Chiefs Give Contract Extension to Coach Andy Reid

So do team president Mark Donovan and general manager Brett Veach. The Chiefs announced that they have signed all three to contract extensions.

The Chiefs didn’t announce terms of the deals but said that “the leadership team of the Chiefs will remain in place for the long-term future.” 

The deal will also make Andy Reid the NFL’s highest-paid head coach. 

Knicks Advance to the Eastern Conference Semis

Jalen Brunson had 41 points and 12 assists to lead the Knicks, who are set for an Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with Indiana. The Pacers beat Milwaukee in six games and advanced to the second round for the first time in 10 years.

Jalen Brunson is the first NBA player to score 40 or more to close out a series since Michael Jordan for Chicago against Cleveland in 1989.

In a series defined by tight games, Hart hit the clutch shot that made it 114-111 and again had “Let’s go Knicks! Let’s go Knicks!” chants echoing throughout Philly’s home court. Joel Embiid scored a bucket but fouled out on the next possession. Donte DiVincenzo sealed New York’s win with two free throws.

New York Mets Will Retire Numbers of Strawberry, Gooden

The team will retire both Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden’s numbers during separate pregame ceremonies.

There are five other players whose numbers the Mets have retired: Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, Jerry Koosman, Keith Hernandez and Willie Mays.

“I’m thrilled that two iconic members of the 1986 championship club will have their numbers retired in 2024,” Mets owner Steve Cohen said in a statement. 

“Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden each had an enormous impact on our franchise and it’s my honor to continue our commitment to celebrating our wonderful history.”

Strawberry debuted in 1983 and took home NL Rookie of the Year honors. 

He spent eight seasons with the team, earning seven All-Star selections and breaking the team record for all-time home runs with 252.

Gooden debuted in 1984 and dazzled over 11 years in Queens, with the highlight coming in 1985 when he won the NL Cy Young Award after winning the pitching triple crown, leading the league in wins (24), ERA (1.53) and strikeouts (268).
