CJ Gardner-Johnson is officially in his bold, unfiltered era. Just days after landing with the Houston Texans, the former Eagles safety went live on Instagram and casually dropped a jaw-dropping statement that has Philly fans spiraling.
When a viewer tried to downplay his impact on the Eagles' success, CJ didn't just respond, he went full scorched earth.
CJ Gardner-Johnson's IG Live gets spicy with bold claim about the Eagles
The viral quote came during an impromptu IG Live session around June 14–15. A fan in the comments tried to clown him, saying something along the lines of
'You won't see another ring without Philly.'
CJ, clearly not one to let things slide, took that and flipped it with a full-blown diss on his former team.
'The Eagles probably won't see a ring without me. Y'all saw what happened when I left. I'm popping now, I'm glad I'm in Texas.'
CJ Gardner Johnson Says Eagles Will Not Win A Super Bowl Without Him!!!!!
Yeah… he said that. Live. No notes.
No PR filter, no press release, just raw vibes from a guy who believes he was the difference-maker in Philly's Super Bowl hopes.
Fan comments triggered a passionate response about his departure
It wasn't just trash talk, it sounded personal. CJ made it clear he feels like his presence in the Eagles' secondary was a game-changer.

Since he left after the 2022 season, Philly hasn't exactly been dominant in the postseason and he knows it.
'Y'all saw what happened when I left,'
he said.
'I'm popping now.'
For CJ, the stats speak for themselves and so does his swagger.
If there was any doubt that CJ Gardner-Johnson is loving his new life with the Texans, this quote erased it.
'I'm glad I'm in Texas,'
he said proudly, making it clear he sees Houston as a better fit, a better opportunity, or maybe just a fresh start with fewer Philly critics in his comments.
He's also stepping into a rising squad led by C.J. Stroud and DeMeco Ryans, so confidence might not be misplaced. Still, calling out your former Super Bowl team like that? Bold move.
As expected, fans had opinions. Philly diehards didn't take it lightly, with some calling CJ 'delusional' or 'salty' about his short stint with the Eagles. Others, especially Texans fans, loved the energy. The NFL community couldn't agree whether he was speaking facts or just feeling himself a little too hard.
But one thing's for sure: he got everyone talking.
CJ Gardner-Johnson is already making noise before his first official snap in a Texans uniform. Whether or not his Eagles Super Bowl prediction ages well remains to be seen, but he's clearly betting big on himself and he's not afraid to let the whole league know it.

UAE International Yoga Day: Sania Mirza joins thousands at Abu Dhabi as UAE hosts nationwide yoga events
Events held at ADNEC, Expo Centre Sharjah, and Danube Sports World brought together thousands across the UAE to mark the day with large-scale yoga sessions/ Image: X India in dubai On a luminous Saturday morning, the UAE woke up to more than just a sunrise. From Dubai's indoor arenas to the grand halls of Abu Dhabi and the vibrant pavilions of Sharjah, the country transformed into a massive yoga studio in celebration of International Yoga Day . Thousands of residents of all ages and backgrounds rolled out their mats, straightened their spines, and opened their hearts, not just in physical practice, but in a shared experience of mindfulness, movement, and community healing. The spirit of unity and wellness echoed from Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) to Danube Sports World in Dubai, with every venue seeing strong turnouts. Former Indian tennis star Sania Mirza was among the high-profile attendees, joining the Abu Dhabi celebrations alongside Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE's Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and Sanjay Sudhir, the Indian Ambassador to the UAE. — indembabudhabi (@indembabudhabi) A Morning of Milestones: Abu Dhabi Leads with Dignity and Heart In Abu Dhabi, the yoga session began at 10am at ADNEC, where the venue was filled wall-to-wall with yoga mats as instructors led a synchronized group session. The event drew thousands and stood out not only for its scale but also for its sense of occasion and inclusivity. A standout moment came when Zayne Merzi Sodawaterwala, a teenager on the autism spectrum, was honoured for a groundbreaking achievement. Zayne set a world record by becoming the fastest person to complete a 10km inline skate, clocking an impressive 40 minutes and 4 seconds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's What a 6-Hours Gutter Upgrade Should Cost You LeafFilter Partner Undo The award was presented by Sanjay Sudhir, who said, 'We are celebrating Zayne's achievement and yoga together. Yoga teaches us focus, balance, and discipline. His story inspires all of us.' Zayne, visibly moved, shared: 'Today is also UAE Father's Day, and UAE is like my home. It's a gift for my father. It's a great feeling to receive this award on such a special day.' He added: 'My journey was never about glory, it was about a father's prayer to see his son live a life of joyful independence with passion and purpose. Today, with God's grace, this recognition means the world because it says to every child like me – you matter, and your story matters.' Sharjah Shines in the Evening: Wellness, Wisdom, and Community Spirit As daylight faded, Sharjah stepped into the spotlight. Hosted by the Consulate General of India in Dubai, the Expo Centre Sharjah came alive with yet another mass yoga gathering, this one marked by a distinctive family-friendly energy. Crowds began gathering as early as 5:30pm, and among them were hundreds of schoolchildren from local institutions, eager to immerse themselves in the ancient healing practice. The event was more than a visual spectacle, it served as a communal classroom. Instructors demonstrated accessible postures while healthcare professionals spoke about yoga's practical benefits, including its ability to aid digestion, ease hernias, and support internal healing when practiced regularly under proper guidance. Speaking to local news outlet Khaleej Times, participant Meenakshi Raman, who attended the session with her 12-year-old daughter, shared: 'We do yoga at home every morning, but today felt very special. Practicing in a large group like this gives you more energy. You meet others who are also passionate about wellness, and you pick up new techniques.' Dubai: A Breath of Stillness in a City of Motion In the heart of Dubai, where movement often defines daily life, the yoga celebration took a different turn, inward. The city's Danube Sports World, in collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council, hosted an indoor yoga event that welcomed over 300 participants. Attendees ranged from long-time practitioners to influencers, families, and curious first-timers. The evening's focus was clear: breathe deeply, rest consciously, and reflect purposefully. The program emphasized breathwork and deep relaxation techniques, offering a pause in the rush of daily routine. Anis Sajan, Vice Chairman of Danube Group and a regular yoga enthusiast, described the session as transformative: 'The breathing session was incredibly powerful. In our fast-paced lives, we forget to pause. Yoga teaches us to breathe right, and that one habit can change your life.' He added: 'Yoga is more than movement. It is reflection, it is grounding, and it is a path to healing, both individually and collectively. With so much happening around us globally, it is essential that we pause, reflect, and come together to heal as a community.' Also in attendance was Ahmad Ibrahim Busherin, head of the sponsorship and partnership section at Dubai Sports Council, who emphasized the council's commitment: 'This event reflects our commitment to encouraging healthy, active lifestyles across the UAE. We are proud to support such initiatives that inspire physical and mental well-being.' he said. International Yoga Day 2024 was not merely observed in the UAE. It was embraced, embodied, and elevated to a collective expression of purpose. The scale was vast, but what truly stood out was the spirit: here, yoga wasn't about performance, it was about presence. And everywhere, that presence was palpable.

Danny Boyle Explains What To Expect Of The Bone Temple, Sequel To 28 Years Later
Last Updated: 28 Years Later makers have already finished filming the sequel, The Bone Temple and it is expected to come out in 2026. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, who gave us 28 Days Later over 20 years ago, are back with its sequel, 28 Years Later. The new zombie film is already getting positive reviews online and it's just the start of a fresh trilogy that promises even more excitement. The next part, called The Bone Temple, is ready and waiting to surprise audiences. The good news is that filming for this sequel is already done and is expected to come out in January 2026. So far, not much has been shared about the story of the next film. But a few cast members have already been confirmed for The Bone Temple. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell and Emma Laird will be part of the movie. One big surprise is that Cillian Murphy will return as Jim, the same character he played in 28 Days Later. In an earlier interview with Screen Rant, Danny Boyle shared that the 28 Years Later trilogy might not follow a single continuous storyline. Instead, each film will tell its own separate tale within the same world. The filmmaker said, 'It's spread over three films, ultimately, and each film would stand independently. But there'd be a bigger tale to tell, and it would be based on a family, and these two [points to Aaron and Jodie] would be the origin of the family. So, it's independent from the first film, but it's still the same apocalypse 28 years later as it was for Cillian Murphy in the first film and Naomie Harris. But this is 28 years later, and we don't know what's happened to them [Jim and Selena]. I'm not allowed to tell you, but these two are more than worthy stand-ins." As per the official synopsis of 28 Years Later, 'It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well." The movie stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes.

Tom Brady shocks everyone by laughing at Bill Belichick's private moment with Jordon Hudson caught on doorbell
Tom Brady shocks everyone by laughing at Bill Belichick's private moment with Jordon Hudson caught on doorbell (Image via Getty) Retired quarterback Tom Brady made a surprising comment during a Netflix roast in May 2024. He talked about his favorite 'Ring'—not a Super Bowl ring, but a Ring doorbell. People paused. How could a Ring camera beat seven championship rings? The answer lies in a late‑night moment. A camera captured legendary coach Bill Belichick sneaking out of a home at 6 a.m. That clip went viral fast. Tom Brady laughed and praised Bill Belichick. Now fans everywhere are talking. What really happened and why did Tom Brady choose that moment as his favorite? Tom Brady praises Bill Belichick caught on ring footage At The Greatest Roast of All Time in May 2024, Tom Brady, 46, joked on Netflix about the famous Ring camera video. He said his favorite 'Ring' was the one that recorded Bill Belichick leaving Jordon Hudson's home at 6 a.m. in November 2023. Tom Brady said, 'Hey you still got it Bill respect baby.' His words echoed around social media and news wasn't a serious jab. Instead, it sounded like playful respect from Tom Brady to his former coach, calling him 'metis' at that moment. Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson ring camera story explained In November 2023, a Ring doorbell camera outside a Massachusetts Airbnb filmed shirtless Bill Belichick, 72, leaving the home early in the morning. It shocked people nationwide. That house belonged to his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, a former college cheerleader aged 24. Soon after, podcaster Pablo Torre investigated. He tracked Airbnb, rented it, and even found a second Ring video of Bill Belichick carrying a satchel and water bottle. Pablo Torre talked with the homeowners. They said they first thought his companion might be 'a dancer or an escort' because she told them she danced, and the age gap raised eyebrows. Their findings confirmed the clip dated from November 2023. The novel video, the age difference between Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson, and the odd early‑morning exit sparked intense online attention. The mix of privacy, curiosity, and humor turned the Ring video into a cultural moment. That is why Tom Brady singled it out as his favorite 'Ring.'
