The conversation shifts to weather in football and why using it as an excuse is soft, with home-field advantage meaning home conditions.

The conversation shifts to the Chiefs’ uncertain future with Travis Kelce possibly retiring and Rashee Rice’s ongoing legal issues.

Plus, Hollywood’s Headlines features Coco Gauff’s racket smash, LeBron’s $1 million card, and Paul Pierce’s paternity lawsuit.
