About 25 NFL players wore Guardian Caps out of 1,696 active players in the 2025-2026 season.  The caps can absorb at least 10% of the force of a hit, the NFL claims, and provide 15% to 20% more protection, according to the Stanford University School of Medicine. Even with the]]> https://hunewsservice.com/news/rondale-moores-death-renews-focus-on-mental-health-in-the-nfl/ Thu, 26 Feb 2026 19:34:47 +0000 https://hunewsservice.com/?p=23097 WASHINGTON (HUNS) — Rondale Moore was known for his speed, versatility and joy for the game. From his breakout season at Purdue to his time in the NFL, Moore built a reputation as a dynamic wide receiver whose energy stood out on and off the field. Moore was found dead Saturday in his hometown of New Albany, Indiana, in what authorities described as an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police and media reports. He was 25. Moore’s death has renewed a difficult but urgent conversation about mental health in the NFL, a league that celebrates toughness while many of]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/super-bowl-continues-to-shatter-records-as-a-celebration-beyond-football/ Fri, 13 Feb 2026 20:51:00 +0000 https://hunewsservice.com/?p=22968 With 124.9 million viewers, this year’s Super Bowl was the second most-watched NFL championship in history, reflecting the game’s role as one of the country’s largest shared cultural moments beyond the action on the field. The event turns homes, bars and restaurants into communal viewing spaces, as watch parties have become a central part of how people experience the Super Bowl each year, drawing both devoted football fans and casual viewers.  This year’s matchup featured the Seattle Seahawks, who defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This earned the franchise its second NFL championship.]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/seattles-defense-and-special-teams-shine-in-their-super-bowl-lx-victory/ Mon, 09 Feb 2026 07:58:56 +0000 https://hunewsservice.com/?p=22917 The Seattle Seahawks came into Super Bowl LX widely regarded as having the best defense in the National Football League (NFL), and they looked every bit like it. They held the Patriots to just 13 points, forcing them into multiple turnovers — and those 13 points all came in the fourth quarter. Special teams also played a huge role in the 29-13 win for not only field goals, but punts as well.  The Seahawks constantly had the Patriots offensive line and quarterback Drake Maye under heavy pressure. They ended the game with six sacks, one short of tying the Super]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/super-bowl-lx-raises-stakes-on-and-off-the-field/ Sat, 07 Feb 2026 06:25:06 +0000 https://hunewsservice.com/?p=22893 WASHINGTON – The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet Sunday in Super Bowl LX, a rematch from over a decade ago. The stakes could not be higher as the Seahawks seek redemption, and businesses anticipate a positive economic impact. In 2015, a goal-line interception cost the Seahawks a touchdown, leaving the Patriots to win 28-24. This year, the Seahawks ranked in the top ten of every major defensive category in the NFL. They also ranked first in points allowed per drive. Seahawks fans, like Howard University student Jayden Mason, believe the defense will be enough to win. “Our]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/students-cheer-on-eagles-and-chiefs-at-super-bowl-watch-party/ Sat, 15 Feb 2025 11:20:31 +0000 https://hunewsservice.com/?p=20670 Spirits were high among Howard University students who gathered in the theater at the Mazza GrandMarc apartments in College Park, Maryland, to watch the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.  Pizza boxes lined the front table below the humongous screen at the  watch party, which was put on by Jaedon Arnasalal, a graduate assistant and law student.  Arnasalal hosted Super Bowl watch parties annually during his three years as a resident assistant at Cook Hall on Howard’s main campus. He teamed up with the HU Philly Club for this year’s gathering.  Eja]]> https://hunewsservice.com/variety/entertainment/game-over-fans-react-to-kendrick-lamars-super-bowl-performance/ Mon, 10 Feb 2025 08:11:58 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=18894 “GAME OVER” is what was displayed at the end of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 59 halftime performance on Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles led the Kansas City Chiefs 24 to 0. With no context, this statement may have confused viewers, but many who had kept up with the Compton rapper’s beef with Canadian rapper Drake knew exactly what had just transpired. Suspense had been building for months leading up to the performance. In September 2024, the National Football League (NFL) announced that the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper would be headlining its Super Bowl halftime show. But even right before the show]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/commanding-the-playoffs-washingtons-cinderella-season-fuels-dmv-pride/ Wed, 22 Jan 2025 18:00:15 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=18623 The Washington Commanders fans are using the phrase “Cinderella Run” to describe the team’s playoff journey to the Super Bowl. Since 2020, the Washington Commanders have undergone major transformations, including changes in ownership, new head coaches and the rise of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. As underdogs who had not won a playoff game since the 2005 postseason, the team has now secured two victories this year drawing attention for its progress and leadership. The Commanders defeated the Detroit Lions (15-3) in the divisional round playoffs on Saturday. The Lions were 9.5-point favorites against the Commanders (14-5), according to Larry Hartstein’s]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/kansas-city-chiefs-back-at-white-house-to-celebrate-super-bowl-58/ Sun, 02 Jun 2024 00:27:35 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=17364 WASHINGTON — The Kansas City Chiefs traveled to the White House for the second year in a row on Friday to celebrate their 2024 Super Bowl win in February. With the 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers marking the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl in five seasons, the team has become quite familiar with the nation’s capital in recent years. President Biden compared the team’s back-to-back championships to a win he will seek in this year’s presidential election. “Welcome! Back to the White House, Super Bowl 58 Champions Kansas City Chiefs,” Biden exclaimed. “First team in 20 years to win back]]> https://hunewsservice.com/sports/the-road-to-the-nfl-for-howard-universitys-ian-wheeler/ Tue, 14 May 2024 22:03:44 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=17355 For most college athletes a career in the.
