“It’s been two days, and I’m already over it…” Jason, the Eagles’ center, said on the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast. “I don’t like that we’re calling this the Kells Bowl. Appreciate the support, but there’s a lot of people involved. It’s major organizations involved. … We’re going to be asked this question nonstop from here on out.” Until the end of the game, and I’m already over it.”
Travis said, “You guys appreciate it calling it the Kelce Bowl, but let’s focus on the Chiefs-Eagles, man.”
It still took a moment for the brothers to recognize the importance of the occasion. Both admitted that, when they were kids, they hoped to one day team up in the Super Bowl for their hometown Cleveland Browns.
When brothers break up, how rare it is, even comparing it to the lottery, they can’t help but be amazed at every brother’s dream.
“Did we think it was going to be the two of us? I don’t know. I thought it might. But I really didn’t fully anticipate it happening until last week.” jason said, “I was like, ‘Man, this could really happen. We really could have a ‘New Heights’ Kells Bowl, and we could really do that.”

“Which is wild and kind of real,” The kansas city tight end responded to. “I feel like I’ve been asked that question my whole career. … My whole time, I’m like, this goal has been to see my brother play in the Super Bowl. Now that it’s actually happening.” So it’s like, man this is kinda sick. …
“When you start throwing out numbers like that, it’s definitely cool. I think there’s a lot more brothers in the league than people realize, which is great. This year especially — Pro Bowl, all-pros, this podcast, align it all for it’s like man in it, it’s mind-boggling, man.
Travis, however, has been reeling from his desire to play his older brother in the big game.

Travis said, “Somebody has to send your brother home.”
On the bright side, both admitted that their mom, Donna, would be happy with this hilarious exchange either way:
Jason: “Mom is a loser, but Mom is also a winner.”
Travis: “She’s a glass woman, though.”
Jason: “She is. She’ll focus on the positive, which is wrong, because she should be for the brother who loses. She’s the front runner. It’s okay.”

Despite being over a week away from the Super Bowl, Jason wasn’t opposed to some early smack talk.
Jason joked, “I’m not a Chiefs fan anymore, Trav. Sorry to break it to you.” “I officially took off my true color Chiefs sweatshirt immediately after the Booker kick. My fandom is shut down for the next two weeks. No barbecue, nothing.”
Oh, and they have absolutely no idea who is getting their parents tickets.

Travis wasn’t sure.
