Chiefs’ Andy Reid shares parenting advice after Patrick, Brittany Mahomes welcome 3rd child

15 January 2025 at 08:10

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid knows football. He also knows a thing or two about being a dad. 

On Monday, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes announced the birth of their third child in a post on social media. Golden Raye Mahomes was born on Sunday, Jan. 12 and is the couple's second daughter. 

They also have a 2-year-old son named Patrick Lavon III, nicknamed Bronze.

With three under three, Mahomes told reporters on Tuesday that he is content with the size of his family "for right now," but Reid offered a different perspective when talking to the media. 

"Yeah, I think he does great with it," Reid said when asked how the veteran quarterback is handling fatherhood. "He came in as Patrick 2pm, now he’s Patrick 3pm."

But for Reid, a father of five, he believes the more, the merrier.  

CHIEFS' PATRICK MAHOMES ADMITS HE'S 'GOOD' WITH 3 KIDS FOR NOW AFTER CELEBRATING LATEST BIRTH

"Once you have three, four and five are easy. That’s what I told him," Reid said with a smile. "You’ve made three, you add a couple more, we’ll talk." 

However, the focus now for Mahomes is certainly on the playoffs. 

The Chiefs will face the Houston Texans on Saturday in the divisional round hosted at Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs pursue a historic third straight championship. 

"I think every year is special," Mahomes said. "Obviously, you want to win three in a row and build those memories with the guys and the community. But every single year is special. And when I look back at all the different Super Bowls that we've won, I look back at special moments that we've had and special games that we've had. And so, we'll try to do the same this year."

The Chiefs enter Saturday’s game well rested after securing a bye as the No. 1 seed.

Shedeur Sanders reacts to possibility of father coaching Cowboys

15 January 2025 at 07:56

Shedeur Sanders is likely to be one of the first quarterbacks taken off the board and whichever team lands him will have an intriguing storyline before the start of the season.

For now, all eyes are on his father as the Dallas Cowboys could be trying to lure Coach Prime from the Colorado Buffaloes to the NFL. The elder Sanders had been adamant about not going to the pros unless he could coach his sons.

Dallas has the No. 12 pick of the draft and would likely have to make a move up the board to be in line to select Shedeur Sanders if that was a part of the whole plan.

The star collegiate quarterback spoke briefly with the Dallas Morning News as he attended the Dallas Mavericks-Denver Nuggets game on Tuesday night.

"I think it would be cool. What do you think?" he told the paper.

The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy after five seasons as the two sides couldn’t agree to a new contract. Dallas has the opening but at least one former player doesn’t really consider it a "coveted job."

Troy Aikman made his thoughts clear about the situation on Monday.

DEION SANDERS HAS 'LEGIT' CHANCE OF COACHING COWBOYS BUT UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, SUPER BOWL CHAMP SAYS

"I thought Mike McCarthy would be the head coach, so this is a bit of a surprise for me today that he’s not going to be… It suggests that there's not a real plan," he said before calling the playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings.

"I do think the Cowboys are obviously a high-profile team. Whoever is the head coach of that team is certainly going to draw a lot of attention, but I think most football people that take over as a head coach they want to do it on their terms and that’s hard to do.

"I love the Dallas Cowboys. I played there for 12 years. I wish them well. To say that it’s a coveted job, I’m not sure I would necessarily agree with that."

Deion Sanders didn’t exactly pour cold water on the notion of taking the job. He confirmed reports Monday he talked with team owner Jerry Jones.

"To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it’s intriguing," Sanders told ESPN. "I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community."

Deion Sanders 'should be the No 1 choice' for the Cowboys as head coach, NFL legend says

15 January 2025 at 07:54

The possibility of Deion Sanders becoming the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys got the NFL world fired up earlier this week as the team parted ways with Mike McCarthy.

Drew Pearson, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Cowboys star, hopped on the Sanders train and expressed his support for Coach Prime going back to the pros to roam the sidelines for the team he won a Super Bowl with in the 1990s.

"I think he's capable," Pearson told TMZ Sports. "There's no question he has the qualifications to do it. He paid his dues. He came through the ranks, and he's proven it each step of the way that he knows what he's doing.

"He's had success in the coaching ranks, from high school to college," he added. "So why can't he be a successful coach in the pros? I think he should be the No. 1 choice for the Dallas Cowboys."

It is unclear how much interest there is in the Cowboys signing Sanders to become the head coach. Sanders has been adamant about staying at Colorado unless he could coach his sons in the NFL.

He confirmed reports that he talked with team owner Jerry Jones about the job but did not exactly say he would not jump at the chance to coach the Cowboys.

"To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it’s intriguing," Sanders later told ESPN. "I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community."

Penguins star Evgeni Malkin has 3 Stanley Cup rings stolen in home burglary

15 January 2025 at 07:07

Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin is the latest athlete to have his home burglarized.

Malkin’s three Stanley Cup rings were among the items taken in the robbery, per KDKA-TV.

The 38-year-old’s home was broken into on the day the Penguins were playing the Ottawa Senators.

Malkin’s Penguins lost 5-0 to the Senators on Saturday, but the star forward didn’t play due to an upper-body injury. 

"We are working closely with local authorities and team security," the team said in a statement late Tuesday night. "Malkin has requested that his privacy be respected during this time, and we will have no further comment on the matter."

KDKA-TV also reported that Malkin’s home security system was down during the robbery and that his safe was left open.

Malkin has been in the NHL for 19 seasons, spending them all with the Penguins. He won the Hart Trophy for the league’s most valuable player in 2011-2012, and has 1,328 points (506 goals, 822 assists) in his career. 

LUKA DONČIĆ'S HOME BURGLARIZED, ADDING TO LIST OF TARGETED HOMES OF HIGH-PROFILE ATHLETES

The FBI warned professional sports leagues late last month that South American organized criminal groups were behind a string of home invasions, according to ABC News. The report said the groups conduct "physical and technical surveillance" to prep for the burglaries. They use social media to get an idea of where and when a person will be gone from their home, and then they make their mark.

Both the NFL and NBA sent memos to teams about home security measures in November following the break-ins of some of their athletes' homes.

Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had their homes broken into in October.

While the Cincinnati Bengals were playing against the Dallas Cowboys in December, quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was targeted. 

In the NBA, Minnesota Timberwolves Mike Conley Jr.’s home was burglarized on Sept. 15 while he was attending a Minnesota Vikings game. 

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home broken into on Nov. 2. 

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić's home was burglarized at the end of December.
