Cameras caught a fired-up Jack Sawyer delivering a strong message after Saturday’s post-game fiasco with the Michigan Wolverines, as well as the bizarre reaction from head coach Ryan Day.
The Wolverines came into Ohio State and defeated Jack Sawyer’s second-ranked Buckeyes 13-10. The defending national champions improved their record to 7-5 while assuring that Ohio State drops considerably in the rankings.
After their stunning win, the Wolverines celebrated by planting their flag at midfield. That led to an all-out brawl between the two heated rivals for several minutes, and it got so bad to the point where police on the scene had to use pepper spray.

After the game, cameras caught an infuriated Jack Sawyer needing to be held back by a staffer as he screamed, “They’re not (expletive) planting their flag on our field again, bro,” he said.
And oddly, coach Day just looked on in the freezing cold, expressionless. (WARNING: VIDEO BELOW CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT IS NSFW):

“THEY’RE NOT F*CKING PLANTING A FLAG ON OUR F*CKING FIELD AGAIN”

This hasn’t been an easy season for Michigan in year one of the post-Jim Harbaugh era, but a victory over the archrivals on their own field certainly has to feel good.
Jack Sawyer’s Frustrations Are Warranted
One of the unwritten rules in football is that you simply don’t taunt your opponent by celebrating on their logo post-game. Whether it’s “planting a flag”, dancing or another form of celebration, it’s considered the ultimate disrespectful move.
So Jack Sawyer had every right to be upset, and it didn’t help matters that the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes lost a crucial game at home that will see them drop in the standings. Their hopes of securing a first-round bye in the 12-team postseason took a significant hit, after all.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
