Swifties lambast Bills fans after barbs exchanged pregame

Swifties didn’t hold back in mocking #Bills fans who they felt had disparaged Taylor Swift before Buffalo’s loss to the #Chiefs on Saturday night.

Fans around the NFL saw the Kansas City Chiefs handle their business in nail-biting fashion against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. The Chiefs’ 27-24 win in Buffalo punched Kansas City’s ticket to a sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance and left Buffalo’s fans speechless.

Some of the Chiefs’ newest devotees, the so-called “Swifties”, got their first taste of high-stakes playoff football during the hotly-contested tilt after exchanging barbs with the Bills Mafia in the buildup to the game.

Sparks flew at the matchup’s conclusion after Buffalo’s kicker, Tyler Bass, missed a field goal that could have evened the score with mere minutes remaining in regulation.

The Swifties were ruthless in their mockery of Bills fans who they felt had disparaged the good name of their favorite pop superstar, Taylor Swift, with their behavior and signs ahead of the game’s kickoff.

Check out some of the Swifties’ responses to Buffalo after the Chiefs’ hard-fought win on Sunday night:

LOOK: Tennessee fans try to roast Alabama with College GameDay signs

Do you think these Vols fans’ attempts at roasting Alabama were any good?

ESPN College GameDay broadcasted live from Knoxville, Tennessee for the big-time Week 7 matchup between the Crimson Tide and the Volunteers. An SEC matchup with a history of being a heated rivalry lost its spark in the last 15 years, as Alabama won every meeting.

Now, analysts and fans from across the country believe this might be the year Tennessee takes down the Tide.

College GameDay welcomed in fans, who brought their best signs, most of which were attempts at roasting the Crimson Tide. Some were jabs at Nick Saban, others took shots at former Tennessee linebacker Henry To’oTo’o who transferred to Alabama in 2021, and some were just flat-out digs on the fans.

College GameDay in Kansas opened with a chilling Rock Chalk chant and hilarious signs

Students are on fall break in Kansas but you’d never know by the scene on GameDay

Do not adjust your television set. There is nothing wrong with the picture on your screen.

That’s really ESPN’s College GameDay coming to you live from Lawrence, Kansas. Home of the undefeated No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks. And man does it look like a party on campus Saturday morning.

Despite classes on hold for fall break, it seems like every student stayed in town to show out for GameDay. And that began right away when the broadcast kicked off.

ESPN opened up the show with a crowd of thousands of fans on the the hill performing the Rock Chalk Chant and, wow, did this sound awesome.

Just look at the vibes in Lawrence right now.

Wisconsin legend Frank Kaminsky re-signs with the Phoenix Suns

After a trip to the NBA Finals and an impressive showing in the final game of the series, Wisconsin legend Frank Kaminsky has re-signed with the team on a one-year deal.

The contract is worth $2.1 million for the now-former free agent, locking in his seventh NBA season and third with the Suns.

Here’s Phoenix’s release on the Kaminsky signing:

Kaminsky has played 86 regular seasons games, including 26 starts, with the Suns over the past two seasons, averaging 8.0 points and 4.2 rebounds in 17.3 minutes. He shot a career-best 47.1% from the field in 2020-21, and against Golden State on Jan. 28, tied his career high with 13 rebounds and set his career high with eight assists, also scoring 12 points in a Suns win. Kaminsky appeared in 10 postseason games during the Suns’ 2021 postseason run, including four games in the NBA Finals.

Entering his seventh NBA season, Kaminsky has appeared in 368 career regular season games with Charlotte and the Suns, holding career averages of 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds. He has also appeared in 17 career playoff games. The native of Lisle, Illinois was originally the ninth overall pick by the Hornets in the 2015 NBA Draft. Prior to his NBA career, Kaminsky had a decorated collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin where he was the unanimous men’s national player of the year in 2015 and twice led the Badgers to the Final Four.

Kaminsky and Sam Dekker are now the only two former Badgers in the NBA, with several currently battling in the NBA Summer League to add to that number.
