Patrick Mahomes, like nearly every other “verified” person who has a Twitter account, witnessed his blue check disappear on Thursday.

Star wide receiver A..J Brown didn’t hide his stance on the possibility of adding Henry to the mix, taking to Twitter to express his support over the move.
“Nobody has #22. Make it happen if it’s possible,” wrote Brown on Twitter.

Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega featured one of the more terrifying crashes you’ll see.

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU football coach Brian Kelly did not need the new NCAA rules passed Friday for the 2023 season to shorten his spring game Saturday.
The third and fourth quarters were cut from 15 to 10 minutes, and there was a running clock the whole game. This cut the the scrimmage to one hour and 15 minutes, which is about three hours less than a normal game. It was also a fraction of your usual fall tailgating session in these parts.

Despite gaining a 12–9 lead from the big touchdown in the second quarter, the Guardians found themselves trailing late, 53–28.
