Because I put myself in that position.”“Man, money is a crazy thing for a lot of people. At the end of the day, the truth always comes out, right?

When I used to play in Kansas City, bro, it was always ‘F**k the Bills.’ Every time we played against them. And we f**ked them up every time. In Miami, it’s the same thing, but 10 times harder. It’s f**k the Bills all day. All they want to do is jump through tables, because they’ve got f**king CTE. Stupid-a** fans. Their fans are stupid as hell,” Hill commented.Also read: “I need 2k this year”: Tyreek Hill channels alpha energy with bold statement ahead of 2025 seasonHill’s comments have drawn sharp reactions across the league, with fans and analysts split over whether his passion crossed the line.
