Patrick Mahomes isn’t the only one in his family improving himself. While the QB looks to make NFL history by leading his Kansas City Chiefs to the first ever Super Bowl three-peat on the field, his mother, Randi Mahomes, is making moves of her own. Now that she’s retired, Randi has been living the life she wants. Going where she wants, when she wants—though she’s always in attendance when her son Patrick takes the NFL field on game day. However, it’s not all fun and games. Randi has also taken it upon herself to refocus on her fitness now that she has more downtime. She has started her fitness journey with yoga, and she shared that she had completed day one of her new regimen with a post on her Instagram story on Thursday. When Randi is not supporting her son and his Chiefs, or working up a sweat at the yoga studio, she’s enjoying life with family and friends. Having dinners, taking trips. She’s also often seen attending her daughter Mia Randall’s sporting events, which include everything from tennis to volleyball to basketball. Randi and Pat Mahomes divorced in 2006, though they remain amicable. Randi had Mia with a new partner (whom she hasn’t disclosed to the media). Randi Mahomes turned to fitness after her parents’ health issues Though it might be hard to believe, Randi only retired a few months ago, despite the fact that her son signed a $503 million contract back in 2020. It is the fourth-largest contract in sports history, and yet, Randi, who was 48 at the time, kept plugging along as an event planner at Hollytree Country Club in Tyler, Texas, where the Mahomes family is from. In 2023, Randi’s own mother, Debbie Bates, passed away due to various health issues, including heart problems. Then, earlier this fall, Randi’s father, Randy Martin, checked into the hospital as he battled through an illness. Thankfully, Randy was discharged from the hospital in October and is on the mend, according to Randi. However, both of her parents going through health issues around the same time made Randi start to think about her own health. Randi is still only 52 and in what seems to be good shape, but she’s not taking any risks. Her newfound fitness journey is an encouraging story for people of all ages, showing that it’s never too late to start focusing on your health and begin your own fitness path. Obviously, her son Patrick knows about fitness as one of the great NFL players in the country. His 9-1 Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their first loss of the season last week, and will head into Carolina to take on the Panthers on Sunday in Week 12.Brisbane military supplier sailing with a tailwind
Nebraska women’s basketball player Callin Hake summed it up as well as anyone could. “I think in South Dakota we shot the crap out of it, which is awesome,” the guard from Minnesota said. On that night last weekend in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the Huskers made a school-record 20 3-pointers on 58% shooting beyond the arc in a 113-70 win against South Dakota. That was three more than the previous record, from 2010. Now comes another game against Creighton where the series at times has at times been defined by the 3-point line — both the ability to make and defend it. The 3-point line is something to watch closely again when the Huskers and Bluejays play at 4 p.m. Friday at Sokol Arena in Omaha, a few hours before the men’s teams from the same schools play at CHI Health Center Omaha. Creighton (1-2) has won two straight in the series. Last year, Morgan Maly made three 3-pointers in the first three minutes of the game and Creighton led the entire game while winning 79-74. Creighton didn’t keep its hot 3-point shooting going the entire game but made nine and outscored the Huskers by 18 points beyond the arc. Nebraska was 3-for-21 on 3-pointers. In 2022, Creighton blasted the Huskers 77-51 after making five of its first eight 3-pointers. “One thing I know is they (Creighton) all shoot it pretty well,” Nebraska coach Amy Williams said. “Last year we gave up eight made threes in the first quarter. That’s something we’ll have to shore up. They’re very, very good off the ball with their movement and cuts so you’re positioning really matters. We’ll have to make the hustle plays and not give them second-chance opportunities.” Creighton has won seven of the last eight meetings with the Huskers. The Bluejays are averaging 10.4 made threes per game during the stretch, while Nebraska is averaging 3.6. The 5-0 and 21st-ranked Huskers faced a major dose of adversity this week when sophomore forward Natalie Potts sustained a season-ending knee injury during Tuesday’s game against North Alabama. She’s scheduled for surgery in two weeks. Williams called the injury is “devastating.” “What a start she’s had to the season, leading our team in scoring and rebounding,” Williams said. “She worked really hard this offseason.” Creighton has reached the NCAA Tournament the past three seasons, making the Elite Eight in 2022, the first round in 2023 and the second round in 2024 with several of the same players that are on the team this year. Creighton may be the most experienced team the Huskers face all season, as the Bluejay playing rotation includes five graduate students, two seniors and two juniors. “We’re incredibly familiar with their roster, and they’re incredibly familiar with our roster,” Williams said. Creighton guard Lauren Jensen has already gone off this season, scoring a career-high 32 in an 80-72 win against Drake. She was 6-for-10 on threes and made each of her six two-point shots. One thing new to the series for Nebraska is Britt Prince, the freshman from Elkhorn North getting her first taste of playing against her hometown school. In the past two games combined, Prince is 15 for 21 shooting. She’s driving to the basket, and also shooting 3s. “She’s gotten more aggressive, and I’d like to see her be even more aggressive,” Williams said. The 113-70 win against South Dakota showed the Huskers what it can look like this season. The Huskers zipped passes around the perimeter to get lots of good 3-point chances. Nebraska had 33 assists on 41 field goals. Hake felt like a lot of inside-outside passes helped the Huskers to the fourth-best scoring total in program history. “When you have posts that are willing to kick it out and give you dimes for passes that makes shooting in a guard’s job a lot easier,” Hake said. “I think we really wanted to carry that forward. But we don’t want to live and die by the three.” Nebraska (5-0) G – Britt Prince; 5-11; Fr.; 13.0 G – Callin Hake; 5-8; Jr.; 6.0 G – Alberte Rimdal; 5-9; Sr.; 10.4 G – Logan Nissley; 6-0; So.; 8.0 C – Alexis Markowski; 6-3; Sr.; 13.8 Creighton (1-2) Player; Ht.; Yr.; PPG.

NoneAustralia's prime minister said Sunday he was ready to "engage" with billionaire X owner Elon Musk over his criticism of the government's ban on under-16s joining social media. Anthony Albanese hailed the parliament's Thursday passage of landmark legislation requiring social media firms to take "reasonable steps" to prevent young teens from having accounts. The law, which will come into effect after 12 months, gives few details of how it will be enforced, including how sites like Facebook, Instagram and X will verify users' ages. Musk -- who has been named Donald Trump's government efficiency chief in the incoming US administration -- posted on X last month that the law "seems like a backdoor way to control access to the Internet by all Australians". "We will talk to anyone," Albanese said when asked if he would discuss the legislation with Musk. "With regard to Elon Musk, he has an agenda. He's entitled to push that as the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter," Albanese told Australian public broadcaster ABC. When the interviewer mentioned that Musk was also Trump's "right-hand man", the prime minister replied: "We will engage, we will engage." Social media firms that fail to comply with the new law face fines of up to Aus$50 million (US$32.5 million) for "systemic breaches". Musk's platform in October lost a legal bid to avoid a US$417,000 fine levelled by Australia's online watchdog, which has accused X of failing to stamp out harmful posts. The government will decide over the next 12 months how to implement the ban, Albanese said, insisting, however, that it would not require people to provide identification. "The obligation will be on social media companies to do everything they can to make sure that those people under 16 don't have access to social media," the prime minister said. "We know that social media companies have more information about you and I than some of our friends do," he added. "We know that they are able to do that, and the obligation will be on them." Albanese said he was "determined" to implement the legislation. "I've met parents who have had to bury their children as a result of the impact that social media has had as a result of bullying, and we need to do something about it," he said. Several social media giants have promised to work with the government on implementing the law. But they have also criticised the legislation, saying it was "rushed", full of unanswered questions, and did not take into account the views of experts who opposed it. The UN children's charity UNICEF Australia warned this week that the law was no "silver bullet" against online harm and could push kids into "covert and unregulated" spaces online. djw/mp/cwl
Iceland set for change of government as polls closeNoneThese former teammates are going toe-to-toe. Or, in this case, shin-pad to shin-pad. And while workhorse Rasmus Andersson is right now leading the NHL in blocked shots, he doesn’t expect his old buddy to be spending very long in his rearview mirror. Chris Tanev has, after all, made a career out of collecting contusions by sacrificing his body in front of 90 m.p.h. slappers. “Yeah, I probably won’t be beating him,” Andersson said. “That’s kind of his specialty, and he is really good at it. “I take a lot of pride in it, too, but dethroning Chris on it will be pretty tough.” Maybe so. But it’s worth noting that Tanev, who signed this summer with his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs, is currently sitting second out of 715 players on the league shot-blocking charts. During Monday’s , the 28-year-old Andersson dead-ended four more shots before they could reach rookie netminder Dustin Wolf. The Flames’ top-pairing defenceman has now racked up 72 blocks this fall. Tanev, meanwhile, has been credited with 68. Heading into Tuesday’s action around the loop, New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba was third on this mettle podium — see what we did there? — at 61. “I always say it’s a non-negotiable, and I have been lucky enough that it’s hit me quite a few times this year,” Andersson told Postmedia before the Flames departed on their current road trip. “You just try to be in the right spot, and we do block quite a bit of shots around here, especially when you’re on the penalty kill. A lot of teams are trying to shoot from up top against us, and I try to just front it and it’s been hitting me quite a bit. And then it’s a lot of one-on-ones. When you play shooters, you have your stick in the lane and you get those too. “You just try to be in the right spot and do the right thing. It can be uncomfortable at times, but it feels good too when you eat one from a good player.” Tanev, whose selfless style made him a fan favourite during his own stint at the Saddledome, isn’t the least bit surprised to see that Andersson is repelling all that rubber. As the 34-year-old told Postmedia in Toronto: “Especially in the system that they play, where the D are by the net a lot, you have to front a lot of pucks. He’s really good at that.” In their four winters together in Calgary, Tanev watched Andersson consistently boost his block totals — from 68 in the pandemic-shortened campaign to 125 and 136 and then to 186 in 2023-24. He’s currently on pace for 260-some this season. “That wasn’t Ras initially, when we first started together (in Stockton),” said Flames bench boss Ryan Huska. “But that goes a little bit to the people you’re around, as well. So when you watch how important a player like Chris Tanev is in regards to doing whatever he has to do to help the team win, it rubs off on people that are around you. “Ras is a very astute player. He thinks it well. He watches other people. He recognizes what needs to be done to win, and then he’ll take it on. I think that’s part of him maturing and growing as a player and putting himself in a position to be one of the best now.” Andersson is definitely in the MVP mix for the Flames through the first quarter of this season, one of the biggest reasons this surprise squad is second in the Pacific Division standings at 12-7-3. Heading into Wednesday’s date with the Red Wings in Detroit (5:30 p.m. MT, Sportsnet 360/Sportsnet 960 The Fan), he continues to lead the team in points, with 13. While the Flames need more production from some of their big-ticket forwards, nobody is grousing about the offensive oomph they’re getting from the righty rearguard in No. 4. Andersson has also potted a pair of shootout goals, including Saturday’s winner . And his nightly workload has never been higher. He’s one of only a half-dozen NHLers who is currently averaging 25-plus minutes per contest. He logged a season-high 28:05 in Ottawa, including 7:33 on the penalty kill. Although he’d probably love a couple of weeks in February where he wasn’t getting pelted with pucks, he seems like a shoo-in to be selected to represent Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off. “Ras is a really good player, all-around,” Tanev said. “He is playing really well for them. (Blocks) are just part of it.”
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Looking for hard-to-find bottles of Kentucky bourbon to toast the holidays or add to a collection? Get your bids ready as the Bluegrass State launches its first online auction of confiscated alcohol. Whiskeys up for sale include two bottles of Old Rip Van Winkle, a Blanton’s Single Barrel Gold in box with Japanese markings and a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch Barrel Strength 2011. The sale is the result of a new Kentucky law, which allows alcohol confiscated from closed criminal investigations by the state's alcoholic beverage control agency to be auctioned. Online bidding opens Wednesday and closes at midnight on Dec. 11. Proceeds will support programs promoting responsible alcohol use by adults and awareness programs for youths. “This is a really good auction,” Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, said by phone Tuesday. “There are some hard-to-find and rare bottles on there.” No estimate has been given on how much the auction might raise. “We look forward to seeing the response to this auction and have started planning additional auctions for 2025,” said Allyson Taylor, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The auction features 32 bottles of alcohol and includes a “stock the bar” bundle with bottles of wine, vodka, rum and whiskey, the agency said. But the stars are the hard-to-find and rare bourbons up for sale. “It’s not every day you go to a liquor store and find a bottle of Blanton’s Gold," Gregory said. “You never go to a liquor store and find a bottle of Four Roses 2011.” The lineup includes bottles of E.H. Taylor bourbon, Blanton’s Single Barrel, Eagle Rare 10 yr., Weller Antique 107, Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye, Michter’s, an Old Forester gift set and more. A link to the online auction is available at ABC.ky.gov . Auction items cannot be shipped, so winning bidders must pick up items in Frankfort, the state said. The auctions will become a “can't miss opportunity” for bourbon connoisseurs, Gregory said. Previously, confiscated bourbon or other spirits could end up being destroyed, he said. “We don't like to see good bourbon poured down the drain,” Gregory said. Kentucky distillers produce 95% of the global bourbon supply, the Kentucky distillers’ group says.NoneFlag football: Local standouts scoop up All-League honors
