businesswoman revealed that she’s looking for an “older guy” following her Pete Davidson split. What do you think of Shannon Sharpe claiming that he’s looking for someone like Miss B Nasty? How do you feel about the adult actress’s response to his revelation?

Chad Johnson made an impassioned plea to Aaron Rodgers this week, asking the veteran QB to stay sidelined instead of trying to force an expedited return to the field. “Don’t do it. You’re going to reinjure yourself. It’s too soon. You have to understand. There are few injuries that you don’t want to play with. You don’t want to play with anything having to do with your groin, your Achilles, or your knees. You don’t rush back from those. I don’t care what your doctors tell you,” Johnson said via TMZ.
Rodgers went down four plays into his debut with the Jets back in September. However, the alternative medicine practitioner has recently hinted that he is just a few weeks away from being ready to play again. Given that Achilles tears tend to need 6-9 months to heal, it’s practically a miracle that Rodgers is seemingly bouncing back from one in half that time. Without Rodgers at the helm, the Jets are 4-4. The team has one of the best defenses in the league most weeks. However, there is little to no life on offense to help win games. This week, the Jets take on the 4-5 Raiders in Vegas. The Jets are favored by a single point in the matchup.
Rodgers Making Millions From Pat McAfee Show Appearances
However, the time on injured reserve hasn’t been all bad for Rodgers. According to a New York Post report last month, Rodgers is making at least seven figures a year for his weekly segment on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show. Rodgers has made a weekly Monday appearance on McAfee’s show ever since he moved to ESPN in September. “Aaron has made over $1,000,000 with us, for sure,” McAfee told the Post via direct message. It’s unknown if Alabama coach Nick Saban, who also does a weekly segment, is also paid to appear.
Many of Rodgers’ major offseason revelations were made on McAfee’s show, both before and after it moved to ESPN. Trade rumors, the darkness retreat, his aggressive rehab plan. All of those happened on McAfee’s show. Of course, there’s no rule against Rodgers getting paid for media appearances. However, it takes some of the veneer off McAfee’s brand. The former punter had built a reputation as a foul-mouthed frat bro who naturally attracted like-minded individuals to him. While he might still do that for his audiences, it appears his guests need a fat check to hang out with him.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. is in stable condition at the hospital after being struck by a car in Center City, Philadelphia on Saturday night. He was walking near his residence at the time of the incident. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, representatives from the team, including 76ers President Daryl Morey, are with the 27-year-old as of publishing.
While they expect him to miss significant time due to his injuries, they don’t believe his season is over. Further details on the extent of those injuries are unclear. In a statement on Twitter, the team confirmed: “We will share more information as it becomes available. Please join us in sending our best to Kelly And his family as he recovers from the incident.” In an email provided to the Associated Press, local police confirmed that there is an active investigation into the incident.

In response to the team’s Twitter statement, fans shared plenty of supportive messages. “Prayers up for Oubre Jr. He was having a fantastic start for you guys,” one user replied. Another wrote: “Prayers up for Kelly and his family. Absolutely horrifying situation.”
Oubre joined the Sixers on a one-year, minimum-salary contract, last offseason. He’s currently averaging 16.3 points per game on 50.0% shooting in eight games. Amid his stellar play, he replaced P.J. Tucker in the starting lineup after he, along with James Harden, was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Washington Wizards originally selected Oubre in the first round of the NBA draft back in 2015. He’s also played for the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Charlotte Hornets. The 76ers will take on the Indiana Pacers at home on Sunday. Be on the lookout for further updates on Oubre on HotNewHipHop.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were spotted holding hands as they exited a restaurant at a Four Seasons Hotel in Buenos Aires. The brief video of the pair has gone viral on social media after being posted by ESPN reporter Tory Barron. Yesterday, after a week of speculation, Kelce was spotted landing in Argentina. The Chiefs tight end undertook the 13-hour flight from Kansas City to Buenos Aires. According to most travel sites, the journey involves flying from Kansas City to Houston and then taking a separate flight from Houston to Argentina. However, Kelce must have left the Patrick Mahomes-hosted gala he attended Thursday night almost immediately to make it to Argentina Friday afternoon.
Earlier in the week, Kelce had refused to confirm whether he would be joining Swift in South America. “I might just say f-ck it and just go somewhere nice, I don’t know. My skin’s getting real pale so I gotta go somewhere sunny,” Travis said on New Heights when asked by his brother if he had plans for the Chiefs’ bye week. When Travis added that he wanted to be “closer to the equator”, Jason shot back with a “South of the equator?”
Meanwhile, Jason Kelce was welcomed as “Taylor’s Boyfriend’s Brother” when he visited The Weiners Circle in Chicago. The hot dog eatery incorporates “playful verbal abuse” as part of its service. The sign “welcoming” Kelce was later posted to Instagram by the restaurant with the caption “Mean (Weiner Circle’s Version)” in yet another reference to Swift.
Furthermore, the Eagles center gave as good as he got. After the staffer made some playful comments about his brother, Jason gave a little trash talk of his own. “We need to get you on the field. Your mom looks like Michael Strahan,” Kelce shot back at the waitress who had been razzing him. The brothers will actually meet on the field on November 20 for Monday Night Football. The Week 11 finale will serve as a rematch of the Super Bowl from earlier this year.
Michael Thomas has been arrested for misdemeanor charges of simple battery and criminal mischief following an altercation with a construction worker who had been working on a house neighboring the Saints star wide receiver. Kenner police Lt. Mark McCormick revealed that the incident occurred around 7:00 PM on Friday, November 10.
“The victim stated that Thomas began yelling at him about parking in front of his house and verbally threatened to harm him,” McCormick announced in a press release, as noted by Around the NFL. “The victim began recording the incident, which upset Thomas, who then picked up a brick and threw it at the windshield of the truck, causing little if any damage. Thomas then walked up to the victim, knocked the phone from his hands, shoved him and told him he did not want to be recorded.”

Police released Thomas around 10:00 PM on the same night as his arrest. It’s unclear if the league plans to discipline him. In response to his arrest, the Saints released the following statement: “We are aware of the incident and are gathering information.” The organization acquired Thomas in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He’s recorded 564 receptions for 6,560 yards and 36 touchdowns with the team. After an incredible start to his career, he played in just 10 appearances over the three years prior to 2023 due to injuries.
The New Orleans Saints will take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at 1:00 PM, ET. Regardless of the arrest, Thomas will likely play in the game. The Saints are currently 5-4. The record positions them in first place in the NFC South and in competition for a playoff spot. Be on the lookout for further updates on Thomas‘ arrest as well as the Saints on HotNewHipHop.
A field goal as time expired doomed Colorado to a 34-31 loss to Arizona and their fourth loss in a row. For most of the game, the Buffs had gone toe-to-toe with the ranked Wildcats. However, both defenses had stepped up after Arizona tied the game at 31 early in the fourth quarter. After four punts (two per team), Colorado missed an opportunity to take the lead through a 44-yard field goal. That gave Arizona just under five minutes to methodically drive their way down the field and seal the game with a 24-yard kick of their own.
The result knocks the Buffs down to 4-6 on the season and 1-6 in conference play. Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns. However, he also took three more sacks, taking his season total to 48. Furthermore, Arizona’s win comes amidst a period of uncertainty for the university. A $240 million deficit in the school’s budget has lead the administration to announce that everything from layoffs to terminating some varsity athletics programs will be considered as a remedy.
Furthermore, the loss almost entirely eliminates Colorado’s chances of playing in a bowl game next month. Bowl eligibility requires a 6-6 record, except in highly unusual circumstances. To achieve that this season, the Buffs would need back-to-back road wins against Washington State and ranked Utah over the next fortnight. While a win against Washington State is feasible, Colorado would likely need a miracle to overcome the Utes.
While Sanders has stated that the team cares about wins, not bowl games, even he would admit that the season has turned into a disaster. Just a few months ago, Colorado was the talk of the college football world, having gone 3-0 in its non-conference schedule. However, they are now once against one of the worst teams in the Pac-12. Furthermore, questions have been raised once more about Sanders’ recruiting style. Despite overhauling essentially the entire roster, Sanders objectively failed to bring in solid units for the O- and D-lines.
The 2023 League of Legends World Championships, better known as Worlds 2023, represents a major change for the long-running tournament. Ahead of the 2023 pro season, Riot Games announced that major format changes would be coming to the season-ending tournament. Since 2017, the tournament has operated a play-in stage, a group stage, and a knockout stage.
Starting in 2023, the scope of the play-in stage will be reduced and modified. Firstly, the play-in will no longer feature teams from South Korea or China. Furthermore, a maximum of one team from Europe or North America will be present. The last of the eight teams to qualify for the play-in stage will be determined by a preliminary qualification tournament.
Furthermore, the Worlds Qualifying Series will pit the fourth seed from Europe against the fourth seed from North America. Subsequently, The winner of this best-of-five series will compete in the Worlds play-in stage. Additionally, this was won by Team BDS, who beat Golden Guardians.
Additionally, the Worlds group stage has been replaced by a Swiss Stage format. Furthermore, teams will play a maximum of five matches, with their opponents determined by their previous results. Subsequently, the top eight teams in the Swiss Stage will progress to an unchanged single-elimination bracket.
When Is Worlds 2023?
Worlds 2023 will be held between October 10 and November 19, 2023.
Where Is Worlds 2023 Being Held?
Worlds 2023 is being hosted by South Korea. Games will be played in Seoul and Busan. Furthermore, the Grand Final will be hosted at Gocheok Sky Dome, a domed baseball stadium in Seoul. Additionally, it is the first time since 2018 that South Korea has hosted Worlds.
What Is The 2023 Worlds Song?
The Worlds 2023 song is “GODS” and is performed by K-Pop group, New Jeans. The video follows the journey of 2022 champion Deft from high school to the Worlds trophy.
How Much Do You Get For Winning Worlds?
The prize pool for Worlds varies each year. There is a base prize pool provided by Riot Games. Furthermore, the prize pool is supplemented by the sale of in-game events and tickets for the event. However, the prize pool for the Worlds 2022 is $2.25 million. In 2022, the tournament champions received 22%, or $489,500, of the prize pool. Additionally, Riot has announced that Worlds 2023 will also have a prize pool of $2.25 million.
Who Won Worlds 2022?
Worlds 2022 was won by LCK team DRX. Furthermore, they defeated fellow Korean team T1 in a thrilling Grand Final in San Francisco. However, DRX failed to qualify for Worlds 2023, finishing fifth in the LCK. This means that Worlds 2023 will be the first tournament since Worlds 2020 to not feature the reigning Worlds champion.
Who Has Qualified For Worlds 2023?
22 teams will qualify for Worlds 2023 based on their performance in their regional Summer split. Furthermore, the 22 places at Worlds 2023 are divided as follows:
However, three regions will no longer be represented at Worlds from 2023. Firstly, the TCL, which represents Turkey, vacated its Worlds spot to become part of the European Region League system. Similarly, the LCO, which represents Oceania, vacated its Worlds spot and will seek qualification through the PCS. Finally, the LCL, which represents Russia, has been suspended since the Russian Invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
With the elimination of Team Bliss and Chiefs Esports Club from the PCS playoffs, Worlds 2023 will be the first since 2016 not to feature any teams from Oceania.

Worlds Stats
Additionally, here are the stats for KDA leaders and champion presence. Furthermore, these stats change daily and are updated as such. Meanwhile, Gen.G’s entire lineup currently dominated the KDA standings for most of the Swiss stage. Orianna maintained a 100% pick/ban rate for much of the Swiss Stage. However, she fell to 95% after the October 27 matches.
Joe Smith has spoken on Cam’Ron hitting on his wife Kisha Chavis, stating that the clip upset him a great deal. “It bothers me a lot. I did not just see that but the messages I got from people who actually went to her OnlyFans page. They sent it on Instagram [and] Facebook, talking about how my wife looks and what kind of pictures my wife got,” Smith told DJ Vlad as part of their ongoing interview about the subject. Cam’ron, while interviewing Chavis, had made comments about her cleavage and asked her to give him a massage.
Earlier in the interview, Smith gave his first published thoughts about just what went down after he learned that his wife was running an OnlyFans. Specifically, he denied that the now-viral fight was actually a publicity stunt for the site. Nah, that’s not what happened and that’s not what’s going on right now. It’s a real issue. The video hurt, but then also, the fact that the way I had to find out about the OnlyFans page, that’s another thing on top of that that hurts as well,” Smith told VladTV earlier this week. Furthermore, Smith claimed that he had discovered the account when he caught his wife checking her account on her phone. That contradicts his wife’s account of events, in which she claimed that a “house guest” told Smith about her side hustle.
Just about every talk show and podcast has weighed in on the drama between Smith and his wife. In the case of Chad Johnson, he was fully on Chavis’ side. He discussed the issue with Shannon Sharpe on their podcast, The Nightcap. While Sharpe, as he often is with the topic of sexuality, was hesitant, Johnson voiced his full-throated support for the idea of his partner doing OnlyFans to help the family’s finances. He acknowledged that OnlyFans can be a way to find financial stability in a world where a lot of people increasingly find a lack of it.
It’s unsurprising that Johnson would support the notion. Johnson recently released that in 1997, while attending Santa Monica College, he worked as a stripper to help pay his bills. “I used to strip at The Right Track, I used to be a dancer. I could tell you cause we family. 1997, I was in LA. My mom was out there but I really couldn’t live with my mama, so I had a place in Santa Monica. Sometimes I was short on my light bill. Them candles, light em. I used to strip. I used to be a dancer. If anybody in the chat is from LA that’s a little bit older, I used to strip at The Right Track. I bullsh-t you not,” Johnson told a livestream back in September.
Fans of The Kardashians once again took aim at Tristan Thompson. This week, it was over the bizarre way that Thompson was seen strutting around the Kardashian mansion during the most recent of the show. “Stank a– walk,” one X user referred to it as. “He walking like something up in it,” another person noted. However, overall, fans weren’t quite sure why the one-time ESPN analyst was walking the way he was.
After joining the Lakers for their playoff return last season, Thompson is back to playing regular-season basketball this year. The former fourth-overall pick was signed to fill out the Cavs bench this season and is playing some decent minutes. At the time of writing, Thompson has 11.2 minutes per game, with six games played. With that on-court time, he is averaging 3 points and 3.3 rebounds. The Cavs are 3-5 to open the season and are struggling to find consistency
However, Thompson’s primary role on The Kardashians at the moment is to serve as something of a foil to Kourtney. There is certainly a spectrum of acceptance towards Thompson amongst the family. Furthermore, Kourtney definitely slots in at its lowest end. “Tristan and I really have not connected and I just can’t fake it,” Kourtney told Kylie Jenner ahead of a sitdown with Thompson in this week’s episode. For her part, Kylie also expressed anxiety over Thompson’s impending visit, giving Kourtney at least one ally in the family.
During their chat, Kourtney asked Thompson if he “feels anything” after he cheats. Thompson, who has previously said that he is “now in a place to own his mistakes”, claimed he felt “disgusted”. However, Kourtney jumped on the answer, demanding to know why, if that was the case, he would cheat so frequently. Thompson, at this stage of his career, is better known for his infidelity and allegations of neglect than anything he does on the court.
Former NFL star Earl Thomas was reportedly the victim of a $1.9M identity theft scam earlier this year. Kevin Thompson, who was dating Thomas’ ex-wife Nina, was arrested in June in connection with the crime. According to law enforcement, Thompson had been fraudulently cashing Thomas’ NFL pension checks, directly stealing from the retired player’s bank account, and also transferred possession of several cars. Furthermore, Thompson reportedly used a false identity containing Thomas’ information to open a bank account. Furthermore, Thompson is reported to have cashed over $700,000 of Thomas’ NFL earnings. Thompson is currently out on bail.
Thomas retired from the NFL in 2019 after a single year with the Ravens. However, he is best known for the near-decade he spent with the Seahawks as a member of their iconic “Legion of Boom” defense. However, Thomas has had to face a much more negative spotlight since leaving the league. His ex-wife was arrested in 2020 after pointing a gun at Thomas’ head. She had allegedly broken into AirBnB and found him engaged in an affair with another woman. In 2022, he was arrested for violating a number of protective orders against his wife and children.
As mentioned, it’s been a rough period for Thomas since he left the league. Last year, Thomas’ house burned down. The house in Orange, Texas was struck by lightning and quickly caught ablaze. Fire investigators confirmed that Thomas was at home at the time of the fire but escaped unharmed.
It was just another major blow to Thomas, who early in 2022 had said he wanted to return to football. The interview with ESPN came about a month before Thompson began his identity fraud scheme against Thomas. “I’m ready. I’m in shape. My timing is on point – I’m proud of that,” Thomas told Adam Schefter via text. However, the comeback never materialized and Thomas remains out of the league. The fraud investigation is an ongoing story. We’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.
