Chiefs lineman joins rock band Creed onstage during show in Kansas City

#Chiefs center Creed Humphrey joined the rock band Creed onstage during a show in Kansas City this week.

Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey has become one of the defending Super Bowl champions’ most beloved personalities since joining the team as a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft.

Known for his sense of humor, Humphrey has gained attention from fans for his unique pregame shirts which have taken social media by storm early in the 2024 regular season.

Humphrey has become a larger-than-life character with the Chiefs, and on Wednesday night, the All-Pro lineman was spotted at a Creed concert in Kansas City.

Take a look at this video of Humphrey joining Creed onstage, which was posted to Twitter by Kansas City Star columnist Sam McDowell:

 

In-season diversions like this don’t happen often for Chiefs players who are laser-focused on bringing Kansas City its third consecutive Super Bowl title.

Though the Chiefs have Weathered injuries throughout their 2024 campaign, Humphrey has been available for all of Kansas City’s first nine games and cemented his role as one of the best football players In America.

Since joining the Chiefs, Humphrey has been welcomed by Kansas City’s fans With Arms Wide Open and has been molded like Human Clay to become one of Andy Reid’s most impactful offensive linemen.

With any luck, Humphrey may be able to help push the Chiefs’ win total Higher in Week 10 when Kansas City faces the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

A mariachi band covered Creed’s Higher at a Rangers game and it’s so beautiful

This is a beautiful cover right here.

Creed gets a lot of flak for being, well, Creed, but the thing is: the band means a lot to the Texas Rangers, as we saw in their run to a World Series last season.

So here’s a moment from Monday’s New York Mets game at the Rangers’ Globe Life Field in which a mariachi band covered their hit Higher, and while we got only a snippet, I am pleading with the internet to give us the full version.

It’s seriously beautiful, the vibes are immaculate, the instrumentation very sweet. See if you agree with me in the video below:

Jockey Florent Geroux is wearing customized Creed pants during the 2024 Kentucky Derby

We didn’t have this on our 2024 Kentucky Derby bingo card.

During Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, jockey Florent Geroux and racing horse Just A Touch will hope to go … higher … in the Run for the Roses.

On his custom race pants, Geroux will be wearing the logo for the band Creed in honor of its 2024 reunion tour.

Geroux must be a big fan of the “Higher” and “My Sacrifice” rock group to spot them on his jockey pants for the 150th Kentucky Derby, so he’s got to win “Creed fan of the year” for repping the band in such a visible way.

We didn’t have Creed on our 2024 Kentucky Derby bingo card this year, but we’ll definitely take it.

Which Creed song best represents your Big Ten football program?

Which Creed song best represents your Big Ten football team? #B1G

One of the greatest rock bands of the 90s and early 2000s has just announced their return, and before everyone gets their tickets for Creed, I thought we would do something fun here.

The Texas Rangers have just won the World Series and it has been well publicized that the main motivation for their historic run was due to the sweet and smooth vocals of Scott Stapp, and more specifically, the official anthem of 1999, Creed’s hit song, “Higher.”

The Rangers aren’t the only team to take advantage of the spiritual cheat code that is Creed. The Minnesota Vikings also utilized a gem from the “Human Clay” album in, “With Arms Wide Open,” as quarterback Kirk Cousins mentioned this song as the main reason for their victory over the Chicago Bears.

I want to find the best Creed song for every Big Ten team and with such a large, diverse, and just straight up historic catalog, it should be easy. Let’s have a little fun, shall we?

The Rangers delightfully sang along to Creed anthem “Higher” to celebrate World Series victory

The Rangers singing “Higher” by Creed after winning the World Series is everything.

After the Texas Rangers adopted the Creed song “Higher” as their season anthem, the team fulfilled the lyrics in that famous rock ballad after winning the World Series on Wednesday night.

After the team took down the Arizona Diamondbacks to win the franchise’s first-ever World Series title, the Rangers decided to belt out “Higher” with each other in the locker room as they doused each other in beer to celebrate.

It was as spirited a post-World Series victory sing-a-long as you could imagine for the Rangers, completing the Creed-fueled playoff run of a lifetime. They, indeed, took their team higher.

We’re curious if any other teams will embrace Creed next MLB postseason, or if another nostalgic rock band will take the spotlight.

For now, we’ll blast “Higher” while we’re riding in the car this week in honor of the Rangers and the song that helped inspire a World Series victory.

The Texas Rangers’ obsession with Creed’s music, explained

The Texas Rangers are giving some credit to Creed for their success.

Welcome to FTW Explains, a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. Have you heard about how the Texas Rangers use the music of the band Creed a lot and how it’s actually helped them? And you’re confused? We’re here to help.

Yep, that’s right. We’re talking about Creed here, the band that has some serious hits but is sometimes a punchline.

And now, the Texas Rangers are headed to the World Series and are giving some credit to Creed for their success.

If you’re wondering why, we have answers! Let’s dive in to this whole thing:

Kirk Cousins delightfully confirmed he’s a Creed fan as Vikings embraced band’s song “Higher” after 49ers win

Creed fever is spreading with Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings.

The Minnesota Vikings are the second major sports team this fall to embrace the music of Creed to help fuel success.

As the Vikings have won three of their last four games, things are looking much brighter for Minnesota fans as the idea of them being a seller at the trade deadline looks even less likely after an 0-3 start.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins seems to have embraced the moment, particularly how the team was blaring the Creed song “Higher” in the locker room after its Monday Night Football win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Of course, Cousins wasn’t just going to talk about the team’s Creed celebration without throwing some love on the rest of the band’s catalog.

Hey, good for Cousins for mentioning the other good Creed songs. While “Higher” is the main one, the band also has bangers like “My Sacrifice,” “One Last Breath” and “With Arms Wide Open,” too.

As the Texas Rangers have used Creed to fuel their World Series run, now it’s the Vikings that are using the rock band to keep the good vibes going.

Rangers fans embraced team’s Creed MLB Playoffs soundtrack by singing along to “Higher”

The Rangers are taking fans higher with an MLB Playoffs Creed sing-a-long.

The Texas Rangers have embraced Creed during this MLB Playoffs, and the fans are getting in on the grungy fun.

After the Rangers used Creed music to loosen up ahead of the ALDS series with the Baltimore Orioles, the team invited fans to sing along to the 1990s/2000s rock band’s hit “Higher” as the Rangers returned home to Globe Life Field for Game 3 of the series.

The Creed vibes have clearly worked, as the Rangers led the Orioles by the sixth inning on the way to a possible 3-0 series lead.

Rangers fans are clearly in on Creed, as this is a great reminder of how electric playoff baseball environments can be when your team is playing well. [anyclip-media thumbnail=”undefined” playlistId=”undefined” content=”dW5kZWZpbmVk”][/anyclip-media]

 

 

Creed has fully embraced the moment as the Rangers use their music to fuel playoff success.

If you’re the Orioles, well, it’s your sacrifice to endure this during what has been a disastrous playoffs so far.

If Creed really can take the Rangers higher to a World Series victory, we’re betting the band will get played at Texas games for years to come.

Creed III sets record for biggest-ever box office opening for a sports movie

Creed III set a box office record for sports movies this weekend.

Creed III punched its way into record books this weekend at the box office.

With an estimated $58.6 million box office tally, the Michael B. Jordan-directed sequel notched the biggest-ever opening weekend for a sports movie in film history.

It’s a massive win for the box office and for Creed III, which earned stellar reviews and also gave the Rocky/Creed franchise its best-ever weekend at the multiplex.

Even without longtime franchise star Sylvester Stallone appearing in this latest installment, Creed III is setting itself up to be one of the real financial successes of 2023 so far. It’s clearly going the distance in theaters right now.

What’s also fascinating is that Creed III co-star Jonathan Majors is making bank with his Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania leading the box office the past two weeks ahead of the latest Creed film.

Majors is having quite a moment.

For those who haven’t hopped into the ring with Creed III yet, our Caroline Darney says the film is “a worthy entry into the series.”

Creed III is playing nationwide in theaters now.

The Eagles practiced to Creed and now NFL fans all want to bet on them beating the Niners

Can this take the Eagles higher?

I will be the first to admit it: When I saw the tweets about the Philadelphia Eagles practicing to “Creed,” I assumed it was the movie soundtrack to the Michael B. Jordan film. 

Makes sense, right? Because Creed is a spinoff of Rocky and all of that is a Philadelphia story. And the Eagles would want to tap into that.

But no. On Friday, as reporters in attendance noted, they’re practicing to Creed THE BAND! As in Higher!

Why? I haven’t seen any reasons thrown out there, but maybe there’s symbolism in wondering if the team can take itself higher.

Fans suddenly wanted to bet on the team beating the San Francisco 49ers upon seeing this one:
