Patrick Mahomes reveals he's spoken to Tom Brady a ‘good amount' this offseason after Super Bowl flop
During an appearance Monday on FanDuel's 'Up & Adams' show, the Chiefs quarterback shared that he's conversed with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady a 'good amount' as he prepares for his ninth season in the league.
'I've talked to Tom a good amount this offseason, and it's cool that he wants to give me advice, he doesn't have to be like that, he's such a good dude and I have so much respect for him and I'll take any advice he gives me,' Mahomes said.

Brady, 47, and Mahomes, 29, squared off six times before the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback called it a career in 2023 after 23 seasons.
Although Mahomes topped Brady three times in the regular season, the Chiefs fell to the NFL legend twice in the postseason, with the most recent being Tampa Bay's 31-9 triumph over Kansas City in Super Bowl 2021.
Brady, now preparing for his second season as Fox's lead NFL analyst, recently said that if there's one QB who can possibly replicate his success, it's Mahomes — a compliment the three-time Super Bowl winner doesn't take lightly.

'Having Tom, a guy like that say that, just motivates me even more,' Mahomes told Kay Adams Monday.
Mahomes and the Chiefs are looking ahead after a disappointing conclusion to the 2024 season: a lopsided 40-22 Super Bowl loss to the Eagles in February.
Though Mahomes was tight-lipped about Brady's secrets, he did stress the importance of being authentic.

'He always talks about being yourself,' Mahomes said of Brady. 'Guys can spot when you're not authentic and you're not putting in the work. That's something that he did every single day. That's why guys respected him so much.'
Brady spent the first 20 years of his career in New England, where he won six of his seven Super Bowls.

Joe Pavelski, Taylor Twellman share lead in American Century celebrity golf tournament
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. (AP) — Former NHL player Joe Pavelski birdied the final three holes Saturday for a share of the second-round lead with former soccer player Taylor Twellman in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe. Pavelski, the first-round leader who finished second last year behind former tennis player Mardy Fish, had a 21-point day in the modified Stableford scoring system to match Twellman at 44. Twellman had a 23-point round. 'Obviously, Twellman has been playing great,' Pavelski said. 'To finish birdie, birdie, birdie and be tied with him, I'll take that all day.' Country star Jake Owen was third at 41 after a 25-point round, and Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen was another point back following a 21-point day. Former LPGA Tour star Annika Sorenstam scored 20 points to reach 37. Three-time champions Tony Romo (18) and Mark Mulder (21) were at 36 with John Smoltz (19). Stephen Curry, the 2023 champion, had a 14-point round to join Fish (18) at 35. Charles Barkley lost 16 points to drop from a tie for 24th to a tie for 61st in the 90-player field. He had minus-7 points overall. Former baseball player Jimmy Rollins had a hole-in-one on the 154-yard, par-3 12th. He won a $325,000 Mastercraft boat. ___ AP golf:

Arizona Cardinals to face 6 top-10 pass rushers in 2025
The Cardinals do not have any edge rushers in ESPN's top 10 (no surprise) but will face many of them as opponents. As NFL training camp approaches for most NFL teams (the Los Angeles Chargers reported on Saturday), sites continue to publish lists, rankings and predictions. ESPN has been revealing player rankings at different positions, but with a twist. They are based on the votes of coaches, scouts and executives. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler revealed the rankings for the edge rushers — the top 10 and four honorable mentions. While the Cardinals upgraded the position group this offseason with Josh Sweat, it is no surprise that no Cardinals players even get honorable mention. Sweat is good but he has never been mentioned as a top-10 EDGE. The Cardinals do, though, face a few of them. NFL edge rusher rankings: Which do the Cardinals face in 2025? The Cardinals will face six of the top 10, playing two in one game, while another two players are in the NFC West and will see the Cardinals twice. The Cardinals have good tackles in Paris Johnson and Jonah Williams, but they will be tested in 2025. In fact, they will have top pass rushers in four of their final five games of the season.
