Chiefs' Offseason Announcement Draws Disappointed Reaction From Fans
After Kansas City defeated the San Francisco 49ers in last year's Super Bowl, and announced their goal of a three-peat, the Chiefs agreed to allow "unprecedented access into the players' lives on and off the field" to create a six-part docuseries of the team's historic run.
The Chiefs revealed on March 28 that the docuseries is expected to premiere later this year on ESPN and Disney+.

Due to the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Chiefs 40-22 in the Super Bowl, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Co. unable to put any points on the board until after falling to a 34-0 deficit in the third quarter, many fans don't want to relive this past season.

One fan wrote, "Watching this like I watch Revenge of the Sith. Knowing how it ends but praying some how this time will be different." Another person posted, "so we get to relive the pain all over again, yay." One man commented, "Gonna be a great show but we all know it's gonna have a [expletive] ending so that sucks." Another fan asked, "Did it HAVE to be the losing season💀😭."
Some fans don't want to watch at all. One woman wrote, "Gonna skip this one." Another Chiefs fan added, "Don't really feel like reliving this season personally."
Obviously, this docuseries would've been a lot more epic if the Chiefs won a historic three-peat. However, the ESPN Original Series, produced by Words + Pictures in association with Skydance Sports, NFL Films, 2PM Productions -- Mahomes' production company, and Foolish Club Studios, moved forward with it anyway.

Burke Magnus, president of content of ESPN said in a statement, "ESPN and Disney+ know that sports fans are interested in stories that take them beyond the X's and O's, and this series will explore the legacy of the Chiefs franchise while also showcasing the emotional highs and lows of building a championship-winning team."

Xavier Worthy returned to practice Friday after equilibrium problem
Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy returned to practice Friday. Worthy missed Wednesday's practice with concussion-like symptoms that landed him in concussion protocol. Further testing, though, revealed something else. 'It ended up not being a concussion,' Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, via John Dixon of 'He had a little liquid in his ear. They took care of that. It was throwing his equilibrium off just a bit.' Reid said Worthy insisted he didn't have a concussion, but noted that the team always will be cautious with potential head injuries. Right tackle Jawaan Taylor (knee) and linebacker Jeff Bassa (ankle) also returned to practice. Wide receivers Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring), tight end Jake Briningstool, safety Deon Bush (hamstring) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (knee) all missed another day of workouts. Linebacker Drue Tranquill left practice early on the front seat of a cart, and Reid said Tranquill strained his back "a little."

UFC icon Dustin Poirier confirms new career post-retirement
Dustin Poirier has announced his next career chapter after hanging up the gloves in the UFC. Poirier, 36, enjoyed his last dance in the Octagon at UFC 318 in July, in a thrilling fight against fellow legend Max Holloway, going out in defeat as the Hawaiian pipped him to a decision victory. Holloway got one over on Poirier at the third time of asking, retiring the American in his home state of Louisiana in the pay-per-view's main event. However, 'The Diamond' won't be staying far away from the cage after confirming he'll be swapping the trunks for the suit and tie. Poirier will venture into the media world as an MMA analyst and commentator, joining the likes of Daniel Cormier, Michael Bisping and Dominik Cruz in the contingent of UFC legends turned broadcasters. He confirmed the career switch on X, writing: 'Looking forward to getting back on the ESPN desk, going to start focusing on that now.' Poirier is deemed by many as the best UFC fighter never to win an undisputed title. After beating Holloway to win the interim lightweight title, he was submitted by regular champion Khabib Nurmagomedov while trying to unify the belts. Poirier holds eight wins over six former MMA world champions, four of whom held UFC titles. Those fighters are Holloway, Conor McGregor, Eddie Alvarez, Anthony Pettis, Michael Chandler and Gaethje. Poirier submitted Holloway in their first fight and also beat Pettis and Chandler via submission, while he knocked out McGregor in one of their three clashes and also stopped Alvarez and Gaethje. Poirier lost his first fight with McGregor at featherweight in 2014, before avenging that result with a knockout of the Irishman in 2021, six months before McGregor suffered a broken leg in their trilogy bout. The 'Diamond', who was accompanied by Louisiana rapper Lil Wayne during his ring walk on Saturday, retires with a professional record of 30-10 (1 No Contest). Often named as one of the UFC's best boxers, Poirier secured 15 of his wins via KO/TKO, while he earned eight by submission.
