Kansas City Chiefs Superfan, who was known amongst the community as “Chiefsaholic” plead guilty to his connection to several bank robberies across seven states from 2022-23 earlier this year. Xaviar Babudar, known for wearing a grey wolf suit at Chiefs games at home and on the road, pleaded guilty to money laundering, transporting stolen property across state lines and bank robbery, . Babudar, 29, was facing 50 years in prison for his crimes, which U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore called a “violent crime spree across the Midwest.” Chiefsaholic became a bit of a myth and legend to some as it took…

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs  are preparing to kick off the NFL season on Thursday night against the Ravens — and with a third-straight Super Bowl looking like a real possibility for Patrick Mahomes and company — the NFL is smart to highlight the reigning champions on national television to kick off the 2024 season. Why? Beyond the allure of watching  Mahomes — who love him, or hate him — has become one of the most electrifying QBs in the NFL, pulling off one or two insane highlight-worthy plays at minimum per game, there’s a much bigger storyline…

The Dallas Cowboys are about to embark on a season that could quite possibly be the last run for the recent roster, with staples on both side of the ball in tact over the last few seasons. With Dak Prescott at QB, CeeDee Lamb at WR and defensive stars like Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and Trevon Diggs, the Cowboys have finished the last three seasons with an impressive 12-5 record heading into playoffs. Yet for whatever reason, Prescott has struggled mightily when the games matter the most —and in last year’s case — the team’s top-3 defense was torched by…

The Terps took care of business, with a commanding (50-7) victory to start the season, but the game held special meaning for McLaurin, Robert Todd McLaurin and his cousin, Kirk, were killed in a tragic hit-and-run accident in Harlem, New York earlier this week. The 40-year-old father of Terps running back and his cousin were killed on Aug. 24. “Gut wrenching story. Robert Todd McLaurin and cousin Kirk were killed in a hit & run on the…

The Dallas Cowboys are entering one of the most important seasons in recent history. . After three-straight regular seasons where Dallas finished with 12 wins, Dak Prescott and company have continued to choke in the playoffs despite having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. After the Cowboys fell to the Packers in a surprise upset in the Wildcard Round last year, there was a general sentiment amongst NFL insiders that Jerry Jones might blow the whole thing up. Instead, he decided to ride with Mike McCarthy — who is entering the final year of his contract — and…

The Dallas Cowboys are “all in” for 2024 according to Jerry Jones. After an entire offseason of sitting on their hands, the Cowboys finally inked one of their best players, All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb to a contract extension on Monday making him the second highest-paid non-QB in the NFL just behind Justin Jefferson. That was a significant move that most believe should have been made a long time ago. Still, if Mike McCarthy can’t lead this Dallas Cowboys 2024 team to a deep playoff run, the roster could look very different next season and there will likely be a new…
