Sophie Cunningham's schedule calls for missing the restaurant opening
The topic came up when Cunningham's co-host, TV personality West Wilson, mentioned the restaurant's upcoming grand opening. Cunningham sparked intrigue, though, after hinting that she received an invitation to that event.
Wilson revealed he got an invite, too. However, Cunningham noted that she might not be able to attend it. She didn't specify why; it's likely due to a scheduling conflict with the Indiana Fever's season, highlighting her commitment to her team.
Wilson, however, seemed open to attending.

As a die-hard Chiefs fan, Cunningham would likely take the chance to attend the opening and possibly meet Mahomes and Kelce. Yet, her dedication to the Fever takes priority, emphasizing her focus on the team's goals this season.
The buzz around 1587 Prime shows how great the influence of Mahomes and Kelce has been off the field.

's exit
On the same podcast, Sophie Cunningham addressed the sudden departure of her former teammate DeWanna Bonner in July. Reflecting on her initial reaction, Cunningham admitted, "I could have been way meaner,". She emphasizes being held back despite feeling that Bonner misunderstood her comments. While there's evident tension, Cunningham expressed goodwill toward Bonner, stating, "I'm still rooting for her, I want her to be happy.

"
However, she stressed the importance of professionalism, suggesting Bonner could have handled her exit better by reaching out to her teammates. "Send a text to your teammates. 'Hey guys, sorry this didn't work out, good luck,'" Cunningham advised, highlighting a respectful way to part ways.
When co-host West Wilson inquired if Bonner had communicated with the team before her trade to the Phoenix Mercury, Cunningham shook her head, indicating no contact, not even privately. Wilson responded, 'That's tough,' acknowledging the lack of closure.

Fever overcomes Caitlin Clark's absence and 3 season-ending injuries to stay in WNBA playoff hunt
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White returned to her home state to win a championship. HT Image She knew that meant navigating a series of obstacles and, of course, a daunting schedule of top teams and great players. She figured with the Fever dubbed a preseason title contender, opponents would play their best against Indiana. White never envisioned how off script things could go. An injured right groin and subsequent bone bruise suffered while recovering have kept two-time All-Star guard Caitlin Clark out since July 15, and there's still no timetable for her return. Backup guards Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson had season-ending injuries in the same game, Aug. 7 at Phoenix. Then Sunday, guard Sophie Cunningham sustained a season-ending knee injury. Still, with nine regular season games remaining, the resilient Fever are somehow still in playoff position. Indiana held the sixth seed entering Thursday night, two games clear of ninth-place Los Angeles. 'We have a group that's ready to respond. There's a difference in reacting to situations and responding to situations and this group responds and that fuels us,' White said. 'You've got two options, right? You can fight or you can fold, and we aren't folding." Clark previously missed time with two different muscle injuries, and the Fever didn't give in then, either. Clark injured her left quad in May, then missed the WNBA's Commissioner's Cup title game in July because of an injured left groin. The Fever still beat Minnesota 74-59. This stretch has been far more stressful for everyone, though. Instead of leaning on the experience and depth team executives added during the offseason, White finds herself juggling lineups, managing roster moves and reteaching Indiana's playbook. White entered the league as a player in 1999 and says she can't remember enduring anything like it. Clark has missed 22 of the Fever's 35 games this season, a number that seems almost certain to increase Friday night in the first of two home weekend games against league-leading Minnesota. After losing to defending champion New York in the first two games of Clark's latest absence, the Fever reeled off five straight wins. They're also 2-2 since McDonald and Colson went down — losing by a total of five points. And when Cunningham got hurt Sunday, Indiana rallied from a 21-point deficit to win in overtime at Connecticut. The emotional toll of watching all this, again, brought White to tears in her postgame news conference. So instead of breaking down what's been lost, Indiana is fighting back with what it has. 'When I say you have to have a good culture, you have to have good people in your locker room, you have to have decent humans for this thing to keep rolling,' All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell said. 'I think when people have bad days and bad things happen, I think you have to lean on internal relationships with one another to make it not feel so horrible.' Mitchell has upped her game, averaging a career best 20.4 points while dishing out 3.4 assists, nearly double last season's total. All-Star center Aliyah Boston has improved her passing this season and has teamed up with forward Natasha Howard to give the Fever a stronger inside presence. White also wants Mitchell and others to help provide extra energy after losing two of her most vocal players. The combination has everyone believing they can finish strong — with or without Clark. 'I think it's easy (to give up) when your point guards go down and your top 3-point shooter goes down, it's hard to stay like happy and want to work for something,' said guard Shey Peddy, Indiana's newest player. 'You can tell everybody's together here. They still want to fight. They still know we have a chance to make the playoffs. Nobody has given up.' White wouldn't expect anything less. 'I told the team at halftime (Sunday), we've been dealt a crappy hand, and we've got to play it,' she said. 'They have been so connected, they have stayed together, and they have found a way and because of that, it's put us in position to win ballgames and we're going to continue to battle.' ___ AP WNBA:

The location inside the Loews Kansas City Hotel puts the restaurant in a prime spot (pun fully intended), and with the NFL season just around the corner – starting with Kansas City's opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil on September 5 – the timing couldn't be better.

Skyy Moore moves from 4-time Super Bowl-winning team to 5-time Super Bowl-winning team
(Image via Getty: Skyy Moore) When an NFL team doesn't reach its three-peat, it looks for flaws that could have been the reason for it. The 4-time Super Bowl-winning team, the Kansas City Chiefs, are concentrating on their 2022 NFL Draft's second round, 54th overall pick–Skyy Moore. Despite being a two-time Super Bowl champion at the start of his NFL career, Moore only delivered–43 receptions for 494 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in 36 games. This underproduction could have been a key factor in the changes the Chiefs want to make before they enter the 2025 NFL season. As a result, they have decided to trade their wide receiver Skyy Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick to their Super Bowl rivals, the San Francisco 49ers. In exchange, the Chiefs will acquire a 2027 sixth-round draft choice from the 5-time Super Bowl-winning team. San Francisco 49ers need help in wide receiver room Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports says it's a win-win situation for the wideout Skyy Moore and the San Francisco 49ers. Moore goes back to square one and can write a new NFL chapter with another playoff-level contending team–while the 49ers get to revitalize their wide receiver room. The 49ers will be without their star wideouts, Brandon Aiyuk and Demarcus Robinson, in the early weeks of the 2025 season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A Tree Blocked This Garage for Years - See What's Inside! Tips and Tricks Undo Aiyuk is recovering from a knee injury. Robinson is suspended for three games for violating the NFL's Substance Abuse policy. Their other wide receiver, Jauan Jennings, is suffering from a calf injury and wants to be traded if there are no changes to his contract (he was the second-leading receiver last season). Rookie wideout Jordan Watkins is suffering from a high-ankle sprain since he played against the Denver Broncos in the NFL preseason's first game. Wide receiver Jacob Cowing is dealing with a hamstring injury since the first practice of the training camp. Skyy Moore could be the answer to these hurdles. But before we even begin the drum-rolling, who informed cyberspace about the trade in the first place? NFL Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo announce Skyy Moore trade on X On August 21, Ian Rapoport, National Insider for NFL Network , wrote on his X: 'Trade! The #Chiefs have traded Skyy Moore to the #49ers in a swap of future 6th and 7th round picks.' Tom Pelissero, American Football Reporter for NFL Network, wrote on his X: 'Trade! The #Chiefs send Skyy Moore to the #49ers. The teams will swap sixth- and seventh-round picks in 2027.' Mike Garafolo, NFL Insider, wrote on his X: 'RT @RapSheet: Trade! The #Chiefs have traded Skyy Moore to the #49ers in 6/7 pick swap.'
