Good morning, fans! Davey Mac here with the final Sports Report of the week for ya! We’ve got all kinds of news and scores in this edition for ya…but first!
This Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift nonsense has officially gotten OUT OF CONTROL. They’re on the news constantly and on TV 24/7. So apologies in advance…but I gotta do this story because I’m a huge Giants fan.
People magazine reached out to legendary Giants quarterback Eli Manning about a suddenly controversial issue (at least for Chiefs fans it is). Should Travis Kelce be visiting and spending time with Taylor Swift on the Chiefs bye week or should he stay home and get rest?

Well, Eli has an opinion: “I think the bye week is a great time to get away from football and I think that’s the idea.” Eli is all for Kelce getting a little R&R with Taylor…and hey…if Eli says it’s ok…it’s ok!

We ain’t gonna argue with Mr. Manning…winner of two Super Bowls and two Super Bowl MVP’s! So have fun, Travis and Taylor, you two crazy kids! Eli approves! However, the rest of us are questioning our reality and are wondering when Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift became the American version of Prince Charles and Princess Diana! Enough already! Story over!
