I didn't watch the Super Bowl this year, normally I try to catch the half-time show, but I wasn't home this year, so caught Rihanna later that night on YouTube. Football is just not my sport, too slow, I prefer watching basketball and hockey which move at a much quicker pace.
I am aware however, of certain football players, and this year, one in particular got the lion's share of attention. Even before this years Super Bowl, Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, was all over the news. This years game marked the first time a Super Bowl featured two brothers on opposing teams.
Travis's brother Jason Kelce plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team opposing the Chiefs in this year's Super Bowl LVII. Both Travis and Jason, and their mother, were all over the news with stories about the brothers, their teams rivalry, and who mom would celebrate and commiserate with, after the game. The Chiefs won with Travis catching six passes for 81 yards and a touchdown as the Chiefs beat the Eagles 38–35. This brought Travis his second Super Bowl ring.
Last weekend, Travis hosted Saturday Night Live, and for me, it was one of the better episodes of the season. It wasn't that the writing or sketches were so well written, it was Travis who elevated the episode. His hottest and charisma sold many poorly written sketches, and his commitment and happiness just to be there were evident from the opening monologue to the goodbyes during the finale.
