Jason Kelce is one of the top centers in the NFL, and on Thursday night after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Minnesota Vikings, he also showed off his PR skills in dodging a question about his brother’s rumored relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift. 

Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez attempted to get the inside scoop during the "Thursday Night Football" broadcast by using his 15-year-old daughter as leverage, but Kelce wouldn’t take the bait. 

"I have seen these rumors, I cannot comment," Kelce said with a laugh, as quarterback Jalen Hurts added it felt like they were on "Gossip TV."

"Ever since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everybody’s been infatuated with Travis’ love life," Jason Kelce said, referencing a 2016 reality dating show that featured the Kansas City Chiefs star.

"I don’t really know what’s going on there. So, yeah, I know Trav is having fun, and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with." 

Earlier this week a report from The Messenger linked the four-time first-team All-Pro selection to Swift. According to the report, the two have been "quietly hanging out" for weeks.

Kelce revealed on his podcast "New Heights" back in July that he made a failed attempt to meet with Swift and give her his number during a concert he attended. 

"I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows, because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Kelce told his older brother, Jason, at the time. "So, I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her." 

"If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it," he added. 

Kelce missed the Chiefs’ season opener last week after hyperextending his knee in practice two days before kickoff, but he's expected to play in Jacksonville against the Jaguars on Sunday.

The Department of Homeland Security is warning that an increasing amount of people on the U.S. terrorist watch list are being encountered at the border. 

In its 2024 Homeland Threat Assessment report released this week, the agency said that "[a]lthough encounters with migrants have declined from record highs in December, migrants seeking entry to the United States are still arriving at a rate that is on pace to nearly match 2022 total encounters." 

"As part of this increase, we have encountered growing numbers of individuals in the Terrorist Screening Data Set (TSDS), also known as the ‘watchlist,’" the report said. 

As of July, around 160 non-U.S. persons on that watchlist have "attempted to enter the United States via the southern border this year, most of whom were encountered attempting to illegally enter between ports of entry," according to the DHS.

The figure is an increase from the approximately 100 encounters of that kind throughout fiscal year 2022, it said, noting that inclusion on the terror watchlist ranges from people being known associates of watchlisted individuals to being directly engaged in terrorist activity themselves.

"During the next year, we assess that the threat of violence from individuals radicalized in the United States will remain high, but largely unchanged, marked by lone offenders or small group attacks that occur with little warning," the DHS also said. "Foreign terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS are seeking to rebuild overseas, and they maintain worldwide networks of supporters that could seek to target the Homeland."

Despite terrorism remaining a top threat, DHS said in the report that it believes illegal drugs produced in Mexico and sold in the U.S. will continue to kill more Americans than anything else. 

"During the past year, U.S.-based traffickers have become more involved in the mixing and pressing of fentanyl, contributing to more lethal mixes of this already deadly drug," the report said. 

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement that by releasing the Homeland Threat Assessment report, "we will enable our partners across state, local, tribal, and territorial government, along with the private and non-profit sectors, to make better-informed decisions that account for these security challenges."
