BC Lions added Kaepernick to the "negotiation list" which doesn't mean they'll take him (or that he'll take them) but they could. Lions are 10-4 and tied for first in the West division. I'd like to see him getting a chance and especially like to see him do well.

I wonder if he ever tried Canada. He would have been a political refugee.

I've always liked the (Detroit) Lions, but I also used to like the communist-owned Packers pre-Kaaron and pre-Bears solidarity with you. Plus, part of me wants GB to do well without Kaaron (Jets, too).

Lions -2.0 vs @Packers. Go football.

Change is in the air here. The bigger undereported story here is the change in backup QB.



Wish I got Dolphins/Bills.

[GoCubsGo]

No.....just no.

... In addition, there will be a new backup quarterback behind Justin Fields. Sources say Tyson Bagent, a former undrafted rookie free agent, will assume the role of No. 2 QB moving forward. The decision has nothing to do with Fields' standing, but it does have to do with a young, promising QB deserving a promotion from No. 3 to No. 2.

... Division II school Shepherd University.

Should have gone with Kap.

FWIW, he did some really good things in preseason and looked like the best QB on the roster (which says a lot and nothing at the same time).

Swift Nation bandwagon.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Welcome to New York’ Soundtracks Chiefs vs. Jets Game Promo Starring Travis Kelce

... The spot’s use of Swift’s song is understandable, but it may come as a surprise given that Fox Sports just reported that its request to use Swift’s music during last weekend’s Chiefs-Bears game broadcast, which captured multiple clips of the singer’s surprise attendance, had been denied.

... According to a recent blog post by NFL on Fox lead producer Richie Zyons, associate producer Rich Gross had sought permission to use Swift’s catalog “amid the avalanche of rumors.” Per the FOX music department, however, Swift’s record label and publishing company denied their request “in conjunction with speculations on or about her private/personal/dating life.”

Snubbing Fox, Arrowhead or the Bears, or just wanted her attendance to be the romance confirmation first?

... In other “Travlor” news, the “Anti-Hero” singer is rumored to be planning on attending the Chiefs-Jets game Sunday (Oct. 1). If true, the coverage is sure to be a repeat of last week’s game, which sent the internet into a tailspin as soon as clips of Swift hanging out with Donna Kelce and leaving the stadium with Travis surfaced....

For real, or is this just a ruse to boost viewers? Will the NY girl wear KC merch again?

genius.com:

... As proof of her love for her adopted hometown, all proceeds from sales of the single went to New York City Public Schools. The city also showed love back when they made Taylor a tourism ambassador.

Nice!

Some folks agree with you:

Despite all this, the song had mixed reviews, even being called “the worst NYC anthem of all time.”

Is there a release date for the bitter yet empowering breakup song yet?

Ah. Tyson Bagent's stats with the Shepherd Rams are very impressive:

It’s happening. The worst possible scenario from the whole Taylor Swift dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce drama is playing out.

No, it’s not the Swifties doing battle with Brittany Mahomes’ supporters on social media. That’s some good old fashioned grab your popcorn entertainment. The worst possible scenario is Taylor becoming friends with Patrick Mahomes’ wife....

Of course you have and if you thought Brittany was insufferable before, wait until the Brittany who is hanging out with Taylor Swift and all of her big time celebrity friends shows up.

That Brittany is going to put on a master class in being insufferable. After Saturday night, that version of the Chiefs WAG is well on her way to making an appearance.

Sean Joseph really doesn't like Brittany.

I was just thinking that someone is making a lot of money off of this whole circus, intentional or not. Then, the next paragraph:

Taylor and Brittany are in town, of course, for Sunday night’s Chiefs game against the Jets at MetLife. The singer is expected to attend the game. Reports of her planned attendance sent ticket prices through the roof....

It's not like she will do an impromptu concert. She'll just be a girl in a luxury box that they MIGHT catch a glimpse of . . . and the Jets will still get stomped.

Here's a stat that I never knew was being tracked:

Khalil Mack posts six sacks in Chargers' win over Raiders

... Mack delivered in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders with a record-breaking revenge game against the team that drafted him in 2014. He sacked Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell six times, a franchise single-game record, two of which resulted in fumbles. Mack's six sacks were the most by a player against his former team since player sacks became an official stat in 1982....

The Raiders traded Mack to the Chicago Bears in 2018 for a package that featured two first-round picks ...

The LA Traitors host the Bears on 10/29. Ut-oh.

49ers' Christian McCaffrey makes MVP case with 4 TDs in rout

... On Oct. 20, it will have been one year since the Niners acquired McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for second, third and fourth-round picks in the 2023 NFL draft and a fifth-round selection in 2024....

Opps
