Blaine Gabbert entered the NFL six years before Patrick Mahomes, but his resume is not nearly as decorated as the quarterback he is backing up in Kansas City. Gabbert has started 13 fewer games, won two fewer Super Bowls as a starting quarterback and thrown 141 fewer touchdowns. But Mahomes expects to learn a lot from Gabbert, who signed with the Chiefs to be Mahomes’ backup after Chad Henne retired. “Yeah, I mean first off, I knew of Blaine from Chad [with] them playing in Jacksonville together and Chad spoke very highly of him,” Mahomes said, via Charles Goldman of USA Today. “And then since he’s been in the building, he’s been a true pro and he’s came in – you see the talent [and] you see why he was a top-10 draft pick or a first-round draft pick and the arm strength there and things like that.” Gabbert spent the past three seasons backing up Tom Brady in Tampa. Mahomes has peppered Gabbert with questions about the GOAT. “He was just backing up Tom, so I’m asking for any advice he can give me because if you’re learning from that guy, you’re learning from the right guy,” Mahomes said.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
