Travis Kelce has once again predicted his brother Jason will play on in the NFL, in another sign that the Philadelphia Eagles man isn’t done with football just yet.

Jason, 36, reportedly told the Philadelphia locker room he was done when they went out of the playoffs to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January – a miserable end to a season that one stage, promised so much with a 10-1 record in late November.

But the center has yet to officially confirm he is stepping away for good and has repeatedly hinted he might be changing his mind- including in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.Com.

Chiefs star Travis fielded media questions for around an hour on Monday night in Vegas ahead of the Super Bowl and was inevitably asked if he thought his brother would keep playing.

‘I think so. I don’t know. I’m not a betting man, but I think he’s got some football left in him,’ Travis said. before being asked what the odds are. ‘I don’t know. I’m gonna leave that up to him.’

Travis Kelce has again hinted he thinks brother Jason is going to keep on playing in the NFL

Eagles star Jason reportedly told his team he is done last month but now appears to be unsure

Speaking exclusively to the Mail after Travis and Kansas City beat the Ravens to reach the Super Bowl, Jason said: ‘Whenever you’re around this atmosphere, man, it’s really hard to not want to continue doing this.

‘The game continues to be difficult to play – selfishly, physically. It’s a grueling sport and it has its problems with trying to play it the older you get… (but) it’s hard. It’s really hard. I’ll be honest with you.’

This time last year, the Kelce brothers were preparing to play against each other in the Super Bowl – with the Chiefs emerging victorious in Arizona.

And Jason will be there in the stands at Allegiant Stadium to cheer his brother on to what would be a second straight Super Bowl triumph and the third of his career. The two brothers are extremely close – Travis wears the No 87 shirt for the Chiefs because it is the year that Jason was born.

He is likely going to join his brother’s girlfriend Taylor Swift in a suite for football’s biggest game.

She is expected to race back from Tokyo, Japan to cheer him on after her four scheduled Eras shows this week, starting Wednesday.

But Travis joked he is unsure if his older brother will recreate his iconic shirtless celebrations from when he scored a touchdown against the Bills in January.

‘That’s just who he is, he enjoys the game of football. The desire and the love that we’ve had for the game since we were kids just oozes out of us and we can’t help that,’ he said.

‘And sure enough with an unbelievable fan base like Buffalo and going up there, it was a fun experience.

‘But I don’t know if the Vegas crowd is going to make him want to take his shirt off though!’

If Jason is to postpone his retirement, he will likely lift the curtain on next season in Brazil, with the NFL announcing that the Eagles will play their first game of the new season in South America in 2024.

Donna Kelce has revealed what she said to son Travis when she met him on the pitch after the Kansas City Chiefs’ win that secured their Super Bowl spot.

The Chiefs were underdogs going into the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens but caused a huge upset by winning 17-10 in Maryland.

Kelce was a huge reason for that after a dominant performance that saw him score a touchdown and put up 11 receptions for 116 yards.

Donna was in the stands watching with Travis’ brother Jason Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift but made her way down to the field with other family members to celebrate with the players.

She immediately made a beeline for her son and embraced him before commenting on his impressive performance.

Speaking to People, Donna said: ‘I just looked at him and I said, “You were possessed.”‘

‘It was just the most amazing feats I’ve ever seen him accomplish. He was on a mission… a mission to make sure that they won this game.’

Donna was also full of praise for Kelce’s teammates after they produced a ruthless performance.

Taylor Swift and Donna are regularly seen at Travis’ games together now

‘Everything just fit into place. It all worked well and I was amazed at how they could all come together like that,’ she added.

‘It’s so difficult to get there and to be able to get there two times in a row, this was very special.’

Donna’s suites have become slightly more crowded this season because of Swift’s presence at her boyfriend’s games.

The pop sensation has watched Kelce play 12 times now and will make it 13 at the Super Bowl this weekend.

Speaking about the atmosphere in the luxury box on game days, Donna said that the ‘camaraderie’ and ‘making sure that you’re enjoying the time you’re there’ are most important.

This weekend’s suite will be particularly ecstatic if Kelce can deliver back-to-back Super Bowls. It will be busy again as Jason and Swift join other relatives and loved ones at the game.

On Sunday, Jason admitted he’s excited to see the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers battle for the Vince Lombardi trophy.

‘It’s a little bit different obviously, with my brother playing. I just love being a fan of the game and watching great football,’ he said.

‘They are two of the pinnacles that the NFL has to offer. Both of these teams have been at the top of their conferences for the last five to six years on both sides and they’ve played each other in this game before.

‘It’s going to be an awesome game to watch. I can’t wait to watch it.

‘But yeah, whenever you’re watching a loved one compete there’s a very prideful feeling that you have that’s very different to competing for yourself or watching regularly.

‘Obviously my brother and I love each other very much. We’re cherishing these moments because we know eventually they’ll be gone and I’m looking forward to being down there and cheering him on.’

Las Vegas is not short on glitz and glamour. That includes the practice ground for the city’s NFL franchise, the Raiders, who have a $183 million, state-of-the-art facility dedicated to all things football in nearby Henderson. 

The Chiefs will be inhabiting the Raiders’ training facility this week to prepare for Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Raiders home away from Allegiant Stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played, contains three full-size outdoor fields, one full indoor field, and a world-class weight room.

If that was not enough, the Intermountain Health Performance Center has a sand pit for resistance work, a grassy hill for agility work, a full-service cafeteria, and several pools for training and relaxation.

Kansas City arrived in Las Vegas for the big game on Sunday night. The Chiefs have the luxury of playing in their fourth Super Bowl in five seasons, but this is the first time the game will be held in Las Vegas.

Now, the permanent home of the Raiders will turn into the temporary home of Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and co. ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

The Chiefs are 4-0 against the Raiders in Las Vegas, meaning the team has never lost in Sin City. The 49ers won their only previous game in Las Vegas against the Raiders last year.

The Raiders facility was opened in 2021 after one season for the franchise in Sin City.

After moving from Oakland in February 2020, the Raiders had the facility open without restrictions for the beginning of the 2021 season following the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

During the team’s first season with the facility open, the Raiders made the playoffs, losing in the Wild Card Round to the eventual-Super Bowl runners-up, the Cincinnati Bengals.

Las Vegas struggled in 2022, but looked to turn a corner at the end of the 2023 season after firing head coach Josh McDaniels and handing the team over to then-interim coach Antonio Pierce.

Pierce was given the full-time job after going 5-4 in the Raiders last nine games.

The Intermountain Health Performance Center is located 10 miles south of Allegiant Stadium.

When entering the facility, players and other team personnel will see a quote from former team owner Al Davis as part of a sculpture in his honor.

‘The fire that burns the brightest in the Raiders organization is the will to win,’ the inscription reads.

The standard massive team meeting room is part of Intermountain Health Performance Center as well, alongside up-to-date locker rooms.

The 49ers will practice at UNLV’s facilities, which could be seen as a massive downgrade from a world-class NFL training ground.

Travis Kelce first gained national fame as Patrick Mahomes’ favorite target for the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs. Then he buoyed his notoriety by producing a popular podcast alongside his brother, Jason. And in case you haven’t heard, he has since launched himself into the stratosphere this season by dating Taylor Swift.

To the uninitiated (non-football fans, those who see the Swift-Kelce relationship as a government psyop, etc.), it could be easy to credit his fame and success to others: His championship-caliber teammates, his affable NFL star brother, or the world’s most recognizable pop star.

Even Kelce has pointed to Chiefs coach Andy Reid to explain his uncanny ability to get open — something a 34-year-old such as himself shouldn’t be doing with such ease.

But to listen to Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce’s fellow Chiefs, the All-Pro tight end is much more than Robin to someone else’s Batman. He’s a selfless, hard-working talent, who possesses a deep, nuanced understanding of the game and, most importantly, opposing defenses.

‘He’s got great feel,’ Reid told DailyMail.com at the Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night ahead of Sunday’s game with the San Francisco 49ers. ‘He knows defenses. He’s got great vision.’

Reid says Kelce has ‘great feel’ and ‘relationship with quarterback’

Much like Reid, Kelce is credited with an in-depth understanding of what opposing defenses are trying to do.

So if there’s a seam in a secondary’s zone coverage or an opening created by a blitzing linebacker, Kelce has the freedom to break off his route and head for daylight.

‘He understands the offense,’ Kelce’s backup, Noah Gray, told DailyMail.com. ‘He understands defenses. It’s a combination of his talent, how smart he is, how hard he works.’

And since he seemingly shares a brain with Mahomes, the mishaps have been kept to a minimum.

‘He has a great relationship with the quarterback,’ Reid said. ‘They just kind of have that feel for each other. And that’s special that I’m able to be a part of that.’

Kelce’s numbers already rank among the greats at his position.

He’s fourth in receptions (907) and receiving yards (11,328) at the position, trailing only Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez (1,325 catches/15,127 yards), as well as fellow retirees Jason Witten (1,228/13,046) and Antonio Gates (955/11,841).

Of course, that trio failed to win a single Super Bowl among them, while Kelce has a pair to his name.

And speaking of the postseason, with 11 catches in the AFC Championship win over Baltimore, Kelce surpassed Hall of Fame 49ers wideout Jerry Rice as the all-time leader in playoff receptions (156). What’s more, he did so while primarily being defended by All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton, considered one of the game’s best.

Patrick Mahomes says Kelce’s relationship hasn’t distracted him from football in the least

Obviously Kelce has benefitted from not one, but two Pro Bowl quarterbacks in Mahomes and his predecessor, Alex Smith. But Mahomes credits Kelce as an extraordinary teammate, and not simply the beneficiary of those around him.

Mahomes is also quick to dismiss any suggestion that Kelce has somehow lost focus amid his relationship with Swift.

‘He wants to follow his dreams outside the building,’ Mahomes said Monday night. ‘Obviously he’s in a great relationship now [with Swift] and he embraces that, but when he gets in the building, it’s all about football. It’s all about the brotherhood that we’ve built.

‘And he has that same mindset. He’s a leader. He leads by example. He comes in the building and works his tail off. And when you see a guy who’s a Hall of Famer, and he’s the hardest-working guy in the building, it inspires everybody else. And that’s what I’ve always respect more about Travis than anything.’

And Kelce isn’t just schmoozing with the team’s biggest stars. According to his backup, Gray, the 34-year-old known as Big Yeti is just as affectionate with everyone on the roster.

‘Kelce is the same old dude that loves his teammate and loves the people that care about him,’ concluded Gray, ‘And I don’t think that will ever change.’

Travis Kelce has refused to confirm whether or not girlfriend Taylor Swift will have a spot to park her private jet at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Swift is jetting across the globe in order to be at Allegiant Stadium for kickoff on Sunday when Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers.

The popstar finishes the Japanese leg of her Eras Tour in Tokyo on February 10 and faces a frantic rush to get back to the USA for the game on February 11.

But, as well as the shortage of time, she may also have a problem finding somewhere to leave her plane for the weekend in Las Vegas.

DailyMail.com reported last week that Sin City had completely sold out of private jet parking spots for Super Bowl weekend, leaving many of the rich and famous scrambling to find alternatives.

Michael Giordano, a partner at Cirrus Aviation Services in Las Vegas, told The New York post that the NFL will provide Swift with a space to land although parking spots are increasingly hard to come by.

‘Taylor Swift will definitely have a spot through the NFL to land, but not necessarily a place to park,’ Giordano said.

However, Kelce refused to say definitively whether or not Swift had definitely been granted one.

Asked on Monday night, Kelce replied: ‘I’ll have to ask.’

Spaces at Harry Reid Airport in the city and its two nearest executive jet strips, North Las Vegas and Henderson, for private jet parking have already been all snatched up, according to the New York Post.

Meanwhile, slots for Sunday night takeoffs for those fans looking to make a rapid getaway have also reportedly already gone.

The congestion at the three strips, which has been fueled not only by the NFL’s biggest game but also by LIV Golf holding its inaugural Las Vegas tournament this week, has San Francisco tech billionaires and New York’s hedge fund owners panicking.

A private jet insider told The Post that he knew of a New York-based hedge fund owner who had tickets for the Super Bowl but has decided to stay in the Big Apple to watch the game due to the travel chaos.

‘They couldn’t find a slot and getting out on Sunday night felt risky,’ he said. ‘It’s not worth going if you can’t get home when you want to. They decided to leave the jet be and watch the game in New York.’

Meanwhile, Silicon Valley’s tech gurus have also been left scrambling after failing to plan ahead before the San Francisco 49ers’ win in last month’s NFC Championship game.

‘Those tech guys think they know everything and they don’t listen,’ added Giordano, who revealed he has told clients that money isn’t the issue, he physically can’t fit them in.

‘I’ve turned down about $500,000 in trip requests as there are no more aircraft and no more slots.’

Swift faces a major rush to get from Tokyo in Japan to Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend play

Even if the one percenters manage to secure a private jet slot, they’ll reportedly have to face extra fees.

Signature Flight Support and Atlantic Aviation, Vegas’s two main operators for private jets, plus Henderson Executive Airport, are said to have tacked on special event fees, looking to profit off the tight situation.

Kelce was also asked whether or not having his famous girlfriend in attendance at his games puts more pressure on him to deliver.

The 34-year-old responded: ‘You can’t put on any more pressure than I put on myself. I promise you that. It’s just the heart of a competitor.

‘She has definitely brought a lot of new faces to the game and it’s been fun to experience that.

‘She seems to be enjoying the games. She’s a part of Chiefs kingdom right now and it’s fun to see her enjoying the game of football.’

Patrick Mahomes has reflected on the first time he met Travis Kelce, admitting he knew from ‘day one’ that his teammate was ‘a good dude’.

There may be a six-year age gap between them but Mahomes and Kelce are great friends off the pitch and their partners – Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes – are also close.

On the pitch, they have established themselves as one of the NFL’s most dangerous offensive threats with the pair regularly combining for the Chiefs.

Mahomes was taken with the 10th pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft but Kelce had already been in Kansas City for four years before that.

They have won two Vince Lombardi trophies together and will compete in a fourth Super Bowl on Sunday when the Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.

Recalling their first meeting, Mahomes said: ‘I knew of him obviously, because he was such a great football player even before I got [to the Chiefs].

‘I think my biggest impression was, “that’s a tall guy”, because I’d never seen a guy that tall man be able to move like that.

‘But just a good dude, man, I think I knew that from day one.’

Kelce took Mahomes and his wife Brittany to watch the Kansas City Royals baseball team during his first week in the city.

‘We were sitting up front, we were having a great time and that’s kind of built part of the relationship that we have today,’ Mahomes added.

The 28-year-old quarterback will try to lead the Chiefs to their second straight title and third in five seasons when they play the 49ers on Sunday.

This is Kansas City’s fourth Super Bowl appearance over that span; the Chiefs lost to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the 2020 season.

Mahomes will no doubt be supported by wife Brittany on Sunday night and it’s possible she’ll sit close to Swift, who is due to fly in from Japan to watch Kelce in action.

Being attached to the 14-time Grammy Award winner has opened the floodgates for questions about the pop singer to be asked to Kelce’s teammates.

When asked what his favorite song by Swift is, Mahomed replied: ‘That “Anti-Hero” song, that one is pretty sweet. So I would say that. I do love “Love Story”. It gets me every single time.’

Mahomes also said Monday night his father was ‘doing good’ after his arrest for driving while intoxicated, but otherwise was tight-lipped about the situation.

‘It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,’ Mahomes said at Super Bowl opening night. ‘That’s all I have to say.’

Travis Kelce admitted Monday evening he has not spoken with girlfriend Taylor Swift since Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.  

The Kansas City Chiefs plane landed in Las Vegas to start preparing for Super Bowl LVIII as Swift won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, said Kelce.

The tight end saw the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer win her first hardware of the night as he regained phone service. Yet, Kelce said he has not spoken with Swift since the Grammys because she needed to get on a plane, likely to Tokyo for the Japanese leg of ‘The Eras Tour’.

Kelce’s time at Super Bowl LVIII Media Night contained several questions about Swift come his way, including her impact on him and the NFL.

‘You can’t put any more pressure than I put on myself, I promise you that,’ Kelce said Monday. ‘It’s just the heart of a competitor. [Swift] has definitely brought a lot of new faces to the game and its been fun to experience that.’

Kelce did not answer whether Swift would be in attendance at Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium or whether she has a private plane to make the game.

‘She seems to be enjoying the games,’ Kelce said. ‘She’s a part of Chiefs Kingdom right now. It’s fun to see her enjoy the game of football knowing that it’s kind of new to her life.

Swift won two Grammy Awards on Sunday, including her record-breaking fourth ‘Album of the Year’ award, bringing her lifetime total to 14 Grammys.

Swift announced a new album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, during her first acceptance speech of the evening, which Kelce said he has heard part of.

Swift has attended 12 Chiefs games this season, including all three Chiefs postseason wins.

During the Chiefs’ AFC Championship celebration after the win over the Ravens, Kelce and Swift were seen kissing, and possibly saying ‘I love you’ to one another, on the M&T Bank Stadium field.

NBA star Dwight Howard is the first big name sports star to officially come out, Media Take Out has learned. And he did so this week, in legal paperwork filed in response to a lawsuit.

In an explosive response to a lawsuit where a gay man accused NBA legend Dwight Howard of assault, Media Take Out confirmed that Dwight admitted in legal documents that he met his accuser Stephen Harper on social media in May 2021.

Stephen claims in the lawsuit that he was s****lly assaulted by Dwight so brutally that his bussy was torn to pieces by the 7 foot tall NBA player.

Radar Online was the first to break this story.

Dwight denies assaulting Stephen but he admits to a WHOLE LOT. In his response, he admits having a thr**some with Harper and a person with male body parts named Kitty, who dressed as a woman.

In Stephen Harper’s lawsuit, he claims that he reached out to Dwight via direct message on Instagram. Stephen says Dwight responded and told him he was into “freaky” stuff and that he asked for Harper to send him explicit photos.

Dwight admitted, in his response to the lawsuit, that he did exchange texts with Harper between May 2021 to July 2021, “several of which included s**ually explicit content, such as photographs and videos.”

WHAAAATTT!!

The ex-NBA star also admitted in the legal documents that Harper came over to his home on July 19, 2021. Howard admitted they went to his bedroom, removed their clothing, and “engaged in consensual kissing.”

WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!

In his lawsuit, Harper claimed Howard surprised him by bringing out trans-person, who called himself “Kitty.”

In his complaint, Harper said Dwight wanted a thr**some with Kitty, but he resisted. That’s when, according to Harper, he was assaulted.

Dwight Howard responded, saying first that he was NOT surprised by Kitty being in the bedroom. He said “Plaintiff was aware that [Kitty] would also be arriving at the home prior to Plaintiff even arriving at Defendant’s home.”

And according to Dwight, they all had a consensual three**some.

“The three agreed to touch one another and to engage in consensual sexual activity,” Howard’s lawyer wrote.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!

We’re utterly speechless.
