While Peyton and Eli Manning dominated most of the NFL brother talk for years, Jason and Travis Kelce are coming for their throne lately.

People are mad at Brittany Mahomes. Now, there's nothing particularly strange about that — I mean, it has happened a lot over the years — but what's notable today is who is mad at her and why.

My resume speaks for itself, too. Ain’t a one-way thing, man.'' Did MVS help the Packers and the Chiefs? Of course he did. He was, however, a Chiefs role player, with - for instance, in 2023, 21 catches for 315 yards and one TD... So when he said, "I put up some big numbers with these guys,'' that's a Kansas City inflation of the facts. (And we won't even get into...

“At first,” says Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker in an interview with EWTN, “it pushed me away. I was like…ah this is just, this is just not me.

You can disagree without going crazy. And if Maher, an outspoken atheist and critic of organized religion, can shrug this off, so can everyone else. The...
