Patrick Mahomes addresses Taylor Swift's ‘Swifties' crashing Chiefs training camp

Patrick Mahomes addresses Taylor Swift's 'Swifties' crashing Chiefs training camp originally appeared on The Sporting News Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a largely detached attitude when it comes to the fanfare his teammate Travis Kelce and world-renowned pop-star girlfriend Taylor Swift have created with their several-year relationship. Mahomes enjoys the fanfare to a degree – he joked that the two being a real couple was something 'I gotta see it until I believe it' – but he also wants to keep things focused on football. Mahomes always defaults to getting business done on the field when he feels he's getting too deep into the celebrity gossip. Sometimes, that gets difficult when an army of Swift's fans is all of a sudden die-hard Chiefs fans. Mahomes addressed the 'Swifties' invading training camp for the chance of meeting their idol. 'I'm interested to see what camp looks like this year. Obviously, we got a big fan base with the Swifties coming. I'm interested to see if it's even crazier, if that makes sense,' Mahomes said on the ESPN docuseries, 'The Kingdom.' Mahomes admitted he's more of a background character in his and wife Brittany's relationship with Kelce and Swift. 'They didn't call me. They called Brittany. I was in the back of the Facetime,' Mahomes recently told reporters. Needless to say, Mahomes seeks a much different spotlight than Kelce does. And it's fair to say that Swift's arrival has coincided, if not directly caused, the quarterback-tight end duo to grow apart. Kelce's numbers and general performance have taken a major hit since Swift arrived. FS1 host Jason McIntyre sees a drop-off from the Chiefs with Swift, and all her Swifties, in tow. McIntyre tabbed Kansas City as a non-playoff team this coming season. 'T-Swift drops new album, as T-Kelce drops out of playoffs,' McIntyre joked on 'The Herd.' 'I'm sorry, I got to stick to it guys. I've been on this boat for months. I get it, the wide receiver room should be I got to see it. 'I don't see it from Kelce, I didn't see it in the playoffs. Obviously we're Taylor Swift fans here on the show, but I'm sorry, I see some drop off from the Chiefs. 'It's tough to stay on top forever without reinventing yourself and I didn't see the reinvention this offseason...I know it's crazy, but I don't have the Chiefs in the playoffs and I'm sticking with it.' Mahomes may never outright admit it, but it's fair to wonder if he wishes the Swift hysteria had never happened.

Tristan Rogers, who played super spy Robert Scorpio on ‘General Hospital,' dies at 79

Tristan Rogers, who played legacy character Robert Scorpio on ABC's 'General Hospital,' died Friday, less than one month after he made a special appearance on the soap opera. He was 79. 'The entire 'General Hospital' family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers' passing,' said Frank Valentini, the show's executive producer, in a statement. 'Tristan has captivated our fans for 45 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio).' Born in Melbourne, Australia, Rogers' first foray into performing was in his early twenties and playing drums in a rock band with a group of friends. They weren't successful so Rogers turned to commercial work and modeling to earn some money. When the band dissolved, Rogers decided to give acting a try. After various roles in Australia, he also worked as a DJ and eventually moved to Los Angeles to try to break into Hollywood. He said casting directors were initially turned off by his accent but he eventually landed a two-day role on 'General Hospital' in 1980. 'I had no idea at the point how big the show was,' Rogers told fellow 'General Hospital' actor Maurice Benard on the YouTube show, 'State of Mind with Maurice Benard' in 2022. 'I had no name. I was brought in expressly to beat up the hero, Luke, (played by Anthony Geary), and then disappear,' Rogers said. His first day was half-over when then-executive producer Gloria Monty asked if he would like to stay on. They had no character written for him so for three weeks Monty asked him to just appear in scenes 'looking furtive, looking suspicious' until they came up with a storyline. It was decided he would play a spy known as 'CK8' and eventually he was given the name Robert Scorpio. The character would remain a fixture in Port Charles for the rest of Rogers' life, even when he wasn't a current cast member. Scorpio's on again/off again romance with Emma Samms' character, Holly Sutton, remained a favorite among fans. Scorpio also had a romance, and many storylines with another spy, Anna Devane, played by Finola Hughes. Scorpio and Devane shared a daughter, Robin, played by Kimberly McCullough. Samms returned to the show for a stint last fall where it was revealed that Scorpio was the father of her adult daughter, Sasha Gilmore (played by Sofia Mattson.) Rogers and Samms left the show together in November 2024 in scenes taped with a nod to 'Casablanca.' He returned to the show in July for one episode when Sasha arrived to his home in France with her new baby. It was then revealed that Rogers had lung cancer Rogers' other acting credits include 'The Bold and the Beautiful,' 'The Young & the Restless' and 'Studio City,' which won him outstanding supporting actor in a digital drama series at the Daytime Emmy Awards. He is survived by his wife, Teresa Parkerson, and a daughter and a son.
