Kelce Gets Major Win with Horse Named (Not Taylor) ‘Swift'
Travis Kelce has one more year of professional football on the agenda before retirement opens up more doors for him. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end will go down as one of the best to ever play his position, bound for a potential first-ballot entrance into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Through his podcast and his relationship with pop music megastar Taylor Swift, Kelce keeps himself prominent in the public eye, even without being on the field. But, he has other ventures drawing the interest of his fans as well.
Kelce got himself into horse racing nearly a year ago, buying into a racehorse named Swift Delivery back in August. The name came with the animal and ironically had no connection to his significant other.
Over the weekend, Swift Delivery came through for Kelce, winning its race at the Woodbine Racetrack in Ontario per the Paulick Report. It marked the first win for Kelce as a partial owner and the horse's third career victory.
This all stemmed from Kelce's experience at the Kentucky Derby last year, about which he gushed during an episode of "New Heights" with his brother Jason.

"I had one of the best times ever at the Derby," he said. "I was like, 'Man, it would be so fun to get involved and see one of your horses in a race. It seems like it would be a fun thing to be a part of."
That wish has since turned into action, and Kelce reaped the benefits of seeing Swift Delivery cross the finish line this past weekend. Once his career comes to a close early next year, perhaps he will find himself more enveloped in the horse racing scene.

Caitlin Clark plans to return from groin injury Wednesday vs. Valkyries
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark plans to return for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Valkyries, after being sidelined with a left groin injury in late June. Clark has missed 10 games so far this season, first with a left quad strain and then the groin issue. 'It's obviously hard sitting out and watching for a few weeks, so I'm definitely excited to get back out there,' Clark told reporters on Tuesday. Advertisement Clark returned on June 14 after missing three weeks with the quad strain, scoring 32 points with nine assists and eight rebounds against the New York Liberty, before going in to a 3-point shooting slump. Less than two weeks later, she went down with the groin injury. When returning from the quad strain, Clark resisted a minutes restriction and said she only wanted to play when fully healthy. On Tuesday, Clark said she hopes to play 'a decent amount, maybe upper twenties.' 'I guess it just depends how I feel and how the game goes, and what the team needs as well, but I feel pretty good, but probably going to try not to overdo it as well and put myself in a good position moving forward,' Clark said. Clark is averaging 18.2 points, five rebounds and 8.9 assists in her nine games this season. In her absence, Indiana signed Aari McDonald and waived DeWanna Bonner.

Scarlett Johansson Becomes Highest-Grossing Actor in Hollywood History With $14.85 Billion at the Global Box Office — GeekTyrant
Scarlett Johansson just made box office history… again. Thanks to the roaring success of Jurassic World: Rebirth , Johansson has officially become the highest-grossing Hollywood actor of all time, overtaking a handful of her Marvel co-stars to claim the top spot. According to updated figures from The Numbers, Johansson's films have now grossed a staggering $14.85 billion worldwide. That figure includes her latest dino-sized blockbuster, Jurassic World: Rebirth , which opened to over $300 million globally, as well as past heavy-hitters like Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War , both of which easily cleared the $1 billion mark. It's not just the MCU and Jurassic franchises doing the heavy lifting. Johansson's resume also includes massive hits like The Jungle Book (2016), which pulled in nearly $1 billion on its own, and the sci-fi thriller Lucy (2014), which surprised everyone with a $460+ million haul on a modest budget. That's not even counting her voice work in Her or her role in Lost in Translation . She's been building toward this milestone since her first film appearance in North back in 1994. Meanwhile, her box office competition include Samuel L. Jackson, who currently sits in second place with $14.6 billion, followed by Robert Downey Jr. at $14.3 billion and Zoe Saldaña at $14.2 billion. Chris Pratt, another Jurassic and Marvel alum, rounds out the top five at $14.1 billion. Both Downey Jr. and Saldaña will have major boosts in the next couple of years. Downey is making a high-profile return to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday , but this time as the iconic villain Doctor Doom. And Saldaña will return to Pandora in Avatar: Fire and Ash , the third entry in James Cameron's mega-franchise, hitting theaters December 19, 2025. With Johansson now at the top, her reign may be brief, but for now, it's a milestone for her.
