I’m not kidding.” said Jones

Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Chiefs and political conspiracy theories; Cowboys owner Jones says he can work with Belichick; plus more news

Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift walk out of Arrowhead Stadium Dec 25, 2023 after playing the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chiefs are in the Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers for Sun Feb 11, 2024 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (Kansas City Star file photo)

On Headline Sports with Jessica:

#1 As soon as the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC Championship over the Baltimore Ravens right wing leaders have said that liberals put Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. That liberals paid off the Chiefs opponents to make the Super Bowl and having the Chiefs in the Big Game would benefit the liberals and President Biden and that Chiefs opponents would be paid off with cabinet positions in the next Biden Administration. How far does some of the right wing go with some of these ideas?

#2 Jessica, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick the way things are looking will not be a head coach in the NFL for the 2024 season. It’s 2025 that he could get a call from the owner of the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones if current head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t work out. Jones said “I know him personally and I like him,” Jones said in an interview with Yahoo Sports. “There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None.”

#3 The Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards was hit with a $40,000 fine for comments made against the officiating after the Timberwolves defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Edwards said that the officials were “bad” and “terrible” for over looking fouls that should have sent him to the free throw line.

#4 The Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was accused of “poking the bear” when he left his helmet, kicking tee, footballs and equipment where Kansas City City Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes warms up. Kelce said if Tucker wasn’t going to move his equipment he would be happy to move it for him, with Mahomes throwing the kicking tee and Kelce kicking the footballs. Tucker was winking at Kelce and Mahomes saying it was a joke. Kelce said they weren’t in a joking mood and the Chiefs just wanted to get after it.

#5 With Jim Harbaugh coming back to California once again to be a head coach in the NFL this time with the Los Angeles Chargers scored $16 million per year for five years worth up to $80 million. The Chargers who are noted for not breaking the bank did so with hiring Harbaugh who was the former San Francisco 49ers head coach and most recently the Michigan Wolverines.

Belichick reportedly has only interviewed with the Falcons and no other NFL teams. Belichick coached the New England Patriots for 24 seasons and led them to six Super Bowl titles.

#5 The Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelce said that when the time comes to retire he will do it formerly and not after an emotional game. Kelce 36, was one of the best NFL centers and selected to the Pro Bowl six times. How will his retirement impact the Eagles?

The Chiefs reported that Kelce has inflammation in his knee and went under tests earlier today. Based on the results will determine if Kelce will be in the line up for this Thursday Night Football against the Detroit Lions.

#2 New England Patriots corner Jack Jones caught a break as gun charges were dropped against him as long as he served one year pre trial probation and does 48 hours of community service. Jones was arrested on Jun 16th at Logan Airport in Boston after screeners found a Glock box with two guns and ammunition inside a bag with Jones name on it.

#3 The Las Vegas Raiders Chandler Jones was upset that he couldn’t workout in the Raiders team practice facility and had to use a local gym over the Labor Day weekend. Jones said that he didn’t want to play for the Raiders and referenced head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler in a Instagram post that has since been deleted by Jones.

#4 Four days before the 2021 season the Buffalo Bills TJ Watt was holding out and signed for $112 million on a four year extension. He got two sacks and a tackle for a loss and had five quarterback hits. That’s why Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is preparing his team in the event that the San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa signs just before Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh. Tomlin said he wants to get his offensive line ready to protect quarterback Kenny Pickett.

#5 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says that quarterback Dak Prescott will be a Cowboy for a longtime. The catch is that to sign Prescott would eat into his salary cap. In 2024 Prescott is expected to make $29 million and has a $5 million bonus and is in the third year of his four deal. “There’s never a time where it goes away because you’ve got to make the entire thing fit.” Jones told 105.3 FM The Fan in order to make the salary fit.
