Undertaker To Headline WWE 2022 Hall Of Fame Class

The Undertaker will headline WWE’s 2022 Hall of Fame class.

The ceremony will be held during the weekend of WrestleMania 38, airing live on Peacock.

The Undertaker is the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022. He will be enshrined in the hallowed hall during the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony as part of WrestleMania Week.

The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Callaway, is one of the most recognizable figures in professional wrestling history with a career spanning nearly 30 full years.

The Houston native is also credited for having the longest winning streak at WWE’s biggest event, WrestleMania, having gone 21-0 before experiencing his first loss to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30 in 2014.

Aaron Rodgers Is Named NFL’s Most Valuable Player For The 2nd Year In A Row

For the second straight year, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named AP NFL Most Valuable Player.

The award marks the fourth of his 17-year career, as he also won for his play in the 2011, 2014 and 2020 seasons.

Rodgers finished the 2021 season throwing for 4,115 yards, 37 touchdowns, and four interceptions while leading the Packers to the top seed in the NFC with a 13-4 record. The Packers would go on to lose in the NFC Divisional Round to the San Francisco 49ers.

The 38-year-old has played his entire career in Green Bay and won Super Bowl XLV in 2011, where he was named the game’s most valuable player.

Rodgers said, “It’s been an amazing 17 years. So thankful for the memories and the moments over the years.”

Houston Texans Hire Lovie Smith As Head Coach

The Houston Texans have officially named Lovie Smith as their next head coach.

Smith is no stranger to the NFL or the Texans, having previously served as the Chicago Bears head coach from 2004 to 2012 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2014 to 2015. This past season, Smith, a Texas native, served as the Texans’ associate head coach and defensive coordinator.

In 2005, the 63-year-old was named AP Coach of the Year.

His hiring comes after the Texans fired former head coach David Culley last month after just one season.

Smith’s hiring also comes after the Miami Dolphins fired former head coach Brian Flores. Flores, 40, is now suing the league and three teams for racist practices in hiring.

According to ESPN, the Texans interviewed Flores and five other candidates in addition to Smith for the job.

Smith and Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin are now the only two Black head coaches currently in the league.
