Avast ye landlubbers! Travis Kelce, the swashbucklin' star of the Kansas City Chiefs, did regale us with the tale of his encounter with that boot-kickin' Baltimore Ravens privateer, Justin Tucker, on the latest episode of "New Heights." Arrr, 'twas a tale worth hearin' indeed!
In a lighthearted and humorous tone, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce stirred up a rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens after a feud with kicker Justin Tucker prior to the AFC Championship Game. Kelce addressed the altercation with Tucker on the "New Heights" podcast, expressing his frustration with Tucker encroaching on the Chiefs' designated area. According to Kelce, the unwritten rule is to stay out of the opposing team's way. He jokingly suggested that if Tucker wanted to be difficult, he should keep his helmet, football, and kicking tee away from where the quarterbacks warm up. Kelce playfully remarked that he enjoyed being depicted as the villain in this situation. Tucker, on the other hand, downplayed the incident, stating that it was not a big deal and that such interactions are common before games. He explained that each team's kicker goes to the other team's warm-up area, and he had politely moved his helmet when asked by Patrick Mahomes. However, Kelce apparently took the situation more seriously than Tucker did. Ultimately, Tucker was willing to let bygones be bygones, emphasizing that they are all professionals preparing for the game. Kelce claimed that during the ordeal, Tucker was winking at him, which he interpreted as being rude. However, both players were focused on the game and were not in a joking mood. In the end, the Chiefs emerged victorious with a 17-10 win.
