While Tom Brady looks ahead, Patrick Mahomes is already there
Tom Brady's legendary career may be written in stone, but Patrick Mahomes is busy carving his own chapter in real time. With three Super Bowl titles, MVP honors, and an ever-growing highlight reel, Mahomes has become more than a generational quarterback, he's a cultural icon.
His electrifying play style, clutch performances, and ability to reinvent the game keep fans glued to every snap. He's redefining greatness not by chasing ghosts of the past, but by setting his own bar higher with each season.
At the 2024 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid, an unexpected moment unfolded when Brady made a remark that quickly turned everyone's attention toward what's ahead. "I'm excited. The Americans are obviously going to have a bit of an advantage, but it will be fun to watch other teams fight for the gold medal," Brady stated.
As reported by The Daily Mail, Brady is "serious" about the idea of joining Team USA's flag football squad for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where the sport will debut as an official Olympic event. He'll be 50 years old by then. 'He wants a gold medal. And what better way to stay GOAT - the greatest of all time - than to get back in the game and help your country win?' an insider reportedly told The Daily Mail.
The Olympic Games, known for celebrating new heroes, might welcome Brady with fanfare if he decides to lace up once more.

Soccer-Serial winner Montemurro confirmed as new coach of Australia's Matildas
SYDNEY, - Joe Montemurro was confirmed as the new coach of the Australian women's national team on Monday and handed the task of taking the Matildas to the Women's Asian Cup title on home soil next year. The 55-year-old Australian moves from Lyon Women to replace Tom Sermanni, who has held the role on a caretaker basis since Tony Gustavsson departed in the wake of last year's disappointing Olympic campaign in Paris. "Joe brings world-class experience, a deep understanding of the Australian football landscape, and a genuine connection to our national identity," Football Australia interim Chief Executive Heather Garriock said in a statement. "Importantly, he has spent the last decade coaching at the very highest levels of the women's game in Europe and brings with him an unparalleled understanding of what is required to compete and succeed at the top of modern football. The Matildas have established themselves as one of Australia's most popular sports teams but despite runs to the latter stages of the Olympic Games in 2021 and the Women's World Cup on home soil two years later, silverware has been sparse. Serial winner Montemurro, who said the appointment was the "honour of a lifetime", will be expected to change all that. "This team means so much to so many Australians, and I'm humbled by the opportunity to help shape its next chapter," he said. "There's a generation of talent coming through and major tournaments on the horizon. My job is to honour the legacy, harness the momentum, and help this team play football that inspires and unites the country."

Chiefs' 2025 comeback mission begins with Super Bowl heartbreak and Patrick Mahomes' hunger for revenge
Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs lock in on redemption after Super Bowl 59 heartbreak (Getty Images) There's no greater motivator in sports than defeat, and for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the sting of Super Bowl 59 is still fresh. Despite being one of the most dominant teams in the NFL over the past six years, their brutal 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles has become a moment of reckoning—a humbling defeat that could either signal the end of an era or spark the fire for a legendary comeback. Chiefs turn Super Bowl 59 agony into ammo as Patrick Mahomes plots fiery 2025 resurgence The Chiefs have been the standard-bearers for winning in recent years. Since Mahomes took over as the starter in 2018, Kansas City has secured seven straight AFC West titles and three Super Bowl rings. They were one game away from completing a historic three-peat, only to fall hard on the NFL's grandest stage in New Orleans. That loss not only shattered their dream run but also left many questioning if their dominance was finally coming to an end. Chiefs Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Select Players Speak with the Media | MAY 29, 2025 Yet, Mahomes isn't dwelling on doubt. Instead, he's turning it into drive. 'Every team's different, and you don't want to miss an opportunity, but when you lose a Super Bowl, I think there's sometimes in those workouts where you may be a little tired, you have that extra added motivation to finish even harder,' Mahomes said. These aren't just words. They reflect a deeper understanding that the fire to reclaim greatness often burns brightest after the toughest losses. "I think it'll be good for us at the end of the day. Looking back, you want to win the game, but a lot of these guys hadn't lost one, hadn't ended the season on a loss, so I'm sure they'll be motivated to go back out there and try to find a way to get to the Super Bowl and win it this year." The Super Bowl defeat wasn't just another loss—it was an emotional body blow. For many of Kansas City's younger stars, like Trent McDuffie, George Karlaftis, and Isiah Pacheco from the 2022 draft class, it was the first time they experienced ending a season in disappointment. And that taste of defeat? It's become a rallying cry. 'It definitely serves as motivation going into the season. You never want to end the season like that,' Karlaftis said during OTAs. 'It's gonna be motivation for this year for sure.' The blowout loss exposed some glaring flaws, especially on offense. The Chiefs' offensive line collapsed under pressure, allowing Mahomes to be sacked a career-high 36 times last season—including six times in the Super Bowl alone. His passing game also took a dip, recording a career-low 245 yards per game and tying his career-low of 26 touchdown passes. These numbers paint the picture of a team that, despite its pedigree, showed vulnerability at the worst time. But what separates great teams from good ones is how they respond. And the Chiefs are responding with urgency. From top to bottom, there's a renewed focus on addressing the issues that led to their downfall—revamping the offensive line, reigniting the passing attack, and rebuilding chemistry with a roster that's seen both youth rise and veterans age. Still, critics are circling. Some believe Kansas City's reign is over. The idea of the 'falling empire' looms large. But if history has shown anything, it's that Mahomes and company thrive under pressure. Every time they've been doubted, they've bounced back stronger. 'When you lose a Super Bowl…you have that extra added motivation to finish even harder, finish even stronger,' Mahomes reiterated. And that's exactly the mindset driving Kansas City into the 2025 season—a season not just about redemption, but about proving they're far from done. So, can they do it again? Can the Chiefs rise from the ashes of Super Bowl 59 and reclaim their throne? One thing is certain: they're not going down without a fight.
