Travis Kelce Addresses His NFL Future Ahead of Christmas Game vs Broncos

Leave a comment

In what could be his final home game at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas against the Denver Broncos, Travis Kelce shared a special moment with fellow Chiefs legend and tight end Tony Gonzalez before taking the field. The occasion was charged with emotion, as fans and players alike contemplated the possibility of this being Kelce’s last appearance on his home turf.

When asked if he had caught his final pass from close friend Patrick Mahomes, Kelce remained reflective, stating that no matter what, they would always be able to play catch outside of the Chiefs’ field. He acknowledged the deep bond they share and the impact their relationship has had on his career.

Addressing the inevitable question of whether this Christmas game would mark his final run out of the Chiefs’ tunnel, Kelce revealed that the decision is still weighing heavily on him. He mentioned the importance of speaking with his brother, Jason Kelce, who recently retired at the peak of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. The two brothers co-host and run the “New Heights” podcast, which has rapidly gained influence in the sports media world since its launch a few years ago—especially notable considering they faced each other in the Super Bowl.

Although Kelce did not confirm that Thursday’s game would be his last, he openly admitted that the end of his illustrious career is near. He shared that he has contemplated retirement several times but was continually drawn back into the spotlight as part of one of the greatest dynasties in American football history.

“I feel like I can’t even look my guy, Coach Andy Reid,” Kelce confessed in a pre-game interview with Amazon Prime. “I feel like I disappoint or I just let him down in some way.”

Kelce’s journey began when the Chiefs drafted him in the 3rd round with the 63rd overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft out of the University of Cincinnati. His first professional catch came in 2014, recording three receptions for 49 yards against the Tennessee Titans, with Alex Smith at quarterback. The following year, Kelce earned his first Pro Bowl selection—one of 11 throughout his career.

In 2015, he started all 16 games, amassing 72 receptions for 875 yards and five touchdowns. That breakout season marked the beginning of the Chiefs’ decade-long streak of postseason appearances, including a playoff victory over the Houston Texans before falling to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in the second round.

Over the years, Kelce has been named a First-Team All-Pro tight end four times, trailing only fellow Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez by two selections.

Looking ahead, Kelce and the Chiefs will travel to Las Vegas next weekend to conclude the 2025 season facing the Raiders.

Broncos Lose Out on JK Dobbins Replacement to Chiefs

Leave a comment

The Denver Broncos entered their Week 12 bye with one glaring question mark at the running back position following J. K. Dobbins’ season-ending injury. Unfortunately, their attempt to bring in a replacement for Dobbins on Sunday was foiled by perhaps their biggest AFC West rival, the Kansas City Chiefs. For the most part, the 2025 season has gone as good as it possibly could for the Broncos. Their 9-2 record has them firmly at the top of the AFC West and potentially in contention for the top overall seed in the AFC. While Denver is riding an eight-game winning streak, there are reasons to be concerned about their rushing attack without Dobbins in the picture. Notably, the Broncos were only able to rush for 59 yards in their Week 11 win over the Chiefs, their first game since their star running back’s injury. More news: 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey Sends Bold Message on Former Panthers Teammate Attempting to fill the void of Dobbins’ absence, the Broncos were reportedly nearing a deal with free agent running back Dameon Pierce, according to Broncos reporter Mike Klis. However, Pierce instead opted to sign with the Chiefs’ practice squad. More news: Patriots’ Will Campbell Carted to Locker Room With Apparent Leg Injury Denver will now look elsewhere to potentially add depth at running back to help replace Dobbins. Meanwhile, the Chiefs add a player who can potentially factor into their running back room, which could come back to bite the Broncos. The Chiefs and Broncos do still have one remaining game against one another in Week 17 that could have ramifications at the top of the AFC West standings. If Pierce does end up gaining a role on the Chiefs’ offense by the time that matchup happens, missing out on signing him could sting even more. On the bright side for Denver, they will get an ideal matchup to potentially get their run game going in Week 13 when they take on the Washington Commanders, who have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards in football this year. So maybe rookie running back RJ Harvey can show that he is fully capable of taking on a workhorse role without Dobbins or Pierce in the picture.

Fascinating Background – The CIA Was Misleading Witkoff and Kushner on Key Intelligence About Hamas During Critical Phase of Peace Negotiations

Leave a comment

A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner sheds light on the backstory of the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza. During the discussion, Witkoff and Kushner detail the step-by-step process they followed as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt.

One particularly striking moment occurs when Witkoff reveals that the CIA was briefing both him and Kushner multiple times a day. However, the intelligence they received from the CIA was exactly the opposite of what the Emir of Qatar and the Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. In other words, the CIA intelligence was completely at odds with the reality on the ground.

**WATCH:** What Witkoff and Kushner are describing highlights precisely why “outside government” emissaries play a vitally necessary role in circumventing the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This example is stunning in its magnitude, especially when considered within the importance of the moment.

On a positive note, with Witkoff making this candid public statement, we can now add a major data point to President Trump’s well-known skepticism toward the CIA. This aligns with previous assertions from figures like Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard, who have expressed similar concerns about intelligence reliability.

The example of the CIA getting it wrong—and misleading the administration—has long-range ramifications that extend beyond the Hamas case. Given this context, it’s reasonable to feel optimistic that President Trump remains cautious about trusting CIA intelligence, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

This insight underscores the ongoing debate about intelligence transparency and reliability at the highest levels of government.
