Rich Eisen on Travis Kelce's Improbable Journey to Becoming "the First Gentleman of Pop Culture"

fun times I mean he's just an all-time great human you remember when he first came in here right yeah yeah he came in here and and he was the tight end that wor wore gron number Y and had some abilities that looked like groon and and had some some issues holding back his anger kind of an attitude issue you know he had the flag he threw the flag at the official the one year and got lost his cool and talk to him about keeping his cool yeah and you're Wonder like man if this guy ever gets it together controls his emotions and channels it into his play could be something great it was a little higher register back then and now first ballot Hall of Fame first ball without a doubt without a doubt may have every record known to all tight ends and um is one of the most famous people on the planet yeah would you say he's one of the faces of the league well not just the league but of Pop Culture honestly he's what he's the first gentleman of of Pop Culture it's pretty funny I'm serious and and pop culture guys yeah in Frankfurt last year we were at the chief's first practice and Peter King was there Peter Peter came up to me and he goes do you remember remember this much media in Munich and I said it was pretty wild but no the cameras and the microphones and the reporters were all there and it wasn't because the chiefs were the defending Super Bowl champs they were there for Travis Kelce fact fact in Frankfurt the international media wanted a glimpse of Travis Kelsey and he that's his life now that's his oh yeah yeah that is his life for sure and I just think it's so refreshing the way he talks about his girlfriend and obviously goes about his football business and the three repeat is real jent the three peat is flat out real more than and again I don't know if because it was just 20 years ago um but Flatout real in a way that it didn't feel that real for the Patriots because media is different that's why don't you think I it's 100% media yeah in my in my opinion I'm also Patriots made it as far as a divisional round against the Broncos yeah lost on the they by the way because they went 10 and six they went 10 and six and still won the division thanks to afc's just ter just you know fell down flat yeah and Champ Bailey fumbled out the end zone and they didn't call it well there was a lot going on in that game catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
