    Jason Kelce opens up about ‘mixed emotions’ after brother Travis Kelce loses to Eagles in Super Bowl LIX

    For former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Super Bowl LIX was an emotional roller coaster through the end. 

    Kelce was faced with the dilemma of rooting for his former team or his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In the end, it was the Birds that ended up victorious. While that gave the former NFL player something to cheer about, Jason expressed just how complicated his feelings about the big game were in a lengthy post on social media Monday.

    “Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night, and now that I’ve collected my thoughts, I’ll attempt to share them in the longest tweet ever,” Jason began in a post on X.

    “That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago,” he said, referencing Super Bowl LVII where the two brothers played against one another. 

    “On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.”

    Jason congratulated his former teammates and coaches, adding that they “proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season.”

    He also went into detail about Travis and the Chiefs’ accomplishments. 

    “As for my brother, there isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity. He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past. I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, but in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever.”

    The Chiefs were chasing history this season, looking to become the first NFL team to ever win three consecutive championships. But the Eagles put on a show to rout the defending champs 40-22.

    Kellen Moore to take Saints’ head coach job after winning Super Bowl with Eagles: reports

    Kellen Moore is set to become the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints more than a day after he helped the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

    Sources told FOX Sports that Moore was going to be named the Saints’ next head coach. NFL Network also reported the deal was being finalized.

    Moore served as the Eagles’ offensive coordinator for one season – an integral won in which the team captured the Super Bowl title.

    Golf influencer Paige Spiranac calls Taylor Swift boos at Super Bowl LIX ‘lame’

    Golf influencer Paige Spiranac came to the defense of Taylor Swift on Monday as the pop star was booed when she was shown on the video board during Super Bowl LIX.

    Swift was at the game supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs – as she has done for the last two seasons. However, Philadelphia Eagles fans swarmed the city of New Orleans and made their presence felt throughout the game.

    Eagles fans booed Chiefs players when they took the field and made their feelings about Swift known in the stadium, though Swift is from West Reading, Pennsylvania, and even sang about being a fan of the guys in green and white.

    Spiranac gave her thoughts on the boos towards Swift in a post on X.

    “It was reported that the NFL’s brand value has increased almost 1 billion dollars since Taylor Swift started dating Kelce,” she wrote. “The NFL is using her popularity to boost their brand. So booing Taylor Swift is lame. She was just showing up to support her significant other. The amount of times she’s shown at a game or posted on social media is out of her control.”

    The Swift effect was real and talked about a lot during the 2023 season, but all of that tailed off a bit in 2024. She was shown fewer times on television than she was when she and Kelce first started dating and was only shown a handful of times during the Super Bowl LIX broadcast.

    Tennis great Serena Williams also defended Swift on X.

    “I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!” Williams wrote.

    Boos or not, Swift will now embark on an entire offseason with Kelce. Last year, she was still in the midst of her “Eras Tour.” This time, she will get a firsthand look at what the tight end will decide to do about his playing career.

    Retirement rumors have swirled around Kelce all season. He said Swift gave him the green light to continue playing if he wanted.

    “She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” the 10-time Pro Bowler said last month on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” adding that Swift loves coming to Arrowhead Stadium for games.

    “I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

    Super Bowl LIX shatters viewership records as millions watched Eagles win

    Super Bowl LIX shattered records as NFL fans tuned in or streamed the Philadelphia Eagles’ blowout win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, 40-22, in New Orleans.

    FOX Sports announced on Monday that a projected average of 126 million watched the game across FOX, FOX Deportes, Tubi, Telemundo and NFL Digital properties. The game was broadcast on FOX and streamed live for free on Tubi for the first time ever.

    About 135.7 million viewers tuned in at the peak, which FOX Sports said was between 8 and 8:15 p.m. ET in the second quarter of the game. By that time, the Eagles were already well on their way to a big victory.

    Additionally, FOX Sports said 14.5 million streamed the game on Tubi and NFL Digital properties. Tubi received 13.6 million viewers alone.

    The Eagles won the game behind outstanding performances from quarterback Jalen Hurts and the defense, which was able to torment Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and shut down the offense almost completely.

    Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP.

    “This is the ultimate team game. You can’t be great without the greatness of others. Great performance by everybody — offense, defense, special teams,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. “We didn’t really ever care what anyone thought about how we won, or their opinions. All we want to do is win.”

    Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson trolled Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in a post on social media following the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory on Sunday.

    Gardner-Johnson, who had an interception return for a touchdown nullified late in the game, posted a message seemingly directed toward the star tight end and his romantic life.

    “Should’ve stayed w that thick s***” he wrote as the caption.

    Gardner-Johnson seemed to reference Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole and made a comparison towards the tight end’s current flame, pop star Taylor Swift. Both women were on hand to watch the Eagles rout the Chiefs, 40-22.

    Nicole was on the field blowing the green and white confetti around while celebrating the Eagles’ win. Kelce was seen after the game going up to Swift’s suite to meet with her before he left with the team. Kelce appeared downcast as he walked off the field following the loss.

    The question will be whether Kelce returns to the Chiefs for the 2025 season or whether he walks into the sunset and retires.

    For Gardner-Johnson, he will be with the team on Friday when they celebrate their title win in Philadelphia. He had three tackles in the Super Bowl.

    Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift appeared to be shell-shocked at how Super Bowl LIX turned out on Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22.

    One person from Kelce’s past was extremely pleased as she celebrated the Eagles’ win down on the field at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

    Kayla Nicole was on the field blowing green and white confetti around and talking with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni after Philadelphia’s blowout win. She captioned one video, “They said there’s room on the wagon yall.”

    She was at the Super Bowl on behalf of the “I AM ATHLETE” podcast.

    Kelce and Nicole dated for about five years before they split in 2022. In November, she lamented in a podcast interview that she was not “as cool” with some of the other wives and girlfriends of Chiefs players as she once was.

    She told Radar Online at the time that she is not as close with the other Chiefs wives and girlfriends as she once was.

    “We are not as cool as we once were.,” she told the website, adding that the breakup was hard because of how close she was with some of the women.

    It was not the first time Nicole has seemingly commented on her ex-boyfriend’s relationship.

    Nicole talked about the comments she has received from Swift’s fans on her social media posts during an appearance on “Unapologetically Angel” with WNBA star Angel Reese.

    “I would be lying if I said that that level of hate (from Swift’s fans) and just like online chaos doesn’t impact me, it does. Even to this day,” Nicole said. 

    Nicole said she still receives comments from Swift’s fans to this day.

  • Stephen A Smith says he would divorce Serena Williams for Super Bowl halftime show cameo

    Stephen A Smith says he would divorce Serena Williams for Super Bowl halftime show cameo

    Serena Williams made a surprise cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show, as she was spotted dancing during the performance of “Not Like Us.”

    Making an appearance for that song sparked some debate on social media, especially considering Lamar’s song is a diss track toward the rapper Drake, whom Williams dated in 2011. 

    Many believed it was no coincidence Williams’ time to shine was during this track, and ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith thinks the same.

    It’s why, during his Monday edition of “First Take,” he told his colleagues he would divorce her if he was her husband. 

    “If I’m married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his a–, ‘cause clearly you don’t belong with me,” Smith said on the show, which led to some laughter from his colleagues.

    “What you worried about him for and you’re with me? Bye. Bye.”

    Williams is married to Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, and they share two daughters together. 

    Smith’s co-host Ryan Clark responded, “If you were with Serena Williams, you’re going to be a kept man anyways. Don’t start that.”

    Lamar and Drake have quite the beef with each other, though only one of them saw Grammys won for their diss tracks. 

    “Not Like Us” won Song of the Year, which also won Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video. 

    It’s also worth noting Lamar was joined by SZA during the performance as well, and she confirmed dating Drake after he rapped about it on the track, “Mr. Right Now,” with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin. 

    Whether it’s trolling or not, Williams and Lamar do share a connection with their childhood, having grown up in Compton, California.

    Sens. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., and John Fetterman, D-Pa., put party politics aside to support the Philadelphia Eagles at SuperBowl LIX, trading in their partisan feud for a friendly wager with Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan. 

    The Pennsylvania senators are both Pittsburgh Steelers fans who were “all in for the birds” at the big game. Before the birds could fly Sunday night, Marshall, who is a Kansas City Chiefs fan, announced the senators’ friendly bet. With the Eagles’ win, Marshall will have to wear Eagles gear and owes McCormick and Fetterman Kansas City barbecue.

    “@RogerMarshallMD, you’re on. May the best team win. Looking forward to eating some KC BBQ and seeing you sport some @Eagles gear,” McCormick replied to Marshall. 

    “Gotta stop by @SenMcCormickPA’s office to get some of that barbecue since we’re winning this wager,” Fetterman added.

    While McCormick joined forces with his Democratic counterpart to support the Eagles, the Republican senator caught a ride to the game on Air Force One with President Donald Trump, Marshall and other senate colleagues. 

    TRUMP SIGNS PROCLAMATION DECLARING FEBRUARY 9 ‘GULF OF AMERICA DAY’ AHEAD OF SUPER BOWL: ‘ANOTHER BIG WIN’

    President Trump signed an executive order declaring Feb. 9 as “Gulf of America Day” as Air Force One flew over the newly renamed body of water on the way to Super Bowl LIX. After the game, McCormick said he spoke to the president about keeping his campaign promises for Pennsylvania. 

    “[I] had the chance to talk to him and advocate for Pennsylvania to keep the promises we made to unleash energy dominance, prevent the threat of fentanyl from devastating our communities, and bring down the cost of living,” McCormick said.

    Fetterman trolled McCormick online throughout his 2024 senatorial campaign, calling him “Connecticut Dave.” But McCormick and Fetterman have found common ground for Pennsylvania since the election — on more than just football teams and friendly wagers.

    McCormick and Fetterman agreed to “break bread” in January, meeting for dinner with their wives to discuss policy for Pennsylvania.

    Fetterman has been one of few Democratic senators willing to work across the aisle under Trump’s second term. He met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and met with his cabinet nominees on Capitol Hill.

    Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes leaves out teammate while shaking hands during Super Bowl LIX loss

    Vibes weren’t high on the Kansas City Chiefs’ sideline during Super Bowl LIX as they were uncharacteristically blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles. 

    Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, though, was spotted walking down the bench dapping up his teammates, trying to keep spirits high at a time when they were at their lowest all season. 

    However, Mahomes is being scrutinized for seemingly forgetting to shake hands with one of his running backs, Samaje Perine, as he went down the line.

    Perine had stood up, acting like he was going to shake hands with his quarterback, but Mahomes skipped him to talk to tight end Travis Kelce instead. 

    The video of Mahomes went viral after the 40-22 loss, with many wondering why he would pass up on Perine after going through the rest of his teammates. 

    EAGLES WIN SUPER BOWL LIX, DENYING CHIEFS HISTORY IN DOMINANT FASHION

    Perine is a veteran in the NFL, playing his first year with the Chiefs in 2024 after spending time with the Washington Commanders, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos in prior seasons.

    Perine was used mainly in the pass game out of the backfield, hauling in 28 receptions for 322 yards and one touchdown for the Chiefs during the regular season. He had 92 rushing yards on 20 carries with a score as well. 

    Perine caught a pass from Mahomes in the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills, which sealed their victory and put them into their third straight Super Bowl. 

    While Mahomes never commented on what happened with forgetting Perine on the sideline after the game, he did post about the loss after the worst start of his career.

    Eagles’ Jalen Hurts celebrates Super Bowl LIX victory, MVP at Disney’s Magic Kingdom

    Jalen Hurts went to Disney World.

    The Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback, who was named Super Bowl LIX MVP, honored the tradition of going to Disney World on Monday. He was seen on a float riding around Magic Kingdom in the Main Street USA parade as the park was packed with Eagles fans.

    Hurts had 221 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in Philadelphia’s 40-22 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs. For that, he was named MVP of the game.

    The tradition of Super Bowl MVPs going to Disney World started in 1987 after the New York Giants defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. Phil Simms, who was the MVP of that game, was filmed in Disney’s “What’s Next?” commercial.

    He is asked, “Phil Simms, you have just won the Super Bowl. What are you doing next?”

    “I’m gonna go to Disney World,” he responded.

    Hurts’ commercial featured his throw to Jahan Dotson in the first quarter, which was nearly a touchdown. Then, it showed the team’s tush push to get him into the end zone for the first score of the game. It also featured his bullseye pass to Devonta Smith for a touchdown.

    “I’m going to Disney World!” Hurts said when asked what he was going to do next.

    WHO’S NEXT? PREDICTING THE NEXT 5 SUPER BOWL MATCHUPS

    Hurts silenced the critics with his performance on Sunday. Philadelphia got to the Super Bowl two years ago and lost to the Chiefs in a game that Hurts played well in. Last season, Philly started 10-1 but struggled down the stretch and were bounced from the playoffs early.

    Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the adversity Hurts faced in 2023 helped build momentum for his moment in 2024.

    “Adversity has a tendency to bring you together,” he said. “I look back on last year and how last year ended, and I’m grateful. As crazy as it sounds, I’m grateful how last year ended because it shaped us to who we are today and where we’re standing today.”

    Hurts admitted that the journey is important when it comes to holding up the trophies at the end of the season and teams and players will ultimately be judged by the results on the field.
