The arrest of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft in an expansive sex-sting operation in Jupiter, Florida, is, of course, humiliating for Kraft and the Patriots. Kraft, a 77-year-old widower, will have to deal with all of the ramifications, legal or otherwise. At this time, he completely denied the charge from local police that he twice visited a local massage parlor, the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, where women who had been subject to human trafficking from China were forced to engage in “sexual servitude,” according to the arrest record per the Palm Beach Post.

No. 1 is obviously winning the Super Bowl, but as far as the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's hopes off the field, increasing his presence in the world of Call of Duty seems to be pretty high up there. There, Mahomes received a tour of the facility where his favorite video games are made and a chance to play with the new maps of Operation Grand Heist, the downloadable content for Black Ops 4 released Tuesday.
