Pat Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and two time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes who himself is a former MLB pitcher, pleaded guilty to his third DWI offense at Smith County Court in Texas.

Let’s not judge but sheesh, Mr. Mahomes needs help. His son has a $500 million dollar contract with three rings. He has a bunch of grandkids. Like, what’s up?

Anyway, the 54-year-old faces a third-degree felony charge.

Get this, he is expected to receive five years’ probation, with the possibility of up to 10 years in prison if he violates the terms of his probation.

ICYMI, Mahomes Sr., who was arrested before Super Bowl LVIII, has had a history of legal troubles related to driving under the influence. In 2018, he pleaded guilty to a DWI charge and served 40 days in jail. His criminal record also includes a 2014 charge for possession of an open alcoholic container in a vehicle, which resulted in a fine.

Mahomes Sr. who had a lengthy MLB career, is scheduled to be sentenced on September 23. He also faces an upcoming pre-trial hearing in October for driving with an invalid license.

Gotta hand it to Patty Mahomes Jr. He is one of the greatest NFL players ever and his pops is literally the definition of a distraction. Hopefully they all figure this out.

What ya’ll thought, Bronny was going to be passing the ball to his father in a game yelling “Daddy?” We didn’t either.

So here we go. As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare for a unique season featuring both LeBron James and his son Bronny James on the same team, LeBron has established a key rule for their professional relationship: no calling him “Dad” on the court.

“We’ve already laid that down,” LeBron said in an upcoming episode of ‘The Shop,’ which was filmed in Paris during the Olympics earlier this month. “He cannot call me ‘Dad’ in the workplace. Once we leave the practice facility and the gates close, I can be ‘Dad’ again.”

Unless you were under a rock in the sports world, Bronny was selected by the Lakers with the 55th overall pick in the NBA Draft earlier this summer after one season at USC. He secured a four-year, $7.9 million guaranteed contract with the team, an unusual achievement for a second-round pick. During the Lakers’ Summer League in Las Vegas, Bronny showed promise by scoring in double figures in several games, despite initially struggling from the three-point line.

LeBron has long expressed his desire to share the court with his son before retiring.

He is about to get his wish.

When they eventually play together in an NBA game, they will become the first father-son duo to be teammates in the league’s history, and only the fourth such duo in major American professional sports.

However, it’s still uncertain how Bronny will fit into the Lakers’ roster under first-year head coach JJ Redick, who recently replaced Darvin Ham.

The Lakers cleaned house and got rid of the entire coaching staff. JJ is not playing around.

The dynamic between LeBron and Bronny as teammates is another question mark.

LeBron is confident about the name change on the court, but here’s what else he said:

“It’s easy for me. It’s going to be an adjustment for him,” LeBron said. “But we can not be running down the court, and he be like, ‘Dad, push the ball up. Dad, I’m open! Dad!’ No, he cannot do that.” We concur, Bron.

This story is about some really rich celebrities doing really rich things. Enjoy ….

Okay, so Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, yeah, him, found himself on the losing side during the E1 racing event in Lake Como, Italy, and Will Smith wasn’t about to let him forget it. 

Lake Como is near Milan. We said, really rich.

Smith’s team, Team Westbrook, clinched victory at the event, beating out Brady’s team, and the Hollywood actor was quick to celebrate.

Ya’ll know Will knows how to tease … in all good fun.

Taking to the gram, Smith shared several photos of the race with the caption, 

“We won!!! Sorry ’bout that, @tombrady – My Bad.” Smith, who hails from Pennsylvania and is a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, couldn’t resist a little friendly banter with the NFL legend.

Get this: Before the race, Smith had a FaceTime chat with Brady, during which he told the New England Patriots Hall of Famer, “My entire childhood was spent with him beating my team, and I was like, it’s not going to happen out here today.” Smith was referring to the many times Brady’s teams had bested the Eagles over the years, though he did enjoy seeing his Eagles win the Super Bowl over Brady’s Patriots in 2018.

Brady, the champion of champions, showed his competitive spirit by responding in the Instagram comments, “Until the next time. I’m happy for you! Enjoy it while it lasts because we are coming for your a$$.”

If you don’t know, the E1 racing series is a new, innovative form of water competition. It features high-speed electric-powered boats capable of reaching speeds of up to 50 knots (about 26 mph). These lightweight boats, made from carbon fiber and weighing around 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs), require only one pilot to navigate. It sounds like the F1 of boating.

The high-profile event has attracted significant star power, with team owners including Tom Brady, Will Smith, Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez, tennis star Rafael Nadal, former soccer player Didier Drogba, singer Marc Anthony, and DJ Steve Aoki. 

Check this: Brady’s team, which had previously secured victories in Jeddah, Venice, and Monaco, was edged out by Smith’s Team Westbrook in Lake Como. Team Brazil and Team Rafa completed the podium after initially leading the qualifying rounds. With nine teams competing in the tournament’s second year, the rivalry will heat up as the season progresses.

Again, you just have to be in that bracket to really take part in the fun like Smith and Brady, but for now, we can dream, can we?

NBA legend and Laker great Magic Johnson recently addressed comments made by Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards. Edwards is a rising 23-year-old NBA talent. He sparked controversy when he claimed Michael Jordan was the only truly skilled player from the 1990s. 

Oh boy, here we go …

The other MJ responded to Edwards’ remarks with a pointed critique in an interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. 

“I never respond to a guy that’s never won a championship,” Johnson said. “There’s not really anything to say. He didn’t win a college championship. I don’t even know if he won a high school championship.”

ICYMI, Edwards threw the shade a few days earlier when he shared his views with the Wall Street Journal’s Lane Florsheim. “I didn’t watch it back in the day so I can’t speak on it,” Edwards said. “They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don’t think anybody had skill back then. [Michael Jordan] was the only one that really had skill, you know what I mean?”

At just 23, Edwards earned two All-Star selections, a spot on the 2024 All-NBA team, and a place on the 2020-21 All-Rookie team. While he continues to build his legacy, Johnson’s words remind him of the respect owed to the legends who came before him.

Listen this is an ongoing debate. How skilled players were back then versus today. It’s an argument and we’re here for it.
