Taylor Swift arrives at Arrowhead with Santa Claus for Raiders-Chiefs

It’s Taylor Swift and Santa Claus at Arrowhead

Forget Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift as a power couple. The pop singer arrived at Arrowhead for Monday’s Las Vegas Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs game with the man of the day: Santa Claus.

The singer’s parents were also with her.

4 things Santa Claus should bring the Minnesota Vikings

In the spirit of the holidays, our staff identified one thing they wanted Santa Claus to bring the Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Detroit Lions in the second annual winter whiteout on Christmas Eve in week 16.

During the Vikings 7-7 campaign, they have dealt with a myriad of injuries and struggles throughout the year. From losing star wide receiver Justin Jefferson to starting four quarterbacks due to injuries and poor play, it’s been an excellent coaching job from both Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores.

They still face an uphill battle if they want to win the NFC North. Just one Vikings loss or Lions win will give Detroit their first division title since 1993 when it was the NFC North.

In the spirit of Christmas, our staff identified one thing that they would like Santa Claus to bring the Vikings.

Watch: Santa Claus butchers national anthem before Notre Dame game

Cover your ears before hearing this.

During Notre Dame’s 73-72 loss to Florida State, two things were made clear. One is that the Irish need to change things quickly if they’re going to be competitive in the ACC this year. The other is that Santa Claus should stick to delivering toys and forget about a future in singing.

St. Nick himself took to the microphone before this game to sing the national anthem. While whoever was behind this surely had good intentions, they probably were forced to wonder what drove them to make this decision after hearing this rendition that will be remembered by everyone present for the wrong reasons:

While it’s not quite as bad as some of the worst national anthem performances in sports history, it at least deserves an honorable mention. Did Santa even go through an audition process, or was he picked out just because he’s Santa? Either way, Florida State better improve its screening of anthem singers going forward, or we’re going to get a lot more of this.
