-- Missouri Senate Passes Plan to Keep Both Chiefs & Royals --
Thu Jun 5, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports the Missouri Senate, faced with the inevitability of the Chiefs and Royals leaving for Kansas, passed on Thursday morning a plan to keep both teams from leaving. The consensus was reached at a time when many doubted the ability of the Senate to strike a deal. The legislation, which devotes more than $1.5 billion to the football and baseball stadiums, was crafted at a special session called by governor Mike Kehoe. To get there, Senate Republicans increased the aid package for recent St. Louis tornadoes from $25 million to $100 million. This lured enough Democrats to support such a large expenditure for a pair of private businesses that arguably don’t need to be subsidized by taxpayers. Ultimately, the stadium effort prevailed by a vote of 19-13. The GOP-controlled House is expected to adopt the plan on Monday. For the Chiefs, Missouri will kick half of the $1.15 billion needed for renovations to Arrowhead Stadium. This doesn’t mean the deal is done. The Chiefs could still choose to go to Kansas, where a new stadium would be built. While the team’s lease runs through 2030, Kansas has said its offer expires on June 30.

Browns defensive end Myles Garrett recently set the high bar for edge rushers with a deal averaging $40 million per season and it is reasonable to guess that Watt is looking for something in that neighborhood as well.

Sun Jun 1, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell is heading into his fifth year as the head coach, and he has revitalized a franchise that was in bad shape before he arrived. But there are also questions about his team, which lost its offensive and defensive coordinators, had a rash of injuries on defense, and has a difficult schedule with a preseason that starts early. Campbell was asked about any concerns he might have and dismissed the idea that he would be worried about anything at all. “I’m not worried that we don’t have pass rush, I’m not worried that we lost two coordinators, I’m not worried about injuries, I’m not worried about the Hall of Fame Game, I’m not worried about the schedule,” Campbell said. “I think it’s perfect. I think it lines up perfect. I think it’s gonna be what’s best for us with where we’re at going into 2025, my fifth year, the corps of the team’s fifth year. I really think it’s exactly what we’re going to need. The timing is perfect.”

Sat May 31, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

Sat May 31, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

Fox 4 reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice continues to face criminal and civil proceedings in the aftermath of a March 2024 street-racing crash in Dallas. A third lawsuit has now been filed against him. Kayla Quinn alleges that she and her son sustained physical and mental injuries when their car was struck during the race involving Rice. They sued both Rice and former SMU football player Theodore Knox. Quinn and her son seek between $250,000 and $1 million in damages. Two other lawsuits were filed against Rice and Knox in April 2024. They separately have been charged with multiple crimes. The prosecution is pending. The league does not plan to take action against Rice until the criminal case has ended.

-- Patriots Could Release Stefon Diggs --
Sat May 31, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports Boston reports Scott Zolak, who calls Patriots games on the radio and thus has a much greater connection to the team than the garden-variety talking chowderhead, believes the Patriots may cut WR Stefon Diggs. “I came to this show yesterday with the opinion -- not opinion, but the knowledge that it is on the table,” Zolak recently said during his weekday radio program on 98.5 The Sports Hub. “That it is being thought of.” Zolak pointed out the possibility arises from something more than the pink powder club video that emerged this week of Diggs on a yacht. "[I]t’s not just the boat,” Zolak said. “It’s not just the boat. There are some other things that I’ve heard that put some things in question. Are you all-in here?”
