Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce called out FOX Sports for doing a popular NFL analyst “dirty” with their broadcasting shakeup.
Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady is set to begin the 10-year, $375 million contract he signed with FOX Sports two years ago. Brady will work on the network’s top team with play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews, and Travis Kelce can’t help but express sympathy for the man the three-time MVP is replacing.
Former Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen worked with Burkhardt and Andrews for two seasons, but he’s been moved to the No. 2 team with play-by-play man Joe Davis.
During the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast he co-hosts with older brother Jason Kelce, Travis accused FOX of doing Olsen “dirty” by moving him off the network’s top commentary team:
“I love my guy Greg Olsen. They kinda did him dirty over there at Fox. But I mean, it’s Tom Brady, what can you do? Sometimes you just gotta do your thing. And Greg does a (expletive) tremendous job.
I try not to be biased against the commentators and the color guys, but I think Greg is phenomenal at it,” Jason said. “You can tell he makes it a point to know what he is really talking about…I think he’s got a beautiful blend of knowledge and experience to unleash when he calls games. It’s a joy to watch Greg call games or listen to it.”
On Monday, FOX Sports’ Michael Strahan announced that Brady’s first game in the broadcast booth will be the Cleveland Browns’ Week 1 home opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
As for the Chiefs, they’ll host the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 5 against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. This is a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game, in which KC emerged victorious 17-10.
Travis Kelce & Chiefs Aim For The Three-Peat
No team has completed a three-peat in the Super Bowl era, but Kelce and the Chiefs find themselves two-thirds of the way there.
The Chiefs cemented dynastic status by defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58, and now they have a chance to become the first team to win three straight Lombardi Trophies. The 1990 San Francisco 49ers and ’94 Dallas Cowboys came close-ish, losing in the NFC title game after winning consecutive Super Bowls.
Kansas City’s quest for NFL history begins in less than four months, with the reigning MVP and his Ravens coming to Arrowhead Stadium to kick off the season.
