Apparently, clicks and attention aren’t the only things Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s blooming relationship generated over an eventful weekend headlined by the pop superstar’s appearance at Sunday’s Bears–Chiefs game.
As if either celebrity could have gotten any more popular, a Monday report from TMZ on the Chiefs tight end’s jersey sales illustrated how infatuated the public has already become with Kelce and Swift’s love story. And considering the final figure, it seems pretty safe to say that the sea of buzz is real, in case there was any doubt.

Megan Rapinoe suited up for her final game as the United States women’s national team captain.
True to her political platform, Rapinoe did not sing the national anthem in protest of the nation’s alleged ‘assault’ on rights for members of the LGBT community and pay disparity in women’s soccer.
Knowing her rights to protest are protected in America, Rapinoe proudly remained mum during “The Star Spangled Banner” played before Sunday’s match.
On Monday night, the Eagles’ defense shined.
Cowboys defensive star Micah Parsons paid Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce tremendous praise during his podcast The Edge on Monday.
The 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year applauded Kelce’s skills off the field for developing a romance with Taylor Swift, while also admitting to being a fan of the pop star. Parsons compared Kelce’s new relationship to reaching the status of four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry.
“Yes, I am a Swiftie,” admitted Parsons. “Big hype for you, dawg. You know what it is, dawg.
Wait, what? In today’s day and age where everyone knows EVERYTHING about athletes, apparently no one knew that Jalen Hurts was sick. That’s according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who mentioned it during the halftime show of the Philadelphia Eagles-Tampa Bay Buccaneers Monday Night Football game.
If a starting quarterbacks has a cold, reporters generally know about it. NFL teams actually have to report those things, usually. Hurts didn’t miss any practice time, so the issue — if true — must have cropped up either late Sunday or Monday morning.
The president of Colombian second division soccer club Tigres FC was shot and killed on Saturday following the team’s defeat during a home match against Atletico FC, per a club announcement.
According to ESPN, Edgar Paez, 63, was fatally shot while returning home by car following a 3-2 defeat against Atletico FC on Saturday. Reports indicate his daughter was present at the time of the shooting but escaped unharmed.
The incident reportedly occurred near the club’s stadium, the Metropolitano de Techo in Bogota, at around 6:15 p.m. local time.
After starting the season with a couple of lopsided wins, the Arkansas Razorbacks have dropped the last two games. Fans are frustrated, but head coach Sam Pittman said that’s no excuse for the way they’ve behaved on social media.
Last week, Pittman deleted his X (formerly known as Twitter) account. And on Monday, following the Hogs’ Week 4 loss to LSU, he explained why.
“I do not believe that you can hide behind a phone and address people as personally as people do. I don’t think it’s fair, I don’t think it’s right,” Pittman said.
With trade talks involving Damian Lillard reportedly intensifying as of late, the long-awaited blockbuster deal for the Trail Blazers star may finally be close to happening, according to ESPN NBA insider Marc Spears.
Appearing on Monday’s NBA Today, Spears dropped a seismic update regarding Lillard, stating several general managers around the league expect the seven-time All-Star will be traded by NBA media day on Oct. 2.
“I also hear from those same GMs that they don’t expect Dame to end up being in Portland on Media Day on Monday,” Spears told NBA Today host Malika Andrews.
On Monday, NFL Films shared several hot mic moments of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes referencing how star tight end Travis Kelce often goes off-script in terms of his route-running.
Firstly, while doing an on-camera post-game interview, Mahomes stated that Kelce made up his own route prior to catching a touchdown in Week 3 against the Bears.
“He does his own thing and just makes up a route, and I throw it to him,” Mahomes told Fox’s Erin Andrews.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow, originally questionable with a right calf injury, is active and expected to start Monday night’s game against the Rams.
