What caught everyone’s attention was Griner’s new short hairstyle, which completely changed her appearance. NFL fans were taken aback by how different she looked and couldn’t resist but point out the uncanny similarity between Griner and Patrick Mahomes’ younger brother.

The buzz around Brittney Griner’s resemblance to Jackson Mahomes ignited during a special moment at Baylor University. Griner, the most decorated women’s basketball player in Baylor’s history, returned to Waco for a pregame ceremony retiring her No. 42 jersey. However, as fans observed her new short hairstyle during this event, they also found a unique connection to Jackson Mahomes which sparked conversations on the internet.

How Else Are Brittney Griner and Jackson Mahomes Similar?

As unexpected as it may seem, there is more to the resemblance between Brittney Griner and Jackson Mahomes than just their curly hairstyles and facial features. They also share a remarkably similar height and weight. Jackson Mahomes stands tall at 6 feet 6 inches, while Brittney Griner is even taller, measuring in at 6 feet 9 inches.

Despite their height difference, they both carry a similar weight, with Jackson weighing 187 lbs and Griner slightly heavier at 205 lbs. This surprising combination of physical similarities adds another layer to the interesting comparison between these two individuals.

Brittney Griner, known for her basketball career with the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA, is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist and plays for the United States national basketball team. However, controversy surrounded her when authorities detained her at a Moscow airport in February 2022 for possessing vaping cartridges with hashish oil, which is illegal in Russia.

After being announced guilty, she received a nine-year prison sentence. Thankfully, authorities released her in a prominent prisoner exchange after almost 10 months in custody, and she returned home to the U.S. in early December 2023.

In the mid-2023 season, the Silver and Black saw a major overhaul after abruptly firing HC Josh McDaniel and GM Dave Ziegler. Since then, Antonio Pierce has been trusted with the playmaker’s job, and he hasn’t disappointed. So much so that the front office decided to make him the permanent head man. He has since brought in this mentality that the players resonate with and a f,ew are even willing to run through a wall for their head coach. They have his back as well since Maxx Crosby asserted that he’d transfer to another team if Pierce hadn’t gotten the head coaching job.

Pierce certainly caught more than a few eyes, as he’s now leading the Raiders to the 2024 season with the back of a 5-4 record. But he has a game plan, and it consists of overcoming Patrick Mahomes. During his recent appearance on Maxx Crosby’s ‘The Rush‘ podcast, Pierce expressed that he not only wishes to get in Mahomes’ head but mess with him mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.

Pierce also recalled how Jordan had to fight through adversity while facing the Pistons, and that’s exactly what he and his Raiders aspire to achieve. He also openly expressed his hatred and said,

“We’ve got to knock off the head of the snake. Fifteen. Hate the color red,” Pierce said. “There’s a hatred for the Chiefs,” as per NBC Sports.

It’s worth noting that Pierce was able to beat the Chiefs on Christmas Day last year while going into the matchup as underdogs. Perhaps his strategy will actually thrive, and we will see the end of the Mahomes Era. So the question remains:

What Did the Pistons Do in Order to Limit Michael Jordan

Let’s travel back to the late ’80s — 1888, 1989, and 1990, to be exact — when the Detroit Pistons dominated the Eastern Conference Finals and overcame the Chicago Bulls in each of the postseasons they faced. Their strategy was simple — the Bad Boys would wear Jordan down both physically and emotionally with their aggressive defense, even double-teaming him when Jordan drove to the basket.

This was called the ‘Jordan Rules’, and former Pistons head coach Chuck Daly once recalled how they would force Jordan left and double him when he was at the point. And if His Airness was on the left wing, they would promptly double-team him from the top, but it would be slow in case Jordan was on the right wing.

This strategy worked until 1991 when the Bulls finally beat the Pistons for the Conference title and would go on to win the NBA Championship in that same year. Fans and pundits alike have argued for decades that if Jordan didn’t have to face the Pistons, he might have added a few more rings. Perhaps Antonio Pierce will also go on to execute a similar level of defense in the coming season — The Patrick Mahomes special. Only time will tell.

Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, the little guy, was there too, along with Brittany’s brother-in-law Jackson and mother-in-law Randi. Everyone’s presence made Sterling’s day extra special. Reflecting the overflowing love and excitement for Sterling’s upcoming third year, Brittany shared a very wholesome video, along with a note in the caption that said, “We celebrated our Sterling Skye today! We love you, baby girl.”

Sterling looked magical in her light pink dress adorned with red poppy patterns, complemented by white leggings, a pink headband, and matching wings. Her little friends, also in pink wings, enjoyed the various attractions, including a white bounce house and a white and pink-themed ball pit.

A whimsical scene for the celebration was set with the decorations, from the matching floral arrangements to the pastel green cake with pink butterfly accents. Brittany and Patrick, along with their guests, dressed casually for the occasion, embracing the joy and simplicity of the moment.

Fans’ reactions to the Instagram video were overwhelmingly positive, with many with love and good vibes. One fan couldn’t hide their excitement, commenting, “So fun! Happy birthday, sweet girl!!! ,” clearly touched by the joyous celebration.

Feeding Littles, a well-known organization, made a special appearance in the comments too, leaving a note for Brittany, “Happy birthday to your sweet Sterling! .”

Amidst the shower of love for Sterling, there was also a playful nod towards her brother, Bronze, with a comment that read, “Mini Pat keeps a mean mug!” It was a lighthearted moment that brought a little chuckle, reminding everyone of the unique personalities within the Mahomes family.

Sterling’s TV Time

Last September, Patrick Mahomes shared a little peek into family life that’s as relatable as it is adorable. Imagine the surprise of little Sterling, at the age of two, seeing herself and her parents on TV for the first time. According to Patrick, she’d freeze up, wide-eyed, probably wondering how she made it onto the screen.

But it’s not just about the surprise; it’s about recognition too. Sterling knows when it’s her mom and dad on the screen, calling out to them excitedly, according to SheKnows. It’s these moments that make the off-field life of the Mahomes family so special.

What made the Chiefs get hold of their third Vince Lombardi Trophy in the last five years is Mahomes recognizing the value of learning from mistakes and swiftly making changes. After a defeat against the Denver Broncos in Week 8, Patrick himself honestly noted that the entire team’s performance is an issue. However, he didn’t let this obstacle limit him and constantly found ways to overcome the opponents.

Mahomes regular season stats included 4,183 yards, a 67.2% completion rate, 27 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. In rushing, he ran 66 times for 333 yards and 3 touchdowns. The regular season was statistically worse as we witnessed drops in metrics like expected points added per dropback, success rate, increased pressure, and a diminished explosive play rate compared to previous seasons.

However, Patrick Mahomes turned things around in the postseason, even with him being named the MVP of Super Bowl LVIII. In three playoff matches, he showed outstanding skill, finishing with a 68% pass completion rate and 718 yards. Mahomes scored four touchdowns with no interceptions, resulting in a passer rating of 100.7, as per ESPN.

He showed the level of greatness at which he plays after leading the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl win in six seasons. As a matter of fact, he justified his $45 million salary with spectacular plays and superhuman throws that will likely mark his future Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Patrick Mahomes might falter at times, however, he consistently delivers in crucial moments.

How Much Is Patrick Mahomes Set to Earn in the Upcoming Years?

Patrick Mahomes initially signed a $450 million 10-year deal in 2020; however, in September 2023, the Chiefs and Mahomes adjusted the contract to match top quarterback deals, resulting in a $210.6 million agreement for 2023-2026. As a result, Mahomes has an average annual contract value of $52.65 million until 2026.

According to Spotrac, a resource that keeps track of players’ contracts and salaries, Mahomes earned $59.4 million in the 2023-24 NFL regular season, along with an extra $1.3 million in playoff bonuses. Moving on to the upcoming years, this is how Mahomes’ base salary, bonuses, and cap hit affect the Kansas City Chiefs.

After his contract negotiations, Mahomes displayed that he prefers the team’s overall improvement as he made sure to leave cap space for signing other players. He got a larger upfront payment but plans to revisit and renegotiate at a certain point. However, even with the negotiations, he doesn’t exceed the highest-paid player in the league’s average annual value.

So the question remains — was Patrick Mahomes worth the half-billion-dollar deal? If we look at his 3 Lombardies in his sixth season as a starter, it can be said with certainty that he more than just bore fruit. And without a doubt, any NFL franchise would pay double the amount, if they could, for similar results.

It is indeed one of a kind and borderline disgusting for most of the fans. During an appearance on the “ManningCast,” last year, Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes disclosed his special pre-game ritual involving consistently wearing red underwear since 2017. The two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning couldn’t stop laughing after he heard what Patrick had to say. He badgered him with questions like, “Is it a thong? Is it a g-string?”

The ritual started during his first year in the NFL when his wife, Brittany Mahomes, gave him this underwear as a gift. Although he only played one game in 2017, the Chiefs went on to win the AFC West, and Patrick believed it was the red underwear that helped him through it.

It’s true: @PatrickMahomes has worn the same pair of red underwear for every game of his career pic.twitter.com/czOCMOOaas

— Omaha Productions (@OmahaProd) November 14, 2023

The one question each fan had in their mind was if the underwear was worn down, or rather if Patrick washed it after games or not. Mahomes reassured the fans, and Eli, that the underwear is only worn during games to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. However, he confessed that the pair remains untouched during a winning streak, noting,

“I only wear them for game day though. They’re not too worn down. They’re not like these nasty,” followed by, “I wash them every once in a while… If we’re on a hot streak I can’t wash them. I just gotta keep them rolling… As long as I’m winning football games, I’ll keep the superstition going.”

So fans, don’t fret over his pre-game rituals being gross. He does wash them, potentially when they start smelling. It might sound unconventional to some, but he is indeed getting results. Notably, Patrick has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles in the past 5 years.

Do You Know Why Patrick Mahomes Wiggles His Fingers?

The exact reason behind Patrick Mahomes’ habit of wiggling his fingers between plays is unknown, as he has never openly discussed it. Some believe it could be a signal to his teammates to hurdle up or just a celebration indicating his finger magic.

Former Kansas City defensive tackle Khalen Saunders feels, the gesture indicates that Patrick Mahomes is ready for the next play just after he makes a good play.

According to Distractify, Patrick’s practice of moving his fingers during breaks in play is comparable to the celebratory antics NFL players display following touchdowns or big plays. As long as he doesn’t clarify, the finger-wiggling remains a unique part of his on-field persona, possibly mixing celebration and subtle communication with teammates.

Mahomes after winning two in a row is once again setting his gaze to a third which no team or quarterback has ever achieved before. If the Chiefs QB is successful in doing so, then he will be in a race of his own, which also made a former teammate of Brady wonder what would happen next.

In a recent conversation between Robert Griffin III and Super Bowl LIII champion Jason McCourty at the RG3 and The Ones podcast, the two NFL veterans were discussing how the narrative of the NFL GOAT could change the very next year.

If Patrick Mahomes and the @Chiefs become the first NFL team to 3-Peat, then Mahomes doesn’t need to win 7 rings to become the Greatest of All-Time.@JasonMcCourty believes Brady beating him head to head in the Super Bowl is tough to ignore.

Full Convo https://t.co/ssYrODCzTk https://t.co/YXEFctFPoi pic.twitter.com/Q73UPrBLlo

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) February 18, 2024

“Brady has seven Super Bowls. So we’re putting a mark for Mahomes that he has to at least get seven,” said McCourty. “The fact that Brady beat him in a Super Bowl you have to hold that against him as well.”

He added: “But if they go three-peat and they’re the only team and he’s the only quarterback to win three in a row, I think that changes the conversation. If he wins three in a row and he maybe doesn’t get to seven, say he gets to six, five. But three of them happen in a row, I think you can still have that conversation of, if he’s The Greatest Of All Time. The only thing is Brady beat him.”

That said, the GOAT debate would still persist for a long time as Brady himself was in a race of his own since no other QB has even gotten close to the amount of success that he has had. And Mahomes will have to do something extraordinary to get in the same conversation as him.

Will Patrick Mahomes Settle the GOAT Debate With a Three-Peat?

Only eight quarterbacks in the league’s history have ever won back-to-back Super Bowls with Brady and Mahomes being two of them. However, no one has ever had a three-peat in the NFL, let alone replicating a Michael Jordan-esque two-time three-peat.

If Patrick Mahomes successfully becomes the first ever quarterback to do so, he would certainly be named the most dominant QB of his era. Not to mention gracing the GOAT debate next to Tom Brady. It would then become a conversation of intensity vs. longevity.

Patrick Mahomes may be one of the best quarterbacks in the history of football, but he is no scrub when it comes to basketball. In the video, the player is seen putting a plethora of moves on his defender which are beyond impressive. The NFL superstar starts with an in-and-out dribble near the three-point line and crosses his defender before showing his dribbling skills to split the gap between two players. He then proceeds to do a spin move in the paint and finish at the rim. The moves by Mahomes were beyond impressive and got a roar from the crowd. Here is the video:

A post shared by Chad Jacob Merrill (@chaddychadletsgetit)

The moves shown by Mahomes in the video should not come as a surprise to the fans as the NFL player played basketball for his high school – Whitehouse High School, Texas. Mahomes had the complete offensive firepower. He could attack the rim and finish over larger defenders, shoot from long distances, and knock down mid-range shots with ease. He was the quintessential shooting guard. The NFL champion played football, basketball, and baseball growing up.

It is no wonder that Shaquille O’Neal was surprised by what he saw. With Mahomes being as good as he is at football, many would have likely thought that he spent little to no time on any other sport. However, as it turns out his level of skill at the sport of basketball is well above the average. In fact, some might even argue that he may have had more than a slight chance to make it to the NBA.

Patrick Mahomes talks about his basketball game

Patrick Mahomes is supremely confident in his basketball abilities. During an interview, he talked about the kind of player he would be if he continued to play basketball, much to the amusement of the reporters in the room. The three-time NFL Super Bowl champion believed his game would have been similar to the Golden State Warriors player – Stephen Curry. Here is what he said:

“If I played basketball, I would be just like Steph Curry. I mean, I got the shot. I just got to a get a couple of extra reps, a couple of shots up and I will be shooting just like him. I mean that’s who I’ll be.”

Mahomes believes the only thing stopping him from becoming Steph Curry is just a couple of additional repetitions on the basketball court. Of course, the player was having fun while saying that to the reporters, but seeing his high-school game, an NBA career does not seem impossible for a young Mahomes. Being like Steph Curry, though, is a whole other debate.

The entire football community has been deeply saddened by this unfortunate outcome that took Elizabeth “Lisa” Lopez-Galvan’s life. A DJ full of life and a loving mother of two, Lisa was only 43. Her son Marc was also injured during the incident, while her daughter fortunately managed to escape the scene unharmed.

However, Lisa’s cousin’s two daughters weren’t so lucky and were senselessly shot in the legs. The entire situation is deeply saddening, yet the support from the community was quite helpful for the victims.  The Reyes family, the relatives of the girls, made it a point to express just how thankful they are to everyone who has been so kind and supportive. They especially mentioned how much Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ love and support meant to them, KMBC News reports.

In another inspiring act of generosity, music icon Taylor Swift contributed $100,000 to a GoFundMe campaign set up in memory of Lopez-Galvan.

The Kansas City Chiefs went into Super Bowl LVIII as underdogs against the Brock Purdy-led Niners. The rookie quarterback managed to hold his ground throughout the entire game, but it wasn’t enough to keep the defending champs at bay. Following their overtime loss with a 22-25 score, an X user posed an idea about Brady taking the helm at the Bay Area side and if it could have changed the outcome of the matchup.

Lastly, this user said,

No. Brady was washed up last year. They should have tried to sign him when the Bucs did. He probably would have chosen SF since he grew up a fan and they had the better team. SF choosing Jimmy G over Brady cost then a SB. Had they done that, they would have won instead of TB.

— Maximus (@JonathanAllen21) February 18, 2024

It’s worth mentioning that Kyle Shanahan had his eye on Brady after he entered free agency last year. Shanahan even had a chat with Purdy and stressed how the former Buccaneers man barely got hurt on the field; therefore, he would have given Brady the starting job if he was interested, as per CBS Sports.

There’s also a huge possibility that Brady would have his eighth Super Bowl ring by now if he chose to play another season with the Niners. His playoff records are certainly a testament to that fact.

Tom Brady Already Has One-Up Against Mahomes in the Postseason

Ever since Patrick Mahomes took over the starting role at Kansas City in 2018, he led the team to four Super Bowl appearances and even secured three of them. So, who beat him that one time at the grandest stage of them all? It’s none other than Tom Brady — in his first year with the Buccaneers. He also defeated the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game in 2018 and remains the only QB to overpower Mahomes in the postseason, not once but twice.

A few fans brought up this argument in the comments about how Brady had the poise to dismantle Steve Spagnuolo’s defense, while others noted how Brady hasn’t always been unbeatable since losing in the Super Bowl twice against Eli Manning and his New York Giants.

As it seems, the debate will continue to persist in the coming future. Mahomes still has a long way to go — but fans feel that Brady could be the only man who could stop the two-time MVP’s winning streak. What do you think? Could Brady flourish at the age of 46 if he were to make a comeback?

The post Internet Gets Divided on the Idea of Tom Brady Beating the Chiefs if He Played in Place of Brock Purdy appeared first on The SportsRush.

The KC Chiefs players were visibly shocked by the incident and rightly so. Patrick Mahomes hence took charge and visited the victims at the hospital with his wife Brittany Mahomes. The NFL MVP and his wife went to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas to visit the Reyes Family. The family’s 8 and 10-year-old daughters suffered gunshots on their legs and have been hospitalized since then. The Mahomes’ visiting them lent the kids immense strength and the family thanked the QB and his wife for their efforts.

Post-visit, Patrick Mahomes went on social media to announce the Kansas City Chiefs launching #KCStrong. The three-time Super Bowl winner shared that just like the fans have been with him and his team through thick and thin, the KC Chiefs and Mahomes want to do the same for their fans. Hence the team in collaboration with the QBs “15 and the Mahomies” foundation has launched #KCStrong – “an emergency response fund supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders.”

This is a very thoughtful gesture by Patrick Mahomes. Being the face of Kansas City comes with a responsibility and it is heartening to see the QB using his powers well. Patrick realizes the contribution of the people in making him a megastar. Hence the QB has never shied away from giving back to the people with his philanthropy. This is also why he started the “15 and the Mahomies” foundation.

What is “15 and the Mahomies”?

Patrick Mahomes launched “15 and the Mahomies” in 2019. The name of the foundation stems from Mahomes’ jersey number 15 and a friendly version of his last name. The 15 and the Mahomies Foundation dedicates itself primarily to improving children’s lives. The foundation does this by supporting welfare programs focused on health, wellness, communities lacking resources, and other charitable causes.

The foundation so far has launched three programs – “Read for 15”, “Volunteer for 15”, and “15 for 15”. The first program is aimed at encouraging children to read with a 15-week program. “Volunteer for 15”, meanwhile aims to encourage children between 11-18 to volunteer for meaningful causes. The “15 for 15” program is the foundation’s signature program that aims to fund 15 charities. The charities however have to focus on academics, science, the arts, classroom supplies, athletics, children with disabilities, and after-school programs among others to be eligible for support.
