Remember when Joe Burrow called Tee Higgins about buying a Batmobile on Hard Knocks? That wasn’t just some random flex. Burrow knew exactly who he was dialing. If anyone was going to appreciate copping a ridiculous whip, it was Higgins. JB’s guy, who’s had a thing for cars since he was barely tall enough to see over a steering wheel. “I’d wear that b—- to the club,” Higgins even joked during that convo. And now? He’s putting that love into motion.
Tee just announced his first major event, and it’s as he knows it. So, he posted the good news on his Instagram story: “First Annual Harp & Higgs Celebrity Car Show. June 22nd. Free for everyone who pulls up. Doors open at 10 AM!”
Tee will be hosting the car show in Knoxville, Tennessee, along with Devin Harper and Thomas Harper. So, did you get the Harp and Higgs name? Yup, they got that one spot on with the pun-intended vibe. It’s shaping up to be a full day of cars, music, games, food trucks, and some heavy NFL star power. And yes — it’s totally free for all kids.
This isn’t a sudden pivot either. Cars have been part of Tee’s story long before NFL checks and Batmobile jokes. As a kid, Hot Wheels were practically currency in the Higgins household. His mom used to reward him with new cars after football games. Fast forward: Tee even partnered with Hot Wheels to donate $5,000 worth of toys to a Boys & Girls Club.

And if you’ve followed Higgins off the field, you know the man’s got taste. After landing his last big contract, he and Ja’Marr Chase cruised around in luxury supercars
So, if you’re anywhere near Knoxville on June 22nd, you know what to do. Pull up… And a nugget for you: Just don’t get surprised if someone rolls up looking suspiciously like Batman. You know who it is now.
But Joe Burrow doesn’t need a Batman storyline to have his flowers
You know how Joe Burrow doesn’t need to wear a cape to make an entrance? Well, Cincinnati’s new guard Dylan Fairchild just found that out the cool way. Fresh off getting picked 81st overall, Fairchild didn’t even have time to unpack before he got a text from the Bengals’ franchise QB. “He texted me,” Fairchild shared, lighting up like a kid meeting his idol. “It was awesome. Yeah. He just let me know if I need anything, to let him know that he’s excited to work.”
Imagine getting that text. Burrow’s already treating him like family, and the man hasn’t even put the stripes on yet. Now, for the Who Dey, if you’re wondering what Fairchild’s bringing to the table — it’s simple. Power. Versatility. 6-foot-5, 318 pounds of SEC-forged muscle ready to jump into the Bengals’ long-running game of musical chairs at guard.
Cincy hasn’t exactly had those spots on lockdown lately, and Fairchild’s about to throw himself right into that scrum. He mostly handled left guard duties at Georgia and didn’t just hold his own — he dominated. Second-team All-American, second-team All-SEC in 2024. Yeah, this isn’t just some practice squad guy.
But the good thing is: Fairchild’s talking like a guy who already gets the assignment at Paycor Stadium. “Yeah, just meet these guys, you know, put faces with names and just kind of admire and sit back and take pieces from everybody’s brain,” he said, sounding like a rookie who’s ready to learn, not just play.
And sure, Burrow could roll up to training camp in a Batmobile if he wanted. But honestly? He doesn’t need to cosplay as Gotham’s savior to win guys over. One text, a little bit of respect, and that signature Joe Cool confidence — that’s all it takes. No mask required.
