Patrick Mahomes on a ‘Revenge Tour’ After Super Bowl Loss – NFL Rivals Beware!

Charles Omenihu believes Mahomes will be ‘on a mission’ to get back to ‘Big Game’ again

The Kansas City Chiefs were unable to make NFL history earlier this month, as they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, 40-22.

It was a game where quarterback Patrick Mahomes was uncharacteristically off, and a lot of that had to do with the Eagles constantly creating pressure in the pocket. Still, throwing multiple interceptions and missing some open players was very much unlike Mahomes – pressure in the pocket or not.

So, as Mahomes and the Chiefs head into the 2025 offseason, one teammate knows that a “revenge tour” is brewing for the two-time MVP signal caller.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu, who has a ring thanks to his performance in Super Bowl LVIII, made an appearance on “Up & Adams,” where he responded to host Kay Adams’ question about where Mahomes will be in the next 10 months.

“On a revenge tour,” Omenihu responded. “Just extreme focus, taking even more control of the organization. We’re going to get my boy Rashee [Rice] back, so that’s going to be great with how [Xavier Worthy] has been playing. Hopefully, we’ll be able to figure out the rest of the pieces.”

Rashee Rice, who suffered a season-ending injury early in the 2024 season, could be facing suspension due to eight felony charges he faces from a six-car crash in Dallas that he partly caused. The NFL is waiting for the legal process to play out.

However, Mahomes and the Chiefs have to love what they saw from rookie first-rounder Xavier Worthy, who got better by the week and made a major impact on the way to another Super Bowl appearance.

Kansas City will continue to build around Mahomes, but Omenihu knows his teammate is likely still kicking himself after what transpired at the Caesars Superdome.

“He probably felt like he didn’t have his best performance, and him being who he is and being the best quarterback in the league, he wants to come back and have one of those big seasons,” Omenihu said.

“So, I think it’ll be somebody that’s on a mission for sure.”

Mahomes finished the Super Bowl with 257 yards passing with three touchdowns and two interceptions, though most of those yards came in the fourth quarter during a comeback attempt that was too little, too late.

For the 2024 regular season, Mahomes did not have his usual production, failing to reach 4,000 yards passing for the first time since becoming the full-time starter in Kansas City. Still, he passed for 3,928 yards and 26 touchdowns with 11 interceptions, and went 15-1 in those starts.

Joel Embiid Shocks Fans with Honest Admission: ‘I’m Not as Dominant’ – Is This the End of His Reign?

Joel Embiid said he’s hoping for the best as he continues to play through a left knee injury following the 76ers’ 124-104 loss to the Celtics on Thursday night.

The Sixers’ big man, who’s also dealing with a foot sprain, explained that he’s finding ways to impact the game while trying to get back to his “dominant self.”

“The way I was playing a year ago is not the way I’m playing right now,” Embiid, 30, said when asked about his knee after the loss at home. “And It sucks, but I believe … I probably need to fix the problem and then I’ll be back at that level. But it’s hard to have trust when you’re not yourself.

“I’m not as dominant as I was a couple of months ago, but that doesn’t mean I still can’t have a lot of impact on the game Just me being out there, I think, helps a lot. You know, just my presence, my ability to attract double-teams, getting guys more shots.

“But my dominant self, I’ll get there. It’s just tough because you know you can do so much more but no excuses, that’s just the way it is. I just gotta keep finding ways to figure it out and get better.”

Embiid, who had more than a week off during the NBA All-Star break, didn’t look like himself Thursday.

He finished with 15 points on 3-for-9 shooting from the field in 27 minutes. He added four assists and three rebounds.

“I’m OK,” Embiid said, per ESPN, adding that the break helped “a little bit” in his recovery. “Still managing it. Got to keep going and hope for the best.”

The Sixers have been decimated with injuries throughout the first half of the season.

All-Star forward Paul George, who struggled offensively before the break,i s dealing a left finger and groin injuries.

“I’m hanging in there,” said George, who recorded 17 points Thursday. “I’m just trying to give this team everything I have.

George also confirmed a report by ESPN’s Shams Charania that he received pain-killing injections to stay active in recent weeks.

“I’m taking some sorts of medicines to kind of, I guess, play through pain,” he said. “But yeah, I’m going to try to give everything I got.”

Forward Justin Edwards was added to the injury report with a left ankle sprain heading into Thursday’s game — joining Kyle Lowry (right hip injury management), Eric Gordon (right wrist sprain) and Jared McCain (left lateral meniscus surgery) on the sideline.

Earlier this week, All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey (knee contusion) said he was feeling “way better” after resting over the break.

“I got hit the first play of the Toronto game [a 106-103 Sixers loss on Feb. 11] and I couldn’t be as aggressive as I wanted to,” he said. “It was pretty painful for about 48 hours, but I’m good now.”

Philadelphia is in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference and out of the playoff race entering Friday.

“Everybody’s out here and ready to compete tomorrow and throughout the rest of the season,” Maxey said. “Guys are optimistic. At the end of the day, it’s in our hands. If we want to move up in the standings, then we’ve got to go do that as a group collectively.

“It’s going to start with Joel, Paul and myself. And not just scoring, not just on the court, but also mentality-wise — holding ourselves accountable and holding guys accountable.”

The Sixers host the Nets, in the 12th spot with a 20-35 mark, at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday.

Dave Portnoy Drops Bombshell: Blames Patrick Mahomes for Sabotaging His Dad’s Fight with John Rocker!

The fight between Patrick Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker is off.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy broke the news that the ex-MLB stars wouldn’t be going mano-a-mano at “Rough ‘N Rowdy” after Mahomes’ son, Patrick, and his wife, Brittany, got wind of things.

“No, this fight is canceled,” Portnoy said on the “Unnamed Show” on Friday. “Mahomes’ agent — the football player — and Brittany, from what I am told, intervened and said, ‘There’s no way this fight happens; we’re going to cut this guy off if he does it.”

The fight, originally slated for Barstool Sports’ “Rough ‘N Rowdy” boxing show on Apr. 19, gained notoriety when Mahomes Sr., 54, and Rocker, 50, got into a tiff in New Orleans during Super Bowl 2025 week.

In court, Mahomes Sr. told officials that the scuffle was an attempt to build momentum for the bout.

Other than getting the combatants to sign on for the fight, Portnoy denied having anything to do with it.

“They came to us to do this,” he said. “How would we ever come up with this concept, ‘Oh, let’s put up John Rocker versus Pat Mahomes Sr.’? Who would ever think of that? They came to us, said they hated each other wanted to fight.”

Portnoy was thrilled to have an opportunity to troll Mahomes Jr. after learning of the Chiefs quarterback’s disdain for his outlet.

“I know Patty Mahomes the Super Bowl guy, the guy who just got his doors blown off said he hated Barstool,” Portnoy said, annoucing the fight on Feb. 12. “Well, now your dad’s fighting in our company against John Rocker. I’ll save a seat, free of charge. Patty Mahomes and crew, no bad blood, we can make up and watch your dad fight. That’s an open invite. You said you don’t like us, I get your dad to fight Rough N’ Rowdy.”

The fight is now off, leaving the Mahomes clan to deal with some seeming family issues to sort out –Mahomes Sr. has been a headache for the Chiefs superstar quarterback, as his father has had three DUI’s and served jail time in October.

SHOCKING: Elon Musk Under Fire After ‘Vulgar’ Comments About Taylor Swift – Fans Demand His Cancellation!

 

In a shocking announcement, Oprah Winfrey has confirmed that she is leaving the United States and relocating to an undisclosed destination, sparking a flurry of speculation about where the media mogul might be headed next

Oprah, who has been a staple of American media for decades, revealed in a statement that she has decided to step away from her long-time residence and business operations in the United States to explore new opportunities abroad. The decision has left fans, followers, and media experts scrambling for answers as to where the billionaire philanthropist might go next.

While Oprah has not provided specific details on her next destination, her close associates indicate that she is looking for a more peaceful, private life away from the intense scrutiny of the American spotlight. Her statement read, “After much thought, I feel it’s time for me to embark on a new chapter in my life, one that allows for more personal growth and reflection.”

Given Oprah’s high profile and influence, speculation about her next move has quickly gained momentum. Some sources point to Canada as a potential destination, citing the country’s more peaceful atmosphere and its reputation for offering privacy. Others have suggested that Oprah might be eyeing Europe, particularly Switzerland or the United Kingdom, where she has frequently visited in the past for business and personal retreats.

There are also rumors that Oprah may choose to relocate to New Zealand or Australia, regions known for their natural beauty and slower pace of life. Australia’s thriving wellness scene could be a significant pull for someone like Oprah, who has long been an advocate for health and mindfulness.

Oprah’s departure from the US marks a significant shift in her life. The former talk-show host, media mogul, and philanthropist has often been associated with her empowering presence in the American media landscape. Her decision to leave the U.S. could be a response to growing pressures surrounding her public persona, with some speculating that she is seeking a quieter, more reflective life away from public scrutiny.

This move comes on the heels of Oprah’s recent shifts in her business ventures, which included scaling back on her traditional media appearances and moving more into digital and streaming content. Some believe this is part of her broader effort to focus on self-discovery and personal freedom.

No matter where Oprah chooses to go, there is no denying the impact she has had on American culture and global media. Her long-running talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, defined a generation, and her influence extends far beyond television, as a philanthropist, author, and entrepreneur.

As speculation grows about her future plans, fans of the media icon are wondering whether this relocation signals a shift away from her public career or simply the start of a new chapter. Whatever the case, Oprah’s next move will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the media world.

Emma Raducanu was left visibly shaken during her match against Karolina Muchova.

Emma Raducanu’s former coach Roman Kelecic has opened up on the frightening moment she noticed a ‘stalker’ in the crowd at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

The young Brit was visibly distressed during her second-round match against Karolina Muchova on Tuesday. She appeared to break down in tears and even took refuge behind the umpire’s chair as she sobbed.

It later transpired that a man who had approached Raducanu a day earlier was seated in the first few rows. The WTA said the man ‘exhibited fixated behaviour’ and was ejected from the match as well as being banned from future events.

Kelecic, who was in attendance in Dubai, has since claimed that pictures of the man were circulated to event organisers before the match.

“Three or four hours before the match we have a photo of that stalker,” he told i. “Not only us, the entire security at the tournament has his photo and everyone knows who he is.

“The first game, two points gone, 15-15, Emma is on the other side of the court and she’s showing us something. At that moment we didn’t know what it was. Emma loses the first game and runs to us, crying, shouting: ‘Here he is, here he is, here he is’.”

Express Sport has approached the WTA for comment.

After being ejected from the court, the man was arrested by police in Dubai but Raducanu dropped the charges after he ‘signed a formal undertaking to maintain distance from her’.

In a statement, the Government of Dubai Media Office explained: “Dubai authorities have taken swift action to address an incident involving British tennis star Emma Raducanu, in accordance with local legal protocols.

“Following Raducanu’s complaint, Dubai Police detained a tourist who approached her, left her a note, took her photograph, and engaged in behaviour that caused her distress during the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

“While Raducanu later chose to drop the charges, the individual signed a formal undertaking to maintain distance from her and has been banned from future tournaments.”

Raducanu addressed the incident on social media following her match against Muchova, thanking her opponent for ‘being a great sport’ and wishing her luck for the rest of the tournament.

On Instagram, she wrote: “Thank you for the messages of support. Difficult experience yesterday [Tuesday] but I’ll be okay and proud of how I came back and competed despite what happened at the start of the match.

“Thank you to Karolina for being a great sport and best of luck to her for the rest of the tournament.”

Jack Draper defeated Matteo Berrettini in his Qatar Open quarter-final.

Jack Draper will leave the Qatar Open with a morale-boosting sweetener regardless of how his semi-final goes on Friday.

The Brit booked his spot in the last four with a spirited comeback win over Matteo Berrettini in Doha. Berrettini toppled Novak Djokovic earlier this week and he took the first set off Draper with an exhibition of big serving.

But the 23-year-old came roaring back to win 4-6 6-4 6-3 and set up a semi with Jiri Lehecka. Draper’s deep run guarantees that he will reach a career-high ATP ranking once the scores are settled.

Currently ranked 15th, he is projected to sit 14th if he crashes out in the semi-finals, 12th if he reaches the final and 11th with an overall victory. Draper continues to surge up the pecking order and threaten in big tournaments.

He broke his duck last year by winning his first ATP Tour title at the Stuttgart Open in June. Four months later he added a second, upgrading to an ATP 500 accolade at the Vienna Open.

He is now only two wins away from another ATP 500 title, and he may fancy his chances given the way the tournament has panned out.

Heavyweight players have been dropping like flies all week. Top seed Carlos Alcaraz was the latest to fall, losing in three sets to Lehecka on the same Thursday that saw Daniil Medvedev retire and Alex de Minaur beaten.

As a result, Draper is the second-highest seed left in the competition behind Andrey Rublev. But the Briton refuses to take Lehecka lightly following his upset win over Alcaraz.

“Jiri is obviously having a great start to the season,” he said. “As incredible a champion as Carlos is, there are so many great players in this draw. Jiri being one of them.

“He’s confident. He’s playing well. Anything can happen at this level. The margins are so small. It’s going to be a great match tomorrow. Hopefully I can get through.”

Berrettini gave Draper his toughest test of the tournament after one-sided wins over Alexei Popyrin and Christopher O’Connell in the first two rounds. But there is no doubt the towering Londoner is on the charge after reaching the US Open semi-finals at the back end of last season and the Australian Open fourth round last month.

Novak Djokovic denied dealing with any injuries following his surprise Qatar Open loss but now he has been spotted limping at the Doha Airport.

During the Australian Open, the 37-year-old sustained a hamstring tear, which forced him to retire after only one set played in his semifinal against Alexander Zverev.

Last week, the Serb confirmed he was healthy and would return to action in Doha this week.

And Djokovic did make his comeback at the Qatar Open but it wasn’t impressive after Matteo Berrettini upset him 7-6 (4) 6-2 in the first round.

The former world No. 1 also played in doubles with Fernando Verdasco – they won their opening match before losing in the quarterfinal.

Now, Spanish publication AS posted a video in which the record 24-time Grand Slam champion can be seen leaving Qatar in limps.

Djokovic insisted he was physically fine

Going into the match, the Serb had four wins and zero losses against Berrettini.

But after not playing his best tennis and losing to the Italian, the 37-year-old shrugged off any injury concerns.

Instead, Djokovic said he simply didn’t play well and Berrettini made the most out of that.

“I didn’t have any pain or discomfort in that sense. I was outplayed by just a better player today,” the world No. 7 said after the loss.

“Yes, I wasn’t at my desired level, and it could be that I’m still not moving the way I want to move, but, I mean, I played without pain, so there is no excuse in that.

“He was just the better player. I think he played a masterclass match, to be honest, tactically, and served very well, so just a very deserved win from his side.”

Djokovic’s next scheduled tournament is the Indian Wells Masters, which starts on March 5th.

DA warns Chilean gang burglaries spreading across US, calls it Washington’s ‘biggest secret’

Migrants charged in high-profile thefts from NFL stars Joe Burrow, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer is calling for Chile to be removed from a U.S. visa waiver program, arguing Chilean migrants have been exploiting the system to commit organized burglaries across the country.

Spitzer alleges federal agencies, including the FBI, Department of Justice, Homeland Security and the State Department, have long been aware of the issue but have failed to act.

“This is the biggest secret in Washington that no one seems to want to do anything about,” the California DA told “Fox & Friends,” Thursday.

His remarks follow the recent indictment of seven Chilean nationals accused of carrying out high-profile burglaries targeting professional athletes, including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Prosecutors say the suspects, who entered the U.S. under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program, stole over $2 million in valuables such as jewelry, watches, cash, and other luxury items.

Spitzer told “Fox & Friends” he briefed the FBI on the threat the gangs posed nearly two years ago alongside former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with no result.

“Now that high-profile athletes and millions of dollars of their property is being stolen, now it seems to be getting a lot of attention,” Spitzer said.

A Department of Justice press release said the suspects were members of a South American theft group that systematically burglarized the homes of professional athletes while they were away for games.

Spitzer argues the arrests are grounds for removing Chile from the ESTA program, which allows travelers from participating countries to enter the U.S. without a visa for up to 90 days. Chile is currently the only South American country in the program.

“Every other South American country that has participated in the past has been kicked out of the program for sending their criminals to the United States of America,” Spitzer argued.

He claims that Chile is failing to comply with program requirements by refusing to provide criminal background checks on its citizens. In 2022, approximately 350,000 Chilean nationals entered the U.S. using ESTA.

In June 2024, two Chilean nationals in the program were arrested after crashing into another vehicle while fleeing law enforcement in Orange County. Authorities say the suspects had just burglarized a home, stealing a safe, designer handbags, and jewelry.

“These Chileans have been coming here for years,” he said. “They’re going to Orlando, Florida, where Disney World is. They’re coming to Orange County, California, where Disneyland is. And they’re not here to visit the happiest place on Earth—they’re here to burglarize.”

New Taylor Swift And Ed Sheeran Wax Figures Leave Fans Horrified

New wax figures of Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have been unveiled at the Panoptikum museum in Hamburg and some fans have been left horrified.

Berlin artist Lisa Büscher specially crafted the life-size figurine for seven months.

The Swift figurine is dressed in a blue sequinned one-piece, similar to an outfit the Cruel Summer singer wore to the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Fans were quick to comment on the appearance of the Swift figurine.

“They look so off I’m crying,” one fan wrote on X.

Another joked, “When ur mum says u have Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift at home.”

“Omg they did her so dirty,” one person wrote.

“Achieving the perfect likeness is particularly challenging when it comes to a wrinkle-free, flawless beauty,” said artist Lisa in a statement.

“A particular challenge was designing her hands in the typical heart pose. Coordinating so that the hands meet well at the front was not easy.

“The same goes for the painting of the head. After all, a wax figure shouldn’t look ‘waxy.’”

Dr Susanne Faerber, the Managing Director of the museum, said in a press release: “With the wax figure of Taylor Swift, we are welcoming an absolute superstar to the Panoptikum.

“August 13 is therefore a truly lucky day for our wax museum—although the number 13 is also of great importance to Taylor Swift herself and to her countless Swifties. We are delighted to be able to offer many people a special fan experience with their star.”

Khloé Kardashian Breaks Silence: ‘A Lot of Anxiety’ Bringing Her Kids to Tristan Thompson’s Game – The Real Reason Behind Her Struggle!

Khloé Kardashian returned to Cleveland to take her kids to their dad’s basketball game — but she had some mixed feelings about it.

On this week’s episode of The Kardashians, the Good American co-founder, 40, chats with Scott Disick as she looks back at her trip to Cleveland with her daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 2, where they attended Tristan Thompson’s basketball game.

“I went to Cleveland the other day. Took my kids. I left the gates,” Kardashian says.

“I saw that! And the kids were like, ‘Cleveland!’ I was like, ‘Hm hm, you don’t know what Cleveland’s like,’ ” Disick responds.

“True had the time of her life. It was her first basketball game ever,” Kardashian responds.

Disick says it must’ve been nice for Thompson to have two of his kids there, to which Kardashian agrees.

“It was so nice! But also, you know, I don’t know if Tristan is going to be signed next year and I was like, ‘Let me go.’ You just never know. So I took them and I took CeCe,” Kardashian says, referencing her cousin. “It was on her bucket list to go to a playoff game.”

In a confessional, Kardashian shares more about the trip, saying it was a “great experience” for her kids to see their dad while he’s still playing professionally.

“It was such a great experience for my kids. True is 6. She’s old enough, she gets it,” the mom of two says. “She’s so proud and she was so excited to see her dad play and just be in that atmosphere.”

Back in the scene, Disick says it must’ve been “wild” for True and Tatum to see an entire stadium cheering for their dad.

“They were so happy,” Kardashian responds.

The scene switches back to a confessional and the proud mom opens up about some of the anxiety that she felt while attending her ex’s game.

“I did have a lot of anxiety about going. More for like the public’s reaction, which is so lame to say. Because I knew I was going to get filmed,” Kardashian explains. “My family, my circle, they know that Tristan and I, we’re not together. But it’s sad that I had a lot of anxiety because of outside noise.”

“I just didn’t want to hear it anymore. Like, ‘Oh, she’s going to support her man!’ Or whatever people were going to say. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, enough of this,’” she goes on. “But, I also was like, ‘F—- this, I’m doing this for my kids, I’m doing this for my cousin.’ And I’m so happy we all did. We all had the best time.”

New episodes of The Kardashians air Thursdays at 12 a.m. ET on Hulu.
