Marshawn Kneeland’s girlfriend speaks out over Cowboys star’s death

Marshawn Kneeland’s girlfriend is breaking her silence following the death of the Dallas Cowboys defensive end. “I’m grieving hard right now,” Catalina Mancera told the Daily Mail on Monday, November 10. “It will be a long time before I’ll feel ready to talk at any length.” Kneeland died on Thursday, Nov. 6, following a brief police chase. The NFL star was found dead near his abandoned car on the Dallas Parkway due to an apparent suicide. Mancera told authorities that Kneeland had “a history of mental illness.” As the family continues to grieve the loss of Kneeland, Mancera shared that they are planning the athlete’s burial services. “We’re still in the early stages of everything,” Mancera added. “We are working on the funeral arrangements. I don’t know where it’s going to be yet.” Kneeland’s cousin, Nicole Kneeland-Woods, also spoke to The Daily Mail and said that despite Mancera’s claim on the state of her late brother, “There were no previous signs or indications that Marshawn was dealing with mental issues.” “Marshawn was a strong, loving person who cared deeply about his family and everyone around him,” Nicole added. His family broke their silence on Kneeland as he spoke about his character and thanked fans for their support during this difficult time. “He was kind, determined, humble, and full of love,” they wrote in a post on Facebook. “His light shone brightly in every life he touched, and his spirit will continue to live on through the countless hearts he inspired.” “We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, fans, and the community,” they concluded. “During this difficult time, we ask for privacy as we come together as a family to honor and remember Marshawn’s life and legacy.”

Marc Anthony gives Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show advice

Marc Anthony is giving Bad Bunny some advice before he embarks on a huge career opportunity. In September, the Puerto Rican rapper was announced as the Super Bowl halftime performer. Anthony shared that he wants to ensure that Bad Bunny — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — is ready. “I tell him to just to be responsible with the risk [and] with the responsibility that he’s taking on, because I’m sure for him, he sees this as a massive responsibility to represent not only his culture, but his music,” Anthony said told Rolling Stone. “He’s going to work that much harder to bring an amazing show, and I’m looking forward to it.” While Anthony hasn’t headlined a Super Bowl, he did perform as he sung “America the Beautiful” alongside Mary J. Blige at Super Bowl 36 in 2002. Bad Bunny also has Super Bowl halftime show experience when he was a guest at Super Bowl 54. He performed alongside J Balvin when Jennifer Lopez and Shakira performed in 2020. Anthony and Bad Bunny have worked together for nearly a decade, with the “Vivir Mi Vida” singer showing up at Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos concert in Puerto Rico. He shared that he will be supporting Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. “I’ll definitely be there, and I’ll be the first one cheering him on,” he continued. Bad Bunny Super Bowl backlash Bad Bunny has received a lot of backlash after it was announced he would be performing at the Super Bowl. President Donald Trump shared his disapproval of the Puerto Rican rapper performing, and Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be present at the Super Bowl. Additionally, former race car driver Danica Patrick suggested that there should be an alternate Super Bowl halftime show due to the singer having a majority of his songs in Spanish. However, despite what others think, Anthony believes that he is there on merit and that his streaming numbers, as well as other accolades, do not lie. “He’s not there because he’s lucky,” he said of Bad Bunny, who has 11 Latin Grammys, three Grammys, and 80 million listeners on Spotify. “He’s there based on merit and everything that he’s accomplished. I mean, his numbers are just astronomical.” “I’m proud of what he’s been able to accomplish in terms of spreading his gospel and that type of music, and the level he’s taken it to,” Anthony continued. Bad Bunny is still in good spirits as well, despite the negative comments, and is aware of what this means for the culture. “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” he said in a statement following the Super Bowl halftime show announcement. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.” Bad Bunny will make history as the first Latino male to perform solo at the Super Bowl. The 2026 Super Bowl will be on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California

Will Taylor Swift support Travis Kelce at Chiefs-Commanders game?

The Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders will be facing one another during Monday Night Football. Since the game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium, fans are curious if Taylor Swift will be there in support of her fiancé, Travis Kelce. Swift recently got nominated for the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and if the Chiefs can pull off a win tonight they can celebrate their accomplishments. However, if we do get to get a peak into Kelce’s suite to see if Swift is in attendance, it will probably only be for a few moments as she has been keeping a low profile while attending games this season. She spoke about trying to keep away from media attention in a recent interview with BBC Radio 2. “I think the entering and exiting building without being seen,” she responded. “Just put me in a garbage can, roll me, I don’t care. Honestly, I can fit in like, a purse. Sometimes I just can’t deal with it [the paparazzi and attention] and in those times, I won’t deal with it. I’m just digging tunnels under every building I go into, airlifting in through the skylight.” So far, Swift has attended all of the home games this season. She made her first appearance at the October 12 game against the Detroit Lions, the September 28 game against the Baltimore Ravens, and the September 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The latest game she attended was when the Chiefs played against the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 19. Another reason why Swift might make an appearance as the next home game for the Chiefs won’t be until next month. Kansas City Chiefs 2025 Home Games Week 12: vs. Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, November 23 Week 14: vs. Houston Texans on Sunday, December 7 Week 17: vs. Denver Broncos on Thursday, December 25 The Chiefs and Commanders game kicks off at 8:15 pm ET.

Allen Iverson gives advice to Mavs’ rookie Cooper Flagg

From one No. 1 NBA Draft pick to another, Allen Iverson has some advice for Dallas Mavericks’ rookie Cooper Flagg, as well as others getting their start in the league. In a conversation with TMZ, Iverson told Flagg to take things “one day at a time.” Iverson added that Flagg should leave everything he’s got on the court. “The most important thing, and I think this will take care of everything, is playing every game like it’s your last, you know?” Iverson added. “You do that and everything else takes care of itself.” The 18-year-old is the youngest NBA Draft pick since LeBron James in 2003. Following the 2025 NBA Draft, Flagg shared how being drafted to the Dallas Mavericks felt “amazing” and was a “dream come true.” So far, the Mavs have yet to win a game, but Flagg has been playing well. In his NBA debut on Oct. 22, Flagg got a double-double: 10 points and 10 rebounds against the San Antonio Spurs. No idea how Cooper Flagg made this pic.twitter.com/soxN3jJF0q — MFFL NATION (@NationMffl) October 23, 2025 On his second game of the year against the Washington Wizards on Oct. 24, Flagg scored 18 points, six assists, and five rebounds. “It was a lot of energy in the building, I thought we were competing at a high level in that fourth quarter and playing the play we want to play,” Flagg said after the Wizards game. “I think we took somewhat of a step in the right direction, but it has to be a lot better. I know I’m kicking myself, I’m not happy and I’m a little upset.” “It’s just … I’m competitive. I love to win. It’s not a great start. We’ve got a lot of film to look at, a lot of stuff to look and a lot to improve.” While the Mavs have gotten off to a rough start this year, LeBron shared that he believes Flagg is in good hands as he is coached by NBA champion and Hall of Famer Jason Kidd and has several NBA legends as teammates. “He has the benefit, unlike myself, he gets to join a team that’s established with Hall of Fame guys — Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving — right off the bat. Hall of Fame coach, Jason Kidd. You know, these guys are like, they can give him the whole blueprint while he continues to learn what his blueprint will be,” LeBron said on his Mind the Game podcast. “I think that will be an incredible thing to have that type of presence, that type of leadership, that type of just basketball IQ and knowledge around him every single day from those pieces,” LeBron added. “So, I think he’s going to be amazing.” The next Mavs game is tonight at 7:30 pm ET against the Toronto Raptors.
