Inside Randi Mahomes' journey
Before Patrick Mahomes became a household name and NFL superstar, his mother, Randi Mahomes, was quietly waging her own battle behind the scenes. Long before the draft day celebrations and championship rings, she was a single mom working two jobs, trying to make ends meet while supporting her son's growing dreams.
Reflecting on those tough years, Randi shared, "When Patrick was being recruited, I was working two jobs and trying to figure it all out as a single mom.
I didn't always know what to do and that's why I made this. It's everything I've learned and wish I knew to help you show up for your athlete, no matter their age," Randi said on Friday.
Her journey from working two jobs to founding the Sports Parent Academy speaks volumes about her resilience and deep desire to help other families navigate the unpredictable world of youth sports.
More than a mom: Randi Mahomes stands strong behind her son's success and service
Randi Mahomes strength goes beyond her own struggles.
From the sidelines to the spotlight, she remains a steady pillar of love and support for her children. Her unwavering commitment to family shines through in every step she takes.
That devotion was clear on a recent evening, as she proudly supported Patrick's foundation and shared, "A beautiful night supporting @PatrickMahomes and the incredible work of @15andMahomies alongside family! Grateful to witness the impact this foundation is making in the lives of so many deserving kids," she wrote on May 18.

IPL 2025 Final, RCB vs PBKS: Mood in Ahmedabad completely dry ahead of title clash
The mood in Ahmedabad is 'dry' ahead of the title decider (Image courtesy - Pratyush Raj of in Ahmedabad : Outside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, there are big cutouts of two captains Shreyas Iyer and Rajat Patidar. The handful of fans hoping to see Virat Kohli were perplexed to see the image of Rajat Patidar. "Who is he?," asked one of the fans outside Gate No. 1. The vendor, who was busy selling jerseys, replied angrily, "he is the captain of the team whose jersey you are buying." The poor guy had no clue about Rajat Patidar, and murmured, "wasn't Kohli the captain?" Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The vendors aren't particularly fans of the sport but they have a lot of hopes riding on the proceedings and the outcomes. "There isn't a buzz this time around. We failed to sell Rohit Sharma's jersey ahead of Qualifier 2, and now we are struggling to find buyers for Kohli's. We don't care who wins as long as we are selling jerseys. Hopefully, we will have more sales on Tuesday," said Krupal, before he started chanting the rates of the jerseys.

RCB PBKS Too close to call it Krupal and Aslam are not wrong about the mood ahead of the final. On Sunday, hardly 50,000 people turned up to watch the Qualifier 2 match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. There were no buyers for many of the hospitality boxes as they were empty. The IPL final, which was shifted to the world's biggest stadium in Ahmedabad, has failed to create any buzz in the city. Hyderabad and Kolkata were supposed to host the playoffs as per the original dates but the venues were changed citing "weather conditions." The rain, however, has continued to follow the business end of the cash-rich league as there was a heavy shower ahead of Qualifier 2 and a light spell is expected on Tuesday as well. Even if the weather permits and the match goes ahead, it would be interesting to see whether the title clash will be able to fill the Narendra Modi Stadium. In the pre-match press conference, both captains chose to keep cards close to their chests. Shreyas Iyer spoke about lack of sleep while a soft-spoken and very un-RCB-like captain Rajat Patidar reserved praise for the fans and vowed not to get bogged down by the unreal expectation. The PBKS players, tired from their rain-affected marathon match, didn't turn up for the training session. Captain Shreyas left the venue after the photo shoot but RCB did train for around two hours. IPL 2025 Winner Prediction: What Greenstone Lobo's Astrology says Once RCB left the ground, the pitch and the inner ring were immediately covered, and final touches were applied to the makeshift stage for the closing ceremony.

'See you at the FINAL tomorrow ❤️ What an honour this is!!!' Shivam Mahadevan shared his excitement on Instagram. Buzz or no buzz, one thing is for sure: there will be a new IPL champion. Between Bengaluru and Punjab, the wait of one franchise will end.

Tyreek Hill trade still in play as Dolphins weigh cap relief amid offseason turmoil
Tyreek Hill's $29M gamble ( Image credit: Imagn Images) The Miami Dolphins are making headlines with a bold financial commitment to wide receiver Tyreek Hill, locking in $29 million as part of a lucrative contract restructure. This high-stakes decision underscores the franchise's belief in Hill's long-term value, even as the star receiver faces personal and professional challenges. Dolphins bet big on Tyreek Hill despite dip and drama Tyreek Hill, known for his electrifying speed and game-changing plays, saw a dip in his 2024 performance, posting career-low stats in receptions and yardage. Despite missing the playoffs, Miami is doubling down on their faith in the 'Cheetah,' guaranteeing him $65 million over the next three seasons and solidifying a $90 million package through 2026. This move gives Hill the most fully guaranteed money ever earned by an NFL wide receiver without extending the contract—a landmark financial commitment in the league. However, this decision comes on the heels of a turbulent offseason. Hill's personal life made tabloid waves after his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, filed for divorce following an alleged domestic incident. Although no legal charges emerged, the episode cast a shadow over Hill's public image. From a team-building perspective, the Dolphins' restructuring creates cap flexibility while also betting on Hill's leadership and bounce-back potential. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pare a neuropatia: descubra como NeuroFit Undo It's a message to the league, Miami isn't panicking they're investing in their core, even amid controversy. Trade buzz grows as Dolphins weigh financial fallout in Tyreek Hill saga Still, trade speculation lingers. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the possibility of moving on from Hill isn't off the table. 'That could change in a couple of days. Given the realities of Hill's contract (re-done in 2024), it makes sense for the Dolphins to hold Hill until June 2 or later. That's when the cap consequences can be spread over two years.' 'For now, Hill has $28.296 million in unallocated bonus money that will hit the cap. A pre-June 1 trade means all of it lands in 2025. A post-June 1 trade limits the 2025 dead money to $12.728 million, with the remaining $15.568 million landing on the cap in 2026,' he wrote.

As the 2025 season looms, this $29 million gamble could either reestablish Hill as the league's most feared wideout or mark the beginning of a calculated exit from South Florida.

No green light yet: Aaron Rodgers reportedly hasn't given Steelers a firm answer on signing
Aaron Rodgers reportedly hasn't confirmed Steelers move, leaving NFL world buzzing with theories (Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers has long been known for his unpredictable nature, both on and off the field. But this offseason, it's not a headline-grabbing play or a controversial statement stirring buzz — it's his silence. The veteran quarterback has somehow become the most talked-about player without actually saying much, leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers — and the rest of the league — hanging in the balance. Steelers deal not done yet—Aaron Rodgers reportedly remains non-committal about joining team Aaron Rodgers' future has become one of the biggest mysteries of the offseason. His name has been heavily linked to the Steelers, especially after the New York Jets parted ways with the four-time MVP. Yet, despite the smoke, there's still no fire — no signature, no firm commitment, and definitely no public assurance. That void has only intensified speculation. On The Rich Eisen Show, NFL insider Tom Pelissero shed some light on the situation: "I have been told that he has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming... There's all these signs that he's coming, but he's not affirmatively said, 'Hey, June 9, book me the ticket, I'm coming in and I'm gonna join this team.' That has not happened as of this point." That ambiguity has left Pittsburgh in a tough spot. They went all in on Rodgers this offseason, even letting other viable options slip away. Russell Wilson moved to the New York Giants. Justin Fields signed with the Jets. And Kirk Cousins, while a potential target, carries a price tag too steep for a team banking on a cheaper solution. Steelers Trade Coming Soon? No More Aaron Rodgers? Despite Rodgers previously visiting the Steelers' facility and reportedly giving a verbal nod weeks ago, the front office has been met with radio silence. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently stated, "When I talk to people with the team, they say the same thing... they've remained optimistic that he will be a Steeler, but there is just nothing fast and firm yet on him signing with the team." Steelers' minicamp kicks off June 10, and every day without a decision cuts deeper into their preparation. In the meantime, Pittsburgh is doing what it can, continuing to develop Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard during OTAs. But it's clear — they're still holding their breath for Rodgers. The quarterback himself hasn't offered much clarity either. On The Pat McAfee Show, he admitted retirement remains on the table and mentioned personal matters playing a role in his indecision. He later appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, but avoided football altogether. He did, however, offer a tidbit on the You Know What I Mean podcast, confirming one thing: he won't play for the Chicago Bears. The uncertainty may have unintentionally worked in Pittsburgh's favor when it comes to scheduling. NFL insider Ari Meirov noted, 'The Steelers not having a QB yet — and the uncertainty around Aaron Rodgers — may have worked in their favor. They got just 4 primetime games… If Rodgers had signed, they likely would've had 6+ and some holiday slots.' Rodgers has expressed affection for his longtime team, saying, 'There's a lot of love for me and how I feel about the team... If they approached me about it, I probably would [retire as a Packer].' That statement, too, keeps the door open to walking away. At this point, the Steelers face a decision of their own. Wait indefinitely for a legend to make up his mind — or pivot and avoid being left at the altar. Because one thing's clear: only Aaron Rodgers knows what's coming next.
