While some NFL players spend their bye week catching up on sleep or family time, Travis Kelce opted for a little adventure \u2014 and some quality time with fianc\u00e9e Taylor Swift. The Kansas City Chiefs star opened up about how he spent his week off during the latest episode of \u201cNew Heights,\u201d the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce.<\/p>\n
Kelce didn\u2019t hold back when describing how much he enjoyed his brief break from football. \u201cI got a little bit out of the house, went to New York,\u201d he said. \u201cJust hung out, man, put the feet up. Saw some cool places, ate some great food. Got to feel the big city and its electricity, and its buzz that it\u2019s always got. Yeah, it\u2019s my favorite time right now, as the seasons are changing, to be around the Midwest and the Northeast. And, yeah, it was pretty fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chiefs\u2019 tight end said he took the opportunity to catch up with friends and soak in the city\u2019s energy. \u201cThere\u2019s a picture of me at Puffy\u2019s Tavern saying what\u2019s up to a couple guys,\u201d he added. \u201cMet my guy Summit out for a drink, met some new friends. Got some new friends that I know out in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Kelce, now in his 13th NFL season, the time away from Arrowhead Stadium was much-needed. \u201cYou get so ingrained in the routine of things,\u201d he told Jason. \u201cYour days are set, your schedules are set during the season, and the bye week is just that. If you\u2019re fortunate enough to come out healthy, you can get away. I like to get away and recharge.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cNot everybody has the same feeling \u2014 some guys have families and stay in town. But I like to get away, recharge, see something else, feel like I\u2019m somewhere else, and kind of just shut it down.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Kelce kept things low-key on his podcast, fans got a glimpse of how the NFL star spent some of his downtime with his fianc\u00e9e Swift in Manhattan. The pair were spotted at the Polo Club for dinner and later at the exclusive Zero Bond, a members-only lounge known for its strict privacy policy.<\/p>\n
Former \u201cBachelorette\u201d contestant Jason Tartick was among the few guests who crossed paths with the power couple and shared his impressions on Instagram before deleting his post.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had the iconic red lipstick on. She had the watch and her new ring was absolutely blinging,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI was absolutely blown away at how present she was. Like there was nothing in the world happening other than the people in front of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tartick added that Swift\u2019s playful side was on full display. \u201cMy favorite was when her drink was done, she reached over and took his drink for a nice big gulp. Legend.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chiefs\u2019 bye week came at the perfect time, allowing the tight end to step away from the game before the final playoff push.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing in Kansas City for 13 years straight, for eight months out of the year, yeah, that can be a nice home for somebody,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cBut at the same time, I got to move my feet, man. I got to travel, see new things, visit friends. I got to see a lot of friends and family out there, East Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelce and the Chiefs return to action on Sunday, November 16, when they face the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.<\/p>\n
For someone who makes over $30 million per year,\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0wide receiver\u00a0A.J. Brown\u00a0sure does complain a lot. Most of his complaints, somehow, seem to come after his team wins games.<\/p>\n
The latest complaint from Brown \u2014 and it\u2019s honestly hard to keep track of\u00a0how much he\u2019s complained at this point\u00a0\u2014 came on a livestream video with podcaster Janky Rondo on Tuesday night in which Brown called the Eagles\u2019 season a \u201cS\u2013t Show\u201d when asked how things have been going for Brown and if he was OK.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d\u00a0Brown replied\u00a0as he played the Madden 26 video game. \u201cWhere have you been? \u2026 Family\u2019s good. Everything else? No \u2026 It\u2019s a s\u2013t show \u2026 if you got me in fantasy (football), get rid of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown\u2019s latest online diss came just one day after the Eagles improved to 7-2 with a 10-7, Week 10 road win over the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0on Monday Night Football in which Brown had 2 receptions for 13 yards on 3 targets.<\/p>\n
The Eagles are trying to win a second consecutive Super Bowl this year, and with Brown as one of their highest paid players after he signed a 3-year, $96 million contract extension before last season.<\/p>\n
For Brown, the pattern of criticizing his team and taking veiled, passive aggressive shots at his teammates then backtracking\u00a0goes back several years. It also only seems to come when his team wins but he doesn\u2019t put up big numbers.<\/p>\n
If people on the internet are getting sick of Brown\u2019s constant complaining when his team is winning, imagine how his teammates must feel who have to deal with him in real life.<\/p>\n
\u201cA.J. Brown\u00a0just slappin all of his teammates in the face yet again!\u201d\u00a0Sports Radio 94 WIP\u2019s Hunter Brody\u00a0wrote on his official X account on November 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe media has stirred up drama at times, but this certainly isn\u2019t one of those situations,\u201d\u00a0The Philly Special\u2019s Anthony DiBona\u00a0wrote on his official X account. \u201cA.J. Brown\u00a0is doing more than enough on his own to fan the flames in Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n
The target of Brown\u2019s passive aggressive vitriol is almost always the same \u2014 quarterback\u00a0Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a relationship issue,\u201d\u00a0former Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant said. \u201cThat\u2019s my thing. I think that this has nothing to do with, I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s football only. I think this is these two guys used to be best friends, and they\u2019re not. And I think that it\u2019s a hard situation to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown has 31 receptions for 408 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games \u2014 he missed one game with a hamstring injury \u2014 and is on track to have his worst statistical season as a pro.<\/p>\n
\u201cAJ\u00a0Brown\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0diva,\u201d\u00a0NFL reporter James Nagle wrote on his official X account. \u201cAt the same time, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find\u00a0a\u00a0WR of his caliber who isn\u2019t. He\u2019s the best WR in\u00a0Eagles\u00a0history & after 16 years without\u00a0a\u00a0true WR1, I truly couldn\u2019t care less what he says on social media. Anyone who wants him gone is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
