Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal have a unique and humorous dynamic as co-analysts on TNT’s Inside The NBA. Recently, Barkley appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he was asked if he found Shaq sexy. Without hesitation, Barkley responded with a resounding “Hell No!” This may come as a surprise to Shaq, who considers himself one of the sexiest superstars in the NBA. Barkley even mentioned how Shaq was ranked as the ninth sexiest bald man by GQ, but quickly debunked it by stating that Shaq was ranked ninth in GQ South Africa, not in America. Barkley’s candidness continued when he claimed that Shaq is ugly in all 50 states.

However, Gayle King came to Shaq’s defense, stating that he was good-looking. Barkley couldn’t resist poking fun at King’s opinion, saying, “I love the big fella. He’s a great guy. But he’s not attractive.” When asked about the sexiest stars in the NBA, Barkley didn’t include any players on his list. Instead, he mentioned actors Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, Rob Lowe, and NFL legend Tom Brady. Barkley even ranked himself higher than Michael Jordan in terms of looks. This isn’t the first time Barkley has denied Jordan’s attractiveness. Back in 2005, on Oprah Winfrey’s show, Barkley boldly stated that Jordan wasn’t handsome. Despite Barkley’s teasing, Jordan took it in stride and found the comments amusing. It seems that Barkley’s opinion hasn’t changed over the years.

Lurie, who has been at the helm of the Eagles for over two decades, expressed his confidence in Kelce’s ability to lead the team into a new era. “Jason Kelce is not only a beloved figure in Philadelphia, but also a proven leader on and off the field. I am confident that he will bring a fresh perspective and renewed energy to the organization,” Lurie stated.

Kelce, known for his passionate and fiery playing style, has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to take on this new role. “I am honored and humbled by the trust placed in me by Jeffrey Lurie and the entire Eagles organization. I am committed to upholding the proud tradition of this team and working tirelessly to bring success to the city of Philadelphia,” Kelce remarked.

As the news continues to reverberate across the league, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Kelce’s leadership will shape the future of the Eagles. With this unexpected transition, all eyes are now on Jason Kelce as he embarks on this new chapter in his football career.

Taylor Swift made a dazzling appearance alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at the 2024 Met Gala, marking their first public outing together in eight years. The couple, currently residing blissfully in Los Angeles, had been rumored to be planning a grand entrance at this year’s Met Gala.

Insiders hinted at their attendance through various clues. Leaked guest lists included the names of renowned celebrities like Zena Margo Robbie, Jenna Ortega, Lana Del Rey, Bad Bunny, and Kim Kardashian, alongside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Notably, both Swift and Kelce had kept their schedules clear for May 6th, 2024, the day of the Met Gala, indicating their intention to grace the event.

Adding to the speculation, Swift’s stylist, Joseph Castle, began engaging with the gala’s organizers, even following the Met Gala’s official Instagram page. Such actions fueled anticipation, especially considering Swift’s absence from the event since 2016, when she attended with her then-boyfriend, actor Tom Heston.

The theme of this year’s gala, “Sleeping Beauty Reawakening Fashion,” set against the backdrop of “The Garden of Time,” seemed tailor-made for Swift’s whimsical style. Fans eagerly awaited her interpretation of the poetic theme, expecting a stunning ensemble that would align perfectly with her new Poets Department era.

Moreover, it was confirmed that Travis Kelce, the Super Bowl champion, would make his debut on the Met Gala red carpet alongside his superstar girlfriend. With Taylor Swift’s history at the gala, discussions about the couple’s appearance were inevitable, promising an evening filled with excitement and admiration for the pair.

The Chicago Bulls were known for their high-flying star Michael Jordan, but Scottie Pippen also played a crucial role on the team. However, Pippen often felt overshadowed by Jordan and believed that coach Phil Jackson favored Jordan too much. Pippen wanted Jackson to run specific plays for him, like he did for other players.

He saw this as a lack of respect and it strained his relationship with Jordan. Pippen’s resentment towards Jordan and Jackson may have been fueled by the documentary “The Last Dance,” where he revealed untold stories and made outrageous claims. This eventually led to Pippen refusing to play in a crucial game. Despite this, Phil Jackson still coached the team to victory but never fully trusted Pippen again.

The Kansas City Chiefs executed the L’Jarius Sneed trade this offseason in large part to create long-term cap flexibility. While the Chris Jones contract is already signed and some other integral players are locked up, there are contract extensions on the horizon that reportedly could force Kansas City to break the bank.

Kansas City is retaining a majority of its core players that helped it become repeat Super Bowl winners. However, there is trouble on the horizon. The Chiefs knew that keeping Sneed on the franchise tag meant losing him in NFL free agency next offseason and the team likely couldn’t have even made him. a priority.

Kansas City Chiefs free agents 2025: Justin Reid, Trey Smith, Marquise Brown, Creed Humphrey, Nick Bolton, Charles Omenihu

Multiple Chiefs’ starters are eligible to test the open market next offseason. Among them are interior offensive linemen Trey Smith and Crede Humphrey along with starting off-ball linebacker Nick Bolton and wide receiver Marquise Brown. Kansas City wants to prevent a few of them from hitting free agency, but that comes at a cost.

Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team believes that Humphrey tries to get a contract worth at least $17 million per season in a contract extension, which would easily make him the highest-paid center in the NFL.

Creed Humphrey contract (Spotrac): $4.815 million base salary in 2024, $5.241 million cap hit

For context, Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow is currently the highest-paid player at the position with a $13.5 million average annual salary. Before his retirement, Jason Kelce led centers in AAV at $14.25 million. Humphrey could pass those marks by at least $3 million per year.

Humphrey, entering the final year of his rookie deal, was the 63rd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2022. A two-time Pro Bowl selection who is widely viewed as one of the best interior offensive linemen in the NFL, the Chiefs will likely prioritize Humphrey among all their impending free agents in 2025.

It’s been a rollercoaster season for the Chiefs are winning their second Super Bowl in a row. The team had to make some room to trade and release some of their stars. However, the wideout position is probably the most important, especially for Patrick Mahomes. There wasn’t any reliability in their wide receiving corps so this may be why they released Valdes-Scantling.

The ongoing Rashee Rice investigation clearly shows that they need a starting receiver. Boyd could fill that hole quickly.

NFL Players Who Will Benefit Most from 2024 Free-Agency Roster Changes | Bleacher Report

Marquise Brown, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

Marquise Brown struck gold in free agency by signing a one-year, $7 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. He’ll now be catching passes from Patrick Mahomes, which should put him in line for a much larger contract next offseason.

Mahomes has led the NFL in touchdown passes twice over the past six seasons. He also threw for a league-leading 5,250 yards in 2022.

Brown played with quarterback Lamar Jackson when Jackson won his first league MVP in 2019, but the Baltimore Ravens operated a run-heavy offense (No. 1 in rushing attempts) under former offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Last year with the Arizona Cardinals, Brown played with backup quarterbacks in the first half of the season while Kyler Murray recovered from a torn ACL. Though Murray returned to action in Week 10, Brown missed the last three games with a heel injury.

Assuming Brown stays healthy, he’ll have plenty of opportunities to rack up big numbers in a contract year.

Mahomes hasn’t missed a start because of an injury since 2019, and there are question marks among his pass-catching corps. At 34, tight end Travis Kelce could see a slight decline in targets. Meanwhile, the league could suspend wideout Rashee Rice for his involvement in a recent car accident in Dallas.

Brown could post career highs across multiple receiving categories as a key contributor in the Chiefs’ aerial attack.

Now, sports analyst Chris Broussard has raised the question whether Stroud could potentially challenge Patrick Mahomes, who just clinched his second consecutive Super Bowl victory.

Broussard believes so, suggesting that while Stroud may not yet be on Mahomes’ level, he has the potential to become a top contender. Despite acknowledging Stroud’s talent, Broussard emphasizes that being compared to Mahomes is premature given Stroud’s rookie status and limited experience.

“I’m not gonna sit here and say that CJ Stroud is right now, definitely is better than Lamar or Josh and Joe Burrow,” Broussard told First Things First.

A Look Back at Every Fifth-Round Draft Pick in Chiefs History | The Mothership

– Tight end Noah Gray, one of two fifth-round selections for the Chiefs in 2021 (No. 162 overall), caught 28 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns in 2023.

– Defensive end Mike Danna, who the Chiefs selected with the No. 177 overall pick in 2020, has recorded 39 quarterback hits, 17 tackles-for-loss and 17 sacks in 59 games (23 starts) over the last four seasons. His sack total has increased each year, culminating in a 6.5-sack effort in 2023.

– Former wide receiver Carlos Carson, who was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 2017, played in the most games (120) in a Chiefs uniform of any fifth-round pick in franchise history.

Titans CB L’Jarius Sneed excited to learn from Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins: I’ve ‘never had two elite’ WRs like them | NFL.com

Following his trade from Kansas City, Sneed now has two big-name wide receivers in DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley to line up against every practice, an aspect he believes will add yet another layer to his game.

“To get out there and work with them elite wide receivers, I never had two elite guys like them, going up against them every day,” Sneed said this week on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “I had great players, but them two guys, household names, they stick out. I can’t wait to get to work with those guys. I know they’re gonna make me better in practice, and I can’t wait to pick both of their brains on how to get better. What they see. What my weakness is from their eyes and not from other guys I’ve been playing with for four years. I want new guys looking from the outside in.”

The Chiefs obviously made do after moving on from Tyreek Hill following 2021, finishing both seasons since with a Super Bowl victory, but Kansas City hasn’t employed a true No. 1 WR in either year.

Texas has two top-ranked receiver prospects in Mitchell and Xavier Worthy. I have the Chiefs choosing Mitchell largely due to his size (6-foot-4, 190 pounds).

Patriots agree to terms with S Kyle Dugger on four-year extension worth up to $66 million | NFL.com

The Patriots agreed to terms with safety Kyle Dugger on a four-year, $58 million extension that can be worth up to $66 million and comes with $32.5 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Sunday morning along with NFL.com’s Eric Edholm.

The extension takes place of the transition tag that New England placed on Dugger in March.

That tag, which was worth $13.8 million, was a one-year tender based of the average of the safety position’s 10 highest salaries. Dugger’s new deal beats that out with a $14.5 million per-year average to move him up to the sixth-highest earner at his position, plus the added years of security to boot.

Chiefs Salary Cap: QB Carson Wentz will cost the team $3.3 million in 2024

As laid out on the salary-cap site Spotrac, the ninth-year veteran will earn a fully-guaranteed base salary of $1,210,000 and is being paid a signing bonus of $990,000.

Wentz — like many Kansas City players — is also carrying a roster bonus against the salary cap. In his case, it’s for $25,000. Finally, he’s set to earn as much as $1.1 million in per-game roster bonuses, which works out to about $64,706 for each game.

It’s important to note that Wentz will earn these roster bonuses simply by being active on game day; it won’t matter if he actually plays. So it’s very likely that he will be paid every dime of that $1.1 million this season.

But since Wentz was active for only eight 2023 matchups for the Los Angeles Rams, just eight of these per-game bonuses — a total of $517,647 — are considered likely-to-be-earned (LTBE) and will count against the 2024 salary cap. If earned, the rest will count against the 2025 cap calculation.
