The “super couple’s” relationship has been a major talking point in the media, sometimes even outshining the gridiron action. It has even got to a point that Taylor Swift herself has designed one of the Chiefs’ play calls. “Swifties” who are also football fans, however, have yet to see what the play looks like. In connection to the play, Kelly Stafford, host of “The Morning After” podcast and…

While Tom Brady seemingly got heated up about Baker Mayfield’s comments a couple of weeks ago, Cam Newton was more neutral about it. Mayfield implied on the 11th episode of the “Casa de Klub” podcast that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers felt less stress and more fun after the seven-time Super Bowl champion left the team and retired. Many thought that his comment was a shot at Brady, who used to be the Buccaneers quarterback. The seven-time Super Bowl champion himself clapped back at the current Buccaneers quarterback during Fox Sports’ broadcast of the Bucs’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles, saying…
