Donna Kelce is the early pick for Super Bowl MVP

She’s the best.

Don’t know if you heard, but Travis and Jason Kelce are the first pair of brothers to face each other in the Super Bowl. No one’s reported this story or really said anything about it or written anything or tweeted about it. Figured I’d fill you in.

But the most important thing to note here is my early Super Bowl MVP pick that has to do with this fact: Donna Kelce.

She’s Jason and Travis’s mom, and I can’t get enough of her. Because you’d think it’d be tough to be their mom and get endless questions about who she’s rooting more for and the like. Even if it’s a happy moment, it can be overwhelming.

But not for Donna! She’s handled everything like a pro and seems to be soaking it all in and delighting in this proud moment for her and he family.

She had a terrific answer last week when asked who she was really rooting for. She’s got that amazing split Eagles-Chiefs Kelce jersey that is just perfect. And on Super Bowl Opening Night — which is always over the top — she showed up with cookies for her kids. She’s all smiles and patient with mics in her face.

Travis had the perfect response when he said “My mom can’t lose” last month, and I’d add that she’s winning Super Bowl week already.

A true MVP!

Quick hits: More from Super Bowl Opening Night … Tony Romo talks about the criticism he’s received … and more.

— So many moments from Monday’s first media availability of the week: Patrick Mahomes forgot about Valentine’s Day. Cooper Manning bonded with Jason Kelce about sibling rivalries. Andy Reid was classy. And Darius Slay ticked off the entire state of Missouri (but he was right about something!).

— Tony Romo says people literally confront him on the street about his awful announcing.

— Tom Brady won’t join the FOX booth until 2024!

Donna Kelce was the best mom ever for bringing cookies to the Kelce brothers’ interview

Nothing can beat moms!

More than most, Donna Kelce might have the best week of anyone coming up.

Her sons, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles, are squaring off in Super Bowl 57. She’s already talked about what it means to see her boys playing in America’s biggest sporting event while the two embrace the “Kelce Bowl” themselves.

About halfway through Super Bowl opening night, the brothers shared the stage during an interview with Michael Irvin. When Mama Kelce was invited up on stage, she simply couldn’t resist her motherly instincts to ensure everyone’s fed.

That’s right: she brought Tupperware filled with cookies.

Leave it to an awesome mom to bring cookies to the Big Important Football Game Show, where everyone’s talking about topics like “legacy” and “growing the sport.”

Is there anything in the world that can beat a caring mom? I’m pretty confident the answer is a firm “no.”

Donna Kelce has perfect solution for rooting for Chiefs or Eagles in Super Bowl LVII

Which team is Donna Kelce rooting for, the #Chiefs or the #Eagles? She came up with a perfect solution to an impossible dilemma.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles C Jason Kelce are set to become the first pair of brothers to play each other in the history of the Super Bowl.

The matchup has created a unique dilemma for the matriarch of the Kelce family and all of their other relatives. Donna Kelce’s support of both her sons has been well-documented throughout the years. She even has a custom Chiefs-Eagles jersey that she wears to games in order to support both of her sons on gameday.

Now that Jason and Travis are playing for all the marbles, she needed a creative solution to figure out who she’ll be rooting for in the Super Bowl. In an appearance on “The Today Show,” Savannah Guthrie asked Donna Kelce point-blank which team she planned to root for in the big game. Her answer was the perfect solution to a unique problem.

“Absolutely, the offense,” Donna exclaimed. “Every time somebody has the ball.”

Travis, of course, plays tight end for Kansas City and Jason plays center for Philadelphia — both positions on the offensive side of the ball. So, sorry to the Eagles and Chiefs defenders out there, you won’t be winning over any fans in the Kelce household for this game. She won’t be rooting for any particular winner, knowing that both of her sons are fierce competitors. She’ll simply be rooting for good performances from both offenses come Super Bowl Sunday.

Travis Kelce was overjoyed for his mom as he got set to face his brother Jason in Super Bowl 57

Mama Kelce must be SO HAPPY about this Super Bowl.

The Kelce brothers will know they’ll have at least one fan cheering them both on when Super Bowl 57 kicks off in February.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelce are the first pair of brothers to face each other in a Super Bowl.

Their mother, Donna Kelce, will have to split duties rooting for her two sons in the big game. When asked Monday about the upcoming sibling rivalry game, the Kelces mentioned that, while it’s all love between the two, the competitiveness will certainly still be there.

Travis Kelce did point out something that’s undoubtedly true: Mama Kelce will be the real winner on Super Bowl Sunday, no matter what happens.

Indeed, whether it’s the Eagles or Chiefs who hoist the Lombardi Trophy, Donna Kelce will get to celebrate watching one of her sons win another Super Bowl ring.

Jason Kelce won a ring with the Eagles in 2018, and Travis Kelce won a ring with the Chiefs in 2020. They’ll now both be angling for another title, but a big hug from mom postgame feels like a given regardless of the result.
