Lakers star LeBron James has been a lot of things throughout his long career. Not only is he a legend on the court, but he has been incredible off it as well with his philanthropic nature. It’s what has made him one of the most popular players in sports history. It’s been awesome to see throughout his career, but James is still going strong. Despite being in year 21 in the NBA, he remains one of the best players in the league today. Somewhat, James hasn’t slowed down by much, and he really is giving Father Time a run for…

The 49ers’ heartbreaking collapse in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV played right into the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game plan, according to one member of their championship roster from the 2019 NFL season. During an interview on Arik Armstead’s “Third and Long podcast,” former Chiefs defensive back and current member of the 49ers’ secondary, Charvarius Ward, revealed that Kansas City’s blueprint for victory centered around forcing San Francisco to rely on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to make plays. Our game plan was to put the ball in Jimmy’s [Garoppolo] hands, I hate to say that,” Ward told…
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney has been a huge topic of conversation over the past couple of weeks. The offensive offsides call that negated the go-ahead touchdown against the Bills was called back thanks to Toney lining up offsides. Both Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reidcondemned the call saying that the refs should have warned Toney about lining up offsides. Toney echoed that sentiment in a recent interview. Toney claims it is the referee’s job to tell a player if he is lined up incorrectly. “Whether it was, an inch, two inches, whatever in front of the ball,…
Following a controversial ending to Week 14’s Kansas City Chiefs versus Buffalo Bills game, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes were quite fired up. Less than a week later, they’re paying the price — literally — for letting their emotions get the best of them. Per a Saturday morning report from Pro Football Talk on X (formerly Twitter), Reid and Mahomes are being fined for “comments critical of officiating” made last Sunday. The thread continues with PFT estimating that fines would be “$25K for Mahomes and $50K or more for Reid,” although those are mere guesses. At the time of the…
When the Kansas City Chiefs registered a 20-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, all-around sloppiness — including dropped passes, turnovers and penalties — once again stalled offensive drives. As the postseason nears, this has become a familiar theme. Matt Nagy admits that these problems — particularly dropped passes — should have been resolved by this point of the season. “It starts with me,” he reiterated to reporters on Thursday, “making sure that I, as an offensive coordinator, make sure that these players know that they’re accountable. Whether that’s in practice getting more catches — [or] whether it’s a…
Charvarius Ward has turned into one of the smarter free agent signings of the San Francisco 49ers. He was given the money based on what he could become rather than a single incredible contract year and boy, did he show up. Before the 49ers was the Kansas City Chiefs, and Ward played on the same Chiefs team that won Super Bowl LIV over the 49ers. On Arik Armstead’s Third and Long, Ward detailed what the Chiefs planned in the championship game that they would come back and win in the 4th quarter. “Gameplan was to put the ball into Jimmy’s…
The Kansas City Chiefs need all the help they can get to finish the season strong, starting with a strong performance in Week 15 against the New England Patriots. Before trying to take down Bill Belichick’s squad on the road, Kansas City is making some slight tweaks along the fringes of its roster picture. Per a Saturday morning announcement from the team, the Chiefs have ruled wide receiver Justyn Ross out. Additionally, linebacker Darius Harris is being waived and safety Deon Bush is signed to the active roster from the practice squad. For possible availability on game day, defensive tackle…
Kansas City Star reporter Jesse Newell and Brett Taveau — longtime high school offensive coordinator and author of Chiefs book “Unpacking Greatness” — examine two passing plays on a late Chiefs three-and-out vs. the Buffalo Bills, including a third-down pass where KC’s receivers were a victim of their own success. BY JESSE NEWELL The Kansas City Chiefs go on the road to face the New England Patriots on Sunday. Here are the details: Having faith in Kansas City’s offense did not pay off in this space last week. And, to be honest, a lot of the recent struggles for the…
The Kansas City Chiefs have lost three of their last four in the NFL and are now without one of their top players against the New England Patriots this weekend. Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco remains out of the team’s Week 15 game against the New England Patriots after undergoing shoulder surgery. Pacheco, 24, missed last week’s 20-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills and is still on the sidelines. The issue is with the same shoulder he already had a previous procedure on during this last offseason. Kansas City’s leading rusher has not played since being ejected late…
