On April 23, when WR for Kansas City Chiefs, JuJu Smith-Schuster's new purple hairdo came out on cyberspace, it did not garner any sort of attention. But on May 30, when the official Kansas City Chiefs' X account shared a lovely smiling picture of JuJu Smith-Schuster flaunting his purple hairdo, it caught attention like viral wildfire! One fan acclaimed, 'Purple hair ready to play🏈' While another fan called, 'It's a Taylor Swift thing? Ok I get it'.
A third fan went too blunt by saying, 'We sporting Halloween decorations on our heads now?' Our hairdo's not our own now? Many compliments came JuJu's way, but so did un-called-for criticisms!

'Men do not do this' - one fan wrote for JuJu Smith-Schuster's purple hairdo. But then an NFL player did it 5 years ago, and fans loved it!
DK Metcalf, the famous wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, sported purple hair back in December 2020. He shared a few snaps on his IG with a caption:
The one's that hate me the most look just like me.
IG users spammed his IG post with comments like, 'The hair 🔥🔥🔥', 'My favorite hair color', 'you are literally the finest man to grace this earth', 'Love the purple 💜, 'So juju hates you?', and 'How can anyone look as good as you.'
A lot of criticism came JuJu Smith-Schuster's way for going all purple on his hair

Why not red to match the team colors? Or yellow even. Why purple?
Purple is the new black
This looks fake
Looks terrible
JuJu is relevant again. Good move on his part.

While Taylor Swift chills with Selena Gomez, Travis Kelce hangs out with Patrick Mahomes and brother Jason in KC

Travis Kelce parties in Kansas City with Mahomes while Taylor Swift catches up with Selena Gomez in NYC On Saturday, May 31, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended the 16th annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend, an event that's become a major fixture in the city's philanthropic calendar. Held at the T-Mobile Center, the comedy show raised a whopping $4.5 million for Children's Mercy Hospital — a figure that speaks volumes about the heart behind the laughs. Kelce wasn't just another face in the crowd. The NFL star showed up in style, rocking a sleek black Palm Angels tracksuit and a Miracle Academy trucker hat, instantly catching the eye of fans and fellow celebrities alike. Clips from the evening showcased his infectious energy — from catching a football tossed into the audience to lifting Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd like a linebacker in the end zone. He was also seen laughing it up with actor Jason Sudeikis and goofing around with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his brother Jason Kelce, who made a surprise appearance despite retiring from the NFL earlier this year. In one memorable moment caught on video, Travis wrapped an arm around Jason as they grooved along to music, embodying the brotherly bond that fans of their New Heights podcast have come to love. Mahomes, ever the charismatic team leader, mingled in the background, sharing laughs with guests and showing his support for the cause. Back in New York, Taylor Swift marked a personal and professional milestone with longtime bestie Selena Gomez. The pop icon recently regained ownership of her first six studio albums — a career-defining move that sent waves through the music industry. After a lengthy battle with former manager Scooter Braun over the rights to her masters, Swift took control by reportedly buying them back for a staggering $360 million. 'You belong with me. 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤,' Swift wrote in a clever nod to her hit song, announcing the acquisition with a series of photos showing her surrounded by those early records in a portrait studio. The moment was celebrated across social media, with Gomez posting on Instagram Stories: "Yes you did that Tay. So proud!" Later that night, the two were spotted deep in conversation over dinner at Midtown's Monkey Bar, where the restaurant had closed early for a private event. Swift looked radiant in a black dress, while Gomez wore a chic brown ensemble. Though it wasn't clear whether the pair were behind the bar's early closing, the timing seemed fitting — the evening felt like a private toast to one of Swift's biggest victories yet. As Taylor and Selena celebrated empowerment and independence in New York, Travis led the charge for community and compassion in Kansas City. Different cities, different vibes — but together, Swift and Kelce reminded fans that no matter how high their star rises, their roots still matter.

Chiefs' 2025 comeback mission begins with Super Bowl heartbreak and Patrick Mahomes' hunger for revenge
Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs lock in on redemption after Super Bowl 59 heartbreak (Getty Images) There's no greater motivator in sports than defeat, and for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the sting of Super Bowl 59 is still fresh. Despite being one of the most dominant teams in the NFL over the past six years, their brutal 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles has become a moment of reckoning—a humbling defeat that could either signal the end of an era or spark the fire for a legendary comeback. Chiefs turn Super Bowl 59 agony into ammo as Patrick Mahomes plots fiery 2025 resurgence The Chiefs have been the standard-bearers for winning in recent years. Since Mahomes took over as the starter in 2018, Kansas City has secured seven straight AFC West titles and three Super Bowl rings. They were one game away from completing a historic three-peat, only to fall hard on the NFL's grandest stage in New Orleans. That loss not only shattered their dream run but also left many questioning if their dominance was finally coming to an end. Chiefs Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Select Players Speak with the Media | MAY 29, 2025 Yet, Mahomes isn't dwelling on doubt. Instead, he's turning it into drive. 'Every team's different, and you don't want to miss an opportunity, but when you lose a Super Bowl, I think there's sometimes in those workouts where you may be a little tired, you have that extra added motivation to finish even harder,' Mahomes said. These aren't just words. They reflect a deeper understanding that the fire to reclaim greatness often burns brightest after the toughest losses. "I think it'll be good for us at the end of the day. Looking back, you want to win the game, but a lot of these guys hadn't lost one, hadn't ended the season on a loss, so I'm sure they'll be motivated to go back out there and try to find a way to get to the Super Bowl and win it this year." The Super Bowl defeat wasn't just another loss—it was an emotional body blow. For many of Kansas City's younger stars, like Trent McDuffie, George Karlaftis, and Isiah Pacheco from the 2022 draft class, it was the first time they experienced ending a season in disappointment. And that taste of defeat? It's become a rallying cry. 'It definitely serves as motivation going into the season. You never want to end the season like that,' Karlaftis said during OTAs. 'It's gonna be motivation for this year for sure.' The blowout loss exposed some glaring flaws, especially on offense. The Chiefs' offensive line collapsed under pressure, allowing Mahomes to be sacked a career-high 36 times last season—including six times in the Super Bowl alone. His passing game also took a dip, recording a career-low 245 yards per game and tying his career-low of 26 touchdown passes. These numbers paint the picture of a team that, despite its pedigree, showed vulnerability at the worst time. But what separates great teams from good ones is how they respond. And the Chiefs are responding with urgency. From top to bottom, there's a renewed focus on addressing the issues that led to their downfall—revamping the offensive line, reigniting the passing attack, and rebuilding chemistry with a roster that's seen both youth rise and veterans age. Still, critics are circling. Some believe Kansas City's reign is over. The idea of the 'falling empire' looms large. But if history has shown anything, it's that Mahomes and company thrive under pressure. Every time they've been doubted, they've bounced back stronger. 'When you lose a Super Bowl…you have that extra added motivation to finish even harder, finish even stronger,' Mahomes reiterated. And that's exactly the mindset driving Kansas City into the 2025 season—a season not just about redemption, but about proving they're far from done. So, can they do it again? Can the Chiefs rise from the ashes of Super Bowl 59 and reclaim their throne? One thing is certain: they're not going down without a fight.

Are the Chiefs following Tom Brady's mid-career slump before bouncing back with another ring?
Chiefs' Super Bowl reign might be over—analyst draws shocking parallel with Tom Brady's fourth ring wait (Getty Images) After years of dominance, the Kansas City Chiefs have become a familiar fixture on the NFL's grandest stage. But following a crushing 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, questions are beginning to swirl. Have the Chiefs finally hit a wall, or are they simply reloading for another run? Is this the beginning of the end for Kansas City's dynasty led by Mahomes and Kelce? For Fox Sports analyst Jason McIntyre, the answer seems clear. 'It's over for the Chiefs, guys. You had a great run… Tom Brady won in 2004, had three Super Bowls at the time. It took him a decade to win another one. This stuff is not easy. Just because you have Mahomes and Reid does not guarantee you a spot in the Super Bowl,' he stated on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. Why Mahomes, Kelce & Chiefs are DONE being contenders | THE HERD NFL McIntyre is not alone in his skepticism. He believes Kansas City is entering its own version of the Brady-Belichick drought—an era marked by regular-season success but postseason disappointment. 'Again, history is just a guide here, but it took Brady a decade before winning another. They were favored against the Giants in two Super Bowl trips, they lost both of them,' he added. The doubts don't stop at Super Bowl expectations. McIntyre even went as far as to claim that the Chiefs might not make the playoffs at all this season. A bold prediction, especially considering the talent still on their roster. But his reasoning stems from the meteoric rise of their AFC West rivals. The Denver Broncos have potentially struck gold with quarterback Bo Nix. The Los Angeles Chargers have retooled their offense, adding high-impact rookies like Joe Alt and Omarion Hampton. Even the Las Vegas Raiders, desperate to turn things around, are starting the 2025 season with a completely new trio at head coach, quarterback, and running back. It's become evident that Mahomes and the Chiefs have inadvertently ignited a divisional arms race. Teams are no longer content with second place—they're building specifically to topple the reigning kings. On top of that, the dreaded 'Super Bowl hangover' looms large. 'The recent history of Super Bowl losers ain't pretty. Go ask the Niners, who fell apart after that overtime loss. The Chiefs beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. And what happened to the Eagles? They fell apart the next year. There is a bit of a curse for the Super Bowl loser. Oh, and by the way, 12-0 in one-score games last year. Good luck duplicating that one,' McIntyre pointed out. The loss to the Eagles wasn't just a defeat—it was nearly historic in its margin. Had it not been for two late touchdown passes from Mahomes to rookie Xavier Worthy, the game could've gone down as the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history. The Chiefs, once praised not just for their on-field talent but also for their off-field sparkle thanks to the Taylor Swift buzz, are suddenly facing criticism from all corners. Yet, if there's one player you don't bet against, it's the man known as 'Magic Man.' Patrick Mahomes has rewritten the rules of quarterback play since entering the league. And now, with the 2025 season approaching, the Chiefs are hungry for redemption. The offseason saw plenty of roster movement. While Kansas City lost several key contributors, they also made strategic additions aimed at solving last year's problems. Veterans like Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, possibly entering their final season together with Mahomes, are laser-focused on one mission—getting back to the Super Bowl and finishing the job. Pro Football Network's latest power rankings placed the Chiefs at No. 5, a respectable spot but not where reigning champions want to be. According to simulations, the team has only a 21.2% chance of reaching the AFC Championship Game. But those are just numbers—and Mahomes has always been more than stats. For a team that's lived under the brightest lights, the pressure is nothing new. The 2025 season could mark a turning point—either the beginning of the end, or the start of a bold new chapter in the Chiefs' dynasty. One thing's for sure: doubting Mahomes has never been a good bet. Also Read: Why the Jets are lucky to have avoided the unpredictable Aaron Rodgers situation this offseason
