Patrick Mahomes has seen plenty of items on his cell phone device in recent days about quarterbacks from other teams making more and more and more money.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet

The casual baseball eye might not detect it, but the Los Angeles Dodgers have had a clown car full of players hit the injured list this season. At 61-42, Los Angeles leads the NL West despite nearly all their MLB starting rotation hitting the shelf at one point this season. However, on Wednesday, the Dodgers welcomed back ace Tyler Glasnow after a short IL stint, with the lengthy righty (who looks just like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders) throwing five innings of one-run ball.

What does the NCAA’s settlement agreement mean for Division-I college golf?. In short: More potential scholarships but fewer available roster spots. The NCAA along with the power conferences and lawyers representing former and current D-I athletes from three different lawsuits filed a 100-page settlement agreement on Friday that will bring monumental changes to college athletics – and not just football and basketball. The agreement, which still needs to be finalized by judicial approval in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, would allow schools to directly compensate their athletes (up to 22% of average revenue from media rights, ticket sales and sponsorships; or between $20-22 million initially) but also force schools to pay former athletes from all sports (dating to 2016) a collective $2.78 billion for past damages over a 10-year period.
