Former NFL star and current ESPN analyst Jason Kelce recently joined "The Steam Room" with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson.
During the show, Jason Kelce shared his thoughts on Travis Kelce's relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been dating Swift since September 2023.
When the two sparked a relationship, Jason Kelce mentioned that he saw a "different" type of behavior from Travis Kelce, explaining that the way his brother talked about Swift was "eye-opening."
Jason Kelce said it was evident how much Travis Kelce liked Swift when the two began their romantic relationship.
"You meet a lot of people; this felt different," Jason Kelce said. "I'm talking about Travis. And then, just the way he talks about her and talks about her from the moment he was with her. You could tell how much he really, really liked her right from the get-go. I think the level early on in that was something that was very eye-opening to me when we first had discussions."
Travis Kelce and Swift have grown to be the most well-known couple in football and arguably in the sports industry.
The Chiefs tight end previously spoke about his relationship with Swift, mentioning that their support for one another on the biggest stages has really brought them together.
"I'm enjoying all aspects of life," Travis Kelce said, per "The Stephen A. Smith Show." "I think, personally, the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft and be the best version of you. That’s why I wanted to be at the concerts supporting her and being there for her, making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life."

Packers Sign 87-Tackle Linebacker, Report Says
The Green Bay Packers are adding veteran linebacker depth, signing Nick Niemann, according to a report from Packers on SI’s Bill Huber. Niemann, 28, arrives in Green Bay after spending his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he posted 87 total tackles with one interception and one tackle for loss. Replacing Isaiah Simmons and Kristian Welch, whom the Packers released while trimming the roster to the initial 53 players, Niemann has the opportunity to contribute on special teams as well as competing for snaps on coordinator Jeff Hafley’s defense. Niemann led the Chargers in special teams tackles each of the past three seasons.
Patriots cut first-round bust, retain surprising players to set 53-man roster
Mike Vrabel‘s first roster as New England Patriots head coach is taking shape. The Pats announced the following moves as they set their initial 53-man roster: Released: S Marcus Epps Waived: CB Miles Battle G Mehki Butler G Jack Conley CB Brandon Crossley TE C.J. Dippre RB JaMycal Hasty OT Demontrey Jacobs RB Terrell Jennings WR John Jiles DE Truman Jones C Alec Lindstrom DB Kobee Minor DT David Olajiga LB Cam Riley DT Jahvaree Ritzie K John Parker Romo TE Gee Scott G Cole Strange LB Bradyn Swinson WR Jeremiah Webb Placed on IR (designated for return): LB Jahlani Tavai Placed on IR: WR Ja’Lynn Polk The Patriots moved on from a pair of notable offensive linemen. Cole Strange was a reach when Bill Belichick selected him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and the Chattanooga product struggled through his brief NFL career. The lineman was a full-time starter as a rookie, but injuries and inconsistent play limited him to 10 starts in 2023 and two starts in 2024. The organization also moved on from Demontrey Jacobs, who started 13 games for the Patriots last season. Elsewhere on the OL, it sounds like David Olajiga will land back on New England’s practice squad if he clears waivers, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Perhaps the most surprising moves were the cuts the Patriots didn’t make. Kyle Dugger will stick around despite days of trade speculation. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Patriots did receive multiple trade offers for the safety, but his $9.75M salary (and how much the Patriots would be forced to take on) was a hurdle during negotiations. Meanwhile, the Patriots are temporarily holding on to eight wide receivers, with players like Kendrick Bourne and Javon Baker making the squad.
Alabama receives bad news before Week 1 game against Florida State
No. 8 Alabama got some bad news on the injury front ahead of its season opener on Saturday against Florida State. Per On3's Brett McMurphy, star defensive lineman Tim Keenan III will miss multiple games due to an ankle injury that requires surgery. “Alabama DT Tim Keenan III, who suffered an ankle injury Tuesday, is expected to undergo ‘tightrope’ surgery Wednesday, source told On3,” McMurphy said. “The Tide’s best defensive lineman and a captain, Keenan will be out multiple games, but expected to return this season, source said. Keenan has been with the program since 2022, and the nose tackle had his best season in 2024 when he recorded 40 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The senior from Birmingham, Alabama, has played in 29 games with 79 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in his college career. The injury is bad news for the Crimson Tide defense before they play dual-threat quarterback Tommy Castellanos, who transferred from Boston College to FSU in December. Alabama needs a strong pass rush to throw the senior off his game, and needs to keep him from running out of the pocket. Redshirt freshman Jeremiah Beaman is the No. 2 nose tackle on Alabama's depth chart. The six-foot-four, 314-pound athlete from Birmingham, Alabama, recorded two total tackles in 2024. Saturday's game will be pivotal for Beaman to show improvement this year with Keenan out. The Crimson Tide enter its matchup with Florida State with high expectations of being a College Football Playoff contender in head coach Kalen DeBoer's second season in Tuscaloosa.
Dolphins' practice squad for 2025 season boasts plenty of familiar faces from this summer and years past alike
The Miami Dolphins' 53-man roster has had some last minute shuffling today. There's a new addition courtesy of Miami's successful waiver claim for JuJu Brents from Indianapolis. There's reportedly a return in line for offensive tackle Kendall Lamm, too. The work continues — but Miami has also begun to undertake the process of stocking up players for their 2025 practice squad. The practice squad additions thus far sport a number of familiar faces, both from 2025 training camp Miami's preseason campaign and from years past alike. Practice squad players are eligible to be elevated onto the game day roster three times during a stint on the unit — and the Dolphins have already set a plan in place with their short-term replacement to Jason Sanders to do exactly that. General manager Chris Grier stated on Wednesday that the team planned to elevate kicker Riley Patterson for the first three games and evaluate his performance and Jason Sanders' rehabilitation from there. That's just one of the names Miami has locked into place, however. The practice squad can accommodate a grand total of 16 names. Here are the reported additions thus far to the Dolphins' 2025 practice squad.
