Chiefs finalizing contract extension, pay increase for Andy Reid after Super Bowl: report

Longtime NFL head coach Andy Reid is now in his mid-60s. After a lengthy run with the Philadelphia Eagles, Reid took the reins in Kansas City in 2013. 

Reid has already won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs and will compete for a third championship later today. The combination of Reid’s age and accomplishments have sparked discussions on whether Reid will decide to walk away from coaching shortly after Super Bowl LVIII concludes. 

At the same time, many have argued that Reid is more motivated than ever to continue coaching. He has a superstar quarterback in Patrick Mahomes, who is just entering his prime and under contract for the foreseeable future. He has led the Chiefs to six straight AFC Championship games, and finally won the elusive championship he pursued for years in Philly.

Regardless of the outcome of Super Bowl LVIII, Kansas City’s window to compete for titles does not appear to be closing anytime soon. 

Why would Reid walk away from a situation he has wanted to be a part of for so long? 

Nevertheless, Reid fielded questions about his eventual retirement this week leading up to the big game in Las Vegas. He largely downplayed the speculation about him calling it quits.

On Sunday, CBS Sports reported that Reid will likely receive a contract extension offer shortly after the Super Bowl, whether the Chiefs win or lose the game. Reid led the Eagles to one Super Bowl appearance and today marks his fifth overall appearance in the big game as an NFL head coach.

His track record of success appears to have also prompted the Chiefs to offer Reid a bump in his salary, according to the report. Reid inked a six-year extension four years ago. He has two years remaining on the deal.

Reid is reportedly the 10th highest-paid active NFL coach. Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh, who both coach in the same division with Reid, are believed to currently earn more than Reid. 

Payton has won one Vince Lombardi trophy, while Harbaugh appeared in one Super Bowl during his stint with the San Francisco 49ers.

Reid has not publicly stated his intentions to coach in 2024, but all signs point to a return to the Chiefs sideline. The team has not held any formal talks about succession planning, CBS Sports reported.

Reid has the second-most postseason wins in NFL history, only trailing former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. He has a combined win-loss record of 283-160, and has one tie in his career. Reid’s win total is fourth all-time. The Chiefs have never finished a season with a losing record with Reid at the helm.

Reid’s arrival in Kansas City helped reverse the franchise’s fortunes. The Chiefs held an all-time postseason record of 8-14 before Reid took over. The record has since improved to 23-21.

Reid has already cemented his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A victory today would simply be icing on the cake.

Becky Lynch enters exclusive WWE club with Women’s Intercontinental Championship win at WrestleMania 42

Becky Lynch entered an atmosphere no other WWE women’s superstar has ever reached as she won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship over AJ Lee on Saturday night at WrestleMania 42.

Lynch became the first person to hold the Women’s Intercontinental Championship three times after she pinned Lee. She first won the title against Lyra Valkyria in June 2025 and then again against Maxxine Dupri in November.

She dropped the belt to Lee at the Elimination Chamber, sparking a monthslong feud with her.

Lee gave Lynch the chance at the title in the weeks prior to WrestleMania 42. But it appeared Lee played right into Lynch’s plans. Despite arguing with referee Jessica Carr for most of the match, Lynch was able to tactfully tear down a rope buckle and use it to her advantage.

Lynch hit Lee with a Manhandle Slam and pinned her for the win.

It’s the second straight year Lynch will leave Las Vegas as champion. She returned to WWE at WrestleMania 41, teaming with Valkyria, to win the women’s tag titles. She will now leave Allegiant Stadium as the women’s intercontinental champion.

Lynch is now a seven-time women’s champion, three-time women’s intercontinental champion and two-time tag team champion.

Lee’s reign as champion ended really before it could really begin. WrestleMania 42 was her first appearance at the event in 11 years. It’s unclear where Lee will go from here.

Letters to Sports: Clippers were oh so close, yet so far

p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”>

The Clippers’ season has come to an end but better than anyone expected. No consolation but a great job by head coach Tyronn Lue for guiding the Clippers from a disastrous 6-21 start and finishing with more than 40 wins.

Coach Lue led the team, overcoming major obstacles throughout the season with a player investigation, injuries, internal strife and major roster changes at the trade deadline. As usual for Clipper fans, wait till next year.

The Clippers are the NBA’s version of Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle With You.” Yes, they have had 15 straight seasons of playing .500 or better, and owner Steve Ballmer has brought them respectability, but for their entire 56-year existence — which has contained many clowns and jokers — they still have never [attained] their goal of winning (or even reaching) the NBA Finals.

Paul Walter Hauser is an actor who has been in “The Naked Gun,” “Blackbird,” and “Richard Jewell.” But on Friday night at Maple Leaf Pro’s first U.S. event, MLP Multiverse, there was no acting going on.

It was a rematch of their brawl at Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor event. Marshall went on the attack first, throwing in all kinds of foreign objects into the ring, including a piece of wood wrapped with barbed wire, a table, a cane, chairs and even a door was brought into the match.

Hauser was able to regain momentum in the match. He set up the barbed-wire object in the corner. Marshall countered and was trying to whip Hauser into the barbed wire. However, Hauser stopped himself. As Marshall tried to take Hauser by surprise, the movie star avoided Marshall and tossed him into the barbed wire.

Marshall was busted open, but wasn’t done. Hauser was trying to inflict more pain. He set up a table near one corner of the ring and poured thumbtacks on top of it. Marshall was able to powerbomb Hauser through the tacked table.
