Jason Witten Breaks Patrick Mahomes, Jamal Adams' Pro Bowl MVP Trophy
Broadcaster and former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has had bet- ter days.
Witten broke the Pro Bowl MVP trophy as he was going to hand it to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and New York Jets safety Jamal Adams following the AFC's 26-7 victory over the NFC on Sunday.
As if that weren't enough, he said Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron—who notably played on a different team than Mahomes throughout the 2018 season— was the quarterback's "guy all
Tom Brady Says There's 'Zero' Chance He'll Retire After Super Bowl
TOM BRADY
Whether the New England Patriots win or lose Super Bowl 53 against the Los An- geles Rams next Sunday, Tom Brady is not ready to ride off into the sunset just yet.
When asked during an in- terview with ESPN that aired Sunday if there was any chance his ninth Super Bowl would be his NFL swan song, Brady said: "Zero," curling his thumb and fingers into a "0" shape to emphasize the point.
"I feel like I'm asked that a lot and I feel like I repeat the same answer, but no one wants to believe me," said the 41-year-old Brady, who has previously said he wants to play until he reaches age 45.
"I’ve set a goal for myself at 45 and like I said before, it’s very hard to make it that far," he said. "I know how hard it was this year, you know, and the commitment it takes and hopefully I’ve learned from some of the things that happened this year to be better next year. But every year’s tough."
As Jason Witten was congratulating the AFC winners, Jamal Adams (l) and Patrick Mahomes (r), he broke the Pro Bowl trophy right off the base.

While the trophy cere- mony didn't go as planned, Mahomes won the Offen-
sive MVP behind 156 passing yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions. Adams tallied an interception, a sack and two tackles to take home the Defensive MVP.
Nineteen years ago, Ray Lewis, the legendary Balti- more Ravens middle line- backer, and a couple of friends were arrested outside of an At- lanta nightclub on charges of stabbing two men to death. The most serious charges were dropped and he pled guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice.
Now Lewis, 43, a Super Bowl champion, NFL Hall of Famer and a sportscaster, has spent nearly two decades re- building his reputation. Next weekend, he will once again converge in Atlanta to witness the Super Bowl, and to pro- mote healing, using his celebrity status to bring expo- sure to his Ray of Hope Foun- dation– which solicits hopeful messages from celebrities and

athletes to send to those in need– and raise money for his foundation.
The Gold Jacket Party for a Purpose is expected to attract dozens of professional athletes and celebrities. Lewis ex- plained that it draws out the real reason why he is doing this: to help others.
“Purpose is forever,” Lewis said. “The game comes and goes but purpose is for- ever.”
Aqib Talib Calls Tom Brady The GOAT Before Super Bowl LIII
Drake And Odell Beckham, Jr.
There's no bad blood be- tween former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib and his former club, es- pecially when it comes to quarterback Tom Brady.
The Rams corner was with New England from 2012-13 and is now gearing up to go against them as they are vying for their sixth championship in franchise history. All six of those titles have come on the shoulders of Tom Brady, who'll be playing in the ninth Super Bowl of his career.
“He’s the G.O.A.T., man – one of the best to do it," Talib said of his former quarterback in Brady.

"Super competitive guy and he’s really like the offen- sive coordinator on the field.”
Not only was Talib willing to dub Tom Brady as the NFL's GOAT, but Rams head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Jared Goff were also bowing at the alter.

Lil Wayne Signs NFL Draft
Drake and Odell Beck- ham, Jr. have been slapped with a lawsuit over a brawl that went down at a popular hotspot in West Hollywood last year.
Surveillance footage showed the plaintiff, Ben- nett Sipes, getting attacked at Delilah nightclub on March 24, 2018. Kourtney Kar- dashian’s ex-boyfriend Younes Bendjima was one of the men involved with the assault. Drake and Odell are seen on the sideline with other spectators of the fight.
Sipes claims that as he began leaving the VIP area after having a verbal con- frontation with the defen- dants, Drake gave the “throat slash” hand gesture, which he took as a threat. As he then attempted to enter

Sipes alleges Drake and Odell ordered the attack, which has caused him “ex- treme mental anguish and physical pain.” He is also suing Bendjima as well as Delilah nightclub for not pro- viding adequate security.
