1. Rams Tried to Restrict Ticket Sales
The LA Rams tried to restrict resales of tickets to the NFC Championship between the Rams and the San Francisco 49ers to LA residents only. This is after the debacle the last time these two teams played that saw a louder contingency of Niners fans.
Ticket resale platform Ticketmaster attempted to use billing address to restrict purchases of NFC Championship tickets to LA residents only. However, it appears as if that restriction was deleted quickly without explanation.
The reason could be that Ticketmaster cannot restrict resales of tickets from those who bought the tickets, only the Rams can do that. So, that means that Ticketmaster can't retroactively enact restrictions. If you bought the ticket from the Rams, that's your ticket and you can do what you want. God bless America.
Kelly (Karen) Stafford went on some podcast to discuss (complain) about how there were so many Niners fans and they were so loud, that Rams QB husband, Matthew Stafford had to use the silent count, a strategy typically reserved for the visiting QB due to crowd noise.

2. Stockton Suspended by Gonzaga
Utah Jazz Hall of Famer John Stockton lost his season tickets to Gonzaga Men's Basketball after refusing to comply with the university's mask mandate.
Stockton also claimed that something like 150 pro athletes had dropped dead from the vaccine or from COVID or some such nonsense. He was subsequently roasted by fellow hall-of-famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

3. Everyone is Turning on Mahomes Because Wife and Bro are Annoying
The vibe surrounding KC Chiefs quarterback and NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes has completely changed in the past months, largely due to the pure douche-baggary of his younger brother Jackson and the annoying champagne incident involving his wife.
During the AFC divisional round game between the Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, it clearly felt as if the entire world were not only rooting for the Buffalo Bills but were rooting against Mahomes and the Cheifs.
Despite the likability of the Bills' fanbase, known as Bills Mafia, and of their fellow superstar quarterback, Josh Allen, the Chiefs have become the evil empire akin to the NBA's Golden State Warriors wherein Steph Curry is Patrick Mahomes.
We like you when you're the upstart underdog, and root against you when you're on top. Unlike Curry, I'm confident in saying not many people would want to hang out with the Mahomes', but I'll chill with Steph and Seth any time.
