NFL – Dispute may have led to the mass shooting after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade
Police say the shooting that left one person dead and nearly two dozen injured after the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade appeared to stem from a dispute between several people. Police Chief Stacey Graves said Thursday that the 22 injured people ranged in age from 8 to 47 years old, with half of them were under the age of 16. A mother of two was killed. Police say they detained three juveniles but released one who they determined wasn’t involved, leaving two in custody. Investigators are asking for witnesses and victims to call a dedicated hotline. The shooting outside the city’s historic Union Station happened despite the presence of more than 800 police officers.
NFL – Championship parades likely to change in wake of shooting at Chiefs celebration
Kansas City’s mayor and security experts say it could be time to rethink the way teams celebrate their championships. Mayor Quinton Lucas said if the Chiefs win another Super Bowl it might be better for a smaller party at their home stadium, where security can be managed more easily. One person was killed and 22 others wounded when gunfire broke out shortly after the Chiefs left the stage at their victory rally. Police say they believe the shooting was the result of a dispute among individuals in the crowd, and not a terrorist attack. Security experts say large gatherings combine with the prevalence of guns to make a deadly combination.
NFL – Bears great Steve McMichael, who’s battling ALS, hospitalized with UTI
Chicago Bears great Steve McMichael, who is battling ALS, has been hospitalized because of a urinary tract infection. McMichael’s family said in a statement Thursday he was admitted into intensive care at a suburban Chicago hospital and was being treated with three antibiotics. They asked for “continued prayers” for “Steve’s speedy recovery.” The news comes one week after the 66-year-old McMichael was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is scheduled to be inducted on Aug. 3 as part of a class that includes former Bears Julius Peppers and Devin Hester.
NFL – Bears release former All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson, OL Cody Whitehair
The Chicago Bears have released former All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair. Jackson was a fourth-round draft pick by Chicago in 2017. He had 15 interceptions and returned three for touchdowns in seven seasons. He also ran back three fumble recoveries for scores. Jackson was All-Pro in 2018 when he had six interceptions and returned two for TDs. He made his second Pro Bowl the following season. Jackson recorded one interception in 12 games last year. Whitehair was a second-round pick by Chicago in 2016. He made the Pro Bowl in 2018. Whitehair played in 124 games and started 118, mostly at center or left guard. The Bears went 7-10 last season. They have the first and ninth overall picks in the draft in April.
MLB – Rob Manfred says he will retire as baseball commissioner in 2029 after 14 years
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says he will retire when his current term ends in January 2029. Speaking at a spring training news conference, Manfred noted he will be 70 years old and been commissioner for 14 years when his term ends on Jan. 25, 2029.

Owners voted in November 2018 to offer Manfred a new deal through the 2024 season, then voted last July to approve his latest term.
