The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles made an look on “Saturday Evening Reside” forward of Tremendous Bowl LVII. With the massive sport only a week away, you realize that the writers at SNL couldn’t resist. On this skit, they set their sights on restaurant commercials which are centered across the Tremendous Bowl.
Pedro Pascal hosted the newest episode of SNL and performed a key function within the “Wing Pit” sketch. If you happen to’re unfamiliar with Pascal, he’s recognized for his current function as Joel in HBO’s “The Final of Us.” You may not acknowledge his face from his different function as Din Djarin or Mando within the Disney Plus hit Star Wars sequence “The Mandalorian.”
SNL’s description of the sketch involving Pascal is about as correct because it will get: “A wing business for a Tremendous Bowl celebration goes off the rails.”

Basically, this wing restaurant has sufficient celebration platter sizes to feed an entire soccer staff or a number of. You’ll see that Pascal is carrying a Patrick Mahomes jersey in the course of the sketch and Keenan Thompson is sporting Eagles gear within the skit.
You possibly can watch the total sketch at high of the web page or go to SNL’s YouTube channel.
The Kansas State Wildcats decided to switch things up a bit by wearing alternate uniforms for Thursday’s Rate Bowl against Rutgers in Phoenix.
The biggest difference was trading in silver for a white helmet. While most fans liked the look, there were some who weren’t impressed. They felt the Wildcats unis were fine as they were.
Kansas State is going to contend for a Big 12 title next year. Also, they should keep these unis.
I can’t lie, silver to white is pretty much negligible in my eyes, especially from a distance. Glad we let the seniors get what they want but it’s not significant or flashy enough for me to notice from a glance
Many were more concerned with the Wildcats’ bad luck wearing new digs. They entered having lost the previous four games in a different uniform. It didn’t help K-State trailed 27-17 at halftime to make more fans dislike the new look.
Kansas State has one of the best uniforms in the sport with the silver pants and helmet. Why would you ever go away from that?
Rutgers added to their lead with a field goal after picking off Wildcats quarterback Johnson.

Kansas City Chief’s Hollywood Brown Has A Real Estate Investment Company And Wants to Empower Other Athletes To Invest
The statistics aren’t kind. Eighty percent of pro athletes go broke soon after retiring. Kansas City Chiefs‘ Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will not be among them. Despite NFL stars’ eight-figure contracts, in most cases, their financial literacy does not match their salaries. Brown wants to change that.
“Players often leave their finances up to financial advisers who tend to invest in more traditional avenues, like stocks, because those methods also earn money for the advisers,” Brown told Mansion Global.
Don’t Miss:
“It hurts, seeing the stories of these guys who end up with nothing,” he said. “It’s a problem within the NFL, specifically for guys like myself who come from a background without a lot of money. We’re not educated on how to handle finances,” Brown, who has earned $25 million during a five-year career, continued.

The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, who was first drafted to the NFL in 2019 – first playing for the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens before signing with the Chiefs this year – has cofounded Platinum Pro Capital, a private equity real estate firm with his wife, real estate influencer Zoei Brown. The firm has joined Jason Caraway of Island Sky Investments to educate professional athletes on the advantages of luxury real estate investing – in their case – in the Caribbean and other resort areas.

According to Bloomberg, the company has backed an oceanfront luxury condo development in the U.S. Virgin Islands, is renovating a resort in Grand Bahama Island and is planning other projects in South Florida and Costa Rica.
Player investors are not urged to buy high-end rental properties from Brown’s company. Rather, they invest in his fund passively for returns on their money and the option to stay in vacation properties for free during the off-season.
“A lot of guys in our field, they like luxurious things, they are drawn to attractive places,” Brown said. “And a lot of us travel in the offseason, so instead of having a traditional house, they are drawn to places that feel like a vacation. That’s appealing to guys. I feel like it creates a sense of unity. So, owning property on Caribbean islands saves money in the long term because that’s where everybody wants to travel in the offseason. It really caught the eye of a lot of people.”

Of course, Marquise Brown isn’t the only NFL player with a penchant for real estate investing. Many players invest individually or as a group with other players. In fact, Brown’s teammate at Kansas, Justin Watson, is an investor in Teal Henderson’s Bones Investment Group, which, as of 2023, had 78 active investors, 97% of them athletes in the NFL. Bones Investment Group’s strategy is different from Brown’s, however. They invest in commercial buildings with tenants such as Publix, Home Depot, Target, Burger King, CVS and Walmart.
“If I can expand these athletes’ horizons and kind of put them out there, you know their work ethic and their drive and their desire,” Henderson, whose husband is a former college football player and NFL agent, told ESPN, “they’re gonna dominate, right? And they’re just not in the commercial space because no one has given them the exposure and the access to it.”
