Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have posed in their Super Bowl jerseys for the first time ahead of Sunday’s big game.

The Chiefs landed in Las Vegas on Sunday night ahead of a busy week of preparation before they take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium.

The Chiefs are aiming to win back-to-back Super Bowls and are making their fourth appearance in five years.

Andy Reid’s team took time out of their busy schedule to pose for the official pre-game pictures with Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and an array of other stars all featuring.

In his, Kelce can be seen rubbing his hands together and smirking as he plots the 49ers’ downfall.

Kelce will no doubt be confident of continuing his fine form in the playoffs, after he scored in the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Patrick Mahomes looks more serious in his photo, posing as though he’s about to throw one of his trademark passes.

It has not been the smoothest preparation for Mahomes so far.

The quarterback’s father, 53, was arrested by the Tyler Police Department on at least his third DWI on Saturday night in Texas.

He is being held on a $10,000 bond. Mahomes Sr., who is a 6’4 former professional baseball pitcher, is currently in custody at the Smith County Jail.

Mahomes Sr. has been arrested a total of six times for driving while intoxicated, according to public booking records – twice in 2012, twice in 2018, once in 2019, and now once in 2024.

On his DWI charge in 2018, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 40 days in county jail on weekends during 2019 and 2020.

After two DWI convictions in Texas, the third DWI offense is classed as a third degree felony. The maximum fine is $10,000, and the maximum prison sentence is 10 years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice penitentiary.

Also featuring in the collection of pictures was star running back Isiah Pacheco, who is set to play in his second Super Bowl in just two years as a professional player. Kicker Harrison Butker also posed.

Then there were defensive stars Chris Jones, Justin Reid and L’Jarius Sneed, who will have a tough afternoon in store as they attempt to shut down the 49ers’ star-studded offense.

The Chiefs and 49ers will officially kick off the festivities on Monday night at Allegiant Stadium when they meet with thousands of media members from across the globe.

The event is open to fans who purchased tickers and it’ll be the first and only public appearance this week for every player and coach from the two teams.

They’ll field questions ranging from serious to silly. They’ll be asked to discuss personal topics and to participate in goofy skits.

‘It’s exciting. It’s all exciting stuff,’ Kelce said.

‘It builds and sets the tone for the whole week. It’s the biggest stage in the world.

‘Monday night is going to be where it starts for everybody. At this point, I just love it, it’s an exciting time.

‘It’s a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing that I’ve been able to enjoy a few times.’

She’s lived her entire life in the same area of Bonner Springs, Kansas.

Melba Mills keeps newspaper clippings of history and, at 100 years old, she’s got an impressive collection.

Mills’ son, Monte Mitchell, said his mother keeps clippings of everything.

She’s got clippings from her birthday, clippings of the Pearl Harbor bombing, and her son said she has quite the sports collection.

“As time has progressed, she’s had an interest in all sports,” Mitchell told the NFL.

Mills’ most recent file is filled with news on the career of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“Unbeknownst to many of us, she has followed his path from reading the local newspaper,” Mitchell said.

“Everybody loves his play!” Mills said. “He’s so fast and so slick! I just thought he was so darn cute.”

Mitchell said as a Chiefs superfan, his mother has never had the opportunity to go to a game at Arrowhead Stadium. That was about to change thanks to the NFL and the Chiefs organization.

Mitchell wrote a letter to the Chiefs, and they responded with an incredible gift – tickets to the Sept. 22 home opener. Mills was treated to an amazing VIP experience, complete with her own No. 100 jersey for the game. She was also honored as the Bud Light Fan of the Game.

Mills was honored on the field, she met Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, Chiefs President Mark Donovan, Chiefs Hall of Famer Bobby Bell, and many of her favorite players, including Patrick Mahomes.

“It took me 100 years to get here,” Mills joked on the sideline.

Her entire trip was chronicled as part of the NFL 100th season celebration. The Chiefs posted a video of Mills’ story and her trip to Arrowhead Monday with the message “Cheers to 100.”

The superstar quarterback’s dad, Pat Mahomes Sr., pitched for the Mets in the playoff years of 1999 and 2000, and the future Super Bowl champ was a fixture at Shea Stadium as a tyke.

“There’s so many good memories about that little kid.

Now he’s the all-time quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs,” said former Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani from his home in Hawaii.

“I thought he was going to become a baseball player because of his dad.”

Agbayani, 52, recalled a “friendly, fearless” Little Pat clad in his own Mets jersey acting like he belonged with the big leaguers.

“He wasn’t scared. He just went out there and tried to be like us: catching fly balls, chasing down the balls, catching the ground balls and he did pretty good at his age. I was wondering, ‘Whose kid was this?’ And they said it was Pat’s. When I saw Pat I said, ‘Dude, you have somebody special.’”

Little Pat was inquisitive and would ask how high a fly ball traveled and how far it went over the fence, Agbayani said. “He had that IQ for the game.”

The ex-Met said father and son Mahomes were alike in their fierce desire. “He plays to win. You can see that [now] in his body language and his eyes. It’s awesome watching him, this little kid who grew up and now he’s playing in the NFL.”

Todd Zeile, who played first base for the Mets in 2000, 2001 and 2004, said the now “phenomenal talent” used to play tape ball with his son Garrett, and “was fascinated with first base and wanted to take a look at the big gloves.”New York Post

Agbayani marveled at Little Pat’s arm — “he had that technique” — and the boy’s strength. “Our bats were pretty heavy [some were 33 ounces] and he would try to swing it. He just wanted to be a part of us and it was great.”

Zeile said the ballplayers’ kids enjoyed dodgeball in the clubhouse and would get excited during batting practice, “because that was their playtime.” One highlight was the kids stretching with their dads on the field at Yankee Stadium before Game 1 of the 2000 World Series.

Reliever John Franco recalled Little Pat “had a pretty good arm” and used to “play games in the batting cage” and shag fly balls with his son, JJ.

Franco, who was inducted in the Mets Hall of Fame in 2012, said Patrick inherited his father’s passion and athleticism.

“Big Pat was a great athlete. He was a competitor, man and he pitched some big innings for us in 1999 and 2000. He always took the ball.”

Mets reliever Turk Wendell, known for his gutsy pitching and superstitions, including brushing his teeth between innings and slamming the rosin bag into the mound before facing batters, remembers young Mahomes as a “wiry, funny little kid” who liked to run around the clubhouse with the other boys.

Wendell remembers Pat Sr. once told him, ” ‘Man, I don’t know what to do with my kid. He won’t go to sleep. He wants to stay up all night long.’ I joked around with him afterwards, ‘He’s probably watching game film.’”

Agbayani, who drove in the winning run of Game 3 of the 2000 World Series vs. the Yankees, said the “sky’s the limit” as to what Little Pat could have accomplished if he had become a baseball player.

That said, Agbayani won’t be rooting for Mahomes on Sunday.

“Sorry, I’m a big Niners fan for a long, long time,” the ex-Met laughed.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not only known for his incredible talent on the football field but also for his deep faith.

Recently, a photo of Mahomes deep in prayer surfaced on a Kansas City Chiefs fans Facebook page, showcasing his regular routine of seeking spiritual guidance before games.

Mahomes, an evangelical Christian, discovered his faith during his middle school years and has remained devout ever since.

He has made it a personal tradition to spend two hours in prayer before each game, a routine he established back in high school. In an interview with Sports Spectrum, Mahomes emphasized the significance of his faith, stating, “Faith is huge for me… I just thank God for those opportunities and I thank God for letting me be on a stage where I can glorify Him.”

The photo of Mahomes engrossed in prayer has resonated with fans, who admire his commitment to his faith. One fan expressed their admiration on the Facebook post, saying, “It’s amazing to see such a talented athlete like Mahomes excel on the field while staying grounded in his faith. Truly inspiring.”

He’s an example of faith and dedication
Mahomes’ faith has been a constant source of strength and guidance throughout his football career. As the Chiefs currently lead the American Football Conference West division, it seems that Mahomes’ prayers are being answered. However, his primary focus remains on glorifying God, regardless of the game’s outcome. This humble and grateful attitude sets Mahomes apart from other athletes.

The attention on Mahomes’ faith has intensified with the news of pop star Taylor Swift dating his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce. As the spotlight shines brighter on the Chiefs, Mahomes continues to serve as a shining example of faith and dedication.

As the season progresses, fans can look forward to witnessing Mahomes’ unwavering faith manifest through his exceptional performance on the field. His commitment to glorifying God serves as a reminder that success extends beyond wins and losses; it lies in utilizing one’s platform to make a positive impact.

In a world where many athletes succumb to the pressures of fame and fortune, Mahomes stands out as a role model for aspiring athletes and fans alike. His unwavering faith and dedication inspire others to prioritize what truly matters in life.

Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady named Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen as his pick for the next signal caller to win his first Super Bowl.

Allen has never played in a Super Bowl. His time as the Bills starting quarterback has come with a lot of success. Buffalo has been to five straight postseasons and won the AFC East each of the last four years.

Yet, Brady warns of Patrick Mahomes being in Allen’s way of winning a Super Bowl, as the Kansas City Chiefs have eliminated the Bills from the postseason three of the last four years.

Each of the last three seasons have ended for Buffalo in the AFC Divisional round as part of the NFL’s final eight teams last standing.

The closest Allen has gotten to a Super Bowl was the 2020 season. Kansas City defeated Buffalo 38-24 in the AFC Championship game to end the 27-year-old’s championship dreams.

Allen was named by Brady as the next quarterback to win a Super Bowl that hasn’t already

Brady won seven Super Bowls in his time in the NFL with the Patriots and Buccaneers

‘I like Josh Allen a lot,’ Brady said on the DeepCut Podcast of who would be the next first-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

‘I’d pick Josh. I like Josh a lot as a guy, as a leader. But, you know, he’s got to get past the Chiefs and that’s hard because Patrick’s incredible in the way he leads that team,’ Brady added.

The Allen-Mahomes rivalry also produced the January 2022 instant classic that prompted the NFL to change its overtime rules for the playoffs, allowing each team at least one possession without a time limit.

The latest matchup between Mahomes and Allen was this past season, when the Chiefs defeated the Bills in the Divisional round in Buffalo with Taylor Swift in attendance.

Allen himself has made headlines for his celebrity girlfriend, Oscar-nominated actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld.

She’s red hot.

Brittany loves a glam moment and just had another big moment when she debuted for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit earlier this year. She stars as a Rookie in this year’s issue and her photos started rolling out in February. The Kansas City Chiefs superfan (she is married to the quarterback after all) wears her best Chiefs-red swimwear for the steamy photos, including a teeny-tiny red bikini in a shot that the magazine just shared at the beginning of April.

In the photo taken in Belize, Brittany poses in the string bikini while wearing a cowboy hat. Her usual blonde hair is in place, blowing around her in the tropical breeze as she looks off in the distance.

Don’t blame her.

French Montana claimed that Taylor Swift turned down $9 million to perform a show in the United Arab Emirates.

Last month, the “Pop That” rapper, 39, shared a screenshot of text messages from someone who offered him $1 million to perform and another person, whose name Montana censored, to perform for $9 million in December.

“They had a show offer for me and Taylor — her $9 million, me $1 million,” he told VladTV. “Somewhere in Emirates.”Djvlad/YouTube

“Somebody just sent me a show offer who y’all think the 9 million for lol?” he wrote atop the messages in the now-deleted post.

The “Unforgettable” emcee — born Karim Kharbouch — claimed that person was the “Bad Blood” singer, 34, in a new interview with VladTV.

“They had a show offer for me and Taylor — her $9 million, me $1 million,” he said.

“Somewhere in Emirates.”

It’s unknown why Swift allegedly turned down the offer.

Page Six has reached out to her rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

The money definitely isn’t an issue for the pop star, as she was named a billionaire earlier this month.

“The most famous newcomer is, of course, Taylor Swift, whose record-breaking, five-continent Eras Tour is the first to surpass $1 billion in revenue,” reported Forbes.

“The 34-year-old pop star amassed an estimated $1.1 billion fortune, based on earnings from the blockbuster tour, the value of her music catalog and her real estate portfolio.”

Additionally, Swift became the “first musician to hit ten-figure status” solely based on her songs and performances.

Swift is currently on a short break from her record-breaking Eras Tour, which became the highest-grossing tour by any musician of all time, earning more than $1 billion, per Rolling Stone.

The tour is set to resume on May 9 in Paris and will wrap up in December with three consecutive shows in Vancouver.

Until then, the “Cruel Summer” songstress has been spending quality time with her beau, NFL star Travis Kelce, who is currently in his offseason after winning the 2024 Super Bowl.
