Taylor Swift Takes NFL to New Heights

  • Taylor Swift appeared at the Kansas City Chiefs game Sunday after weeks of rumors that she is dating tight end Travis Kelce.
  • The appearance has had its value — skyrocketing viewership for the game amongst women.
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Plus, executive director of sports law and business at Villanova, Andrew Brandt, joins to discuss private equity and sovereign wealth fund money potentially entering the NFL, the league’s grievance against the NFLPA, what ails the New York Jets and what to expect from this year’s trade deadline.
