NHL Rumors: Austin emerges as top contender for $2 billion expansion franchise amid growing competition
Austin, Texas, is emerging as a strong contender for a new NHL expansion team (Getty Images) The NHL may soon welcome a new team, and a surprising city is rising through the ranks—Austin, Texas. Long overshadowed by nearby Dallas and Houston in the world of pro sports, Austin is now making headlines as it officially joins the list of cities competing for an NHL expansion franchise. With the league setting the franchise fee at a staggering $2 billion, the race is quickly becoming one of the most expensive and competitive in hockey history. Why Austin is gaining serious traction in the NHL expansion race Austin's pitch has something the others lack: a relatively untapped pro sports market. Unlike Atlanta, Houston, Indianapolis, and New Orleans—cities already home to NFL, NBA, or MLB teams—Austin would be offering the NHL an exclusive stage. With no existing major league team to compete with, a new hockey franchise could dominate the city's growing and youthful population, which has long craved a team of its own. — frank_seravalli (@frank_seravalli) That could give Austin a critical edge. As Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli reported, the NHL has been fielding informal proposals despite not launching a formal expansion process. Commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed that, stating, 'We have no pending applications and we're not seeking to initiate a formal process at this point.' However, Bettman also outlined the league's strict standards for any future team, saying it must check four key boxes: 'a cohesive and well-heeled ownership group, an NHL-ready arena, a growing market and a way to make the league better than it was.' NHL expansion remains deliberate but inevitable While no new franchises are imminent, momentum is building. The last major wave of expansion happened in 2000, when the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild joined the NHL. Doug MacLean, the Blue Jackets' GM at the time, reflected on the era: 'It's pretty bizarre when you think about it… things had been picked pretty clean by two previous expansions in back-to-back years.' Since then, the league has remained stable, though notable shifts have occurred. The Arizona Coyotes folded and were replaced by the Utah Mammoth, and the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights brought new life to the league.

Why Taylor Swift's love life feels louder with Travis Kelce than it ever did with Joe Alwyn
Taylor Swift's romance with Travis Kelce is a stark contrast to her private relationship with Joe Alwyn (Getty Images) When it comes to Taylor Swift's public romances, few have captured the world's attention quite like her whirlwind relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. In stark contrast to her six-year, ultra-private relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, Swift's connection with Kelce has been anything but subtle—and fans are eating it up. From secret rendezvous to stadium PDA: two love stories, two playbooks During her time with Alwyn, Swift appeared committed to privacy. Rarely photographed together and never red carpet official, their relationship was largely shrouded in secrecy. Even in interviews, both avoided naming one another, choosing instead to exist in whispers, metaphors, and footnotes. — tswiftscoop (@tswiftscoop) But with Kelce, the playbook has changed—and it's gone full stadium mode. From her viral appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games to their affectionate public moments, Swift's relationship with Kelce feels like a celebration rather than a secret. Whether it's hand-holding post-game or their joint appearances at awards shows, the couple seems fully comfortable in the spotlight. Travis Kelce embraces the fame—unlike Joe Alwyn One major difference between the two romances lies in how the men handled Swift's unparalleled fame. Joe Alwyn often appeared overwhelmed by the media circus that follows Swift, and reportedly preferred a life far away from the flashbulbs. This contrast may have created friction over time, as Swift's global superstardom only intensified. Travis Kelce, on the other hand, isn't just along for the ride—he's loving the journey. As an NFL superstar used to media attention, Kelce appears to relish the fanfare. He's talked about Swift on podcasts, playfully acknowledged her songs, and even leaned into the pop culture frenzy that now surrounds them. Swift's romance with Kelce aligns perfectly with her current "Eras" era—loud, confident, and unapologetically public. She's never looked more empowered, and fans have noticed. While the quiet love with Alwyn inspired folklore and poetry, this new chapter with Kelce feels like an anthem—bright, booming, and impossible to ignore.

NBA Trade Rumors: Phoenix Suns' $251,019,650 superstar predicted to land in Atlanta Hawks to form deadly duo with Trae Young

The Atlanta Hawks are making waves in the offseason as potential suitors for Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal . With +400 odds to land the three-time All-Star, per Bovada, Atlanta is among the favorites to pull off a major trade before the 2025-26 NBA season tips off. Why the Atlanta Hawks Are Targeting Bradley Beal The Atlanta Hawks have aggressively retooled their roster around Trae Young and a promising young core. Adding a proven scorer like Beal could elevate them from playoff hopefuls to genuine contenders in the Eastern Conference. Beal, a 6'4' guard, brings veteran leadership and scoring punch. Despite recent injury struggles, his track record as a 20+ PPG scorer makes him an attractive option for Atlanta. Key Stats: Bradley Beal's Recent Performance Bradley Beal (Image via Getty) Season Games Played PPG RPG APG 3P% 2023–24 53 17.6 3.9 4.3 40.7 2022–23 53 18.2 3.8 4.5 39.1 While his production has dipped since his Washington days, Beal remains a high-upside player when healthy. Suns' Stance: Beal Likely on the Move Phoenix appears ready to part ways with Beal after trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. Suns insider John Gambadoro didn't mince words about Beal's future: "There's a zero percent chance that Bradley Beal is back on this Suns team next year." This opens the door for the Hawks, Bucks, Warriors, and Wizards to pursue a deal. Obstacles in a Potential Trade - Massive Contract: Beal is owed $251 million over five years, with two seasons remaining. - Injury Concerns: He hasn't played 60+ games since 2020-21. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 백오피스까지 맞춤 제작… 콜렉션비, 고도몰 커스터마이징으로 입점 브랜드 관리 고도화 NHN COMMERCE 더 알아보기 Undo - Declining Production: Only one 20+ PPG season since signing his max deal. Still, Atlanta might view him as a calculated risk. Pairing Beal with Trae Young could create one of the league's most dynamic backcourts. How Beal Fits with the Atlanta Hawks - Scoring Boost: Adds a reliable second option alongside Young. - Veteran Presence: Guides young players like Jalen Johnson and Kobe Bufkin. - Floor Spacing: Career 37.2% three-point shooter helps spread the floor. Also read: NBA Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers predicted to pair $61,980,000 Atlanta Hawks star with LeBron-Luka power duo and improve championship odds The Atlanta Hawks' front office has shown they're willing to make bold moves.
