The Boston Celtics worst nightmare might be unfolding in the NBA’s Eastern Conference

The Boston Celtics worst nightmare might be unfolding in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. The Celtics took full advantage of the chaos created by the heady moves made by the Milwaukee Bucks front office in pursuit of another title under star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo the offseason before last, winning Banner 18 in the process while the Bucks flailed about, trying to find their new way of playing.

A new head coach fired and another (former Boston) head coach hired later, and the deal that brought Damian Lillard to the Bucks from the Portland Trail Blazers is starting to click. The last thing the Celtics would want to deal with is a return of Milwaukee in the East.

So is that what’s going on? Or has their recent boost in place been more of a temporary swing? The hosts of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Taylor Swift’s Epic Net Worth Just Made Her the Wealthiest Female Musician Ever

Since the day Taylor Swift released her first single “Tim McGraw” in 2006, the singer/songwriter has mustered up a downright cult following. Her nearly two-decade career has brought masses from all over the world to her concerts, cementing her status as among the most famous (maybe she’s the most famous?), well-liked pop singers ever. And thanks to her wildly successful, record-breaking Eras Tour, as of October 2024, she also became the wealthiest female musician ever.

From Swift’s enormously successful music to her tour earnings and real estate portfolio, here’s everything you need to know about the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer’s ginormous net worth.

What Is Taylor Swift’s Net Worth?

As of December 2024, Swift has an astonishing net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes. While she hit billionaire status during the first leg of her Eras Tour in 2023, her net worth has only continued to grow. Her fortune comes from her wildly successful tours, extensive music output, brand deals, and hefty real estate portfolio, among other dizzying revenue streams.

Taylor Swift’s Record-Breaking Career Timeline

Though Swift started out as a small-town singer performing at local coffee shops and state fairs, she always knew she wanted to be a pop star. When she was just nine years old, she started taking vocal and acting lessons in New York City, where she learned she wanted to focus on country music.

At 11, her mom Andrea took her to Nashville to visit record labels and submit demo tapes of her covers of famous female country stars’ tunes. While she received rejections from all the labels at first, according to her mom, she was determined from the very start—the barrage of “no” and rejections only fueled her desire to do better and stand out from the rest.

“She came back from that trip to Nashville and realized she needed to be different, and part of that would be to learn the guitar,” her mom told Entertainment Weekly.  “Now, at 12, she saw a 12-string guitar and thought it was the coolest thing. And of course, we immediately said, ‘Oh no, absolutely not, your fingers are too small—not till you’re much older will you be able to play the 12-string guitar.’ Well, that was all it took. Don’t ever say never or can’t do to Taylor. She started playing it four hours a day—six on the weekends. She would get calluses on her fingers and they would crack and bleed, and we would tape them up and she’d just keep on playing.”

In 2003, when Swift was around 13 years old, she began working with the talent manager Dan Dymtrow, who got her a job modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch. That same year she performed multiple original songs at an RCA Records showcase before her family moved to Nashville so she could further her career.

When she moved to Nashville, she started working with some local singer/songwriters before ultimately signing with Big Machine Records, an independent record label started by Scott Borchetta.

Just a year after signing with the record label, Swift released her first studio album, Taylor Swift, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 157 weeks. She put out four hit singles in “Teardrops on My Guitar,” “Our Song,” “Picture to Burn,” and “Should’ve Said No.”

In 2008, Swift released her second studio album, Fearless, which spent 11 weeks at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The album’s songs “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me” quickly became chart toppers and could be heard on almost every country and pop radio station in the country. Over the next two years, the singer released three other top singles—”White Horse,” “Fifteen,” and “Fearless.” A year after her second album was released, she headed out on her first tour.

From 2010 to 2014, Swift released two more albums: Speak Now and Red, a genre-spanning album that also opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Red’s lead single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” was Swift’s first No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Though her younger years as a country artist helped kickstart her enormous net worth, it wasn’t until she moved into full-on pop that she really made it into the industry’s highest echelon. On October 27, 2014, she released 1989, her first “official pop album,” in her words.

“This album was made completely and solely on my terms, with no one else’s opinion factoring in, no one else’s agenda factoring in,” she told Billboard in 2014. “I didn’t feel that I was having to think too hard about the musical direction. In the past, I’ve always tried to make sure that I was maintaining a stronghold on two different genres, and this time I just had to think about one, which was creatively a relief. It was nice to be honest about what I was making.”

After the release of the blockbuster album, she went on The 1989 World Tour, which was the highest-grossing tour of the year, bringing in $250 million in total.

From 2014 to 2017, Swift continued to write music and coproduce with other artists like Calvin Harris, former One Direction artist Zayn Malik, and country band Little Big Town. In 2018, she began her Reputation Stadium Tour, which became the highest-earning North American concert tour in history. This tour, lasting six months, grossed more than $340 million.

In 2019, she released Lover, which became the best-selling album in the U.S. at the time. Later in the year, after a lengthy and very public debate with talent manager Scooter Braun (then working with Justin Bieber) following his acquisition of her recording catalogue, Swift began recording her old albums anew, as the original master recordings had been sold. A year later, she released two sister albums amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Folklore and Evermore, which despite a more laid-back sound, became fast favorites of her fans.

Not to let music hold back her other ambitions, Swift is known for a vast real estate portfolio, which has included homes in Rhode Island, New York City, Nashville, and L.A. You’ve also undoubtedly spotted some of her brand deals, like those omnipresent Capital One ads, and probably some tour merch worn by her Swifties, too.

On the music front, since 2021, Swift has continued to release new versions of her six original studio albums (she’s currently signed to Republic Records). In 2022, she released the all-new Midnights, her fifth to open atop the Billboard 200. One year later, she embarked on the Eras Tour, which covered both the newer songs and redone versions of her previous studio albums. The tour lasted 632 days with 149 shows in over 50 cities across 5 different continents. Due to its length and popularity, the record-breaking tour became the highest-grossing tour in history, earning more than $2 billion.

“We have toured the entire world with this tour, we have had so many adventures,” Swift said at the sold-out show at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia. “It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”

Happy Birthday, Elvis! Lisa Marie Presley, fans celebrate the King at Graceland

Family, friends and fans of Elvis Presley gathered at Graceland on Sunday morning to mark what would have been the rock icon’s 88th birthday.

Led by Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, the annual event featured an Elvis Presley Birthday Proclamation from the City of Memphis and Shelby County, as well as a ceremonial cake cutting.

The event drew an unusually large gathering of Presley diehards — a number clearly boosted by the success of the 2022 Baz Luhrmann biopic “Elvis” — to the front lawn of Graceland for the 30-minute ceremony.

Elvis Presley Enterprises CEO Jack Soden welcomed the group. “I can speak with some authority having been here every year for a lot of years,” he said. “This is unquestionably the largest crowd we’ve ever had. You all come from all over the world … and we love you for being here.”

Following brief appearances by Alton Mason, who played Little Richard in the Luhrmann film, and Presley’s longtime TCB band pianist Glen D. Hardin, Elvis Presley Enterprises managing partner Joel Weinshanker spoke.

Weinshanker noted that one of Presley’s career ambitions “was to be in an amazing movie, with an amazing director, and be part of an amazing film. And I think we did that for him this year.”

He added that Graceland was “probably the most famous house in the world, and there is only one person whose house it is,” he said, introducing Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

Lisa Marie Presley, wearing a long black coat and sunglasses, was greeted with huge cheers from the crowd. “Thank you. It’s been a while. I missed you. I keep saying you’re the only people that can bring me out of my house. I’m not kidding,” she said, to cries of “We love you, Lisa Marie!”

“I love you back and that’s why I’m here. Today, [Elvis] would’ve been 88 years old, it’s hard to believe. I think that he’d be proud. This year has been an incredible year. The movie is incredible, I’m very proud of it, and I hope you are too,” Lisa Marie Presley said. “But it’s just so moving how every year you come from all over the world. It’s moving to me and my family… so thank you.”

Lisa Marie Presley and Elvis Presley Enterprises officials then unveiled an “Aloha from Hawaii”-themed cake — the famed 1973 satellite concert event that marks its 50th anniversary — as the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to close the proceedings.

Celebrations of Presley’s birthday continued on Sunday, with Graceland officially opening the doors to “The Making of ELVIS” exhibition, a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Luhrmann’s film, which packs props, drawings, annotated scripts, 18 character costumes and other items into a 3,000-square-foot space. The exhibit is currently slated to be on display through Labor Day.

“Patrick Mahomes will be missed by all”…”How he planned on lifting another Superbowl”…See the early callers at the home of the late Quarterback…

The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for a road trip to Cleveland in Week 15, set to face the 3-10 Cleveland Browns.

Before their matchup against the AFC foe, the NFL made an announcement regarding the Chiefs’ recent victory against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Kansas City hosted the Chargers on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 14, defeating the AFC West divisional rival, 19-17.

During the team’s victory over the Chargers, Kansas City running back Isiah Pacheco got away with a penalty, which was later reviewed by the league office.

 

In the second quarter of the game, Pacheco received a check-down pass from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. When attempting to gain yardage on first down, Pacheco put his head down and forcibly hit the defender with helmet-to-helmet contact.

While there was no flag on the play in real time, Pacheco was later dealt a $45,020 fine from the NFL’s league office.

Despite the fine for Pacheco, the Chiefs have been thriving as of late. They’re headed into Week 15 with a 12-1 record, riding a three-game win streak as the No. 1 team in the AFC standings.

The Chiefs enter a game against the Browns as a 4.5-point favorite, per ESPN BET. ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Kansas City a 60% chance to defeat the Browns on Sunday.

That game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on CBS Sports.

While Pacheco has continued to ease his way back into the lineup, after returning from injured reserve, he’s helped the ground game flourish in Kansas City.

Pacheco returned from a fractured fibula, which he suffered in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In four games this season, Pacheco has recorded one touchdown and 234 yards on 55 carries. He’s also added three touchdowns and 65 yards on 10 receptions.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have completely opposite reactions to this unexpected surprise after the game..

Mahomes and Kelce, like oil and water when faced with this unexpected situation

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to show their dominance in the defense of their Super Bowl title, consolidating their path to the playoffs with a resounding 29-10 Christmas victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

The three-peat dream lives on, while Travis Kelce made history with a touchdown that reinforces his legacy as one of the best tight ends in NFL history. Patrick Mahomes also shined with another stellar performance.

As Patrick and Travis were being interviewed after the game, the footballs decorating the stage in front of them hid a sweet surprise.

What really caught the eye was the complete opposite reaction from the Chiefs players. While Mahomes showed caution and preferred to avoid risks thinking about the playoffs, Kelce did not hesitate to go on the attack with enthusiasm.

Mahomes and Kelce: two opposite reactions to the same situation

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and tight end were interviewed on the field at the end of the game. In front of them, two footballs were part of the scenery, but in reality they were perfectly decorated red velvet cakes. Upon discovering it, both tried to open them, but Patrick Mahomes was quick to express his doubts: he admitted he was afraid and decided not to eat, justifying that he had to watch his weight for the playoffs. On the other hand, Travis Kelce did not think twice and took a big bite of the cake without any remorse.

This anecdote shows the contrasting personalities of these two Chiefs stars when facing the same situation: a red velvet cake.

A memorable game for Mahomes and Kelce

On the ground, Patrick Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, while Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards. Kelce made history by becoming the third tight end to reach 1,000 receptions in the NFL, joining the legendary Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. He also sealed Kansas City’s fifth consecutive victory with a 12-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter. For his part, Mahomes broke another record by catching the most touchdown passes in his first eight seasons.

Kelce, 35, celebrated the victory by throwing the ball over the goalpost, which earned him an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. In contrast, Mahomes maintained his unblemished 4-0 record against the Steelers, racking up 17 touchdowns against just one interception in those games.

With the win, the Chiefs secured the top seed in the AFC and the coveted BYE in the first round of the playoffs, guaranteeing home-field advantage until a possible Super Bowl LIX at the New Orleans Saints’ Superdome.

Jaylen Brown Drops 44 Points as Celtics Dominate Pacers 142-105 in Stunning Blowout

In a performance that left fans and analysts alike in awe, Jaylen Brown exploded for 44 points as the Boston Celtics obliterated the Indiana Pacers 142-105. The Celtics, firing on all cylinders, delivered one of their most complete games of the season, showcasing a level of offensive efficiency and defensive intensity that overwhelmed the Pacers from the start. Brown, whose scoring outburst was the centerpiece of the victory, showed just why he’s one of the league’s most dynamic and versatile players, lighting up the scoreboard with 44 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals.

Brown’s scoring performance was nothing short of spectacular, as he displayed an array of offensive moves that left Indiana’s defense helpless. Whether it was a smooth step-back jumper, a quick drive to the basket, or an explosive dunk, Brown showcased his full repertoire of skills, making it clear that he’s ready to lead the Celtics on a championship run. His 44 points were a testament to his growth as an offensive powerhouse, with Brown continuously putting pressure on the Pacers’ defense and keeping them on their heels for the entirety of the game.

While Brown was the star of the show, Jayson Tatum was once again a key contributor to the Celtics’ dominant win. Tatum added a well-rounded 22 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals, continuing to prove that he and Brown form one of the NBA’s most lethal duos. Tatum’s ability to contribute in multiple areas of the game helped balance the Celtics’ offense, as he consistently found ways to impact the game without just relying on scoring. His presence on the boards and defensive end of the floor was also crucial in limiting the Pacers’ chances to get back into the game.

The Celtics’ success wasn’t limited to their two stars. Payton Pritchard stepped up in a big way, contributing 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists in a near triple-double performance. Pritchard’s floor generalship was on full display as he orchestrated Boston’s offense with poise, delivering key assists and helping to create open shots for his teammates. His strong performance as a secondary playmaker highlighted the depth of this Celtics team, which continues to prove that they have one of the deepest rosters in the league.

On the Pacers’ side, Tyrese Haliburton was solid but not enough to keep pace with Boston’s offensive onslaught. Haliburton finished with 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists, trying his best to keep the Pacers competitive, but ultimately, Indiana had no answer for the Celtics’ explosive firepower. Alongside him, Bennedict Mathurin contributed 18 points and 6 rebounds, showing flashes of his potential but was overshadowed by the Celtics’ overwhelming performance.

From the opening tip, the Celtics set the tone with relentless defense and efficient offense. They built an early lead and never looked back, putting the Pacers in a deep hole that they couldn’t recover from. Boston shot with incredible efficiency, hitting nearly 60% of their field goals and showcasing their ability to execute on both ends of the court. The Celtics’ ball movement was exceptional, with 28 assists on 55 field goals made, reflecting their unselfish play and team-first mentality.

While the win was a team effort, the game was ultimately a statement performance from Brown. As the Celtics continue to dominate, the message is clear: when Brown is playing at this level, the team becomes even more dangerous, and Boston’s title aspirations grow stronger by the day. This win not only adds another notch to their belt but sends a message across the league—the Celtics are a force to be reckoned with.

As the season progresses, the Celtics will look to build on this dominant performance. With Brown and Tatum continuing to deliver at an elite level, the team’s championship hopes are looking brighter than ever. For now, however, it’s hard to ignore just how powerful this Celtics squad is when firing on all cylinders—especially when a superstar like Jaylen Brown goes off for 44 points.

Jaylen Brown Shatters Records as He Becomes First Player of the Season to Score Multiple 100+ Dunks

In a jaw-dropping display of athleticism and power, Jaylen Brown has etched his name into NBA history by becoming the first player this season to register multiple dunk scores over 100.

This incredible feat marks a new chapter in his already impressive career, as the Boston Celtics star continues to defy expectations and set new benchmarks for what it means to dominate the game with flair and precision. Brown’s ability to leap to the top of the basketball world is no longer just about his scoring or defense; now, it’s about his raw athleticism and his ability to electrify the crowd with high-flying dunks that leave everyone in awe.

In the fast-paced, highlight-driven world of the NBA, dunks have become more than just a way to score; they’ve become a symbol of dominance and style. Brown’s latest achievement comes at a time when the NBA has witnessed an explosion of athletic talents pushing the boundaries of what is physically possible on the court.

But what sets Brown apart is not just his ability to throw down with power—it’s the consistent excellence with which he has executed these dunks, securing multiple scores above the 100 mark. These jaw-dropping moments, celebrated not only by fans but by analysts and fellow players, speak volumes about Brown’s physical conditioning, timing, and overall basketball IQ.

As the first player to accomplish such a feat this season, Jaylen Brown has placed himself at the forefront of a new wave of NBA players redefining what is possible on the court. His ability to blend power, agility, and precision has made him one of the most exciting players to watch. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and hours of training that Brown has put in, not only in perfecting his dunking technique but in becoming a more well-rounded player.

The timing of Brown’s accomplishment is also significant. The Celtics, with Brown playing a central role alongside Jayson Tatum, are poised for another deep playoff run, and this incredible display of athleticism only adds to the growing momentum around the team. As the Celtics continue to chase an NBA championship, Jaylen Brown’s ability to deliver highlight-reel dunks will only enhance his legacy as one of the most dynamic players in the league today.

In addition to his newfound reputation as one of the league’s top dunkers, Brown’s performance speaks to his broader growth as a player. His continued improvement on both ends of the floor has earned him respect not just as an explosive scorer but as a versatile two-way threat. For Celtics fans, it’s not just about the gravity-defying dunks, but about how Brown has developed into one of the league’s best all-around players, making this season one of his most memorable yet.

As the season progresses and more highlight reels are filled with his powerful slams, there’s no telling just how far Jaylen Brown can go. With his combination of speed, strength, and athleticism, it seems like Brown’s ability to keep surprising us is limitless. One thing is for sure—when Jaylen Brown takes flight, the entire NBA takes notice.

Jaylen Brown Named Sports Illustrated NBA Player of the Year: A Breakthrough Season for the Celtics Star

In a year marked by intense competition and remarkable individual performances, Jaylen Brown has emerged as the NBA Player of the Year according to Sports Illustrated. The Boston Celtics’ star forward, who has long been one of the league’s most talented players, delivered a season that not only solidified his status as one of the elite players in the NBA but also elevated his profile to new heights.

Brown’s selection by Sports Illustrated is a reflection of his exceptional performance throughout the 2023-2024 NBA season, a year in which he proved himself to be not just a complementary player to his teammate Jayson Tatum but a legitimate leader in his own right. Brown posted career-high averages across several major statistical categories, including points, rebounds, and assists, while continuing to showcase his elite defensive abilities. He was instrumental in the Celtics’ rise to the top of the Eastern Conference and their deep playoff run, with his all-around game serving as the backbone of the team’s success.

A Season to Remember

Jaylen Brown’s remarkable rise in the NBA has been a culmination of years of hard work, growth, and resilience. Coming into the league as the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Brown faced early criticism for his perceived lack of polish on offense. However, over the past few seasons, he has evolved into one of the most complete players in the league.

This season, Brown averaged a career-best 27.5 points per game, along with 7.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists, while maintaining his status as one of the league’s top defenders. His shooting efficiency was also at an all-time high, as he hit 48% of his field goal attempts, including a strong 36% from three-point range. What stood out most, however, was his ability to perform in clutch moments, especially during key games against other championship contenders.

While Jayson Tatum often gets the lion’s share of the attention, Brown has consistently demonstrated that he is more than capable of being the centerpiece of the Celtics’ offense. His growth in leadership has been evident, with Brown taking on a more vocal and commanding role both on and off the court.

Defensive Prowess

Brown’s selection for the Player of the Year award is also a testament to his outstanding defense. In a league that is increasingly focused on offense, Brown has consistently stood out as one of the premier two-way players in the game. His ability to lock down opposing wings and guard multiple positions makes him a key defensive asset for Boston. Brown’s combination of size, speed, and agility allows him to shut down scorers on the perimeter while also providing rim protection when needed.

His defensive prowess has earned him recognition as one of the leading candidates for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award in addition to his Player of the Year nod. Brown’s work on that side of the ball often goes underappreciated, but his ability to stifle some of the best offensive players in the game is an invaluable asset to the Celtics’ success.

Leadership and Growth

Off the court, Brown’s growth as a leader has been equally impressive. He has consistently used his platform to speak out on social issues, from racial inequality to education reform, and has become an influential voice within the NBA community. His maturity and perspective off the court have only enhanced his reputation as a leader in the locker room and a role model for younger players.

The Celtics’ success this season has been a reflection of not just Brown’s individual talent but also his ability to galvanize his teammates. His commitment to the team’s success, his focus on improving every aspect of his game, and his poise under pressure have made him a crucial figure in Boston’s pursuit of an NBA championship.

Looking Ahead

As Jaylen Brown continues to develop into one of the league’s most well-rounded players, the future looks incredibly bright for the Celtics. Brown’s selection as Sports Illustrated’s NBA Player of the Year is a clear indication that his ascent is far from over. With the Celtics poised for continued success, it’s clear that Jaylen Brown is no longer just an emerging star—he is now one of the NBA’s brightest and most influential players.

As the Celtics prepare for another championship run, the expectations for Brown are higher than ever. But after this season, it’s clear that he’s ready to embrace the challenge. Whether it’s his scoring, defense, or leadership, Jaylen Brown has proven that he is one of the most complete players in the NBA and that the future of the Celtics is in very capable hands.

Blake Lively Says Justin Baldoni Claimed He Could Speak To The Dead — And Had Conversations With Her Late Father!

Oof. Blake Lively made a lot of accusations against Justin Baldoni in her legal filing. But this is one of the most despicable. If you’ve read even a small fraction of the complaint, you know that’s saying something.

But amid all the alleged harassment, bullying, and inappropriate behavior for a film set… there’s also something that’s more deeply, personally hurtful. Blake said in her filing that Baldoni “engaged in other behaviors that were shocking and emotionally distressing.” This is maybe the one that really pops out. According to Blake, the It Ends With Us director claimed he could communicate with the dead — and spoke personally to her late father!

For those who don’t know, Blake lost her dad Ernie Lively in 2021, and it was an absolutely devastating loss for the Gossip Girl alum. Her beautiful tribute to the late actor — who also played her dad onscreen in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants — showed just what an enormous presence he was in her life.

And Justin came in, after not even knowing the man, and told her he was speaking to his ghost.

Blake alleged in her complaint that Justin claimed “he could speak to the dead, and on several occasions told [Lively] that he had spoken to her dead father.” She described the ghastly boast as “off putting and violative.” She couldn’t believe this man would “claim a personal relationship with [Lively’s] recently deceased father.”

We can’t believe it either. It’s one thing to claim you have these kinds of powers. There are mediums who make a whole career out of it. It’s another to violate someone’s personal emotional space by claiming you’re speaking to their deceased relatives without their consent. Even TV mediums would surely decry that as unethical behavior.

We wonder if this is part of why Blake’s sis Robyn Lively and brother-in-law Bart Johnson were so vocal in their support of the fight against Justin? We mean, it’s her father, too. She has every right to be offended.

Blake also noted in her list of demands on the contentious film set that she would not tolerate Baldoni’s “unsolicited sharing” of his “religious beliefs” with her — and also noted:

“No more pressing by Justin Baldoni to sage any of Blake Lively’s employees.”

To “sage” them? He was forcing them to take blessings? Burnt sage is supposed to cleanse negative energies. And it sounds like he was trying to push that on everyone during filming. But if this is anything to go on, the negative energy was all coming from one place.
