LOS ANGELES — Darrell Doucette didn't mean any disrespect. All the U.S. flag football star wanted to do in an interview that went more viral than any of his numerous highlights was to fight for his sport.

So when he told TMZ in 2024 that he is "better than Patrick Mahomes" at flag football for his IQ of the sport, the generally soft-spoken ...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At times to a certain furious excess over the years, Travis Kelce’s sheer passion has been as much a pillar of his Pro Football Hall of Fame-bound career as his hands, swiveling hips, sense of the field and chemistry with Alex Smith and, especially, Patrick Mahomes.
