Super Bowl - English
Travis Kelce - English
The Kansas City Chiefs‘ Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have been the faces of the dynasty that has secured five Super Bowl appearances and three rings since taking off in the 2019/20 NFL season, but where do they actually keep their honors?
Victories over the San Francisco 49ers (twice) and the Philadelphia Eagles catapulted the Arrowhead Stadium from merely a competitive franchise to the most dominant powerhouse in football.
That was led by the exceptional quarterback and elite tight end, who boast an intimate connection that allows them to understand exactly where the other will be and when to repeatedly head into the end zone.
The pair have linked up for 8126 receiving yards and 56 touchdowns through 109 games, with 1784 yards and 19 scores coming exclusively through their postseason efforts.
So, with more success than they know to do with, how exactly do they feel about their triumphs and where do they store the hardware memorabilia of those famous nights in Kansas City and beyond?
Speaking after the Chiefs received their AFC championship rings following a hard-fought 2024 season that ended in Super Bowl defeat, Patrick admitted he treats some successes differently.
“I’ll put it this way, I put some in my safe, I put the other ones on top of my safe,” Mahomes said, according to Sports Radio 810 WHB, reinforcing the idea that some rings are more important than others.
It’s unclear if the 29-year-old stores his Super Bowl-winning rings outside of the safe to remind himself of his quality and talent, or if he uses the rings from the seasons he didn’t win it all to drive his hunger and mentality. Travis, meanwhile, left no illusions.
“I’m only interested in Super Bowl rings,” Kelce said, per ESPN. “I know what the AFC championship means to this organization and the (Hunt) family and the 15 wins and everything is something special that I’ll let everybody else be happy with.
“Last year wasn’t a success for me and I’m motivated to make sure that we get that other ring this year.”
Chiefs hungry to avenge Super Bowl loss
Kelce‘s remarks underscore a shared sentiment within the Chiefs’ locker room: conference titles, while meaningful, fall short of the ultimate objective, especially after a 2024 campaign that was supposed to be historic and unprecedented.
Had Kansas City defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, they would have completed the NFL‘s first-ever three-peat, losing 40-22 to a dominant opponent that dictated the game masterfully on offense and defense.
That loss has become a rallying point for the Chiefs‘ veteran leaders as they prepare for the 2025 season and Mahomes, reflecting on the upcoming year after the team’s minicamp, spoke about the focus needed to return to the league’s summit.
“You want to be the top offense in the league when you step in the building every single day,” Mahomes said. “But the end of the day, you want to win the Super Bowl.
“For me, I wasn’t as disappointed in not being the top offense as I was at losing the Super Bowl last year, especially the way we lost it.”
“Our goal is to do whatever we can to win the football game and hopefully for us, that includes being the top offense to go along with the great defense that we have.”

Caitlin Clark Eager to Move Forward After Viral Fever-Sun Scuffle
<!--> Caitlin Clark has no interest in rehashing Indiana's physical, testy win against Connecticut when she was shoved to the floor by Marina Mabrey.Mabrey's hit on Clark in Tuesday night's game was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 on Wednesday."I think Steph (Fever coach Stephanie White) talked about it plenty after the last game and it is what it is, you move on," Clark said Thursday before playing the Golden State Valkyries in her first visit to San Francisco.

Wilmer Flores comes through in a pinch, wins the day for Giants
SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants shook up the baseball world on Sunday when they acquired Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox, and although pragmatism will never prevent the punditry from declaring instant winners and losers, the truth is it’ll take a year or five before anyone can conduct a full accounting of the deal.AdvertisementBut the second-order effects on both rosters following a blockbuster trade? The winners and losers in uniform? Those are a bit easier to analyze in real time. For Wilmer Flores, a broken-down player last season who opted into the last year of his contract, who might have come within one bad spring training from becoming a writeoff, who instead reestablished himself as a dangerous situational hitter and who entered the week with the fifth most RBIs among National League players, the Devers trade had a clear […]

Jett Washington commits to Oregon: Five-star safety, nephew of Kobe Bryant, tops Ducks’ 2026 recruiting class
Five-star safety Jett Washington, the nephew of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, committed to play his college football at Oregon on Thursday. The Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman product will join the Ducks' haul as the No. 18 overall recruit and second-ranked safety in the 2026 class, per 247Sports.Washington trimmed his list to the trio of Oregon, USC and Alabama and took an official visit to each of those schools over the last three weeks. He was initially set to stop at Ohio State, too, but he replaced the Buckeyes visit with a return trip to Oregon. The Ducks and Crimson Tide were long considered favorites to contend for Washington's commitment as they were the first two programs to schedule official visits with the blue-chip talent. In the end, Oregon won out, easing the sting of losing out on five-star athlete Brandon […]
MLB Roundtable: Can the Giants count on Devers? How will the Red Sox rebound?
Rowan Kavner MLB Writer Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> Major League Baseball was rocked by the trade that sent Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants earlier this week. Since then, Devers has made Giants debut, and the Red Sox have played their first game without him.In this week's MLB roundtable, FOX Sports' Rowan Kavner and Deesha Thosar share their early impressions of the Devers trade, and discuss other big topics around the league:1. Juan Soto was notably struggling — well, for Juan Soto — in the first two months of the season, but he’s batting .351/.519/.737 with six homers in his last 17 games. Is it fair to say that we can turn the page now and start his Mets career for real, or are there lingering concerns?Kavner: I’m not concerned at all. I […]
