Kylie Kelce couldn’t bear to watch the Super Bowl out of superstition stress and it’s wonderfully hilarious

Kylie Kelce is a true fan. Sometimes you just can’t watch.

Sunday evening, everyone inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas had all of their attention focused on the field as the Kansas City Chiefs squared off against the San Francisco 49ers in a tense battle for the Super Bowl.

Well, almost everyone.

Kylie Kelce, the sister-in-law of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, couldn’t bear the stress. Kelce is incredibly superstitious — no, seriously she’s so superstitious she will move seats and kick people out of the room if they’re bad luck — and at some point of the game, she decided she literally couldn’t watch anymore.

In an Instagram story posted Tuesday, Kelce said she had resorted to just watching the reactions of friend Sarah King in the suite.

King verified the hilarious situation, sharing a video of Kelce with back to the field and nervously fidgeting.

Kylie, you’re a real one.

Kyle Juszczyk strongly defended Kyle Shanahan by walking back his comments about the Super Bowl OT rules

Kyle Juszczyk’s defense of Kyle Shanahan is so silly.

The San Francisco 49ers are quickly learning one thing after their devastating loss in Super Bowl 58 — they should’ve just lied (as my pal Mike Sykes says).

On Tuesday, Kyle Shanahan clarified his foolish overtime strategy by maintaining that he wanted the ball third in the extra period. The head coach was rightfully blasted by the NFL world for such a silly thought process because … what? But it’s worth noting that this probably never becomes a controversy without fullback Kyle Juszczyk’s comments about how he didn’t know the Super Bowl overtime rules.

In defense of his coach, Juszczyk tried distancing himself from the idea that his not knowing the Super Bowl overtime rules meant anything. Eh, I’m not sure I agree:

OK. Huh. Let’s unpack this.

Juszczyk’s defense of Shanahan not properly teaching his players the overtime rules is tantamount to complaining that a restaurant guest didn’t appreciate eating a burnt dinner. It’s reacting to the deserved backlash as if it shouldn’t happen in the first place. It’s realizing he should probably just fall on the sword for his coach after opening Pandora’s Box following another crushing Super Bowl loss.

No one’s looking for reasons to [expletive] on Shanahan. He did that to himself.

Mecole Hardman deservedly left Las Vegas with the game ball after Super Bowl-winning TD catch

Mecole Hardman may never have to buy another drink in Kansas City, Missouri again.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ improbable Super Bowl 58 victory was genuinely mesmerizing, but it likely wouldn’t have happened without Mecole Hardman’s sure hands. Kansas City knows this and rightfully gave Mecole a gift he’ll never forget: the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning game ball.

When Mecole Hardman caught the game-sealing touchdown in Super Bowl 58, he could hardly believe it. In fact, he didn’t know it happened. It was a play call for the ages, and Hardman nailed his part, much to the delight of Patrick Mahomes.

Still, Hardman seemingly saw it coming. He predicted the Chiefs’ win months before it happened. On Tuesday, he was rewarded with a piece of Super Bowl history that brought his incredible prediction full circle.

3 absurdly wrong lessons other NFL teams shouldn’t take from the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win

Here are a few wrong lessons the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win might teach other NFL teams.

The NFL loves to profess that it’s a “copycat league.” No one quite likes to lean into human nature and try the literal same things as professional football coaches and executives. With the Kansas City Chiefs officially establishing themselves as a dynasty, the inclination to follow their example will be stronger than ever.

For good reason.

But there’s always the danger of gleaning the wrong conclusions from a team’s Super Bowl victory. This is where also-ran NFL teams get themselves into trouble — they almost seem to think replicating someone else’s success is seamless and painless. It never is, it never will be, and this thought process is precisely how many people in the league eventually lose jobs.

As the Chiefs begin an offseason ahead of a three-peat pursuit, let’s take a look at some of the wrong lessons their latest championship might teach NFL leaders. Put another way: If you want to win a Super Bowl in this era, you won’t follow the Chiefs’ footsteps to a tee.

Travis Kelce diabolically trolled the 49ers by singing ‘goodbye’ to them after Super Bowl 58 loss

WHEW, BOY. That man is a menace.

Nobody in sports is having a better week than the Kansas City Chiefs and Travis Kelce. Kelce’s been enjoying Kansas City’s Super Bowl 58 victory so much that he sang “goodbye” to the San Francisco 49ers during a postgame locker room celebration.

Travis Kelce has seemingly unlocked how to celebrate a Super Bowl in the most unhinged way possible. If you thought Kelce being absolutely hyped during the Super Bowl 58 trophy celebration was incredible, new postgame footage shows him living it up as only he can do.

Before his wild night with Taylor Swift and Jason, Travis led a diabolical version of Sha Na Na (complete with NSFW words) in the Chiefs’ locker room to wish the 49ers goodbye.

But Travis wasn’t done singing. Later that night, he went to a local Las Vegas nightclub and got the crowd involved, too.

7 best moments from Patrick Mahomes’ family trip to Disneyland after epic Super Bowl 58 win

There’s not a chance Patrick Mahomes slept before this trip.

It’s tradition for the winning team’s MVP to celebrate at Disney after the Super Bowl. On Monday, Patrick Mahomes and his family continued that tradition with a Super Bowl 58 victory parade at Disneyland.

Super Bowl 58 was full of many good moments, from the game-winning touchdown to the incredible memes. Things got even better afterward when Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Jason Kelce enjoyed the Las Vegas nightlife. However, Patrick Mahomes would not be left out of the celebration.

Mahomes and his family visited Disneyland on Monday for a Kansas City Chiefs celebration parade. Per Ashley Carter of Spectrum News 13, the parade started in the It’s a Small World section of the park and ran down Main Street.

There’s a massive chance that Mahomes didn’t sleep to make his stop at Disney happen, but he’ll have these memories for a lifetime.

Here are the seven best moments from his trip:

Mic’d-up video shows Patrick Mahomes wholesomely appreciating Andy Reid after Chiefs’ Super Bowl win

Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have so much love for each other.

Patrick Mahomes is slowly creeping into the conversation for the greatest quarterback of all time. As talented and committed to his craft as Mahomes is, he never gets here without legendary head coach Andy Reid. And he knows it.

After the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl 58 (and cemented themselves as a dynasty), a new mic’d-up video shows Mahomes finding Reid in the aftermath and telling him how much he loves him. In a victorious moment of unfiltered joy, Reid naturally reciprocated.

That’s why this duo is unquestionably the best quarterback-head coach pairing in the league — they’re exceptional at their jobs, and they care about each other so much.

Mahomes and Reid are on three Super Bowl wins and counting together. Knowing their close dynamic, don’t be surprised when they stack a few more onto that ledger.

The 15 best videos and tweets from Jason Kelce’s wild Las Vegas Super Bowl weekend with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Arguably, no one had more fun in Las Vegas than Jason Kelce.

The 2024 Super Bowl this year had it all. The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in an exciting over time game to establish themselves as a dynasty. The highest viewership of any programming since the moon landing in 1969. An incredible halftime performance by Usher. Pop icon Taylor Swift in attendance and sharing the moment with her boyfriend, KC tight end Travis Kelce, after the game.

But most of all, it had Jason Kelce living his best life.

The big brother of Travis, Jason donned red and gold overalls and a “Big Yeti” tee-shirt as he showed his support. He partied with Marshmello and wore a Luchador mask as he enjoyed his evening. He met singer Ice Spice. He had heart-to-hearts with Swift in a Las Vegas club. It was perfection.

Check out the best videos and posts from his night:

NFL fans roast Kyle Shanahan for declaring ‘we wanted the ball third’ for Super Bowl overtime

This Kyle Shanahan quote is getting rightfully roasted.

Oh no. Oh nooooo. Kyle Shanahan, what are you doing?

The San Francisco 49ers head coach has addressed why he wanted his team to start overtime in the Super Bowl with the ball — his idea was, if they scored and the Kansas City Chiefs matched, the Niners would get the football in a sudden-death situation.

Now, that’s all fine and good in theory (if your team knows the new-ish playoff overtime rules, and some of his players admitted they didn’t). But the team that possess the ball second has some advantage — they know if they need a field goal to tie it back up or a touchdown to win. It’s four-down territory all the way, too, which means play calls can be more diverse.

It’s one quote in particular that has Shanahan being roasted after the Super Bowl: “We wanted the ball third.”

Here’s a sampling:
