Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have become one of the biggest storylines to follow for both sports and culture media outlets. Last September, the music icon showed up at one of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games and eventually they announced they had been dating privately leading up to the start of the 2023 NFL season. The Kelce/Swift relationship has been the perfect American love story so far — with so many fans of both the pop music star and NFL player— assuming they will get married sooner rather than later. So far, it’s all been peaches and roses, which is…

The Kansas City Chiefs are sitting at (3-0) and once again, look like they are on the path to win their third-straight Super Bowl, a feat that has never happened in the modern NFL. Over the last few years, the Chiefs have emerged as the villain of the NFL, similar to how the Patriots dynasty ignited hate from other team’s fans for so long. But the 2024 Chiefs are a much different story than the Patriots under Bill Belichick with Tom Brady at QB. Belichick did everything in his power to keep his team out of the spotlight — and…

The Ole Miss Rebels have revitalized their football program under Lane Kiffin — and with the SEC schedule coming soon for the 2024 squad — they look as poised as anyone to make a legitimate run at the College Football Playoff. On the other side of the SEC is the Auburn Tigers, who are coached by former Ole Miss front man Hugh Freeze. Freeze was the Ole Miss Rebels head coach from 2012 to 2016 and by the end of his tenure, had put the Rebels on the map in a major way. He led the Rebels to a (9-3)…

The Kansas City Chiefs are chasing their third-straight Super Bowl, and somehow they look like one of the top teams in the NFL yet again, despite so many potential distractions off the field. With so much on the line, the organization would ideally like to avoid as many distractions as possible heading amidst the 2024 season, but the opposite has been true. The Chiefs have dominated headlines this offseason —but the storylines haven’t been about football — and there seems to be one controversy after the next with the Super Bowl champs. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was…

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has kept his political views to himself, but his wife Brittany, has been vocal about her support for Donald Trump. The Chiefs QB made a statement earlier this year about his outlook toward politics with he upcoming election. “I think I’ve always said that I don’t want my place or platform to be used to endorse a candidate either way,” Mahomes said when asked about his political beliefs. “My place is to inform people to get registered to vote and inform people to do their own research and make the best decision for their…
