Tom Brady ‘spits' on Jets jersey, rips up Eli Manning one in Fanatics Fest WWE heel entrance
Tom Brady just embraced his inner villain.
The legendary quarterback had the chance Friday to do a WWE entrance at Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center — and he decided to go full-blown heel.
With WWE star Cody Rhodes' entrance music blaring, Brady began his entry by spitting on (or at least appearing to), discarding and stomping on a Sauce Gardner Jets jersey.

He then received an Eli Manning Giants jersey and tore it clean in half, which prompted Manning to show up out of nowhere and jump on his back, piggyback-riding him all the way back up the entrance ramp and making a humorous exit.
For an event taking place in New York City, Brady certainly had some fun with the local football teams.

While Jets fans were reminded of their disdain for the former division rival after Brady showed up in their city and discarded a Gardner jersey, Manning and the Giants fans can likely laugh the moment off, knowing that Manning is responsible for two of Brady's three Super Bowl losses.
The moment playfully reignited the NFL rivalry that saw the two legendary Super Bowl matchups, where Manning famously took down Brady both times — including once to halt Brady's Patriots from completing a perfect 19-0 season.

Widely considered as the greatest quarterback of all time, Brady went 7-3 in Super Bowls.
Manning also made a WWE entrance of his own at Fanatics Fest, electing to walk out to Roman Reigns' signature — but he elected not to destroy any jerseys as Brady did.
Brady's former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, has made an actual WWE appearance in the past, and with how Brady's villainous entrance looked, perhaps it could be his turn next.

Bills' Michael Hoecht: Super Bowl title would mean 'everything' to him
In little surprise, Michael Hoecht gets it. The pass rusher signed with the Buffalo Bills during free agency this offseason. He does have to face a suspension early on next season, but Hoecht is going to be chomping at the bit to get his Bills career going. Advertisement That's because Hoecht completely understands what the Bills and a potential Super Bowl means to Buffalo. Despite already having won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, it sounds like one with the Bills would be even bigger for Hoecht. That's because Hoecht is a close local to western New York as an Oakville, Ontario, native. Hoecht said during minicamp that bringing a title to Buffalo would be a massive achievement and credited Bills Mafia as his reason why a Super Bowl win would mean so much. Hoecht's explanation can be found in the clip below: This article originally appeared on Bills Wire: Bills' Michael Hoecht: Super Bowl title would mean 'everything' to him

(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants said Major League Baseball is looking into allegations of abuse made by the wife of reliever Sean Hjelle. Caroline Hjelle made a post on TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children with a caption that said: 'When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this (video was taken) once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone.' The Giants said in a statement Saturday that they are 'aware of these serious allegations' and that MLB is handling it. Manager Bob Melvin said before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox that Hjelle would be available to pitch. 'Obviously we're aware of it,' Melvin said. 'He told me about it last night. We talked to MLB. At this point, it's in their jurisdiction right now so I really can't comment on it further.' Hjelle took the loss in Friday night's game against the Red Sox, allowing a tiebreaking homer to Ceddanne Rafaela in the sixth inning. Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six appearances this season. ___ AP MLB:
