Patrick Mahomes can close GOAT gap on Tom Brady in significant way with Super Bowl 2025 win
NY Post
NEW ORLEANS — Patrick Mahomes has been chasing greatness from the moment Andy Reid tapped him on the shoulder and handed him the keys to the Chiefs kingdom, and he has chased it so feverishly and so furiously that he already finds himself chasing down Tom Brady.
Joe Montana was the GOAT for a while, but he stopped at four Super Bowl championships — and Tom Brady didn’t stop until he won seven.
And now, with Brady out to pasture, Mahomes is driven to make threepeat history in Super Bowl 2025 and simultaneously fuel a new version of The Great GOAT Debate.

Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.

PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
