And so we got so much more to get into as the show continues on. You may have heard the news. Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift getting married.

I saw a video of Kevin Durant From the Olympics. Damn it, was that last year? I guess it was in Paris. Damn, time flies. I I saw a video, Kevin Durant walked into a shop.
And they were like, Yeah, man, for all the Olympians, the food is free. And he's like, Free? Like Kevin Durant hasn't made more than, I don't know, a half a billion dollars just in basketball salary? Like, if I guess free is free, regardless of how much money you have. I don't know if the food would taste better or what have you, but uh free is good.
Free is good. 888-710-4ISN is the number. If you want to call up, the number again is 888-658-888-888-888. seven ten four ISN Yeah, one guy he doesn't have to worry about uh Paying for anything. I guess he still does.
He got his own money, but not like her. Is Travis Kelsey? Congratulations to this man. Travis Kelsey getting married to Taylor Swift. We'll get into that in a second.
Yeah, let's let's hear about some of these uh Players that got cut. Tommy DeVito gone. no longer a giant, Maybe they pick him up on a practice squad if he clears waivers, we'll see. Kyle Trask, yeah, he's been down in Tampa Bay for a minute. It's like, oh, well, he can succeed.
Mr. Brady, uh, no, they brought in Baker Mayfield, Kyle Trask, out of Tampa Bay. Sam Hartman, no longer in Washington. Jake Hainer I told you Jake Hainer is gone from the Saints. Spencer Rattler has been named the starting quarterback.
And a matter of fact, Spencer Rattler said in speaking today, Winning the job. Over Tyler Shuck, who was drafted this year, Spencer Ratler said. I'm happy they gave me a job. Having a job is nice. The emotions are very excited.
I'm very grateful for the opportunity. Worked my tail off to. Achieve this, and now it's here, and just ready to work with the guys and get the season going. I feel like we're headed in the right direction and everybody's excited right now. No, not really.
I don't think Saints fans are excited. Not at all. Damn it. I'm looking at a couple Saints games. I may have to pop in for a Sunday and pop back to Atlanta because Them games, man, I I may pay five cents to go to a game.
Shoutouts to everybody in the renovated Superdome. I feel bad for Hunter Renfro. This guy had some stomach issues, missed last season, didn't play at all. Signed with the Carolina Panthers. We know he started Clemson.
And ultimately, he was cut today as well. Deontay Johnson gone from the Browns. I feel like every team that he went to last year pretty much He wasn't happy, and so now he's gone from the Browns. And then you got McCole Hartman. Three-time Super Bowl champ, Will Speedster.
Gone from Green Bay. Hey, said, We don't need you. We just drafted Matt Golden. Get out of here. And Isaiah Simmons.
Over the course of his career, you don't know if this guy was a linebacker or safety. They've pretty much tried him everywhere. I guess he's not good enough in one particular spot. Uh he has also been cut. by the Green Bay Packers.
So no no big names. No big names. Yesterday we talked about Kenny Pickett. Move to the Las Vegas Raiders Now it's official. Kevin Stefansky is miserable as he wants to be.
Kevin Stofansky has said Dylan Gabriel is quarterback number two. And then we have Shador Sanders, who happens to be quarterback number 10. Three. Kevin Stofansky is already sick and tired of talking about all these damn QBs. And he was very short.
When asked about who the hell the backup was for a Flacco, and I guess he's just like, y'all already know the answer, stop asking me. And have you made a decision on who will back up, Joe? Uh Dylan will be the backup. That's it. He's like, don't ask me any more quarterback questions.
I'm sick of it. Browns are going to drive this man into the ground. Just like his quarterback's going to be driven into the ground. And speaking of quarterbacks being driven into the ground, Aaron Rogers, he spoke today. He was on with Adam Schein.
And he talked about being driven into the ground when he was a member. of the New York Jets. He says, and keep in mind, His first game as a Steeler? is gonna be in New York against the Jets. You can go ahead and thank the NFL schedule makers for this one.
Aaron Rodgers says. Of course, I wanted to win in New York. That's why the hell I went. I really embraced my time there and put put as much of myself into it. as I possibly could.
Um I really wanted to win there. I really did. And I have a a lot of appreciation For the special moments. There weren't a ton of 'em, but you know, one of the coolest moments. Unfortunately, four plays later was was t all taken away, but run down that field.
It was a special night. And even though it ended very shortly thereafter, that'll always be a kind of a special snapshot Yeah, I was about to say, what other special moment did Aaron Rodgers have with the New York Jets? He literally said it, running out onto the field with that American flag, and then four plays later, the guy's grabbing the back of his leg because he blew out his Achilles. There was no special moment. There was no special moment for the New York Jets last year.
There was no special moment for Aaron Rodgers last year. If you ask Jet fans, There was bounce of your Jeff Fan right. Yes. Was there Was there a special moment? Uh there was the very good Uh game with Devontae Adams.
against the Jaguars. But other than that, no.
Okay. I'm glad you're an optimist.
Well, you talk about Rogers, maybe the game where he pulled his calf, and that's a memorable moment. He pulled his calf out in London and wanted to play through it. The bachelor, there were no special moments, okay? Yeah, well, special moments in a bad way. That there's a lot of those.
No, no, no, no. We we don't want to call bad moments special. Him being able to have a photo that he could hang up in his house. And then maybe he doesn't even want to look at that because four plays later he ripped his leg. There were no special moments.
Everybody got fired. They didn't win anything. There were no victories of note. The guy went down four plays in, came and played last year in a meaningless season, and now he's gone. End of story.
Everybody got fired, including him.
Now if that's special, I don't want no damn part of that. And so here's the thing, since the most special moment in his time with the Jets was running out onto a field with the American flag, Does Aaron Rodgers have anything else? Are there any feelings? about going back into Met life where you ripped your damn leg. Aaron Rogers said, Man, going back, I don't care.
Probably nowhere near where it might be made out. A lot has changed. over there, you know. coaching staff wise, player wise. Uh over there but Um it's one game out of seventeen and Yeah, it Five o'clock Eastern on You know, that Sunday it's Want to get me on to the next game, so that's just That's the way it is.
Yeah, it's like whatever, I don't care. He's lying through his teeth, though. Yeah, everybody got fired. Rob Sala got fired. Joe Douglas got fired.
He basically got fired. Woody Johnson still owns the team. I don't know if he's kind of jet-setting between the United States of America and the United Kingdom. I don't know what the hell that guy's doing. But I I it'd be pretty hilarious if he's at the game.
Just making his presence felt, I doubt it. Woody Johnson doesn't seem like the type of guy to just roll up Darren Rodgers, or maybe he will. We'll find out. I know this. Aaron Rodgers is going to try his best to light.
Them Up. He can say whatever he wants. Yeah, there's no Salah, no Douglas. He's going to try to go out there and light them up. Let's see if Fields can and keep score.
I don't know. We'll find out sooner than later. Good luck to Aaron Rogers. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N That's eight eight eight seven ten four I S N And a big congratulations To the man who is on his way to being married. You've heard this.
Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. are engaged. It was just a few weeks ago that we heard all the The talk about Travis Kelsey flushing last season had that poor year. Look kinda little heavy there around the waist. Had a bad season.
Next thing you know, he's just like, Yeah, I'm I'm more committed. to this year, and this very well may be the final season of his career.
Now that he is engaged, okay? Like You would think you'd finish out this year. You end your contract. You're going into the Hall of Fame. You're one of the best tight ends ever.
Why the hell not call it a rap? Back in June, Travis Kelsey was asked about this. Could you play? passed this season. This is what he said in June.
I got one year on this contract. I know that. And we'll go try and figure out something for next year. The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can't see myself ever playing anywhere else.
So we'll deal with that down the road when the time is right. But right now we'll focus on winning the championship this year. Yeah. And after that, you I know you gotta be focused on your wife. You got to be focused in on your life after football.
I mean, damn it, this man, Travis Kelsey, has been focused in. on his life after football. before he even got into the NFL. I mean, there's a great article in the New York Times, I want to say, I don't know how many years ago, five, six, seven years ago. and it detailed how he and his college roommates already had a plan.
to try to make sure that they could maximize his celebrity in the NFL. This guy had an entire show. Travis Kelsey had an entire dating show. Reality show. What dating Travis Kelsey?
People don't remember this. He had an entire dating show as a rookie. If you can't, go find the article where they detailed how the idea was for him to always be a celebrity. And so, God bless him. He found love, she found him, he found her, and they're together.
Apparently, they both got what they want. He wanted to be even more famous than he already was? and he happened to end up with one of the most famous human beings, What planet Earth? And so I guess for one more season at minimum, And Travis Kelsey can focus in on football. Because you've already heard from Travis Kelsey.
Just a couple of weeks ago, about a month ago, he said, You know what? That Super Bowl loss where the Eagles kicked our asses. He says, I don't think about that no more. Nah man, I've thrown that thing in the trash, I moved on. When when did that moment sort of occur for you?
I don't know, I haven't I thought they would have it sooner than than you can imagine. I was pretty focused on this year in the offseason.
Okay. All right. Yeah, it seems like he's had a busy offseason. We don't know the details of his engagement. God bless him for being able to.
Do it. And kind of keep it under wraps. It's a beautiful thing. You think about social media and the world that we live in today. Kind of tough to keep things a secret, but they were able to do that and share it on their own terms.
The same day that a lot of NFL players got cut. Uh outside of that I wish them nothing but the best. You know, people will argue about whether or not this was a sham, a publicity stunt. Uh Apparently not. But I think when you reach that level of fame, Everything to some degree.
It's a publicity start. I mean having to plan out Sharing this with the world, this for publicity. Putting out the photos is for publicity. The relationship. It it's a business arrangement as well as love, I would say.
Yeah, they they're doing it for the betterment of themselves. You think being with her doesn't help Travis Kelsey? I just hope they work it out. Could you imagine? If they have a baby?
Oh my god. the world will explode. This might be one of the most famous babies on planet earth. I think that might be in the plans too. Stay tuned, pay attention.
I think we might be in store for the final year. It's the JR Sport Ree Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. We have so much more to do. as we continue on with the show. Of course, at the end of it, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history.
Got some information that I need to share with you. about some HBCU action. Coming this coming week. Historically, black college and university football, but on the other side of the break, It's time for a chat. with Hannah.
Thin fiber. Who covers all things, sports, athletics, and pop culture for the athletic? The J.R. Sport Reef Show coast to coast, the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief.
It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Yeah, it's NFL cut day. Got a couple of guys who lost their jobs. A lot of guys lost their jobs. And we got a couple of guys who were elevated.
And then we got a future Hall of Famer who is now engaged to one of the biggest pop stars. on planet Earth. Of course, I'm referring to Travis Kelsey. And then also Taylor Swift. To talk about this and the big old news that we got earlier today is someone who covers all things between the intersection of pop culture and sports from the athletic.
Joining us right now is staff editor Hannah Van Bever. Hannah, how are you? Great. How are you? I'm excellent.
Thank you for taking the time to join us. Uh I can't say surprising news given the podcast episode that we got a few weeks ago. I don't ever remember Taylor Swift sitting down on a podcast, but It seemed to be that this was kind of the next step, given how open they were a few weeks ago. Yeah, it sure was. I think a lot of Swifties online were saying they seem like they're engaged when they were on that podcast, just the bonnie language.
And of course, Swifties are obsessed with all the Easter eggs and secret messages.
So I mean, I was shocked today, like that it came out this afternoon on a Tuesday, but I was also not shocked at the same time. Do you think, knowing what Travis went through last season, he didn't have the best of the years, that the Chiefs got smacked around in the Super Bowl? He's lost weight, he's slimmed up. Do you think this is it for him in a Chiefs uniform so he can focus in on his his wedding after this? That is a great question and I wouldn't pretend to be a Chiefs expert, but I do know that this is his 13th season, which is an important number in the Swift universe.
And I also just know from, yeah, her favorite number. And did you know today is the 26, which is 13 times 2.
So her favorite number. With Travis times two. And this is also 13 days after that pod, they announced her album on the podcast. Anyways, I digress. My colleagues who work with the Chiefs said Travis was looking great at practice today.
He was doing knee pulls and leg kick stretches like nothing was going on.
So he is certainly showing up on, if this is his last year of his current contract, he's showing up. like he means business. But I think we're expecting the Chiefs to start maybe limiting some of his time and thinking about what's next if he's gonna go into free agency and what happens. I mean, I could see him getting married and settling down. Doing whatever's next, podcasting.
Being an analyst, whatever he wants to do, really. Yeah, I think we can expect to see him on more TV shows and hostings, and he's already gotten a. A good taste of that. Hannah Van Biber is joining us here on the JR Sport Brief Show, courtesy of the The athletic. You mentioned Taylor Swift.
I know there are a lot of people who haven't been happy. With the amount of attention that she's gotten in games and during games and entrances, I'm sure that there's people listening right now going, oh, about this. This Taylor Swift stuff. But can you talk about the impact that she has had on the NFL even up to now? Absolutely.
I mean, everyone we've spoken to in the NFL, including players, say they feel like she's had a really positive impact. I mean, all attention is good attention in some ways in this attention economy, and Taylor Swift is a genius. At leveraging that. We did a poll of players last year, and over 75% of them said they think she's a really good positive thing for the league. She's brought new fans, a new fan base, she's brought families together and obviously she's brought a lot of dollars.
Well, Hannah, when you you think about her her popularity. Like, how popular is she? I can name a few songs. I don't bump Taylor Swift in my car. I'm more of a mob deep type of guy.
Like, talk about her global popularity. Yeah, she is maybe the most famous woman alive. I mean, Lisa from Blackpink could probably give her a run for her money, but. On her post about her engagement, it's already up to 22 million likes, which isn't even to say views. It was over 1 million within less than 10 minutes.
She is certainly, her ERAs tour was all over the world. It was the highest grossing musical tour of all time.
So she certainly is perhaps the, I guess, queen of the world right now in the pop culture sense.
So she has a huge, huge global impact.
So, Hannah, once we get through this season, we saw the engagement. I think if they were married, they would have already shared maybe some photos. What do we expect over this next year?
So we know his football season for him probably is going to end in January, for his sake, maybe February. But you mentioned her album. You talked about, she just came off of a tour. Things are going to be rather quiet by the time they get to winter spring, right? No?
Well, it's hard to say if she's going to be on a tour. There's a lot of rumors that she could end up doing the halftime show at the Super Bowl, although that would be awkward if the Chiefs don't make it. Don't hate me, Chiefs fans. She may, there are also rumors that she may do a residency at the Sphere in Vegas.
So until her album drops or until we hear the next piece of news, which we already know she could drop it at any moment, we don't know what it's going to look like. But I would say if they're not already married, which some people think maybe they got secretly married, the wedding should be in the football offseason, which would be like. In, let's say, after February, before June, probably.
So, Josh Allen got married, I think it was May 31st.
So, I could expect things to start kicking up. I mean, this is kind of America's royal wedding.
So, I think they'll have a lot of planning to do. Yeah, nobody cared about all these other guys getting married to. You talked about, see, I don't know the name. Josh Allen is married to what actress now? Hayley Steinfeld.
She's an actress and a singer. Yeah, she was in Sinners, which was the best movie of the year so far, I'd say. Nobody cared about that one. Russell Wilson. No, but Russell Wilson got married to Sierra.
It didn't get this amount of attention, right? It sure didn't. No, it absolutely didn't. They had such a quiet wedding, and just fans were aware of that. I remember when that happened, but yeah, it's very different.
And I think it goes back to what you were saying about just how absolutely famous Taylor Swift is. And some of it goes to, I think, as well, that she is really good at spinning her narrative in a way that grabs attention and that really speaks to her fan base. Yeah. Like, I know Christian McCaffrey is married to what does she do? Is she a model?
What does she do? Yeah, she was, I think, I'm going to say this wrong, but she was a baby Miss Universe. Oh, look at me. Olivia Colfo. Yeah.
And probably an actor she was a model too. They had a baby recently, I think, and that was quiet. A lot of it is just, do they want people to know? Are they making, are they tapping those networks of publicists and media? And I think Taylor has done that.
And again, they're announcing an engagement and an album.
So it's all to kind of promote their brand. It's a really savvy way to Have your private life public, but also maintain some boundaries and make money. That's exactly right. She sure knows how to make money. Hannah Van Bibra.
She is a billionaire. Hannah Van Bibra has been joining us from the athletic. Hannah, I'm a leave you with this one. If they should have a child at any point in time, if they do, there's of course there's no guarantees that they want it. I don't know.
We don't know. None of my business, but it is my business. It's personal or public, whatever. Will the world explode if they have a child? I think that's the only answer.
Absolutely. The internet will end because it will collapse. This would be more famous than any of them Royals, right? It'll be a bigger kid than any of the Royals. Absolutely much bigger than any of the Royals and honestly a lot richer than any of the Royals.
Yeah, we have probably more athletic.
Well, yeah. And we she's she's tall. What is she? Is she she's long and athletic too? What is what is Taylor says she's six?
5'10, 5'11? Yeah, she's real tall. I know. I know. Leave something for the rest of us.
What are our kids gonna do? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. This kid we don't even have uh famous presidential kids running around anymore. All these presidential kids are old.
They'd have a baby. It'd be uh Be game over. Or, Hannah, thank you. It would be. Hannah, thank you so much for the time.

Oh, my goodness. Every time I say that, I just go, damn. Getting closer and closer. to September Weather's starting to feel a little cooler, at least here in Georgia, until it goes back to ninety something degrees soon. Uh but anyway It just means that football is upon us.
College football. NFL football is next Thursday is Calendar has flown on by. Where do we go? It was June. July August Damn.
September. Anyway. Let's take a focus right now. on a few things that took place this day in sports history. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore.
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history. Ski, back in those days. We had radio and you couldn't see anything and it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. And the JR Sport Brief Show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. August 26th. The year 2011, Kyle Bush, she broke a record. 50th NASCAR Bush Series victory. He edged his own teammate Joey Logano in the Food City 250 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.
Kyle Bush, he broke a tie with Mark Martin for the record, and NASCAR's second tier series. Take a listen. This is from ESPN Kyle Bush. on winning the fifty races. It's awesome, you know.
I mean, we had Mark with us and had Mark with us there in Loudoun with us and, you know, just to... A phenomenal way to be able to win 49 races in Tymark Martin and then to come here and to be able to beat his record at Bristol, one of my favorite places and one of the team's favorite places.
So certainly an awesome race tonight. Yeah, we had a great race car. Clint, I thought, was going to get us, and he was going to be the one we were going to have to beat, but turned out I had to race Joey, my own teammate there.
So those guys had a great race car. Yeah, that's something positive. And it happened on this same day?
Well, this is positive too.
Something positive to snap and break a negative. Because on this same day, August 26, 2011, the same day Kyle Bush broke the record, the Tulsa shock. They broke the longest losing streak it was snapped in WNBA history. They won 77-75 over the LA Sparks. The shock at the time had a record of 2 and 25.
You heard me correctly, two wins. 25 losses. They had 20 straight losses. In this game. Until Charles Swoops hit a jumper to win with about three seconds left.
Let's take a listen to this report. From KJRH on Cheryl Swoops. Stopping the losing. What is losing?
Well, losing is a disease as contagious as polio. Losing is a disease as contagious as bubonic plague. Attacking one, but infecting all. But curable. One of the great quotes from the natural and one of the Tulsa shock have lived out over the last 20 games until last night.
Breaking the cycle. Fourth quarter, 25 seconds on the clock. Tulsa up by two, but the LA Sparks hit the time bucket with 22 seconds left. It feels all too familiar. But this would be a different night.
The shot clock turned off. Tulsa has the last shot. Cheryl swoops one-on-one. She takes her defender off the dribble. Clock winds down.
Little dribble drive, and she will put up the shot, and it is good. Cheryl Swoops seals the win, ending the 20-game losing streak. Shock winned. Man. Losing is a disease.
Don't be a loser, okay? August 26, 2016. Oh, this man lost his job. He made some money, he made a point. This is the day Colin Kaepernick.
He knelt in protest. Join the U.S. national anthem being played in San Diego. 49ers was getting ready to take on the Chargers. And we heard Colin Kaepernick's explanation after the game.
This is what he said. There is police brutality. People of color have been targeted by police.
So that's a large part of it. And they're government officials. They're put in place by the government. No, that's something that this country has to change. There have been situations where I feel like I've been ill-treated.
Yes, but. This stand wasn't for me. This stand wasn't. Because I feel like I'm being put down Uh In any kind of way, this is because I'm seeing things happen to people that don't have a voice. Hey man, I can appreciate that.
And he paid for it with his career.
Okay, he certainly did. He got a settlement from the NFL. Who knows what came out if he didn't take the money? But he did. August 26th, 2020.
2017. Floyd Mayweather Jr., Connor McGregor, they had a fight. Or, whatever the hell you want to call it, Mayweather knocked him out in the 10th round. Conor McGregor. Got tired.
Mayweather finished his boxing career. He said, I'm done. 50 and O. It's been 2017. Take a listen to this courtesy of Showtime.
Now he's got him in the corner.
Now he's just sitting duck. McGregor hit with a right hand. And he tries to survive. He is loose. My wandering legs, he's about to go.
Boyd Mayweather has to quickly go on the way. A short left hook, another hook, and it's over. Robert Byrne says it's over. Wings it all. McGregor was hurt on Robin Legs.
He might be. But Boyd Maywa dropping nearly grasslands. Stop on the reflector. Listen, man, Floyd Mayweather was playing with that guy in that match, okay? He was just making sure that everybody was getting their money's worth.
If he wanted to knock the living hell out of Conor McGregor, he would have done it earlier. And he knew that he was built for the long run, and he beat him at the end, and they both got rich. Burr. Rich error August 26th. 2024.
Boston Red Sox catcher. Danny Jansen, he became the first Major League Baseball player. to play for two damn teams. In the same damn game.
Okay, the Red Sox was taking on a Blue Jays. On a game that was suspended June 26th due to weather. And then he was traded. Prior to them restarting the game, listen to this report from CBC in Canada. At Boston's Fenway Park, another quirky chapter in baseball's rich history.
You know, there's always a chance you can come to the ballpark and see something you've never seen before. It's going to happen today, and it involves Danny Jansen. Catcher Danny Jansen did what no other player has ever done. Becoming the first major leaguer to play for both teams in the same game. Definitely grateful for the opportunity to be in that position.
One of those crazy things about this game, and definitely an oddity. Wait, it just What? How is this even possible? That sounds weird, right? Flash back to exactly two months ago when this game began.
Janssen, the longtime Toronto Blue Jays backstop, fouled off the first pitch of his at-bat. Then the skies opened up. The game was paused and when the rain didn't let up, It was not resumed until Monday. Two months is a long time in baseball and a lot has happened since then. Man, that's crazy.
That is absolutely nuts. I mean, baseball has been around so damn long. That at any point in time you're gonna get something eventually that is uh Just weird. That was just Last year. The Blue Jays beat the Red Sox.
Seven. to three. He played on both teams. It's pretty. They're pretty hilarious.
What does this box go look like? The bot? Wait, where the hell is it? Yeah, I'll I'll look at it. Maybe it's the one set for June, maybe?

in sports history. What a world. Yeah, I can't be two places. Who could be two places in one time? Superman?
