QB may be prom date for teen with disabilityKansas City, Mo. (ap)

— Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Ma-homes isn’t ruling out a prom date with a 17-year-old girl with a severe physical disability after she posted a widely circu-lated “promposal” video

to Facebook.Mahomes said Wednes-

day during a news con-ference that he’ll see if he can make the date with CeeCee Campbell hap-pen when prom comes around in April. The Raymore-Peculiar High

School student was born with arthrogryposis, which affects her joints and leaves her with lim-ited mobility.

She says in the video that a date with Ma-homes would make her “feel like all the

normal girls who gets their dream proms” and promised to “keep my hands to myself.”

Mahomes says his moth-er sent him the video. He says it’s “awesome to see her and all the things that she’s done.”

Mahomes

Chiefs using motion to create nightmares

Kansas City, Mo. — The Kan-sas City Chiefs break huddle and line up in a traditional formation: Patrick Mahomes settles under center, Kareem Hunt is in the backfield, tight end Travis Kelce joins wide receiver Sammy Watkins on the right side, and Tyreek Hill and Demarcus Rob-inson head to the left.

Then, from a defensive per-spective, all hell breaks loose.

Mahomes is suddenly drop-ping into the shotgun, careful he doesn’t run into Hunt, who has moved from the left side to the right. Hill has run all the way across the field and lined up on the right, just as Kelce has raced in the other direction to line up on the left.

The defense thought it had everyone covered. Now, mis-matches abound as linebackers try to cover Kelce and safeties are forced to match up with the Chiefs’ speedy wide receivers.

That play against Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago wasn’t just a gimmick. That’s standard stuff in the Chiefs’ basic offense, a seemingly seamless melding of Andy Reid’s old-school West Coast system and the new-school spread offenses that have changed the college game.

“That play-calling was something I’ve never seen be-fore,” said Jacksonville safety Tashaun Gipson, whose top-ranked defense was torched in a 30-14 loss at Arrowhead Sta-dium last Sunday.

“I’ve played Andy Reid, and maybe it was the Browns or it was Jacksonville 2016, and he didn’t pull out all the stops,” Gip-son said. “But this game plan, man, and I can’t say it enough — and again, I’m not trying to dis-credit any guys over there — but I’ve never seen a team do that to us consistently.”

In fact, Gipson said, “they had their way with us all game.”

They’ve had their way with just about everybody the first five weeks, piling up a fran-chise-record 175 points. Ma-homes has already thrown for 1,513 yards, shattering the Chiefs mark for five games, and a 300-yard passing game at New England on Sunday would give him a team-record five straight.

Kansas City (5-0) has scored at least 30 points in each of its games.

“If you try to play zone cov-erage against them, they’ve got the guys to beat zone. They have the guys to beat man. So you have to pick your poison,” Gipson said. “We came here with all this hype, talking about how good we are as a defense, myself included, and we got drug out there. Straight drug.”

What the Chiefs are doing this season is hardly a flash-in-the-pan attack, though. It’s the culmination of years of tinker-ing, beginning with Brad Chil-dress’ work as “spread game analyst” and incorporating bits of the college-style spread at-tack to what the Chiefs were doing last season.

But while Alex Smith could pull off run-pass options, or do things in the quarterback-run game, it wasn’t a perfect fit. That came when Mahomes took over as the starter this season.

Mahomes is a product of the Air Raid system, basically a spread offense on steroids. He is accustomed to a flood of tar-gets all over the field, quickly identifying where the matchup problems give the offense an advantage, and delivering the ball so that his playmakers can make things happen.

Plus, Mahomes has the arm strength to make any throw on the field.

“He’s not afraid to let it loose,” Broncos offensive co-ordinator Bill Musgrave said. “When you have the arm strength that he has, he can fit the ball into those small win-dows.”

Most of the time, though, the Chiefs are able to give him ga-rage doors.

That’s because they have the personnel to make all those cre-ative formations work. Kelce is athletic enough to line up any-where on the field, Hunt has excellent hands for a running back, and Hill and Watkins have the speed to beat anyone in a one-on-one matchup.

So, for example, the Chiefs can line up without anyone in the backfield, forcing defenses to change their personnel and alignment. Then the motion games begin, and Kelce or Hill or someone else could end up in the backfield, creating

confusion and mismatches.“There’s not much we can

do once we make our call and (Mahomes) comes out in his formation,” Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. “Once he goes empty, he knows what he’s got. That makes it tough.”

Or downright impossible, it sometimes seems.

“Watching Andy for a long time, he always has some neat, cool things,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I don’t know where they come from. He’s in there looking up a lot of stuff because they do some unusual things. Sometimes I’m predict-ing it came from a high school team, maybe a college team. They know how to spread the field. They know how to run all those jet sweeps and do all the RPOs.”

Shanahan said the foundation remains the West Coast offense, and the Chiefs are still capable of beating teams with basic stuff. Just look at how they’ve put away games late in the fourth quarter, when they’ve leaned on Hunt and some old-fashioned, smash-mouth football.

But none of that catches peo-ple’s attention like the flashy stuff.

“Over these last four years or so, they’ve really added an el-ement of the misdirection and stuff. It’s been an issue, not just because of the plays, but the people with the plays,” Shana-han said. “They have the speed at every angle to run those things and really put defenses in a bind.”

Cristiano Ronaldo accuser’s lawyers demand proof documents are false

Las Vegas — Attorneys for a Nevada woman accus-ing Cristiano Ronaldo of rape challenged the international soccer star’s legal team on Thursday to prove that docu-ments cited in European me-dia reports about their 2009 encounter in Las Vegas are false.

Anything that proves that documents were altered, fab-ricated or inaccurate also “should be immediately turned over to the appropri-ate law enforcement agen-cies,” attorneys Leslie Stovall and Larissa Drohobyczer said in a statement emailed to me-dia in the U.S. and abroad.

“Disputes regarding the accuracy of documents are generally questions of fact to be decided by the jury,” they said.

Ronaldo’s attorney, Peter S. Christiansen, declined to re-spond.

On Wednesday, Christian-sen issued a statement deny-ing wrongdoing by Ronaldo, branding documents that led to media reports about the rape claim “complete fabrica-tions” and asserting that the encounter in a Las Vegas ho-tel penthouse bedroom was consensual.

The documents became public because they were sto-len by a hacker in Europe and put up for sale, Christiansen said.

Stovall and Drohobyczer said Christian-sen acknowl-edged that d o c u m e n t s upon which the allega-tions are based “were obtained from Cristiano

Ronaldo or individuals acting on his behalf.”

Drohobyczer declined, via text message, to provide ad-ditional comment.

The statement was issued in Las Vegas several hours af-ter the German weekly maga-zine that first published the rape allegation against Ronal-do said in Berlin that it stands by its story.

“We have no reason to be-lieve that those documents are not authentic,” Der Spie-gel spokesman Michael Grabowski said. “We have meticulously fact-checked our information and had it le-gally reviewed.”

Stovall and Drohobyczer represent Kathryn Mayorga, 34, a former model who filed a civil lawsuit two weeks ago in Nevada state court seek-ing money from Ronaldo and a court order to void a non-disclosure agreement the court filing acknowledges she signed when she accepted $375,000 in 2010 to keep quiet.

Las Vegas police also re-opened a criminal sexual as-sault investigation at Stovall’s request.

The Associated Press typ-ically does not name people who say they are victims of sex crimes, but May-orga gave consent through Drohobyczer to make her name public.

In a separate email, May-orga’s attorneys on Thursday listed 18 U.S. and European agencies ranging from Inter-pol to Scotland Yard, the FBI and U.S. state attorneys gen-eral that they said they asked to investigate whether Ron-aldo and anyone associated with him violated laws based on information contained in the documents.

It was not immediately clear if investigators in Portu-gal, Spain, England, Italy, Ire-land and the states of Nevada and California were acting on that request.

Ronaldo, 33, is from Por-tugal and plays for the Ital-ian club Juventus and his national team. He began his career at Sporting Lisbon be-fore moving to Manchester United and then Real Ma-drid in the summer of 2009 for a then-record sum of 94 million euros, or about $130 million.

Some of his corporate spon-sors, including Nike and video game maker EA Sports, have expressed concern about the rape allegation.

Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa has spoken in Ronaldo’s defense, while cit-ing his successful internation-al career.

BRIEFLYNevada regulator suspends Khabib, McGregor for UFC brawl

Las Vegas (ap) — UFC fighters Khabib Nurma-gomedov and Conor McGregor are being suspend-ed by the Nevada Athletic Commission for a brawl that erupted inside and outside the octagon after their lightweight title fight last weekend in Las Vegas, an official said.

Letters were sent Wednesday informing both MMA fighters that they will be suspended for at least 10 days effective Oct. 15, commission execu-tive Bob Bennett said Thursday.

A commission investigation is pending and the panel can extend the temporary suspension when it meets Oct. 24, Bennett said. Nurmagomedov and McGregor could also appeal Bennett’s executive action at that time.

Ronaldo
