Instead of giving him just $30, the shop owner reached into his pocket and handed the elderly man a crisp $100 bill. The old man was taken aback, his eyes widening in disbelief. He stammered his thanks, his voice shaky with emotion. The shop owner simply smiled and told him to take the money and go back home safely.

What We Know About His Dating Life RevealedKANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes paced up and down the Chiefs’ sideline, yelling toward everyone yet no one in particular. His first-half pep talk, a waste. His body, bruised. His frustration, public for all to see. If you didn’t know any better — if you didn’t check the date on this column — you might have guessed I ripped the scene from Christmas Day a year earlier. Except for just one tiny detail. The Chiefs won. They beat the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17 on Friday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, and for all of the close, funky conclusions that have defined this season, we have a masterpiece: a botched snap. A year after the Raiders robbed the Chiefs of a Christmas Day celebration, they gifted them a victory when center Jackson Powers-Johnson snapped the ball before quarterback Aidan O’Connell expected it. Nick Bolton pounced on it. That’s how the Chiefs just beat the worst team in football. Look, the Chiefs are still a very good team, but with the record of a very great team requesting to be judged on the curve of the very best teams the league has to offer. That’s not some unfair grading system we invented for them — it’s how they judge themselves. Been that way for a while now. And about the only positive thing I can offer from Friday’s game — other than, you know, the win — is to wonder if perhaps the outcome will convince Raiders owner Mark Davis that head coach Antonio Pierce is a good fit for the job. The Chiefs’ offense gained just 4.9 yards per play, the third-worst mark among the 12 teams to play the Raiders this season. The Chiefs defense allowed 6.9 yards per play, 1.3 more yards per play than anyone had allowed the Raiders this year. Chiefs coach Andy Reid botched a fourth-down decision in which he elected to put the end of the game in the hands of that defense, rather than his quarterback. Everyone shared some blame. But for all of that, there are no bigger concerns than the root of Mahomes’ outburst. Left tackle. For the third time this year, Reid benched his left tackle in-game, enacting a full-on state of emergency that sent Joe Thuney, an All-Pro guard, to protect Mahomes’ blindside. To hell with it, Reid apparently said, and who could blame him? Starting left tackle Wanya Morris, who doubles as the replacement for the first guy KC benched this season, allowed 11 pressures and a career day not from Maxx Crosby, but from K’Lavon Chaisson — who had eight pressures, per Next Gen Stats. A ticket-taker slows traffic more efficiently than Morris slowed the Raiders’ navigation to his quarterback. On three occasions, Chaisson reached Mahomes is less than 2 1/2 seconds. Those plays were over before they started. “He’s playing against a couple of good players,” Reid said of Morris. “But you gotta do better than what we did there.” At one point, visibly frustrated, Mahomes stretched out both arms from his sides and turned his palms skyward, as if to ask the very question that will hover over the rest of the Chiefs’ quest for the NFL’s first three-peat: What now? Well, it sure seems like one of the most important players to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl hopes just became someone who hasn’t put on a football uniform in more than 11 months — someone who has never put on a Chiefs uniform. D.J. Humphries, you’re up. After spending the past 11 months out of football — not even a practice since his ACL injury with the Arizona Cardinals last December — the Chiefs have little choice but to ask Humphries to step into one of the most important jobs in the sport. A risky solution. I’ll listen for others. The Chiefs have survived subpar left tackle play in this era. They’re almost stuck with it, given the constraints of their salary cap paired with their draft position falling at the end of every round. Donovan Smith was below average a year ago, even if time has elevated that memory. Heck, Cam Erving protected Mahomes at one point. They’ve managed. This is different. They aren’t even giving Mahomes a chance. Before the season, I could not offer you a single example of a left tackle flat-out whiffing on an edge rusher. I’m sure it’s happened. I don’t remember it. Today, if asked for that example, I would reply with a question: Which one? Morris continually elected to just try to punch at Chaisson. He came about as close as a 58-year-old boxer on Netflix. To Morris’ credit, and this will be dismissed more quickly than it should, he remained by his locker as media entered the room after the game. He took every last question he was asked. “There’s no better time to learn than when you get your (rear-end) beat,” Morris told me, and he did not say rear-end. “It sucks to get your (rear-end) beat, but when you get your (rear-end) beat, you can have two responses: You can lay down, or you can get back up and try something new. I’m going to get back up and try something new.” What’s becoming obvious: The Chiefs cannot afford him that chance. They cannot afford their second-round pick, Kingsley Suamataia, that chance, either. A year ago, the Raiders supplied the Chiefs a wake-up call: They’d better take the rest of the season seriously if they intended to make another Super Bowl run. This year, the wake-up call is how drastically one position can derail their plans. On a first-half drive Friday, Mahomes completed a no-look pass to tight end Noah Gray for 26 yards. A few plays later, tight end Travis Kelce lateraled a ball to running back Samaje Perine for a first down. Three more plays later, Mahomes absorbed a shot to the chest but managed to somehow flick a pass to receiver Justin Watson, who made a contested catch for a touchdown. A no-look. A lateral. A contested catch, which this team almost never makes. That once comprised the look of a team showing off. On Friday, it comprised the requirements for scoring. It was the recipe for the only time the Chiefs reached the end zone. Those plays I glossed over? They were interrupted by the constant pressure. Even the touchdown should have been interrupted by the pressure. A miraculous throw, really. But the Raiders — and that outburst — illuminated something in the process. Even a franchise savior has a limit. ©2024 The Kansas City Star. Visit kansascity.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
NORMAL – When Addison Martin scored the game’s first basket just 20 seconds in Thursday, the CEFCU Arena crowd erupted. It was not the first eruption of the day, and it certainly would not be the last. With an Illinois State women’s basketball program record Education Day gathering of 8,027 comprised mainly of elementary school children roaring from beginning to end, the Redbirds dismantled NAIA program St. Francis early and cruised to a 110-60 nonconference triumph. Illinois State forward Addison Martin (24) celebrates after a 3-pointer by Caroline Waite in the second quarter against St. Francis on Thursday during Education Day at CEFCU Arena. “It was awesome. It was just a fun atmosphere to play in front of a bunch of little kids. It gets us going on the court,” Martin said. “It was fun to hear them scream and have a great time. And of course they were out of school so that’s even better.” Before scoring an arena-record 110 points, ISU players were instructed by Coach Kristen Gillespie to harken back to their youth. “This is our favorite game of the year,” Gillespie said after her team improved to 5-3. “My message to our players was we were all third or fourth graders with dreams of being a college athlete one day, and we’re getting to live out our childhood dreams so let’s put on a great show. "Play with immense joy and passion and have fun out there. I think that’s what you saw from us.” Illinois State forward Savannah McGowan (52) scores against St. Francis on Thursday during Education Day at CEFCU Arena. The measurables from that immense joy revealed 11 3-pointers in 24 attempts, a 30-0 margin in fast-break points and 59.4 percent overall shooting. ISU enjoyed a 30-5 bulge late in the first quarter and carried a healthy 67-19 advantage into halftime. “It’s fun being out there with all of our team. We get along so well and have such good chemistry,” guard Caroline Waite said. “The environment when you have 8,000 kids yelling at you, it makes it so much better.” No more Waiteing Waite misfired badly on her first 3-point attempt of the day, but her aim would soon improve. Waite “The first one was a brick. Honestly, I just forgot about it and laughed it off,” she said. “After that, I felt good.” Waite, in her second season at ISU after transferring from Bradley, had scored just nine points in five games thus far. But one of the Missouri Valley Conference’s top 3-point shooters in her days with the Braves rediscovered that form and buried seven straight 3-pointers before bookending that streak with another miss. Waite was 9 of 11 shooting and 7 of 9 from beyond the arc for a career-high 25 points. “Coach challenged me before the game to not feel so much pressure. Just go out and have fun, really lean on other people and focus on the fundamentals,” said Waite. “That really helped me this game. The hoops gets bigger after you make a few.” “It just takes one game to see the ball go in and get that confidence,” Gillespie said. “Everyone on our team knows that’s what Caroline Waite is all about. She’s one of the best shooters in the country, and she put on a show today. I can’t tell you how happy I am for her. I know this is a long time coming.” Washington emerging ISU’s Doneelah Washington, the reigning MVC Freshman of the Week, scored 11 points for her third double figure scoring production in four games. Washington “I’m getting pretty comfortable,” said the 6-foot-1 Washington. “I have a supporting crew around me. I can always go talk to anybody if I need to talk. It’s like an eye opener. You have to have confidence coming in as a freshman, but I think I’m doing pretty well.” “She’s just a competitor. She has no idea how good she’s going to be. Her ceiling is so high,” Gillespie said. “She’s extremely coachable. She listens to our staff. "She’s lucky she’s got some upperclassmen in the post who have taken her under their wing. She’s done a great job with her confidence. She has a knack for the ball. She’s just getting started.” Washington is known as "Neebay" around the team, a nickname that begs for an origin story. "I don’t really know the whole background, but my aunt made it when I was a kid because I was a bad kid," she said. "Like a be bad then they changed it to Neebay somehow." Happy totals Neveah Thomas chipped in 13 points for ISU, Martin 12, freshman Trista Fayta a career-high 12 and Shannon Dowell 11. Illinois State guard Lauren Cohen (4) passes to a teammate against Saint Francis on Thursday during Education Day at CEFCU Arena. Fayta had four steals and six assists, and Maya Wong handed out a game-high seven assists. Thomas grabbed eight rebounds and Martin, Elyce Knudsen and Lauren Cohen six apiece. ISU also sank 23 of 25 free throws for 92 percent. Tykara Harrison led St. Francis (7-2) with 15 points.
