Look what you made me do

Are you ready for another weekend packed with exciting sports, celebrity sightings, and a dash of pop culture? You know we are. Here's your Weekend Preview to keep you in the loop and armed with conversation starters for your next office chat, date night or family gathering.

Taylor Swift Takes Over the NFL AGAIN (National Football League)

First, the incomparable Taylor Swift is making waves in the football world. We've all seen her putting Travis Kelce on the map, but her influence on the NFL is mind-blowing. Rumor has it that she'll be attending the Sunday night game between the Chiefs and the Jets, and the impact is already evident. Vivid Seats reports a staggering 173% spike in traffic regarding the game. It seems Taylor's star power knows no bounds.

Jets injured QB Aaron Rodgers took in a Taylor Swift concert over the summer, where an average concert ticket went for 1300. The average ticket to the Jets-Cheifs game on Sunday is $232. 

Colorado Buffalos vs. USC: The Celebrity Showdown

Speaking of unforgettable experiences, the Colorado Buffaloes are still riding the hype train despite a tough loss to Oregon. This Saturday morning, they face reigning Heisman trophy winner Caleb Williams and USC. But here's the real kicker – the list of celebrities attending is a who's who of Hollywood:

  • LeBron James

  • Jay Z

  • Matthew McConaughey

  • Lil Wayne

NFL Takes a Playdate with "Toy Story Funday Football"

Here's a twist that'll make your inner child squeal with delight. The Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars are jetting across the pond for the first international game of the season in London. For this one, you'll need to wake up early at 9:30 am Sunday. But wait, there's more! This game has a unique alternate viewing event, "Toy Story Funday Football," available on Disney+, ESPN+, and NFL+ (mobile only).

Imagine animated Falcon and Jaguar players running around on a traditional-looking field in Andy's room. It's a game like you've never seen before – perfect for family fun or a unique sports-watching experience.

Haley Van Voorhis: Breaking Barriers in College Football

Keep an eye out this weekend for a historic moment in college football. Haley Van Voorhis made history last week by becoming the first female non-kicker or punter to play in an NCAA College Football game. She's a junior at Shenandoah University, and we're rooting for her to rack up even more playing time this weekend.

MLB (Major League baseball) Regular Season Wraps Up

Last but not least, the MLB regular season ends this Sunday. Interestingly, the New York Mets, New York Yankees and San Diego Padres boasted the three top payrolls in baseball this season, collectively spending $880M on player salaries. Yet, all three will watch from home when the MLB playoffs kick off next week. Here’s who’s in and out.

Enjoy the Taylor Swift magic, the star-studded USC vs. Colorado showdown, "Toy Story Funday Football," and all the other exciting sports action this weekend. Stay active, adventurous and ready to conquer office and home life. Cheers to a fabulous weekend ahead!

Monday Minute: Taylor Swift, Usher + Dancing Dolphins

Icebreakers to start the day.

It's time for your Monday Minute, where we catch you up on all the weekend's action, drama, and surprises in the world of sports. Let's dive right in.

For today's Monday Minute podcast episode or our podcast exclusive Weekend Preview, subscribe to the podcast or our YouTube channel. 

1. Taylor Swift Takes Over the Chiefs' Game

The weekend started with a bang as the internet buzzed about Kim Kardashian's video announcing Usher as the Super Bowl halftime headliner. But that quickly took a back seat when Taylor Swift showed up at the Kansas City Chiefs game. Why? The rumor is that she's dating Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce. Taylor was not just a casual spectator; she was seen seated next to Travis's mom, Mama Kelce. Taylor couldn't contain her excitement, chest-bumping fellow fans in the suite after a Chiefs' touchdown and enthusiastically shouting, "Let's F-ing Go!" Looks like Taylor Swift is the Monday story we all needed.

Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes admitted he felt the pressure to throw to Kelce with Swift in the stadium.

2. Coach Prime's Bumpy Ride

Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, had been enjoying a fantastic start to the season with the Colorado Buffaloes, going 3-0. However, their fairy tale story hit a speed bump when they faced off against the Oregon Ducks and lost 42-6. Maybe it was karma after the Buffaloes decided to make themselves at home on the midfield logo at Autzen Stadium by stomping on it during their pregame walkthrough.

3. Dolphins Set the Record Straight

The Miami Dolphins made a statement on Sunday with a ruthless 70-20 victory against the Denver Broncos. Yes, you read that right—70 points! They came just three points shy of breaking the NFL's long-standing record for the most points scored in a single game, set by Washington in 1966.

5. Rapinoe's Farewell Victory

In soccer news, Megan Rapinoe bid farewell to her international career in style. She ended her journey with the United States fittingly with a 2-0 victory in a friendly against South Africa. Rapinoe's final match marked a significant moment, occurring 17 years and 63 days after her international debut on July 23, 2006. Another USWNT veteran, Julie Ertz, also played her last game a few days ago, closing a chapter on a remarkable career.

Have a great week ahead. If you want more of anything we discussed today, follow us on social media or lastnightsgame.com.
