data-mm-id=”_iio65cowg”>The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are set to face off in Super Bowl LIV, as both teams cruised to wins in their respective conference championship games. This two teams create one heck of a matchup, which should be a blast to watch. What follows are five bold predictions for the big game.Patrick Mahomes will be the story of the gameWe all know the Chiefs will rise or fall in the big game based on how Patrick Mahomes plays. If he's at his best, he's unstoppable and could even beat the 49ers' ridiculous defense. But if he gets rattled and plays poorly, the Chiefs will almost certainly go down. If the Chiefs win, everyone will rave about Mahomes and how he's the next all-time great. If they lose, the narrative will be that the 24-ye…

data-mm-id=”_o9mx2c7tt”>Patrick Mahomes just won his first Super Bowl at the age of 24. The same age as Tom Brady when he won his first. Mahomes is now just eight Super Bowl appearances behind Brady for the most all-time. Can he possibly catch him? Could Patrick Mahomes really play in a decade's worth of Super Bowls? No. Even if he is the greatest ever, no one will ever catch Brady in this category. Mahomes is more likely to play Major League Baseball than appear in 10 Super Bowls. Probably because there's a chance he plays in so many Super Bowls that he decides to play Major League Baseball. Here are some other reasons.Coaching Patrick Mahomes was lucky enough to fall to a good team in the draft and start his professional career with a Hall of Fame coach. Just like Tom Brady…

data-mm-id=”_bsznpiww4″>Everyone has been saying the 2020 NFL Draft starts with the Lions' pick at No. 3. That's because the Bengals are widely expected to pick Heisman winner Joe Burrow No. 1 and the Redskins are projected to pick Ohio State All-American Chase Young at No. 2. Whether you believe it's true or a smokescreen, Ian Rapoport threw a wrench into that idea when he said the Redskins have started receiving calls from teams that want to trade up. If that happened, it would completely alter the draft as whoever moves up to No. 2 is presumably doing so in order to select their QB of the future. Or perhaps they see what everyone else does– that Young has the pedigree of a generational pass rusher. Either way, it would set off an avalanche of moves that would alter t…

Nobody is very happy about it, but the group of people having the most difficult time dealing with this situation are involved with the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program. Following the B1G decision, Nebraska chancellor Ronnie Green, president Ted Carter, AD Bill Moos and head coach Scott Frost issued a statement saying they were disappointed and planning to find a way to compete. Basically, Nebraska has gone rogue. Or at least they're trying to go rogue because without football, nobody is going to make money.Scott Frost says #Nebraska estimates $80-120 million hit if there's no football season. "The biggest factor is if we don't play football, we're not going to …

data-mm-id=”_ye4c15f25″>The Players Tribune published an absolutely amazing article today by God Shammgod. The NYC playground legend and current Dallas Mavericks' player development coach was able to jam so many tasty content nuggets into one article that I'm suddenly wondering who is working on his biography. You really must visit TPT to read the whole thing, but I'll just grab one little piece to share here in the interest of mixing sports and pop culture. This is about how Shammgod first got into basketball as a nine-year-old. When he moved to Harlem, all he wanted to do was fight because that's what kids did in Brooklyn, but like all players, he was introduced to the sport by someone. Unlike most people, he was introduced to basketball by Mase. “The first kid I …

The critical reception, including from The Big Stream, a lightly listened-to podcast, has been overwhelming positive as everyone tends to agree the stuck the landing even if they didn't try one last death-defying trick or twist. It was also, unsurprisingly, a success in the ratings department. More Articles About Succession:…

data-mm-id=”_wdml5yxou”>The Las Vegas Raiders were on the receiving end of a thorough beatdown at the hands of the Buffalo Bills today in Western New York. The Bills went up multiple scores early and did not let up as it seems everyone on the team worked to excise the demons lingering from their Week 1 meltdown loss to Zach Wilson. Things only got worse for Vegas when Jimmy Garoppolo targeted Davante Adams on a deep post route late in the fourth quarter and the All-Pro receiver got obliterated on a helmet-to-helmet hit. Here's video of the hit. A flag was thrown and Adams left the game and was quickly taken to the locker room.
