Saquon Barkley doesn’t understand Taylor Swift ‘hate’ at Super Bowl, says ‘she’s made the game bigger’

Swift was booed heavily at Super Bowl LIX

Taylor Swift heard the boos from fans at Super Bowl LIX but Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley admitted he couldn’t understand why.

Barkley helped the Eagles to a Super Bowl title as Philadelphia defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, with Swift in attendance rooting for Travis Kelce and the guys in red and white.

He appeared on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” on Tuesday and was asked about the prospects of Kelce marrying Swift.

“I have no idea. I will say this though,” he told Stern, “You know, I remember that they showed her on the jumbotron and she got booed. I don’t get it. I don’t get why she was getting hate there.

 

“She’s there supporting her significant other and she’s made the game bigger. You know, we’re all about, in football, we’re all about, you know, how can we expand the game and make it more, you know, internationally and we’re traveling to Brazil and we’re traveling to Mexico, and you know, apparently we’re traveling to Australia soon, so we’re trying to expand the game and, you know, her being a part of it’s only helping that, so I don’t get the slack that she’s getting.”

Barkley didn’t have the breakout game he had been used to during the season, but still made NFL history.

He set the record for most rushing yards in a single season when counting regular-season and postseason stats. He had 57 yards in the win with 2,504 total rushing yards, beating the mark set in the 1998 season by Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis.

 

The stunning trade that sent five-time All-Star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, and in exchange, nine-time All-Star Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks continues to reverberate for both teams, and throughout the NBA. On Monday, after he played just one game for his new team, Davis was sidelined with an adductor strain — an injury that used to be called a “groin pull” — and will miss “multiple weeks.”

On the other end of the trade, the 25-year-old Doncic had played only 22 of the Mavericks’ 49 games prior to the trade, none since Christmas Day, and went on to sit out his first three games as a Laker. The 2018-2019 NBA Rookie of the Year was suffering from a left calf strain — but he finally suited up and made his Lakers debut on Monday in a game at home against the Utah Jazz.
The Lakers blew the Jazz out in that one, 132-113. Doncic made a modest contribution, playing only 24 minutes while scoring 14 points with five assists and six rebounds.

More Bad News About Health of Doncic

But heading into the away half of the two-game series with Utah Wednesday, the team’s final game before the NBA heads into its weeklong All-Star break, the Lakers got more bad news about their newest superstar acquisition. On the NBA’s daily injury report for February 12, Doncic is once again listed as “questionable” heading into Wednesday’s game, scheduled for 7 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (9 p.m. Eastern) at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

The injury report status makes it seem likely that Doncic will again sit out the game in which, despite playing away from home, the 32-19 Lakers are listed as 9.5 point favorites over the 12-40 Jazz.

Doncic was not selected to the All-Star roster this season, breaking a streak of five consecutive All-Star appearances for the Ljubljana, Slovenia, native who was picked by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round, No. 3 overall, of the 2018 NBA draft. The Hawks then quickly traded Doncic to Dallas for the Mavericks’ top pick, No. 5 overall, Trae Young, as well as a first round pick in 2019.

His absence from All-Star Weekend means that if Doncic sits out again on Wednesday, he gets a break of eight full days to further rest his calf strain before the Lakers resume action on February 19 at home against the Charlotte Hornets. By that time, Los Angeles presumably hopes, Doncic will feel up to taking his place alongside Lebron James as half of a dual threat that has the potential to lead the Lakers to their 18th NBA championship.

Doncic received 1.6 million All-Star votes, third highest among all guards. But in the NBA selection process, fan voting counts for only 50 percent of the final decision. Votes from players, coaches and a media panel comprise the other half.

Mavs Owner Implies Doncic Lacks ‘Focus’

But how quickly will Doncic recover from the lingering injury? The player’s physical conditioning and discipline has been called into question before, and shortly after the trade Mavericks’ owner Patrick Dumont appeared to say that Doncic did not have the “right character” to help the Mavericks — who made the NBA Finals last season only to lose in five games to the Boston Celtics — build for the future. Doncic battled injuries throughout the Finals against Boston.

“In my mind the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right culture, and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create a championship-winning outcome,” Dumont said, as quoted by CBS Sports. “If you don’t have that, it doesn’t work. And if you don’t have that, you shouldn’t be part of the Dallas Mavericks.

The post Lakers Get More Bad News on Luka Doncic Ahead of Last Game Before All-Star Break appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The latest NBA rumors reveal that there was at least some chatter with the Milwaukee Bucks about a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade. This prompted a strong reaction from the Bucks about opposing teams’ chances of striking a blockbuster NBA trade for the superstar.

Antetokounmpo’s three-year, $175.3 million contract is slated to run through at least the 2026-27 NBA season. The Bucks star has a player option for 2027-28, meaning Antetokounmpo could be a free agent as soon as 2027.

According to longtime NBA writer Gery Woelfel, the Dallas Mavericks inquired about a trade for Antetokounmpo before ultimately swapping Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis.

“To my utter surprise, some of those officials flat-out disputed [Mavericks general manager Nico] Harrison’s comments that he strictly communicated with just the Lakers,” the analyst wrote for Woelfel’s Press Box on Tuesday.

“According two NBA officials, the Mavs had interactions with at least two other teams besides the Lakers. They claimed the Mavs also had conversations with the Bucks and Timberwolves. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out which players from those teams would have piqued the Mavs’ interest,” Woelfel added.

“With the Bucks, it was Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP who led the Bucks to the NBA title in 2021. Antetokounmpo happens to have a strong rapport with Mavs coach Jason Kidd and his right-hand man, Sean Sweeney.”

There did not appear to be a mutual interest from the Bucks about a potential blockbuster trade. Milwaukee quickly shot down the idea of the team moving on from Antetokounmpo.
“According to one source, the Mavs reached out to the Bucks,” Woelfel noted. “But the Bucks made it clear to Mavs they wouldn’t trade Antetokounmpo even though his future with the team is murky.”

It did not appear to have legs, but it is interesting to imagine another world where the blockbuster NBA trade had Doncic getting swapped for Antetokounmpo. The Bucks clearly value having Antetokounmpo over Doncic.

Bryson Battle’s Blind Audition blew the Season 27 Coaches away on The Voice.

There are voices and then there are voices. Bryson Battle, a 21-year-old Harrisburg, North Carolina native, blew the Coaches away during his Blind Audition with his incredible range and tone, earning some of the highest praise of the series.

During The Voice Season 27, Episode 2, Battle looked totally at ease singing Donny Hathaway’s “A Song For You.”

“There has not been a time in my life when I wasn’t singing,” he said. As Battle’s excited family looked on, he scored the coveted 4-Chair-Turn. When Battle was finished, Coach Michael Bublé gave him the ultimate compliment. “You might have the greatest voice I’ve ever heard in my life,” he said, adding, “I sing that song every night in my shows, and I’ve never sung it that good.”

“Only an idiot would be able to see and listen to what you do and not be blown away,” agreed Adam Levine, advising Battle to “find ways to surprise people with the songs that you choose” and concluding, “You’re amazing, man, unbelievable.”

In an effort to recruit him, John Legend looked Battle in the eye and said, “Everybody’s tryna get between us. Everything felt like it was just breathing for you…I was the first one to turn around, in fact…You made [the song] feel fresh and new and exciting…We’re truly blessed to have you on the show. This is why The Voice exists.” It worked, and Battle joined Team Legend.

What John Legend loves most about The Voice

Legend has established himself as one of the main faces of the series, and last year, he told NBC Insider why he has stayed so long at the show. ”I love that we get to be surrounded by so much talent and it’s really inspiring, truthfully,” he said. “I learn from coaching. I learn from the interaction I have with these Artists, and it’s very renewing because, you know, I’ve been making records for, like, 20 years now and to be around Artists that have that hunger and that excitement is very renewing for me.”

He added that the show fits with his lifestyle, explaining, ”I also love that, you know, I live here in Los Angeles, I have four kids. It’s nice to work at home, basically, you know? And [to] be able to take my kids to school in the morning and then go to work, but honestly, the inspiration that I get from these Artists every single time is very renewing for me, and it doesn’t get old.”

With voices like Battle’s in the mix, it never will.

Patrick Mahomes’ former teammate pushes back on ‘tarnished’ legacy narrative around Chiefs star

Mahomes had one of his worst games of his career in Super Bowl LIX

Patrick Mahomes’ loss in Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles dropped him to 3-2 in Super Bowls since he took the reins as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.

On Sunday, Mahomes had one of the worst games he has ever had. The Eagles’ defense overpowered the Chiefs’ offensive line and rattled Mahomes early and often. He was sacked six times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. His QB rating was 11.4 for the game.

The game was on par with his performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. He was sacked three times and threw two interceptions, finishing with a QB rating of 42.2.

NFL pundits began to question Mahomes’ legacy in the immediate aftermath of the game. While there were comparisons to Tom Brady going into the game in which some believed Mahomes would be in his stratosphere with a third consecutive title, the loss – for some – diminished his standing so badly that the gap between both is almost insurmountable.

Former Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz had none of that. He defended Mahomes in social media posts on Tuesday.

“Someone is going to have to explain to me how a 29 year old’s legacy is tarnished because after the best 7 year start to a career and getting closer than anyone in history to winning 3 straight Super Bowls, one bad game from basically the entire team diminishes that legacy??” he wrote on X.

“Tiger missed cuts in majors even at the height of his powers. Brady had a 16-0 team and lost to a 10-6 team. Missed the playoffs his 2nd year starting. Lost multiple playoff games to teams who threw for less than 100 yards but that doesn’t matter b/c it wasn’t in the Super Bowl?

“The dynamic has gotten very weird where you have to not only win #Ringz but you also get docked this bad for a Super Bowl loss when you’re doing unprecedented things before the age of 30. Brady is the most accomplished QB ever, it’s going to take years to compare their résumés.”

As Brady lost to the New York Giants in 2007, Schwartz pointed out, pundits did not jump on his legacy and question his resume. He lamented the “reactionary” state of the media.

“It feels like we’re trying to blend MJ and Brady and hold Pat to that standard. No one is repeating 6-0,” he wrote. “Brady didn’t do it. No one else will, especially in football. Football is too interconnected, 1 game is too small. Jordan had 7 games to make sure his team won. Too different.”

Schwartz asked talking heads to “pump the brakes” on comparison and legacy talk.

Mahomes has plenty of time to catch Brady – if that is the goal. Brady was 32 years old when he reached his fifth Super Bowl and fell to 3-2 when his Patriots lost to the Giants for a second time.

Brady went 10 years without winning another one. The Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX thanks to an interception from Malcolm Butler at the very end of the game.

Mahomes vowed to recover and bring the Chiefs back to glory.

“I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it,” he wrote on X. “Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me.

How Kylie Kelce Learned Travis Kelce Was Dating Taylor Swift: ‘It Did Not Hit the Group Chat’

“I will say we knew before everyone else knew,” the ‘Not Gonna Lie’ podcast host said during her ‘Call Her Daddy’ interview

Kylie Kelce is revealing when she first found out her brother-in-law Travis Kelce was dating Taylor Swift.

While speaking on the Wednesday, Feb. 12 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kylie, 32 — who married Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, 37, in 2018 — didn’t give too much away, but did say that the couple found out about Travis’ romance before Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game on Sept. 24, 2023.

“We were not,” Kylie insisted of them being told “in some capacity” in the lead-up to them hard launching their relationship.

“I will say we knew before everyone else knew,” Kylie told host Alex Cooper, adding, “It did not hit the group chat.”

Taylor Swift Dines Out with Kylie Kelce and Haim Sisters in New Orleans the Night Before the Super Bowl

“Jason and I found out together. But, we knew before, like, they hard launched with her going to a game,” the Not Gonna Lie podcast host — who is currently expecting her fourth baby girl with the former Philadelphia Eagles center — insisted.

Discussing what she and Swift have bonded over, Kylie revealed they both grew up visiting the same seaside New Jersey locales. “We grew up going to the same shore points. So, her family was like Sea Isle, Stone Harbor. And that’s, like, the exact areas that I grew up going to. I’ve gone to Sea Isle City my whole life,” she said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kylie cleared up the rumors about how she and the pop superstar first met at the Chiefs’ game against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 21, 2024.

“People are deeply disturbed by this… There was like all of this stuff leading up to it about, ‘Well, why haven’t they met?’ ‘They’re avoiding each other,’ ” she said, adding, “I’m not avoiding anyone. I’m more than happy to meet someone, especially someone that Travis is dating.”

“But it was funny to me because I kept saying to people, ‘I didn’t meet Travis for probably close to a year when Jason and I were dating,’ ” Kylie told the host.

“And she’s busy,” she joked, seemingly in reference to the fact that Swift was on her hugely successful Eras Tour at the time.

“It’s just so silly to me that that’s the storyline that’s written,” Kylie added.

Swift and Travis first sparked dating rumors in Sept. 2023 before confirming their romance in October of that year when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. The “Fortnight” singer was later spotted at a handful of Travis’ games, including attending the Super Bowl in both 2024 and 2025.

After the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 and Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour came to an end in December 2024, the power couple are reportedly looking forward to taking a bit of a break together.

“Their lives have been a whirlwind since they first started dating,” a source told PEOPLE this month. “Things seem great between them, and they’re incredibly happy together.”

Jason Kelce Breaks Down Crying Over Miscommunication About Whether He Was Rooting for Travis in the Super Bowl

“It was very, very hard to watch,” the retired NFL player said of his younger brother’s Chiefs falling to own his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles

Jason Kelce is feeling emotional following Super Bowl 2025.

Speaking on an episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, released Wednesday, Feb. 12, the retired NFL player broke down in tears over the misconception that he wasn’t rooting for his brother Travis Kelce at this year’s game.

On Sunday, Feb. 9, Travis and his Kansas City Chiefs lost 40-22 against his brother’s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

“On one hand, you played your entire life with an organization and team,” said Jason, 37. “A lot of people in that building — coaches, friends, teammates that you’ve gone through adversity with — and it really makes you very, very close.”

He added, “And then on the other hand, you have your brother, and I’ve always supported you. I’ve always wanted you to win.”

Agreeing with Jason’s statement of support, Travis, 35, said, “Every step of the way.”

“And I wanted you to win this game. I thought I made that clear,” the former Eagles center continued, to which Travis stated, “You made it clear to me.”

Speaking on how he found it difficult explaining his devotion to both Travis and the Eagles, the sportsman added, “It felt like I couldn’t be right. Felt like no matter what I said, some people were gonna skew it and say that I’m rooting for the Eagles, and some people were gonna skew it and say that I was rooting for the Chiefs or Travis. And it sucks.”

Encouraging his brother, Travis assured his older brother that he didn’t have to explain himself and that he knew his intentions, adding that Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce had spent years contributing to the community in Philadelphia and the organization.

However, the NFL broadcaster appeared to become overcome with emotion as he spoke.

“Yeah and all that is true, we are still very much attached to this organization, which is why there is part of me that obviously is very happy and proud that they have won this game,” Jason said. “But that does not take precedence over rooting for you. And that’s why this game sucked. It was very, very hard to watch.”

Breaking down in tears, he continued, “As much as I love the Eagles, as much as I love the city of Philadelphia, there was not a f—ing ounce of me that … I tried to correlate that I was rooting for both sides the whole time and that I was gonna be happy and sad regardless.”

“I just don’t know how to articulate that I’m happy for some of the Eagles, but at the same time, I was miserable during the game watching you not achieve your success again,” Jason added.

Travis and the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22 last year; the Eagles with a score of 38-35 in 2023 and the San Francisco 49ers again in 2020. However, the Chiefs lost 31-9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.

Meanwhile, Jason’s comments come after sources told PEOPLE that he was feeling “bittersweet” following Sunday’s Super Bowl.

“He was rooting for the Eagles to win but he also wanted Travis to play well,” the insider said.

Jason also wrote on X Monday, Feb. 10, that it was “odd” watching his former team beat Travis, adding that although he wanted “what is best” for his brother and to “see his success,” he also “deeply” cared for “so many people” in the Eagles organization.

Bruce Springsteen Brings Daughter Jessica Onstage for an Unforgettable Dance in Paris, Turning the Iconic Song That Made Courtney Cox Famous into a Heartwarming Father-Daughter Moment.

For many daughters, the idea of dancing with their dad might feel a little awkward or embarrassed. After all, dads aren’t exactly known for their smooth moves or keeping up with the latest trends. But every once in a while, a father-daughter duo steps onto the dance floor and creates a moment so heartwarming that it transcends any potential embarrassment.

Bruce Springsteen brought a special kind of magic to his Paris concert on July 5, 2012, when he invited his 20-year-old daughter, Jessica, to join him on stage. Performing at the packed Paris Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, The Boss, 62 at the time, had the crowd of 10,000 fans cheering as he and Jessica danced together to his hit song “Dancing in the Dark.”

Beaming with joy, Jessica twirled effortlessly as her rockstar dad spun her around, creating a heartwarming father-daughter moment. The iconic track, which catapulted Courtney Cox to fame in its 1984 music video, took on new life in this unforgettable performance.

While the father-daughter duo danced, the audience erupted in applause, sharing their joy. Bruce Springsteen once again proved that music has the power to bring people together, showing dads everywhere a beautiful way to connect with their daughters.

The video of their interaction was widely shared on social media, and received countless positive feedback such as “Very cool that Bruce brings his daughter and his mom onstage at shows. Best live performer ever” or “She is a gorgeous kid and if that’s not a proud father then I don’t know what is. I’ve seen this video a few times and it always chokes me up and leaves me smiling ear to ear.”

Frail Phil Collins, 71, sits while performing in Berlin during European leg of Genesis’ The Last Domino? tour – as the singer battles debilitating health conditions

Phil Collins continued to look frail as he performed with his band Genesis at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin on Monday night.

The singer, who is touring with fellow bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, all 71, shot a glum expression as he remained seated throughout the gig.

He’s been plagued by a number of health issues in recent years, starting with an injured vertebrae in his upper back in 2009.

The injury was sustained during a show and left him with cripplingly painful nerve damage.

Despite Phil’s health issues, after two break ups and a reunion tour, the English trio have been back on the road under the banner: The Last Domino? Tour.

The band opened their set with the song Behind The Lines and then Duke’s End, both from their hit 1980 album, Duke.

The setlist was full of Genesis staples including, the Mama, Follow You Follow Me, Invisible Touch, Throwing It All Away and I Can’t Dance, among others.

Wow! The injury was sustained during a show and left him with cripplingly painful nerve damage

Phil used to be behind the drum kit during early incarnations of the band, but like more recent years he was relegated to being out front as the singer, with his son taking over as drummer.

The musician lost the feeling in his fingers following surgery and could only play drums for the band, as he did previously, if the sticks were taped to his hands.

In his 2016 autobiography he revealed he’d struggled with alcohol abuse after his retirement and the following year he stated he was a he is a type 2 diabetic and had received treatment in a hyperbaric chamber after a diabetic abscess developed on his foot and became infected.

He also suffers from a condition called foot drop after a back operation, leaving him needing a stick to help him walk.

Shame: The musician lost the feeling in his fingers following surgery and could only play drums for the band, as he did previously, if the sticks were taped to his hands

The tour, which was originally slated to begin in late 2020, had to be postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, eventually kicking off on September 20, 2021 with a show in at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.

After playing concerts around parts of Europe, the tour would come to a halt on October 8, with just four dates left, when one band member tested positive for coronavirus.

Those shows have since been rescheduled for March 2022.

 

 

Chiefs’ Travis Kelce dishes on NFL playing future after crushing Super Bowl loss

Kelce had four catches in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce isn’t making any decisions on his potential retirement – yet.

Kelce, 35, opened up about what his NFL future holds during a recent episode of “New Heights.”

“I know everybody wants to know whether I am playing next year and right now I am just kicking everything down the road. I am kicking every can I can down the road,” Kelce said.

The three-time Super Bowl champion completed his 12th NFL season, which ended with a 40-22 demolition by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

“I am not making any crazy decisions, but right now the biggest thing is just being there for my teammates and being there for my coaches, understanding there’s a lot that goes into this thing. I’ve been fortunate over the past five, six years, I’ve played more football than anybody.”

“The fact that we keep going to these AFC Championships and Super Bowls, that means I’m playing an extra three games more than everybody else in the entire league. That’s a lot of wear and tear on your body.”

“It’s a lot of time in the building… That process can be grueling. It can weigh on you. It can make you better and it can drive you crazy. Right now, it was one of those things where it was driving me crazy this year. It happens as you tail off toward the back nine of your career.”

With the Chiefs’ incredible success over the last eight seasons, Kelce has played 25 playoff games, adding nearly a season and half worth of games to the 175 regular season games he has played in his career.

Kelce was still productive this season, but his yards (823) and touchdowns (3) in the regular season this year were the lowest he has had in a full season.

In the Super Bowl, Kelce had just four catches for 39 yards, all of which came with the Chiefs trailing by multiple touchdowns.

“As you see yourself or feel yourself not having this success that you once used to have, it’s a tough pill to swallow,” Kelce said.

“To not be there in the biggest moments, knowing your team is counting on you, those are all extremely hard things – it’s just a tough reality.”

The star tight end said he was going to take some time to figure it out.

“I think I owe it to my teammates that if I do come back, it’s going to be something that – it’s a wholehearted decision,” Kelce said.

“I’m not half-a–ing it. I’m fully here for them and I think I can play. It’s just whether or not I’m motivated or if it’s the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to take on all that responsibility.”

If Kelce does decide to retire, he will likely be a first-ballot Hall of Famer and will go down as one of the best tight ends to ever play in NFL history.
