Former Aaron Rodgers Teammate Claims QB Will Play For The Saints

Aaron Rodgers had some well-publicized issues with the Green Bay Packers this summer as he was looking to get traded away from the franchise. Rodgers held out of various team workouts and events, although in the end, he came back to the Packers on a new contract that will allow him to leave after this season if he so chooses. After drafting Jordan Love in 2020, Rodgers has been left with a bad taste in his mouth and for a while, it seemed like the relationship was irreparable.

Now, Rodgers has at least one more year with the Packers, and all eyes will be on him as the season begins in September. Fans want to see if Rodgers has what it takes to still be an elite-level talent in the NFL, while others are curious as to where he will land beyond 2021.

Will Blackmon, a former teammate of Rodgers, took to TMZ recently where he gave his own hypothesis on what will happen to Rodgers. Blackmon firmly believes that Rodgers will be going to the New Orleans Saints in 2022 and that he will be done with the Packers, regardless of how successful they are this season. The Saints were certainly on Rodgers’ watchlist this offseason, especially with their up-in-the-air quarterback situation.

For now, however, Blackmon’s hypothesis is simply conjectured, and there is no telling what will happen this season. Rodgers is a hard guy to read and that trend will certainly continue in 2021.

Nas Brings It Back To Queensbridge On “Store Run”

It’s hard to believe that it took over 25 years for Nas to receive his well-deserved recognition from the Grammys. King’s Disease won the Best Rap Album of the year in 2020 at the award show but the album felt more significant than just a trophy. Riding high off of the accolade, the rapper returned on Friday with the sequel to the album, entirely produced by Hit-Boy. 

The project boasts 15 songs in total with an eclectic collection of collaborations alongside everyone from Eminem and EPMD to A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Blxst. However, the best moments often occur when Nas is left to his own devices. On “Store Run,” Hit-Boy chops up a warm, soulful vocal sample as Nas brings it back to his days in Queensbridge. “I’m from the era of razor blades and coke dust,” he raps on the track, reflecting on his humble beginnings to his rise in the tech world with hope of bringing more opportunities back to his old stomping grounds.

Quotable Lyrics

Pouring this white wine, you could Richard Millie your left wrist
Keep in perspective, we on God’s time (The world is yours)
What happens when dealers reduce to addicts?
What happens when kings don’t see their potential status?
What’s your exit plan? Face to face with my omens, I never ran
Stood on stages most never can, pyrotechnics and leather pants

Does Travis Scott Have A Nike Air Trainer 1 Collab On The Way?

Travis Scott has become one of the biggest influences in the sneaker world over the past few years, and it is all thanks to his work with Nike and Jordan Brand. After delivering some Air Force 1 Low collabs to the world in 2017, Travis went over to Jumpman and created the Air Jordan 4 “Cactus Jack” which was an instant classic. Since then, he has released a plethora of other Nike collabs on models such as the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 6, and even the Nike SB Dunk Low. 

Following the release of the Fragment x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High, fans have been waiting to see what Travis would bring out next, and it looks like we may have a bit of a hint thanks to the Instagram account @ovrnundr.io.

In the Instagram post below, you can see Travis sporting what appears to be a Nike Air Trainer 1 Mid with a backward swoosh on the sides. If you’ve been following Travis for some time, you would know that the backward swoosh has effectively become his signature look. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that Travis would be sporting new kicks with this unique aesthetic.

The existence of the shoe suggests that this could very well be one of Travis’ next collaborations, although there is no word yet on whether or not this is simply just a random sample.

Francis Ngannou Challenges Cyril Gane Following Win Over Derrick Lewis

Last night was huge for UFC heavyweight Cyril Gane as he came through and defeated Derrick Lewis to win the interim title. Gane has been rising through the ranks of the UFC as of late and his win against Lewis means he remains undefeated in his MMA career. From start to finish, Gane dominated Lewis and it came as a big surprise to UFC fans. Gane eventually ended Lewis in the third round, and it was a massive victory that had the crowd on its feet.

The winner of this match is supposed to get a shot at fighting Francis Ngannou for the Heavyweight title. Originally, fans thought a Lewis and Ngannou rematch was a given, although now, the plans have changed as Gane is clearly the better challenger.

Ngannou took notice of Gane’s skills last night and decided to take to Twitter where he challenged the French fighter in a playful way. “Impressive performance from Gane! He’s now a legit contender. See you soon boy. When you know you know,” Ngannou wrote.

With a depleted UFC 265 card, Gane and Lewis were able to carry the evening, and in the end, a new star was born. If Ngannou and Gane come through with a classic title fight, then we can officially say the heavyweight division is in good hands.

Jets’ Zach Wilson Struggles With 2 Interceptions & 0 Touchdowns In Public Scrimmage

Jets’ rookie quarterback Zach Wilson disappointed Jets fans, Saturday night, at the team’s annual Green & White practice in front of a crowd of nearly 20,000. In front of his biggest NFL audience yet, he threw two interceptions and led the offense to just 3-points.

His final stats were 11 of 24 passes for 112 yards and two interceptions. The scrimmage lasted two hours and involved no live tackling.

“The biggest learning jump for him was that it was under the lights, there was a bigger crowd,” coach Robert Saleh said. “It wasn’t necessarily a bigger moment, because you want them all to be the same, but I’m sure the young man wanted to do his absolute best. There are a lot of things he can take from this one, and it will be awesome to see him grow from it.”

Wilson admitted afterward that his performance was “not great.”

“Not great,” he said. “I have high expectations for myself and this offense. I have to lead the guys and I have to make better decisions. That’s why this isn’t Game 1; that’s why we’re doing this. I understand that. Of course, I’m going to be frustrated with myself, but I’m going back to the film room and find out what I can learn.”

Wilson was drafted with the 3rd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Vanessa Bryant Recreates Photo Of Late Daughter Gigi During Italy Trip

As a tribute to her late daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, Vanessa Bryant had her daughters Bianka and Capri recreate a throwback picture of Gigi and Natalia sitting on a bench in Capri, Italy.

“Missing my baby girl, Gigi. My #2. Mambacita,” Vanessa captioned the Instagram post.

Italy is where Vanessa’s late husband, Lakers legend Kobe Bryant grew up, as his father played basketball for a professional team in the European country.

Earlier this year, Vanessa spoke at Kobe’s Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony and said that his biggest accomplishment was being a great father.

“His most cherished accomplishment was being the very best girl dad,” she said in her speech. “I want to thank him for somehow finding ways to dedicate time to not only being an incredible athlete, a visionary, entrepreneur, and storyteller but for also being an amazing family man.”

“Thank you for growing and learning from your own mistakes,” she added. “Thank you for always trying to do better. Thank you for never giving up on us. Thank you for all of your hard work. Thank you for our family. Thank you for our daughters: Natalia, Gianna, Bianca and Capri. Thank you for working so tirelessly to provide for us and for giving us the most amazing life together.”
