The heat on Travis Hunter’s relationship has cooled ahead of his rookie NFL season, but Dennis Rodman still managed to take a shot at him during a recent podcast appearance.

Hunter’s coupling with Leanna Lenee was the subject of rife criticism earlier this year. Thousands of social media users urged the former Colorado star to do away with his partner, who they thought was only around for the money, based on certain actions. Even former star receiver Dez Bryant had a say, unleashing a fiery speech about the relationship.

Hunter ignored the critics and has since married Lenee, stirring fans’ wrath with his decision on a prenup agreement.

Rodman, one of the most controversial athletes of his time, was a guest on Neon’s stream on Saturday. In a video trending on Twitter/X, he threw shade at Hunter after being asked, “A 21-year-old young man, what advice could you give me to evolve as a human being?”

“Just don’t be Travis Hunter,” he replied before laughing.

 

Travis Hunter Preparing For Potentially Historic Season

Meanwhile, Travis Hunter’s arrival in Jacksonville has given the team’s fanbase much to look forward to.

The No. 2 overall pick is preparing to play both cornerback and wide receiver, unprecedented in the modern era. He has been electric in training despite the disturbance of his father’s arrest last month.

The reigning Heisman has split his reps on offense and defense in training camp and lined up on both ends of the ball in his preseason debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hunter played 11 snaps on offense and 19 on defense, recording three catches for 16 yards while giving a decent account of himself on defense, although he noticeably missed on a tackle.

It will be interesting to see whether he leans more toward receiver or cornerback, but his rookie season will intrigue all the same, no matter where he places his focus.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
