Patrick Mahomes takes blame for Super Bowl LIX rout, promises Chiefs ‘will be back’

Patrick Mahomes chose a poor time to play perhaps the worst game of his career.

Mahomes had just 33 passing yards in the first half of Super Bowl LIX, the lowest of his career. Despite three touchdowns in the second half, it was too little too late, and his Kansas City Chiefs were blown out, 40-22, by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Chiefs were going for their third consecutive Super Bowl title, a run that began two years ago against the same Eagles. However, the Birds’ defense had other plans.

The Eagles were able to sack Mahomes six times, pick him off twice (including a pick-six) and throw him completely off of his game.

Green jerseys were in Mahomes’ face all night. Even more impressive is that the Eagles did not blitz once during the entire game.

While he did not necessarily get help from his offensive line or weapons, Mahomes took the blame for the tough loss.

“Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom. I let y’all down today,” he posted on X after the game. “I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me.”

However, he added that the Chiefs dynasty is not done just yet.

“We will be back.”

Mahomes could have become the first person to win four Super Bowls before turning 30 in NFL history, but that is no more – he will turn 30 on Sept. 17 later this year.

Researchers blame CA wildfires on climate change, peddle ‘alarmist’ non-peer reviewed studies: experts

An international research group backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos and the progressive George Soros Foundation has made headlines in major news outlets recently for its study claiming that the LA wildfires were caused by “human-induced” climate change.

The World Weather Attribution (WWA) group, founded in 2014 by Dr. Friederike Otto and Dr. Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, has published many scientific studies built on the presupposition that climate change may affect, and even cause, extreme weather events. The group also receives funds from the Grantham Institute and the European Climate Foundation.

On Jan. 28, the research group published what it called a “rapid attribution” study titled, “Climate change increased the likelihood of wildfire disaster in highly exposed Los Angeles area,” and was subsequently picked up by several major media outlets.

Some environmental critics are pushing back on the group’s rise to notoriety in the media and classified it as “alarmist,” fueled by “leftist organizations that are driving the climate narrative.”

“They’re just trying to manipulate people, and it’s effective. It works. I’ve talked to people that are saying that this is caused by climate change, and it’s frustrating,” Jason Isaac, founder and CEO of the American Energy Institute, a nonprofit think tank group platforming environmental policies that “promote economic freedom,” told Fox News Digital in an interview.

“There’s no peer review that’s been done on this data,” he added. “They rush out a flash study that supposedly found that global warming boosted fire weather conditions in the area by 35% and intensity by 6%. Well, what about the fires that happened in 1895? Who’s to blame for those? This is just a geography that’s sort of right for this situation to happen from time to time.”

Isaac added that California’s “poor management” is largely to blame and will “happen when they’re telling people they can’t clear their land.”

Isaac criticized California’s spending priorities, noting that while the state allocates tens of billions of dollars to its climate commitment – originally over $50 billion, later reduced to around $45 billion – it spent roughly $4.2 billion on fire prevention in the 2024-2025 fiscal year.

“You would think it would be a major priority for California, because of how susceptible they are to wildfires,” he said.

Steve Milloy, former Trump EPA Transition Team member, also told Fox News Digital that the WWA’s recent study was problematic, and dubbed it “pal-reviewed.”

“There’s no peer review going on. It’s not science,” Milloy said. “You know, this whole attribution thing is bogus. There’s no scientific foundation for it. It’s good propaganda, because they have the whole system organized where no one in the media asks any questions, they hide the origin and everything, and it makes for good headlines.”

Both Milloy and Isaac agreed that there will likely be an uptick in climate change-driven initiatives after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month to axe the Biden-era U.S. climate commitments, which aimed to reduce emissions 61-66% by 2035.

The WWA co-founder, Otto, has previously claimed in a 2022 U.K. magazine article that “Who ‘does science’ is a hugely important issue,” and that if “climate change is worked on exclusively by white men, it means that the questions asked are those that are relevant to white men.”

“But people most affected by climate change are not white men, so if all these other people are effectively excluded from the scientific process, the problems we have to face in climate change will not be properly addressed and you will not find solutions for how to best transform a society,” Otto wrote.

According to the WWA’s FAQ page on its website, “rapid attribution studies are published before peer review in order to release the results soon after events have taken place” and adds that its studies are later published in peer-reviewed journals.

“Scientific studies on extreme weather events, going through peer-review, are usually published months or even years after an event occurred, when the public has moved on and questions about responsibilities, rebuilding or relocating have been debated without taking scientific evidence on the influence of climate change into account,” the WWA website states.

On its website, WWA lists several papers included in peer-reviewed journals, including in the Weather and Climate Extremes, Environmental Research: Climate and Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, among others.

WWA conducts its studies by analyzing real-world weather data from regional weather stations to determine how rare and intense an extreme weather event is, according to its website. Researchers then compare the likelihood of such events currently with their expected frequency before the widespread burning of fossil fuels in the late 1800s.

WWA researchers occasionally face difficulties that prevent them from providing numerical results in their studies. These challenges may arise, its website states, if there isn’t enough reliable weather data available or if the computer models used for analysis are not well-suited to accurately simulate the specific weather event being studied.

“If a study does not have a conclusive result because of these challenges, that does not necessarily mean that climate change played no role in the weather event,” the WWA website states.

Dems claim Trump tariff could ‘drive up’ costs despite deflecting blame from Biden’s inflation

Democratic lawmakers are claiming that President Donald Trump’s impending tax on international goods will raise costs, despite spending years deflecting blame for high prices from the Biden administration.

Trump signed an executive order Saturday night to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada and a 10% tax on all imports from China, fulfilling a promise he made during his 2024 presidential campaign as a way to circumvent drug trafficking into the U.S.

The tariffs on Canada and China are set to go into effect at midnight, but Trump announced on Monday that he would pause the tariff on Mexico for one month after discussions with President Claudia Sheinbaum. However, as the tariffs loom, Democrats are claiming they could drive up bills for everyday Americans, despite supporting several tax hikes under the Biden administration.

“This is a terrible idea,” Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said in a statement. “Folks are already struggling to get ahead because of high prices, and now President Trump is about to drive up grocery and gas prices while raising costs on Arizona businesses.”

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., claimed Trump’s tariffs “could cost a typical family $1,200 per year,” while Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said that “President Trump owns the economic and national security fallout.”

Additionally, Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton of Arizona cosigned a letter with 42 lawmakers calling on Trump to “immediately” rescind the 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

“Trump’s tariffs on Canada will do nothing but hurt American workers and auto manufacturers. He’s giving our overseas competitors a leg up,” Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., claimed in a reaction to the impending tax.

“It would be nice if Donald Trump could start focusing on getting the prices down instead of making them go up,” wrote Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “I am concerned these new tariffs will further drive up costs for American consumers. We should be focused on going hard against competitors who rig the game, like China, rather than attacking our allies.”

While Democrats are uniting to criticize Trump’s tariffs, members of the party did not widely push back on tax increases implemented by former President Joe Biden.

During his administration, Democrats backed Biden’s proposals for a range of tax increases, including hikes on small businesses, corporations, capital gains and dividends, personal income, energy and a second estate tax.

When gas prices doubled under Biden, according to data from the Energy Information Administration, Schumer, then-Senate majority leader, claimed that it was oil companies “gouging us at the pump” who were to blame.

Despite the backlash, Trump has defended his decision to authorize the tariffs, telling reporters on Sunday night that Canada has been “abusive” toward the U.S. in terms of trade.

Padres owner puts blame for not signing star pitcher Roki Sasaki on lawsuit by widow of deceased former owner

San Diego Padres owners Matthew and Robert Seidler, the brother of deceased former owner Peter Seidler, has responded to a lawsuit filed by Peter’s widow, Sheel Kamal Seidler, who is suing for ownership of the team.

Matthew and Robert’s attorney provided the response to Fox News Digital, and it suggests blame on Sheel’s lawsuit for the team’ inability to sign Japanese star pitcher Roki Sasaki this offseason. Sasaki signed with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers after reportedly engaging in heavy discussions with the Padres for weeks.

“During a crucial time when Padres management was in late negotiation stages with a star pitcher, Sheel’s lawsuit recklessly suggested that Matt and his brothers were plotting to relocate the Padres elsewhere,” the response, which was filed in the Texas Probate Court on Monday, read.

Sasaki himself said that one of the reason he chose to sign with the Dodgers was because of the organization’s stability, at his introductory press conference last week.

“The No. 1 thing that stood out [about the Dodgers] was the stability of the front office,” the pitcher said via a translator.

Sheel filed her lawsuit against her brothers-in-law in early January in attempt to seize control of the team from them for her children.

The widow alleged in her complaint that Peter, before his death, revealed his dying wish was for her to take control of the Padres, followed by their children, and that her children hold the largest stake in ownership. She adds that Peter’s two brothers, Matt and Bob, “are trying to erase Peter’s vision and legacy, as well as falsely cast themselves as Peter’s true heirs.”

The suit also alleges that Bob’s wife made multiple “racist, profane and hateful communications directed at Sheel—a woman of Indian descent—in communications.”

Matt and Robert’s response, they claim that Peter never designated Sheel as the successor to the team during his life.

“Peter could have chosen to (a) give Sheel the right to be, designate, or approve the individual that controls the Padres, (b) give Sheel direct ownership or control over the Trust’s interest in the Padres, (c) give Sheel the right to approve or veto any transactions by the Trustees, or (d) require the Trustee to make any principal distribution that Sheel demands,” the response read.

The response claims Peter amended his trust at least seven times after their marriage and never named Sheel a successor trustee in any version and that she was precluded from “ever serving as a successor trustee under any circumstance.”

The response also claims that Peter said during his life that he wanted his siblings and niece to take control of the team after his death.

“Peter had numerous conversations with his siblings and others about successor Control Persons and consistently identified five Seidler family members as candidates: Bob, Matt, John, his brother Tom (who has a 30+ year career in baseball, including 12 years with the Padres), and his niece, Monica,” it read.

“In none of these conversations did Peter ever suggest or even imply that he wanted Sheel to run the Padres. As Peter told people close to him, he moved his family to Texas in 2021 in significant part because he wanted to ‘take pressure off Sheel and the kids’ and to ‘get Sheel out of the limelight.’ Peter knew all too well the potential effects of media attention, as well as the other pressures, stresses, and demands that come with owning a sports franchise.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Sheel for comment but has not received a response at the time of publication.

Peter died in November 2023 at the age of 63. He had been ill for months, though it has not been disclosed what exactly he’d been dealing with. Seidler is a cancer survivor who had health issues for quite some time.

He said in July 2023 that the Padres would stay within his family for generations after he passed away.

Peter was the founder of Seidler Equity Partners, which was a key piece of the group that purchased the Padres in 2012. Seidler’s uncle, also named Peter, and Ron Fowler were a part of the group, too.

The name of the group derives from Seidler’s grandfather, Walter O’Malley, who owned the Dodgers from 1950, when they first relocated from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, until 1979. Fowler transferred the role of chairman to Seidler in 2020, and then Seidler purchased part of Fowler’s stake in the organization to become the team’s largest stakeholder.

Prior to his death, he dealt out a series of high-cost contracts to superstar players in an effort to compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West division and win a World Series.

These contracts include Manny Machado’s $350 million deal, Fernando Tatis Jr.’s $340 million deal, Xander Bogaertz $280 million deal, and Yu Darvish’s $108 million deal.

The team was never able to reach the World Series, but they did defeat the rival Dodgers in playoff series in 2021 and 2022.

Charles Barkley places blame on politicians for ‘making us fight with each other’

Divisiveness is alive and well throughout the country, and NBA legend Charles Barkley has placed the blame on politicians for that.

Barkley’s “Inside the NBA” aired on Martin Luther King Day on Monday, when he, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny “The Jet” Smith were discussing the importance of the day, which also coincided with President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“I wish that people were smarter, personally,” Barkley began. “I think these politicians – both parties – I think both parties suck. But I think they do a really good job of making us not like each other.”

Barkley, a former CNN host, then gave his answer on what America has “become.”

“Racism exists, always has, always will, unfortunately. It’s a disaster. But what America has become is rich people against poor people. And I wish people would understand that politicians do a good job of making us fight with each other. But it’s really rich people against poor people,” Barkley said. “They try to make it about Black, white, immigration, homosexuality and all these different things, but what it is, is rich people making people not liking each other. And until we address that, we’re never gonna be successful.”

“These politicians have screwed up our world, making you pick a team,” Barkley added. “And that’s unfortunate because I’m not for anybody’s team. I’m for everybody’s team.”

Barkley has said he is “not a fan” of Trump and blamed the Democrats for losing because they were “stupid.”

“We still haven’t solved the immigration problem . . . never addressed inflation. Bringing all these stupid stars out to rally the vote, what was that? I love Beyoncé. That ain’t gonna make me vote a certain type of way . . . you guys lost because y’all stupid . . .” Barkley said on “The Steam Room” podcast with his “NBA on TNT” co-host Ernie Johnson shortly after the election.
