Travis Kelce's romance with Taylor Swift and off-field engagements affected his 2024 season? Eric Mangini comments
During his candid appearance on The Breakfast Ball show, Eric Mangini cited multiple factors that led the NFL star to fall short of expectations. He said that Travis's off-field commitments and related engagements resulted in his poor performance. Not only this, but Mangini also mentioned 'budding romance' but did not take Taylor Swift's name, thereby referring to the ongoing development in a subtle way.
'When you look at his offseason last year, it was filled with everything but football. So, he's got the budding romance, he's on tour, he's traveling overseas, all that stuff, which is, which is great. Then he's got the TV show. So, he films the TV show. Good with that, too. Then he's got the podcast,' remarked the ex-Browns head coach.
He went on to add that Kelce got so many things on his plate, making it challenging for him to balance football and his other commitments. 'I'm not angry at him taking advantage of the opportunities, but I do think that put him a little bit behind the eight-ball going into the season,' said Eric.

"Your Career Is Over": When Virender Sehwag Threatened Drunk Shoaib Akhtar Over Sachin Tendulkar Incident
In March 2023, former India opener Virender Sehwag shared a hilarious anecdote involving Sachin Tendulkar and ex-Pakistan pace star Shoaib Akhtar. Both India and Pakistan are currently at loggerheads due to the political tensions between the two nations. This situation aggravated after the terrorist attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir in April 2025. Following this, a war-like situation took place between the two countries, which made the relations even worse. However, there was a high time when both India and Pakistan used to face each other in bilateral series and gave brilliant cricketing moments to the fans. Sehwag opened up about a moment when a drunk Shoaib Akhtar was trying to lift the Master Blaster on his shoulder and miserably failed in his attempt. "In a party that was held for Indian and Pakistani cricketers in Lucknow, Akhtar had one too many drinks and he tried to lift Tendulkar. However, Tendulkar was quite heavy for him, and both of them ended up falling on the ground. I could not stop laughing at the incident," Sehwag had said at News 18 Chaupal. The incident left Akhtar extremely embarrassed and Sehwag kept teasing him that his career is over as he could have injured a legend like Sachin. The Pakistan cricket team pacer was scared that Sachin will complain to the BCCI and he decided to ask for forgiveness from the Master Blaster. "I used to tease him a lot. You are out, your career is over. You have dropped our top player. And he was scared, he kept following Sachin everywhere saying sorry and even fell down at his feet. Still, me and Sachin, whenever we sit together, we go back to the incident and laugh about it," Sehwag said. Earlier, Akhtar also shared his side of the story during an interaction with SportsKeeda and stated that he was left embarrassed after the incident. "I managed to lift him but then he slipped from my hands. Tendulkar fell down, not that badly, but I thought to myself that 'I am dead'. I feared that if Sachin Tendulkar gets unfit or injured, I would never get an Indian Visa. The Indians would never allow me to come back to the country or would burn me alive." "When he fell down I really thought I am done for life. I remember Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh were also there and they were telling me, 'what are you doing man?' And I responded saying 'I don't really know, it just happened.'
