Travis Kelce’s slip-up during his podcast says a lot.

With the Kansas City Chiefs out of the postseason race, the focus is on tight end Travis Kelce and his playing future.

The Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention in Sunday’s heartbreaking loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear late in the contest, adding more insult to injury in what has been a disastrous year for the defending AFC champions.

In Kansas City, the attention has shifted toward Travis Kelce. Could these final three games be the last in his Hall of Fame career? Or will he sign up for a 14th campaign? We won’t know any time soon, as Kelce already told reporters he will make his decision after the season.

During the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast, the 36-year-old spoke about Mahomes’ injury and recovery. Notice the interesting way that Travis Kelce worded the following sentence:

“He’s gonna make sure he comes back stronger than ever. Hopefully, the Chiefs can get him back as soon as possible…I know he’s going to be doing everything he can to get back on that field as soon as possible.”

As ML Football points out, Kelce said “the Chiefs.” Not “we.” So make of that as you will.

The Chiefs visit the Tennessee Titans at 1:00 p.m. EST.

Travis Kelce Is Still Playing At A High Level

The 10-time Pro Bowler may not be in his prime anymore, but Kelce is still playing at a relatively high level. He has 67 receptions for 797 yards and five touchdowns, needing just 203 yards to reach 1,000 yards for the first time since 2022.

But with three Super Bowl rings and a Hall of Fame resume, Kelce has nothing left to prove in the NFL. He proposed to Taylor Swift in August, so don’t be surprised if he ultimately decides to put his personal life first after an illustrious football career.

Since Kelce won’t make his decision until after the season, Chiefs fans better just enjoy these next three games and treat them like they’re his last.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
