SUPER BOWL

Super Bowl Odds Revealed For Next Season

by

Just a couple of nights ago, the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles. Overall, it was a truly fantastic game that fans were blown away by. In fact, one could earnestly call this one of the greatest championship games in NFL history. This is thanks to plenty of scoring and some phenomenal quarterback play from both Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. Moving forward, these two men will continue to run the league, and consequently, fans cannot wait to watch them play.

Heading into the big game, the Eagles were the oddsmakers’ favorite to take home a win. However, the oddsmakers turned out to be wrong on this one. Regardless, their picks throughout the playoffs were actually quite good. The favorite to come out of the AFC was the Chiefs, while the Eagles were certainly favorites to make it out of the NFC. Despite the Super Bowl being over, there are already new odds for next year’s title, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

As you can imagine, the Chiefs are subsequently the title favorite at +600. However, in second, we don’t have the Eagles. Instead, we have the Bills at +700. From there, the 49ers are +800 and the Eagles are +900. Interestingly enough, the Dallas Cowboys have crept up the rankings at +1400, while the Ravens are set at +2200. Furthermore, it should be interesting to note that the Cincinnati Bengals are currently at +900 and are definitely contenders to get back to the Super Bowl.

No matter what you think you know about sports, predicting the Super Bowl is pretty well impossible at this point. There are so many factors that take place throughout a season, and there is no guarantee any of these squads go very far. Regardless, let us know which of these teams you think will make the Super Bowl, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Patrick Mahomes Reveals How He Was Banned From Rihanna’s Halftime Show

by

Patrick Mahomes was fantastic in the Super Bowl just two days ago. Overall, the Kansas City Chiefs ended up winning the game after coming back from a 10-point halftime deficit. It was not an easy win, although it was definitely deserved. Mahomes threw for three touchdowns throughout the game. While he may have only thrown for 182 yards, he was incredibly efficient, and fans were singing his praises. At this point, it is hard not to consider him one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL.

Following the game, Mahomes got to go to Disneyland with his entire family. At the end of the day, it was a huge celebration for everything he has accomplished this year. No one expected the Chiefs to win it all this year, however, they defied the odds and made it happen. Now, Mahomes will get to enjoy the offseason as the Chiefs attempt to improve their roster for a run next year. If you are a fan of the franchise, you can’t help but be immensely excited about the future.

Patrick Mahomes Speaks

While speaking with Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night, Mahomes made some interesting revelations about the Super Bowl. For instance, he and his teammates were not allowed to watch the halftime performance by Rihanna. As Mahomes explained, the ban came from his own head coach, Andy Reid. “Coach Reid told us, he said, ‘If you go out to watch the performance, just keep walking because you’re not playing the rest of the game,’” Mahomes explained. Needless to say, Reid wanted to keep everyone focused as the team had a comeback effort to construct. In the end, his tactics worked as the team went out and won it all.

As for the halftime show, we’re sure Mahomes and everyone else on the Chiefs will go and watch it on YouTube at some point. After all, you can pretty well find everything over there. Moreover, winning the Super Bowl is a nice consolation prize for not seeing the performance live. Let us know what you thought of Rihanna’s halftime show, down in the comments section below.

Rihanna dazzled in the Super Bowl 57 halftime show. The show was aided by famed TV producer Jesse Collins, who revealed the two felt pressure to follow up the Hip-Hop show of the year before featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and more.

“She’s a lot of fun, very cool, never stressed. Just like, ‘All right, I’m going to go do this real quick.’ The pressure never got to her. She just was in it from day one, and really warm and let everybody have fun with it,” Collins said to The Hollywood Reporter.

He added, “I think there’s always pressure with this show. You work so hard, six months for 13 minutes. [This was] an opportunity to work with a global superstar and her re-entry into music.”

Ultimately, Collins felt Rihann’s “vision was executed.”

By now, you know that Rihanna is pregnant. Making her performance at the Super Bowl halftime show even more epic.

Rihanna opened the show in a red jumpsuit, diving into a performance of “Bitch Better Have My Money” on a levitating stage, with her baby bump poking through. After the intro, Rihanna dived through a range of hits, including “Only Girl (in the World),” “We Found Love,” “S&M,” “Rude Boy,” and “Work.”

Being the businesswoman she is, Rihanna paused to adjust her FENTY makeup. Then would close with “Diamonds” and “Umbrella” as the fireworks exploded across the Arizona sky.

Apparently, the ‘Drake curse’ only works on people not named Drake. If there’s one thing the “Rich Flex” rapper loves more than his music, sports would be a close second. Whether he is filming a hilarious to congratulate his longtime friend LeBron James for breaking the NBA’s all-time scoring record or being clowned on for his skills by his hometown’s star player — nowadays, sports and Drake go hand in hand.

From time to time, his love for sports significantly pays off. After placing nearly $1 million in bets on Super Bowl LVII, he has earned big. Before the game, the performer to Instagram to share screen grabs of his bets with the caption, “My psychotic bets for Sunday are in @stake. Pls, do not analyze the logic behind these bets. There is none.”

Thanks to the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory, the Toronto native is cashing in over $1 million in earnings. Placing a $700,000 bet on the Chiefs to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles resulted in an estimated payout of $1.4 million. However, his bet that Chief’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to score the first touchdown didn’t happen. The other losing Super Bowl LVII bets from Drake included the Chiefs would win each half, predicting the Chiefs would win each quarter, and for Travis Kelce and a tight end to win the Super Bowl MVP.

Drake could’ve taken home over $4.5 million, but his estimated winning total is just under $1.5 million for selecting the correct victors.

Candace Owens Praises Rihanna At Super Bowl, Condemns Critical Conservatives

by

No, you didn’t enter the Twilight Zone—Candace Owens is speaking on the Super Bowl and isn’t complaining about the halftime show. Each year, the far-right conservative pundit takes to social media with millions of others to weigh in on the halftime performance. She has either expressed offense or disapproval from previous shows, mostly from women performers, but this time, Owens had a change of heart.

Everyone is chatting about Rihanna’s huge pregnancy reveal, but Owens focuses on the overall fashion choices. “I don’t want to jinx it but—- Rihanna is the first female Super Bowl performer in recent memory that has managed to keep her clothes on,” said the Daily Wire star. “Nudity doesn’t shock me anymore. Self-respect does.”

Many of her conservative followers were surprised by her take. It didn’t take long for them to become critics as they called out all conspiracies that had haunted Rihanna’s career. Still, the headstrong Owens was unmoved and continued to praise Rihanna. Apparently, Kanye West isn’t the only music-centered Hip Hop celebrity she’s grown fond of.

“I’ve always liked Rihanna. Something about her,” Owens added in a later tweet. “How conservatives lose culture: nothing wrong with Rihanna’s performance but finding things wrong anyway.” Still, that didn’t keep critics from mentioning a particular gesture they believed was inappropriate.

Despite the pushback, Rihanna was pleased with her performance. After the show, she was seen being escorted to a backstage area, where she was helped onto a cart. She spoke with awaiting reporters and beamed as she made her way to her private accommodations. A$AP Rocky was a proud partner and father as he watched RiRi from the crowd. Jay-Z was also high in the luxury seats jamming to the halftime show, and daughter Blue Ivy was busy posing with a few of the world’s biggest music stars. Check out reactions to Candace Owens’s tweets below.

ESPN’s Chris Berman Makes Outrageous Remark Abot Black Quarterbacks

by

Chris Berman is someone who has been broadcasting for a very long time. Overall, Berman is a huge part of ESPN’s coverage of the NFL. At this point, it is impossible to think of NFL coverage on the network without him there. Although, in recent years, Berman has come under fire. Whether it be alleged voice messages he has sent co-workers, are faux-pas on the air, not everyone is the biggest fan of Berman. Regardless, ESPN has kept him around, and for now, they have no plans to actually change that.

Yesterday, Berman was at none other than the Super Bowl. This game was being played by the two best teams in the league: the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Consequently, it was a truly phenomenal game that pitted two great teams against one another. As a whole, fans were loving the game and it made for a great time for everyone in attendance. However, there were definitely some moments during ESPN’s coverage that had fans at home doing a double-take.

Chris Berman Messes Up

In the video clip above, Chris Berman could be heard talking about how there are two black quarterbacks facing off in the Super Bowl for the first time. Of course, this is a truly historic moment and there was quite a bit of fanfare around this. Although, Berman took the moment to explain how it was fitting that February 12th was also Abe Lincoln’s birthday. While Lincoln did ultimately sign the emancipation proclamation, it doesn’t exactly have anything to do with Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes. Overall, it was truly awkward for Berman to make that connection, and some felt it was downright outrageous.

Despite these comments, it doesn’t seem like Berman is actually facing repercussions from ESPN. For now, it seems like more of an embarrassing statement rather than anything else. Although, if he keeps making weird comments in the future, they may very well have to do something about it. Let us know what you thought of Berman’s remark, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Fans Don’t Think We’re Ever Getting Another Rihanna Album

by

The jokes have continued to pour in since Rihanna surprised the world with a pregnancy reveal. The singer floated through the Super Bowl halftime show—quite literally—with her baby bump on display. It was a surprise considering she gave birth less than a year ago, but she and A$AP Rocky are more than thrilled to expand their family. As well wishes flood timelines, fans have also used the opportunity to once again troll Rihanna about her fabled next album, which will remain a mystery until she’s ready.

In 2019, Entertainment Tonight brought up a then-potential Super Bowl performance to the Fenty star. “Actually, this is my first time hearing about the Super Bowl since last Super Bowl,” she told the publication at the time. “Girl, I still got an album to finish. You’re gonna ask about Super Bowl, really? My fans are gonna have my neck.”

The big game has come and gone, and people are weighing in about the show. Meanwhile, RiRi’s Navy believes that her next album is turning into folklore after they speculated on her next moves. Before her Super Bowl appearance, Rihanna teased about what was in store for her future. There were rumors about a possible world tour and album reveal, but it looks like she’s focused on being a billionaire mom.

However, not all is lost; we know that the singer has indeed been working on a record because she’s said so. Additionally, Pharrell Williams even offered an update, albeit it has been some time, about working on Rihanna’s next record. He was thrilled to hear how she’s expanding and can’t wait until the world experiences it as well.

“You’re not going to expect what you hear,” she teased in September 2021. “Put that in your mind. Whatever you know of Rihanna is not going to be what you hear. I’m really experimenting, and music is like fashion. You should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want. I treat music the same way. I’m having fun and it’s going to be completely different.”

Rihanna’s Back-Up Dancers Didn’t Know She Was Pregnant: Report

by

As fans tuned in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off for the Lombardi Trophy, there was undoubtedly a slew of people who only wanted to catch Rihanna’s performance. She dove into a 13-minute set that managed to condense a 17-year career. Draped in a red jumper, and surrounded by a fleet of backup dancers, Rihanna gave fans a performance to remember. Not only due to her impeccable catalog but also, the fact that she revealed her pregnancy on the biggest stage in America.

Over the years, Rihanna faced several rumors surrounding her pregnancy. Last year, she welcomed her first child and provided an epic reveal alongside A$AP Rocky in a Harlem-themed maternity shoot. However, there were even rumors of her pregnancy prior to that. Somehow, she managed to keep the speculation surrounding baby #2 under wraps, even after numerous public appearances in the past several months. In fact, she did such a good job at keeping it a secret, even those working closely with her for the halftime show had no clue that she was expecting.

Rihanna Hid Her Pregnancy From Back-Up Dancers 

According to TMZ, Rihanna hid her pregnancy from roughly 280 backup dancers during rehearsals. Though the pregnancy reveal played a huge part in the show itself, Rih disguised the baby bump by rocking baggy clothes. Sources close to the publication explained that at Saturday and Sunday’s rehearsals, Rih wore loose clothing to prevent anyone from finding out she was pregnant. That is until she hit the stage for her performance at the halftime show and revealed her belly. 

Those involved with the production reportedly only saw the baby bump when they were about to hit the stage. Rih rocked an outfit that seemingly helped reveal her pregnancy clearly. It’s impressive, especially when she’s made numerous public appearances in recent months. Last week, she appeared at a rare press conference where she discussed the performance at length. Prior to that, she appeared at the Golden Globes with A$AP Rocky. Looking back, both of her fits helped disguise her belly. At the Golden Globes, she donned a loose dress while carrying a purse in front of her belly. Ultimately, Rihanna accomplished revealing her pregnancy without anyone leaking the information to the press.

Cardi B Ran (As Well As She Could In Heels) To Make It To Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show In A Hilarious Video

The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event of the year in the United States. Pair that with the fact that Rihanna performed the halftime show this year, and it must have been a real challenge to actually get to the stadium for those lucky/rich enough to have tickets. It seems like that was the case for Cardi B and Offset, as the two ended up running in an effort to not miss Rihanna’s performance.

In a video shared on Cardi’s Instagram Story last night (February 12), Cardi and Offset are seen running to get into the stadium. It wasn’t a particularly fast run, though, as Cardi was wearing high heels that made speedy travel a challenge.

It appears their effort paid off, though, as it was apparently a really close call for them: In another Instagram Story video, Cardi films the start of the performance and exclaims, “We just made it on time.” She also offered some general excitement and cheering in other clips.

That wasn’t Cardi and Offset’s only Super Bowl presence this year. The pair just launched their own meal at McDonald’s and had a commercial for it during the game. The menu item is named after them and includes a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
