Jason Kelce is a heck of a football player. He’s also really good at podcasting, which he proves each week with his brother, Travis Kelce, on their hit show, New Heights. 
But there’s likely nothing he takes more pride in than being a great dad to his three young daughters. 
The Kelce family spent the past weekend in Orlando for the Pro Bowl, and the beloved Philadelphia Eagles center found some time to just be a dad and have some fun with his kids down on the field Sunday.

The Super Bowl is here! In Sin City, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will battle for the coveted Lombardi Trophy! For those of you who still have that fantasy itch that needs to be scratched and are playing in postseason fantasy leagues or daily fantasy formats, here are my Super Bowl player rankings.
At quarterback, I have Patrick Mahomes ranked ahead of Brock Purdy despite the fact that the Niners signal-caller was better during the regular season. Christian McCaffrey isn’t just the best running back in my rankings, but he’s the best option regardless of position.

The Tom Brady—San Francisco 49ers connection was more than just a pipe dream.
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan elaborated on his team’s rumored interest in the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, emphasizing how “serious” he was about the potential move last offseason.
Shanahan considered bringing in Brady because 49ers starter Brock Purdy was working his way back from an injury suffered in last year’s NFC championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite the presence of a first-round draft pick in Trey Lance.

LeBron James had NBA fans in a tizzy after the Los Angeles Lakers‘ recent win over the New York Knicks, when he threw a Knicks towel over his shoulder while walking off the court at Madison Square Garden. 
Fans speculated about the meaning of the move by James, who has been vocal about the Lakers’ struggles to the media and making mysterious posts on social media. 

Mannix: Lakers Should Consider Trading LeBron James

As it turns out, there might just be more than meets the eye to James donning the Knicks towel.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney had been rumored as a top candidate to eventually replace Nick Saban at Alabama for years. The connection was a pretty natural one—the Tigers coach is a native of the Yellowhammer State and a Crimson Tide alumnus, having played wide receiver at the school before serving as an assistant coach there to begin his coaching career.
Swinney became a thorn in the side of his alma mater early in the College Football Playoff era, defeating Alabama in the 2016 and ’18 national championship games.

The San Francisco 49ers were oh so close to signing Tom Brady out of retirement to be their quarterback instead of Brock Purdy. While Purdy somewhat struggled with that news, head coach Kyle Shanahan viewed it as the ultimate compliment to their young quarterback.
Last season, Purdy tore his UCL in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. As he recovered, San Francisco tried to lure Tom Brady into playing one more year with his childhood team.
Shanahan told Pro Football Talk that the franchise was committed to Purdy in the long run.

The NCAA is dead and college football is experiencing more rapid change than at any point in any of our lives. Essentially, the Berlin Wall — the NCAA — has been torn down and unfettered capitalism has arrived in major college sports. In the space of a little over a decade, we have gone from quarterbacks getting suspended for selling their autographs to quarterbacks making millions of dollars a year to play college football.

Shanahan’s previous Super Bowl quests ended in historic collapses. Is the third time the charm for the 49ers coach?
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is universally regarded as one of the great offensive masterminds in the NFL. He’s overseen Robert Griffin III’s mesmerizing Offensive Rookie of the Year season in Washington, Matt Ryan’s MVP campaign with the Atlanta Falcons, and the incredible rise of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, a finalist for this year’s MVP.
All that’s missing is a Super Bowl ring. Shanahan has been close.

Viktor Hovland, the fourth ranked player in the world, decided to withdraw from one of the PGA Tour’s most electric events.
Viktor Hovland has decided to withdraw from the Waste Management Phoenix Open following a poor performance at Pebble Beach.
He tied for 55th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, carding two rounds of even par 72 during the second and third rounds. He shot a 3-under 69 on day one at Spyglass Hill, and thus finished 14 strokes behind winner Wyndham Clark.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I’m anticipating angry emails because I’m writing about pro wrestling, yet I believe this story holds genuine intrigue for several reasons.
