Brittany Mahomes Reacts to Patrick Mahomes' $50,000 Decision

Brittany Mahomes Reacts to Patrick Mahomes' $50,000 Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is coming off a season in which he threw for the fewest passing yards of his career (3,928). Despite that, he still led his team to the Super Bowl for the fifth time in the last six seasons. Advertisement The offseason is still underway, and that hasn't stopped the two-time NFL MVP from making moves. Through his 15 and the Mahomies Foundation and a partnership with Mahomes is giving back to students in his hometown of Tyler, Texas. The three-time Super Bowl champion is committing $50,000 in scholarship funds for five students in the Tyler area, with each student receiving $10,000. High school seniors graduating in 2025 can apply by submitting a 300–500-word essay that includes a personal story, their passions, future goals and any obstacles they've overcome. Shortly after and the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation shared that the application is now open in a collaborative post, Patrick's wife, Brittany Mahomes, reacted to it on social media.

Jurassic World: Rebirth's Final Cut Was Supposed To Be Under Two Hours. The Studio Note That Changed Things

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There has been a lot of discourse in the last few years regarding ever-growing movie runtimes, specifically regarding major blockbusters. While it used to be that you only tended to see major awards-worthy dramas exceed two hours, it's perfectly normal today to see your comic book movies at two and a half hours long, if not longer. All three of director Gareth Edwards' previous major studio releases, Godzilla, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and The Creator, exceed two hours in length. So it seems it was something of a goal for Edwards to bring in the upcoming Jurassic World: Rebirth under two hours in length. He tells io9 that he actually sliced five minutes off the movie just to get it under that cutoff, only to have the studio ask him to put it back. He said… I was determined to do a film that was under two hours. And so we showed this one hour 59 [minute] cut to the studio. And essentially their note was like, 'Great, could you put the five minutes that you cut out back in?' And so we put those five minutes back in, and it was essentially the movie. The official runtime of Jurassic World: Rebirth is listed at two hours and 14 minutes, so it seems likely Edwards' barely over two-hour cut was sans credits. This means even his version would have crept over two hours in total, but it's still almost surprising the movie was that short. At this point, we basically expect all blockbusters to be longer. Generally speaking, studio executives are happier when movies are shorter. The shorter a movie is, the more showtimes a theatrical film can have, and thus the more money can be made. That said, five minutes one way or the other probably doesn't move the needle much, so whatever five minutes got cut out was apparently worthwhile enough that the studio thought the movie was better with it. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearThe Jurassic movies are streaming with a Peacock subscription. Plans start at $7.99 a month, you can also pay more for Peacock Premium and enjoy ad-free streams and the option to download titles to watch offline Deal It's unclear exactly which five minutes that Edwards considered removing were saved by the studio. The director reveals there will likely be two or three deleted scenes on the home release of Rebirth that were cut and left out. The new film is getting a lukewarm response from critics; our own Jurassic World: Rebirth review doesn't find much to love, but the Jurassic Park franchise has never had any trouble making piles of money at the box office, and there's no reason to believe that's going to change now. Jurassic World: Dominion had the longest runtime in the franchise at just short of two and a half hours, and it still made a billion dollars. There a pretty good chance the new movie will follow suit, even if it is five minutes longer.

A surprise from ‘demon of screamin' Steven Tyler, plus James Taylor's Tanglewood guests

An estimated 40,000 metalheads were on hand to watch the original lineup of Black Sabbath — singer Ozzy Osbourne, bassist (and lyricist) Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward, and guitarist Tony Iommi — do their thing, as only they can do it, one final time. (Osbourne, 76, is in failing health.) The band performed four songs: ' Advertisement A seeming cast of thousands took the stage throughout the day, including Axl Rose and Slash of Guns n' Roses, the entirety of Metallica; Tool singer Maynard James Keenan and drummer Danny Carey; Smashing Pumpkins frontman Bill Corgan; Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker; Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid; Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt; Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and Sammy Hagar. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Tyler performed three songs, beginning with 'Train Kept A-Rollin',' which featured Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones on guitar. He then led the band through Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way' before closing the set with the Led Zeppelin classic 'Whole Lotta Love.' Tyler's voice held up for three songs, but it's hard to imagine he could sustain such a howl for a full show.
