Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac back with another Sports Report where we’ve got a Hall Of Fame induction, Yankees hiring a new coach, scores, and more! But first!
OK…please DO NOT shoot the messenger…this story is about…Taylor Swift and Football. Hold on! Before you throw your phone at my head…if you are a Taylor-being-shown-on-TV-at-every-Chiefs-game hater…then this story is for you! Because I think the honeymoon period is officially OVER between the all-important Swift-Kelce camp and the Mahomes camp. And here’s why!
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – OCTOBER 22: Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes react to a touchdown scored by Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs during the second quarter of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 22, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.

A few old tweets from Brittany Mahomes have popped up and they show her hating on…Taylor Swift! YUH-YOH! In 2012, Brittany Tweeted this to Taylor: “I wanna know when [you’re] gonna find something different to write about besides boys and relationships.” And then the following year, Brittany posted an angry face emoji along with the phrase “Taylor Swift winning everything.”

YIKES! We know that Taylor Swift and her fans, the Swifties, do not condone any smack-talk aimed in Taylor’s direction. And, sure, the tweets are a decade old. But still…could I see Taylor developing a grudge against Brittany because of this? One can only hope! Because if that happens…we’ll stop getting Taylor and Brittany on our TV’s during the games and more Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce (two future Hall Of Famers)! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents!

Yanks Hire New Hitting Coach
Baseball. James Rowson was hired Monday as the Yankees’ hitting coach after a season in which New York finished with the next-to-worst batting average in the major leagues. Rowson has reportedly developed a good relationship with Aaron Judge in the minor leagues…and will be replacing Sean Casey…who will probably go back to the TV studio. Still…no word on Brian Cashman!
