Now let's dive into a little bit about what to talk about this week in the world of sportsso you can break the ice in Small Talk Conversation.
(00:24):
This story is incredible conspiracy theory that I'm here for.
Number 16 ranked Ole Miss upset number three ranked Georgia, but there's a fan theory thatOle Miss coach Lane Kiffin has been releasing squirrels on the field.
Now keep in mind this is the Georgia's first loss against any team other than Alabama in2020, but this weekend's game had a second squirrel delay in as many months.
(00:52):
A few weeks ago during Ole Miss's home win over Oklahoma,
A squirrel was spotted on the field at the end of the first quarter, which caused amomentary delay.
Hmm, something to think about.
Speaking of karma, karma was on the side of the Chiefs this weekend.
With Taylor Swift in the stands, Travis Kelcey tied the franchise record for receivingtouchdowns at 76.
(01:15):
Then the undefeated season for the Chiefs, well, it was on the line and the Chiefs blockedthe Denver Broncos' last second field goal to keep that streak alive.
Now, talking about Taylor Swift.
Her security allegedly stopped photo photographers for taking invasive photos before thegame.
She comes in through the tunnel and they're given the slope of the tunnel.
Her security team had to act fast to make sure that photographers couldn't take photos upSwift's skirt.
(01:41):
So they had all the credentialed photographers stand up when she came in so no one couldget a shot up of her skirt.
After all the tweeting from the Pope.
It has finally paid off for the New Orleans Saints.
They snapped a seven game losing streak, beating the Atlanta Falcons this weekend.
Now you may have heard that story on Friday, the Pope has been accidentally orintentionally using hashtag Saints on his ex account and that pulls up the logo for the

(02:30):
seed Atlanta United on home soil in the best of three series deciders.
Big one there.
And last but certainly not least, let's talk a little tennis.
