Bret Michaels recently had a biopsy on his stomach to remove possible cancer cells. He says, “Just knowing that I absolutely love the outdoors and the sun, but with the recent passing of my friend Jimmy Buffett, I decided it was time for a more recent check up of something I thought was nothing. “Turns out, it was something. But, thanks to an incredible discovery and biopsy by my doctor Darren West and a quick reaction for this procedure on Friday just before the Texas show, I’m here to say that there’s not enough words of gratitude for all that doctors do for so many of us, which not only may have saved my life, but surely extended it. And although not completely out of the woods yet, I feel strongly all will be great.” – LINK

Sunday night’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets was the most watched Sunday television show since the Super Bowl in February, according to NBC, peaking at 29 million viewers—likely thanks to Taylor Swift and her entourage being in attendance to cheer on rumored boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Key Facts
The game—in which the Chiefs had a down-to-the-wire victory over the Jets—averaged about 27 million viewers, NBC said in a release, up from the 24.3 million viewers who tuned in to watch the first game featuring Swift in the stands last week on Fox.
NBC estimates there were about 2 million more female viewers Sunday than in past weeks, with viewership among girls aged 12 to 17 seeing a 53% increase from the average of Sunday Night Football’s first three weeks, viewership among women 18 to 24 up 24% and up 34% among women 35 and older.
Swift—along with stars Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sabrina Carpenter and Hugh Jackman—was in attendance at the Chiefs game for the second week in a row, fueling rumors that she’s dating Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end.
Sunday’s game produced the largest streaming audience NBC Sports has seen for a regular season NFL game on a Sunday.
Big Number
8 million. That’s how many times the “Taylor Made for Sunday Night” game promo was viewed, according to NBC.
Surprising Fact
After Swift’s appearance at the game last week, sales of Kelce’s jerseys spiked 400%, sports clothing retailer Fanatics told the Associated Press.
What To Watch For
Whether Swift will make a third appearance at next week’s Chiefs game, when they face the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota—and, if so, whether her presence will continue to impact ratings so drastically. The game is set for 4:25 p.m. Eastern time on CBS.
Michael Jordan is now so rich, he’s considered one of the wealthiest 400 people in America!!!
Forbes just bestowed the honor on the NBA legend … after it said the sale of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets earlier this summer pushed his net worth to $3 BILLION.
Jordan, according to the outlet, now comes in at No. 397 among the country’s wealthiest 400 … just a few slots below WWE honcho Vince McMahon.
He’s become the first professional athlete to ever make the list.
His Airness, of course, gained a ton his of fortune through NBA contracts and his huge endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Gatorade … but it was the Hornets sale that pushed him into the rarified air.
As we reported, Jordan sold the team to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall in June for $3 billion … this after he initially bought the majority stake of the organization in 2010 for a mere $175 million.
MJ’s got a ways to go to climb even higher on the famed Forbes list — cracking the top 100 requires a bankroll of nearly $9 billion — but if we were betting on anyone to do it … arguably the most competitive man in sports history seems like a safe choice
