Patrick Mahomes deep dimes to Xavier Worthy at Chiefs camp should terrify rest of NFL
Patrick Mahomes seems to like his shiny new toy. When the Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Buffalo Bills to select Xavier Worthy in April's draft, the rest of the NFL was put on notice. As puzzling as it was that Buffalo willingly traded back with their AFC rival -- thus allowing the Chiefs to fill their most obvious void on the offensive side of the ball -- the Texas product is a raw talent and has a long way to go as a route-runner.

Hey Democrats, if you want a quick-fix Biden replacement, try Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly
Democrats’ efforts to dispose of President Joe Biden finally bore fruit Sunday, as the octogenarian exited the presidential race with (I imagine) a snarl and an under-his-breath “malarkey.” Panicky politicos feared a total GOP takeover of Washington, D.C. Now they have a clean slate and a huge task in front of them: finding someone else […] The post Hey Democrats, if you want a quick-fix Biden replacement, try Kansas Gov.

SKCvSTL Quotes: "These are games that you want to watch as a spectator"
It's a game that I expected the way it would be. It would be intense. These games will continue to take on that life as we move forward. So from that perspective it was fine. I don't really think we gave up a lot in the game, to be honest with you, other than I don't know what Tim (Melia) was doing on that goal kick in the second half. Other than that, everything else was pretty much back and forth with both teams. The goalkeeper made a great save on the tip on Tim (Leibold) in the first half with his right foot, which I've never seen him do before (but he did) finally. The fact that we came back was good. We had a good mentality to do that. I think after we scored the goal, maybe we missed a little bit of push, but I think you have got to take into consideration we've had a lot of games. The guys have expended a lot of energy. I do thank the Gods today because the weather was very helpful, for sure, because if it would have been a hot day, I think it would have affected us a lot and maybe them as well. I don't know. But us a lot just because of the number of games.
