WWE's 'The Miz' comments on Super Bowl LIX, American Century Championship training
WWE's 'The Miz' comments on Super Bowl LIX, American Century Championship training
This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about his training for this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe. He shares his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX and potential golf competition on the WWE roster.
"Training is going well. I am so devoted to doing well at the American Century Championship that I created my own YouTube channel, called MizGolf," said Miz, "where I am learning different tricks of the trade to get my swing dialed in for early July because I plan on winning. I want to win. I feel like I have the IQ to win. I'm just hoping that my swing is doing exactly what I want it to do on the day of the tournament."
WWE is having two events in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 7th: 'Worlds Collide' at the Kia Forum and Money in the Bank at the Intuit Dome. Miz, a career grand slam champion with the company, made it clear without hesitation that he is the best golfer in WWE.
"Me, I'm the only golfer in WWE. I think Jimmy Uso just started golfing, so you can't really put him in that category, but I think I'm really the only real golfer in WWE, as of right now."
Although the Chiefs' loss in Super Bowl LIX was disappointing, according to the Miz, it was more about the Eagles players rallying around their head coach, Nick Sirianni, for motivation.
"I think everyone was a little shocked, especially the way the Eagles (won); first, at the beginning of the season, people were asking for Sirianni's head, like they wanted him fired, and this guy goes on to win the Super Bowl," said Miz, "Think about that, the pressure your fanbase started to go against you. The news media outlets are talking negatively about you, and you can rally this team behind you and take them all the way to the Super Bowl. They developed an amazing team and a franchise. I'm hoping the (Cleveland) Browns can follow in their footsteps."
The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC, along with a first-place prize of $150,000, makes the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.

Tom Rafferty, an offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, dies at 70
WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) — Tom Rafferty, an offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl and played with two Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman over 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, has died. He was 70. Rafferty died Thursday in Windsor, Colorado, where he had been hospitalized since early May following a stroke, his daughter, Rachel Powers, told The Dallas Morning News. A year after getting drafted out of Penn State, Rafferty's first season as a starter was at right guard in 1977, which ended with the Cowboys' 27-10 victory over Denver in Super Bowl 12. He played the same position a year later when the Cowboys lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-31 in the title game. After a move to center, Rafferty threw one of the key blocks on Tony Dorsett's record 99-yard touchdown run in a 31-27 loss at Minnesota on Jan. 3, 1983. Dallas had 10 men on the field for that famous play. Rafferty's final season was Aikman's rookie year in 1989, when he started eight games at center for a 1-15 team. Rafferty is one of 12 Dallas players to spend at least 14 seasons with the franchise. He was teammates with seven players on that list. ___ AP NFL:

Estancia High Eagles soar to new heights, celebrating a victory for the class of 2025
Estancia High School was a scene of excited anticipation Thursday, as Eagles with the class of 2025 spread their wings and took flight toward future horizons, celebrating their collective and individual accomplishments during their time on the Costa Mesa campus. In a commencement ceremony at the school's Jim Scott stadium, a crowd of 243 graduating seniors were cheered on from the sidelines by family members, friends and loved ones as they received their diplomas. With words of inspiration and reflection offered by Principal Mike Halt, along with student speakers Charlie Sabori, Jose Gomez and Mario Solis, it was time for graduates to be confirmed and to turn their tassels, signifying the official completion of their high school careers. Sixty-five percent of this year's graduates plan to attend two-year colleges, while another 25% will enroll in four-year colleges or universities. Three students announced plans to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps, according to figures provided by the school. A group of 50 students earned a combined $50,000 in scholarships this year, while senior Julie Ortega Avila earned the special distinction of completing coursework in two separate Career Technical Education pathways — the Medical Academy and the Building Industry Technology Academy — the first Eagle to accomplish such a feat. Class notes indicate 57 students, nearly 24% of graduates, earned the State Seal of Biliteracy. Indicated by a gold seal on their diplomas, the honor certifies attainment of a high level of proficiency in two or more languages. The number of seal recipients this year sets an EHS record.
