When Hill was a young comic in the 1970s, he refused to deign to racist stereotypes of Native Americans. Rather, his material addressed bigotry toward Native Americans throughout history, taking aim at White viewers, the forced displacement of indigenous people and even the harmful history of Christopher Columbus and Plymouth Rock Pilgrims. In 1977, 26-year-old Hill appeared on “The Richard Pryor Show,” the first time a Native American stand-up performed on a program that aired across the… Source link

Jerry Jones said it best — and apparently said it for many — when he summarized the Dallas Cowboys‘ playoff disappointment in January with a warning: “We all know how it goes in the NFL. The whole thing is set up to take away from the best and add to the ones that need improvement.” We can argue the whole “best” thing in that analysis, but it’s clear the broader point Jones was making. Good rosters end up losing good players, or in some cases, great players. And it seems to be… Source link

Jamahal Hill made quick work of Johnny Walker on Saturday at UFC Vegas 48. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) LAS VEGAS — Jamahal Hill’s nickname is “Sweet Dreams,” but it was Johnny Walker who took a very violent nap on Saturday at UFC Vegas 48 inside the Apex. Hill caught Walker with a crushing right hand to the temple that beat Walker’s jab to the mark. Walker did a dead fall backward, but Hill was so quick, he got to Walker before the referee. Hill landed another right to the chin… Source link

Patrick Mahomes is one of the best passers we’ve ever seen. And Tyreek Hill can catch it.  The Kansas City Chiefs came out looking great in the AFC championship game. On their first drive, the Chiefs easily drove downfield on the Cincinnati Bengals. Then Mahomes and Hill had a fantastic highlight for the score.  Mahomes rolled to his right while Hill ran along the back line of the end zone. Mahomes threw a fastball from a crazy angle, which he is better at than anyone.  Mahomes threw a dart… Source link

Tyreek Hill‘s 64-yard touchdown catch and run was one of the wildest moments in quite possibly the wildest game in recent NFL history, but the NFL isn’t happy with one part of the play. The league has fined the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver $10,300 for flashing a peace sign at defenders while running into the end zone, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Here’s the play in question, which the NFL had no qualms about posting to social media despite the poor sportsmanship on… Source link

Tyreek Hill’s pom-pom celebration has cost him. The NFL fined the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver $12,875 on Saturday after he used a cheerleader’s pom-poms to celebrate a touchdown in their wild-card win last week, according to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Hill scored on a 31-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter of Kansas City’s 42-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round last week. While celebrating in the end zone, Hill grabbed a Chiefs… Source link

Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive of Google, has paid $65 million for Enchanted Hill, a prized piece of undeveloped land in Beverly Hills that was owned by late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, according to people familiar with the situation. The deal, which closed in December, marks the end of a more than three-year push to sell the roughly 120-acre property, which came on the market asking $150 million in 2018.  Source link

The New Orleans Saints were very much alive for a playoff spot on Sunday afternoon, but their hopes of doing anything in the playoffs looked a lot murkier before they knew if they’d made the postseason.  The Saints lost quarterback Taysom Hill to a Lisfranc injury to his foot, New Orleans coach Sean Payton told Fox sideline reporter Laura Okmin. Hill wasn’t ruled out, but that’s generally a serious injury. Trevor Siemian replaced Hill.  The Saints needed a win and a San Francisco 49ers loss… Source link

The NFL is a game of stars. We know their names, we know their faces, we know their allure and their magnetism. Fantasy football is a game about numbers. Sometimes you get them from a star, sometimes you don’t. It really doesn’t matter. Just score more than your opponent. Taysom Hill, this is your moment. Taysom Hill showed the power of the running quarterback The early window of Week 14 wasn’t particularly elegant. A lot of games were blowouts and plenty of stars disappointed. But at the… Source link

The biggest double-take contract numbers on the doorstep of NFL free agency weren’t hard to find Sunday, with the New Orleans Saints signing quarterback Taysom Hill to a gaudy — but entirely voiding — four-year, $140 million contract extension. The key words in that sentence: Entirely voiding. In most cases of NFL contracts, that phrase translates into numbers as being “entirely meaningless.” In terms of what the extension implies, this isn’t one of those cases. There are several… Source link
