For Pete's Sake

Tony Gonzalez wanted Jason Kelce to spill the beans on Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift rumors

Tony Gonzalez asked Jason Kelce about his brother’s relationship with Taylor Swift.
Tony Gonzalez asked Jason Kelce about his brother’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

In a twist, former Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez was razzed Thursday on Amazon Prime’s postgame show.

Gonzalez is one of the Amazon analysts, so he’s usually not the focal point. But his fellow broadcasters were not thrilled with his line of questioning following the Eagles’ 34-28 win over the Vikings.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and center Jason Kelce joined the postgame show, and Gonzalez directed his query to Kelce.

“I have a 15-year-old daughter and she’s a big fan of a certain pop star and you have a family member, a brother, I think and I’ve been hearing rumors,” Gonzalez said. “Can you comment on these rumors?”

Charissa Thompson let out an “Oh God,” Richard Sherman asked if this was TMZ and Hurts called it “Gossip TV.”

But this rumored friendship between Taylor Swift and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been a hot topic this week, and Gonzalez’s daughter wants to know more.

Jason Kelce brought up his brother’s old dating show but didn’t say much.

“Ever since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everyone’s been infatuated with Travis’s love life,” Jason Kelce said. “I don’t really know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with.”

Thompson then said she works at the entertainment show “Extra” and joked that she could get Gonzalez a job there.

This has to be a first in football history: a player on a winning team is asked about his brother’s love life.
