KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — Travis Kelce seems to be a man of his word. After weeks of rumors that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is dating music superstar Taylor Swift, Kelce offered the singer an invite to watch him play. She seems to have followed up on the invite. Swift was seen in a box suite at Arrowhead Stadium standing next to Travis's mother, Donna Kelce, ahead of the Chiefs' game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The dating rumors between the two have been swirling for a few weeks. Travis Kelce addresses Taylor Swift rumors, says he invited her to Chiefs game Travis Kelce discussed the rumors on his podcast, "New Heights," with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. “I threw the ball in her court and told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit,’” he said.

Gophers pick up pieces after allowing biggest comeback in P.J. Fleck era

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:46:25 GMT

P.J. Fleck lightly crumpled up a stat sheet and gently tossed it in a gray trash can inside Ryan Field after the Gophers’ colossal cave-in at Northwestern on Saturday.A spike into the bin might have been more fitting after the 37-34 overtime loss.That same box score flattened out didn’t reveal the true depths of the defeat. Fleck had built a 40-2 record when leading after three quarters, but on Saturday his team allowed a third loss in what became the largest fourth-quarter comeback of his U career. And it came against a Wildcats team projected to finish last in the Big Ten West.The Gophers had given up a 17-point lead to Maryland in the awkward pandemic year of 2020, and Fleck’s flawed first team in 2017 gave up a one-point lead on the road at Purdue. That was the precedent.This enters a new subcategory.Minnesota needed this September victory before it hits the truly daunting part of its schedule — Northwestern was supposed to be a win, especially amid a recent downturn seemingly e...

John Shipley: What if? Who cares? The Vikings are 0-3

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:46:25 GMT

Well, here’s a first.Usually after a tough loss, a football player or coach asked about some sort of failure that led to the team’s defeat — as in, why or how did that happen? — answers with, “I don’t know, I’ll have to look at the film.”After the Vikings’ fairly brutal 28-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, dropping Minnesota to 0-3 this season, receiver K.J. Osborne was asked if there were, nonetheless, positives Minnesota can build on.“I’d have to go back and look at the tape,” he said. “Everything didn’t go bad.”In the aftermath, Vikings players were asked a lot of questions about how close they came to making some big plays, and whether that was encouraging for a team facing the closest thing to a death sentence in the NFL. Yes, there are 14 games left, but since the league expanded in 1979, only five NFL teams have recovered to make the playoffs after starting 0-3 in a non-strike year.The Vikings didn’t do a whole lot Sunday to suggest they will...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:46:25 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Juan Soto hit a 461-foot homer and had four RBIs for the San Diego Padres, who were pushed closer to elimination from the playoff picture even as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals 12-2 in their home finale Sunday.Right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob pinch-hitter Michael Siani of a home run in the sixth. Tatis did a little dance and acknowledged the crowd's ovation. Tatis began his career as a shortstop but took over in right after he returned April 20 from an 80-game PED suspension. He missed all of last year with injuries and the suspension.Jose Azocar also homered for the Padres, who had nine extra-base hits in winning for the ninth time in 10 games. Their best stretch of the season is likely coming too late to avoid an embarrassing pratfall.The Padres came into this season with World Series aspirations after reaching the NL Championship Series last fall but have been a major disappointment. They've been under .500 since May 12 ...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — By the end, the beatdown got so bad Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel didn’t know what to do.He tried to run the clock out, but the Broncos simply couldn’t or wouldn’t tackle his running backs.He had long since put his backups in the game, but they ran roughshod over Sean Payton’s team, too.Finally, McDaniel had to order his team to sit on the ball to save the Broncos, the franchise he said this week caused him to fall in love with football way back when he was a kid in Aurora, one final, historic indignity.The Broncos did not give up an all-time, single-game record number of points to the Dolphins on Sunday.
