Philadelphia Eagles

Jason Kelce está revisando los rumores que rodean la historia de amor potencial de su hermano, diciendo que cree plenamente que Travis y Taylor Swift están saliendo.

Pero tranquilos Swifties... claramente era una broma.

Le preguntamos a la estrella de los Eagles una vez más acerca de los recientes informes de que Travis y Taylor estaban saliendo durante su aparición en SportsRadio 94 WIP de Audacy el miércoles por la mañana ... y mientras afirmaba que no se mantiene al día con el estado de la relación del ala cerrada de los Chiefs, luego echó leña al fuego de la especulación.

"Es difícil responder porque realmente no sé mucho sobre la vida amorosa de Travis", dijo Jason. "Intento mantener sus asuntos más o menos en su terreno, mantenerme al margen de ese mundo. Pero, dicho esto, creo que lo está haciendo muy bien y creo que todo es 100% verdad".

Jason rápidamente le dio vuelta al asunto admitiendo que no tenía ni idea de lo que estaba pasando entre los dos. Nada en absoluto.

Los comentarios de Jason son bastante interesantes, sin embargo uno pensaría que si Travis y Taylor estaban realmente saliendo probablemente le diría a su hermano que no debería hablar de ello ¿verdad?

Aquí va otra teoría: Traylor (así es como los llamaríamos si realmente fueran pareja) son sólo casuales y realmente no les importa quién lo sepa, por lo que Jason hablando de ello realmente no sería importante.

Nota interesante: Jason dijo que estaba "sorprendido" por la pregunta de Tony González en Thursday Night Football la semana pasada ya que fue la primera vez que alguien cercano a Travis se refirió a los rumores.

Vikings star Alexander Mattison says over 60 people sent him disturbing messages following his game Thursday night ... revealing some contained disgusting racial slurs.

The Minnesota tailback said the notes poured into his Instagram message box shortly after he had a down game in the Vikes' 34-28 loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia.

He shared screenshots of two of the DMs on his IG stories -- and, in both, you can read he was called the N-word. The writers also told Mattison he should die by suicide.

The 25-year-old said the words really affected him ... writing in a caption on the screen grabs "this s*** is unacceptable."

"Under my helmet, I am a human," he said. "A father.. A son. This is sick. SMH."

Mattison took over the Vikings' starting running back reins this year following Dalvin Cook's offseason departure ... but through two games so far, he's totaled just 83 combined receiving and rushing yards -- and in Thursday night's defeat, he lost a fumble.

Mattison explained on his social media page that he's OK with people telling him "you suck" over his play on the field ... but he said the latest batch of messages just simply crossed a line.

"SMFH," he wrote. "This is not OK."

Since he shared the screen grabs, several fans have rushed to the comment section on his most recent post to send words of encouragement.

Mattison and the Vikings play next on Sept. 24 against the Chargers.

¿Son Travis Kelce y Taylor Swift pareja? El hermano mayor de la superestrella de la NFL no quiso desvelar nada el jueves por la noche aunque dio una pista que sugiere que los rumores podrían ser ciertos.

Justo después de que Jason Kelce y los Eagles vencieran a los Minnesota Vikings en Filadelfia, el pívot estrella y su quarterback, Jalen Hurts, acudieron al plató de Amazon Prime después del partido para lo que pensaban que sería una charla sobre fútbol.

Sin embargo, al poco de empezar la conversación, el miembro del Salón de la Fama (Tony Gonzalez) sacó a relucir la vida amorosa del hermano de Jason.

"Tengo una hija de 15 años", le dijo el ex tight end a la estrella de los Eagles. "Y ella es una gran fan de cierta estrella del pop. Y tú tienes un familiar —un hermano, creo— y he estado escuchando rumores de que tal vez hay algo entre ellos... ¿hay algo que nos puedas comentar?"

A Jason se le dibujó una gran sonrisa en la cara y aunque al principio eludió la pregunta diciéndole a Tony: "He escuchado esos rumores. No puedo hacer comentarios", cuando se explayó más, no hizo mucho para disimular.

"Desde 'Catching Kelce', todo el mundo está obsesionado con la vida amorosa de Travis", dijo Jason. "Así que no sé muy bien qué está pasando ahí. Así que sí, sé que Trav se está divirtiendo. Veremos qué pasa con quien sea que termine".

Travis y Taylor fueron vinculados por primera vez en julio cuando el tight end de los Chiefs asistió a su concierto en el Arrowhead Stadium con un plan inteligente para darle su número. Aunque Travis dijo que el plan finalmente fracasó, ha habido rumores desde entonces de que los dos encontraron una manera de salir en las semanas posteriores.

Ni Travis, que tuvo su última relación seria y pública con la modelo Kayla Nicole en 2022, ni Taylor han hecho comentarios públicos sobre el asunto.

Are Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift an item? The NFL superstar's older brother wouldn't spill the beans on Thursday night -- though he did give a hint that suggested there might be at least some truth to the rumors.

Just after Jason Kelce and the Eagles whooped up on the Minnesota Vikings in Philadelphia ... the star center and his quarterback, Jalen Hurts, hit the Amazon Prime postgame set for what they thought would be some football talk.

A short time into the conversation, though, Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez brought up Jason's brother's love life.

"I have a 15-year-old daughter," the ex-tight end said to the Eagles star. "And, she's a big fan of a certain pop star. And, you have a family member -- a brother, I think -- and I've been hearing rumors that there's maybe some stuff. Can you comment?"

Jason got a big smile on his face ... and while he initially side-stepped the question -- telling Tony, "I've seen these rumors. I cannot comment" -- when he expounded further, he didn't do much to dispel the chatter.

"Ever since 'Catching Kelce,' everybody's been infatuated with Travis' love life," Jason said. "So, I don't really know what's going on there. So, yeah, I know Trav is having fun. We'll see what happens with whoever he ends up with."

Travis and Taylor were first linked to each other back in July ... when the Chiefs tight end attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium with a clever plan to give her his number. While Travis said the scheme ultimately failed, there's been rumors ever since that the two found a way to hang out in the weeks afterward.

Neither Travis, who was last in a serious, public relationship with model Kayla Nicole in 2022, nor Taylor has commented publicly on the matter.

Cameron Weiss -- the agent for NFL superstar Austin Ekeler -- has tragically died at 38 years old.

Weiss' agency, Dynamic Sports Group, announced the heartbreaking news on Monday afternoon .. saying in a statement that Weiss "will be greatly missed."

According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, Weiss had been in a lengthy battle with cancer before his passing.

"Cameron was a remarkable individual who touched and impacted the lives of so many," Dynamic Sports Group leaders said in their statement. "His dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to his family, friends and clients will always be remembered."

The group added, "Moving forward at Dynamic Sports Group, Cam's legacy will live on as we continue to serve our family of clients and he would have."

Ekeler mourned Weiss' death on social media ... writing in a comment, "He will always be a part of my story."

"Rest in piece brotha."

In addition to Ekeler, Weiss represented a bevy of other NFL players in their pursuits of contracts over the past few years ... including Eagles tailback Boston Scott and former Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Michael Sam.

Zach Bryan is speaking out about his dramatic arrest in Oklahoma ... and he's putting all the blame squarely on himself.

In a video statement posted to X, the Country singer gave a detailed account of what happened with law enforcement in Craig County.

Bryan says it all started three days ago when he was driving through the small town of Vinita and got pulled over for going just over the speed limit.

He says the officer came up to his window and asked for his license, registration and home address. But he refused to give out his address, explaining he didn't feel comfortable since he's a musician.

The cop threatened to take Bryan to jail if he didn't comply. Bryan wouldn't budge, prompting the officer to put him in handcuffs.

Bryan asked why the officer was doing this. The two bantered back and forth until Bryan turned over his address.

At that point, the officer uncuffed and released Bryan with a warning.

Then, on Thursday, Bryan and his security guard were driving in separate vehicles on their way to Boston, Massachusetts.

Bryan spotted a cop pulling over his bodyguard in Vinita. He circled back and parked behind them.

After waiting 15 minutes, Bryan became impatient and got out of his car to see what was taking so long.

The officer demanded Bryan get back into his vehicle, but he ignored the order, leading to his arrest. Bryan was booked into the county jail for obstruction of investigation and later released.

In his video statement, Bryan accepted full responsibility for his actions, calling them ridiculous, childish and immature.

Zach Bryan got arrested in Oklahoma ... TMZ has learned.

The country music star was arrested Thursday in Vinita, OK and booked on an obstruction of investigation charge ... according to online jail records.

TMZ obtained Zach's mug shot, which he took at Craig County Jail, and he's mostly without an expression.

It's unclear what led to his arrest.

On the same day he was arrested, Zach's Instagram account posted a photo of farmland from a car window, with the caption ... "On the road again, gonna go see the birds win."

Zach's an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan and the NFL team plays its season-opening game Sunday against the New England Patriots in Massachusetts ... so it's possible Zach was driving to the game when he got busted.

The son of ex-NFL star Hugh Douglas was tragically killed in a car crash on Monday ... the younger Douglas' college announced this week.

He was just 20 years old.

According to police documents, obtained by The Philadelphia Inquirer, the accident occurred at around 5 PM in the Atlanta area. Police say Douglas' son, Hugh, and his Morehouse College roommate, Christion Files Jr., had been driving at a high rate of speed when their car careened off the road, hit two utility poles and flipped over.

Both men were pronounced deceased at the scene.

In its announcement of the tragedy, Morehouse College said the loss of the two "is deeply felt by all of us in the Morehouse family."

"Hugh Douglas was an exceptional student who displayed immense dedication and promise in pursuing a business administration degree with a concentration in finance," the school said, adding, "Christion Files Jr. was a remarkable young man who made his mark academically and in extracurricular activities."

The elder Douglas -- who made three Pro Bowls with the Philadelphia Eagles in the early 2000s -- has been posting tributes to his son throughout the past few days on X ... writing in one of them on Wednesday, "Your father is the only man that is truly happy you are better than them. You made me so proud."

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni expressed his condolences to the Douglas family on Tuesday -- saying in a press conference that he had always been told Douglas' son was "an unbelievable kid."

Kenneth Gainwell's feet are going to be looking out of this (Astro)world when the Eagles take the field next week ... 'cause the tailback just copped some awesome Travis Scott-inspired cleats for Philadelphia's opener!!

TMZ Sports has learned the footballer reached out to cleat master Rodney Jackson to get some heat for the Birds' Week 1 game against the Patriots ... asking for some spikes that resembled the exclusive Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG Olive F&F pair that pays homage to Scott's new album, "Utopia."

Of course, Jackson -- who's been in the custom cleats business since 2015 -- didn't take long to deliver the goods ... whipping up an amazing pair in about three and a half weeks.

You can see the spikes look exactly like the AJ1 x Travis Scotts ... all the way down to the "Utopia" branding on the back -- and Jackson said he was super happy with how they came out.

"I wanted to capture every detail of the shoe and the right leather texture," Jackson tells us.

Gainwell -- a former fifth-round pick out of Memphis -- will have a big opportunity to show them off against New England ... he's expected to be a workhorse for Philly following the departure of last year's starter, Miles Sanders.

The Philadelphia Eagles had to go through not one but two terrifying moments during their preseason game on Thursday night ... when a duo of their players needed stretchers to leave the field after sustaining scary injuries.

The moments happened in the second half of the Eagles' 18-18 tie against the Browns in Philadelphia ... when receiver Tyrie Cleveland and defensive lineman Moro Ojomo hurt their necks on separate plays.

Tyrie's looked the most horrifying ... in the third quarter of the contest, he jumped up to haul in a pass -- but when he came down, he landed awkwardly on his head. He stayed on the turf for several minutes ... before he was strapped to a backboard and carted off.

One quarter later ... Ojomo was going in to make a tackle on a scrambling quarterback, when his teammate came in and accidentally collided with the back of his neck. He, too, stayed on the ground for minutes -- before requiring a stretcher to leave the field.

The Eagles ruled both guys out of the game almost immediately ... though, thankfully, the team said each one did have movement in all their extremities.

"I haven't talked to the doctors yet, but it sounds like they're moving around," head coach Nick Sirianni said after the game. "I don't know anything else besides that."

Four other Eagles players were injured in the contest as well -- including first-round pick Nolan Smith -- though none of their ailments were considered as serious as Cleveland and Ojomo's.

Jalen Hurts continues to win on and off the field ... after leading his team to the Super Bowl and signing a contract extension worth $250+ million, the Eagles' superstar QB just inked a deal with Jordan Brand!

Jordan revealed the partnership on social media on Monday morning, writing ... "Before anyone ever had an opinion, @jalenhurts had a purpose. Welcome to the Family."

Jalen was rocking the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low sneaker for the announcement ... the first of many shoes the Pro Bowler will surely spotlight over the years.

The 25-year-old now joins fellow QBs Dak Prescott and Bryce Young as the other signal callers repping the Jumpman logo ... while guys like Davante Adams, Deebo Samuel and Cam Jordan are also signed to the label.

Although the former Oklahoma star is newly signed to Jordan, the Eagles captain wore player-exclusive Jordans for all of last season, including during Philly's 2022 playoffs run.

Hurts put up career highs across the board last year, throwing for 3,701 yards and 22 touchdowns, while also rushing for 13 scores.

Jalen finished second in the 2022 Most Valuable Player award voting.

DeVonta Smith cared so much about supporting Henry Ruggs during his sentencing hearing on Wednesday ... the Eagles star was reportedly excused from practice so he could be there in person.

The former Heisman Trophy winner, according to Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jeff McLane, left Birds camp in Philly in order to be in Las Vegas for Ruggs' proceedings.

At the hearing, Ruggs was sentenced to three-to-10 years in prison over the 2021 car crash that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog -- though it's unclear if Smith actually made it into the courtroom for the ruling.

Of course, Smith and Ruggs formed a great friendship during their time at Alabama ... the two were roommates, and Smith said back in 2021 before the accident that they had always "dreamed of" playing against one another in the NFL.

In fact, Smith added at the time that he considered Ruggs "my brother from another mother."

Following the crash, Smith said he was heartbroken over the tragedy ... explaining he had to lean on his teammates to help him get through the shock of it.

Ruggs, meanwhile, apologized to Tintor's family at the hearing ... saying in a statement to the courtroom that he knows he "hurt so many" with his actions.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Josh Sills was found not guilty on rape and kidnapping charges on Friday ... and he is now expected to rejoin his team.

As we previously reported, the 25-year-old was indicted less than two weeks before Super Bowl LVII last year ... following a three-year investigation into the allegations made by a former high school classmate.

Sills, who was in Ohio at the time, was accused of forcing the woman to perform oral sex on him for approximately 20 minutes while he drove her home in his truck, according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

Following four days of testimony and three hours of deliberation in an Ohio court ... Sills was acquitted of both charges.

"I'd like to thank you for everything you’ve done," Sills said after the acquittal, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

"I'd like to thank my family for supporting me from day one. I've done nothing wrong, and am glad that was proven today."

As a rookie, Sills appeared in just one game for the Eagles last season.

Travis Kelce básicamente vive en la zona de anotación, pero no pudo anotar con Taylor Swift, porque el campeón del Super Bowl dice que no pudo dar a la superestrella del pop su número de teléfono en su reciente concierto.

El ala cerrada de los Kansas City Chiefs detalló su plan maestro para conquistarla durante la parada de la gira Eras de Taylor en el estadio Arrowhead en su podcast "New Heights" esta semana, diciendo que hizo pulseras de la amistad con su número de teléfono en ellas con la esperanza de dar una a la cantante recientemente soltera.

Kelce explicó que estaba desanimado al enterarse de Swift no se reúne con nadie antes de subir al escenario en un esfuerzo por preservar su voz, así que mala suerte para Travis.

"Me decepcionó que no hablara antes o después de sus conciertos porque tiene que guardar su voz para las 44 canciones que canta, así que me dio un poco de rabia no poder darle una de las pulseras que hice para ella", le dijo Kelce a su hermano Jason.

"Ella no se ve con nadie, o al menos no quería verme a mí así que me lo tomé como algo personal".

Jason bromeó con que el rechazo tuvo que ser porque Swift es una gran fan de los Eagles y probablemente no se haya recuperado de la derrota en la Super Bowl ante los Chiefs, pero Travis —que rompió con Kayla Nicole en 2022— se lo toma todo con calma, diciendo que no obstante, fue un gran momento.

Travis Kelce basically lives in the end zone, but he couldn't score with Taylor Swift ... 'cause the Super Bowl champ says he failed to give the pop superstar his phone number at her recent concert.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end detailed his master plan to shoot his shot during Taylor's Eras tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium on his "New Heights" podcast this week ... saying he made friendship bracelets with his phone number on them in hopes of giving one to the recently single singer.

Kelce explained he was bummed to find out Swift doesn't meet with anyone prior to taking the stage in an effort to preserve her voice ... so baby, now they've got bad blood.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," Kelce told his brother, Jason.

"She doesn't meet anybody -- or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personal."

Jason joked the rejection had to be because Swift is a big Eagles fan and probably not over the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs ... but Travis -- who called things off with Kayla Nicole in 2022 -- is taking it all in stride, saying it was a great time nonetheless.

The NFL's full of blazing-fast guys, but there's one who's a little bit quicker than the rest ... and no, it's not Tyreek Hill.

That distinction belongs to 28-year-old Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Devon Allen ... who happens to be an elite-level hurdler. The 3x track national champ and NCAA football champ recently competed in a USATF event in NYC, where he clocked a 13.04, the fourth-fastest time in the world in 2023.

Days after the race (where Devon finished 2nd), TMZ Sports talked to the former Oregon track star and 2x Olympian ... and asked him if he was the fastest player in the league.

"I definitely am [the fastest]," Allen said matter of factly.

Of course, Hill (60m) and DK Metcalf (100m), two bonafide stars considered among the fastest in the league, also recently tried their hand on the track ... something Devon says he respects.

"I'm not gonna roast those guys because what they did was impressive. I raced Tyreek Hill when I was in high school. We raced and he smoked me when we were in high school and DK Metcalf ran a 10.3 a couple years ago is super impressive for a guy that's 6'4", 6'3", 225, but I think especially at the top level, top 5, top 10 in the world, there's a big gap in terms of just performance."

We also talked to Devon, who once ran a 12.84 in the 110m hurdles (the world record is 12.80), about his return to football ... after a 6-year layoff following college, when he focused solely on track.

"The first whirlwind for me was training camp, getting thrown into the fire, and realizing this isn't college anymore. I played at the University of Oregon, which is high-level ball, but the NFL takes it the another level," Allen told us.
