Travis Kelce, known for his candid takes and fiery personality, recently stirred the pot while discussing the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener in São Paulo, Brazil. On his podcast New Heights, Kelce reacted to the international game news with a bit of heat-induced hesitation, sparking mixed reactions from fans and media alike.

While it might’ve sounded like he wasn’t thrilled, a closer look shows it was more about weather woes than a lack of enthusiasm for the game.

Travis Kelce didn’t hold back when firing up a college football feud with former NFL linebacker Will Compton and he did it in classic Kelce fashion. On New Heights, while defending his alma mater, the Cincinnati Bearcats, Kelce turned up the heat with one fiery declaration.

“It’s f**ing on like Donkey Kong.”

Looking straight into the camera, he followed up with even more heat, saying, “You son of a b*tch. You’re getting my pss hot, Will.” The message was clear, this wasn’t just friendly banter, Kelce was fully dialed in, and he wasn’t going to let Compton's playful jab at Cincinnati slide.But Travis wasn’t the only Kelce throwing verbal punches. His brother, Jason Kelce, known for his wild analogies and colorful language, jumped in with one of the most bizarre yet hilarious metaphors fans have heard on the show.

Referring to Nebraska, Will Compton’s college team Jason said, “Corn’s tough. It’s hard to digest… But you know what can? A Binturong. They are going to eat sh*t out of you, Corn Hus*kin’ white guys wearing red uniforms.

”*The brotherly tag-team had fans in stitches while also showing how deeply rooted their school pride runs. Beneath the jokes and jabs was a serious sense of loyalty to their alma mater and they were clearly having fun with it.The humor landed, but the concern was real. Still, once he noticed how his comments were being taken, Kelce didn’t let the narrative spiral. He owned it immediately and clarified his stance: “I apologize if it came off that I’m not excited about this,” he said. “I’m still excited.”That quick correction showed maturity and awareness. Travis Kelce knew the opportunity to play internationally is a big moment for the NFL, the fans, and the players.

The São Paulo matchup between the Chiefs and Chargers is part of a broader effort to grow the league’s global presence, and Kelce’s participation adds star power to the occasion.Also read: “It's not trademarked”: Saquon Barkley celebrates Tush Push victory, demands Roger Goodell guarantee NFL contractsIn the end, this moment wasn’t about complaining it was about being real.
