Fans wonder if Patrick Mahomes did former Bengals player dirty during Super Bowl
Perhaps the most notable was former running back Samaje Perine.
In many ways, that's due to the fallout after the game. There, a sideline video of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes seeming to skip over Perine during the blowout went viral.
When the video first went out, it didn't seem like that big of a deal and it's probably an honest mistake and nothing more.

But these things have a way of taking on a life of their own and this one certainly has:

For those out of the loop on the lore here — Perine joined the Bengals in 2020 and was part of the Super Bowl run. He left for the Denver Broncos in 2023 despite a strong push from the Bengals to keep him and explained why he decided to leave. He spent one year with the Broncos, got cut and joined the Chiefs.
Now, Bengals fans are wondering about the viral video:
Wow he really left Samaje Perine hanging https://t.co/xtRbttlZqH

Perine, come back to the Bengals. We'll show you respect!

See, Perine… Burrow would have dapped you up! Now the star QB just ignores you. 🤷🏾♂️ #RuleTheJungle https://t.co/LOlvFbRVBH

49ers receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) remains out of practice
Before training camp opened, reports emerged that 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings wanted a new contract or a trade. He didn't hold out. He could be holding in. Jennings suffered a calf injury during training camp on July 27. (It apparently was an aggravation of an offseason injury.) He has yet to practice since then. On Monday, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about Jennings's ongoing absence. 'Same thing with his calf,' Shanahan said. Shanahan then was asked if it's 'definitely health-related, not business-related'? 'You can ask him that, but he tells me it's his calf and the calf shows,' Shanahan said. 'So, got to be delicate with those calves.' It could be a combination of health and business. If Jennings was happy with his contract, maybe he'd push through it. Because he isn't happy with his contract, he isn't. Jennings is in the second year of a two-year, $11.89 million contract. The contract was surprisingly light, given that he had a Super Bowl LVIII performance that had him on the short list of potential MVP candidates, before the 49ers lost to the Chiefs. Last year, Jennings had a career-high 77 catches for 975 yards and six touchdowns. With Deebo Samuel gone and Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the 2024 season, Jennings seems to merit an increase. He may not be doing much until he gets one.

Saquon Barkley says he declined a spot on President Donald Trump's sports council
PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley has declined an invitation to join President Donald Trump's council on sports, fitness, and nutrition, which is being revitalized under an executive order that also re-establishes the Presidential Fitness Test for American children. Barkley, the 2,000-yard rusher for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, was on a list of sports personalities that included golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Nelly Korda, WWE executive Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and retired New York Yankees great Mariano Rivera. Barkley said Monday following Eagles' practice that he had declined the invitation. 'A couple months ago, it was brought to my team about the council,' Barkley said. 'So I'm not really too familiar with it. I felt like that I am going to be super busy. Me and my family thought it would probably be of best interest to not accept that. I was definitely a little shocked when my name was mentioned. I'm assuming it's something great, so I appreciate it but was a little shocked when my name was mentioned.' Trump last week re-established the Presidential Fitness Test for American children, a fixture of public schools for decades that gauged young people's health and athleticism with 1-mile runs, sit-ups and stretching exercises. 'This is a wonderful tradition, and we're bringing it back,' Trump said of the fitness test that began in 1966 but was phased out during the Obama administration. The executive order also reinvigorated the national sports council that could have included Barkley. Barkley won AP Offensive Player of the Year last season after rushing for 2,005 yards, eighth-best in NFL history, in his first season with the Eagles. Barkley has golfed with Trump and former President Barack Obama over the last year, and the running back attended the White House celebration of the champion Eagles while some teammates — notably star quarterback Jalen Hurts — skipped the ceremony. Barkley visited Trump in April at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and caught a ride with the president to Washington on Air Force One and then to the White House on Marine One. 'He loved it,' Trump said then of Barkley's short flight on the presidential airplane. 'He's a great young guy and an incredible football player. Saquon had a season for the ages, running behind the most powerful offensive line in the NFL.' Barkley, meanwhile, pushed back on social media criticism following the visit. He noted that he had already golfed with Obama, a Democrat.

LPGA's bank-shot ace goes viral, ranks No. 1 on SportsCenter Top 10
Miyu Yamashita broke through with her first LPGA title at the AIG Women's British Open, but it was Mimi Rhodes' ricocheted ace that still has people talking. Rhodes' ace ranked No. 1 on SportsCenter's top 10 plays Sunday night, and on Monday morning, she was featured on the Today Show. On Friday at the British Open at Royal Porthcawl, Steph Kyriacou made her first ace on the LPGA on the par-3 eighth hole. On Sunday, the Aussie was credited with a rare ace assist. After Kyriacou came within an inch of her second ace of the week on the par-3 fifth, England's Rhodes hit hit a similar shot from 184 yards that ricocheted off Kyriacou's ball and into the cup. A bank shot for the ages.
