WATCH: Chiefs players enjoying Luke Combs concert at Arrowhead Stadium

From Patrick Mahomes shotgunning a beer on stage to Willie Gay Jr. singing along to “Better Together” — Luke Combs’ trip to Arrowhead Stadium was a hit with the #Chiefs.

When the NFL season isn’t in session, Arrowhead Stadium is home to some of the biggest concerts and events in Kansas City.

Country artist Luke Combs was the latest to play a big show at Arrowhead over this past weekend and several members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization came out to enjoy his show. That group includes Patrick Mahomes, Creed Humphrey, Willie Gay Jr. and others.

Mahomes had a particularly exciting experience, meeting up with one of the opening acts who were from Lubbock, Texas, where he attended Texas Tech.

As the night when on, things got even better for Mahomes. He was invited on stage by Combs to shotgun a beer in front of the packed crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

As for Willie Gay Jr., he had impeccable vibes per usual. He was spotted in a box at Arrowhead, jamming out and singing along to one of Combs’ hit songs, “Better Together.”

Needless to say, Combs was a hit in Kansas City and with the Chiefs players. He’s a surefire bet to be back the next time he goes on tour.

Dan Lanning once again throws shade at ESPN ‘College GameDay’ crew after win over Utah

Dan Lanning is a man who keeps his receipts.

It was only a couple of months ago that Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning professed his admiration for country music star Luke Combs, who was the only member of the ESPN ‘College GameDay’ crew that correctly picked Oregon to beat BYU early in the season. The shows analysts sided with the Cougars.

Lanning made it known on social media after Oregon’s dominant win that he was aware of the lack of confidence the crew had in his team, and credited Combs for staying true.

Lanning threw similar shade on Sunday morning after the Ducks’ impressive upset win over No. 10 Utah, 20-17, on Saturday night.

As you might have guessed, the GameDay crew picked unanimously in favor of the Utes.

With the uncertainty surrounding quarterback Bo Nix’s availability heading into this game, it’s not a shock that everyone picked against the Ducks, but Oregon was able to show a lot of heart and grit in their win on Saturday night.

Let them know they were wrong, Dan. You earned it.

Luke Combs had the most savage message for Texas A&M: ‘I appreciate the million and a half dollar donation to my alma mater’

Texas A&M fans are never going to live this down.

This has been quite a rough week for Texas A&M football. Obviously, it all starts with the loss to Appalachian State that came last weekend.

A&M paid Appalachian State $1.5 million to play against them and they lost. That’s straight-up embarrassing.

But the worst part is that Appalachian State fans refuse to ever let them live it down with their wild posters. Three students even won free tuition off basically embarrassing A&M with their signs on ESPN’s College GameDay, which they also stole from the Aggies.

If all that wasn’t enough, for good measure, ESPN’s College GameDay brought on Country music singer Luke Combs to be their special guest picker and he had a message for Texas A&M that will probably leave fans seething.

The crew was picking the Texas A&M vs. Miami game and Combs said he was definitely riding with A&M. Why? Take a listen.

“Jimbo [Fischer], Texas A&M … I appreciate the million and a half dollar donation to my alma mater. I’m riding with Texas A&M at home. Let’s go, baby.” 

Bruuuuuuuh. That absolutely has to hurt. A&M fans have to be salty. They just have to be.

I’m sure, at this point, A&M fans want to get over the game. But at the rate we’re going? This feels like it’ll be a thing all season long. Get ready, Aggie fans. The jokes are coming.

Texans DE J.J. Watt to host Saturday Night Live on Feb. 1

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will be hosting NBC’s Saturday Night Live on Feb. 1.

A Houston Texans player will be on broadcast TV in February after all, even though the team was bounced out of the playoffs.

According to a tweet from the official Saturday Night Live account, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will be the host of the Feb. 1 edition of the show on NBC. The musical guest that evening will be Luke Combs.

Watt is no stranger to the spotlight. In 2014, he appeared in “The League,” an FX show about fantasy football. In 2015, he also appeared in an episode of the FOX show “New Girl.”

The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year also played the part of a youth sports coach in the 2016 feature film “Bad Moms.” Watt is also good friends with former California governor and action star Arnold Schwartzenegger.
