Patrick Mahomes Lost the Super Bowl So Badly It Made ‘First Take’ Remember Joe Montana
Back on Jan. 22 Stephen A. Smith didn’t just say that Patrick Mahomes putting together a threepeat for the Kansas City Chiefs would make him the best quarterback ever. The First Take star went so far as to say it would “cement” the Chiefs QB into that position, even though he’d still trail Tom Brady 7-4 in Super Bowl wins. It was quite a thing to say but Super Bowl LIX was on the horizon and everyone gets a bit of Super Bowl fever.
It became quite clear on Sunday night that there was no need to get the cement trucks out to do work in this debate as the Philadelphia Eagles made a mockery of the Chiefs offense in building a 40-6 lead in en route to their own championship. Mahomes was not just bad by his own standards, he was plain old bad—and he took responsibility for it in the postgame.
So in the span of about 28 minutes of action, weeks of sitting in front of a camera and suggesting seriously that Mahomes is somehow more accomplished and better than Brady in the business of winning unraveled. That’s a tough blow but the best pundits are real pros and can pivot on a dime.
Smith chose to do this, incredibly, by suddenly bringing Joe Montana into the equation on Monday’s show and declaring the NFL GOAT debate “officially over.”
“We ain’t going to be talking about this right now, we ain’t going to be talking about this next year,” Smith said before showing Mahomes’s less impressive cumulative Super Bowl stats. “We gotta bring Joe Montana back into this conversation back into this conversation because of what we witnessed yesterday. Joe Montana: 4-0, 68 percent completions, 285.5 passing yards, 11 touchdowns not a single interception.”

“After this Super Bowl, it’s one thing to be talking about Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. After this Super Bowl we’re talking about Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Montana. Montana has been added to the conversation.”
So there you go. The big winner from the Super Bowl, in addition to the Eagles, is a quarterback who retired in 1994. It’s all very confusing, especially because this is the same person who went the furthest in Mahomes’s direction during a nonsensical debate where somehow a threepeat would count for triple the credit or something. But that’s how all of this works.
This may surprise you but Montana’s stats and accomplishments are the exact same today as they were last week, two weeks, and 30 years ago. It just took the Eagles’ front four getting immense pressure against a suspect line to dust off. That’s the beauty of sports and sports takery. Nothing is predictable.

French Montana Shares Rare Insight into Khloe Kardashian Relationship
Where Khloe Kardashian Stands With Ex French Montana More Than 10 Years After Breakup
French Montana is done keeping up with reality TV.
In fact, he only agreed to appear on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons over a decade ago as a favor to then-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian.
“She said to get on the show,” he exclusively told E! News at the BET Awards on June 28. “And I got on the show. Shout out to Khloe.”
The “Ever Since U Left Me” rapper, who split with Kardashian in December 2014 after eight months of dating, said the experience was “fun” because her family kept it real.
“They filmed their real life,” he continued. “And we were part of something together that one time. So it felt great. It didn’t feel like work because they film what they do everyday.”
As for his future in reality TV, the 41-year-old said those days are over, shutting down any prospective offers with a simple, “Negative.”
Although the “Unforgettable” artist—whose real name is Karim Kharbouch—may not be returning to television anytime soon, he has no problem hanging out with his ex-girlfriend these days.

Montana nurse and Guard member earns national Air Force recognition
GREAT FALLS — For Staff Sgt. Brianna St. Lawrence-Brody, service does not only happen in uniform.
Outside the gates of the base, she works at Benefis as a nurse, Great Falls Public Schools as a school nurse, and comes home as a wife and mom of four. For the Montana Air National Guard, she serves as a command post controller with the 120th Airlift Wing in Great Falls.

Montana nurse and Guard member earns national Air Force recognition
This year, St. Lawrence-Brody was named the U.S. Air National Guard’s Outstanding Airman of the Year in the Non-Commissioned Officer category.
She said the recognition came as a surprise, especially because her path into the Guard started later than others.
“I joined very late in life,” St. Lawrence-Brody said. “I joined the Guard right before I turned 40. So for me, every opportunity that’s presented, I want to take the bull by the horns and just run with it and do the best of my ability.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she joined the Guard after finishing nursing school. She said she went straight from nursing school into helping open a COVID unit, while also working at Benefis.
She said that experience was the start of one journey, but not the whole of what she wanted to accomplish.
St. Lawrence-Brody joined the Guard for the opportunities, the challenge and to help build a future for her four children.
“It’s a little bit of a competition for myself,” she said. “Like, if I can do it, why not try my best to achieve it?”
120th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
As a command post controller, she assists in helping move information during emergencies and major events.
“Outside, obviously, I’m a nurse. Inside the Guard, I have nothing to do with the medical field, which is kind of amazing,” St. Lawrence-Brody said. “It keeps me on my toes.”
She explained balancing the Guard, two civilian jobs and four children takes support from her family, her employers and her unit. She said Benefis and GFPS have been supportive of her military service.
Her nomination included her deployment experience, training work overseas and involvement across the wing. St. Lawrence-Brody said she deployed to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where she worked with an operations center supporting entities connected to Africa.
But, she says this recognition is not the finish line.
“This award, it’s not necessarily a landing pad for me,” St. Lawrence-Brody said. “I want to use it as a springboard.”
120th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
St. Lawrence-Brody hopes her story encourages others to keep taking on new opportunities, even when they feel uncertain.
“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and be okay with doing things afraid,” she said. “I think when you get to be okay with doing things afraid, that’s where you’re going to find the growth.”
She has already won at the Air National Guard level, but she recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of the broader Air Force Outstanding Airman of the Year process, which includes nominees from the Guard, Reserve and major commands across the Air Force.
