Travis Kelce is using renewable energy tax credits to finance the film “My Dead Friend Zoe.” The SXSW-bound indie, which stars Natalie Morales, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman, marks Kelce’s first foray into movies, with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end serving as an executive producer. The investors in the low-budget dark comedy, which include Kelce, are the first to take advantage of 2022’s Inflation Reduction Act to finance a film. (“My Dead Friend Zoe” cost less than $10 million.) https://variety.com/2024/film/news/travis-kelce-my-dead-friend-zoe-financed-energy-tax-credits-1235908057/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It’s crazy to think, but Kansas City was criticized more for drafting Mahomes than Chicago was for drafting Trubisky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 so, am i the last fan to learn this...? if the overtime period clock had run down to zero and the Chiefs still possessed the ball, another overtime period would have started. as each team not only gets a chance to possess the ball in overtime, but to carry their possession to a conclusion. In the postseason, the end of the first overtime period doesn’t end anything. From the rulebook: “If the score is tied at the end of a 15-minute overtime period, or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended, another overtime period will begin, and play will continue, regardless of how many 15-minute periods are necessary.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the end of the 1st quarter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen one double overtime game in my life, Jets vs Browns, sometime in the mid-eighties when I was 7-8 years old. I didn’t remember what happened there except the Browns won.

vike daddy Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Tom Brady is speaking out in defense of Travis Kelce. After the Kansas City Chiefs tight end made headlines for pushing and yelling at head coach Andy Reid during Super Bowl LVIII, the NFL legend spoke out about the moment on his podcast. Brady: "There's always little family issues and of course I don't mind seeing it 'cause I was a part of a lot of those things. Emotions are so high. You are definitely not centered and balanced. You're not in a meditative state at that point. You are fully determined to go out there and to win." "So I think a lot of the things that are said during the games, people should just let them fly off their back. And I actually think Coach Reid handled it just awesome, like he always does, 'cause he just said, 'I was a little off balance and Travis is such a competitor.' And I love that because it just speaks to his leadership ability." "It speaks to the self-confidence that Coach Reid has in himself, too, 'cause he doesn't take that personally at all. He doesn't look at that and feel like someone offended him. He takes it for what it is and doesn't make it more than it is and doesn't see someone's trying to belittle him. Travis is not trying to do any of those things. He's just trying to be fired up and stay in the moment." https://www.etonline.com/tom-brady-defends-travis-kelce-for-yelling-at-chiefs-coach-andy-reid-at-super-bowl-emotions-are-so?fbclid=IwAR1wkZ-uYrp8VY4vfDjGR9HcudC-y-8D5nP_R8E0kpnE_2lBVnBRc--IOfQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 At least one person was killed and as many as 15 others injured in a shooting in Kansas City, Missouri, after a rally Wednesday celebrating the Chiefs Super Bowl victory, authorities said. Of the injured, three were in critical condition, five were in serious condition and one person had non-life-threatening injuries, Kansas City Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins said. Two people were detained after the shooting near a garage west of Union Station, the Kansas City Police Department said in a statement. The department did not identify suspects. The shooting appears to be criminal in nature and not terrorism, according to a preliminary investigation, three law enforcement officials briefed on the incident said. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/shooting-kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-celebration-union-station-rcna138883 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
