JuJu broke 900 yards receiving last season.
I'm not sure if we'll have a receiver break 800 this.

I don't know about you loosers, but there's a Jayhawk game on that I'll be watching

One of the best regular season games of the year vs a non con matchup vs an almost D2 team?
I'll be watching Mahomes and co.

I'll likely watch both simultaneously.
But that's just me.

I don’t get the U so can’t watch it regardless.

Damn, sorry to hear that pdub.
After I posted that I was going to watch both games, it occurred to me to look and see what channel the KU game was on. When I saw it was ESPNU, I was like "oh no!", because I didn't think I got it either, because I didn't used to when I lived in Orlando and had DirecTV.
But, thankfully, it turns out I do.
Kind of finally makes paying several hundred dollars a month for Xfinity worth it.

I just received an email "news" update from the Wall Street Fucking Journal with the following headline:
"Travis Kelce Opens Up About Taylor Swift and His Life After the NFL"

The whole thing is fascinating.
Can’t wrap my head around what it’s gotta be like to be Kelce - nine figure wealth, solid (and strengthening) argument as the best player at your position in the history of the country’s most popular sport, second only to Mahomes as the face of what is essentially America’s Team - and your partner is
orders of magnitude richer and more famous.
It’s like Scottie Pippen dating Princess Di.

Most similar to me is... Rodman hooked up with Madonna.
Beckham may have been more popular than Victoria Spice Girl Adams but she was one of the hottest things on the planet when they first hooked up.

It works the other way because Kelce oozes confidence and isn't intimidated by who she is.
There was a weak campaign just recently that tried to cancel Kelce for his tweets from 2011 when he was at Cincy.
Thankfully that seems to have sputtered out.

I think there’s a substantive difference between a member of the Spice Girls, and someone on the Madonna/Swift level of singular fame and recognition; would it really surprise anyone if Swift is presently THE most famous and recognizable person IN THE WORLD?
She’s certainly, with Trump and LeBron and Messi, in the conversation. I am nearly certain there isn’t a more famous woman.

Right - because Kelce is JUST old enough to have seen guys who came ahead of him be ruined by idiot social media posts.

It doesn't matter at all how much more wealthy/influential she is. When it gets pointed out in the opposite direction (it's not usually a wealthy woman dating an uber wealthy man), the woman is described as a gold digger.
When it's two celebrities, and the man makes much more money, I don't think any real consideration, thought, or discussion is given, by most. The one's that do, go back to the gold digger argument.
It really is a double standard based on 'traditional' earning roles for men and women.
I like the whole thing, tbh. It's nice to have a positive story come out of an NFL player's camp for once, even if it's on a mostly superficial level. Mostly, I'm happy it's not another report of a player abusing or raping a woman. Dare I say this story is 'refreshing' in that regard.
Even with this, it's been fascinating to see some of the 'negative' responses that have tried to rip down the positivity of this story. But, that's how we internet, so be it.
Good luck to the Chiefs against the Birds tonight. I went and ate at Slap's for lunch today, forgetting there was a home game tonight. The line was a little extra long.

If things don't work out for Travis and what's her name, it appears he has options:
T-Swift isn’t the only one who wants Travis Kelce

I guess I'm not trying to make an argument one way or the other. I'm just observing that it's gotta be somewhat jarring for a person in Kelce's position to all of the sudden be the small fish in the pond.
That said, maybe it's something Kelce is already familiar and comfortable with (in a way that, for example, Tony Gonzalez never was or would have been), since his most important
professional relationship is also with someone materially richer and more famous than he is.
