Taylor Swift se está preparando para volver a alentar a Travis Kelce desde las tribunas, pues sabemos que planea asistir al partido del jueves por la noche en Kansas City. Aunque el estado de Kelce para el juego sigue siendo cuestionable.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Taylor planea viajar a Missouri para ver a Travis y los Kansas City Chiefs enfrentarse a Russell Wilson y los Denver Broncos.

Si lo hace, sería la tercera aparición de Taylor en un partido de Travis en las últimas cuatro semanas. El equipo ha permanecido invicto desde que Taylor apareció por primera vez en un juego junto a la mamá de Travis, Donna, el 24 de septiembre.

Como informamos, Taylor fue al partido de los Chiefs contra los Jets la semana siguiente al primer encuentro, pero estuvo desaparecida cuando Travis y su equipo se enfrentaron a los Minnesota Vikings en Minneapolis el domingo pasado.

Un factor importante en la posible aparición de Taylor este jueves es que Travis está luchando con una lesión de tobillo y el mismo equipo anunció el miércoles que su estado para jugar aún era "cuestionable".

Si Taylor aparece como estaba previsto, el momento es interesante. Los Chiefs tendrán un par de días de descanso, por lo que no jugarán el partido habitual del domingo, lo que le permitiría a ella pasar más tiempo con él en casa.

No está de más decir que Taylor está teniendo una semana muy ocupada. El miércoles cerró el famoso The Grove en Los Ángeles para el estreno de su película "Eras Tour", en la que además hizo una aparición sorpresa.

El ala cerrada de los Browns, David Njoku, acaba de revelar cómo lucía su rostro tras el grave accidente en el pozo de fuego en su casa hace poco más de una semana y es muy duro de ver.

El jugador de 27 años de edad, apareció en el informe de lesiones de los Browns antes de su partido de la cuarta semana contra los Ravens, donde declaró que sufrió lesiones en el brazo y la cara.

Njoku de alguna manera jugó a pesar del dolor de las quemaduras y de hecho atrapó 6 pases para 46 yardas en una derrota ante Baltimore.

Antes del partido, Njoku llevaba una máscara que cubría completamente su rostro mientras caminaba hacia el estadio, lo que significaba que nadie pudo ver de cerca al ex recluta de primera ronda.

Eso cambió el miércoles cuando Njoku publicó una selfie desde su carro, probablemente en algún momento poco después de la quemadura.

También compartió una mirada actualizada en su cara, que parece haber sanado sustancialmente.

Njoku está convirtiendo el accidente en algo positivo. Lanzó una línea de ropa y está donando una parte del dinero de las ventas a la Asociación Americana de Quemaduras.

"Quiero usar mi plataforma para ayudar a crear conciencia sobre un problema demasiado común", dijo Njoku.

Browns tight end David Njoku just revealed what his face looked like in the aftermath of the serious fire pit accident at his home a little more than a week ago, and it's gruesome.

Of course, the 27-year-old appeared on the Browns injury report before their week 4 game against the Ravens ... which stated he suffered injuries to his arm and face.

Njoku somehow played through the pain of the burns and actually caught 6 passes for 46 yards in a loss to Baltimore.

Prior to the game, Njoku wore a mask that fully covered his face as he walked into the stadium, meaning no one got an up-close look at the former first-round draft pick.

That changed on Wednesday when Njoku posted a selfie from his car, presumably sometime shortly after the burn.

He also shared an updated look at his face ... which appears to have substantially healed.

Njoku's turning the accident into a positive. He launched a clothing line and is donating a portion of the money from sales to the American Burn Association.

“I want to use my platform to help bring awareness to an all too common issue,” Njoku said.

If Taylor Swift makes a return trip to Arrowhead Stadium this week, she might not be able to watch Travis Kelce play ... 'cause the Chiefs just revealed the pop star's new flame is questionable for the big game.

Kansas City is playing on Thursday night instead of the usual Sunday in a prime time contest against the Denver Broncos ... but with Kelce still nursing an ankle injury that he suffered last weekend, he might have to sit it out.

The Chiefs listed him as a limited participant in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday -- suggesting there's still a chance he could play -- but taking the game off would allow him nearly two full weeks to rest up before the Chiefs take on the Chargers next on Oct. 22.

The star tight end has already missed one game this season due to injury -- sitting out the season-opener against the Lions with a knee issue -- but he's played in every other game since ... including two that Swift saw in person.

Of course, it was unclear if Swift had any intentions of heading to K.C. for the "Thursday Night Football" showdown ... but with Kelce's status up in the air, it seems watching the game from home might just have to be the play.

9:08 AM PT -- Según la policía, Sergio Brown fue detenido por el asesinato en primer grado de su madre. Será extraditado a Illinois por el cargo.

El ex jugador de la NFL, Sergio Brown, ha sido detenido en el sur de California, TMZ Sports ha confirmado lo casi cuatro semanas después de que su madre fue encontrada muerta en Illinois.

Según los registros de la cárcel, el ex defensive back fue llevado a una cárcel de San Diego el martes. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que el arresto se deriva de una orden de arresto en Illinois relacionada con la muerte de su madre, Myrtle Brown, en septiembre.

CNN agregó el miércoles que Sergio fue encontrado recientemente en México por las autoridades y deportado después de que se enteraron de la orden de arresto.

Ahora se espera que sea transportado pronto a Illinois para enfrentar cargos en el caso.

Como informamos, Brown había sido visto en México bailando y de fiesta en los días posteriores a la muerte de Myrtle. También fue visto en un video selfie divagando sobre el fallecimiento de Myrtle y las "noticias falsas".

Las autoridades de Illinois, por su parte, han guardado silencio sobre la investigación de la muerte de la madre de Sergio, aunque los funcionarios dijeron que han dictaminado el fallecimiento de la mujer de 73 años de edad como un homicidio después de que su cuerpo fue descubierto cerca de un arroyo con aparentes lesiones de asalto.

Las solicitudes de comentarios del Departamento de Policía de Maywood el miércoles no fueron devueltas inmediatamente.

Sergio, que fue estrella en Notre Dame, jugó en la NFL de 2010 a 2016, comenzando 15 juegos.

The Vegas Golden Knights raised their championship banner last night in awesome fashion ... and let's just say it's a celebration Mark Davis could get behind!

The Stanley Cup champs opened the '23-'24 season at home Tuesday night (they beat the Seattle Kraken 4-1) ... and in true Sin City fashion, the organization used a giant slot machine on the T-Mobile Arena ice to get the party started.

Team captain Mark Stone got the festivities going when he emerged holding the coveted Stanley Cup trophy above his head ... skating around the ice as the fans lost it.

31-year-old Stone skated up to the big ass slot machine and gave the lever a tug ... and it came up "🏆🏆🏆"

That's when the giant banner, reading "STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS 2023", was slowly hoisted towards the rafters.

The Golden Knights had an incredible season last year. They finished with the best record in the Western Conference, scoring 111 points. Once in the playoffs, the GK made things look relatively easy, beating the Winnipeg Jets (4 games to 1), Edmonton Oilers (4 games to 2), Dallas Stars (4 games to 2) and Florida Panthers (4 games to 1).

Although this is only the organization's 7th season, they have been insanely successful, winning three division championships, two conference championships, and now a Stanley Cup title.

9:08 AM PT -- According to cops, Sergio Brown was taken in on a warrant for First-Degree Murder in the death of his mom. He will be extradited to Illinois on the charge.

Former NFL player Sergio Brown has been arrested in Southern California, TMZ Sports has confirmed ... nearly four weeks after his mother was found dead in Illinois.

According to jail records, the ex-defensive back was booked into a San Diego jail on Tuesday. Our sources tell us the arrest stems from a warrant in Illinois related to the September death of his mom, Myrtle Brown.

CNN added on Wednesday that Sergio was recently found in Mexico by authorities and deported after they became aware of the warrant.

He's now expected to be transported soon to Illinois to face charges in the case.

As we reported, Brown had been seen in Mexico dancing and partying in the days following Myrtle's death. He was also spotted in a selfie video from the country rambling about Myrtle's passing and "fake news."

Authorities in Illinois, meanwhile, have been largely mum on the investigation into Sergio's mother's death ... though officials did say they've ruled the 73-year-old's passing as a homicide after her body was discovered near a creek with apparent assault injuries.

Requests for comment from the Maywood Police Dept. on Wednesday were not immediately returned.

Sergio, who starred at Notre Dame, played in the NFL from 2010 to 2016 ... starting 15 games.

Aaron Rodgers wants to settle his back-and-forth with "Mr. Pfizer" once and for all ... proposing a star-studded Covid-19 debate with Travis Kelce -- and he wants Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dr. Fauci to get involved!!

As we previously reported, AR8 and the Kansas City Chiefs superstar have been sending playful jabs toward each other over the past week ... ever since the New York Jets coined his new nickname for Kelce on "The Pat McAfee Show."

Rodgers returned for his weekly appearance with McAfee on Tuesday ... and he responded to Kelce claiming the two were in a "vax war."

"This ain't a war, homie," Rodgers told McAfee minutes ago. "This is just conversation. But if you want to have some sort of duel, debate, have me on the podcast, come on the show. Let's have a conversation."

The four-time MVP added he wants both sides to pick some backup help for the potential hash-out sesh ... revealing he wants RFK Jr. in his corner, and Kelce can choose Fauci or "some other pharmacrat" as his support.

Of course, a potential debate would surely be popcorn-worthy -- Rodgers and RFK Jr. have been outspoken against the Covid-19 vax, and Kelce and Fauci are strong proponents of getting the jab.

Arthur Blank is stepping up in a huge way, donating $750k to hospitals and medics in Israel ... all to help those maimed in the Hamas terror attacks.

The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation made the announcement of the incredibly generous gift on Tuesday, announcing the funds would go to two medical centers near the Israeli/Gaza border, as well as an organization that supports thousands of volunteer medics across the country.

"The unimaginable, distressing terrorist attacks on Israel that have resulted in death, injury and trauma for scores of people over the past few days are an attack on all humanity, and there is no place in this world for the horrific violence we have witnessed," Arthur said in a statement released by his organization.

Blank, who is Jewish, co-founded Home Depot in the late '70s, and bought the Falcons in 2002. With a net worth around $7.5 billion, per Forbes, AB is one of the richest people in the world.

In addition to the money going to the Barzilai Medical Center, a frontline hospital, and Soroka Medical Center, a trauma facility, in southern Israel, Blank's donation will also go towards supplying United Hatzalah's medical professionals with protective equipment (vests and helmets), as well as medical supplies like oxygen tanks, defibrillators, and bandages.

Three-quarters of a million is generous, but it sounds like Arthur may even donate more, calling the $750k an "initial emergency grant," saying they'd be working with other relief groups to "identify areas of most critical need for additional support."

Deion Sanders is hoping Shedeur Sanders cashes in on his now-famous watch celebration ... telling media members Tuesday his son's ready for a "lucrative" deal.

The Colorado star quarterback has been hitting the move -- one in which he shows off a timepiece on his left wrist after making big plays -- for weeks now ... but after he flashed it following an epic victory over Arizona State on Saturday, it took off.

Players from all over the NFL -- including superstars like Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Davante Adams -- copied it both before and after games this weekend.

And, after DJ Khaled dubbed it "The Shedeur" earlier this year ... Deion says he's now hoping his 21-year-old boy can pad his bank account soon over it all.

"It's hilarious to me because he and I joke about it on a daily basis," Coach Prime said. "We just got to get him a lucrative watch deal. He can't keep doing it for free. He can't keep doing it for nothing."

"We gotta capitalize now," he added with a smile. "He is my son. We gotta capitalize on the moment!"

Good news for Shedeur ... the NCAA's name, image and likeness rules will allow him to get any such deal that comes forward.

Donald Trump just lowkey dissed his friend Bill Belichick, hilariously roasting the NFL coach's struggling football team during a speech ... admitting they suck while taking a shot at President Joe Biden!

#45 was in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire this week (deep in Pats country), speaking with supporters ahead of the 2024 presidential race ... when he likened Biden negotiating with Chinese President Xi Jinping to a high school football team playing a great NFL squad.

Cue the shade.

"Let’s see, what’s a good football team nowadays?" Trump asked.

"I used to say New England. I used to say the Patriots," Trump said. "I’d love to be able to say the Patriots. I’d love to be able to say the Patriots. [Belichick's] a great guy, great coach, but they’re having a little hard time."

Trump's remarks came a day after the Patriots were whooped 34-0 at home against the Saints, the worst loss in Belichick's era. The Pats lost to the Cowboys the week prior, 38-3.

The team is currently 1-4 record and in last place in the AFC East.

"What’s going on with the Patriots?" Trump said. "But he’s a great coach. He’ll figure it out somehow. He's gonna figure it out but that was not a good game last night, was it?"

Even though Donald and Bill are cool, some Patriots fans didn't take the jabs lightly ... one of 'em used Will Smith's Oscars outburst quote to respond on X, writing, "Keep my team's name out your GD mouth lol."

Another fan wrote ... "We’re getting bantered by Trump, it’s so over."

It doesn't get any easier for NE -- who play the division rivals Bills and Dolphins (they have a combined record of 7-3 and are one of the best squads in the AFC) -- over the next three weeks.

Aaron Rodgers quiere zanjar de una vez por todas su tira y afloja con el "Sr. Pfizer" proponiendo un debate estelar sobre la vacuna Covid-19 con Travis Kelce ¡y quiere que participen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. y el Dr. Fauci!

Como informamos anteriormente, AR8 y la superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs han estado enviándose mensajes el uno al otro durante la semana pasada, desde que los Jets de Nueva York acuñaran su nuevo apodo para Kelce en "The Pat McAfee Show".

Rodgers regresó para su aparición semanal con McAfee el martes y le respondió a Kelce afirmando que los dos estaban en una "guerra de vacunas".

"Esto no es una guerra, homie", dijo Rodgers a McAfee hace minutos. "Esto es solo una conversación. Pero si quieres tener algún tipo debate, recíbeme en el podcast o ven al programa. Tengamos una conversación".

El cuatro veces MVP agregó que quiere que ambas partes elijan alguna ayuda de respaldo para el potencial debate, revelando que quiere a RFK Jr. en su esquina y que Kelce puede elegir a Fauci o a algún otro "vacuna lover" como su apoyo.

Rodgers y RFK Jr. se han mostrado abiertamente en contra de la vacuna Covid-19 mientras que Kelce y Fauci son firmes defensores de la misma.

Mark Davis is apparently interested in exhausting every option to add to his massive fortune ... 'cause the Raiders owner was just seen hoping to score some cash on a slot machine at an airport in Vegas!!

According to one social media user, the billionaire got in the gambling sesh before the Raiders took on the Packers on "Monday Night Football."

His game of choice ... "Wheel of Fortune" -- but based on his reaction to the flashing lights in front of him, it doesn't seem like he was finding a whole lot of wealth.

But, if that was the case, Davis can certainly afford to take the hit ... after all, the 68-year-old is reportedly worth $2.3 BILLION!!!

It seems the slot machine play was all interrupted regardless when a lady friend arrived. She appeared to be the same person Davis sat with during the MNF game at Allegiant Stadium.

Tyreek Hill has a ring, now he wants a medal! 🥇

Flag football was proposed as one of a handful of new sports that could be coming to the 2028 Summer Olympics ... and Cheetah's aiming to put together an Avengers-like all-star squad and win gold!

"Calling all NFL guys let's bring one home," the 29-year-old tweeted in response to the news on Monday.

It's not a done deal just yet ... flag football, in addition to baseball/softball, lacrosse, cricket and squash will be voted on by the International Olympic Committee in the coming days.

Assuming FF gets enough votes, it'll debut in five years in the City of Angels, and Hill clearly wants to represent the U.S.

Hill would be 34 when the Games commence.

Professional flag football leagues do exist, but it's hard to imagine anyone being better than Tyreek and his fellow NFL stars.

Sure, there's no need for Trent Williams ... but, imagine Cheetah, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase -- scary!

In fact, we've seen what Hill can do sans pads ... Tyreek took on an entire women's flag team last year, and was unstoppable, all by himself.

Folks who wanna be Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce can play make-believe on Halloween -- and it's a lock that lots of people will do just that, much to the joy of one costume shop raking in the dough.

A rep for 3 Wishes, an online Halloween retailer, tells TMZ ... their Taylor and Travis-inspired getups this year are far and away the most popular costumes, as people snap 'em up in droves. So much so, they're completely sold out!

Customers have been able to double-dip a bit, up to this point -- 3 Wishes has had 2 different TS costume options ... a solo "Pop Star" one and a separate item that actually paired the pop star costume with a whole other football player outfit. Naturally, that's in the style of the Chiefs tight end ... right down to his jersey number.

Those were selling for $27.95 and $119.95, respectively, but now -- 3 Wishes says its inventory's been ransacked by fans wanting to resemble the new showbiz "it" couple. They had 500 of the solo TS costumes, and 300 of the duo costumes.

We're told the Taylor/Travis duo costume is their second-fastest-selling product in the company's history -- with their 'Tiger King' costume from 2020 still reigning supreme. 3 Wishes says they're out of stock right now, but will re-up on the 16th.

La gente que quiere ser Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce pueden jugar a serlo en Halloween, y hay una tienda que está muy feliz con la tendencia.

Un representante de 3 Wishes  —un minorista de Halloween en línea— le dice a TMZ que sus disfraces inspirados en Taylor y Travis de este año son, con mucho, sus disfraces más populares y que la gente está acudiendo a comprarlos en masa, ¡tanto es así que están completamente agotados!

Curiosamente, sus clientes han sido capaces de sacarle provecho a la situación. Verás, 3 Wishes ha tenido dos opciones diferentes de disfraces de Taylor: una que es ella sola como  "Pop Star" y otra que viene con un artículo extra que es el traje de jugador de fútbol americano (obviamente muy del estilo del ala cerrada de los Chiefs, hasta tiene su número de camiseta).

Se vendían por 27,95 y 119,95 dólares, respectivamente, pero ahora, 3 Wishes dice que su inventario ha sido saqueado por los fans que quieren parecerse a la nueva pareja de Hollywood. Tenían 500 de los trajes de TayTay y 300 de los trajes del dúo, usted puede hacer el cálculo.

Nos han dicho que el disfraz del dúo Taylor/Travis es el segundo producto que más rápido se ha vendido en la historia de la empresa, mientras que el disfraz de "Rey Tigre" de 2020 sigue siendo el más vendido. 3 Wishes nos informa de que se han agotado las existencias en este momento, pero que volverán a ponerse a la venta el día 16.
