Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback who established himself over more than two decades as the NFL's most prolific winner and arguably its greatest player, announced Wednesday that he is retiring. This time, he said, he will not change his mind. "I'll get to the point right away: I'm retiring, for good," Brady said in a 53-second video posted to social media. "I know the process was a pretty big deal last time. So when I woke up this morning, I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first. So I won't be long-winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year." Brady, 45, won seven Super Bowls over his 23 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw apparently forgot what he spent 2020 doing
Rep. Dan Crenshaw definitely tuned into the Super Bowl last night , and like any good American, offered his personal commentary on Twitter. Except it was never really about the game. Crenshaw, like any good American who doesn't care about football, paid far more attention to the commercials. But apparently, the congressman didn't think the ads were up to snuff this year. THANKS, TOM BRADY: 'Mattress Mack' wins $3.46 million on Super Bowl bet "These commercials are proof that celebrities had a lot of free time this year," Crenshaw tweeted out. These commercials are proof that celebrities had a lot of free time this year. — Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) February 8, 2021 Firstly, we've all had a lot of free time this year.

Chiefs’ Mahomes ready for AFC title game against Bengals
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes finished a full week of practice on his ailing right ankle Friday, and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid pronounced his All-Pro quarterback ready to go for the AFC championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mahomes sustained a high ankle sprain in the first quarter of last week's divisional-round win over Jacksonville, returning after halftime to polish off the victory. That sent the Chiefs to their fifth consecutive AFC championship game, where they will face the AFC North champions on Sunday night in a rematch of last year's overtime loss to the Bengals. “He looks good,” Reid said. “I mean, he’s moving around good. He’s going to go out and play.” Mahomes has had perhaps his best season, throwing for a career-high 5,250 yards with a league-leading 41 touchdown passes, and garnered 49 of 50 first-place … [Read more...] about Chiefs’ Mahomes ready for AFC title game against Bengals
QBs Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes to make NFL history in Super Bowl
There are no shortage of Texas connections in Super Bowl LVII, and there's no better place to start than the quarterback position. The Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts and Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes are both former Texas high school football standouts. Hurts, a Houston native, played for his father at Channelview. Mahomes starred at Whitehouse, located just outside of Tyler, before taking his talents to Texas Tech. Mahomes is no stranger to the Super Bowl stage—he won MVP honors for his role in the Chiefs' victory in the 2019 championship, with Kansas City coming up short against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the following year's title game. Hurts, meanwhile, is set join Mahomes as one of the youngest players in NFL history to make their Super Bowl debut. At 24 years, six months, five days, he is set to be the seventh-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl, and would be the fourth-youngest to hoist the Lombardi Trophy if the Eagles are able to pull … [Read more...] about QBs Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes to make NFL history in Super Bowl

Lewis Hamilton has reportedly been offered a £60 million per season extension to his current Mercedes deal which expires at the end of 2023. The extension of Hamilton seems like a matter of when rather than if with both the driver and team principal Toto Wolff saying they would like the relationship to continue.
