"Last night was epic": NFL tight end George Kittle's wife Claire shares glimpses from TEU Ladies' night in Nashville restaurant with Taylor Swift
"Last night was epic." That's how Claire Kittle, wife of San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, described her unforgettable evening out with
Taylor Swift
and the TEU crew—and judging by the photos, she wasn't exaggerating.
In a series of Instagram Story posts that ignited Swiftie and NFL fandoms in kind, Claire posted never-before-seen shots from a girls' night out in a Nashville restaurant while at the fifth annual Tight End University (TEU) event.
George Kittle's wife Claire shares unseen photos of a star-studded night at TEU featuring Taylor Swift
TEU, which debuted in 2021, is more than simply an NFL tight ends skills camp—it's a brotherhood-forming tradition. During three days, league vets and up-and-comers undergo film breakdowns, on-field training, strength & recovery, and some hardcore team bonding.
Among the A-list attendees was Taylor Swift, who accompanied longtime beau
Travis Kelce
to the offseason NFL gathering hosted by Kelce, Kittle, and former NFL tight end Greg Olsen.
Claire and Taylor were seen laughing, taking selfies, and having a great time together with Kara Olsen, the wife of Greg Olsen. It's a glimpse of TEU fans don't often get—the sisterhood in support of the brotherhood—and Swift looked perfectly comfortable surrounded by the NFL families.

But Monday night's intimate dinner in Nashville added a high degree of celebrity to the annual ritual. With Taylor Swift among the guests, the night immediately went viral, yet the atmosphere never got out of hand or cool—a genuine "friends and football" vibe.
With this recent TEU gathering, it's safe to say Swift's connections to the Niners are increasing, although her heart remains red and gold for Kansas City.
Claire Kittle's photos with Taylor Swift are more than entertaining celebrity fluff—they point out the key but often hidden role played by women behind the scenes in professional sports. Whether providing support for training, raising funds, raising families, or simply cementing friendships like we witnessed at TEU, the NFL's big family is better with them on board.

Odell Beckham Jr. angrily shuts down retirement rumors; drops massive hint about future
Odell Beckham Jr. has firmly denied rumors of his retirement, posting a strong message on X (formerly Twitter) to clear the air. Odell Beckham Jr. is not retiring.(AFP) 'Not done yet… thanks for hr concerns and have a blessed day,' he wrote on Tuesday. Hours later, he followed up with a more pointed response: 'No seriously. Plz stop reading everything on the internet, and stop texting me happy retirement b4 u piss me off. That will get no response. I promise u the day I'm done I will let u know. Again if u text me happy retirement im just gon have to block u. Thanks.' The posts came after a fake X account impersonating ESPN insider Adam Schefter falsely 'announced' the 32-year-old wide receiver's retirement. The parody account claimed Beckham was calling it quits after 10 seasons in the NFL, in a post that quickly racked up over 2 million views. The now-viral tweet read: 'After 10 seasons in the NFL, Odell Beckham Jr. has decided to retire. Beckham Jr. played for the Giants, Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins. He announced Tuesday.' Beckham was quick to respond directly in the comments, writing: 'LOL… when was that announced and by who? That's funny, appreciate the concerns but this ain't over yet.'

Here are latest updates - from Rondale Moore to Jordan Love Beckham's Recent NFL Journey Odell Beckham Jr., a former New York Giants superstar and Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Rams, signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins in May 2024. However, his stint in Miami was short-lived. He appeared in just nine games, making nine catches for 55 yards on 18 targets. In December, the Dolphins and Beckham mutually agreed to part ways. 'It's as simple as, what's the best for both him and the team moving forward. We thought it was a good time to go that direction,' Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly at the time. 'I know his expectations. When you communicate transparently, I know where he's at. This is the best for both parties.' Beckham went unclaimed on waivers and did not sign with another team for the remainder of the 2024 season.

With a versatile moveset, and the chance to catch its Shiny variant, Ho-Oh requires smart planning and the right team to defeat. This Pokemon GO Ho-Oh raid guide breaks down everything you need to know - from its weaknesses and resistances to the best counters and strategies for success. Pokemon GO Ho-Oh Raid Guide: Typing and Battle Profile As a dual Fire and Flying type, Ho-Oh has some clear vulnerabilities and notable resistances you should be aware of before entering battle. Ho-Oh's Weaknesses • Rock-type moves: Takes quadruple (4x) damage - this is your most effective option. • Electric-type moves: Deals 1.6x damage. • Water-type moves: Deals 1.6x damage. Ho-Oh's Resistances Ho-Oh resists Bug, Grass, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Ground, and Steel-type attacks, making these far less effective. Avoid using these types when building your raid team. Pokemon GO Ho-Oh Raid Guide: Weather Boosts Pokemon GO Ho-Oh (Image via Niantic) • Sunny and Windy weather will boost Ho-Oh's power, making the battle more difficult. If possible, aim to raid during neutral or cloudy weather. Ho-Oh Moves to Watch Out For Ho-Oh has a diverse charged move pool, which can make certain counters riskier depending on the matchup: • Sacred Fire (Fire) – High damage with a potential attack debuff. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo • Brave Bird (Flying) – Heavy damage but causes self-recoil. • Fire Blast (Fire) – A slower but strong Fire-type option. • Earthquake (Ground) – Dangerous for Rock-types. • Solar Beam (Grass) – Covers Water- and Rock-types.

Ho-Oh Weaknesses to Take Advantage Of • Its 4x weakness to Rock is the biggest factor in beating Ho-Oh quickly. • Electric and Water-types can help balance your team and provide safer switches against Solar Beam or Earthquake.

Once you defeat it, the catch rate is guaranteed for Legendary raids. • Raid Pass Management: Use your free passes wisely during events and aim for multiple raids to maximize rewards. • Shadow Ho-Oh Considerations: Apex Shadow Ho-Oh exists, but purifying it reduces its DPS - so most players keep it as Shadow.

Veteran host and reporter Laura Rutledge will join the network's lead broadcast team as a permanent sideline reporter, working alongside longtime veteran Lisa Salters for all 20 games called by Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Salters. The move cements Rutledge's presence in ESPN's most prestigious NFL property — one that will culminate in the network's first-ever Super Bowl broadcast in February 2027. ESPN names Laura Rutledge as lead ' Monday Night Football ' sideline reporter in biggest career move yet Laura Rutledge, who signed a contract extension earlier this year, is no stranger to NFL sidelines, but this marks her first full-time season with the No. 1 'MNF' crew. The 36-year-old will juggle this assignment with her weekday duties hosting NFL Live. On Mondays, the show will now air directly from the game site, adding a live-event energy to the pregame coverage. 'Monday Night Football is the pinnacle and it's always been a dream of mine,' Rutledge said. 'I still get chills every time I hear the MNF music. Really excited to continue to work as hard as possible to earn this role.' Her promotion also comes with a milestone — she is expected to be on the sidelines when ESPN's top crew calls Super Bowl LXI in 2027. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Gorgeous Female Athletes Did We Get It Right?

It's almost 10 years, and it has gone by in seemingly a blink of an eye,' she reflected. ESPN deepens its sideline lineup While Rutledge takes on her expanded role, Salters — entering her 14th season as ESPN's lead NFL sideline reporter — has also secured a contract extension. The pairing brings together two respected journalists who have developed a strong mentor-mentee relationship.

The network has also bolstered its No. 2 'MNF' crew, adding Katie George and Peter Schrager to work alongside Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky, and Louis Riddick for select games, including four doubleheader weeks and the Week 18 Saturday split. For Rutledge, the upcoming season will demand balance between her live-event duties and her established studio presence.
