Another Chiefs game, another chance for magic from Patrick Mahomes
Every game, Patrick Mahomes finds a way to do something special.
His touchdown pass to Travis Kelce early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans is the latest example.
With the Kansas City Chiefs holding a slim one-point lead — and the box score showing that Houston should be winning the game — Mahomes and the Kansas City offense faced a third-and-goal situation. With the football at the Houston 11-yard line, a touchdown was no sure thing.

Patrick Mahomes drew a couple of controversial calls against Houston.

Dick Vitale was expected to make a long-awaited return to the college basketball booth a week from today. Unfortunately, we will have to wait even longer for that to happen.
On Friday, ESPN announced that Vitale would be back in the booth for the Duke Blue Devils’ game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on January 25th. He had just beaten vocal cord cancer and was allowed to make his return to action (he had not called a game since 2023). However, he’s hit a major setback just a day after getting the good news.

American tennis star Danielle Collins has had a bit of a heel turn Down Under at the Australian Open, but she says some of the attention she got from egging on booing fans has led to sponsorship offers.
Collins is the No. 11 player in the world, and she heard it from the crowd all night during her match with Australia’s Destanee Aiava.
After she locked up the win, Collins went back at the crowd, and honestly, it was entertaining as hell.
They gave it to her, she gave it back to them. Seems fair.

Rugby is one of those sports that can be so brutal when I see it, I sometimes think to myself, “Man, someone should probably put a stop to this.”
It takes a rare breed to play that sport at the highest level, and rugby superstar Ilona Maher showed off some hockey guy-level toughness when she gave her millions of social media followers a look at the broken nose she suffered during the match.
If you don’t know who Ilona Maher is, she’s the star of the United States rugby team that won a shock bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Before you had a chance to get comfy on your couch for the Houston Texans matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, we had major drama unfold.
The Texans traveled to Arrowhead Stadium looking to do two things: secure their first berth in the AFC Championship Game in franchise history, and hand the Chiefs their first loss in the Divisional Round in the Patrick Mahomes era. But that mission got off to a rocky start.
Houston won the coin toss and deferred, then Kansas City return man Nikko Remigio took the opening kick 63 yards (he also fumbled the ball, but the Chiefs recovered).

Sarkisian’s new deal with the Longhorns reportedly adds a year to his contract and adds a raise to an already lucrative salary.

Jimmy Butler reportedly ‘hasn’t even really started’ creating drama with the Heat, so let’s rank his funniest trade demand escalation options.
I haven’t started a lot of things. The dishes, my debut novel. Sometimes, life gets in the way of starting that next thing that will define who you are, and who you can be. And apparently, Jimmy Butler hasn’t started… something… either.
