Las Vegas Aces rookie guard Kate Martin shocked the sporting world when she suddenly went public with the love of her life.

The former Iowa Hawkeyes standout hinted that she’s in a romantic relationship by posting a picture of herself standing alongside a woman on Instagram with the handle @claire.gransee.

Iowa Hawkeyes fans already adored Martin, but she became even more known and loved since the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

Despite a stacked Las Vegas Aces, Martin has carved out a role for herself on the two-time defending WNBA champions.

This week, Martin’s girlfriend Claire is going viral because of her brain.

Claire had a 3.94 GPA while at Iowa.

Via her LinkedIn:

“May 2024 Graduate with Distinction from The University of Iowa, majoring in Communication Studies alongside minors in both Law and Media Literacy. With plans to relocate to the Greater Boston Area upon my graduation, I am excited to bring with me the skills I have acquired not only from my coursework but also from my professional experience at The University of Iowa and The National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland.In my free time, I have found my role as a Director in The GH Foundation, an organization I am grateful to help found on our campus, extremely rewarding. I look forward to bringing my passions of health, community service, and education to the workplace and new organizations in Boston.”

Kate Martin and Claire are former classmates.

Martin’s life was changed when the Aces shockingly selected her as the 18th overall pick in the WNBA Draft. She played well enough to earn a spot on the team.

Now, the former Iowa Hawkeye has a serious chance to play alongside her best friend, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, at the 2024 All-Star Game.

She was announced as 12th in the recent rankings.

Kate Martin Left Viral Comment On TikTok About Her Girlfriend

Kate Martin doubled down on her new relationship when she posted a viral comment on a TikTok video about her relationship.

TikTok user @abbeytok posted a video earlier this week with the caption, “i can’t even be upset if that’s Kate Martin’s girlfriend because she is LITERALLY GORGEOUS STUNNING BEAUTIFUL PERFECT”.

Martin saw the video and responded by saying, “She is gorgeous, stunning & perfect, I can’t lie.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.

The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.

Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.

“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”

Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.

“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”

It was a look that had fans going nuts since they are not used to seeing Plum with so little clothes on.

“i would pay kelsey plum to punch me in face,” one overly excited fan stated.

Another fan called out her former husband: “Yea Darren Waller needs to be arrested for fumbling her (and for doing crack).”

“Darren Waller is an all time bag fumbler, another X user said.”

Las Vegas Aces Star Kelsey Plum Backs Out of Unrivaled League

The Unrivaled women’s basketball league is set to begin next mmonth and they have already lost one of its marquee players before the first season starts.

Kelsey Plum revealed in an Instagram story that she will not be playing in the 3-on-3 league after all, despite initially saying she would participate.

“I’ve decided to not take part in the inaugural season of Unrivaled in order to take some more time for myself this offseason,” Plum posted. “I appreciate the league understanding and being so accommodating. I wish the league and all of the players nothing but the best, and I’m excited to watch!”

Plum has been quite busy the past few years. She won back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023 and then appeared in 44 WNBA games, counting the playoffs, in 2024.

She did not have the Olympics break like other players, as she helped the United States win the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

No one will blame Kelsey Plum for wanting to give her body time to recover.

The league debuts on Jan. 17 and will have six teams.

Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

Kevin Durant (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)
A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.

There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.

If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.

Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:

“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…

Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “

Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game

After more than a decade of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI is supposedly finally set to come out in 2025.

Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.

With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.

Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.

Angel Reese and DiJonai Carrington have social media going crazy over their latest video together.

The Chicago Sky and Dallas Wings stars hooked up to pose in a video that surfaced on social media.

In the footage, Reese and Carrington are seen in what appears to be a backstage room, in fresh make-up, and wearing nothing but black robes.

As they prance around while seated, the video is set to GloRilla and Sexyy Red’s hit collaboration, “Whatchu Kno About Me,” as the two lip sync to the ad-libs.

Angel Reese responded to the video making its way to X as she posted: “Mac & Yams touching??!! 😭😍” which is a reference to the food going great together.

 

DiJonai Carrington is coming off a season where she averaged 12.7 points, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game in her first season as a full-time starter.

Fresh off a career-best season, Carrington would find herself being traded from the Connecticut Sun to the Dallas Wings this offseason. The team sent her and the No. 12 pick (from Phoenix) in the 2025 WNBA Draft to the Dallas Wings in exchange for Jacy Sheldon and the No. 8 pick, per Winsidr’s Rachel Galligan.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had a rookie year to remember, averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game before a wrist injury ended her rookie campaign.

LeBron James understands firsthand the challenges that come with being a top-tier athlete facing racism and scrutiny. His own journey from a challenging background to becoming the No. 1 overall NBA draft pick has given him a unique perspective on recent incidents involving Caitlin Clark.

In a May episode of his podcast, James shared his thoughts on Clark’s experiences and the impact she is having on her sport.

“The one thing that I love that she’s bringing to her sport, more people want to watch. More people want to tune in. Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it (expletive) up: Caitlin Clark is the reason why a lot of great things are going to happen for the WNBA,” LeBron said.

LeBron also drew parallels between his own experiences and those of Clark, particularly in terms of the scrutiny and animosity he endured due to his son, Bronny James. Bronny himself addressed those criticisms recently.

“I’m rooting for Caitlin because I’ve been in that seat before. I’m getting the same thing from my son.. getting a lot of animosity and hatred towards him,” he added.

Throughout his 21 seasons in the NBA, LeBron has endured a significant amount of criticism and hostility, yet he has emerged stronger and more determined. This experience of overcoming adversity is something he sees in Clark’s journey.

LeBron’s advice proved true for Clark as WNBA star recently faced one of the hardest times of her basketball career. Even the Indiana Fever’s general manager and coach could not resist voicing their frustration over the treatment Clark has been getting since he entered the league.

Zach Randolph Reveals the Knicks’ Failed LeBron James Gamble

In a recent episode of Podcast P, Memphis Grizzlies star, Zach Randolph shared an unforgettable story from his time with the New York Knicks.

Despite having a talented roster, the Knicks team had traded away nearly all its players, including Randolph, in a bid to create cap space for the anticipated arrival of LeBron James in free agency. Unfortunately for the Knicks, this ambitious plan did not pan out as expected.

“We had a lot of talent on that team. And like you said, that year, I think I got there the second half of the season and the next season I got traded at the beginning. But that year we came back and got traded and we were balling… That’s when the LeBron [James] free agency thing… they thought LeBron was coming to New York, and LeBron was never coming to New York, and they done traded their whole team… So they got rid of me… they got rid of the whole team for nothing,” he said.

Interestingly, the rumor mill is abuzz once again with speculation that LeBron James might leave the Los Angeles Lakers soon.

Will the Knicks try to entertain the NBA fans with LeBron again? What’s your opinion? Share in the comment box.

The NFL salary cap is set to increase even more than initially projected, a development that will make every owner, coach, player and fan happy.

The NFL salary cap for last season was $255.4 million, and the league continues to enjoy record revenue totals through television ratings, merchandise, and ticket sales. Well, it’s about to grow a lot higher in 2025.

According to a report from ESPN’s Dan Graziano, NFL teams were informed that the salary cap for 2025 will be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million. The league sent out a memo detailing that it’s not official yet and that it could change following discussions with the NFLPA.

Obviously, it’s hard to envision the players rejecting the league’s plan to increase the salary cap. The higher the salary cap, the more money teams will pay their players. And with the cap projected to increase by over $20 million, owners will have more money to spend than ever before.

Just take this short-and-sweet response from Dallas Cowboys superstar linebacker Micah Parsons about news of the planned increase for the NFL salary cap in 2025:

 

NFL Salary Cap Continues To Increase Drastically

It’s astonishing just how much the NFL salary cap has grown in the past decade alone. Per Spotrac.com, the salary cap for the 2015 season was $143.28 million. And trust us, that was a really high number at the time.

And if you want to go back to 2011, after the lockout ended with a new CBA agreement, the salary cap was $120.375 million. In 2022, two years after the COVID-impacted season, the salary cap was $208.2 million.

The salary cap increase is good news for all 32 teams. This year, it especially helps cap-strapped teams such as the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.

The NFL has disclosed an upcoming change that all 32 of its teams will love, and it is believed that Taylor Swift is partly responsible.

While the official figure hasn’t been announced, the league has informed organizations of a projected salary cap range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million for 2025, per NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.

The figure is said to be more than what teams were expecting, as they were budgeting for a salary cap of $265 million to $275 million. And although the numbers haven’t been confirmed, teams will have a lot more financial leeway than they anticipated.

At the very least, they will see an increase of $22.1 million from the $225.4 million salary cap they had in 2024. At best, it will be a $26.1 million increase.

The new range means the cap will have increased by at least $100 million since 2018 – it was $177 million then – and more than $53 million in the last two years.

How Taylor Swift Helped The NFL Increase The Salary Cap

Of course, Taylor Swift has no say on NFL matters, as far as we know. However, the league has raked in considerable profit simply due to her involvement with Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to a report from MarketWatch, data from Apex Marketing, a company focused on advertising and branding services, shows that Taylor has earned the NFL over $1 billion in “total equivalent brand value” since 2023.

Swift’s influence has seen the NFL bring in a total of $1,001,057,453, per the report. Her relationship with Kelce is clearly very profitable for the league, which is now expected to increase its salary cap considerably.

Teams just might be looking to recruit novel celebrity WAGS in the wake of this recent announcement.

Seven men from Chile have been charged with the burglaries of several pro athletes’ homes, including those of NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Months after those players, as well as Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow and others, were victims of burglaries at their respective homes, federal prosecutors charged seven men in connection to the break-ins.

The federal indictment alleges they’re part of a spree of burglaries of star athletes’ homes by criminals from South America. The group is accused of stealing nearly $1.5 million in jewelry, cash, and designer bags. Four of the men posed for a selfie with watches, jewelry, and a safe that was mangled.

Milwaukee Bucks star Bobby Portis was also among the victims.

“It’s kind of gratifying that these guys have been caught,” Portis said per Fox News. “Obviously, you work so hard for your things.”

The picture below shows Pablo Zuniga Cartes, Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, Bastian Jimenez Freraut, and an unknown fourth man. Federal prosecutors said this is proof of part of the haul from Portis’ home.

 

All seven face charges of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.

Joe Burrow, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes were not specifically named in the complaint, the dates and locations coincided with the break-ins reported at their homes.

Both Travis Kelce And Patrick Mahomes Were Robbed Within 24 Hours

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce’s homes were reportedly burglarized in two separate incidents in 2024.

Their houses were robbed within a day last October.

It’s unclear if anything was stolen in Patrick Mahomes’ residence, but at least $20,000 in cash was stolen from Kelce’s home.

It’s long been suspected that Taylor Swift’s association with the Kansas City Chiefs, due to her relationship with Travis Kelce, has been very profitable for the NFL as a whole.

Taylor and Travis began dating in 2023 and are unsurprisingly still going strong, although he was unable to win another Super Bowl with her watching on earlier this month.

According to a new report, the “Cruel Summer” artist has indeed made the league ridiculous sums, with the number understood to have already passed the billion-dollar mark.

Taylor was always going to attract new fans, given that she’s the biggest draw among the female demographic and has a fiercely loyal fan base. But not even the NFL could have expected the profit they’d make from her coupling with the Chiefs tight end.

A report based on data provided to MarketWatch by Apex Marketing, a company focused on advertising and branding services, shows that Swift has earned the league over $1 billion in “total equivalent brand value.”

“From Sep. 24, 2023, to Jan. 28, 2024 — the date of that year’s AFC Championship game — Swift created $366,753,290 in total equivalent brand value for the NFL,” the report notes.

It adds:

“In the year since, Swift has helped the NFL even more, according to Apex, creating an estimated $634,304,163 in equivalent brand value from the day after the 2024 AFC Championship through Jan. 27, the day after the 2025 AFC Championship.”

Taylor Swift Made The NFL Close To Half Of What It Made In Total Sponsorship Revenue

The numbers mentioned add up to a total of $1,001,057,453, which is close to half of what the NFL earned in sponsorship revenue in 2024/25 – the league brought in a total of $2.49 billion.

It appears they’re set to make even more next season, as Travis Kelce is apparently leaning toward coming back in 2025 amid reports claiming he could retire.

Still, Roger Goodell probably regrets that they didn’t hook up 10 years ago.

Taylor Swift is the most famous artist associated with the NFL, and many fans were clamoring for her to do the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans. Those fans did not get their wish.

However, Kendrick Lamar was chosen to perform at halftime during Super Bowl 59, and many fans claimed that the performance was underwhelming. Not only that, but it was all just a shot at fellow rapper Drake.

Many fans claim that Swift, who just finished her billion-dollar Era’s Tour in December, would have done a way better job. And while that could very much be the case, the odds of her performing at the half have now been revealed.

Even though many fans called Lamar’s half-time performance ‘the worst in Super Bowl history,’ there was essentially no shot that Swift would have taken his place to perform at the Superdome on gameday.

Travis Kelce Is The Main Reason Taylor Swift won’t Perform A Super Bowl Half-Time Show

In an interview with the DailyMail, a source close to Taylor said that she prefers to wait and that Travis Kelce, her well-known boyfriend, is out of the NFL. “She doesn’t want to do it now until Travis is fully retired, as she would like to support him at the game rather than perform at it.”

 

“When she eventually performs at it, she wants all her loved ones to be able to experience it. And as long as Travis is in the league, the Chiefs have a chance to be in the game,” the source said, confirming that she won’t do it until her boyfriend retires.

While Kelce could retire as early as next year, many fans seem to think that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank—so much so that he could play another year in the league. Yet it remains unclear whether or not he will retire. Until then, fans must wait for a Taylor Swift half-time show.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is coming to an important decision for his career.

Kelce reportedly might not be ready to call it a career just yet.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported this week that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is “leaning more toward” returning in 2025 rather than retiring.

“There’s definitely a sense that Travis is going to try to play more,” Russini said on The Rich Eisen Show.

“I haven’t heard anyone saying, ‘Yeah, he’s really struggling with what he wants to do.’ It’s definitely leaning more towards that. That can of course change… But for this Chiefs operation looking to move forward here, I think they feel pretty good that Travis has a little more left in him.”

 

The 2024 season showed that Travis Kelce might be past his prime, but he still showed he can be productive in a smaller role as the Chiefs look to get back to the Super Bowl.

He’s coming off a season in which he recorded 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 97 receptions.

It took until the end of October for him to find the end zone for the first time during the 2024 season. He got off to an incredbly slow start for the year as he hauled in just eight passes for 69 yards over the Chiefs’ first three games.

A season-ending injury to second-year wide receiver Rashee Rice gave him more opportunities in the offense.

Retirement is a massive decision for every player, and that notion has been following Travis Kelce for some time.

The Chiefs made sure that the tight end made the right decision but also did it in a timely fashion.

The Kansas City Chiefs gave him a month to decide whether or not he will retire. Kelce had until mid-March to decide.

Kelce is due an $11.5 million roster bonus on March 15.
