00:00I really hate it when you're not here, when I get to gloat.

00:04Oh, thank you.

00:05Oh.

00:06All right?

00:07It's not that I, you know, fine if you're not here.

00:09But as predicted, Travis Kelsey, as I predicted, announced that he is coming back to play in

00:15the NFL next season.

00:17He isn't going to let it go after that disaster of a Super Bowl, if you want to call it that.

00:23But he was talking more about the decision, because there was a lot that went on it, so

00:27went into it.

00:28He was on New Heights with his brother, Jason, and revealed all the things that he was weighing

00:35before deciding to come back to the NFL.

00:38And there's a lot, a lot he was weighing.

00:43Why are you playing another season?

00:45Why are you going to go out there, risk injury, and make less money than you could make not

00:51playing football?

00:52Why are you doing this?

00:53Well, that was kind of the one I had to juggle right there.

00:57I think the biggest thing is that I f***ing love playing the game of football.

01:01That's a good reason.

01:02I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I help them, especially if you look at my

01:07track record and how I've been in years past.

01:09I don't know if that's true.

01:10I just, you know, I want to give it a good run.

01:14My question is, is Aaron Rodgers, though, a cautionary tale for him?

01:20Seriously.

01:21I don't think so.

01:22And, look, things didn't work out for Aaron Rodgers in New Jersey, or New York.

01:27He didn't play terrible.

01:28And, by the way, Aaron Rodgers also doesn't get hit as much.

01:30Yeah.

01:31Very true.

01:32And, look, the Jets didn't win.

01:34But I think for Travis Kelce, he could definitely make more money off of the field.

01:39He's due to make like $17 million or so for the Chiefs this season, but it's not about

01:45money.

01:46He will.

01:47But he can still make money.

01:48I mean, come on.

01:49He can, but his legacy is on the line here.

01:50Look, there's a big debate.

01:51Who's the greatest tight end of all time?

01:53Is it Rob Gronkowski?

01:54Is it Travis Kelce?

01:55Right now, Travis has three Super Bowls.

01:57Rob has four.

01:58If he goes out next year and wins a Super Bowl, that debate rages all the more.

02:03What if he doesn't do well?

02:04Then what?

02:05Then he retires the next year.

02:06He's not going to embarrass himself.

02:07And you can, he can be, he can be in entertainment for the rest of his life.

02:11You could theoretically be 74 years old and be a mogul in entertainment.

02:15You can, but there is a thing in entertainment about striking while the iron is hot.

02:20And it's never arguably going to be hotter than it is right now because of his, no,

02:28I'm just saying, I'm just saying, he and Taylor Swift are attached at the hip now, right?

02:34That's why he's going to make so much money.

02:35And that's why people want him.

02:37Now, God forbid, I'm not wishing anything, just like he got so upset when his brother

02:41brought up injury.

02:42I'm not bringing up things that they're going to break up.

02:46But things do happen sometimes.

02:49And let's say at the end of next season, he and Taylor aren't together.

02:52Well, the iron's not going to be quite as hot.

02:54I'm not going to say he's going to go broke, but if he was looking at a hundred million

02:59this year, maybe he's only looking at 20 million.

03:02What Charles is saying is strike while the iron is hot.

03:06My point is the iron's still going to be scalding hot next season.

03:11It'll be, but potentially things happen.

03:14I mean, look, I'm not saying, hold on, hold on, hold on, what if they get married?

03:18I know.

03:19But hold on.

03:20Yeah.

03:21And if they get married, then all the drama's gone.

03:22But it's true.

03:23But he could make more money.

03:24Let me give you an example.

03:26A year ago, Ryan Reynolds was top of the world.

03:32And he's gotten dragged into this whole thing that nobody saw coming.

03:37And stuff like that happens.

03:39So all- Wait, are you saying that this whole Justin

03:43and Blake thing is going to derail another Deadpool movie?

03:47Don't put that out there.

03:48I'm not saying it's going to derail.

03:49Don't put that out there.

03:50But you know what I'm saying.
