Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, made a stop by the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast recently spoke out about the intense on-field moment he shared with retired NFL linebacker in his first season in the league. Kelce and Matthews were caught in a pretty nasty squabble, which caught the young tight end by surprise and shock.
Kelce spoke at length about what exactly went down between him and Matthews, which ended in the rookie tight end being flabbergasted by the senior player’s behavior. However, it seems like everything is alright between the two players, with Matthews himself responding to Kelce’s narration and remarking that they both are BFFs now.
“It was that 2000s that first year playing. So it wasn’t 13, it was 14, but it was like, my first couple games playing, and I’ve had like maybe 10 catches up to this point in my career. And I’m going into Lambeau, and I’m thinking, this is Lambo. This is my moment… I see Clay Matthew I’m just like, ‘tha’s f*****g Clay Matthews.’ And I’m chasing him down. I kind of give him a hit, and I’m like, Yeah, motherf*****. And he stops, squares out to me, says, ‘Don’t f*****g ever f*****g talk to me. I’ll f*****g kill you,’ or something, something along the lines, ‘I’ll f*****g kill you.’ And I was just like, couldn’t even say anything after that. I’m just like, dude, they’re just playing ball.” Travis Kelce spoke about his on-field squabble with Clay Matthews in the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast.
