Kodai Senga spent part of his winter at home in Japan in rehab mode, with the goal of arriving at spring training ready for a normal buildup toward the season. On that count, the Mets right-hander is confident he succeeded.

Senga said he’s been “normal and healthy” since early January after missing almost all of last season with multiple ailments.

“I am not worried at all,” Senga said through his interpreter. “I just need to ramp up slowly and get through spring training healthy and pitching a lot of innings so we can go deep into the postseason.”

“This offseason has been really great in terms of evaluating what types of movements I need and don’t need,” he said. “I have been able to work on that and I feel really good up to this point. I just need to ramp up slowly.”

The Mets plan to employ a six-man rotation, largely to provide extra rest for Senga, who was accustomed to such a schedule in Japan. Senga, in his first season with the Mets, was better with the extra day of rest than on a normal schedule.

“I think what is really important is my health, and if I feel good I will be able to throw, whether it’s a six-man rotation or five-man rotation, regular rest or long rest,” Senga said. “It’s up to the manager to decide when I am going to throw. I just need to be ready to throw whenever they call on me.”

Aaron Boone has signed a two-year contract extension to remain as manager of the New York Yankees, the team announced.

The Yankees exercised their club option on Boone’s contract in November, with the team saying that a longer deal would be discussed once they were finished with offseason business. Now Boone has a new deal that will keep him with the club through the 2027 season.

During the MLB general manager meetings in November, Yankees GM Brian Cashman made it known that he wasn’t  looking to make a managerial change in the offseason following the team’s defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

The Yankees have a 603-429 regular season record and six postseason appearances in seven seasons under Boone.

The Jets made official what was already widely anticipated. QB Aaron Rodgers will not return for the 2025 season.

“Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback,” said head coach Aaron Glenn.  

“I personally want to thank Aaron for his time at the New York Jets,” owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. “His arrival in 2023 was met with unbridled excitement and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his Hall of Fame career. I wish him only the best in whatever he chooses to do next.”

After tearing his Achilles in the 2023 season opener against Buffalo, Rodgers returned to the field in 2024, playing all 17 games despite dealing with injuries to his hamstring, knee, and ankle. In his first full year as Gang Green’s starter, Rodgers completed 368 of 584 passes for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. On paper, Rodgers’ numbers were solid, but the Jets went 5-12 as the season quickly unraveled after a 2-3 start.

It’s a big year for AEW President Tony Khan as he looks to keep some of his biggest stars under contract, especially after the departure of Cody Rhodes last year, who has proven that a talent from AEW can jump ship to WWE and have a fair shot of success. 

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks are now in this spot where they will have to decide whether to stay with AEW, a company they helped launch, or jump to the rival promotion. 

All three deals are slated to expire later this year. AEW wants to sign them to new deals before becoming free agents.

The Elite recently lost the AEW Trios Championships to the House Of Black. They’re slated to take on the Jericho Appreciation Society and House of Black on Dynamite with the titles on the line. 

Philadelphia Eagles Demolish the Kansas City Chiefs To Win Their Second Super Bowl

Two years later, the Chiefs and Eagles are getting together in the Super Bowl again.

Last time, the Eagles entered the game as 1.5-point favorites for the game played in Arizona. This time, the DraftKings opening line has the Chiefs as 1.5-point favorites in Super Bowl LIX, to be played in New Orleans.

In Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles seemed to have the better overall team. As we saw at the time, that doesn’t matter when the Chiefs have quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

We’ll find out whether the Chiefs can do it again, giving them the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat — with the bookends coming against Philadelphia.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in historic territory.

The Chiefs, thanks to a wild 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game on Sunday night, clinched their spot in Super Bowl LIX. They’ll take on the Philadelphia Eagles — who rolled over the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game in New Orleans.

If the Chiefs can lift the Lombardi Trophy, it’ll mark their third straight Super Bowl win. No team in NFL history has ever won three straight. Very few have even had the opportunity to do so. Kansas City is the first team to actually reach the Super Bowl after winning the game two straight times.

Before the Chiefs, only eight other teams in NFL history won back-to-back Super Bowls. The New England Patriots were the most recent team to do so in the 2005 season. Of those eight teams, only three of them made it to their conference championship game the following season to have a chance at making it to a third. They all lost.

The three-peat is so rare in American professional sports in general. The last major men’s professional team to win three straight championships was the Los Angeles Lakers. They won three consecutive NBA titles from 2000-02.

NEW YORK— A quick survey of the exotic dancers who perform at Rick’s Cabaret New York, the famous adult club known for its warm hospitality and providing the best in VIP services, reveals that a slight majority of the lovely ladies predict that the Philadelphia Eagles will beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

“It’s like a poll of the girls who work the pole,” said Rick’s girl Kendra. “It was close, but the Eagles edged out the Chiefs.” 

Rick’s girl Monica reminds football fans that Rick’s Cabaret is the home of New York’s best post-game after-parties. “Come watch the game or join us for the big party following the game. “It’s going to be awesome, there are so many hotties here, make it rain on us!”
