Kirk Cousins trolls Travis Kelce for his back hair: ‘God bless Taylor Swift'
The Falcons quarterback weighed in on the photos of the Chiefs tight end that circulated recently during an interview with E! News earlier this week.
'God bless Taylor Swift for being good with that,' Cousins said. 'That's awesome. Good for her.'

Cousins assumed it was 'just genetics' that led to Kelce's fuzzy look.

'Thankfully, I don't have to deal with that,' Cousins joked. 'But I'm in a locker room a lot. That's just a part of life. It is what it is.'

Kelce was spotted on Tuesday in Miami, where he at one point took off his black T-shirt to reveal a hairy back as he stepped into the back of a car.
Last year, Kelce's brother, Jason, told a story about his sibling's furry body before Travis revealed a hilarious nickname he earned during his college days in an episode of the pair's 'New Heights' podcast.

'When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in the playground quite a bit,' Jason said of his brother's time with the Bearcats. 'And anyone who has ever played pickup basketball, you know there's shirts and skins.'

Travis said he sported a 'big beard,' 'long hair' and 'the chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair' at the time.
'It's just a big ole Yeti out there, man,' Travis continued. 'All the homies on the court were calling me 'Big Yeti.''
Aside from getting spotted in South Florida, Kelce and Swift have had a quiet offseason together after Kansas City's 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025 this past February.

Wife's 90K Run Inspires Dean Burmester Outplay Jon Rahm at LIV Golf Chicago
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. South Africa's Dean Burmester delivered one of the most stirring finishes of the LIV Golf season, clinching the Chicago title and a $4 million payday from the $25 million purse on Sunday. His victory came after a dramatic three-man playoff against Jon Rahm and Josele Ballester, capped by a six-foot birdie putt at Bolingbrook Golf Club. The 36-year-old pro began the final round with a two-shot lead but stumbled early with three consecutive bogeys. His even-par 71 brought him to 9-under for the tournament, matched by Rahm and Ballester after both birdied the 18th in regulation. On the playoff hole, Rahm and Ballester missed birdie attempts from 12 feet. But the South African professional rolled in his putt perfectly and pumped his fist in triumph. DEAN BURMESTER WINS IN CHICAGO 🏆🍾 He takes his second LIV Golf Individual Title 💪#LIVGolfChicago @stingergc_ — LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) August 10, 2025 "This has been emotional," Burmester expressed after his win during Sunday's post-round conference. "Since kind of before Virginia, I've been going through a bit of a rough time, personal stuff, and I've just been grinding and trying to get better." The source of his strength? His wife, Melissa Burmester. During the week of LIV Golf West Virginia in June, Melissa completed an ultra-marathon of 90 kilometers in nine and a half hours. Burmester watched her finish from his phone and found the exact inspiration he needed on Sunday. "That Sunday I was on my phone watching her, and that truly gave me an inspiration to kind of -- if she can do that, she can run 90 whatever kilometers in a day, nine and a half hours or whatever it was, then I can do anything." He added later during the press conference, "For her to achieve that really kind of changed my life, and that drove me to want to do the same for them, for her and my kids. That's what today (Sunday) was about, because today was not easy."

(Photo by) More Getty Images Burmester and Melissa met in South Africa in the early 2010s and have been married since 2014. Now they are a family of four having two children. The LIV golf pro often credits their partnership for grounding his career through its highs and lows. Melissa, being a dedicated athlete herself, has supported Burmester through his transition from the DP World Tour to LIV Golf. Rahm carded a final-round 69 but couldn't convert in the playoff. His runner-up finish earned him $1.875 million and narrowed the gap in the individual standings, where he now trails Joaquin Niemann by just 12.27 points. That said, Niemann, who finished tied for 17th at 2-under, still remains the season-long leader. Burmester's win also helped his team, Stinger GC, secure the team title in a separate playoff against Torque GC. More Golf: FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025: $20M Purse Breakdown as Justin Rose Wins

Steelers Linked to Superstar Trade Option to Help Aaron Rodgers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Throughout the course of the 2025 NFL offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers went all-in on competing for a Super Bowl run. Aaron Rodgers was signed to a one-year deal in free agency, while the team also made trades to acquire DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and Jonnu Smith. Rodgers is on a one-year deal and plans to retire following the upcoming season. If that is indeed the case, the Steelers may truly have a one-year window to win a championship. Keeping that in mind, it seems likely that Pittsburgh is still open to moves that would improve its Super Bowl chances. One option may come available.

Photo byMiami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been mentioned in trade rumors all offseason long. While he's still on the team, that could change. Read more: Browns Insider Reveals Bad News for Shedeur Sanders Recently, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler spoke out about Hill. He revealed that the elite wide receiver might still be a trade option. "I have talked to a few teams who are at least monitoring his future a little bit," Fowler said. "Could he be a potential trade target? Now, I know the Dolphins earlier this summer were telling teams, 'No, we're not trading Tyreek Hill.' But they just wonder, is he going to be available? "It could be wishful thinking, maybe they want him to be available. But he's a player, when I bring up to teams, 'Hey, who is sort of a trade target you're watching?' — they bring up Tyreek Hill. So, we'll see. He's a big option for Tua [Tagovailoa], that would be a major move if they did move away from him." Who could those teams be that are monitoring his availability? Noah Strackbein of Pittsburgh Steelers on SI has suggested the Steelers as one of them. "Maybe Pittsburgh isn't at the top of the list for Hill, but it's hard to imagine they aren't having some conversation about it," Strackbein wrote. "And if they think they can pull off a deal within the limits they deem acceptable, they could re-ignite their interest in the Dolphins star wide receiver." A wide receiver duo of Metcalf and Hill would be nearly impossible to stop. They would form by far the best wide receiver room that Rodgers has ever worked with. Read more: Bears, Vikings Linked as Possible Trade Partners in Suggested QB Trade Last season with the Dolphins, Hill had a down year. He still caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns. Back in 2023, he racked up 119 catches for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns, while totaling 119 catches for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022. There are few offensive players in the NFL more impactful or dynamic than Hill. If he's made available, it would be shocking if Pittsburgh isn't among the teams pursuing him. Expect to continue hearing rumors about Hill moving into the future. The Steelers are a team worth keeping an eye on as a possible trade suitor.
