Kansas City Chiefs

Former professional football running back Priest Holmes was 27 years old when he rose to stardom after signing as a free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs -- and becoming the NFL's leading rusher with 1,555 yards -- back in 2001.

Holmes kicked off his career with the Baltimore Ravens in '97 and earned a Super Bowl XXXV ring with the Ravens' victory over the New York Giants in 2000. However, his 7 year run with the Chiefs is what propelled him to superstardom.

While reppin' no. 31, Holmes was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2002.

President Donald Trump and Taylor Swift are already attending Super Bowl LIX ... and now the big game may be getting even more star power -- 'cause Kanye West says there's a chance he'll also be in the building!

Photogs caught Ye in L.A. Tuesday night where they asked West if he had any plans for Super Sunday. While he wasn't fully committed, he said he and his wife Bianca Censori might "pull up" to NOLA and catch the action.

It wouldn't be the first time Ye has attended the SB. In fact, he was in Las Vegas for the game last year (the Chiefs beat the 49ers), rockin' a face covering that featured a white crucifix, while Censori was decked out in an all-black fit.

Reporters are trying their damnedest to get Travis Kelce to slip up and reveal whether he plans to put a ring on Taylor Swift's finger ... but the Chiefs superstar is giving a masterclass in evading the topic -- sidestepping several questions with ease during Super Bowl week.

The 35-year-old tight end was asked if he's recently gone diamond shopping during his availability on Wednesday ... an eye roll-inducing attempt at finding out whether he's been thinking about proposing to his pop icon girlfriend.

Kelce sniffed it out right away ... and played dumb when sharing his take on whether diamonds are a "good investment."

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are stoked to play in front of a sitting president during the Super Bowl ... with both Kansas City Chiefs superstars telling reporters Sunday's big game will be extra special with Donald Trump in the building.

The quarterback was asked about No. 47's expected presence in NOLA for his matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles ... and the honor isn't lost on him.

"It's always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president," Mahomes said. "Someone that is at the top position in our country."

Tons of Dallas Maverick fans are still shocked over losing former superstar player Luka Doncic ... and that includes Texas native Patrick Mahomes, who said the blockbuster deal with the Lakers rocked him.

The Chiefs signal caller met with the media Monday for Super Bowl opening night, where he was asked about his hometown team trading away the 25-year-old phenom to L.A. in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and the Lakers' 2029 first-round pick.

"I've watched him since he was 18 years old," he said. "I remember going to practice, and it was Dirk [Nowitzki], and seeing his maturation and how great of a basketball player he's became it's been fun to watch."

Travis Kelce REALLY loves his pastries ... 'cause the Kansas City Chiefs superstar says out of every dish Taylor Swift has made for him, her homemade Pop-Tarts take the cake.

35-year-old Kelce was asked all about his girlfriend during his Super Bowl press conference on Monday ... and at one point, he revealed what Tay creation gets him drooling the most.

"She is quite the cook," Kelce told the media in New Orleans. "I would say, man, I'm a breakfast guy, man. Her pop-tarts are unbelievable, man. Homemade pop-tarts. They're unbelievable."

Super Bowl ticket prices are tumbling ... but slow your roll, normies -- they're not quite affordable for the average Joe just yet.

According to Gametime -- a ticket resale app -- get-in prices for this weekend's Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles matchup are trending downward.

The lowest ticket cost is $4,339 -- and while that's a small fortune to most ... it is down from $5,860 last Friday and from $6,375 on Jan. 27.

A Kansas City three-peat would thrill an entire region, but according to former New York Giants star Brandon Jacobs, it would NOT give the Chiefs claim to the title of GOAT dynasty.

In a sit-down interview with TMZ Sports this week, the former tailback said Tom Brady's New England Patriots squads will still have a leg up on K.C. in his mind ... even though they never won three Super Bowls in a row.

Jacobs says it simply comes down to Brady's Pats rosters doing more with less ... explaining, "I think Patrick Mahomes' team is better than Tom Brady's team."

Looks like Taylor Swift will be rolling stag to this weekend's Grammys ... TMZ Sports has learned her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, isn't making it out to Hollywood for the big event.

The Kansas City Chiefs star instead, sources familiar with the situation tell us, will be sticking with his team ... as it continues its preparations for its Super Bowl matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

Kelce's planned absence, of course, should surprise nobody ... as he also skipped out on being Taylor's plus-one for last year's Grammys -- in order to prep for the Chiefs' SB game against the 49ers.

The NFL just released some more video of the aftermath of the Chiefs' big win Sunday ... and, you can see Taylor Swift was absolutely floored her boyfriend was heading back to the Super Bowl.

The footage -- put out by NFL Films on Wednesday -- shows the pop superstar, Travis Kelce and Donna Kelce all on the field in the minutes after Kansas City beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

The trio are talking about a key block Travis made for Patrick Mahomes ... when, suddenly, Taylor turns, and urges her man to bask in the moment.

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are running it back at the Super Bowl ... and Tech N9ne is sending a clear message to his friends, Gillie and Wallo -- telling TMZ Sports the bet they made back in 2023 is back on!!

We chopped it up with the Strange Music co-founder and Chiefs super fan after his team punched their ticket to their third straight Super Bowl appearance ... and he provided an update on a longstanding wager he made with the "Million Dollaz Worth Of Game" cohosts when their squads faced off two years ago.

"Me, Wallo and Gillie been here before like in '23," Tecca Nina said. "Now it's back on, baby!"

The trio initially threw down a bet that would have forced Gillie and Wallo to star in the visuals for Tech's K.C. anthem, "Red Kingdom," with egg on their faces.

In return, if the Birds won SB LVII, Tech would have had to appear on their show and do an Eagles-themed dance.

Tech said he put the bet on hold "out of love and respect" following the tragic death of Gillie's son -- YNG Cheese.

Now, with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs looking to make history over Jalen Hurts and the Eagles ... Tech is confident his team will become the first three-peat Super Bowl champions in NFL history.

"I always say that we're gonna win," Tech said. "I never talk smack like everybody else do. 'The Birds gonna do this!' I'm like keep on talking."

Whether you're looking for revenge or a rare NFL threepeat -- the first possible in the Super Bowl era -- you'll want to gear up for the epic Super Bowl LIX matchup between the Chiefs and the Eagles.

The Kansas City Chiefs are making the case for dynasty with their fifth appearance in six years, including wins in the last two. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are looking for redemption after losing to the Chiefs in 2023.

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift will also likely be at the big game to root for her man, Travis Kelce, in red and gold. And now, fans can match her energy with their own swag from the NFL Shop!

The Eagles, on the other hand, are back in the Big Game after going 14-3 and winning the NFC East in the regular season.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. is insisting he didn't shade the hell outta Bills fans after his son's team squashed Buffalo's Super Bowl chances yet again on Sunday ... claiming the social media post in question wasn't his doing.

Mahomes Sr. ruffled some feathers after his X account took shots at Bills backers this week ... when a post that said, "Today is a great day to not be from Buffalo," was published.

Naturally, people from upstate New York were pissed ... but a follow-up on Mahomes Sr.'s Instagram page attempted to clear the air.

Super Bowl LIX is still over a week away, but Michael Blackson's already bringing the trash talk to Travis Kelce's doorstep -- trolling him over his facial hair and his famous relationship!!

The diehard Eagles supporter unleashed the needling during a sitdown with TMZ Sports this week -- just hours after Philadelphia punched its ticket to the Big Game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

Blackson made fun of Kelce's propensity to play with his beard trimmer ... before insisting, "I don't even know his name!"
