Travis Kelce Debuts New Haircut at Chiefs Training Camp
During the Kansas City Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, on July 26, he traded his luscious '90s-era Leonardo DiCaprio 'do for a buzzcut. Ofc, the Chiefs' official Instagram page provided pics of his big chop, and the internet is truly divided.
'Fresh cut Trav 😮💨,' the account captioned his new cut's hard launch.
Naturally, fans flooded the comments section hyping up the Kansas City tight end's new buzz. Some even theorized that his haircut affects his gameplay, writing, 'WE KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. NFL DEFENSES START WORRYING,' and 'Thank God… Cause that haircut last season was the one to blame. We got the dog back 🔥.'
However, those who found the longer style charming started mourning the loss. 'Noooooooooo, I loved '90s heartthrob Trav!' one fan wrote, while another added, 'Oh no I loved '90s boy band Travis.' Others jokingly referred to the chop as 'an angel losing its wings.'
The Happy Gilmore 2 star's transformation comes a few days after the NFL posted another set of photos in the earlier days of KC's training camp. The comments section drew a similar reaction from fans, with some celebrating his 13th season playing for the league.
'Okay 90s rom com heartthrob hair for lucky year 13!!' one fan wrote. Another chimed in, referring to the possibility of Taylor Swift's influence on his hairstyle, 'Everyone say thank you Taylor for this hair 😍😍.'
Others suspect that he made the chop because of the rising temps during training camp.
'He was probably like 'Babe, I'm dying out here,'' one person wrote, also referring to Taylor. Another pointed out, 'I'll miss the hair, but I'm sure it feels so much better now practicing in the heat! And he looks great! 😍🏹💛❤️.'
We hereby conduct this postmortem on Travis's heartthrob hair...gone, but never forgotten.

Christian McCaffrey shines in 49ers camp after injury-filled season
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — In a training camp that has seemed to feature a new injury almost every day for the San Francisco 49ers, the one positive on the injury front has been the health of Christian McCaffrey. After missing almost all of last season with injuries to his Achilles tendon and knee, McCaffrey has been one of the few running backs or receivers to make it through the first five weeks of practice without an injury. While he has gotten some scheduled rest days, McCaffrey has been a near constant on the field and once again looks like the player who transformed the 49ers offense after arriving in a midseason trade in 2022. 'You all have eyes like I do, Christian looks fantastic,' star left tackle Trent Williams said Thursday. 'He looks like Offense Player of the Year Christian. So that's really, really refreshing to see, knowing what he had to deal with last year, just the little nicks and knacks and not being able to do what he loves. To see him out there this year 100% healthy, treating every play like it's his last, playing with his hair on fire. It really motivates the guys when you got a generational talent that brings it to work and to practice every day.' It's a far cry from last season when McCaffrey injured his Achilles tendon early in training camp and missed the first eight games of the season. He rushed for just 202 yards on 50 carries in four games before going down with a season-ending knee injury as he was unable to match his sensational 2023 season. McCaffrey won the AP Offensive Player of the Year that season after leading the NFL with 2,023 yards from scrimmage and tying for the league lead with 21 touchdowns. McCaffrey had missed just one game combined in 2022-23 — a meaningless Week 18 game in the 2023 season for San Francisco when he had a sore calf — after missing 23 games because of injuries in his final two full seasons with Carolina. Coach Kyle Shanahan joked last week that McCaffrey had hit 25 mph on his GPS readings in practice. But no matter what speed McCaffrey has reached, he is looking much healthier than he did a year ago when he missed almost all of training camp. 'Obviously physically he looks great, getting in and out of cuts, running hard. Back to the McCaffrey that we all know,' quarterback Brock Purdy said. 'And then mentally he's just, he's on one, like he's ready to get after it with the season and obviously from beginning to end, like play a whole season and go hard. That's who he is. He keeps telling all of us in the locker room, he's like, 'Dude, I can't wait. I can't wait.'' Roster moves Receiver Skyy Moore passed a physical, completing a trade that sent him to San Francisco from Kansas City. The Niners sent a sixth-round pick in 2027 to the Chiefs for Moore and a 2027 seventh-rounder. Moore gives San Francisco a healthy body at receiver with so many other players hurt or facing a suspension to start the season such as Demarcus Robinson. General manager John Lynch said on his radio show on flagship station KNBR on Thursday that Russell Gage was the latest Niners receiver to get hurt with a knee injury that will likely sideline him for a week or two. San Francisco already is dealing with injuries at receiver to Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins. Moore was drafted by Kansas City in the second round in 2022 but hasn't produced much in his first three seasons. He had 43 catches for 494 yards and one TD in 36 games. He didn't catch a single pass last season because of a core muscle injury. The Niners also made a swap at backup quarterback with the team re-signing Tanner Mordecai after cutting him earlier this month and releasing Nate Sudfeld after two practices. Mordecai should get time in the exhibition finale on Saturday against the Chargers. Cornerback Tre Brown was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Brown was signed in March to be in the mix at either slot or outside cornerback after spending four seasons with Seattle. But he fell down the depth chart early in camp and now is shut down with an undisclosed injury. ___ AP NFL:

Jets offense will lean hard into its obvious — and violent — strengths
Take flight with the Jets Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off. tRY IT NOW There's been a recurring theme emanating from Aaron Glenn's first Jets training camp as a head coach. Let's get physical. Physicality, of course, is required of any team that's going to be successful in the NFL. The question is this: Will the Aaron Glenn Jets differentiate themselves as the more physical team on game days? Friday night's preseason finale at MetLife Stadium against the Super Bowl champion Eagles, even though most of the starters are not expected to play for either team, will be the Jets' last chance to display that physicality before the real games begin in two weeks.

Michael Franti's former bandmate: ‘He has always been about control'
As multiple women come forward with allegations of misconduct against Bay Area musician Michael Franti, one of his earliest collaborators says he is not surprised. Rono Tse, who co-founded the politically charged hip-hop duo Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy with Franti in the early 1990s, claims Franti cut him out of publishing rights when the group signed with Island Records, and alienated fellow bandmates even as he preached about community and social justice. 'I basically don't have my publishing because of him,' Tse told the Chronicle in an exclusive interview Thursday, Aug. 21. 'That's what Michael does.' Tse, a San Francisco native, said he later had to block attempts to use the band's name without him after their split. 'If you're going to be righteous, be righteous,' Tse said of Franti. 'Don't play this chameleon.' While Canal did not name Franti, she has previously credited him with discovering her in 2018. Shortly after Canal posted her account to Instagram, Franti took to the social media platform to deny any abuse, though he admitted to a romantic relationship outside his marriage. 'The relationship was completely consensual, based on mutual feelings and attraction,' he said in a statement earlier this month. Other women, including writer Minda Lane, have since come forward to describe manipulative behavior spanning years. 'What I realize now is that he probably never meant the sweet or complimentary things he said to me,' Lane wrote in a lengthy Substack post about her experience with Franti. 'He only said what he needed to to keep me in thrall so I would remain available when he wanted to use me.' Franti, 59, has since parted ways with his management, seen his Soulshine at Sea cruise canceled after artists withdrew and called off his Welcome to the Family tour, which was to stop in Saratoga next week. 'My spirit isn't in the place it needs to be to get on stage,' he explained in announcing the scrapped shows. Franti rose to prominence in the 1990s with socially conscious lyrics about racism, the media and homophobia, eventually leading his band Spearhead to international recognition. Born in Oakland to a mixed-race couple who placed him up for adoption, he was raised by a Finnish American family alongside adopted brothers. His upbringing shaped a worldview that often surfaced in his music, from critiques of media and war to calls for social unity. With Tse, he formed the Beatnigs and later the Disposable Heroes, known for politically charged tracks like 'Television, the Drug of the Nation' and a cover of Dead Kennedys' 'California Uber Alles.' The group toured with U2 and Rage Against the Machine before Franti launched Spearhead, shifting toward a blend of reggae, funk and pop with a message of optimism. Tse recalled that even during the height of the Disposable Heroes, Franti's private conduct contrasted with his public activism. 'He would say one thing about community, and I would bring my friends to help, but then he had problems with that,' Tse said. He alleged Franti undercut bandmates, slept with women in their circle and at times acted in ways Tse described as erratic or inappropriate. After leaving the group, Tse remained active in music, working with Bay Area hip-hop collectives such as Mystik Journeymen and producing projects with independent artists. More recently, he co-founded Deep Entertainment, a label that focuses on Oakland rappers and underground talent. Meanwhile, festival favorites like 'Say Hey (I Love You)' and 'Sound of Sunshine' helped build Franti's reputation as a barefoot performer who paired music with calls for social justice. He also founded a nonprofit, Do It For the Love, and in 2011, opened Soulshine, a yoga retreat in Bali, with Carla Swanson. Swanson is among the women who have shared similar allegations of misconduct via Canal. 'I'm aware of the recent posts this artist made about our relationship, and while I support her need to express herself publicly, the relationship was completely consensual, based on mutual feelings and attraction,' Franti wrote in a statement rebutting Canal's allegations earlier this week. 'I vehemently dispute any version of the story that says otherwise.' The musician, a regular attraction at local festivals such as BottleRock Napa Valley and Stern Grove, added: 'I will however, take full accountability for not better recognizing the power imbalance as she was younger than me, and I was the headliner on tour. For those reasons alone, I never should have allowed the relationship to become romantic.' For Tse, however, the dissonance between Franti's public image and private behavior is familiar. 'Michael is charismatic, but he has always been about control,' Tse said. 'He talks about changing the world, but it's also about capturing people's wallets.'
