Tyreek Hill Was Cuffed & Detained On The Way To The Stadium For Dolphins’ Season Opener

Tyreek Hill

If you thought the number of children Tyreek Hill has fathered was enough to blow your mind, how about getting arrested on the first NFL Sunday of the new season? Looks like that's what happened to The Cheetah, who may or may not have been speeding a bit on the way to Hard Rock Stadium for the Miami Dolphins' Week 1 duel with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Initial reports and videos from the scene show Tyreek handcuffed on the ground. https://twitter.com/NolanFried73315/status/1832789458988433468 https://twitter.com/ICEtrey___/status/1832791035660861855 It's believed that veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell is involved in this situation, too, although I've yet to see convincing photographic proof that that's the case. https://twitter.com/SadJagsFan69/status/1832787756377870354 This can't help but bring to mind Scottie Scheffler's arrest at the PGA Championship. Should local law enforcement be given a weekly crash course on professional athletes in the area? I think that'd be beneficial. then we wouldn't get power-tripping officers making high-profile celebrity takedowns. Anyway, thanks a lot Tyreek. I put my fantasy football hopes and dreams in you with the second overall pick. Had to go get cuffed before Week 1, and I don't mean the fantasy football type of handcuff. On the other hand! When Tyreek gets out of this dust-up with the law, as he should, there may not be an Over/Under high enough for the receiving yards a pissed-off Cheetah will explode for. Thankfully, for Dolphins fans and fantasy football owners, Cheetah is reportedly still suiting up today: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1832793679729160431

Who Your Favorite Country Artists Are Rooting For This NFL Season

Luke Combs country music

With football season here, I have to entertain myself with combining the fall sport with my love of country music. So I did some research and took to Instagram to ask some of my favorite country artists who they're rooting for this season (and every season). Gavin Adcock - "Falcons Sadly" His words I promise. Being from Georgia it makes sense, but that's unfortunate. Lainey Wilson - Steelers Lainey is dating Devil Hodges AKA Duck who is the former Steeler NFL quarterback. She says that they'll always be Steelers fans in their house. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_Nu0W6xHKi/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading Charles Wesley Godwin - Steelers While he may be known for his love of West Virginia College football, he also shows his love of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kenny Chesney - Steelers Kenny really is only associated with University of Tennessee Football for me. Justin Moore - Pittsburgh Steelers  Colby Acuff - Green Bay Packers Probably the biggest Packers fan in country music. https://www.instagram.com/p/C5tfbyUJwFJ/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading JD Clayton - Green Bay Packers What are the odds Arkansas gets a NFL team? Now given the Texas Country Music scene there is quite the list of Dallas, Cowboys fans. Koe Wetzel - Dallas Cowboys You'd really expect nothing less. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcV8gamuMR_/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading Post Malone - Dallas Cowboys Posty is seen repping the team every chance he gets. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dGFFxFrSo/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading Hudson Westbrook - Dallas Cowboys Randall King - "Cowboys & Chiefs" When the Cowboys have been on the losing streak that they have, I kind of understand needing a second team. Parker McCollum - Houston, Texans https://twitter.com/ParkerMcCollum/status/1805643006449463784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw And given the Nashville music scene, the Tennessee Titans list is a long one... Jelly Roll - "TITANS. Born and raised in Nashville always Titans" This is a surprise to no one as he just stopped by the Titans locker room to duet with T'Vondre Sweat. Zach Top - Tennessee Titans Mason Ramsey - Tennessee Titans Back when he was just known as the "yodel boy", he also had the honor of the National Anthem at a game. Morgan Wallen - Tennessee Titans Luke Combs - Carolina Panthers And he is a passionate fan at that. Earlier this year he was tearing into the team for trading Brian Burns for a 2nd rounder. Darius Rucker - Miami Dolphins Wyatt Flores - "The Turtles" You read that right. Wyatt Flores just doesn't have a NFL team. For those of you who don't have any NFL loyalty, I'd root for who your favorite country artist is just to make it more interesting.

Kung-Fu Squirrel Hits Carrot-Eating Groundhog With A Flying Dropkick In Backyard Brawl

Squirrel vs groundhog

You've gotta fight for your right to... eat a carrot. There are no peaceful meals out in the wild. Can you imagine how awful that must be? Instead of really getting to enjoy a meal, wild animals are often forced to eat quickly and constantly be on alert in case another animal wants to come through and steal their grub. Even if that grub is just a measly carrot. This trail camera footage captured quite the interaction earlier this year when a squirrel, a crow and a groundhog all convened at what looks like a backyard watering hole. A small, circular container filled with water drew in the crow and the squirrel, all while a groundhog was front and center chowing down on a carrot (or two) that it must have swiped from a nearby garden. The crow and the squirrel can be seen in the video drinking from and standing near the water, but it quickly becomes apparent that they too were interested in the orange veggie that the groundhog was grubbing on. They tried to play it cool as the groundhog (also sometimes referred to as a woodchuck) gnawed on the delectable vegetable. Eventually, the squirrel grew tired of waiting for the groundhog to abandon the carrots, so it took matters into its own small little paws. When the groundhog least expected it, the smaller rodent got a running start and cracked open a can of kung-fu on the carrot-munching animal. It happens so fast that the groundhog can barely comprehend what just happened - while the crow sat in the background unfazed. The slow motion replay certainly showcases the unbelievable attack, but it's the freeze frame of the squirrel dropkicking the groundhog that really steals the show. Though the flying move was a phenomenal display of athleticism, it doesn't appear that the attack caused the groundhog to abandon the carrots. So this is one of those situations where the successful move didn't directly translate to a mission accomplished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7zDTlQP1-o

Matthew McConaughey Crushed His Texas Minister Of Culture Duties With Charles Woodson Stare Down & Quinn Ewers Highlights

Matthew McConaughey

Those poor souls who love Michigan football and saw their FCS-caliber quarterback Davis Warren get walloped by Texas in his own stadium could've just gone to Dallas Cosm to save themselves some pain. Oscar-winning actor and Texas minister of culture Matthew McConaughey was the off-field catalyst who, in my eyes, inspired the Longhorns to hit the field and dominate in Ann Arbor. Rocking his alma mater's flag prior to kickoff, McConaughey stared down former Wolverines Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson. No easy task, I don't care how good an actor you are! https://twitter.com/CFBONFOX/status/1832450275082203451 https://twitter.com/TexasLonghorns/status/1832454732356431887 Texas proceeded to go out and vindicate their A-list faculty member's impassioned endorsement, blitzing Michigan to the tune of a 24-3 lead. And even better, McConaughey was invited onto FOX's halftime show set to break down the action and the improvement he's seen from starting quarterback Quinn Ewers. https://twitter.com/CFBONFOX/status/1832476285274136833 Michigan alum Derek Jeter was the Wolverines' honorary captain. It sure looked like the New York Yankees legend didn't want any of the smoke on the sidelines in his exchanges with McConaughey. https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1832481672635544040 McConaughey's motto is to just keep livin'. And that he is, Livin' the dream. If I were a Hollywood star, one of the very first things I'd do would be to gain sideline access to my favorite football team, guest spot on pregame and halftime TV shows, and all that good stuff. That's a fair, not too exploitive way to leverage celebrity status, does it not? https://twitter.com/noah_gross27/status/1832448050561958241 https://twitter.com/JacobHRichman/status/1832454920659665277 All told, the Longhorns came out of Michigan with a 31-12 blowout win. That's about as good as they could've hoped for. But can we talk about McConaughey's analysis for a second? He highlighted the subtleties of Ewers' pocket movement and how he navigates pressure better than in past years. Those talking points alone are better than 90% of what you hear on halftime shows in any sport as is. If a perpetually teased run for political office isn't in the cards, I could use McConaughey as a designated hitter-style, locked-in mainstay on college football shows whenever Texas is involved in a big game. Think about it. We're getting the likely end of the Ewers era, straight into Arch Manning at QB in 2025. https://twitter.com/espn/status/1832522667926151531 Sam Ehlinger was a little overeager with his infamous, "WE'RE BAAAAACK!" proclamation. Nevertheless, Longhorns football is actually back right now. It's never been more back since Vince Young's heyday. Alright, alright, alright. Time to end this with my favorite McConaughey Texas-related clip. HOOK 'EM, MATTHEW. RALLY THE TROOPS! https://twitter.com/LonghornNetwork/status/1086814210141704193

“Damn, That’s How I’m Gonna Go Out?” – Aaron Rodgers Gets Emotional Recounting Achilles Injury In Alex Smith Interview

Aaron Rodgers

Alex Smith has been through some sh*t in his time as an NFL quarterback. More than most. If anyone can level with a fellow field general about a devastating injury, it's him. For all the nonsense ESPN has peddled about things like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, what a masterstroke it was to pair up Smith with Aaron Rodgers for a sit-down interview. During a key portion of this conversation, Rodgers discussed one of the most brutal plot twists in recent pro football memory ahead of the New York Jets' Monday night matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. That plot twist of course being when he blew out his Achilles in Week 1 of last season. It's not often you see Rodgers let his guard down to this degree. Something about connecting with Smith seemed to bring it out of him. Especially nowadays it's so easy to lose sight of the physical toll football takes, because millions of us love the game so much and just want to see our teams and fantasy football stars do well. This is some of the most compelling dialogue about quarterback play and injuries you'll see. "I knew when I was on the ground that something was wrong. Sometimes you get drilled, something’s off, you just kind of hope you get up, and it shakes itself out. Oh OK well that’s just a sprained MCL, or an ankle I have to walk off. But when I stood up…I knew it and I just went down." https://twitter.com/BoyGreen25/status/1832570055348846783 Last year really was one of the coolest scenes in my sports-watching lifetime, when Rodgers darted onto the field with the American flag on September 11 to absolute pandemonium at MetLife Stadium. https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1701387904373969244 To go from that to a season-ending injury in a matter of four plays is just the cruelest, most devastating outcome one could possibly imagine. In addition to how hard Rodgers' personal set back hit him, all the long-suffering Jets fans who finally had a surefire superstar QB were suddenly left with a lost season. Now there's been so much build-up to the 2024 campaign. Rodgers' lengthy rehab is complete. The vibes coming out of Jets camp are through the roof. The fan base is optimistic. It's very much a Super Bowl or bust situation. Rodgers himself has admitted that if this year doesn't go well, everybody's liable to get fired thereafter from the coaching staff to the franchise looking much harder at a more immediate Rodgers succession plan. Speculation persists that Rodgers could reunite with Davante Adams via an in-season trade if and when the Las Vegas Raiders struggle. Watching Rodgers sling it to Davante and Garrett Wilson would be a football purist's delight — and it'd flip the entire AFC and playoff picture on its head. Say what you will about some of Rodgers' quirkiness away from the field. He transcends the mundane when it comes to throwing the football. Here's hoping the four-time NFL MVP stays healthy with his 41st birthday looming in December. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mInaNPwWahw

High School Lineman Goes Viral For Rocking Suspenders With His Uniform

Football players

He's ready for business. This has Mississippi written all over it. Watching videos like this on TikTok is the sole reason I keep this brain cell killing app on my phone. This is pure gold. Something about small towns and football goes hand in hand, and this season is off to a BANG, thanks to this hoss. A Mississippi high schooler is going viral for his football practice uniform. When practicing, players are not fitted out in their jerseys, and if they are running simple drills, sometimes without their pads, exposing their undershirts of choice. This high school team looks like they were on the field running through a few plays before suiting up to play under the Friday night lights, and their lineman's warmup look shows he is the real deal. All of the players are sporting their gameday pants and sleeveless shirts. But, one of their linemen had an extra layer of protection while on the field...and no, it's not a brace of any sort. He's rocking suspenders. There is nothing that says "good ole country boy," like making sure you are not flashing the stands your plumbers crack. You know from the dedication to his look that he is locked in and loaded before kickoff starts. Although he might be pulling players down on the field, there is no way his britches are coming down with them. I hope this kid makes it to the NFL one day, and this is his signature look on and off the field. It would be legendary. This is the lineman I'd want on my team.
@whiskeyriff That’s the lineman I want on my team. // 🎥: @Hunter Slay #whiskeyriff #football #mississippi #lineman ♬ Redneck Shit - Wheeler Walker Jr.
Check out some of the hilarious comments left on the original post. "Every high school football team has the funny lineman that makes the HC laugh." "H O S S." "I promise those pants weren’t going anywhere, even without the suspenders." "The farmer's tan is legit as well." "Bright future in the blue-collar world." "W team attire." "Just know they probably won." Then, the player's mom comes across the video and shames those making fun of him, and for good reason. I bet this kid is a stone-cold killer on the field, suspenders or not. I wouldn't want to be lined up against him. "So this is MY SON! Being his size this is what we have to do to ensure his uniform fits properly. SMH at some of these comments making fun of him."

Northern Illinois Upsets Forever-Overrated Notre Dame Despite Refs Screwing The Huskies With The Worst Spot In Football History

Notre Dame NIU

South Bend wasn't ready for that MACtion, baby! https://twitter.com/MACSports/status/1832550033247396302 https://twitter.com/Hayesfawcett3/status/1832551559265186270 Actually, Notre Dame paid almost one and a half million dollars to have a doormat of an opponent and got more than they bargained for. https://twitter.com/FOS/status/1832551519717138556 Shout out to Northern Illinois for going into Notre Dame Stadium and beating the brakes off the Fighting Irish, who on an annual basis prove time and again that they have nary as much fight in them as their corny-a** leprechaun mascot. They're more liable to try to run away from an altercation than take the fight to an opponent. One road win at Texas A&M against an overrated, hyped-up quarterback prospect last week, and everyone's ready to crown the Irish. Has any team failed to meet preseason expectations more often than Notre Dame in the modern era? People are asking. People ask every year. The answer is the same. The pollsters don't care. They still rank the Irish way too high without fail. It's pathetic. Notre Dame was a f*****g 28-point favorite. What a fraud of a "powerhouse" program. LOL. You know what's more pathetic, though? How Saturday's officiating crew tried to rob the Huskies in broad daylight of a clear victory. A third-down run with less than a minute left should have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, netted the visitors a first down. https://twitter.com/JDue51/status/1832550697906176266 They could've run out the rest of the clock, and kicked the winning field goal as time expired. Instead, another overrated QB Riley Leonard got a last-gasp possession, where the Huskies D stood strong before a blocked 62-yard kick as time expired. https://twitter.com/NBCSports/status/1832553523180913064 Justice was served. The most egregious thing of all? The spot was called for a booth review, and the head ref had the gall to uphold the call on the field as it stood. What a moron. Anyone with functioning eyeballs could see Northern Illinois tailback Gavin Williams' full abdomen was across the first down marker. His knee was on the line while the rest of his being from there up was across the line to gain. Look at the reactions. It's unanimous. Even the corrupt NCAA couldn't rig their way to a Notre Dame win. They don't even look like they belong in the 12-team College Football Playoff at this point, although I'm sure the committee will bend over backwards to get them in if they have four losses or fewer. https://twitter.com/billsperos/status/1832550190085238922 https://twitter.com/Husker247BC/status/1832549619278204966 https://twitter.com/FBallGameplan/status/1832549660151394448 https://twitter.com/ColtSmith18/status/1832549708004266096 https://twitter.com/DavidNSimone/status/1832549469994246162 https://twitter.com/JeffDLowe/status/1832549541121552653 https://twitter.com/DanWolken/status/1832549189126942999 So telling that it took me forever to find a clip of the spot in question. The NCAA is probably trying to scrub the Internet of it as we speak. If I were Huskies coach Thomas Hammock — who needs a hammock for his gigantic testes wow I can't believe I just typed that — I would be crying to in outrage at the refs, combined with the overwhelming feeling of winning as a 22-to-1 moneyline bet. https://twitter.com/MACSports/status/1832553835899871523

Gretchen Wilson Appears Onstage With Donald Trump At Wisconsin Rally: “Vote For Freedom In November”

Gretchen Wilson Donald Trump

Who needs Taylor Swift's endorsement when you've got the Redneck Woman? Of course Taylor hasn't endorsed anybody yet, but it's widely expected that she's going to throw her name behind Vice President Kamala Harris at some point before the November election. And that's not really a surprise. When it comes to celebrity endorsements, most of them go to Democrats. And nobody really cares who Taylor Swift or George Clooney or really any celebrity is voting for. If you're basing your vote on who a billionaire thinks you should vote for, chances are you're voting against your own interests anyway. (Sorry, didn't mean to get on my soapbox there). But nevertheless, former President Donald Trump just got the support of one Grammy-award winning country star. Gretchen Wilson appeared at the GOP nominee's rally today in Mosinee, Wisconsin to not only sing the national anthem, but to offer her support for President Trump in November: "I'm a midwesterner. I come from a very small town in southern Illinois. I grew up very much like Senator JD Vance. I had to work hard and fight my way out of poverty just like many other Americans have done, but this is what I was taught to do: To earn my way... Back in the day, my family were all Kennedy Democrats. But that's when the Democrats were on the side of the people. Once I started paying attention to what was really going on I realized, the Democratic party left us. As a songwriter I pay close attention to words. The words that are being used, and the words that are not being used. I urge all Americans to pay close attention to what you are hearing and not hearing from the media, because the issues that are most important for our survival are what we're voting on. I'm here today to entertain you, but I'm also here today to show my support for the only team in this race that is telling the truth. My story isn't really that rare, but the American dream that I have been fortunate enough to find will almost certainly be lost forever if we do not show up and vote for freedom in November... Let's make sure we the people do all we can to save our country by voting for President Trump and JD Vance." Trump also had praise for Gretchen after her speech: "What a good job. Beautiful job. Thank you Gretchen. Great." https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1832500948880728565 Along with Gretchen, several others in the country music community have been vocal about their support for President Trump, including Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany, Travis Tritt, John Rich, Kid Rock, and newcomer Gavin Adcock.
