Watch Chiefs TE Travis Kelce’s hilarious attempt to prank DL Charles Omenihu

#Chiefs TE Travis Kelce had some fun with DL Charles Omenihu during one of Kansas City’s practice sessions ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

The Kansas City Chiefs may be preparing for their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, but that doesn’t mean the defending champions aren’t still finding time to have fun and horse around.

During the team’s practice session on Thursday, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce decided to play a prank on defensive end Charles Omenihu by simulating a basketball dunk on the veteran lineman, a stunt he has pulled in the past.

Unfortunately, Kelce’s plan fell apart when Omenihu caught him in the act and retaliated, which caused the All-Pro pass-catcher to fall on his back in hilarious fashion.

Take a look at this video of the attempted prank, which was posted to Twitter by K.C. Star reporter Jesse Newell this week:

Despite their humorous antics during workouts, Kelce and Omenihu are two of the hardest workers on the team and are sure to be locked in at practice ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

Auburn basketball ranked No. 2 in latest AP Top 25 Poll

What a joke.

Fuel to the fire.

Auburn comes in at No. 2 in the latest AP Top 25 Poll after numerous outlets ranked Auburn as the best team in the country (ESPN’s bracketology done by Joe Lunadri, Andy Katz, Jon Rothstein, CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish, and others).

The Tigers received 36 first place votes. Gonzaga finished with 25, and yet the Zags still hold the top spot in the rankings, edging Auburn out 1486 points to 1482. Why, you ask?

There were two AP voters that put Auburn at No. 6 and No. 9: Jon Wilner and Jesse Newell. Might I note that while everyone is entitled to their opinion, Mr. Newell put three teams in front of Auburn that are currently ranked outside of the top 10. He ranked Kentucky at No. 7, Houston at No. 4, and *four loss Villanova* at No. 3. Those teams are ranked 12th, 10th, and 11th in the actual AP Poll. Here is Newell’s entire poll.

I respect that every voter can choose to vote however they wish, but Newell seems to be out of line with almost everyone who voted. His placement of Auburn at 9th cost the Tigers of their first ever No. 1 ranking.

May it also be noted that he has 11-6 Alabama at No. 18.

Here is the official AP Poll in its entirety.

1. Gonzaga, 14-2 (25)
2. Auburn, 16-1 (36)
