A woman is going viral with the claim she ruined Johnny Manziel’s football career.
Manziel was cut after two disappointing seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and never played another snap of NFL football again. There are a lot of reasons why his career didn’t pan out, and Heather Kuntz thinks she played a major role.
In a viral TikTok video, Kuntz explained she was with Manziel at a party in 2015. Photos surfaced that incorrectly claimed she was kissing him on the cheek, and the New York Post shined a massive spotlight on the small gathering in Texas.

This doesn’t seem fun.
The Chiefs are on a road trip this week in Arizona where they are preparing to take on the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. 
You think things would be nice and easy for Patrick Mahomes and Co. in the days leading up to their championship showdown, but they are dealing with something extremely relatable: an annoying commute to work each day. 
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer is in Arizona for Super Bowl week and provided a nugget about Kansas City’s bus rides:

I found this interesting, too—the Chiefs have to bus twice to get to practice.

Terry Bradshaw shed some light on Sean Payton’s NFL coaching choice and Cardinals fans might find his comment about Kyler Murray interesting.

From regular hospital visits to countless BBQ meals, the All-Pro defensive lineman has become a force of good in K.C.
Pick any Monday. A little after the time the Chiefs finish up at the facility for the day, you can expect Chris Jones to arrive at Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que, an iconic barbecue spot on 47th Avenue, quaintly boxed inside a facility that is also a gas station and a liquor store.
He orders the burnt ends along with a Z Man sandwich, which normally contains smoked beef brisket, smoked provolone cheese and a pair of onion rings on a toasted kaiser.

The defending champions added a pair of stars, including Candace Parker, to the roster this offseason.

They really couldn’t find some LeBrons in their closet?
LeBron James’ mission to set the NBA’s all-time scoring mark was 20 years in the making, and it finally happened on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder beat the Lakers, 133-130, but no one is going to remember that. Instead, the night was a celebration of James’ legendary career. He broke the record on a picture-perfect fadeaway late in the third quarter, and the game was immediately paused to recognize the moment.

There is not a shot clock in Oklahoma high school basketball games, and two schools took full advantage of the idiotic omission on Tuesday night.

Weatherford was the first team to score on Tuesday night, and its 2-0 advantage held all the way up until halftime. Anadarko simply held the ball up until halftime.
Yes, the score at halftime was 2-0. In a basketball game.

There are numerous stories around the Super Bowl about perseverance and achieving life long dreams. For Kansas City RG Trey Smith, he has gone from overcoming the odds at Tennessee, to working Super Bowl LIV, and now playing for an opportunity to win his first ring.
For Smith, his time playing at Tennessee was filled with a few road blocks on his path to playing in the NFL. These road blocks had nothing to do with his play on the field, it stemmed from blood clots that were found during winter workouts in 2018.

This is a must-watch moment.
LeBron James breaking the NBA scoring record with the Lakers on Tuesday night had a more profound reach that anyone possibly imagined. It turned into a moment of healing between two Lakers legends, as Shaquille O’Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar squashed their long-standing beef.
