This isn’t normally where you come for celebrity news and my only true brush with fame was the time I snuck covertly into the Sirius XM tent at Super Bowl LII to snap a photo with my hero, Guy Fieri. But there is something relevant from a football perspective that deserves mentioning upon the news that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged.
It’s fine—healthy even!—if you don’t care but the reality of the situation is that one of the most famous people in the world has willingly agreed to marry the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs. Not the head coach. Not the quarterback. Not the owner. Not the CEO of the private equity firm that is about to buy 10% and require that all Chiefs players bring their own tupperware to work. The guy whose position is probably more of an international punchline (what’s a tight end, you say?) than it is a globally understood part of football vernacular.
