☆ Chiefs star Kelce throws out laughble first pitch at Guardians game
  + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Rory Carroll | Thomson Reuters | Los Angeles-Based Sports Reporter Who Interviews The Most Impactful Athletes | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
April 7 (Reuters) - Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce showed why he makes his money catching balls instead of throwing them after his ceremonial first pitch at a Cleveland Guardians baseball game badly missed the mark on Friday. A smiling Kelce immediately ran over to check on Guardian's pitcher Shane Bieber, who was crouched behind home plate but never had a shot at catching the errant throw. Kelce's brother Jason plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and the pitch is sure to be a topic when they record the next episode of their podcast "New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce." The Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 in February's Super Bowl in the first ever meeting of brothers on opposing teams in the NFL's championship game.

However, unlike many other major sporting events, the US Open permits guests to bring their own food and drinks into the tournament with some restrictions, helping attendees curb costs.

Feb 14 (Reuters) - The value of bets placed in Nevada sportsbooks on this year's Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles was 14.8% below the record set last year, according to unaudited figures provided by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

The twice Super Bowl winner also ran for 44 yards, including a 26-yard scramble that helped set up the game-winning field goal.

The boys were encouraged to try any sport they wanted to play — football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, wrestling. "'Once it's over, if you don't like that team, or if you don't like that sport, you don't have to play anymore,'" Kelce said.

Sunday’s Super Bowl marked a record-setting day for sports-wagering activity in the U.S., but the outcome of the dramatic game produced lackluster results for sports-betting companies in terms of profits, according to analysts and sportsbook executives.

But the high final score of 38-35 handed a win to bettors who favored the over on total points scored.

Auto ads, usually among the most popular during the Super Bowl, were mostly absent this year in another sign of reduced spending by automakers grappling with a tough economy and shrinking consumer wallets. Data from research firm Edo showed that Warner Bros Discovery's (WBD.O) 45-second "The Flash" trailer with two Batmans - Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck - was 24 times more effective than the median Super Bowl LVII ad. The Super Bowl is one of the most lucrative hours for advertisers hoping to grab the attention of over a 100 million people watching the game. On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a dramatic 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles to claim their second Super Bowl victory in four years. The average cost of a 30-second Super Bowl spot this year was about $7 million, an 84% surge from ten years ago, data from Statista showed.
