Patrick Mahomes snagged his second regular season MVP and Super Bowl MVP in a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He passed for 182 yards, three touchdowns and had another 44 rushing yards with no turnovers (was 13-of-14 in the second half, where the lone incompletion was a throw-away), all on a high ankle sprain. The Kansas City Chiefs QB became the fourth QB in league history to win two Super Bowls and two regular season MVPs, joining Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Joe Montana.

Former Patriots running back Stevan Ridley, 34, was arrested early Sunday morning due to disorderly conduct at a nightclub in his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi.
Ridley played in the NFL from 2011 to 2018. He was arrested and charged with “misdemeanor disorderly conduct,” first reported by The Natchez Democrat. He was arrested at 1 a.m. and later released on $750 bail, per Adams County Sheriff’s Office records.

The Philadelphia fan appears to be no fan of referees in any sport.
One of Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s favorite pastimes—aside from leading Cleveland’s recent renaissance—is yelling at referees.
For instance, during the team’s 115–114 loss to the Grizzlies on Jan. 18, an official asked Bickerstaff to stop yelling. He replied, “Every time I see you I’m gonna yell at you.”
Monday afternoon, Bickerstaff demonstrated that his contempt for the officiating profession was not limited to basketball.

Jalen Hurts made history for the most rushing touchdowns (3) and rushing yards (70) for a quarterback in a Super Bowl. He was also the regular season MVP favorite until his shoulder injury, which paved the way for Patrick Mahomes to pick up his second award and ultimately the Super Bowl LVII MVP. Despite the Eagles struggles against caliber QBs, is awarding Hurts with a big pay day the right move? Nick Wright applauds the young QB for a big performance, then discusses whether to pay him or not, including focusing on bolstering the defensive side of the football.

Curtis Flood was an American professional baseball player and activist. He was a center fielder who played 15 seasons in Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Redlegs, St. Louis Cardinals, and Washington Senators. Flood became one of the pivotal figures in the sport’s labor history when he refused to accept a trade following the 1969 season, ultimately appealing his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although his legal challenge was unsuccessful, it brought about additional solidarity among players as they fought against baseball’s reserve clause and sought free agency.
