Kansas City Chiefs

If you're one of the NFL fans who thinks Taylor Swift is ruining football, Charles Barkley has a message for you: "You’re just a loser or a jackass!"

That was the NBA legend's message Thursday, dunking on T.S. critics from the desk of his "King Charles" show on CNN ... blasting fans who have come for Swift, accusing her of screwing up football.

"I'm gonna look right in that camera," Barkley said, "If you're screaming at T-Swift saying she ruined [football], you're just a loser."

Chuck continued ... "You're just a loser or a jackass. You can be A or B. One of the two."

Legendary sportscaster Bob Costas -- a guest of Barkley and Gayle King's -- also spoke on the Traylor frenzy ... and it's clear he doesn't believe the negativity will have an impact on the hundred-plus million fans who will watch Super Bowl LVIII.

"When it comes to the Super Bowl, where a lot of people who don't watch football all year long, double the audience," Costas said.

"Like 90 of the top 100 rated television shows in a given year are football games -- almost all of them NFL games."

Si eres uno de los fans de la NFL que piensa que Taylor Swift está arruinando el fútbol americano, Charles Barkley tiene un mensaje para ti: "¡Eres un perdedor o un imbécil!".

Ese fue el mensaje de la leyenda de la NBA el jueves, arremetiendo contra críticos de Taylor desde el escritorio de su programa "King Charles" en CNN, arremetiendo contra los fans que han atacado a Swift, acusándola de arruinar el fútbol.

"Voy a mirar directamente a esa cámara", dijo Barkley, "Si eres de los que dice que Taylor Swift arruinó el fútbol, solo eres un perdedor".

Chuck continuó: "Solo eres un perdedor o un imbécil. Puedes ser A o B. Una de las dos".

El legendario comentarista deportivo Bob Costas -un invitado de Barkley y Gayle King- también habló sobre el frenesí de Traylor y está claro que no cree que la negatividad tendrá un impacto en los más de cien millones de aficionados que verán el Super Bowl LVIII.

"Durante el Super Bowl la audiencia se duplica, ya que mucha gente que no ve fútbol durante el año, sintoniza el juego", dijo Costas.

"Al igual que 90 de los 100 programas de televisión de mayor audiencia en un año determinado son los partidos de fútbol, casi todos ellos partidos de la NFL".

Taylor Swift's "Swag Surfin" is Grade-A work ... so say the song's original creators, who tell us they created the banger for everyone to ride the wave!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently spoke with McFly, Vee, Mook, and Ea$ton, collectively known as Fast Life Yungstaz a.k.a. F.L.Y., best known for their 2009 hit.

The song's stood the test of time from outta rap's ringtone and snap music eras ... which the world saw in full force when TS put the dance in a global spotlight last month during a Chiefs playoff game.

The "Anti-Hero" was seen rocking out with friends in her luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium while celebrating her boyfriend Travis Kelce's wild card victory over the Dolphins.

Fans who have been on Hypnotic and Exotic all these years called Taylor's dancing a cringe moment for the culture, but the boys of F.L.Y. couldn't disagree more.

They say Tay Tay's surfing boosted their streams a ridiculous 700% ... and they wouldn't be mad if she just so happened to create her own 'Taylor's Version,' as long she raps on it.

Patrick Mahomes is an inspiration to dad bods all over the world ... 'cause the NFL superstar hilariously defended his physique after a video of the shirtless quarterback went viral this week.

The two-time Super Bowl champ's appearance was put under the microscope when the NFL shared footage of the Chiefs' locker room celebration following Sunday's AFC Championship Game ... with many pointing out Mahomes' tummy.

While the dude isn't overweight by any means, some on social media seemingly expected him to be a bit more shredded ... considering he is one of the greatest athletes on the planet.

The 28-year-old took all the chatter in stride ... while playfully calling out the NFL for posting the vid for all to see in the first place.

"Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!?," Mahomes jokingly said on his account. "🤣🤣🤣 #DadBodSZN"

"Like i got kids!!!! @Chiefs @insidetheNFL @NFL 🤣🤣🤣"

Of course, Mahomes is a happy father of two -- 2-year-old daughter, Sterling, and 1-year-old son, Bronze -- so there's a good chance he's had to pause some workouts to look after the youngins.

Many supporters -- most likely fellow dad bods -- defended Mahomes' dropped top look ... and some pointed out other legends like Tom Brady and Eli Manning have had success without resembling Greek gods.

Patrick Mahomes es una inspiración para los padres de todo el mundo, pues la superestrella de la NFL está defendiendo su físico después de que se hiciera viral un video suyo donde aparece sin camiseta.

El aspecto del bicampeón del Super Bowl fue puesto bajo la lupa después de que la NFL compartiera imágenes de la celebración en los vestuarios de los Chiefs tras el partido del Campeonato de la AFC el domingo. ¡Y varios apuntaron a la barriga de Mahomes!

Aunque el tipo no tiene sobrepeso ni nada por el estilo, algunos en las redes aparentemente esperaban que estuviera un poco más en forma, teniendo en cuenta que es uno de los mejores atletas del planeta.

El jugador de 28 años se tomó todo con calma, al mismo tiempo que criticó juguetonamente a la NFL por haber publicado el video.

"Yoooo por qué me tienen que hacer esto!!!?!?", dijo Mahomes en broma en su cuenta. "🤣🤣🤣 #DadBodSZN".

¡¡¡¡Tengo hijos!!!! @Chiefs @insidetheNFL @NFL 🤣🤣🤣"

Por supuesto, Mahomes es un feliz padre de dos hijos, Sterling, de 2 años, y Bronze, de 1, por lo que es muy probable que haya tenido que pausar algunos entrenamientos para cuidar de los pequeños.

Varios usuarios que lo defendieron, probablemente padres también, señalaron a otras leyendas como Tom Brady y Eli Manning, que han tenido éxito sin parecer dioses griegos.

Move over, Tom Brady ... Patrick Mahomes' teammate, Justin Reid, says the Chiefs star is making a real-deal run at the NFL's GOAT title!!

In fact, the Kansas City defensive back tells TMZ Sports his quarterback might already have supplanted TB12 for the honor!!

"The guy is a Hall of Famer," Reid said of Mahomes. "First ballot. Probably the best player in NFL history. And he just keeps getting better."

Reid gushed over Mahomes just days after the 28-year-old signal-caller helped the Chiefs beat the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game ... saying point blank he and his squadmates never think they're out of a game as long as Mahomes is under center.

"You can be down 24," he told us. "You can be up 15. Whatever it is -- as long as Fifteen has the ball in his hands, you know you've got a shot to win."

Reid obviously has a little bias -- after all, Mahomes might help earn his second Super Bowl ring next week -- but he might not be wrong.

Pat is about to make his FOURTH trip to the Super Bowl in his sixth season as a starter -- and with two MVPs and six Pro Bowl honors already on his resume ... he'd almost certainly have a bust in Canton in five years if he retired following next week's big game.

Reid also had a bunch of other complimentary things to say about his team ... including kind words for his defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo.

Reid said the assistant coach "really cares" about his players ... and he loves him so much, he's actually created "In Spags We Trust" tees, which he's selling for a good cause.

Patrick Mahomes is continuing to put up big numbers -- but he didn't even have to lift a finger this time around ... 'cause the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's game-worn jersey just sold at an auction for a record-breaking amount!!

Mahomes' No. 15 home threads worn during Week 5 of the 2022 season -- when the Chiefs hosted the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium -- hit the auction block with Goldin recently ... and after 32 bids, it found a new owner for $213,500.

The final price tag is significant -- as it marks the most expensive Mahomes jersey ever sold at auction.

The two-time NFL MVP wore the red jersey as he led his Chiefs squad to victory with 292 yards and four touchdowns ... and it's still in its original shape -- including stains and contact marks.

Speaking of records, Mahomes can move up an important list in a few weeks in Las Vegas -- if he throws two TD passes in the Super Bowl, he will pass Peyton Manning for the 5th-most in NFL postseason history.

If that happens, the 28-year-old will only trail Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Montana, and, of course, Tom Brady ... and all his memorabilia will continue to rise in value.

El hombre que organizó la fiesta para apoyar a los Chiefs y que terminó con tres personas muertas está buscando ayuda para lidiar con las adicciones, y TMZ ha averiguado más información sobre los fallecidos que podrían dar algunas pistas de lo que pasó.

Jordan Willis, quien invitó a varios amigos a su casa en el área de Kansas City para ver a los Chiefs a principios de enero, ahora está buscando tratamiento para superar el abuso de sustancias. Su abogado dice que este "reconoció que tenía un problema con la adicción", después de que sus tres amigos aparecieran muertos en su patio trasero tras una noche viendo fútbol, según informa Fox News.

Recuerden, las familias de estos tres hombres levantaron las alertas luego de varios días sin tener noticias de sus seres queridos. La policía se presentó en casa de Willis el 9 de enero y lo esposó cuando solo estaba en ropa interior, aunque no fue detenido.

Allí encontraron a David Harrington, Ricky Johnson y Clayton McGeeney sin vida en su casa. Un quinto hombre, Alex Waemer-Lee, también asistió al evento, pero al parecer abandonó la fiesta un poco antes.

Ahora, es interesante que Willis vaya a ingresar a rehabilitación porque TMZ ha hecho algunas investigaciones que coinciden con la idea de que esta tragedia podría estar relacionada con las drogas después de todo.

Por ejemplo, hemos averiguado que uno de los hombres, Clayton, tenía conexiones con productos farmacéuticos que podrían arrojar algo de luz: McGeeney tenía una licencia farmacéutica activa que fue emitida el año pasado y que expira a fines de mayo de 2024.

Aunque no sabemos si estaba trabajando en alguna farmacia en particular o practicando la farmacología de alguna manera al momento de su muerte, sí sabemos que la licencia le permitía trabajar como técnico de farmacia si lo deseaba.

Otro hecho interesante es que David Harrington, otro de los hombres que falleció, fue detenido en Colorado en 2011 por posesión de una sustancia controlada de la Lista II aunque parece que terminó con un año de libertad condicional y pagando algunas multas.

No sabemos a ciencia cierta cuál fue la sustancia que dio lugar a la detención de Harrington, pero las drogas que están dentro de la Lista II en Colorado incluyen los opiáceos como la oxicodona y el fentanilo, y otros narcóticos similares.

A primera vista, algunos de estos hechos parecen alinearse con lo que la policía ha mantenido desde el principio, es decir, que no hay evidencia de juego sucio y que por ahora tampoco sospechan de homicidio, aunque la investigación sigue en curso.

Alex Caprariello, un reportero de NewsNation que ha estado cubriendo la historia desde el principio, informó que las familias de las víctimas se están reuniendo con el fiscal del condado de Platte para "discutir la investigación y la posibilidad de un proceso penal".

The man who hosted the ill-fated Kansas City Chiefs watch party that ended with three deaths is reportedly seeking addiction help in rehab -- and TMZ has learned more info about the deceased that could provide clues about what might've happened.

Jordan Willis -- who invited several friends to his K.C.-area home to watch the Chiefs play in early January -- is now seeking treatment for substance abuse -- with his attorney saying he "recognized that he had a problem with addiction" ... this in the aftermath of his three friends turning up dead in his backyard after a night of watching football ... according to Fox News.

Remember ... families of the three men raised the alarm after they hadn't heard from their loved ones for several days. Police showed up at Willis' house on January 9 and placed JW in handcuffs while he was just in his underwear -- though he was not arrested.

They found David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney dead at his home. A fifth man, Alex Waemer-Lee, attended the event but reportedly left the party early.

Now, it's interesting that Willis is heading to rehab -- because TMZ has done some digging that jibes with the notion that this tragedy may, perhaps, be drug-related after all.

For instance, we've learned that one of the men, Clayton, had a connection to pharmaceuticals which might shed some light. We've uncovered that McGeeney had an active pharmacist license which was issued last year and set to expire at the end of May 2024.

While we don't know if he was working at any pharmacy in particular or practicing pharmacology in any way at the time of his death ... we do know the license would allow him to work as a pharmacy technician if he so desired.

Another interesting fact ... David Harrington -- another one of the men who died -- was arrested back in Colorado in 2011 for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance ... although it seems he ended up with just a year of probation and paying some fines.

We don't know for certain what the substance was that resulted in Harrington's arrest, but Schedule II drugs in Colorado include opiates such as oxycodone and fentanyl, and other similar narcotics.

On the face of things, some of these facts appear to line up with what police have maintained since the beginning ... namely, that there's no evidence of foul play, and that for now, they don't suspect homicide either -- though, the investigation remains ongoing.

Alex Caprariello, a NewsNation reporter who's been chasing the story since the beginning, reported the families of the victims are meeting with the Platte County prosecutor to "discuss the ongoing investigation and possibility of criminal prosecution."

Travis Kelce se burló de Justin Tucker por su altercado antes del partido del Campeonato de la AFC, criticando al pateador de los Baltimore Ravens por actuar como un "m***ito i***" y meterse a propósito en el camino de Patrick Mahomes durante el calentamiento.

Ambas partes han seguido reviviendo el viral episodio esta semana, con Tucker, Mahomes y ahora Kelce hablando sobre ella.

Travis no se contuvo al discutir la disputa en su podcast "New Heights" con su hermano Jason el miércoles, diciendo que podía decir que Tucker estaba bromeando, pero los Chiefs no estaban de humor para payasadas.

Kelce explicó que hay una regla no escrita cuando se trata de especialistas: se aseguran de mantenerse fuera del camino de sus oponentes cuando se preparan para un enfrentamiento. Pero Tucker no lo hizo y causó molestia.

"Si quieres ser un jodido imbécil al respecto, toma tu casco, tu balón y tu jodida camiseta de pateador justo donde los quarterbacks calientan", dijo Kelce.

"Si no vas a recoger eso, con gusto lo moveré por ti".

Por supuesto, Kelce demostró ser un hombre de palabra, pues tomó el casco de Tucker y lo lanzó lejos de Mahomes el domingo.

Kelce se disculpó por sus acciones y admitió que Tucker le guiñó un ojo durante el altercado para indicar que solo estaba jugando, pero reiteró que no estaba de humor para bromear.

"Si vas a ser un d*** te prometo que puedo superarte cada vez".

Taylor Swift got a special shoutout from her boo on Wednesday ... with Travis Kelce giving a playful "thank you" to the pop superstar for jumping on the Chiefs bandwagon just in time for their Super Bowl run.

The "Cruel Summer" crooner has been Kelce's biggest supporter since they first started dating last year ... making numerous appearances at home and away matchups, including every game during the Chiefs' current playoff run.

The love hasn't gone unnoticed in the Kelce fam ... with Jason Kelce jokingly congratulating Swift on reaching the biggest sporting event of the year so early in her fandom.

"Shout out to the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom," Jason said on the 'New Heights' podcast. "Taylor Swift who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year."

Travis played along ... adding, "Shout out to Tay! Thanks for joining the team!"

Of course, the Swifties have followed in her footsteps ... tuning in to every Chiefs game to get a glimpse of "mother" catching games from her usual suite seats.

The Traylor craze has left a huge impact on Kelce's jersey sales and TV ratings ... further solidifying the defending Super Bowl champs as the must-see game every week.

Worth noting -- Swift used to show love for her Philadelphia Eagles ... something Travis mentioned when addressing the musician's interaction with his head coach Andy Reid after Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

Travis Kelce just teed off on Justin Tucker over their pregame altercation at the AFC Championship ... calling out the Baltimore Ravens kicker for acting like a "f***ing d***" and purposely getting in Patrick Mahomes' way during warmups.

Both sides of the tiff have continued to breathe life into the viral moment this week ... with Tucker, Mahomes and now Kelce weighing in on it.

Travis didn't hold back when discussing the spat on his "New Heights" podcast with his brother, Jason, on Wednesday ... saying he could tell Tucker was playing around, but the Chiefs weren't in the mood for tomfoolery.

Kelce explained there's an unwritten rule when it comes to specialists -- they make sure to stay out of their opponents' way when prepping for a matchup. But, Tucker didn't do that ... which rubbed him the wrong way.

"If you want to be a f***ing d*** about it, you keep your helmet and your football and your f***ing kicking tee right where the quarterbacks are warming up and they’re dropping, eyes are looking left and they’ve got a helmet down by their feet," Kelce said.

"If you’re not going to pick that up, I’ll happily move that for you."

Of course, Kelce proved to be a man of his word ... taking Tucker's helmet and tossing it away from Mahomes on Sunday.

Kelce apologized for his actions ... admitting Tucker winked at him during the altercation to indicate he was just messing around, but reiterated he was not in a joking mood.

"If you're gonna be a d*** I promise you, I can one-up you every time."

El video de un hombre esposado en ropa interior luego de que la policía descubriera tres cuerpos en su patio trasero acaba de hacerse público, y es solo el último desarrollo de este salvaje caso en Missouri.

Probablemente han oído hablar de esta historia, todo tiene que ver con un hombre llamado Jordan Willis de Kansas City, que fue anfitrión de una fiesta de los Chiefs con algunos amigos en su casa a principios de enero, y que terminó con 3 de ellos muertos en su propiedad días más tarde.

La historia es absolutamente descabellada y todavía encierra muchos misterios. Esto es lo que la policía sabe con certeza: en algún momento después de la fiesta del 7 de enero, las familias de 3 de los asistentes a la reunión (David Harrington, Ricky Johnson y Clayton McGeeney) denunciaron su desaparición, ya que nadie había visto ni oído hablar de ellos después de esa noche.

La gente trató de contactar al propio Willis, pero este también estuvo fuera del radar durante un par de días hasta que los oficiales llegaron a su casa el 9 de enero. Al parecer abrió la puerta con una copa de vino en la mano y vistiendo nada más que calzoncillos.

Y eso es exactamente lo que se ve en este nuevo video, que acaba de aparecer por cortesía del reportero Alex Caprariello, de NewsNation, fruto de su reporteo.

En el clip se puede ver a un vecino grabando a la policía camino a la casa de Willis y luego el momento en que lo detienen.

Y sí, está en ropa interior, tal como habían indicado los informes desde el principio.

Vale la pena señala que aunque Willis podría haber terminado esposado en el momento, luego de que los agentes descubrieran los cuerpos congeladosde Harrington, Johnson y McGeeney, en el patio trasero de Willis, NO fue arrestado o acusado de un delito, y no lo ha sido hasta el momento.

La policía dice que no hay sospecha de crimen violento hasta el momento e incluso están diciendo a su manera que no lo están considerando como un homicidio, a pesar de algunos detalles preocupantes que tienen al público tomándose la cabeza.

Willis, por su parte, ha negado cualquier conocimiento acerca de cómo sus amigos aparecieron muertos en su patio trasero y dice que ni siquiera era consciente de que alguien los estaba buscando. Ha negado tener cualquier relación con su muerte, a pesar de la indignación colectiva de las familias.

Video of a man being handcuffed in his underwear as police discovered three dead bodies in his backyard is finally surfacing -- the latest development in this wild case out of Missouri.

You've probably heard of this by now -- it all has to do with this guy named Jordan Willis in Kansas City, who was hosting a Chiefs watch party at his house back in early January with some friends ... only for 3 of them to turn up as stiff corpses on his property days later.

The story is absolutely insane ... and it's still shrouded in mystery. Here's what cops know for sure though -- at some point after the watch party on Jan. 7, families for 3 of the attendees at Willis' get-together (David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney) reported them missing ... as no one had seen or heard from these men after that evening.

People had attempted to contact Willis himself, of course, but he too was off the radar for a couple days -- that is, until officers arrived at his home on Jan. 9 ... where he reportedly answered the door with a wineglass in hand ... and wearing nothing but tighty-whities.

That's exactly what you're seeing in this new video here, which just popped up courtesy of NewsNation reporter Alex Caprariello, who says he obtained it through his reporting.

In the brief clip ... you can see a neighbor recording the police run-in Willis experienced that night -- capturing all the officers who responded to the scene ... and them detaining Willis.

And yes, he indeed in his underwear ... just as reports have indicated from the get-go.

It's worth noting, while Willis might've landed in handcuffs here in the moment -- after which officers discovered the bodies of Harrington, Johnson and McGeeney, frozen to death in Willis' backyard -- he did NOT get arrested or charged with a crime ... and hasn't as of yet.

Police there are saying no foul play is suspected thus far in the investigation -- and they're even going out of their way to say this is not being looked into as a homicide ... despite some troubling details that have the public doing double takes and scratching their heads.

Willis, for his part, has denied any knowledge about how his friends turned up dead in his backyard ... and says he wasn't even aware anyone was looking for them. He's denied having anything to do with their demise ... this despite the families' collective outrage.

Patrick Mahomes believes Justin Tucker being all up in his space before the AFC Championship Game was no accident ... claiming the Ravens kicker's pregame run-in was an attempt to get under the Chiefs' skin.

The incident was all the talk before kickoff on Sunday ... with Mahomes and Travis Kelce getting into it with the veteran NFL kicker over his spot on the field while both sides were trying to warm up for the big playoff game.

Tucker downplayed the incident on Monday ... calling the whole thing "silly," but Mahomes clearly doesn't see it that way -- accusing the All-Pro specialist of going out of his way to play some mind games on the defending Super Bowl champions.

"He does that little stuff, I think to try to get under our skin," Mahomes said Tuesday on The Drive on Audacy's 610 Sports Radio. "I asked him to move his stuff. He got up and moved it, I think, two inches but didn’t move it out of the way. I was gonna let it slide, but Travis got in and moved it for me. And after that, I wasn’t gonna let him put it back down."

Mahomes said he's only had similar issues three times in his NFL career ... and each happened to be before games against the Ravens.

"I have a lot of respect for him as a player, one of the best kickers of all time, probably the best kicker of all time," he added. "But at the same time, you’ve got to have respect for each team, and we all share the field, and we try to do that in a respectful way."

Taylor Swift ha estado presente en los partidos de su novio Travis Kelce para animarlo, pero este no va a devolverle la mano durante su gran noche en los Grammy, aunque por una buena razón.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs va a llegar a Las Vegas el mismo fin de semana de los Grammys, donde él y su equipo estarán bajo un estricto horario estricto antes de enfrentarse a los 49ers para el Super Bowl.

Esto mata cualquier esperanza de los Swifties de que Travis Kelce esté junto Taylor en los Grammys como su acompañante. Estos se dieron cuenta de que su lugar en el Super Bowl significaba que ya no jugaría en el Pro Bowl el mismo día, y por lo tanto, técnicamente estaría libre para aparecer en los Grammys con Tay Tay.

Por desgracia, eso no va a suceder. Nuestras fuentes dicen que no hay ninguna posibilidad de que Travis aparezca en Los Ángeles este fin de semana. Por lo tanto, parece que Taylor tendrá que encontrar compañía en otro lugar o incluso viajar sola para la noche de glamour de este fin de semana, donde ella opta a 6 premios.

Por supuesto, este conflicto en sus agendas no parece ser un problema en el paraíso de estos dos. Recuerden que él acaba de hacerle la gran declaración de amor después de que los Chiefs ganaron su paso al Super Bowl tras una victoria 17-10 sobre los Ravens de Baltimore. Lo que significa, que están muy bien como pareja.

Mientras Taylor ha estado inundando a Travis de caricias y abrazos para apoyarlo durante sus partidos, muchos NFL'ers han estado criticando a la cantante por tomar protagonismo en los juegos, a pesar de que ella no tiene control sobre las cámaras del estadio, algo que ambos han dejado muy claro en diferentes oportunidades.

Por su parte, Travis es totalmente consciente del veneno dirigido a su mujer y le ha dicho a los reporteros que antes de los partidos discuten sobre cómo bloquear el "ruido exterior".

Afortunadamente para él, no tendrá que escuchar nada de esto en la gran noche de la música. Su mente está estrictamente centrada en el fútbol en este momento y su novia es más que capaz de manejar su negocio en el ojo público.
