The brothers are both playing on championship Sunday for the first time.
With the Eagles and Chiefs playing on Sunday, it will be the first time that both Kelce brothers are playing in championship games on the same day. As a result, the Kelce parents had to make a decision about which game to attend.
Last weekend, the Kelces attended Kansas City’s game against Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon to watch Travis, but couldn’t make it to the Eagles-Giants game since that was played on Saturday night. So, this week the Kelces will be in Philadelphia to watch Jason.

The Chiefs, Bengals, Eagles and 49ers have all played in the Super Bowl within the past five seasons, managing to stay above the parity the NFL tries to maintain.

Retirement is being kind to Rob Gronkowski and anyone thinking he’s headed back to the NFL next season will probably be disappointed because he’s really enjoying his life right now.
“Yes I am, man, it’s going really well,” Gronkowski told OutKick this week. “I love staying busy. I love doing activities. Pickleball is a new type of activity/sport that I’ve picked up. It’s a lot of fun. Keeps me in shape. It keeps me going. Keeps my motivated.
“And I’m also doing the FOX stuff, the analyst stuff with FOX has been a wonderful pleasure as well.

The cornerback was asked about a potential trade for the quarterback.
The Jets‘ decision to hire Nathaniel Hackett as their new offensive coordinator has ignited the discussion that the Jets are interested in trading for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The quarterback’s connection to Hackett is well-documented, and his future in Green Bay is in doubt heading into the offseason.
On Thursday, a Jets player spoke for the first time publicly about the rumors.

For the first time since the team announced the hire, the interim coach spoke about his feelings on the situation.
For the first time since the Panthers announced the hiring of Frank Reich as the franchise’s new head coach on Thursday, 2022 interim coach Steve Wilks released a statement on the decision. 
Though he expressed his disappointment in not landing the full-time job, Wilks admitted that he will always remain a fan of the team.
“The sun rose this morning and by the grace of God so did I. I’m disappointed by not defeated,” Wilks wrote in a note posted to Twitter.

Our experts provide their favorite bets and player props for the NFC and AFC championship games.
Heading into championship weekend, we find four closely matched teams that have a combined record of 59-14 this season.
In the NFC, bettors encounter a Philadelphia squad that is 8-2 straight up (SU) and 7-3 against the spread (ATS) at Lincoln Financial Field hosting a 49ers club that is 12-0 SU and 10-2 (ATS) since Week 8.
Since Sunday, the Eagles, who opened as 1.5-point home favorites, have grown to a 2.5-point demand, while the game total has ticked up from 45.5 to 46.

“If you throw the ball to me 100 times, I’m going to want it 101 times,” Eagles receiver A.J. Brown said. Devonta Smith has the same attitude, and it’s part of why both are great.

Shaquille O’ Neal… he’s just like us.
Yes, the star NBA Hall of Famer admittedly letting us all know that even though he has spent the majority of his life either playing or covering basketball, that he barely knows who any of the players are.
O’Neal was speaking on NBA on TNT‘s postgame show when he made the comments in reference to saying he didn’t know who newly acquired Lakers forward Rui Hachimura was.
“Albert Einstein said things you can get access to you should never memorize,” O’ Neal said.

No rules, just right.
It was international night at Southern Mississippi University on Thursday night, and among the celebration of nations on the court was one student who didn’t so much represent a nation, as much as a way of life.

As an Australian expat, I have a complicated relationship with Outback Steakhouse. On the one hand their menu is borderline offensive.

The veteran running back’s pass-protection work has never been more important than it is right now. In light of that, we asked a real-life bodyguard to size up McKinnon’s body of work.
A hobbled Patrick Mahomes took the snap in shotgun. He stepped up in the pocket, shuffled to his left and spotted Foyesade Oluokun, a 230-pound free-running blitzer who had a clean shot at him.
Mahomes bent down into a semisquat, coiling himself in preparation for contact that never came.
