The ‘polarizing’ Chiefs overtook the Cowboys and are officially America’s Team | First Things First
–>
The NFL schedule will fully be released later tonight and the Kansas City Chiefs are notably playing on both Thanksgiving and Christmas this season. They are the first team since the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2016 to play on both holidays. This raises the topic of whether they are the new America’s Team instead of the Dallas Cowboys. Nick Wright explains how his “polarizing” Chiefs overtook the Cowboys as America’s Team. Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes and Greg Jennings chime in.
Houston Texans 2025 Record Prediction
Ben Arthur: The Texans’ Super Bowl-caliber defense has gotten even better this offseason with the addition of former Eagle C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who had six interceptions last season. But Houston’s offense is still filled with question marks. Its revamped offensive line looks underwhelming on paper, and, outside of Nico Collins, quarterback C.J. Stroud is expected to lean heavily on rookie receivers. That could mean some tough sledding with a first-place schedule, against opponents like the Bills and Bucs at home and the Chiefs, Rams and Ravens on the road. The Texans should be the team to beat in the AFC South once again, but they remain a step below true contention in the conference.

NEW YORK — When Jaylen Brown fouled out late in the third quarter Friday night, the Madison Square Garden crowd sent him off with waves goodbye.By then, the Celtics’ season was essentially over. Less than two weeks after they began the second round as overwhelming favorites, they were mashed by the Knicks 119-81 in a Game 6 debacle that Derrick White said “went left pretty quick.”AdvertisementWithout Jayson Tatum, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in Game 4, the Celtics trailed 64-37 at halftime and fell further behind after that. After picking up his sixth foul, Brown trudged toward the bench, knowing he hadn’t done enough to extend the series another game. He was crushed to lose the chance to earn a second consecutive championship but didn’t feel any differently about his team.“It was an honor to share the locker room with […]
MILWAUKEE — Carlos Correa is out with a concussion. Byron Buxton remains in concussion protocol, though the indications are that he’s not great, either. Even Willi Castro exited Friday’s contest with a right knee contusion.In just 36 hours, the red-hot Minnesota Twins lost three of their most important position players. But with the way Twins pitchers are throwing the ball, it doesn’t seem to matter who’s in the lineup.AdvertisementJoe Ryan continued his string of excellence and that of the overall pitching staff Friday night, striking out nine over six scoreless innings as the Twins extended their major-league-best winning streak to 12 games with a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The Twins offense provided Ryan with three early runs, and he and three relievers made it hold, striking out 16 batters in a five-hit shutout that […]
NEW YORK — Head coach Tom Thibodeau made his expectations clear back in September. Yes, the Knicks had just won 50 games, finished with the second seed in the East and made it to the second round of the playoffs. But that was last year.This year’s Knicks would need to integrate new pieces — would need to develop new habits, forge new bonds. You don’t just respawn at the same point you ended at last year; if you want to get to the promised land, you can’t skip any steps.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“It's a long grind, and you prepare for that, and I would think that you begin with the end in mind,” Thibodeau said at Knicks media day. “What’s it going to take at the end for us?”It’s tempting to say that it’s going to take exactly what they got on Friday […]
DALLAS — Napheesa Collier texted Paige Bueckers Friday morning. From one UConn champion to another, Collier wished the rookie well. “Good luck tonight!” Collier wrote. “Don’t do too much against us, wait till your next game.”Waiting isn’t in Bueckers’ DNA. As someone who has suffered through major injuries and been forced to sit out a full season of her college career, she never takes a single game for granted. And the ultimate respect she could give a fellow Huskies alumna was competing her hardest and trying to bring the best out of Collier.AdvertisementCollier, in her seventh season, brought her A-game. Bueckers, in her first WNBA contest, still has room to grow to reach that level, finishing with 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting. But the rookie was happy to finally get an important milestone out of the way in Dallas’ 99-84 […]
<!--> The beginning of Major League Baseball's Rivalry Weekend series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates was also an ending of sorts. Before the season, NBC Sports Philadelphia announced it was changing the Phillies' logo on its scorebug from the letter "P" to "PHI."Normally, that would not be a story worthy of headlines. But by doing so, the broadcast deprived fans of a simple pleasure in life: seeing a "P00P" scoreboard whenever the Phillies faced off against the Pirates.
