One of the most beloved players from the last 20 years is “Iso” Joe Johnson. He was one of those players that always used to excite supporters, and for the last few years, fans have been able to watch him shine in Ice Cube’s Big3. The last time we saw Johnson in the league, he was playing for the Houston Rockets, all the way back in 2018. Now, the former star is 40 years old, and he has been jonesing for another NBA opportunity.

With numerous players going into COVID-19 protocols, various teams have had to sign players to 10-day contracts as a way to bolster their rosters. No team is safe at this point, including the Boston Celtics, who have officially made Johnson a part of their short-term plans.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the 40-year-old will now be a member of the Celtics roster for at least 10 days. From there, the team will get to decide whether or not he will stick around. Of course, Johnson was drafted by the Celtics 20 years ago, so this is a huge opportunity for him to play in front of the Boston fans again.

Only time will tell whether or not Johnson can relive some of that magic. Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates from the basketball world.

With the NFL playoffs drawing closer, fans are getting a little bit antsy in the stands. Of course, the stakes are higher than they’ve been all season, and a result, there is a lot of passion shining through. Unfortunately, that passion isn’t always channeled in the healthiest of ways. Throughout the season, we have seen a lot of fights in the crowd, and overall, it hasn’t been very fun for the security staff who have to deal with all of the carnage.

Over the weekend, the Packers defeated the Ravens in Baltimore, and the score was very close. With the tensions of the game mounting, fans got a little too into it, and it eventually led to a bloody brawl that had some fans in tears.

As you can see in the clip below, Packers and Ravens fans begin to shout at each other, and it leads to a massive brawl in which bodies are flying everywhere. Punches are thrown and one fan’s head become smeared in blood. It was a pretty shocking turn of events, and one woman was left in tears as she had been accidentally struck.

Some security guards came into to diffuse the situation, however, it was too chaotic to really get everything calmed down. It’s a scene we have seen a lot of this year, and the NFL still hasn’t been able to do anything about it.

It remains to be seen if any of these fans will be receiving lifetime bans.

Prison is meant to rehabilitate criminals and troubled individuals but we all know that it rarely fulfills that purpose. The criminal justice system is flawed in many ways, but some incarcerated individuals make the most of their time while locked up, and it looks like rapper Pooh Shiesty is among those people.

We’ve seen artists including Kevin Gates, Gucci Mane, and others come out of prison with different mindsets before cleaning up their acts on the streets. They made formative changes behind bars and it appears as though Pooh Shiesty is on that same wave. Days after sharing a rare message from prison, the “Back In Blood” rapper posted another update, telling his fans that he wants to permanently quit drinking lean after realizing how much better his skin looks when he’s sober.

“My skin glowing since I been sober can’t go back to sipping lean,” wrote Shiesty on Instagram. “My mindset got different, I’m in prison before I’m sentenced they don’t even kno the life det I’m Living Dey trynna paint the pic of a menace… FreeTheBiggest.”

Pooh Shiesty has been locked up for half of this year, getting arrested in the summer. He is reportedly facing life in prison. Free Shiesty.

Le’Veon Bell has had a lot of ups and downs over the past few seasons. Ever since leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bell hasn’t been able to relive the magic of his first few years in the NFL. He has bounced around to various different teams, and for a few weeks this year, Bell got to play for the injury-riddled Baltimore Ravens, before eventually being let go. 

Since that time, Bell has been waiting for a new opportunity. With teams losing multiple players to injuries and even COVID-19, it seemed inevitable that Bell would eventually get his chance to play for a contending team. Now, that inevitability has finally come to fruition.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Bell has signed a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who recently lost Leonard Fournette to injury. The Bucs are headed towards the postseason, and they need a running back who can also go out there and catch passes. With that being said, Bell is the perfect player to come in and fill up that role.

It remains to be seen how much the Bucs will use him, however, with Tom Brady at quarterback, we imagine he will get his fair share of targets.

Chicago rapper Juice WRLD passed away a couple of years ago but he remains one of the most impactful artists of his generation, always having at least a few songs on the Billboard charts. The late 21-year-old hitmaker showed that he could make a smash record with his eyes closed, effortlessly rhyming and evoking all kinds of emotions in his music. With the release of his second posthumous studio album Fighting Demons, it was clearer than ever that Juice had accepted his fate, realizing that his time was almost over on this planet. The troubled artist was a fan-favorite for millions around the world and with the release of his #2-debuting album, thirteen records from Fighting Demons have been named to the Billboard Hot 100.

This week’s Hot 100 update was unveiled on Monday and despite all of the holiday songs ruling the Top 10, much of the lower spots belong to Juice WRLD. With thirteen entries on the chart this week, his highest-ranked song is “Girl Of My Dreams” with SUGA from BTS at #29. Five spots lower, he comes through again with “Burn.” Then, at #54, he re-appears with “Already Dead,” which is back on the charts for a second stay. He immediately follows at #55 and #56 with “Wandered To LA” and “Feline” respectively.

Other entries onto this week’s chart include “Rockstar In His Prime,” “You Wouldn’t Understand,” “Doom,” “Go Hard,” “Not Enough,” “From My Window,” “Relocate,” and “Feel Alone.”

What do you think about Juice WRLD’s chart presence from Fighting Demons? Let us know what you thought of the album in the comments.

Jake Paul is now looking for his next opponent, and as you can imagine, he is trying to find someone from the UFC. There are plenty of names on his list, although during a recent episode of Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, Jake noted that he would love to go up against someone like Jorge Masvidal.

“Masvidal, I got an offer for you right now — $5 million guarantee plus percentage of Pay-Per-View,” Jake said. “Let’s make it happen.” Jake is confident that Masvidal has never made this kind of money before, and that the fighter would be stupid to not take it.

Masvidal isn’t convinced, however, as according to TMZ, the UFC star wants $20 million from Jake. While $5 million sounds like a lot, Masvidal believes it is simply not enough, and that the floor for a fight deal would have to be the previously mentioned amount. Masvidal has always been skeptical of Paul’s boxing career, so it should come as no surprise that he would turn down the $5 million. In fact, Masvidal has even accused Paul of not having the money he says he has. 

As for who would win the fight, all money should be put on Paul. While Masvidal has had flashes of brilliance in the UFC, he is certainly not the best fighter out there, and when it comes to boxing, he would fair much worse than Tyron Woodley. Regardless, the fans want what the fans want.

Over the past few years, OnlyFans has become deeply ingrained in popular culture, especially after a spike in popularity during the start of the pandemic and a huge name drop from Beyoncé on Megan Thee Stallion’s chart-topping and Grammy award-winning song “Savage.” While the company — which is predominantly known for its explicit content — has reached incredible new heights, it has faced its fair share of controversies as well.

Earlier this year, OnlyFans attempted to clean up its image by banning all pornographic content, and that shocking move led artists and celebrities such as Tyga and Madina Milana to develop OnlyFans competitors like Myystar and My Exclusive Fans. The backlash that OnlyFans subsequently received forced the company to reverse its porn ban, and several months later, another major change has hit the company.

According to VladTV, Tim Stokely has stepped down from the position of CEO at OnlyFans. The 36-year-old businessman founded the platform in 2016 with a reported $13,271.96, and soon, OnlyFans went on to surpass a valuation of $300 million. Stokely’s position will be filled by former OnlyFans Marketing Chief Amrapali Gan.

“I have taken the decision to step down from my position as CEO of Fenix International to focus on my next challenge,” Tim Stokely revealed in an Instagram post. “I’d like to thank all of my colleagues, but the most important thank you is to all of the content creators… you made OnlyFans what it is today.”
