'It's sad': Tyreek Hill's bold Dolphins claim stuns fans as ex-Chiefs star eyes emotional AFC clash

Tyreek Hill isn't just chasing another
ring—he's chasing closure. The Miami Dolphins star, once the heart of Kansas City's electric offense, now has a new target in sight: his former team.

With emotions running high and ambitions even higher, Hill has his sights set on an AFC title showdown that would pit him against the very franchise he helped build.
From Super Bowl highs to Dolphins dreams: Hill reflects on Chiefs exit
In a recent appearance on Johnny Manziel's YouTube channel, Hill gave fans a raw look into how he views the Chiefs' success in his absence. Despite Kansas City continuing to dominate, Hill didn't shy away from revealing the sting that comes with watching it from afar.
'As a fan it's great, but as a player who's been there, it's sad,' Hill admitted. 'It's like damn, them my boys, I had a chance to be there with them boys, but just watching Pat and his growth, watching Andy and how those guys roll over there, it's a beautiful thing to see.'
Hill, a 2016 fifth-round pick, was central to Kansas City's rise, contributing six elite seasons and helping secure a Super Bowl title in 2019. But his 2022 trade to Miami launched a new era—one where he's now the face of a fast, aggressive offense built around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Hill crowns Tua No.1, dares Chiefs to meet Dolphins in AFC showdown
While Manziel floated the idea of another Chiefs Super Bowl run, Hill pushed back with full conviction. 'My Miami Dolphins taking the AFC bro, don't doubt it bro,' he responded. And if it comes down to Miami vs Kansas City?
'We all know Tua is the best quarterback in the NFL,' Hill said. 'It'll be a great thing dawg, playing against [my] former team, Andy, Pat, and the guys, Kelce, it'll be great. I don't know. It would be a very emotional game for me.'

Despite Vegas odds favoring the Chiefs (+350) over Miami (+3500), Hill's belief hasn't wavered. As he enters his third season in Miami, he's still one of the league's most explosive threats—and he's ready to prove it, especially if it means toppling the dynasty he once called home.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reveals why Justin Tucker is quietly accepting 10-game ban

Why Justin Tucker is serving a 10-game ban without appeal-Ian Rapaport explains the strategic move (Image credits: IG/X) Justin Tucker isn't fighting his suspension—but don't mistake that for surrender. In a calculated move that's caught NFL insiders' attention, the veteran kicker is accepting a 10-game ban without appeal, even as he denies serious misconduct allegations. With his NFL future uncertain and no team currently under contract, Tucker is playing the long game. This decision isn't just about damage control—it's a strategic pivot aimed at salvaging his career. Serving time without a team: Tucker's tactical choice NFL Network's Ian Rapoport broke down why Tucker isn't challenging the suspension despite maintaining his innocence. 'So, no appeal for Justin Tucker because he is not employed by a team,' Rapoport said, emphasizing the unique context. 'He can work out, can theoretically practice with a team… but cannot play in an actual game until after the ten weeks are over.' This allows Tucker to quietly serve the suspension now and return eligible—ready for a midseason team in need. A quiet deal between Tucker, NFLPA, and league The NFL chose not to hold a formal disciplinary hearing, instead resolving the matter through a confidential agreement. Tucker's legal team confirmed his decision not to appeal and issued a statement on his behalf. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Turn everyday drives into standout moments.

Tucker's career took a major hit after the Baltimore Banner published allegations from six massage therapists spanning 2012 to 2016. Following the report, the Ravens moved on from their longtime kicker after 13 seasons, drafting Tyler Loop in April. Once the NFL's most accurate leg, Tucker's performance slipped last year to a career-low 73.3% conversion rate. His $6M-per-year value now hangs in limbo as he forfeits an estimated $3.52M in missed games.

'I'd love to have Joe Burrow': Bold QB pick shocks fans as Patrick Mahomes gets snubbed

For Edelman its not about headlines- its about the right fit to run a Patriots-style offense (Image via Getty) In a surprising twist, Patriots legends Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski left Patrick Mahomes off their top quarterback picks when asked who they'd want under center in New England's system. Despite Mahomes' Super Bowl rings and jaw-dropping playmaking, both opted for quarterbacks they felt better fit the franchise's identity. Their reasoning offers a glimpse into what Patriots-style football really demands. Why Edelman says Burrow fits the Patriots way Edelman made his pick clear on the Dudes on Dudes podcast: 'I'd love to have Joe Burrow.' While he praised Mahomes—'I mean, I love Mahomes'—he emphasized fit over flash. 'But our offense is a little different. There's a little more drop-back pass… I don't want someone running as much as Mahomes on those third downs. I want them throwing because I want those third downs.' Mahomes, though dominant, doesn't align with Edelman's vision of a precise, pocket-based scheme. The Chiefs QB averaged 4.6 rushes per game in 2024, converting 25 first downs via scrambles—the second-most among all quarterbacks. Edelman's pick underscores his belief in a traditional, pass-first Patriots setup rooted in timing and control. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 체지방 미친듯이 녹이는 [이것] 복부·허리 쭉쭉 빠진다! 진작할걸~ S라인 효소 더 알아보기 Undo Gronk wants Josh Allen as QB1—and It makes total sense Rob Gronkowski took a different route, choosing a QB who mirrors his own physicality: Josh Allen. 'I love him. He reminds me of myself at QB. That was a no-brainer for me. That was the first QB that popped into my head,' Gronk said. For him, Allen's rugged style was the perfect match for his vision of dominant football. In 2024, Allen led all quarterbacks with 12 rushing touchdowns and broke 42 tackles on designed runs. Gronk's comparison isn't far off—he sees Allen as a fullback with an elite arm, capable of leading an offense with sheer force. It's a pick that reflects Gronkowski's own career—explosive, unorthodox, and powerful.

What made Tom Brady say yes to the Netflix roast? Jeff Ross finally reveals the surprising reason

In 2024, legend Tom Brady did something few athletes of his stature would dare—he let himself be roasted on live television. Netflix's The Roast of Tom Brady turned into a cultural spectacle, drawing 13.8 million views in its first week and becoming the platform's most-watched one-off special. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But what led the seven-time Super Bowl champion, known for his unshakable poise and ironclad image, to become the target of biting jokes and brutal humor? What inspired Tom Brady to allow a roast on national TV? The idea was seeded years earlier. Comedian Jeff Ross, the 'Roastmaster General,' recounted the story on The Howard Stern Show. According to Ross, the journey started when he noticed something peculiar on Super Bowl Sunday, February 7, 2021—Tom Brady had been browsing his Instagram. 'I had seen him looking at my Instagram on Super Bowl Sunday a few years ago,' Ross told Stern. 'I was like, 'Why the f--- is Tom Brady on my Instagram?'' Ross had some edgy jokes posted, and surprisingly, Brady seemed to enjoy them. That same night, Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl LV victory over the Chiefs. The next day, Ross sent him a message: 'Dude, it's time for a roast. You obviously love this s---.' That Instagram DM snowballed into a full-fledged deal when Ross discovered that both their agents happened to work together. Netflix eagerly jumped on board. While many wondered what possessed Brady to say yes to such a ruthless format, Ross offered insight. 'I said to Tom right beforehand, 'Why are you doing this?,' and he goes, 'I love this kind of humor. People are too snowflakey right now.'' Brady's willingness to embrace self-deprecating comedy revealed a side of him fans rarely get to see—one that doesn't take itself too seriously, even after two decades of football dominance. The journey to the live roast wasn't smooth. 'It took so long,' Ross explained. 'Then he retired… then unretired… then was going through a divorce… then Netflix picked a festival date… and then we decided to do it live.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Of course, not every moment was easy to stomach. During the special, Ross cracked a joke about Patriots owner Robert Kraft and massage parlors, prompting Brady to mutter, 'Don't say that s--- again.' Ross later said, 'I think Tom was checking me the way a lawyer objects on behalf of a client.' Despite its success, Brady expressed personal regret—not for being roasted, but for the unintended emotional toll on his children. 'I loved when the jokes were about me… I didn't like the way it affected my kids,' he shared on The Pivot podcast. 'I wouldn't do that again because of the way it affected… the people I care about the most in the world.' Still, Brady's roast was a powerful reminder: even legends can laugh at themselves—until the punchlines hit too close to home. Also Read:
