Mahomes cleared concussion protocol this week to play in Sunday's AFC Championship game in which he torched the Bills defense for 325 yards & 3TDs on 29-38 passing

With the Super Bowl berth, Patrick Mahomes will become the youngest QB in NFL history with two Super Bowl starts

His foe, Tom Brady, is getting the spotlight with his remarkable return to the NFL's brightest stage as a 43-year-old geezer

Mahomes is showing that poise, dominance, and clutchness can exist at both ends of the age spectrum

After edging the Packers 31-26 in Lambeau Field, Tom Brady led the Bucs to Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay

Brady has thus clinched his tenth Super Bowl appearance in the last two decades -- four more than the next closest player all-time

To put this in context, he's played in half the Super Bowls of an average college junior's life span

Tom Brady holds a 6-3 record in his first nine Super Bowl appearances. Let's see if he can add one more exclamation point to his standing as the NFL's GOAT

Hank Aaron, one of baseball's greats and a civil rights leader, died on Friday at age 86

Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run records and held that record for decades. He was black, and subject to frequent death threats and verbal attacks

Muhammad Ali famously called Aaron “the only man I idolize more than myself,” and he is considered to be a civil rights and sports icon for generations of Americans

Aaron has records of 2,297 RBIs, 6,856 total bases, and 1,477 extra-base hits. He spent most of his career on the Braves

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been cleared from the concussion protocol, setting up his showdown with Josh Allen on Sunday

Both games are on Sunday

It's Buccaneers at Packers, Sunday at 3:05 PM. Packers are 3.5 point favorites, with an over/under of 52

Bills play at Kansas City at 6:40 PM. Chiefs are the 3.5 point favorites there, with an over/under of 54

The 15th overall pick from 2019 Dwayne Haskins had a promising first year and a disastrous second year as a QB for the Washington Football Team

Weeks after the Football Team waived him, the Steelers jumped in and signed Dwayne Haskins to a one-year deal

The Steelers have gambled on promising QBs with behavior issues in the past such as Byron Leftwich and Michael Vick. Haskins has a high ceiling but remains a major wild card

With Big Ben's career winding down or even ending, the Steelers need depth at QB. Mason Rudolph and Josh Dobbs are the only other QBs on the roster now

Brittany Brees, the wife of Drew Brees, revealed in an Instagram post that Brees was battling more than the 11 fractured ribs and collapsed lung for which he missed four games earlier this year

She claims that Drew also played with a torn rotator cuff and torn fascia in his foot on Sunday night against Tom Brady's Bucs

Brees' lackluster performance was likely his last in the NFL capping off a magnificent career for the future Hall of Famer

Rumors are flying that he'll retire from the Saints and join the NBC commentator booth

The bare minimum you can pay to get into Arrowhead Stadium for the Bills-Chiefs AFC Championship game on Sunday is $890. The average ticket price is $1,332

Arrowhead usually seats over 76,000 but officials are capping attendance at 17,000 on Sunday

The Bucs-Packers NFC Championship in Lambeau Field will accommodate only 6,500. The secondary market is barren but experts estimate that tickets would start in the low thousands

The limited supply of tickets combined with the intrigue surrounding these heavyweight matchups is a sure formula for pricey tickets

NFL ref Sarah Thomas is set to become the first woman ever to officiate in a Super Bowl

She's a fifth-year ref and will serve as a down judge during the big game

She is one of 8 refs on the crew

Kyrie Irving continues to confound his teammates, coaches, and NBA fans with his perplexing behavior and claims

Sometimes you get a glimpse of Kyrie's better side as former NBA player Stephen Jackson said Kyrie bought a house for George Floyd's family over the summer

Kyrie is currently sitting out due to the storming of the Capitol -- according to the NY Post -- and his timeline to return remains unclear

Irving has been a vocal leader in the push for racial justice among NBA stars, and his alleged purchase of a home for Floyd's family show he's putting his money where his mouth is

Three months ago, if you were to have named the three biggest stars in Houston, you probably would've said James Harden, Deshaun Watson, and Russell Westbrook (maybe baseball snobs would've thrown in Justin Verlander)

In early December, Russell Westbrook was the first to leave H-Town as he pushed for a trade that sent him to Washington

More recently, James Harden finally got his wish to leave the Rockets when the Nets acquired him for four first-round draft picks & more

Now it appears that Houston could lose its NFL superstar QB Deshaun Watson who wants to get the hell out of H-Town too

After taking down Drew Brees' Saints 30-20 in Sunday's primetime matchup, Tom Brady clinched his 14th conference championship appearance in his career

That gives him double the appearances of the next closest QB, Joe Montana (Brady's childhood idol), who has played in seven

Brady has just one fewer conference championship appearances than Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers combined

Tom Brady is 9-4 in these games and goes head-to-head with presumptive MVP Aaron Rodgers

NFL playoff matchups don't get much better than what we'll have in the NFC and AFC championships this Sunday

After the Bucs took care of business against the Saints and the Packers handled the Rams, Tampa Bay will travel to Green Bay for the NFC championship game

In the AFC, the Bills and Chiefs will meet in Kansas City for the championship game after the Bills took out the Ravens and the Chiefs snuck past the Browns

With those matchups -- and assuming Mahomes will play -- Sunday will feature Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, and Josh Allen. Two Hall of Fame locks and two of the league's brightest young stars

A Korean report reveals that the forthcoming Apple Watch Series 7 will include a blood sugar measurement

The Apple Watch originally served as a device that would add convenience to the notification process but has evolved into a more health-oriented device

The watch will measure blood sugar levels via an optical sensor. 10% of Americans have diabetes and an estimated tens of millions more have undiagnosed cases

The Series 6 watch starts at $399 in Apple Stores. Apple has not yet announced the price of the Series 7 device

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently told Matthew McConaughey on his podcast that he merely "lives on a government salary." What Fauci didn't mentioned is that his is the highest salary in the entire federal government

In 2019, the last year for which federal salaries are available, Fauci raked in over $417,000. President Trump, on the other hand, earned $400,000 (all of which he donated)

Vice President Pence must've had an inferiority complex around Dr. Fauci since he pulled in a mere $235,000

The federal government pays 4 million employees and the controversial Coronavirus taskforce leader sat at the top of last year's ranking

In 2016, President Obama announced that Harriet Tubman would one day replace Andrew Jackson's on the $20 bill

The Trump Administration slowed down the plan, but Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki announced yesterday that they will accelerate the process to change the bill

Trump's Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced in 2019 that the Harriet Tubman $20 bill was on track to be printed by 2028 with the Treasury's new high-speed printers

The Biden Administration has not shared specifics on its expedited timeline for the change but plans to make this announcement in the coming months

A live-action Harry Potter series could be in the works that would revive the story of the book series with over 500 million copies sold worldwide

Hollywood Reporter broke a story yesterday saying that such a series is in extremely early development at HBO Max

The New York Post reached out to HBO Max which gave the incredibly vague answer of "no Harry Potter series is currently in development"

It's not clear if Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or any of the big-name Harry Potter actors would be involved or what part of the Harry Potter story would be explored (if any!)

President Biden has boosted his goal of 1M shots a day to 1.5M shots

He also said his hope is that anyone who wants a shot will be able to get one by the spring

Biden is asking Congress for $400B to fund an expanded vaccination drive, including with more vaccination sites and improved logistics

"We are in this for a while," he said, but said he believes by summer we should be well on our way to heading toward herd immunity"

2 separate research groups have identified a mutation to the coronavirus found in California

They think the mutation makes the strain more contagious, and believe it may have accelerated the virus's spread across the state

California has recorded more cases than any other state, and southern California has faced a case surge in recent months

Yesterday, the state relaxed its nearly state-wide stay at home order, allowing people to resume dining outside and other non-essential activities

Moderna announced it is developing a Covid booster shot to combat the South African strain of the coronavirus

Moderna has said that its vaccine is effective against the strain, but potentially less-so than it is against the primary coronavirus strain, especially in older people

Studies showed that the immune response to the South African variant was relatively weak, meaning people may need a booster shot for protection against it

Moderna's CEO said it is doing this "out of an abundance of caution." The timeline on the booster is not yet clear

Asked yesterday whether Americans should consider wearing two masks, Fauci suggested they should

“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” Dr. Fauci said

The CDC recommends that people wear a mask with "two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric"

New cases are falling, with average daily cases at their lowest level since early December. About 80k fewer people are contracting Covid daily than in early Jan
