Known for his lively celebrations, Kelce kept the tradition alive during his postgame interview with Jim Nantz. While he usually belts out the Beastie Boys' classic "Fight for Your Right," this time, the star tight end switched it up, singing KC & The Sunshine Band's disco hit "Get Down Tonight."
'Do a little dance! Make a little love!' Kelce crooned, urging the crowd to join in for the iconic chorus. But the response wasn't quite what he anticipated. The energy fell flat, leaving the moment feeling a bit awkward.

Retired Patriots WR believes he could return to NFL at new position
Retired Patriots WR believes he could return to NFL at new position If given the time to make the transition, former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan believes that he could make an NFL comeback as a punter. Hogan, 37, worked in as a backup punter in college. So he has the legitimate skill to play the position. But could he do it at the NFL level? He seems to believe so. 'I can kick the ball. To this day, I believe I could've lasted in this league as a punter," Hogan said on the Patriots Report with Price & Hogan. "I promise you I could've. My confidence level of my athletic ability is far beyond probably a lot of other people's are. I was a punter in college, I was a backup punter in college.' Patriots fans didn't know Hogan for his kicking skills as much as they knew him for his receiving abilities. The two-time Super Bowl champion racked up 107 receptions for 1,651 yards and 12 touchdowns in three seasons with New England. His best year came in 2016, when he caught 38 passes for 680 yards and four touchdowns. It would be quite the comeback if Hogan returned as a punter. One would have to imagine he has the connections to get a look if he's serious. It would be incredible to see the wide receiver come out of retirement. There's no doubt that he is a solid all-around athlete, and his past experiences would undoubtedly work to his benefit. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Ex-Broncos pass rusher dominated the UFL this spring
Ex-Broncos pass rusher dominated the UFL this spring And the award for the best former Denver Broncos player in the UFL goes to ... Pita Taumoepenu! Taumoepenu (6-2, 250 pounds) signed with the Broncos in 2021, and after failing to make the active roster out of training camp, he spent the season on the team's practice squad. He is a journeyman pass rusher who has spent time with six NFL teams and now plays for the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks. Taumoepenu, 31, had a dominant spring season, leading the league with 7.5 sacks. He also totaled 27 tackles (five behind the line), three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one pass breakup in nine games. Following that impressive season, Taumoepenu was named to the 2025 All-UFL Team. Another former Broncos pass rusher, Andre Mintze, ranked fourth in the UFL with 5.5 sacks in nine games. He signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt in 2021 and initially made the 53-man roster before landing on injured reserve. Mintze went to training camp with the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 and has been playing spring football since 2023 with the DC Defenders. Elsewhere in the UFL, running back Nate McCrary, who had a brief stint with the Broncos in 2021, rushed for 380 yards (fifth-most in the league) and two touchdowns this spring. Former Broncos quarterbacks Kevin Hogan and Case Cookus both started three games. Cookus totaled 546 passing yards and threw five touchdown passes. Hogan had 500 yards and two scores. Jarrett Guarantano only made one appearance with 29 yards and no scores. Ex-Denver punters Colby Wadman (1,335 yards) and Marquette King (1,709 yards) played the full 10-game season. King averaged 47.5 yards per punt with a long of 69 yards and eight kicks downed inside the 20-yard line. Wadman averaged 46.0 yards per boot with a long of 68 yards and 11 kicks downed inside the 20. The UFL will hold conference final games on Sunday featuring the Michigan Panthers against the Birmingham Stallions, and the DC Defenders taking on the St. Louis Battlehawks. The winners of those matchups will face off in the UFL's final on June 14. Following the championship game, NFL teams will be allowed to sign UFL players.

Taylor Swift Sneakily Attended a Wedding With Travis Kelce in a Strapless Blue Dress
This week, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were guests at a backyard wedding in Tennessee and though all eyes were on the bride and groom, some pictures of the famous couple showed them having a romantic evening of their own. The dress code appeared to be summer casual and Swift fit in perfectly in a strapless blue dress with a small flower pattern, structured bodice, and flowing skirt that ended at her ankles. On her feet, she wore tan high-heeled sandals. The Eras Tour star had her hair half up and wore a bracelet and small pieces of jewelry for accessories. Kelce was wearing dress pants and a short-sleeved button-down shirt in brown. In a TikTok shared by creator @laurenelizabethduhhh, Swift and Kelce can be seen seated side-by-side at a long table, watching the newly wedded couple enjoy their first dance. Swift starts swaying to the music and Kelce joins her in a cute shared moment. Since the end of the NFL season in February, Swift and Kelce have been enjoying some quality time together out of the spotlight. This week, they were seen in Florida together, where Swift wore a classic little black dress to their dinner date. Just before the images of their date night started circulating, a source told Us Weekly that the two were keeping a low profile on purpose right now. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise,' the insider explained. A second source shared that Swift has been living in both Miami, where Kelce has been training during his offseason, and New York: 'Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.' And it appears she's making some special time for Tennessee.
