Remember former Denver Bronco (and Cardinals) QB Jake Plummer? Well, apparently he’s now a mushroom farmer in Colorado and I gotta tell ya, he’s NAILED the part.
Plummer reemerged out of nowhere last summer when his new passion went semi-viral – more on the ‘shrooms in a bit – and he made another cameo Wednesday at radio row ahead of the Super Bowl.
Well, at least I think it was Jake the Snake!

The Chiefs’ coach on cheeseburgers, rappers, having energy for a chubby guy and more.
1. I told you in yesterday’s Traina Thoughts that I hate Super Bowl week. However, there has been one shining light in the darkness: Andy Reid.
The lovable head coach of the Chiefs has been a breath of fresh air during his interviews this week.
He has said his three keys to life are “rock the Tommy Bahama, eat some cheeseburgers and be happy.”

He’s broken down the keys to a great cheeseburger. (He is so right about the bun.)

He revealed how he functions each day as a noncoffee drinker.

The ball went straight up!
There are plenty of amazing highlights this season. Andre Drummond’s Euro step on Tuesday night was not one of them.

Drummond followed a quite frankly beautiful steal, with one of the saddest finishes I have ever seen in the NBA. A missed dunk is one thing, a trip is another — but slowly executing a Euro step before lofting the ball straight up, touching it and getting hit with a foul is another entirely.
I don’t even know what arc he was going for with this shot, or how it came out like this.

Jalen Hurts was one of the NFL’s best players throughout this season. He also has swagger, but he has earned it. According to his teammates, no one works harder.

Anthony Davis had the best seat in the house when NBA history was made Tuesday night.
The entire basketball world was tuned into witness the Los Angeles Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Everyone wanted to see history made, with LeBron James needing to score 36 points to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabaar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader.
With all eyes fixated on James in the third quarter, he caught a pass, did a turnaround jumper and nailed the two-pointer to cement himself into basketball history.

Legendary moment. Congratulations brother! 38390 @KingJames pic.twitter.
