  • Taylor & Travis’ Engagement + Dolphins Final Roster Reactions 🏈💍🎶🐬
    Aug 28 2025

    In this episode of The Flame: Entertainment & Sports, host Rob Cao reflects on the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce — offering heartfelt congratulations to the couple and their loved ones. Rob shares a personal note on how Taylor and Travis’ relationship has been intertwined with his own podcasting journey, giving him renewed direction and confidence since resuming in 2023. As a true romantic, Rob thanks God for the chance to cover their story and highlights how this relationship feels different from the start, with Taylor being more open and expressive than ever.

    Rob also discusses the exciting but busy times in Taylor’s world: her engagement, the New Heights appearance and album announcement, Travis’ upcoming NFL season, and her album release in October.

    Switching to sports, Rob breaks down the Miami Dolphins’ initial 53-man roster:


    • The disappointment of preseason standouts Derrick McClelland and Greyson Murphy not making the team, and why the decision makes sense given Miami’s stacked group of pass rushers (Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb, Chop Robinson, Matthew Judon).


    • The additions of veteran corner Rasul Douglas and 2023 second-round pick JuJu Brents to bolster the CB room.


    • The return of swing tackle Kendall Lamm and the huge boost of starter Austin Jackson returning to practice ahead of Week 1 vs. the Colts.


    • The unfortunate injury to longtime kicker Jason Sanders (out 4–5 games) and Miami’s signing of Riley Patterson to fill in.

    It’s a jam-packed mix of love, life, and football you won’t want to miss.
