Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce acaba de confirmar que se ha puesto en contacto con Taylor Swift en medio de rumores de que los dos han estado saliendo recientemente, revelando que invitó a la superestrella del pop al próximo partido de los Chiefs.

Pat McAfee consiguió que el tight end se abriera sobre los rumores de que ha estado viendo a Swift las últimas semanas en el episodio del jueves del "The Pat McAfee Show", y aunque Kelce no abordó exactamente ningún detalle sí admitió que ha estado hablando con la cantante de "Cruel Summer".

"Es hilarante la cantidad de tracción que esto realmente ha conseguido", dijo el jugador de 33 años de edad. "Creo que en este momento es como ese viejo juego de la escuela llamado 'Teléfono' donde todo el mundo está susurrando en el oído del otro y se pasan el mensaje".

Kelce dijo que su hermano, Jason, ha sido una de las principales razones por las que los chismes han explotado recientemente y regañó juguetonamente a la estrella de los Eagles por ello.

"El tipo es absolutamente ridículo" dijo Kelce sobre su hermano mayor, quien ha comentado varias veces sobre la posible relación desde el jueves pasado. "No puede mantenerse fuera de los malditos titulares".

"Por favor", añadió Travis, "que todo el mundo deje de preguntarle a mi hermano sobre mi vida amorosa".

Kelce dijo anteriormente que quiso hacer un intento de acercarse a Taylor y no se le ocurrió una mejor idea que hacerle una pulsera de la amistad con su número de telefónico en él para dársela cuando ella actuó en el estadio Arrowhead en julio, pero no tuvo suerte de conectar con ella.

Ciertamente suena como que finalmente trabajó ... 'causa Kelce dijo que, de hecho, ha estado en comunicación con Swift.

"Lancé la pelota en su campo y, ya sabes, le dije: 'Te he visto rockear en el escenario de Arrowhead'", le dijo a McAfee. "'Tendrías que venir a verme a mí rockear el escenario en Arrowhead y ver cuál está un poco más iluminado'".

Jason Kelce is revisiting the rumors surrounding his brother's potential love story ... saying he fully believes Travis and Taylor Swift are, in fact, dating.

But, you need to calm down, Swifties -- it was clearly a joke.

The Eagles star was asked once again about recent reports of Travis and Taylor "quietly hanging out" during his appearance on Audacy's SportsRadio 94 WIP Wednesday morning ... and while he claimed he doesn't keep up with the Chiefs tight end's relationship status, he then threw fuel into the speculation fire.

"It's hard to answer because I don't really know a lot about Travis' love life," Jason said. "I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world. But, having said that, I think he's doing great and I think it's all 100% percent true."

Jason quickly followed up by couching the whole thing ... admitting he had no idea what was going on between the two, if anything at all.

Jason's comments ARE pretty interesting, though -- one would think if Travis and Taylor were really dating, he'd probably tell his bro he should've said no to talking about it, right??

Another theory -- Traylor (that's what we'd call them if they were indeed a couple) are just casual and don't really care who knows ... so Jason addressing it wouldn't really matter.

Interesting note -- Jason said he was "blindsided" by Tony Gonzalez's question on Thursday Night Football last week ... which was the first time anyone near Travis ever addressed the rumors.

Jason Kelce está revisando los rumores que rodean la historia de amor potencial de su hermano, diciendo que cree plenamente que Travis y Taylor Swift están saliendo.

Pero tranquilos Swifties... claramente era una broma.

Le preguntamos a la estrella de los Eagles una vez más acerca de los recientes informes de que Travis y Taylor estaban saliendo durante su aparición en SportsRadio 94 WIP de Audacy el miércoles por la mañana ... y mientras afirmaba que no se mantiene al día con el estado de la relación del ala cerrada de los Chiefs, luego echó leña al fuego de la especulación.

"Es difícil responder porque realmente no sé mucho sobre la vida amorosa de Travis", dijo Jason. "Intento mantener sus asuntos más o menos en su terreno, mantenerme al margen de ese mundo. Pero, dicho esto, creo que lo está haciendo muy bien y creo que todo es 100% verdad".

Jason rápidamente le dio vuelta al asunto admitiendo que no tenía ni idea de lo que estaba pasando entre los dos. Nada en absoluto.

Los comentarios de Jason son bastante interesantes, sin embargo uno pensaría que si Travis y Taylor estaban realmente saliendo probablemente le diría a su hermano que no debería hablar de ello ¿verdad?

Aquí va otra teoría: Traylor (así es como los llamaríamos si realmente fueran pareja) son sólo casuales y realmente no les importa quién lo sepa, por lo que Jason hablando de ello realmente no sería importante.

Nota interesante: Jason dijo que estaba "sorprendido" por la pregunta de Tony González en Thursday Night Football la semana pasada ya que fue la primera vez que alguien cercano a Travis se refirió a los rumores.

Travis Kelce is said to be "hanging out" with Taylor Swift -- something the NFL world just can't get enough of ... and which bled into Sunday's broadcast of his big game.

NFL announcer Ian Eagle -- who called the Chiefs game Sunday -- snuck in a Swift reference after TK scored his first touchdown of the season against the Jags. It was a simple toss from Mahomes into the end zone ... but a big deal since Trav missed last week's opener.

As Travis and his teammates were celebrating ... Eagle said, "Kelce finds a blank space for the score!" His broadcasting partner didn't say anything, but everyone picked up on it.

Even right after this, Eagle kept it going ... saying Kelce was able to shake it off considering he didn't play last week following an injury. So, yeah, everyone's still giddy about the news.

ICYMI ... word of Travis and Taylor possibly dating first started to percolate earlier this week after The Messenger reported they've been seeing each other lately. Other outlets confirmed they're spending time together ... but stopped short of saying they're full-blown dating.

Based on what Travis's bro had to say about it on TNF ... sounds like they're just banging.

Remember, back in July ... Travis revealed he tried shooting his shot with Taylor during one of her concerts -- but apparently got denied at the time. Since sharing this story, however, it sounds like TS got in touch and then some -- which just goes to show, manifesting is real!

If Taylor and Trav are, in fact, keeping it casual ... that lines up with how she handled the Matty Healy fling earlier this year. TayTay's obviously doing her thing post-Joe Alwyn.

Patrick Mahomes learned the importance of punctuation while sharing his grief over Aaron Rodgers' injury on Monday ... clarifying he does not actually "hate that man" -- he just forgot to add a comma.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was quick to react to Rodgers' apparent ankle ailment while watching the New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills matchup ... going to his X account to address the incident.

"Hate that man… Praying for the best 🙏🏽"

Of course, upon first read, it comes across as Mahomes revealing his abhorrence for the four-time MVP ... but Patrick eventually realized his mistake and made use of the "edit" feature on the social media platform.

"Hate that, man… Praying for the best 🙏🏽"

Ah, much better.

Mahomes took the gaffe in stride ... joking, "Knew i was going to need that edit button on here one of these days 🤣"

Unfortunately for Jets fans, they're not laughing Tuesday morning ... as many fear, Rodgers could be out a significant amount of time to nurse his injury.

While the extent of it has not been announced, Jets staffers are reportedly losing sleep over the idea of being without Rodgers ... which would essentially end their chances of contending for a Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes aprendió la importancia de la puntuación al compartir su pena por la lesión de Aaron Rodgers el lunes, aclarando que en realidad no "odia a ese hombre", sino que solo se le olvidó añadir una coma.

La superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs no tardó en reaccionar a la aparente dolencia de tobillo de Rodgers mientras veía el partido entre los New York Jets y los Buffalo Bills, yendo a su cuenta X para abordar el incidente.

"Odio a ese hombre... Rezando por lo mejor 🙏🏽" (Hate that man... Praying for the best).

Por supuesto, a la primera lectura, se entiende como si Mahomes estuviera revelando su aborrecimiento por el cuatro veces MVP, pero Patrick eventualmente se dio cuenta de su error e hizo uso de la función "editar" en la plataforma de medios sociales.

"Odio eso, hombre... Rezando por lo mejor 🙏🏽" (Hate that, man... Praying for the best).

Muchísimo mejor.

Mahomes se tomó su metedura de pata con calma, bromeando: "Sabía que iba a necesitar ese botón de edición uno de estos días 🤣".

Lamentablemente, los aficionados de los Jets no se están riendo este martes por la mañana. Como muchos temen, Rodgers podría estar fuera una buena cantidad de tiempo para cuidar de su lesión.

Si bien no se ha anunciado el alcance de esta, se informa que el personal de los Jets está tomándose la cabeza ante la idea de estar sin Rodgers, lo que esencialmente terminaría con sus posibilidades de pelear por un Super Bowl.

Kadarius Toney couldn't help but throw shots at the New York Giants after their bad loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday ... hopping back on social media just to diss his former team.

Toney -- who deactivated his X account after stinking up the place during the Chiefs' Week 1 loss against the Detroit Lions -- broke his self-imposed ban shortly after the Giants' 40-0 defeat on Sunday Night Football ... and he wanted everyone to know he was aware of the result.

"Na don't get quiet now..." the 24-year-old captioned his Instagram story, showing a pic of the scoreboard.

Toney -- who faced tons of backlash after dropping several passes on Thursday Night Football -- isn't back for good, though ... explaining he had to address the game real quick before going ghost again.

"Now I'm back off this sh** ... AGAIN," Toney said. "leave me df alone but stay tuned."

Giants fans didn't take the jab well ... calling out the irony of the whole situation.

"He is literally the reason the returning, defending champions are 0-1," one fan said via X ...  with another person calling him a "certified clown."

Another supporter said, "imagine just focusing on your game and being the best possible WR he can possibly be instead of jumping on Social media."

Toney -- who had knee surgery in July -- will hope to redeem himself on Sunday against the Jaguars.

Kadarius Toney is going ghost after his abysmal Thursday Night Football outing ... 'cause the Kansas City Chiefs receiver just deactivated his X account.

There's no sugar-coating it -- Toney had a bad game in the Chiefs' loss to the Detroit Lions in the opening game of the 2023 season ... missing three targets and deflecting a pass that was intercepted for a pick-six, which ended up being the game-changing play of the matchup.

Toney finished the game with one catch for one yard and one rush for a loss.

Fans were quick to share critical posts throughout the game ... mentioning Toney's account as they expressed their frustrations with his performance.

They can complain all they want, but Toney's tuning out the haters ... 'cause a visit to his "0fficialC2N" profile now reads "This account doesn't exist."

While Chiefs Kingdom and trolls are spewing hate, the guy's still getting support from his team ... as Patrick Mahomes said despite the drops, he has faith in Toney.

"Obviously he would've wanted to catch a few of those in the game, but I've trusted he's going to be that guy that I go to in those crucial moments, and he's going to make the catch and win us some games like he did last year," Mahomes told reporters after the 20-21 loss.

Jared Goff was gettin' all types of Ws on Thursday night ... 'cause after upsetting the Chiefs in the NFL's kickoff game, he got a celebratory kiss from his swimsuit model fiancée!

The PDA happened after the quarterback and his Detroit Lions shocked the defending Super Bowl champions, 21-20, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Goff's partner, Christen Harper -- who just got engaged to the signal-caller back in June -- shared footage of the postgame smooch on her Instagram page ... showing her getting some lip-on-lip action with the QB after the game from the stands.

"Biiiiig fan of 16," Harper captioned the clip.

Of course, Goff deserved every bit of the love from Harper ... he threw for 253 yards and a touchdown in the victory, taking care of the ball throughout all four quarters of the close game.

Seems the quarterback should be getting used to the PDA from Harper going forward ... because the Lions appear to be the real deal, playing well in all three phases of the game.

The NFL is officially back ... and Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt threw on a sexy team outfit to celebrate the momentous occasion!!!

The daughter of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt put on some K.C. bikini bottoms and a crop-top jersey to show her support for her team as Patrick Mahomes and the guys get set to take on the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night.

Along with two photos of the 'fit, the 24-year-old model wrote in a caption ... "Today’s the day!🙌🏼"

"It’s felt like a drought without football.🌵," she added. "Who’s ready for the regular season?!🙋🏼‍♀️🏈"

Of course, showing some skin along with support for her squad is nothing new for Gracie ... just a few months ago, she posted a couple of steamy photos of herself rockin' a K.C. bikini in the snow to gear up for the Chiefs' playoff game against the Jaguars.

Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, is giving her Twitter fingers a rest -- the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's longtime partner says she's taking a step back on social media to avoid "horrible people."

Brittany revealed her new plans in a Q&A with her 1.4 million Instagram followers this week ... when one of her fans mentioned how they wish she shared more of her daily life.

"Unfortunately, the less I share the less I have to deal with horrible people," Brittany replied.

Of course, Brittany -- who married the 2-time Super Bowl champ in 2022 -- used to go all out on social media ... posting videos of herself going crazy in the Arrowhead suites while also calling out trolls and NFL players like Eli Apple.

But, lately, Brittany has noticeably been moving in relative silence ... and now we know it's by design.

In fact, Britt said she won't even give a tour of the Mahomes' new home ... pointing out the best part about the crib is "the privacy and safety."

Brittany hasn't gone completely M.I.A., though ... as she still posts workouts and family content from time to time.

Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, went for a not-so-wild on a mechanical bull earlier this summer -- and based on the video we got of them on this thing ... you can tell the owners of the joint wanted to protect their QB.

The Chiefs star and his crew were at PBR Big Sky in Kansas City way back in early June -- for a charity event that a lot of celebs were involved in at the time -- and while hanging out ... it seems Pat and Brit got a little courage in them, wanting to mount the fake bull.

Check out these clips, obtained by TMZ, that shows the couple riding it together ... Brittany up front, and Patty in the back. As you can tell, it wasn't going too hard whatsoever -- these mechanical bulls can mess people up -- but that was far from the case here. Nice and easy!

Still, PM fell off first ... and it wasn't long after that Brittany went flying too. Again, it's pretty clear the operators of the bull weren't trying to bust them up ... they are KC royalty, after all.

At another point in the night ... Patrick got on there by himself, and there too he was smooth sailing. Probably a good call to go light on the big fella -- not only does he have pressure to win another Super Bowl (after snatching one last year) but he's gonna be the face of the franchise for years to come. No sense in causing a collar bone break in August. 😅

Sorry, Jets fans ... Randy Moss says despite New York's huge offseason, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are still the team to beat in the AFC.

But, the NFL legend tells TMZ Sports he's stoked for the year NY is about to have regardless ... saying he can feel a completely different energy emanating from the Big Apple after the arrival of Aaron Rodgers.

"I felt the buzz when the Jets were down," said Moss, who works in New York for his role as an ESPN analyst, "and now I'm feeling the buzz when they're ready to look forward to some big things from this organization."

Moss says he's totally impressed with the way Rodgers has integrated himself into his new team and community ... noting he's seen a far different body language from the QB from what he's witnessed in the past.

Now, he thinks it'll all spell out "an MVP-type-caliber season" for the 39-year-old signal-caller

"I just think the sky's the limit for the New York Jets," he said.

The 46-year-old Hall of Famer, though, would apparently still put his money on Mahomes to take the AFC title this year ... telling us the favorite in the conference "is still Kansas City."

Travis Kelce básicamente vive en la zona de anotación, pero no pudo anotar con Taylor Swift, porque el campeón del Super Bowl dice que no pudo dar a la superestrella del pop su número de teléfono en su reciente concierto.

El ala cerrada de los Kansas City Chiefs detalló su plan maestro para conquistarla durante la parada de la gira Eras de Taylor en el estadio Arrowhead en su podcast "New Heights" esta semana, diciendo que hizo pulseras de la amistad con su número de teléfono en ellas con la esperanza de dar una a la cantante recientemente soltera.

Kelce explicó que estaba desanimado al enterarse de Swift no se reúne con nadie antes de subir al escenario en un esfuerzo por preservar su voz, así que mala suerte para Travis.

"Me decepcionó que no hablara antes o después de sus conciertos porque tiene que guardar su voz para las 44 canciones que canta, así que me dio un poco de rabia no poder darle una de las pulseras que hice para ella", le dijo Kelce a su hermano Jason.

"Ella no se ve con nadie, o al menos no quería verme a mí así que me lo tomé como algo personal".

Jason bromeó con que el rechazo tuvo que ser porque Swift es una gran fan de los Eagles y probablemente no se haya recuperado de la derrota en la Super Bowl ante los Chiefs, pero Travis —que rompió con Kayla Nicole en 2022— se lo toma todo con calma, diciendo que no obstante, fue un gran momento.

Travis Kelce basically lives in the end zone, but he couldn't score with Taylor Swift ... 'cause the Super Bowl champ says he failed to give the pop superstar his phone number at her recent concert.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end detailed his master plan to shoot his shot during Taylor's Eras tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium on his "New Heights" podcast this week ... saying he made friendship bracelets with his phone number on them in hopes of giving one to the recently single singer.

Kelce explained he was bummed to find out Swift doesn't meet with anyone prior to taking the stage in an effort to preserve her voice ... so baby, now they've got bad blood.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," Kelce told his brother, Jason.

"She doesn't meet anybody -- or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personal."

Jason joked the rejection had to be because Swift is a big Eagles fan and probably not over the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs ... but Travis -- who called things off with Kayla Nicole in 2022 -- is taking it all in stride, saying it was a great time nonetheless.

Patrick Mahomes may not be scared of 300-pound defensive linemen ... but he showed on Thursday that when it comes to bees, he's absolutely terrified!!!

The Chiefs quarterback was getting in a little break with his teammates and coaches while out at Kansas City's workout ... when, suddenly, a bee invaded their meeting -- and the quarterback lost it.

Normally cool, calm and collected ... Mahomes panicked -- and then ran around in a circle, doing anything he could to get away from the winged creature.

Check out the video ... Mahomes wasn't the only one scared -- backup QB Shane Buechele and the Chiefs' staffers weren't pleased either.

The 2-time NFL MVP managed to get away, though ... and afterward, he was able to have a laugh about it all.

"I don't mess with bees 🤣🤣," he tweeted.

Of course, this is far from the first time a star athlete has had to deal with a bee recently ... Jimmy Butler just went through a similar ordeal during his press conference after winning Game 7 against Boston in May.
