Stop me if you’ve heard this before.
Did you know that Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are brothers, and their teams are squaring off in Super Bowl 57? Were you aware of how delighted their awesome mom is for them as they reignite their sibling rivalry on the biggest stage in American sports?
Okay, yes.
By now, you’ve probably digested everything there is to know about the “Kelce Bowl.” But there’s one person, really one man, who we haven’t heard from much yet. I’m talking about Ed Kelce, the father of the two First-Team All-Pros on the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively.
Thankfully, we’re in luck, as the brothers invited their dad, Ed Kelce, on the latest episode of their podcast New Heights. (Don’t overlook that he wore a Cincinnati jersey, where both of his sons went to college!) When Travis and Jason told their father he was going to lose Sunday because one of his sons would be a Super Bowl loser, he responded perfectly:

"I'm on the most popular podcast in sports, I've already f—ing won!" 🥺🥺🥺

Awww. Ed Kelce definitely understands how to keep perspective. He knows his sons are two of the most famous athletes in America, whose podcast also happens to be the No. 1 sports podcast around, per Chartable. And he’s just reveling in it! As he should!
Even if this proud dad plans to morph into immediate comfort mode for the son that loses Super Bowl 57, that reality doesn’t seem to faze him. He’s enjoying his boys being the talk of the sports world. Quite frankly, it’s heartwarming to see.
