Fox News journalist Lisa Boothe expressed her feelings about Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce earlier this month in the lead-up to the 2025 Super Bowl. The Chiefs faced the Eagles in Super Bowl 59 on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, and Boothe lashed out at Kelce just before the game.
She mentioned how Kelce pushed coach Andy Reid in last year’s Super Bowl and called the tight end an “arrogant jerk.”
“My dislike of Travis Kelce isn’t just about Taylor,” Boothe wrote on X. “He was in the Pfizer ad, a Bud Light one, and pushed his coach. He just seems like a woke, arrogant jerk.”

Travis Kelce made headlines in February 2024 due to a heated incident with Reid. During the 2024 Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, the Chiefs tight end lost his temper. He shoved Reid, causing him to lose his balance.
Jerick McKinnon intervened and pulled Kelce away. Kelce later apologized for his actions in an episode of the New Heights podcast last year.
“It’s definitely unacceptable, I immediately wished I could take it back.”
The three-time Super Bowl champion ultimately had an impressive outing in Super Bowl 2024, where the Chiefs defeated the 49ers 25-22. He tallied 93
yards on nine receptions.
He could not replicate that effort in this year’s Super Bowl. The Kansas City. Chiefs were to complete a historic three-peat but fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in New Orleans. Kelce managed just four receptions for 39 yards.
NFL analysts discuss Travis Kelce’ future Travis Kelce’s future with the team remains uncertain, with rumors of his potential retirement doing the rounds. Following the Chiefs’ loss in Super Bowl LIX, NFL analysts discussed Kelce’s future on an episode of Breakfast Ball.
“If you took Travis Kelce and essentially made him a situational player, took some pressure off of him and say, ‘We’re going to use you in these packages, you know, red zone, third downs, and all those things, when we can get into two-tights and want to spread people in that formation,’ he’s a guy who certainly can adjust that way.”
However, Fox Sports reporter Craig Carton disagreed with Schlereth’s comments, saying:
“I don’t think you can ask him to be a role player, third-down only type of guy. Isn’t he better off just retiring at that point? I’m saying ego-wise.”
