The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes look like their old selves, but now with new help

The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes look like their old selves, but now with new help

Published by Sam Flores

The Kansas City Chiefs last season lost more than Patrick Mahomes, their franchise cornerstone player, to a season-ending injury. Well before the star quarterback injured two ligaments in his left knee last December, the Chiefs had already lost the air of invincibility they’d built while becoming the NFL’s most-feared team in close games. That quality had earned the Chiefs three Super Bowl titles under coach Andy Reid, and a 17-game winning streak in games decided by 8 points or less. That streak was snapped in last year’s first game, and from there only got worse. By last season’s end, their record in one-score games was 1-9, a turnaround some attributed to Mahomes’ inconsistent play before his injury, or a supporting cast of receivers and running backs had grown thin. Tight end Travis Kelce, one of the most prolific pass-catchers in the position’s history, was in the middle of one of his worst statistical seasons. On the ground, the Chiefs ranked near the league’s bottom third in yards per carry. But two games into this new …

Aaron Rodgers slammed for scathing comments about exes Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick

Aaron Rodgers slammed for scathing comments about exes Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick

Published by Daniella Wilson

Aaron Rodgers has sparked backlash over comments made about his previous relationships. Appearing on his teammate Cam Heyward’s podcast Not Just Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback aired out some dirty laundry pertaining to his relationships with exes Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick. Rodgers dated former Nascar driver Patrick from 2018 to 2020, and then actor Woodley from 2020 to 2022. The latter relationship ended in a called off engagement. He is now married to a woman named Brittani, though further details about her and their relationship are unclear. The controversial NFL player’s comments began when he was asked the question: ”What do most people get wrong about you?” Instead of offering up a personal anecdote, he launched into verbal tirades against his exes. “I dated two women who nobody gives a f*** about unless they drop my name,” Rodgers began. “And they like to say their version of the history of what happened, and so I’m just this monster of a partner, and it’s just f***ing horse s***.” Aaron Rodgers is under fire for comments …

Actor-producer Patrick Muldoon’s cause of death confirmed

Actor-producer Patrick Muldoon’s cause of death confirmed

Published by Sam Flores

An official cause of death for actor-producer Patrick Muldoon has been confirmed. The “Melrose Place” and “Days of Our Lives” veteran suffered a myocardial infarction — a heart attack — according to a death certificate reviewed by People. Muldoon, 57, died April 19 at his Beverly Hills home. Muldoon’s sister, Shana Muldoon Zappa, told TMZ that his girlfriend found him unconscious on the bathroom floor when he didn’t return promptly after having his morning coffee and going to take a shower. Pulmonary embolism and hereditary coagulopathy — an arterial blockage in the lungs and issues with blood clotting either too much or too little — contributed to his death, People said. Muldoon, who was from San Pedro, played football in high school and at USC, where he acquired two Rose Bowl rings. He grew up in “a family of lifeguards,” which he described to The Times in 2012 as “such a competitive athletic environment.” His smaller size, however, led him to consider acting as a career rather than pro ball after he got run over …

London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe

London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe

Published by José Betancourt

At 2:24 in the morning on November 29, 2019, a surveillance camera mounted on the headquarters of MI6 picked up a slender silhouette on the fifth-floor balcony of a luxury tower across the Thames. The figure paced from one end of the curved balcony to the other, walked back to the middle, and jumped. The boy on the balcony was nineteen. His name was Zac Brettler. He lived with his parents in a leafy pocket of Maida Vale. The people he was with that night knew him as someone else entirely. That opening image is also the entire invitation of London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe. Either you want to sit with the question it raises for the next four hundred pages, or you don’t. I did. The Fall and the Fiction Keefe writes this book on two timelines. On one, he follows Rachelle and Matthew Brettler in the days after the police knock, as they piece together a version of their son they had never met. On the other, he retraces the months before, …

Love Lane by Patrick Gale review – a homecoming tale with echoes of Brokeback Mountain

Love Lane by Patrick Gale review – a homecoming tale with echoes of Brokeback Mountain

Published by Sam Flores

Towards the end of Love Lane, elderly protagonist Harry Cane becomes a figure of twinkly-eyed mischief. Gossiping with his granddaughter Pip, he advises her that “people without secrets … are like people with very tidy houses: usually not worth knowing”. Dangerously buried secrets are very much the order of the day in Patrick Gale’s 18th novel. We start as we mean to go on: Love Lane opens with a recounting of the clandestine relationship between widower Harry and his bachelor brother-in-law Paul Slaymaker, Englishmen who separately emigrated to Canada around the turn of the last century. We first meet them as homesteaders in the unforgiving Saskatchewan wilds; Gale aficionados who encountered Cane in 2015’s A Place Called Winter remember the dark cloud of scandal that hastened his departure from Britain. The “steady tenderness” between Harry and Paul, which is passingly reminiscent of Annie Proulx’s Brokeback Mountain, gives the men succour as their neighbouring farms weather the bitter economic vicissitudes of the 1920s and 30s, but their wordlessly powerful bond is for ever altered by the …

Patrick McDowell nods to Dior’s New Look at London Fashion Week

Patrick McDowell nods to Dior’s New Look at London Fashion Week

Published by Daniella Wilson

Patrick McDowell delivered a poignant and theatrical showcase at London Fashion Week, presenting their autumn/winter 2026 collection, “The Gaze”, which was a study in silhouette, sustainability and cinematic refinement. The London-based Liverpudlian is among the most talked-about designers on this season’s schedule. In May last year, McDowell was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design by the Princess of Wales, and later that month Sarah Jessica Parker wore a custom Patrick McDowell floral skirt and shirt in And Just Like That, further cementing the label’s position within high fashion. Following a standout ready-to-wear spring/summer show last September, McDowell showed no signs of dialling it back this season. Drawing inspiration from George Platt Lynes – the 1930s and 1940s Vogue photographer known for his striking compositions and nuanced studies of the male nude – the collection explored ideas of form, proportion and observation. “George Platt Lynes’ understanding of form, proportion and elegance was the main reference for this collection, informing both the silhouettes of the looks and the craftsmanship behind them,” McDowell said. …
