'Stupid a** fans': Tyreek Hill unleashes disturbing rant on Buffalo fans, claims they have brain damage
Tyreek Hill ignited controversy by labeling Buffalo Bills fans as "stupid" (Image via AP) Tyreek Hill has never shied away from controversy, but his latest comments about the Buffalo Bills and their fans have pushed him into uncharted territory. The Miami Dolphins star wide receiver appeared on a livestream with popular streamer Adin Ross over the weekend, and what started as light trash talk quickly spiraled into a viral moment that has Bills Mafia — and much of the NFL world — outraged. Tyreek Hill sparks backlash after calling Bills fans 'stupid' and claiming they have CTE in viral rant When asked which team he dislikes the most, Tyreek Hill didn't hesitate. 'When I used to play in Kansas City, bruh, it was always 'f*ck the Bills' every time we played against them,' Hill said. 'And we f*cked them up every time. But in Miami, it's the same thing too though, but like 10 times harder.' But it wasn't just Buffalo's players that caught heat. Hill turned his attention to the team's passionate fan base with a shocking claim. 'Bills fans got CTE,' he said, referencing the degenerative brain disease typically linked to repeated head trauma — an incredibly serious condition often associated with former players, not fans. The comment was not only offensive but medically and ethically irresponsible, drawing swift criticism online. While some fans dismissed it as typical Tyreek Hill bravado, others called it 'disgusting' and 'tone-deaf,' especially given the growing awareness around CTE's deadly impact on athletes. Despite Hill's brash tone, the numbers tell a more humbling story. During his six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, the team went just 3-3 against the Bills, including playoff matchups. And since his high-profile trade to Miami, the Dolphins are just 1-6 against Buffalo, making the trash talk ring hollow for many. Yet Hill has always thrived on controversy, and this latest shot at Bills Mafia fits his long-standing persona. What makes it different this time is the line he crossed — bringing a medical condition into a feud that could have remained on the field. Also Read: Cheetah's last sprint in Miami? Tyreek Hill trade rumors intensify as Dolphins weigh 2025 contract gamble While the NFL has not commented publicly on the situation, some have called for the league to step in. Whether they do or not, Hill's remarks are sure to fuel the rivalry between Buffalo and Miami even further, just in time for what promises to be another hard-fought AFC East season.

Police seek help to solve 2023 murder of Chris Hill in West Knoxville
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — The Knoxville Police Department is asking for information that could help solve a 2023 murder case to come forward. Officers responded to 218 E. Depot Avenue on December 13, 2023, where they found 51-year-old Chris Hill unresponsive. He had been shot multiple times and died at the scene. Babalu on Gay Street closing for the second time Nearly a year and a half later, no arrests have been made in the case. During the investigation, detectives determined that the morning of the shooting, a gray Toyota 4Runner was stolen from outside a West Knoxville home after it was left running. Later that day, Hill was working as a plumber on Boright Drive. 'Surveillance video revealed that there was a Toyota 4Runner that appeared to be driving, circulating through the neighborhood, watching the work truck, and then ultimately followed him down onto Depot Avenue,' Scott Erland with KPD said. 'When Mr. Hill got out of his truck, an individual got out of that 4Runner and shot Chris Hill multiple times.' $2,000 reward offered for information in 2023 West Knoxville fatal shooting The 4Runner was later found abandoned. Investigators are still working to find out why the shooting happened. 'This was, by all appearances, a targeted shooting, but we don't really totally know why that was the case, why Chris Hill would have been targeted,' Erland said. Now investigators are turning to the public. Former Knoxville Police Chief Phil Keith said no piece of information is too small. 'Most cases that we solve are dependent on citizen input, citizen witnesses, and no one should ever think that because they know very little it may not help, because it's like a big jigsaw puzzle,' Keith explained. He said keeping the case in the public eye is also important, because sometimes those with information don't realize they have it until later on. 'Any little tidbit of information often leads to a break in the cases, and of course the media. Nationwide the media is a huge player in that role,' he said. Lonely Bones: Stories of the Forgotten Dead Anyone with information that could help investigators is urged to contact East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers at 865-215-7165. Tipsters can remain anonymous and could be eligible to receive a reward of up to $2,000. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tyreek Hill's strong message to Dolphins teammates after trade drama
The post Tyreek Hill's strong message to Dolphins teammates after trade drama appeared first on ClutchPoints. Tyreek Hill sent the sports world into a frenzy earlier in the offseason when he demanded a trade immediately after the 21-14 Week 18 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, in recent weeks, the Miami Dolphins have noticed a change in his approach with the team, and it doesn't appear he wants out of Miami anymore. On Wednesday, Hill sent a strong message to his teammates to prove to them he's locked in with them for the upcoming season. Advertisement During an open interview with media members, the 31-year-old wideout claimed that he wants to be someone his teammates can rely on, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Tyreek Hill admitted that his divorce situation with his ex-wife has been rough, and said that going to church and therapy more is helping him work through it. Overall, it sounds like the Dolphins star is ready to focus more on football and remove the outside distractions. 'Every day you gotta prove who you are. It doesn't matter how much you learned or how much success you've had in this league. It's always a 'next day' mentality,' said Tyreek Hill. 'Every day, I'm trying to prove myself as one of those guys that this team can depend on in crucial moments… Emotions were high in the end. At the end of the day, man, I'm just looking to move forward from [the trade drama] and hope that I can prove to myself, prove to my teammates that I'm still one of them ones.' The seven-time Pro Bowler also claimed he still aims to surpass the 2,000 receiving yard mark in a single season, which is a feat that's never been accomplished. The current record is 1,964 receiving yards, which was set by Calvin Johnson with the Detroit Lions in the 2012 season. Tyreek Hill's career high is 1,799 yards, which he reached in the 2023 season with the Dolphins. Hill came just shy of 1,000 receiving yards in the 2024-25 campaign, which was the first time in five seasons that he failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark. Through 17 games played, Hill finished with 81 receptions, 959 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. His six scores tied for the lowest of his career.

Tyreek Hill: 'I've got to prove myself' to Dolphins after last season's frustrations
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Tyreek Hill isn't expecting his Miami Dolphins teammates to vote him team captain again. Not after how last season ended — when the veteran wide receiver took himself out of the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the New York Jets with no reported injury and hinted at wanting out of Miami afterward. Hill has since diminished those actions as more frustration with a poor season than any serious desire to play elsewhere. Entering his fourth season in Miami, he's aiming to show the Dolphins that he's still a leader they can depend on. 'I've got to prove myself,' Hill said after Wednesday's session of organized team activities. 'This OTAs, training camp, I got to prove myself. I've got to show up different. The mindset's got to be different." Hill added he doesn't feel as if he deserves being selected team captain — he's been one each of his previous three years — but 'if I didn't get it, I wouldn't dwell on it. I wouldn't sweat it ... because I put myself in that position.' Hill has spent the offseason recovering from two wrist procedures. His right wrist was heavily taped Wednesday — the one he had surgery on earlier this year to repair ligament damage after playing through the injury the entire 2024 season. Hill did not participate in 7-on-7 drills during Miami's first OTA practice that was open to reporters, but he did some individual work on the practice field and cheered on teammates during drills. Afterward, he said he's in a 'better spot' than he was last season and was feeling zero pain. He's expected to resume catching passes by training camp. 'Tyreek's done a great job of being proactive of when he got the surgery done,' coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday, 'and then making sure that he is able to do as much as he can with the team, which has very much included his daily participation in how he attacks all of our strength program. ... As we train his way back into recovery of that hand, then he'll start catching the ball.' Hill was noticeably leaner when he spoke on Wednesday. He said he weighs 183 pounds now, down from around 197 when he first got to Miami. 'Obviously I can run with anybody, run by anybody,' Hill said. 'But I think having that endurance, having that ability to not get tired from third downs is very important. So I wanted to slim down and actually lose body fat.' He repeated his goal of reaching 2,000 yards receiving, something he came close to in 2023 but wasn't able to achieve. Hill led the NFL with 1,799 yards receiving that season for Miami. His 112.4 yards per game and 13 receiving touchdowns also led the NFL. He came nowhere near replicating those numbers in 2024, finishing the season with 959 yards — his fewest since the 2019 season with Kansas City. And Miami's offense took a step back in part because injuries sidelined starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throughout the season. He's remained in headlines for different reasons since then, whether for chatter that he plans to race Olympian Noah Lyles, or recently because of a domestic dispute with his wife, who has since filed for divorce. Hill said he's used therapy and church to cope with the drama of the past few months, while trying to put the frustrations of last season behind him. 'It's tough, man, but at the same time, I've got to understand what I'm trying to accomplish and what this team is trying to accomplish, too," Hill said. "Because I want to be a part of something special. I want to win.' The Dolphins are still pursuing trade options for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey after both sides agreed to part ways. Beyond that, McDaniel has little interest in discussing the details of what went wrong. 'Quite honestly. Zero has changed since the last time I said anything about him,' McDaniel said Wednesday. 'I'm very much interested in the players that I'm coaching on the field today.' Ramsey is due approximately $24 million in guaranteed money in 2025. The Dolphins would be in a better financial position if they wait until after June 1 to trade him, as it would clear about $10 million in cap space. Ramsey was not seen at OTAs on Wednesday, and the Dolphins aren't spending much time talking about his potential departure. 'Jalen's my dog, but we're kind of focused on the guys in the room right now," cornerback Kader Kohou said. "We don't talk about Jalen, we let the upstairs handle that situation.' /hub/nfl

Lottery winner claims prize — and gets huge shock. ‘Is this really happening?'
A South Carolina woman knew her lottery ticket was a winner, but the prize amount came as a complete shock. Betty Hill got a $1 million surprise Tuesday, May 27, when she claimed her winnings at lottery headquarters in Raleigh, the North Carolina Education Lottery said in a May 28 news release. 'I was like, 'Is this really happening to me,'' Hill told officials, laughing. 'I was surprised it was that large.' She bought the $1,000,000 Loteria scratch-off game while visiting a Smokey Express station in Maggie Valley, where she also owns a timeshare, the lottery said. 'I stopped to buy the ticket at the station I always like to stop at,' she told the lottery. Hill said she figured the prize was big after she scanned her ticket and was told to claim her payout at lottery headquarters, according to officials. However, she waited to find out just how much she'd won. Hill beat odds of 1 in 1,224,945 to snag the game's top prize, according to the lottery's website. After the surprising windfall, she chose a lump sum payment of $600,000 and took home $430,503 after taxes, the lottery said. 'I've never won anything like this before,' Hill told officials. A top prize worth $1 million remains up for grabs in the $1,000,000 Loteria scratch-off game, according to the North Carolina Education Lottery. Hill didn't say how she plans to spend her winnings. Maggie Valley is about a 280-mile drive west from downtown Raleigh.
