Travis Kelce wishes that Jason was playing in Super Bowl
The last time the Eagles and Chiefs faced off in the Super Bowl, the Kelce brothers were on opposite sides of the field. Now Jason’s retired from the Eagles, while Travis seeks his fourth Super Bowl ring. Travis wishes that Jason was still on the opposing sideline.
“Of course I wish Jason was out there,” Kelce said. “Being at the mountaintop with your brother is something special that I’ll never forget. Obviously it’s being so close to him retiring, I wish he would’ve played another year.
“He’s very content where he is in life right now. I’m happy as hell for him. He gets to be around his family and his baby girls a little bit more. I’ll go out there and try to represent the family the best I can.”
Travis Kelce wasn’t escaping opening night without some questions about Taylor Swift. He got one about her cooking. Apparently Swift is a talented baker.
“Her pop tarts are unbelievable, man,” Kelce said. “Homemade pop tarts. Unbelievable.”
Patrick Mahomes weighs in on Luka Dončić trade
Mavericks fan Patrick Mahomes took a diplomatic approach to the Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade.
“As a Dallas fan, it hurts me,” Mahomes said. “But I’m happy for him that he’s gonna be able to go out there and be in L.A. and get to try to achieve his dream of winning a championship.
“He did so much not only for the basketball team but for the city of Dallas. I’ll always be appreciative of those years. But I’m excited for the Mavericks moving forward and the guys that they’ve brought in.”

Guillermo is bringing the hard-hitting questions to the Super Bowl once again 🤣
Roger Goodell, NFL not backing away from DEI
The NFL’s dedicated push to add diversity in all levels of America’s most popular sport will continue.
That was the message delivered by commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday during his annual state of the league address to kick off Super Bowl week — declining to follow in the footsteps of some major U.S. corporations stripping away diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from their business models.
“We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League,” Goodell said on Monday. “And we’re going to continue towards that, because we’ve not only convinced ourselves, I think we’ve proven ourselves that it does make the NFL better.”

Cooper Kupp trade incoming
Cooper Kupp’s time with the Los Angeles Rams is apparently over.
The longtime wide receiver shared on social media on Monday night that the team was looking to trade him. What such a trade would look like, or when it would come down, remains to be seen.
I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the issue, partially, in a news conference Monday in New Orleans.
