Jason Kelce sees some Trent Williams in Kansas City Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons

Jason Kelce knows a thing or two about great left tackles. Before he played alongside Jordan Mailata, a second-team All-Pro this past season, Kelce shared a Philadelphia Eagles offensive line with a two-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler at the position: Jason Peters. When Kelce, a six-time first-team All-Pro center, talks line play, his words carry the weight he used to move around in the trenches.

LOS ANGELES, 1920s – In an era when alcohol was banned, crime was rampant, and cities were booming, the Los Angeles Police Department once deployed an unprecedented tactic: a motorcycle pulling a full-size metal jail cage. Not a patrol car or a police van — but a motorbike, towing a suspect quietly seated behind steel bars down the street. A rare black-and-white photograph — believed to have been taken in the early 1920s — has sparked both curiosity and amusement decades later. In the image, a uniformed officer is seen writing up a report while behind him stands a vertical...

The Mysterious Green Stone of Hattusa

Located in modern Turkey, Hattusa was the ancient capital of the Hittite Empire in the late Bronze Age, which ended abruptly and somewhat mysteriously in the 12th century BC.
