After Travis Kelce broke his silence on the Philadelphia Eagles beatdown over his Kansas City Chiefs, Shaquille O'Neal's podcast co-host Adam Lefkoe had a short yet loving message for the veteran tight end. Kelce's Chiefs never found a response to the Eagles' offense and succumbed 40-22 on Sunday.
"Love ya brotha ✊ @killatrav," Lefkoe commented underneath the post previewing Kelce's latest podcast episode.

"It just wasn't our day. Couldn't find a lick of momentum," Kelce said. "I'm kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field, trying to do something more than what I asked to do during plays. I wasn't the best leader that I could be in motivating my guys and keeping my guys calm, cool and collected. I put a lot of that on myself, as, you know, the guy that's been in the building for 12 years and seen a lot of football and actually seen a situation just like this in the Super Bowl."
Kelce added that he felt bad being unable to play at his best in the season's most important game.
"It's a hard reality, man," Kelce said. "I love my teammates. I love my coaches. Chiefs Kingdom, I'm sorry for how it ended. F---, I have a beautiful life, man. I have loved ones. I have the most amazing family in the world that supports me in everything that I do, and they were all there cheering me on and hoping for the best on Sunday, man."
Travis Kelce showed appreciation for Shaquille O'Neal and Adam Lefkoe once they started a joint podcast
Travis Kelce and Shaquille O'Neal's podcast co-host Adam Lefkoe have seemingly had a long-running relationship. Last year, after Jason Kelce appeared on an episode of "The Big Podcast," Travis explained how much of a fan of the four-time NBA champion and Lefkoe he was.
"F**k that guy’s electric man. He is the best. Dude as soon as I found out him and Lefkoe were doing a podcast I immediately hit the follow button," Travis said.
Both duos are at the top of their game, and their respect for each other is huge.
