It’s patently fair to think that both the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be among the leading contenders to win Super Bowl 60 at the end of the 2025 NFL season. Both teams have star-studded rosters. They’ve combined for 11 appearances in conference title games over the past seven seasons – K.C. qualifying each of those years – a period when no other club has made it that far more than twice. And, of course, the Chiefs and Niners have met on two of the past six Super Sundays.

Yet Thursday seemed to illustrate a – maybe the – major difference between these proud franchises and might even be the reason that Kansas City beat San Francisco in both of those Super Bowls while winning another and appearing in five overall since the start of the 2019 campaign.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, was asked about the challenge of resetting and resuming the relentless football grind after a Super Bowl defeat – February’s blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles preventing K.C. from becoming the first team to capture three successive Lombardi Trophies.

“I feel like I focus every year, because I know how special of a run that we’re on and how many years left I’ll have with all these great players and a great team,” said Mahomes. “And every team is different and you don’t want to miss an opportunity.

“When you lose a Super Bowl, I think there’s sometimes in those workouts – you might be a little tired – (but) you have that extra, added motivation to finish even harder or finish even stronger.”

NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where teams stand post-draft

It was the latest insight into the mindset of Mahomes and his dynasty – both might have a case as the greatest in league history by the time their runs conclude – especially in the face of a rare setback. And let’s not forget, the 2024 Chiefs somehow won a franchise record 15 regular-season games and, then, the conference – even though they couldn’t protect Mahomes (sacked a career-high 36 times), couldn’t consistently run the ball and lost No. 1 wideout Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4.

Compare that effort to the 2024 49ers, who followed up their overtime loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl 58 with a 6-11 campaign – their worst since 2018, when the team was forced to use three starting quarterbacks. And, yes, last season’s Niners were stripped of several key players – Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Dre Greenlaw, Javon Hargrave – due to injuries for most of the year.

Yet coach Kyle Shanahan, who previously signaled his most recent outfit was out of sorts from training camp onward, admitted Thursday, “I felt guys weren’t ready to come back. And I understood that. But I told them how I won’t really understand it this year.”

The dreaded Super Bowl hangover, emotional debilitation or whatever you want to call it felt like the latest excuse for an organization that’s had several as its championship drought now extends beyond three decades.

There was former quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s fourth-quarter overthrow of wide open Emmanuel Sanders in Super Bowl 54, a game the 49ers probably win if the connection is made. There was safety Jaquiski Tartt’s dropped interception in the fourth quarter of the 2021 NFC championship game – and if he hangs on, San Francisco (not the Los Angeles Rams) almost surely reaches Super Bowl 56. Then there was the late defensive collapse and Shanahan’s controversial decision to receive the opening kickoff of overtime in Super Bowl 58 – which actually might have been the right call regardless – which Kansas City ultimately claimed 25-22 on a game-ending touchdown.

The Niners have also been occasionally sideswiped by major injuries in recent seasons and always seem to be in the midst of significant contractual issues every summer – though that shouldn’t be the case in 2025, especially now that Brock Purdy is no longer on the quarterbacking version of welfare.

Still, funny how that stuff never seems to affect the Chiefs, who unfailingly reach the league’s version of the final four no matter what roadblocks are thrown at them. Coach Andy Reid attributes much of it to his veteran leaders, players like Mahomes who don’t skate during or skip out on the team’s offseason program.

“All the good leaders have been here,” Reid said. “It’s good to have them there. When they’re there, it’s a certain energy that comes with it. Expectations from all the … new guys – free agent type or the college kids – and they set a tempo with that.”

Meanwhile, Shanahan’s just glad to have perfect attendance for a change after so many years of seeing the spring and summer sidetracked in some capacity by financial standoffs between his players and the front office.

“I thought the coolest thing was everyone being there on the first day,” Shanahan said in reference to the start of this year’s offseason program.

“We had every guy show up and I didn’t have to call anyone and beg them, which said a lot.”

Sure does, even if Shanahan intended it as a compliment to his current crew after several expensive veterans were purged in recent months as the team cleared room for Purdy’s five-year, $265 million extension.

Tight end George Kittle, who was extended along with Purdy and linebacker Fred Warner, says having the business side of football resolved should help on the field.

“I’m glad they decided to do that,” said the six-time Pro Bowler. “That’s awesome for us because now we have everybody in the building that’s just focused on playing football and focusing on just getting a little bit better every single day.

“It’s good for football because now all we’re focused on is football.”

San Francisco’s stars paid, the team drawing the league’s easiest schedule (the Niners’ 2025 opponents had a collective winning percentage of .415 last season), McCaffrey apparently back to 100% and after an atypically long offseason to retool and recover, Shanahan knows this year’s squad has little to rationalize.

“The year before last year coming off the ‘23 season was one of the shorter breaks that we’ve had, having that tough loss in the Super Bowl and coming back really just like six weeks later,” he said.

“It’s never fun to have January off, but those extra five weeks add up a lot, and I think guys were itching to get back this time, excited to get back, ready to go for the first day, and it’s been a lot more fun that way.”

As for the Chiefs, saddled with another tough first-place schedule full of prime-time games plus a Week 1 pilgrimage to Brazil, they’ll turn the adversity of an embarrassing Super Bowl showing into their own fun.

“I think it’ll be good for us at the end of the day,” said Mahomes. “I mean, obviously looking back you want to win the game, but a lot of those (younger teammates) hadn’t lost one – hadn’t ended a season on a loss that are on this team now. So I’m sure they’ll be motivated to go back out there and try to find a way to get to the Super Bowl and win it this year.”

A lesson the current 49ers have yet to learn and a goal they have yet to reach.

The eight-team 2025 Women’s College World Series field is set.

No. 2 Oklahoma dominated No. 15 Alabama in the super regionals, advancing to Oklahoma City for the ninth consecutive time while also searching for its fifth straight national championship. No. 12 Texas Tech earned its first ever WCWS appearance, Ole Miss was the lone unseeded team to make the final eight, and No. 6 Texas, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 9 UCLA fought back from Game 1 losses in super regionals to advance.

The SEC sent five teams to Oklahoma City (Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Ole Miss), the Big Ten has two (UCLA and No. 16 Oregon), while Texas Tech represents the Big 12.

World Boxing, the new organization slated to run the boxing events at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, announced Friday it had enacted a mandatory sex-testing policy with Algerian gold medalist Imane Khelif slated to return to competition next week at the Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands. 

Khelif became one of the main storylines of last summer’s Paris Games when the International Boxing Association alleged she had been disqualified from an event in March 2023 because she did not pass a chromosome-based gender verification test.

The International Olympic Committee, which stripped the IBA of its governing body status after a corruption investigation, questioned the credibility of the IBA’s testing process and allowed Khelif to compete in the female category on the basis of being listed as a female on her Algerian passport.  

Amid several days of international controversy, the 26-year-old Khelif won the gold medal in the welterweight division and said afterward: “I am a woman like any other woman. I was born a woman, I have lived as a woman, I compete as a woman. There is no doubt about that.”

Controversy bubbled up again in recent days when Khelif was entered in Eindhoven, prompting World Boxing’s rush to introduce sex testing under “special or emergency circumstances,” even as the organization acknowledged that its “Sex, Age and Weight” policies were still in development. 

“In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing,’ according to the release.

Last fall, the French publication Le Correspondant published what it claimed was a leaked 2023 medical report on Khelif showing that she was born with a rare genetic trait called 5-Alpha reductase type 2 deficiency, which is essentially an intersex condition or so-called difference in sexual development that showed in the presence of XY chromosomes, testosterone levels higher than the typical woman and internal testes.

Though some individual sport governing bodies like World Aquatics and World Athletics have developed participation policies on issues like transgender athletes and athletes with DSDs, the IOC stopped mandatory chromosome testing prior to the 2000 Olympics. That 25-year-old policy change was made at the urging of scientists and geneticists who did not endorse the so-called cheek swab method as precise enough to portray a full biological picture, given the vast array of mutations and conditions that could cause chromosomal anomalies without conferring an obvious or problematic competitive advantage.

The IOC cited this history, as well as the IBA’s opaque testing process and lack of due process afforded to Khelif, in explaining why she was allowed to compete in Paris. 

Khelif had competed on the international boxing circuit for years before the 2024 Olympics without controversy, including at the Tokyo Games in 2021, where she lost in the quarterfinals. 

World Boxing’s announcement Friday said that national federations would be responsible for testing and to confirm the sex of their boxer, and that failure to do so could lead to sanctions against the country and the athlete. The organization also says it reserves the right to do its own testing to confirm certification. 

“Where test results for boxers that want to compete in the female category reveal Y chromosome genetic material and a potential DSD, the initial screenings will be referred to independent clinical specialists for genetic screening, hormonal profiles, anatomical examination or other valuation of endocrine profiles by medical specialists.” 

Though World Boxing says an appeals process will be available to boxers who fail chromosome testing, it’s unclear whether it will include some type of policy like World Athletics, which allows track and field athletes with DSDs to compete in the female category if their testosterone is lowered below 2.5 nanamoles per liter for at least six months. 

On May 29, both Oregon and Ole Miss began their respective journeys in the Women’s College World Series with national championship dreams firmly intact.

Just over a day later, one of them will be exiting the tournament, with their season abruptly over.

After low-scoring losses on Thursday, the Ducks and Rebels meet Friday in an elimination game at the WCWS at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.

No. 16 national seed Oregon fell in heartbreaking fashion Thursday against current Big Ten and longtime Pac-12 foe UCLA, with the Ducks tying the game in the top of the seventh inning only for the No. 9 seed Bruins to turn around and get a walk-off, two-run home run in the bottom half of the inning for a 4-2 victory.

Ole Miss was dealt a different kind of pain in a 1-0 loss to No. 12 Texas Tech on Thursday, managing only two baserunners and striking out 10 times against Red Raiders ace NiJaree Canady.

Though the loser of the matchup will head home from the double-elimination tournament, the winner will play again Sunday against the loser of Saturday’s game between No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 6 Texas, last year’s WCWS championship series participants.

The San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles are two of the NFC’s best teams over the last five years. They met in the 2022 NFC championship game with the Eagles winning and earning a spot in the Super Bowl. The next year, the two met in a regular season matchup with the 49ers getting the win en route to a Super Bowl berth as well.

Now, they’re making a deal for a pass rusher.

Philadelphia is reportedly sending edge rusher Bryce Huff to San Francisco for a future draft pick. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the deal. The trade won’t be processed until June 1.

The specific draft pick has not been disclosed. Due to losses in free agency, the 49ers are expected to get three compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, per OverTheCap: two in Round 4 due to losing guard Aaron Banks and cornerback Charvarius Ward as well as one in Round 5 for losing safety Talanoa Hufanga.

A move to secure Huff could involve one of those picks or earlier.

Huff is entering his age-27 season and spent the first four years of his NFL career with the New York Jets, three of which were under 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. The former undrafted free agent had his best season in 2023 under Saleh with 10 sacks.

Huff signed a three-year deal with the Eagles in 2024 and missed five games due to a torn ligament in his wrist.

Bryce Huff contract

Huff has reportedly reworked his contract to help this trade happen. Huff was set to make $16.75 million in 2025 – all guaranteed – but the Eagles have agreed to take on $9.05 million of that, leaving the 49ers to pay the remaining $7.95 million, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.

Here’s what he is slated to make in 2026 per OverTheCap:

2026

Base salary: $1.21 million
Cap number: $11.63 million
Guaranteed salary: $0

49ers edge depth chart

Huff joins a new-look defense in San Francisco for 2026. Here’s how things look at edge with that addition:

The 2025 NCAA baseball tournament is set to kick off Friday with regional action across 16 host sites.

As is the case in any tournament, some teams will have an easier path to reach the super regional – and eventually the Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Vanderbilt earned the No. 1 overall seed, but the Commodores don’t necessarily have the easiest path to reach the CWS.

Meanwhile, Southern Miss wrestled away the No. 16 seed and the final regional hosting privilege, but the Golden Eagles are rewarded with the toughest path to even reach the super regional round.

Here’s a power ranking of the toughest regionals in the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament based on the mean RPI of the four teams in the bracket:

1. Hattiesburg Regional

No. 16 Southern Miss: 19
Alabama: 13
Miami: 40
Columbia: 60
Median RPI: 33

The Golden Eagles barely earned the final top-16 seed to host the regional but will face the stiffest competition to reach the super regionals, which would be rewarded with potentially facing No. 1 Vanderbilt.

The Crimson Tide will come in with a chip on their shoulder after being denied a hosting bid despite finishing ranked No. 13 in RPI. The Hurricanes and Lions present the toughest draws as No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, respectively.

2. Knoxville Regional

No. 14 Tennessee: 10
Wake Forest: 30
Cincinnati: 34
Miami (Ohio): 80
Median RPI: 38.5

The defending national champion Vols don’t have an easy path by any means, as Wake Forest and Cincinnati have proven to be strong teams with top-34 RPIs during the regular season. Tennessee has the second-toughest regional opener, having to square off against Miami (Ohio).

If the Vols can come out of their regional, they’ll be as battle-tested as any team in the super regional round.

3. Corvallis Regional

No. 8 Oregon State: 7
TCU: 17
USC: 44
St. Mary’s: 89
Median RPI: 39.25

The Beavers earned the right to host not only a regional, but also a super regional if they can withstand the Corvallis Regional. Oregon State will have to get past a tough Horned Frogs team that narrowly missed making the tournament last season.

USC is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015, while Saint Mary’s won the West Coast Conference tournament championship.

4. Austin Regional

No. 2 Texas: 4
UTSA: 25
Kansas State: 37
Houston Christian: 94
Median RPI: 40

Not only did the Longhorns draw the short end of the stick by not getting the No. 1 overall seed, but they also have one of the hardest paths in the regional round. UTSA and Kansas State can give Texas a run for its money in the Austin Regional.

First-year coach Jim Schlossnagle has his work cut out with this regional draw.

5. Clemson Regional

No. 11 Clemson: 9
West Virginia: 28
Kentucky: 38
USC Upstate: 86
Median RPI: 40.25

Clemson will be one of a few seeded programs on upset alert, having to face a dangerous Mountaineers team. The Tigers don’t want to experience deja vu from last season when Florida walked into the Clemson Regional and knocked them off.

Playing in the SEC, Kentucky also played a gauntlet of a schedule and could prove to be a major challenge in the regional.

6. Oxford Regional

No. 10 Ole Miss: 12
Georgia Tech: 20
Western Kentucky: 42
Murray State: 90
Median RPI: 41

Ole Miss is back in the regionals for the first time since 2022 and hosting for the first time since 2021. However, the road to a super regional for the Rebels will be anything but easy.

The Yellow Jackets could very well have been hosting a regional if a game or two had gone their way in the regular season or the ACC tournament. Georgia Tech was projected to be one of the hosts leading up to the conference tournaments.

7. Conway Regional

No. 13 Coastal Carolina: 8
Florida: 18
East Carolina: 66
Fairfield: 74
Median RPI: 41.5

Coastal Carolina could argue it was underseeded after finishing with the No. 8 RPI in the country through conference championships. Yet, the Chanticleers are the No. 13 overall seed and face a squad that ended up winning a regional as a guest last season in Florida.

The Gators began the season 1-11 in SEC play but finished with 18 wins in their final 24 conference games. Florida is a dangerous visiting team, seeking its third consecutive College World Series trip. East Carolina and Fairfield are also ranked well within the top 75 in RPI.

8. Nashville Regional

No. 1 Vanderbilt: 1
Louisville: 32
ETSU: 36
Wright State: 102
Median RPI: 42.75

The Commodores earned the No. 1 seed after defeating Ole Miss 3-2 in the SEC tournament championship game and earning the No. 1 overall spot in the RPI heading into the selection show. Vanderbilt, despite a lofty baseball history, will be the top seed in the tournament for the second time in program history.

Vanderbilt will have to get past a pair of top 36 RPI-ranked teams, but it will open with a matchup against a Wright State team that went 2-10 against Quad-1 opponents.

9. Los Angeles Regional

No. 15 UCLA: 15
UC Irvine: 23
Arizona State: 49
Fresno State: 100
Median RPI: 46.75

The Bruins will have a tough test against UC Irvine and face a former Pac-12 opponent in Arizona State. However, opening against Fresno State gives UCLA a chance to open the tournament with positive momentum.

UCLA is playing in its first regional since 2022.

T-10. Chapel Hill Regional

No. 5 UNC: 6
Oklahoma: 26
Nebraska: 50
Holy Cross: 144
Median RPI: 56.50

UNC draws a favorable road in the regional round after beating Florida State in the ACC tournament semifinals. While Oklahoma was tested in the SEC, the Sooners played the No. 213-ranked out-of-conference schedule and finished with a 9-9 road record.

North Carolina went 25-6 at home this season.

T-10. Fayetteville Regional

No. 3 Arkansas: 5
Kansas: 24
Creighton: 45
North Dakota State: 152
Median RPI: 56.50

Arkansas’ path to the super regionals will start with North Dakota State, the No. 152-ranked team in RPI, but it will get tougher with matchups against potentially Creighton and Kansas from there. The Razorbacks posted a dominant 32-4 record at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas, this season.

Despite finishing the season 20-32, the Bison clinched an automatic berth in the tournament after winning the Summit League tournament.

T-12 Eugene Regional

No. 12 Oregon: 16
Arizona: 27
Cal Poly: 29
Utah Valley: 170
Median RPI: 60.50

The Eugene Regional is anything but a cakewalk, despite being this low on the list. Arizona and Cal Poly each had strong 2025 regular seasons and have more than enough talent to steal the regional and pull off an upset.

Utah Valley, which finished the season ranked No. 171 in RPI, is making its second-ever NCAA tournament appearance.

T-12. Athens Regional

No. 7 Georgia: 2
Duke: 31
Oklahoma State: 46
Binghamton: 163
Median RPI: 60.50

Despite having the same media RPI as the Eugene Regional, it’s clear the Bulldogs have a slightly easier path than Oregon. Duke is just outside the top 30 in RPI, while Oklahoma State finished the season 28-23 and 5-12 in Quad-1 games.

Binghamton is making its sixth NCAA tournament appearance and owns a 1-10 record, with its lone win coming in the Greenville Regional in 2009.

14. Tallahassee Regional

No. 9 Florida State: 14
Northeastern: 22
Mississippi State: 35
Bethune-Cookman: 200
Median RPI: 67.5

Link Jarrett and Florida State missed out on a hosting seed by one ranking. The Seminoles likely would have played host if they had defeated North Carolina in the ACC tournament semifinals. While RPI doesn’t suggest it, the Seminoles have to play a Northeastern team that has won 27 consecutive games and is arguably the hottest team in the nation.

15. Auburn Regional

No. 3 Auburn: 3
NC State: 33
Stetson: 62
Central Connecticut: 183
Median RPI: 70.25

The Tigers earning the No. 3 overall seed probably shocked a lot of college baseball fans, as their 38-18 record likely did not jump off the page. However, Auburn was the No. 3-ranked team when it comes to RPI. NC State, however, is a team capable of knocking off the Tigers and the Hatters always play a tough out-of-conference schedule.

Auburn opens the regional against Central Connecticut, which, despite a 31-15 record, went 0-2 in Quad-1 and 2 games.

16. Baton Rouge Regional

No. 6 LSU: 11
Dallas Baptist: 21
Rhode Island: 68
Little Rock: 238
Median RPI: 84.5

While LSU has the lowest median RPI of any regional, that does not mean its path to hosting a super regional is easy. Dallas Baptist is making its fifth consecutive regional appearance, including having pulled off an upset in the Columbia Regional in 2021.

Little Rock enters the tournament as the lowest-ranked team in RPI after finishing the season eight games below .500. The Trojans won five games in four days to win the Ohio Valley conference tournament and steal an automatic bid.
