50 Cent Praises Sacramento Kings Coach Mike Brown’s “Tough Love”

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent recently took to social media to show love to Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown. He posted a clip of the team practicing on Instagram, praising Brown’s approach to coaching them. In the clip, he’s seen reprimanding a few of the players for making a mistake, and he went all the way in. While it may be controversial, it seems as though 50 Cent is in full support of Brown giving the athletes a bit of “tough love.”

“We’re gonna keep doin’ that sh*t!” Brown shouts in the video. “I don’t give a f*ck! I don’t give a f*ck! […] You missed the f*ckin’ shot down there! What’chu doin’?” Clearly, the coach wasn’t about to cut the team any slack for missing the shot. According to Fif, this type of coaching is effective for creating stronger players, and will work out in their favor in the long run. “Tough Love this is what it takes to create focus sometimes,” he captioned the clip. “You will see how well they play together, fvck all that soft sh*t! Let’s Go ! #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”

Countless fans have chimed into Fif’s comments section, reflecting on their own past experience with coaches. Many note that coaches like Brown ultimately made them better at their respective sports. “You ain’t never played a sport if you ain’t been cussed out by the coach,” one commenters writes alongside a laughing emoji. Some, on the other hand, disagree with 50 Cent and believe that Brown took things a bit too far.

Dillon Danis Returns To Trolling Logan Paul And Nina Agdal, References Adam22 And Lena The Plug’s New Reality Show

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After something of a hiatus, Dillon Danis has returned to his beloved pastime of trolling Logan Paul and Nina Agdal. Danis reposted a tweet from Dexerto which spoke about the reality show that Adam22 and Lena the Plug are hoping to launch. “Heard Logan and Nina doing the next season,” Danis wrote as a quote tweet. While a little hard to follow, the implication is that the next season of the show will be men vying for the chance to sleep with Agdal.

The post is an amalgamation of every trolling thread Danis pulled against Paul ahead of their fight last month. However, it namely plays on the idea that Agdal is “easy” and that Paul is something of a cuck. Of course, Danis has to be careful what he says about the couple as Agdal is still pursuing legal action against him over his previous posts.

While most of Danis’ posting is now about MMA and his desire to fight in the UFC, he has found some moments to return to posting about Paul. “I would of rather this fight someone to make a show and trade not run the whole time,” Danis wrote on X in October. His remark was in response to an account asking how differently the fight would have gone if he had fought stand-in Mike Perry instead of Paul. Danis then doubled down on his claim after a combat sports commentator argued that Danis was the one running away during the fight. “Watch the fight I didn’t take one back step,” Danis said in a since-deleted follow-up.

Danis landed just 16 punches during his six-round fight against Paul and only threw 70 punches total. Meanwhile, Paul threw 330 and landed 108 of them. Furthermore, the fight ended with little dignity for Danis. In the dying seconds of the final round, Danis appeared to attempt a guillotine choke on Paul. However, the maneuver failed and Danis simply ended up on the mat. This led to the intervention of security and the declaration of a disqualification loss for Danis.

University Of Arizona To Consider Cutting Athletics Programs In Cost-Saving Measure

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The University of Arizona has announced that it will have to consider cutting athletics programs to help balance the books. According to sources with knowledge of a monthly faculty senate meeting, the university is facing a $240M financial shortage. Furthermore, the athletics department was highlighted as a significant drain on the university’s finances. This includes a $55M loan the university made to the athletics department to help weather the stressors of the pandemic. According to the latest financial disclosures from the university, the operating budget of the athletics department is $100M.

As a result, the suggestion has been made to cut a number of the school’s varsity athletics programs, of which there are currently 23. Next year, Arizona leaves for the Big 12 along with Colorado, Utah, and Arizona State. On average, Big 12 schools sponsor 17 varsity programs. That means it could be the end of the road for niche sports such as triathlon, ice hockey, lacrosse, and rugby. However, it remains to be seen what will be on the table.

Arizona Looking At Multiple Solutions

Arizona accidentally miscalculated their finances by a casual quarter billion, and will now make extreme cuts to make up the deficit. Athletics is solvent, but cutting sports is on the table, per president Robert Robbins.https://t.co/0tFa7eDXd8

— RedditCFB (@RedditCFB) November 9, 2023

“Everything is on the table in terms of dealing with athletics. This is an issue that is going to require a lot of tough decisions,” Arizona president Robert Robbins said. Furthermore, faculty members requested that athletic director Dave Heeke be present at future senate meetings, especially for the topic of the athletic department. Additionally, physics professor Johann Rafelski urged Robbins to consider selling the athletics department to an outside vendor. “People who are qualified to run an athletics department may turn it into a profit. We could perhaps get a good sales price,” Rafelski said.

More meetings are expected to be held in the coming weeks as the school considers their next step. However, Robbins noted that the school intended to release its plans for cost-saving measures by December 15 at the latest. This is a developing story and we will have updates as and when they emerge. This weekend, the football team takes on Colorado in one of the last matches of the Pac-12 regular season.

Shedeur Sanders’ Rolls-Royce Booted By Colorado Campus Police

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Rolls-Royce of Colorado Buffaloes starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders was booted by campus police this week. A now-deleted video of the car was posted to social media by a member of the Sports Information department, showing the boot on the expensive car. It’s unclear how much Sanders was fined for the parking violation by the campus police. But it’s quickly becoming a growing problem for the team.

As mentioned, Shedeur is just the latest member of the football team to feel the wrath of campus parking enforcement. Back in September, Shedeur’s father, head coach Deion Sanders, saw his Lamborghini clamped. Meanwhile, defensive back Cam’Ron Silmon Craig posted proof of a $3000 fine given for 52 parking violations. “It seems to be an ongoing problem on campus that needs to be fixed. We’ve had cars getting towed for parking near Folsom Field,” one player told journalist Josh Tolle.

Colorado Eyeing Tough End To The Season

If parking issues were bad enough, the Buffs must find a way to end the season on a high note. The Buffs dropped their third consecutive game last weekend, falling below .500 for the first time this season. It came as a late rally against Oregon State fell short and the Buffs were knocked off 26-19. It’s now been a full month since Colorado’s last win, a 27-24 victory over Arizona State. Furthermore, the bowl window is closing bit by bit. Colorado, who are 4-5, need two wins from their last three games to be bowl-eligible.

Unfortunately for the Buffs, they have a rough schedule to close out the Pac-12 season. Up next is #21 Arizona, who are coming off three consecutive victories against ranked opponents. Then there is Washington State, who are 4-5 after a white-hot start to the season. Finally, they end the season against #18 Utah, who are 7-2. While Sanders has said the team isn’t thinking about bowl season, it would be an incredibly disappointing end to a season that started off so well. The Wildcats are 10.5 favorites against the Buffs this weekend.

Cardinals Tease Return Of Kyler Murray

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Arizona Cardinals have teased the return of starting quarterback Kyler Murray on social media. The post shows Murray stood within a mockup of a music platform, with the track playing listed as “I’m Back” by “K.1.”. Murray has been sidelined by injury since December 2022. In his absence, the Cardinals have struggled behind the quarterback play of Joshua Dobbs, who was recently traded to the Vikings. Murray is expected to start against the Falcons this weekend.

Despite this, head coach Jonathan Gannon made no assertions that the only issue for 1-8 Cardinals was at QB. “We’ve got to play clean football in all three phases. We’ve got to do our job on defense and special teams. It doesn’t matter who is playing quarterback,” Gannon told reporters. Last week was an especially low point for the team. They lost 27-0 to the Browns and managed just 58 yards of offense behind rookie Clayton Tune.

Falcons Looking To Spoil Murray’s Return

However, the Falcons aren’t exactly flying high either. 4-5 on the season, Atlanta have lost five of their last seven and have dropped winnable games in back-to-back weeks. “We’re not going to sugarcoat it. You can be frustrated. You can be mad. You’re going to feel all the emotions by it. But we have to go do something about it. As bad as it feels — nobody’s celebrating being 4-5 — but the reality is when you have perspective, after we get these corrections and assess everything, we do still control our own destiny. We have half a season,” head coach Arthur Smith said.

Murray’s counterpart for Atlanta will be veteran Taylor Heinicke, who remains QB1 for the Falcons. However, Heinicke spoke about doing his best to support benched sophomore Desmond Ridder. “Me and Des have talked privately. I’ve told him everything he’s been doing since he was starting, running the meetings, keep doing. Everything. I think that’s going to help him in the long run. He has been great, the same Des. It speaks to his character,” Heinicke said.

Eli Manning Encourages Travis Kelce To Visit Taylor Swift In Argentina

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Eli Manning has encouraged Travis Kelce to visit Taylor Swift in Argentina. The singer is currently performing a trio of Eras Tour concerts in Buenos Aires. “I think for him to travel, there’s nothing wrong with traveling, going somewhere. Hey, if he wants to go and support his girlfriend and see her play a concert, I’ve got no problem with that. I think that’s the idea. [The bye week] is the time to rest the body, rest the mind a little bit, recharge yourself to get ready for that second half of the season,” Manning told PEOPLE.

Kelce did not attend the first Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires on November 9. Instead, Kelce was spotted in Kansas City, attending a gala for the foundation of his friend and quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. At the ceremony, Kelce was also honored after becoming the Chiefs’ all-time leader in receiving yards this past weekend. Swift is performing in the Argentinian capital for another two days. Next week, she heads to Brazil. Kelce is unlikely to join her there due to Chiefs games on November 20 and 26.

Kelce Refuses To Say If He’s Headed To Argentina

Furthermore, Kelce has refused to say if he plans to go to Argentina at all. “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 “South of the equator?”

Meanwhile, a conspiracy continues to persist amongst Swifties and NFL fans that Taylor Swift is having a very real impact on Travis Kelce’s season. The Chiefs have now played nine games this season, amassing a 7-2 record. Swift has attended four games this season, half of the games Kelce has played in so far. When Swift is in the stands, Kelce has 432 yards and 2 touchdowns (108 per game). However, when Swift is absent, Kelce has just 165 yards and two short-yardage touchdowns (41.25 per game). Furthermore, the Chiefs are 4-0 with Swift attending. However, they suffered a blowout loss to the Broncos when she skipped that road game.

Deion Sanders Says He “Loves” His Players Fighting During Practice

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders said on his radio show this week that he “loves” his players fighting during practices. “We’ve had a great week of practice. We had a couple of fights, which I like. It’s a great thing. I always want to know who won because I keep records. I don’t break them up. Some coaches break them up. I don’t. Some guys fight hoping for the break up. No, we’re going to let you go. So, we did have a couple fights this week, and I love it. They’ve been getting after it. It’s almost like a rededication. It’s almost like a refocus. I love where we are. We’ve had great practices this week, offense, defense, as well as special teams,” Sanders said.

However, it’s not the first time that Sanders has expressed this opinion. Back in August, Sanders expressed his disappointment that several players did not get involved in a fight that broke out during practice. In a video posted to YouTube by his family’s media company, Sanders could be seen telling at least two players “If one fights, we all fight”.

Colorado Need Two Wins To Go Bowling

Great practices aside, all is not well in Boulder. The Buffs dropped their third consecutive game last weekend, falling below .500 for the first time this season. It came as a late rally against Oregon State fell short and the Buffs were knocked off 26-19. It’s now been a full month since Colorado’s last win, a 27-24 victory over Arizona State. Furthermore, the bowl window is closing bit by bit. Colorado, who are 4-5, need two wins from their last three games to be bowl-eligible.

Colorado Rose Bowl Theft Reportedly Committed By Recruits Visiting UCLA

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to The Coach JB Show, two high school players on a recruiting visit at UCLA are reportedly responsible for the theft of items belonging to visiting Colorado Buffaloes players. Jason Brown, who appeared on Netflix’s Last Chance U as the head coach of Independence Community College in Kansas, claims that two students from Beaumont High School had been arrested by Pasadena Police. Furthermore, Brown claimed that the information came directly from the players’ coach.

Pasadena Police have confirmed that two underage suspects were detained over the theft. At least three Colorado players had jewelry stolen, while other items such as headphones and cash were also taken from the visitors’ locker room at the Rose Bowl. “The Pasadena Police Department would like to thank those who reported leads to our tip line. The information and support are invaluable and play a crucial role in helping us ensure safety and security in our community. Our detectives worked diligently to follow up on all leads, which resulted in the quick execution of search warrants. The investigation will be ongoing. More information will follow as available,” the department said in a recent statement.

Shaq’s Daughter To Announce College Commitment This Weekend

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Me’Arah O’Neal, the daughter of NBA legend Shaq, is set to announce her college commitment this weekend in Houston. The news came as part of a lengthy ESPN profile about O’Neal’s journey as a player and her fight to leave her father’s shadow. Earlier this year, O’Neal revealed her eight finalists to be Arizona State, Baylor, Cal, Georgia Tech, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, and Tennessee. She will reveal her final decision at The Dream Center, the community center attached to her stepfather’s church. Reportedly, she told her father over lunch which school she intended to declare for earlier this week.

While O’Neal has her decision from a field of eight, she was initially approached by essentially every top program in the country. O’Neal is #33 on ESPN‘s Top 100 recruits for 2024. Furthermore, she is just one of nine recruits in the top 50 who are yet to declare for a college. “The word ‘elite’ is a little overused. But if you’re talking elite, she’s elite. There’s no question,” said ESPN’s director of recruiting analysis Shane Laflin.

O’Neal Eyes Pro Basketball

Due to WNBA eligibility rules, O’Neal won’t be able to declare for the draft until 2028. However, she’s made it clear that it’s a step she wants to take. “I wanna make it to the WNBA. I wanna hold my own name, I wanna just be the best basketball player that I could be. Just reach my full potential and get a championship, make All-Star. Do all the big stuff and eventually make the Hall of Fame,” O’Neal said. Additionally, it’s a goal that her father believes is completely possible. “If she keeps it up, she will definitely be in the history books,” Shaq told ESPN.

It’s still unclear where O’Neal’s ceiling is. However, both her brothers and her coach think she’s one of the next big things for women’s basketball. “I’ve seen it [her game] develop tremendously. Because when we were kids, we’d always go at it. And like I said, I’d rough her up,” noted her brother Shaqir, who plays for Texas Southern. “We haven’t seen the best of her yet, like, not even close. I think we’re just scratching the surface. She’s just starting to blossom. … But we’ll see some amazing things,” added her private coach, ex-NBAer Moochie Norris.

Michael Oher Paid $138K For “The Blind Side” According To Tuohy Family

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Attorneys for the Tuohy family claim that Michael Oher made $138K in profits from The Blind Side between June 2007 and April 2023. According to documents, these payments ranged from $117 to $31,500. “By agreement between the family members including Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, their children SJ and Collins as well as Michael Oher. The book and movie proceeds were to be split five ways. These funds represent funds paid to Mr. Tuohy and the portion paid over to Mr. Oher,” the family’s attorneys argued this week.

The Tuohy’s conservatorship of Oher being ended earlier this year. However, legal battle over compensation claimed by Oher is ongoing. Oher, who played nearly a decade in the NFL, claims he saw no money from the profits of his life story. This was namely from the Oscar-winning film, The Blind Side. However, the Tuohys have argued that the conservatorship was never used for financial gain. Oher has until November 28 to raise objections to accounting documents filed this week.

The Tuohy family, accused by Michael Oher of cheating him out of proceeds from “The Blind Side,” paid him more than $138K in profits from the movie, according to a court filing.

Oher has until Nov. 28 to file any objections to the document.

It’s been a few months since there was any major news in the case. However, Michael Lewis, the man who first brought Oher’s story to the national spotlight, made some bold claims about why Oher had taken the Tuohys to court. “What we’re watching is a change of behaviour. This is what happens to football players who get hit in the head. They run into problems with violence and aggression,” Lewis told Samanth Subramanian of The Guardian. Lewis also made some wild claims about Oher’s ability. “He insisted that Oher wouldn’t have made it to the NFL without the Tuohys’ support, and that Oher did not, in fact, know much about playing football when the Tuohys first met him. On a football field, “he was not useful”, Lewis said,” Subrmanian’s article also noted.

However, Lewis’ claims of CTE and subpar talent are nothing more than a smokescreen. Lewis is a close friend of Sean Tuohy. The two grew up together and had a relationship before Lewis chronicled Oher’s journey in the blindside. The claims of CTE try to distract from the horrific allegations tying a white family to manipulating a Black teenager. Meanwhile, the talent allegations are meaningless. This is given the facts of Oher’s story as well as the fact that Lewis felt the story notable enough to dedicate most of a book to it.
