ANDY REID has announced a risky Patrick Mahomes decision that could have major repercussions on the Kansas City Chiefs’ season.
The AFC West giants are preparing for the 2025 NFL campaign, and are deep in training camp with intense practices.
They are looking to bounce back this year after a disappointing end to the last, which finished in Super Bowl heartache.
The Chiefs were destroyed 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles down in New Orleans, Louisiana, in February.
It ended their hopes of a three-peat, which would have been a first in the history of the league.
Their chances of success this year mainly rely on their superstar quarterback Mahomes, the leader and main threat of the entire team
However, Reid’s latest announcement over the 29-year-old has fans fearing the worst heading into another season of football.
The veteran head coach has revealed their No1 QB will START in preseason this weekend.
The Chiefs take on the Arizona Cardinals this coming Saturday.
It is rare for the leading quarterback to start before the regular season begins.
It mostly comes from the fear they will be injured before the campaign really kicks off.
Mahomes is expected to play the first quarterback for the Chiefs against the Cardinals.
Reid is set to give all four of his QBs a quarter each in the game at the State Farm Stadium.
That includes his star man, along with Gardner Minshew, Bailey Zappe and Chris Oladokun.
It is not known how long Mahomes will actually play for.
The Chiefs head coach has announced he would start in preseason for the previous two years.
However, he was sat down on the bench after just one series, both times.
That could still prove to be a risk for their leading man.
Quarterbacks Michael Vick and Tony Romo suffered notorious serious injuries in preseason in the past.
Mahomes was quick to admit he will need to improve for the 2025 season after a downward year.
“There’s stuff we’ve got to get better at. Especially myself,” he told USA Today Sports.
“There’s plays on the football field that I didn’t make last year, that I’ve made in previous years.
“At the end of the day, I’m going to do whatever it takes to win, whether that’s passing for a lot of yards, not passing for a lot of yards.
“But I think if I play better, that’s going to make it better for the team.
“So, I’ve got to be better at executing whenever the shots are there, making those throws.
“Because that’s going to alleviate pressure on our defense and make them play more free and make the team play more free.”
HIDDEN subscription fees may be burning a hole in your wallet, tacking on an extra $276 to your bills.
With inflation and tariffs already weighing down on consumers, it’s as crucial as ever to save every dollar you can – and one simple way to slash your bills is by cancelling unused subscriptions.
Subscription services are becoming increasingly popular in the US across many industries, with Americans using these services for everything from streaming movies and music to ordering food with a few clicks of a button.
The average US adult spends $1,080 annually on subscriptions, or $90 per month, according to CNET’s second annual subscription survey.
The popularity of subscription services is driven by the convenience and value they offer consumers – at least, when they are being used.
A substantial portion of households pay for subscriptions they no longer use, with a major culprit being free trials, leading to unwanted recurring charges.
A phenomenon called “subscription creep” describes the slow uptick in one’s subscription costs due to forgetting to cancel unwanted or unused services.
Americans spend $204 on average for subscriptions they do not use, per CNET, which comes out to $17 per month.
Younger generations such as Gen Z potentially shell out even more cash on unused subscriptions, at $23 per month or $276 per year.
There are a number of steps you can take to get rid of these unwanted subscription fees and slash your monthly bills.
The first step in trimming your monthly bills from unused subscriptions is to identify them.
Check your bank and credit card statements for recurring charges, even small ones, such as $4.99 or $9.99.
Consumers can also take advantage of subscription tracking apps to scan their bank accounts and point out the subscriptions, such as:
Another practical way to spot your hidden subscriptions is to check your emails, typing key words such as “subscription,” “renewal,” “receipt,” or “trial” in the search bar to find signup emails.
Consumers can also check the App Store or the Google Play Store for subscriptions linked to their accounts.
The following are the subscription types that Americans have paid for since April 2025:

There are several methods you can use to cancel your unwanted subscriptions today.
For example, you can cancel directly in the app or website by looking for a “Manage Subscription” or “Billing” tab in your account settings.
Using app store subscriptions management can also be handy, as both the App Store and Google Play Store have dashboards where users can cancel their active subscriptions.
Apps such as Rocket Money can also help negotiate and cancel unwanted subscriptions for you.
For subscription services without clear cancellation options, consumers can call the company’s customer service line and ask to end their subscription.
One helpful tip to avoid paying for unwanted subscription services is to set a reminder in your calendar to alert you before a free trial expires.
Saving money on your subscriptions can help relieve your wallet of some unnecessary strain, especially as prices rise.
One TV streaming giant, for example, hiked prices for subscribers by 40% – and viewers will now pay up to $16.99 a month for shows.
Plus, your cable bills are rising again – see the step-by-step tactics to cut $240 fast.
FOX has announced its full broadcast crews for the 2025 NFL season.
The network has also revealed its first two games for Tom Brady‘s broadcasting team.
The 2025 season kicks off in a few weeks, and Fox has six broadcast crews to call games.
These are the teams that Fox has put together for the season.
Fox’s rules analysts are Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino.
To kick off the season, Fox’s No. 1 crew (Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt) will be at the matchup between the New York Giants and Washington Commanders.
In Week 2, Brady and Burkhardt will be on the call for the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Super Bowl rematch is one of the best games early in the season.
However, many fans aren’t happy that Brady’s team got the game and shared their displeasure on social media.
“Tom Brady isn’t a good TV analyst,” one fan said.
“I will be watching on mute,” another fan said.
“Joe Davis and Greg Olsen are the best crew by a mile,” a third fan said.
“Greg Olsen should be on the #1 crew,” a fourth fan said.
“I miss the Burkhardt/Olsen pairing,” a fifth fan said.
Many fans are still clamoring for Greg Olsen to get his job as Fox’s No. 1 color commentator back.
March 12 - Free Agency begins
April 24-26 – NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin
September 4 – 2025 season opener (TBC vs Eagles)
November 27 – Thanksgiving Day triple header
January 4, 2026 – End of regular-season
February 8, 2026 – Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California
However, that is extremely unlikely.
Brady is entering year two of his 10 year contract with Fox.
That contract is paying him $375 million.
If Olsen wants to be a No. 1 again he will likely need to move networks.
