Chiefs headlines for Thursday, May 15
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce join Big Slick KC 2025 event | Kansas City Star
This is in no way shade or disrespect to the many celebrities who come to Kansas City every year to raise money for Children’s Mercy during Big Slick Celebrity Weekend.
But there are two stars in particular who tend to draw the wildest cheers from the KC crowds: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his football BFF, tight end Travis Kelce.
So the good news for their fans today is that both are on the guest list for this year’s event. The two-day event takes place May 30-31.
The annual weekend raises money for pediatric cancer research at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. Organizers on Wednesday announced two other guests from the sports world: Longtime FOX NFL Sunday host Curt Menefee and WWE star now Food Network chef Tom Pestock (previously known as Baron Corbin), a Kansas City native. Both are Big Slick veterans.
2025 NFL Schedule: Five Teams That Got Screwed | Sports illustrated
I had a similar complaint about the Jets’ schedule a year ago, when Aaron Rodgers was the league’s dog and pony showcase. I understand the reality of being a branded franchise in the NFL, but the Chiefs were absolutely torn apart by the NFL’s competing broadcast partners this year like a teddy bear being pawed at by a set of spoiled triplets. The Chiefs play in Brazil to start the season—and we all saw how well the setup was there last year, with both teams miraculously avoiding a swarm of soft tissue injuries—before heading home for a physical and emotional Super Bowl rematch against the Eagles. Then: Sunday Night Football in another time zone (Giants), vs. the Ravens in America’s Game of the Week, Monday Night Football at Jacksonville and Detroit on Sunday Night Football before a respite against the Raiders at 1 p.m. ET. This is the first time in NFL history that five of a team’s first eight games are in prime time—and it’s a team that also plays on both Thanksgiving and Christmas! Are we really that superstar deprived to necessitate this?

Loser: Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs aim to rebound from their 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. A tough stretch at the beginning of the season could make that challenging.
In six of its first nine games, KC faces six teams that made the playoffs last season. This stretch includes a Super Bowl rematch against the Eagles at home in Week 2 and a road game against the Bills in Week 9.
The Chiefs went 15-2 in 2024, winning 11 games by one possession. Can they bank on that luck again in 2025? They may need it.
