Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes addresses critics ahead of the 2025 season
"I'm honestly just ready to play football again; whenever you lose, you kind of have this taste in your mouth that you want to go out there and revenge that or whatever you want to say," said Mahomes, "But at the same time, I feel like I've had to sit back and just listen to people talk and talk. I'm like, let's just play football and just handle it all out there. And I don't really want to talk about it. I just want to go out and show who we are as a Kansas City Chiefs."
Due to all the criticism, Adams referred to Mahomes and the Chiefs as a "revenge tour" this upcoming season. The three-time Super Bowl champions' decision to address it and put the focus on the football field is a clear statement to the league.

Mahomes finished with 3,928 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions last season. In 2024, he had his first as a starter without 4,000 passing yards.

Big Countdown Moment Will Lead Amber and Mark to a ‘Complicated Place,' Says Jessica Camacho (VIDEO)
The following contains spoilers from the July 23 episode of , now streaming on Prime Video. The truth — and the whole truth — is now out, on Prime Video's Countdown. But where does that leave terminal Mark and a shellshocked Amber? More from TVLine Dexter: Resurrection's Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa Talk Detectives' 'Moonlighting Energy' and Suspicions of Harrison Casting News: Jack Lowden Leads Berlin Noir Series, Matthew Rhys Is Invincible and More The Summer I Turned Pretty Premiere: Jer Commits an Act of Betrayal - Or Did He? You Be the Judge! We learned back in Episode 1 that veteran LAPD detective Mark Meachum (played by Jensen Ackles) had been diagnosed nine months prior with glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive and malignant type of brain tumor. Last week, DEA agent Amber Oliveras (Jessica Camacho) called out Meachum on his 'junkie'-like behavior, what with all the squinting, forehead-clutching, and taking 20 minutes to descend a stairwell. That teed up a heart-to-heart between the Hurricane Task Force partners, during which Mark confided some of his situation, framing it as 'migraines.' Amber in turn hooked Mark up with prescription pain killers. MARK'S CONFESSION STUNS AMBER In this week's Episode 7, Amber visited Mark at home and, over beers, proffered a vial of new meds that 'disrupt serotonin receptors.' Mark, though, cut her off to plainly state, 'I have a tumor.' 'What…?' a stunned Amber responded. 'Is it treatable? 'Nope.' 'How long…?' she asked of his prognosis. 'Uh, six weeks, six months… doc's not sure,' he shrugged. 'But I'll tell you this,' Mark added upon clocking his partner's concern. 'I'm not going out staring at the sunset on the beach. If I'm going out, I'm going out saving something — this city, these people. If I get that chance, that's what I'll do.' WILL THE (TRAGIC) TRUTH BRING AMBER AND MARK CLOSER? In the meantime, how will Mark's sharing of his terminal fate change things between him and Amber? The two started out at (playful) loggerheads when the task force was first formed, but they have grown closer in recent weeks. In the TVLine video above, Camacho offers, 'The fact that Meachum decides to confide in [Oliveras] means a lot to her.' The sharing of such personal information 'really takes her by surprise, it takes her aback,' the actress notes, 'and I don't think that's something that she takes lightly. Him letting her into his world in that way deepens her desire to show up for him as his partner, as a human… as someone who begins to really, deeply care for this person.' That in turn 'takes their journey' as partners, and maybe more, 'to an interesting and complicated place,' Camacho teases. Or as castmate Violett Beane, sitting beside Camacho in the video, puts it: 'You'll have to watch to find out!' Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?

NASCAR Will Run a Race Around the Runways of a U.S. Navy Airbase in San Diego Next June
NASCAR may not be racing at the Chicago street circuit next year, but the series is not done with temporary tracks in big cities just yet. On Wednesday, the series announced plans to run a race at a Naval Base Coronado, a tiny island that makes up part of the city of San Diego. The event, which is only confirmed for 2026 as part of a one-year deal, will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy itself. The track should look more like an airport circuit (think Cleveland and Edmonton's former IndyCar rounds, or what Formula E currently runs in Berlin) than a more conventional street circuit, but a layout has not yet been confirmed. NASCAR executive Ben Kennedy told Fox Sports that the track would be around three miles long and built around "the tarmac and the apron areas of the runways but likely not the runways themselves." The base previously held the Coronado Speed Festival, a historic race that also occasionally featured Mazda's MX-5 Cup, from 1997 through 2016. NASCAR's layout is unlikely to be the same as this track, but it could use many of the same stretches of pavement. Another San Diego landmark, the Del Mar horse racing track, hosted a street circuit built in its parking lot in both the 1960s and 1980s. San Diego has not been targeted as a major auto racing market since, although fans from the region are about 90 minutes away from the annual Long Beach Grand Prix in Los Angeles. Since that annual event is in April, the two temporary circuit races are unlikely to pull from the other's audience in significant numbers. NASCAR's San Diego debut is set to run from June 19th to June 21st. All three national series will run on the track, including the Truck Series that skipped Chicago in all three years that the event was held.

New bill introduced into Congress would allow TKO to create UFC structure in boxing
Dana White's biggest play in boxing yet is starting to take shape. UFC CEO White, who founded TKO Boxing alongside Saudi Arabian boxing financier Turki Alalshikh and WWE President Nick Khan, will promote the Sept. 13 battle of pound-for-pound greats between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence "Bud" Crawford — but a move perhaps more important for TKO in the long run was presented in the United States Congress on Wednesday. A new bipartisan bill, the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, has been introduced by two members of Congress — Georgia Republication Brian Jack and Kansas Democrat (and former MMA fighter) Sharice Davids — to amend the Professional Boxing Safety Act. The bill would allow for the creation of alternative systems called Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs). At the present time, boxing operates within a four-belt system whereby boxers work their way up through the rankings of the sport's four major sanctioning bodies — the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF — until they can eventually fight for a world title with one of them. UBOs would not replace the current structure of boxing; it would instead create a separate, parallel system that runs alongside it, offering boxers the choice between the traditional sanctioning body model or the UBO model. UBOs would be allowed to run rankings systems, award UBO titles and organize events. In essence, promoters would be able to promote fights for titles and rankings, which they also control — a stark contrast to how the pugilistic art is currently run. The biggest benefactor of these changes is, without a doubt, TKO Boxing. With the bill's passing, TKO Boxing would be allowed to form a UBO of its own and operate a UFC-type "league" model within it. The sport of boxing has long been criticized for having too many belts, making it difficult for fans to be aware of who the best in the division is or what the universal rankings for those divisions actually look like. Furthermore, sanctioning bodies have a clear conflict of interest, as they charge a percentage fee for championship matches and therefore benefit from the most popular fighters being successful within their system, or from extra, unnecessary titles — such as regular, gold, and franchise titles — being created and used on a regular basis. UBOs, however, would not be allowed to charge boxers any fees for placement in the rankings or the right to participate in championship matches. Additionally, the bill sets to enact a national minimum payment for all professional boxers at $150 per round. While this appears insignificant, six states have minimums below $150, and most states have no minimum payments at all. This rule would help prevent up-and-coming fighters from being exploited, as it is common knowledge that fighters on club shows sometimes pay to fight or fight for no money. The legislation, if it passes, would also create a national minimum of $25,000 for coverage for injuries sustained during a fight, higher than current minimums in 43 states. UBO boxers would benefit from additional health and safety protections, including enhanced comprehensive medical exams, more licensed physicians and ambulance units present at each event, and health coverage for injuries sustained during training for a bout. UBOs would have comprehensive anti-doping testing programs and strict anti-betting policies. This legislation is endorsed by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Lonnie Ali, wife of the late boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
