    The Kansas City Chiefs are the toast of the NFL. The league’s newest model organization is also its newest dynasty after its victory in Super Bowl LVIII earlier this month — and if the Chiefs are fully healthy in 2024, they will have every opportunity to become the first team ever to win the Super Bowl in three consecutive seasons.

    Everyone around the NFL envies this level of success. But to hear Chiefs coach Andy Reid talk about it, the 65-year-old is only too eager to credit one of his team’s transcendent superstars for all the winning over the past five years, a stretch that has seen Kansas City win three Super Bowls after a five-decade drought.

    Patrick Mahomes destroys defender in pick-up basketball game as throwback video goes viral again

    Reid reveals his “secret”

    Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine in IndianapolisReid credited Patrick Mahomes for much of his success as the Chiefs’ coach. Reid did not directly name Mahomes as the prime reason for Kansas City’s emergence as a juggernaut, but he did say that in order to compete for championships, a team has to have a “good quarterback.” Mahomes is certainly that.

    Since taking over the Chiefs’ starting quarterback job in 2018, Mahomes has won two regular-season MVP awards and three Super Bowl MVPs. He can make plays — with his feet as well as his cannon arm — that no other quarterback in the NFL can make, especially out of the general offensive structure. Reid said that in response, all he’s tried to do is “teach” Mahomes how to win, seeing as the 28-year-old seems to have everything else just about figured out.

    Mahomes eyeing more greatness

    Mahomes does not turn 30 years old until early in the 2025 NFL season, leaving fans — especially those rooting for the Chiefs — salivating as to what else he can achieve in his career.

    Mahomes could make a serious run at Tom Brady‘s record of seven Super Bowl victories, and three more MVP awards would tie him with Peyton Manning for the most in league history. If he wins another Offensive Player of the Year award, Mahomes would become only the ninth player ever to win the honor in multiple seasons. These accolades and more all feel possible if the former Texas Tech standout stays healthy in the coming seasons.

    The game of the night in the NBA on Tuesday was a thrilling matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The game went down to the wire, and it was so enthralling that Kansas City Chiefs superstars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes tuned in — and they could not believe how the Cavaliers pulled out the victory.

    Cavaliers guard Max Strus hit a buzzer-beating shot from beyond halfcourt to secure a 121-119 win for Cleveland over Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. The incredible shot capped a wild comeback, and it drew the admiration of the two Super Bowl champions as they enjoy their offseason, with head coach Andy Reid attending the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

    Mahomes in disbelief as Kelce praises the Cavs

    The Cavaliers have been red-hot since mid-December, but they found themselves in a bind on Tuesday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Mavericks had a 10-point lead with a little over four minutes to go and appeared ticketed for a big win that would have brought them level with the Phoenix Suns for sixth place in the Western Conference.

    Dallas was on the verge of victory when Doncic assisted P.J. Washington‘s layup with 2.6 seconds left, giving it a 119-118 lead. But then, Strus inbounded the ball, got it back, and swished a halfcourt shot for the improbable win — which brought Cleveland’s record over the past 32 games to 25-7.

    Mahomes, who knows a thing or two about late drama, took to X (formerly Twitter) immediately and quote-posted a highlight of the Strus shot. He said “ain’t no way” Strus hit that buzzer-beater from that distance, adding three crying laughing emojis and tagging Kelce — who was born in Westlake, Ohio, less than 15 miles from downtown Cleveland.

    Kelce — who will be honored with his own bobblehead night in Cleveland next week — said the Cavaliers “got the juice” at this moment in time. The Cavs‘ 38-19 record is good for second in the Eastern Conference, and their defense entering Tuesday night ranked second in the NBA in points allowed per game.

    Kelce’s excitement over the Cavs could continue into the summer, with Cleveland in a decent position to do something it has never done — reach the NBA Finals and win a championship without LeBron James on the roster. That could make it a two-championship year for the future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, adding on to his massive contributions in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

    Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce isn’t just a powerhouse on the football field; he’s become a hot commodity in the world of endorsements, with a slew of businesses and brands vying for his sponsorship. According to reports, a whopping fifty companies are clamoring to have Kelce represent their products or services, and they’re willing to pay top dollar for the privilege.

    One of the standout offers comes from Toyota, which sees Kelce as the “new idol of sports and entertainment” due in part to his high-profile relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift. The car manufacturer is reportedly prepared to offer Kelce a staggering $1.5 million annually for four years, sweetened with a hefty signing bonus of $1.2 million.

    But Toyota isn’t the only company vying for Kelce‘s endorsement. Calvin Klein is also eager to ink a deal with the football star, though the specifics of their offer remain undisclosed. And it’s not just apparel and automotive companies knocking on Kelce’s door; household names like Gillette, Kohl’s, and Samsonite have all thrown their hats into the ring with multi-million dollar proposals.

    Kelce is racking up the cash this year

    Kelce’s already impressive roster of endorsements includes partnerships with industry giants like Pfizer, Amazon, Nike, and L’Homme Helzberg Diamonds. Combined with his lucrative football contract, which sees the Chiefs owing him $30 million over the next two years, Kelce is set to enjoy financial security for years to come.

    However, amidst the flurry of business inquiries, questions arise about Kelce’s availability to continue playing football. With the Chiefs eyeing a third consecutive title, Kelce remains a crucial asset on the field. Yet, with his burgeoning off-field commitments, balancing endorsements and gridiron duties may prove challenging.

    As speculation swirls about Kelce‘s future endeavors, one thing is certain: whether he’s catching passes or pitching products, Travis Kelce’s star power shows no signs of dimming anytime soon.

    A former star for the Green Bay Packers is reported to have passed away.

    The University of Montana revealed on Tuesday that Steve Okoniewski, who also played for the Grizzlies, died at the age of 74 on Tuesday.

    “We lost a Montana legend,” the team wrote in a tweet. “Steve Okoniewski was a Grizzly All-American and 2nd-round NFL Draft pick in 1972. After a six-year NFL career, he became an educator and a state-champion high school football coach in Montana and Wisconsin. Our hearts are with his family.”

    The former defensive tackle played six years in the NFL, two of which were spent with the Packers. He began his career with the Buffalo Bills, playing from 1972-73 before moving to Green Bay, where he had a two-year stint.

    He retired after a spell with the St. Louis Cardinals.

    While he played for three organizations, Okoniewski seemed most proud of his time in Green Bay.

    “I didn’t play on successful teams, and I wasn’t the most talented player,” he said in 2010. “I had to work extra hard because I didn’t have the natural abilities. … But I’m proud to say, I was a Green Bay Packer and live in Green Bay.”

    TotalProSports extends commiserations to Steve’s family, friends, and loved ones.

    Rest in peace, Steve Okoniewski. 1949-2024

    BREAKING: Tyreek Hill Sued By “Plus-Size” OF Model Who Claims Dolphins WR Broke Her Leg After She Humiliated Him In Backyard Football Game

    Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill is reportedly being sued for breaking a woman’s leg in retaliation to her humiliating him during a backyard football game last year.

    According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the wideout is the defendant of a lawsuit filed by social media influencer and OF model Sophie Hall, who claims she embarrassed Hill by holding her own and even knocking him back during practice drills at his Florida mansion.

    Hill is accused of rushing at Hall and throwing her to the ground with such force, he broke her leg and forced her into reconstructive surgery and several months of physiotherapy.

    The WR, said to have been “enraged” at the time, is being sued for battery, assault, and negligence.

    “Tyreek Hill, a National Football League superstar, perennial Pro Bowler, First Team All-Pro and world class athlete nicknamed the “Cheetah” for his incredible combination of strength and speed, makes his living humiliating and outperforming his competition on the football field,” the suit reads.

    “Unfortunately, after getting ”humiliated” in front of friends and family when he was knocked backwards during a friendly football lesson by his friend Sophie Hall, Tyreek became enraged and forcefully and purposefully shoved Ms. Hall, severely fracturing her leg.”

     

    Hill was recently in the news after filing for a divorce from his wife of just months and subsequently retracting the application after details went public. He also found himself in trouble with the law last offseason for assaulting an employee after being asked to exit a boat at a Miami marina.

(Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images)
    The Kansas City Chiefs have made a decision on superstar cornerback L’Jarius Sneed as free agency draws closer.

    According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs told Sneed that they’re planning to set the franchise tag on him. That said, Fowler stated that Kansas City is “open to consummate a trade off” if the two sides can’t reach a long-term deal.

    Fowler added that Sneed is on board with the idea.

    Placing the franchise tag on Sneed means he won’t be going to free agency. So even if the Chiefs have to trade the two-time Super Bowl champion, they’ll still receive valuable compensation in return.

    Tagging Sneed also means the franchise tag will not be placed on superstar defensive tackle Chris Jones. So the Chiefs will either have to reach a long-term deal with him or risk losing Jones for nothing when the free agent market opens up on Mar. 13.

    The 27-year-old Sneed has emerged as one of the Chiefs’ cornerstone players during their dynastic run. The No. 138 selection of the 2020 NFL Draft has 10 career interceptions and 40 pass defenses to go along with four forced fumbles.

    Sneed had by far his best season in 2023, recording a career-best 14 pass breakups while not allowing a single touchdown in coverage during the regular season. He had three pass defenses and one forced fumble in the Chiefs’ 2023-24 playoff run that culminated in a Super Bowl 58 championship.

    Jason Kelce’s last daughter, Bennie, turned one this past weekend.

    The newest addition to the Philadelphia Eagles star and his wife Kylie’s family looks just like her dad and that’s what everyone was saying after her mom shared a photo of her to Instagram.

    “Bennie turned 1 on Friday,” Kylie wrote as the caption to the adorable post. “She is a content, curious, climber that is now getting involved in everything her older sisters are doing. Wish us luck… she’s getting faster everyday.”

    Check it out below:

    The pic drew several comments from IG users who observed how much the youngest Kelce looks like the Eagles center, while looking nothing like her mom.

    “Kylieeee, did your genes even try?!!” one fan asked.

    “Jason’s twin!” another said.

    “I was gonna say all I see is another female baby jason,” one user wrote.

    “I literally was thinking the same thing, Jason jr over there,” one pointed out.

    Below are similar comments from other fans:
    “Omg she’s Jason’s twin in this pic!!!!”

    “She is a mini Jason!”

    “She looks like Jason and Travis ran at eachother full speed then out came Bennie.”

    “She looks more like Jason than Wyatt does!”

    “Them Kelce genes are strong!”
    Meanwhile, the six-time Al-Pro is mulling over retirement. He seems to have enough keeping him busy at home with a new little climber in the house. But there is the possibility of at least one more season.

    In any case, we should know soon enough.

    Travis Kelce’s niece is a Swiftie, and appears to ship Traylor wholeheartedly. In a wholesome TikTok posted by Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, on Monday, their four-year-old daughter, Wyatt, familiarized herself with her dad’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, play against the Los Angeles Rams. “Just another swiftie tryna [sic] learn football, or a kid tryna avoid a nap. Who Knows?” the NFL wife jokingly captioned the pictures, shouting out her husband’s team with a “#GoBirds”. As the sharp-witted repeatedly asked “who’s that,” pointing to the screen when a player would pop up, Kylie obligingly answered, further explaining their roles. The caption referred to the phenomenon following pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce’s budding romance, whereby Taylor’s devoted fanbase, who call themselves "Swifties", started studying up on the NFL. Moreover, as Swift took a breather from her ongoing record-breaking Eras Tour and attended multiple of her new admirer’s football games over the past few weeks, the league’s viewership drew in a huge female viewership, per Page Six. Now, if her dad being in the NFL wasn’t already enough to pique her interest in football, the blossoming romance between her uncle and her favourite musician seemed to have done the job.

    Is Taylor swift really Pregnant for Travis Kelce? The real Truth Unveiled

    Is Taylor swift about to be a mom to a little boy or girl?

    Speculation is rampant that Taylor Swift is expecting a baby with new partner Travis after she was spotted with a prominent stomach bulge on Sunday evening (October 7, 2023), during romantic dinner date nearby her place.

    Another source revealed that “she TWICE made toasts … by drinking water instead of wine,” adding that it is “highly unusual” to “toast with anything but a full glass of wine.” (In case you weren’t aware, pregnant ladies aren’t supposed to drink alcohol.)

    Twitter reacts to Taylor Swift pregnancy rumor

    Travis Kelce “I do not comment on her personal life,”… and therefore has neither confirmed nor denied. This has caused multiple stories about the alleged pregnancy to make their way through bulletin boards and other social media sites during the past 24 hours, just following engagement rumors earlier this week.

    Now we’ll have to wait and see if that ‘baby bump’ and that ‘high-profile wine-voidance’ are the key clues that ultimately lead to the Best Famous Baby News of the year.

    EXCLUSIVE: Taylor Swift is seen Jogging In Travis Kelce’s $6m Kansas City mansion with her friends

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will move in together for good if their ‘practice run’ at his $6 million Kansas City mansion goes well, according to insiders, who claim the loved up ‘soulmates’ have discussed a family.

    A moving truck was spotted outside the NFL star’s new pad on Tuesday – just one day after Taylor, 33, wrapped the South American leg of her Eras tour with a sold out concert in Brazil – with furniture and other items pictured being carried inside.

    The couple, who started dating in September, are said to be ‘obsessed’ with each other, with the pair flying to and from his games and her concerts to spend time together.

    ‘While Taylor is not officially moving in with Travis, her friends and family believe she isn’t exactly moving out either,’ a source close to the Blank Space singer told DailyMail.com exclusively.

    ‘Everyone truly believes that Taylor and Travis are soulmates. Taylor also believes this, as does Travis.

    ‘They are both absolutely obsessed with each other and yes, very much in love. They want the same things in life – a future and possibly a family. If things continue going the way they are going they will continue to cohabitate because that is what couples in love do. This is kind of like a practice run in a sense.’

    The legendary musician and the Kansas City Chiefs tight-end, 34, are reportedly looking to spend the holidays together and have no plans to put any distance between them – except when their careers require it.

    ‘If things continue going the way they are going they will continue to cohabitate because that is what couples in love do. Couples live together,’ the source continued.

    ‘For Taylor, it is about where her heart is – and right now her heart is in his home in Kansas City with the man that she loves.’

    Taylor’s property portfolio, which includes houses in New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Los Angeles is believed to be worth around $80 million.

    But despite an apparent desire to shack up with her new man, the Love Story singer isn’t planning to sell any off.

    ‘These houses are not being sold and she is not getting rid of any of her stuff, nor is she putting it all into boxes and loading it in to Travis’s attic,’ the source added.

    As a van unloaded furniture at Travis’s luxury 17,000 sq. ft. property, him and Taylor were seen arriving separately to the newly-built $8 million mansion owned by Travis’ teammate Patrick Mahomes, 28, and his wife Brittany, 28.

    The two couples spent several hours together at the Mahomes’ mega-mansion – which features a full-length football field with his name in the end zone and his logo on the 20 yard line.

    They were then spotted arriving back at Travis’s newly built six-bedroom, six-bathroom home, which was said to have been built with Taylor in mind.

    Taylor doesn’t return to the stage until February 7, when she takes her tour to Japan.

    In the meantime, the loved up duo have plenty of time to spend playing house.

    ‘Up until now it has been time snatched as they both have had such busy schedules,’ a source previously revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com.

    Taylor has watched him play in the NFL four times, he flew 5,400 miles to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to see her in concert, and they appeared on Saturday Night Live together.

    ‘Obviously those aren’t the things that a regular new couple would do in their first months together,’ the source continued.

    ‘But now Taylor and Travis can try to be as normal as their lives allow them to be.

    ‘They finally have the time and opportunity to spend some for real quality time together.’

    Back in July, Travis talked about attending one of her concerts on his New Heights podcast and reflected on his failed attempt to give Taylor his number.

    However, it appears their romance was meant to be, with the sports star stating: ‘There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: “Yo! Did you know he was coming?” I had somebody playing Cupid.’

    Taylor soon reached out to Travis, and the Chiefs star expressed: ‘She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.’

    The pair’s budding romance first came to light when Taylor was seen attending the Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears in late September.

    Travis recently opened up about their highly publicized union, telling the Wall Street Journal: ‘Everybody around me telling me “Don’t f**k this up!”… Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them.

    ‘I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.’

    He continued: ‘The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life.

    ‘When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.’

    The two have met each other’s entire families and were set to spend Thanksgiving together before the unthinkable tragedy struck Taylor on tour on November 17 when fan Ana Clara Benevides, 23, collapsed and died in the oppressive heat at her show in Rio de Janeiros.

    Ana’s death shattered Taylor. ‘I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this,’ she posted on her Instagram Story. ‘She was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.’

    Taylor invited five members of the young fan’s family to her final show last Sunday where they watched her perform from a VIP tent.
