  • Travis Kelce channels inner ‘70s with Super Bowl LIX pre-game fit

    Travis Kelce channels inner ‘70s with Super Bowl LIX pre-game fit

    Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce headed into the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday for Super Bowl LIX channeling his inner ‘70s. 

    Kelce’s fit would be categorized as groovy, donning a burnt orange suit from the era. 

    On Kelce’s jacket was a gold rose pin, as he also accessorized some brown-lensed sunglasses.

    Kelce is exuding confidence heading into a game he knows all too well. In fact, a FOX Sports graphic popped up during his entrance saying he has 31 career receptions in his Super Bowls, which is the most all-time among tight ends in NFL history. 

    The history that the Chiefs could make in New Orleans can’t be overstated as they look to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls.

    Last year, it was an overtime thriller between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers as Patrick Mahomes ultimately found Mecole Hardman for the game-winning touchdown in a 25-22 victory.

    But Kelce had an infamous moment in the first half when he was seen screaming in the face of head coach Andy Reid. Kelce, Reid and everyone else on the sideline credited the moment to the heat of competition, as the Chiefs weren’t performing the way they could’ve liked. 

    The moment didn’t come back to haunt Kelce or the Chiefs, as the tight end led Kansas City with 93 yards on nine receptions to help his squad secure back-to-back Lombardi Trophies.

    The year before, Kelce saw the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he will go against again tonight, but it will be without his older brother, legendary Eagles center Jason Kelce, on the other sideline. 

    Kelce had six catches for 81 yards with a touchdown for the Chiefs in the win that started this streak. 

    He’s proven to live up to the moment in the “Big Game,” and Kelce’s performance will be critical in making sure history is made on Sunday night.

  • WNBA star DiJonai Carrington flaunts explicit message on pre-game outfit directed at President Trump

    WNBA star DiJonai Carrington flaunts explicit message on pre-game outfit directed at President Trump

    WNBA star DiJonai Carrington sparked some controversy before her Friday night Unrivaled game due to her pre-game outfit selection.

    Carrington was spotted walking into Wayfair Arena in Miami, Florida, wearing a sweatshirt with rapper YG on the front with the name of his old 2016 tour: “The F—Donald Trump Tour.”

    The message, written in red letters with the rapper in the background flipping the middle finger, was clear as Carrington stopped to pose for a photo.

    Carrington, whose X page around the election showed pro-Kamala Harris messaging, appears to make it clear how she feels about President Trump with her outfit choice.

    Carrington is a part of the new 3-on-3 Unrivaled league, playing for the Mist, which is one of six clubs within the organization co-founded by fellow WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. 

    DIJONAI CARRINGTON, CAITLIN CLARK’S TEAMMATE APPEAR TO JOKE ABOUT INFAMOUS EYE-POKING INCIDENT

    Carrington was named the WNBA’s Most Improved Player during the 2024 season, receiving 28 of the 67 votes from a national media panel after posting career highs in points (12.7), rebounds (5.0) and assists (1.6).

    But the 2024 season didn’t come without some controversy on the court for Carrington, who was accused of purposefully poking Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s new superstar and Rookie of the Year, in the eye during a game.

    Carrington pleaded her innocence after the incident. 

    “I don’t even know why I would intent to hit anybody in the eye,” she said. “That doesn’t even make sense to me.”

    Clark also downplayed the situation when asked about, saying it “wasn’t intentional by any means.”

    Carrington was already not in the good graces of Fever fans, as she provoked them by posting a tweet in late August, which read, “the Indiana fever have the nastiest fans in the W. ew.” The eye-poking incident occurred during Game 1 of the WNBA playoffs match-up between Carrington’s Connecticut Sun and Clark’s Fever.
