Can Patrick Mahomes Surpass Tom Brady With A Third Super Bowl Ring?

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes looks to win his third Super Bowl in four appearances. For a quarterback who has only played six full seasons in the NFL, the level of success that Mahomes has achieved is nearly unprecedented. However, while Mahomes prepares for the 49ers, there is a much bigger that people are beginning to ask. Does this make Mahomes the true rival to Tom Brady’s GOAT status?

Ring No. 3 For Mahomes Fends Off The Brady Faithful

Purely from a numbers standpoint, Mahomes needs to win on Sunday to keep pace with Brady. Brady was a three-time Super Bowl champion by the end of his sixth full season in the league. Brady had captured the Lombardi in his first full year as the Patriots starter. He then went on to capture back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004. Mahomes won it all in his second year as a starter before capturing the title again in 2023. However, the problem is that the Brady faithful are hungry and eager to see Mahomes fail. If he can’t top the Niners in Vegas, he will be branded a pagh-wraith by those who wish for an end to the tyranny of the Patriots’ legacy. No matter what Mahomes goes on to achieve after, the Patriots’ “True Way” would be upheld forever more.

Furthermore, the “bad ending” in which Mahomes doesn’t match Brady’s three rings in six years would also suck based purely on what Mahomes has already achieved. He is a two-time MVP, something Brady would not achieve until his 10th full season in the league. Furthermore, Mahomes has started his career hotter than Brady. The Chiefs star threw over 5000 yards in his first full season, a mark Brady wouldn’t surpass until his 11th. As a result, Mahomes has already thrown 31% of Brady’s career passing yards and 33% of his career passing touchdowns after just six seasons.

Mahomes & The Chiefs Need Forward Momentum To Truly Surpass Brady

However, there is something more important to Mahomes’ quest to dethrone Brady than simply matching the number of Super Bowls. After 2004, it would be a full decade until Brady lifted the Lombardi again. Of course, there was the 16-0 season and two Super Bowl losses to Eli Manning but Brady still went a decade without a ring. Mahomes doesn’t have to lead the Chiefs to the league’s first-ever three-peat. However, he does need to ensure that the team stays at the top of the league and grabs another Lombardi sooner rather than later.

But that in itself leads to some difficult questions about the future. In the Chiefs’ tight-end heavy system, what of Travis Kelce? How long can the 34-year-old play at a championship caliber? When do the Chiefs draft turn Mahomes into the mentor and pair with his new long-term battery mate at tight end? And beyond that, how do the Chiefs ensure they keep winning? A big reason for the Patriots’ drought was that other teams around the league stepped up to meet them head-on. Jim Harbaugh now coaches in the Chiefs division. If Mahomes wants to replace Brady as the synonym for success, the Chiefs need to find a way to create a network of long-term winning.

Does It Really Matter?

There is other one question to consider when discussing Mahomes v. Brady – how much does it actually matter? Mahomes does not play to surpass Tom Brady, he has said as much himself. “My career goals have always been the same and it’s to not have any regrets. No matter what I do, I’m going to give everything I have to the game. I’m going to work my tail off, working out, in the film room, whatever that is, and give everything I have to the game. Whatever that ends up with, how many Super Bowl rings that is, however many wins that is, whatever that is, I know that I gave everything I have and that’s what I can do,” Mahomes told reporters this week.

The GOAT debate has always been something for the fans and egotists. Players who call themselves the “greatest of all time” rarely are. Patrick Mahomes will, in all likelihood, have one of the greatest careers in NFL history But he clearly isn’t playing to be the GOAT. Players that do play this way often achieve their goal at a heavy price – first on the stat sheet but with a legacy of infamy. Instead, Mahomes is Percival, the knight able to touch the Holy Grail because he does not desire it for himself. And in a world where we complain that sports have become increasingly about the glory, should we celebrate an authentic love of the game when it presents itself?

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tom Brady was spotted grabbing dinner with Irina Shayk, the Russian model he dated in the summer of 2023, at an upmarket restaurant in New York. The pair enjoyed a two-hour dinner at Brasserie Fouquet’s in Lower Manhattan. However, per sources who revealed the dinner to TMZ, there were no signs of PDA and the two left the restaurant separately.

However, it’s not the first time that the pair have been spotted together since their breakup in October 2023. Shayk was seen entering the building that houses Tom Brady’s New York condo in early November. However, she had recently given an interview complaining about the spotlight thrust upon her love life. More bizarre still is Shayk’s decision to enter the building through the main public entrance in front of the assembled paparazzi. Furthermore, no outlet was able to ascertain exactly why she made the trip to Brady’s home.

Tom Brady Posts Heartfelt Reaction To Bill Belichick Firing

Elsewhere, Brady posted a lengthy and emotional tribute to his former NFL coach Bill Belichick after it was announced that he would no longer be coaching the New England Patriots. “I’m incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL. He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate. He worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport,” Brady’s Instagram post began.

Furthermore, he talked about the personal impact Belichick’s coaching had on his career. “And, although we were successful, some of the greatest lessons I learned were in the moments where we faced the most challenging adversities. He set the tone for the organization. To never falter in the face of adversity, and to do what we could do, and what was in our control, which was to go out and DO OUR JOB. I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next,” Brady continued.

A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady)

Bill Belichick was announced to be leaving his position as head coach of the New England Patriots after 24 seasons earlier today. The news, first reported by ESPN, finally answers one of the biggest coaching uncertainties of the NFL offseason. According to insiders with knowledge of the situation, the decision was mutual and amicable. Belichick had one year left on his contract and was allowed to leave the Patriots freely without seeking compensation. Additionally, the veteran coach is expected to draw some interest from some of the other seven teams with head coaching vacancies.

As for New England, their next head coach is likely to be an internal hire. Linebackers coach Jerod Mayo, previously identified by owner Robert Kraft as a potential head coach in the making, is expected to be the frontrunner for the now-vacant position. Furthermore, the team will have a lot of decisions to make, such as their quarterback going forward. The team holds the No. 3 pick in the 2024 draft. Furthermore, they are projected to take 2023 Heisman-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Tom Brady All Smiles On Vacation Despite Antonio Brown Comments

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tom Brady was all jokes on a snorkeling vacation with his children. “I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time. Let me have this ,” Brady joked in the caption of his Instagram post. Brady didn’t reveal where he was, but it’s clear that he is thankful for this opportunity. “Michigan” refers to Brady’s college years in Ann Arbor. Meanwhile, “Massachusetts” refers to the nearly two decades Brady spent redefining the NFL in Foxborough.

However, this jovial post comes at a time when Brady is facing some bait from a former teammate. “I just f-ck Tom bihhhhh,” Antonio Brown wrote the day after Thanksgiving. It was part of a bizarre string of tweets in which Brown quoted Kanye and also claimed to have Alzheimer’s. Brady was reportedly instrumental in bringing Brown to the Buccaneers in 2020. However, Brown’s tenure only lasted a season and a half before his explosive exit from the team.

Tom Brady’s Soccer Team Breaks Winless Streak

A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady)

Meanwhile, Brady has more things to celebrate. Brady’s soccer team, Birmingham FC, snapped a bad run of form this weekend. Birmingham beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 to win their first game since early October. Brady joined the team’s ownership in August and within a month, the team had replaced their manager. However, after bringing in England legend Wayne Rooney, lost four of their next five games and drew the other one. The run of poor form has dropped Birmingham from 6th to 14th in the standings.

Furthermore, Brady has spent much of the year reiterating that he has no plans to come out of retirement in any sport. The latest broaching of the topic came after YouTuber MrBeast suggested that the ratings of Brady’s Let’s Go podcast, on which Beast was guesting, would skyrocket if Brady returned to the league. “My parents would call, my kids would call. They’d kill me. I wouldn’t be around by tonight,” Brady said.

Antonio Brown Says He Had Sex With Tom Brady’s Girl, Invokes Kanye West, And Says He Has Alzheimer’s

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Antonio Brown is someone who always brings controversy wherever he goes. These days, he isn’t as controversial as he once was, but that is because he isn’t on the field anymore. Instead, you will mostly just see AB on social media where he says whatever comes to his head. Overall, he is someone who has no problem getting people agitated. Moreover, he has some enemies out there who don’t even have an issue with him. In fact, these beefs are one-sided.

For instance, Brown has had this bizarre feud with Tom Brady as of late. Over the past year or so, Brown has been trying to denigrate Brady in any way he can. Whether that be by claiming to have slept with Gisele Bundchen or by calling him a bad quarterback, Brown has been awfully agitated. Brady doesn’t seem to have any ill will for AB and it is weird how this all started. Either way, on social media today, Brown decided to tweet about Brady, Kanye West, and cognitive decline.

Antonio Brown Speaks

I’m not anti-Semitic I just fucked a Jewish bitch ………

— AB (@AB84) November 24, 2023

I just fuck Tom bihhhhh

— AB (@AB84) November 24, 2023

Idk who I fucked last night I got Alzheimer’s

— AB (@AB84) November 24, 2023

“I’m not anti-Semitic I just fucked a Jewish bitch,” AB said while quoting Kanye West’s song “Vultures.” He subsequently followed this up with a tweet where he said “I just fuck Tom bihhhhh.” Finally, he ended the rant by saying “Idk who I fucked last night I got Alzheimer’s.” Needless to say, Antonio Brown is on one right now. This has been true countless times at this point. However, it was especially true right here.

It remains to be seen what Brown will do next. Over the last few years, he has proven to be an extremely unpredictable person. While he has tried to get back into sports, it just hasn’t happened. Given his behavior, it is very unlikely that those opportunities will ever come back. Let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite athletes.

Irina Shayk Makes Bizarre Public Appearance At Tom Brady’s New York Condo

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Irina Shayk was seen entering the building that houses Tom Brady’s New York condo this week, despite recently giving an interview complaining about the spotlight thrust upon her love life. More bizarre still is Shayk’s decision to enter the building through the main public entrance in front of the assembled paparazzi. Furthermore, no outlet has been able to ascertain exactly why she made the trip to Brady’s home.

In the aforementioned Elle interview, Shayk refused to comment on her current dating life. Meanwhile, sources at TMZ confirmed that she is not back with Brady. However, she was seen last week trick-or-treating with her daughter and her daughter’s father, Bradley Cooper. Perhaps the whole thing is a show of defiance concerning the comments she made to Elle. Regardless, this remains a developing story.

What Happened With Brady And Shayk?

The breakup between Tom Brady and Irina Shayk occurred late last month. However, those who spoke with TMZ claim that the breakup was wholly amicable and that things simply “fizzled out”. It had been a while since the pair had been spotted together, with Brady in Miami the week before the breakup and Shayk in New York.

The pair was arguably the summer’s hottest couple, linking up at a wedding in May and sharing cozy visits in New York and London. However, there had never been any talk of the relationship being a long-term one. Sources reported that Shayk’s end goal was to get back together with the father of her child, Bradley Cooper. Meanwhile, Brady was reportedly focusing on his family and business interests more than cultivating a long-term relationship. Despite this, the pair did seem happy when they were together.

Tom Brady-Owned Soccer Club Hires Wayne Rooney As Manager

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Birmingham City FC, the English soccer club in which Tom Brady is a minority owner, has hired English soccer legend Wayne Rooney as their new manager. Rooney, who left DC United of the MLS over the weekend, replaces John Eustace, who was fired on Monday. “I have been building my managerial career, putting myself in challenging environments, to get me ready for this opportunity. It’s a project that gives me a sense of purpose. I can’t wait to get started,” Rooney said in a statement. Birmingham, who survived a relegation battle last season, is currently in sixth place in the EFL Championship.

Rooney retired from professional play in 2021 after 19 years of senior football, primarily in the Premier League. His first coaching role was with Derby County, the team he retired with. However, he left Derby to coach DC United in 2022. Now he returns to England for another shot at a club on the rise. However, the move has caused a stir amongst Birmingham fans. Rooney steps in to replace a manager who had started the season with five wins in his first 11 games. That includes back-to-back wins in their most recent matches. Eustace was fired after Birmingham beat local rivals West Brom 3-1. Rooney’s first game in charge will be a road game against Middlesborough on October 21.

Brady Speaks On Possibility Of Unretiring Again

Meanwhile, the aforementioned Brady recently opened up about the possibility that he will unretire for a second time and return to the NFL. Brady once more shut down the idea, saying his family would “kill him” if he did. The latest broaching of the topic came after YouTuber MrBeast suggested that the ratings of Brady’s Let’s Go podcast, on which Beast was guesting, would skyrocket if Brady returned to the league. “My parents would call, my kids would call. They’d kill me. I wouldn’t be around by tonight,” Brady said.

Furthermore, it’s not a statement without precedent. Brady’s decision to unretire and play in the 2022 NFL season was widely been cited as one of the factors that led to his high-profile divorce from Gisele Bündchen. However, Brady has been adamant that his retirement following the 2022 season is final. He won’t be coming back to the league to help the Pats, Jets, Raiders, or whoever else desperately needs a starting quarterback.

Tom Brady On Possibility Of Unretiring Again: “My Family Would Kill Me”

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tom Brady has once more shut down the idea that he might one day return to the NFL, saying his family would “kill him” if he did. The latest broaching of the topic came after YouTuber MrBeast suggested that the ratings of Brady’s Let’s Go podcast, on which Beast was guesting, would skyrocket if Brady returned to the league. “My parents would call, my kids would call. They’d kill me. I wouldn’t be around by tonight,” Brady said.

Tom Brady Hints At Private Life Drama

However, maybe staying from football is the best thing for Brady right now. In a recent episode of Let’s Go, Brady hinted at some trouble behind the scenes in his life. “We should all have self-awareness, it’s a hard trait to have. “We’re in a culture where it’s hard to own up to things these days. For someone like me, I’m in the public eye a lot. I always try to say the right thing. I don’t want to deal with any more drama in my life, I already have a lot of drama,” Brady said. It’s unclear what drama Brady is referring to in particular.

However, one likely source may be his love life. Brady split with long-time wife Gisele Bündchen last year. Bündchen has begun to open up about the divorce in more detail in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Brady has been linked to a fling with Russian model Irina Shayk. Despite this, reports suggest that Shayk is more interested in getting hitched to her long-time ex, Bradley Cooper.

Tom Brady’s Jersey From Final NFL Game To Hit Auction Block Next Month

October 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A game-worn Tom Brady jersey from the last game of his NFL career has been put up for auction by Sothesby’s. The lot will be sold at the auction the famed house is holding at the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix. The jersey comes from the Buccaneers’ 31-14 Wild Card loss to the Cowboys in January 2023. Furthermore, the piece is valued at $2.5 million, which would make it the most expensive game-worn NFL jersey ever to sell at auction. The current record is held by a Joe Montana jersey that the Niners legend wore during two Super Bowls. That sold for $1.2 million earlier this year.

“There are only a few athletes who are universally accepted as the greatest in their sport — Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Muhammed Ali, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth. For the National Football League, it’s Tom Brady. Worn at the very last game of his tenured career, this historic shirt is a tangible reminder of Brady’s unparalleled legacy, and as such, is arguably the most coveted NFL jersey to ever come to auction,” Brahm Watcher, Sotheby’s Head of Streetwear & Modern Collectables, told TMZ.

Tom Brady Makes Surprise Appearance At Trading Card Event

However, game-worn jerseys isn’t the only memorabilia that Brady is getting into lately. Last weekend, the NFL legend stopped by a trading card store in New Jersey for their Rip Night. Meanwhile, the trading card event was shocked to have such big-name guests. Furthermore, this caused the parking lot to become flooded with fans as the store only had a capacity of 100. Brady embraced the nature of the event, trading cards with fans and kids in attendance.

“This was incredible. Unreal. I did not expect the turnout. We were notified on short notice. We talked to the kids and got them involved. The smiles on these kids’ faces. The experience of trading their own cards with an athlete and celebrity is an experience they’ll probably never have again,” store owner Jon Riffle told TMZ. Furthermore, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin also attended the event.
