One recent murmur annoyed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end so much that he had to respond.
Not as Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend.
But as a 35-year-old man who was having his professional honor questioned in public.
“I ain’t scared of f***ing nobody,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast.
What made the future Hall of Famer so furious?
The social media-driven theory that Andy Reid rested the Chiefs starters in Week 18 to make sure that the defending Super Bowl champions didn’t have to worry about facing the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs.
“I wanted them in the f***ing playoffs,” Kelce said.
“I want to slay every dragon one by one, like Mortal Kombat.
“I don’t even want this to be like, we play the lowest seed. Just give me the best teams.”
Fans loved seeing the fiery Kelce unleash his inner passion for the world to see.

“This is why Travis Kelce is the man!” one fan tweeted.
“Hahaha love it!!” a second fan posted. “Perfect response!!!”
“They pissed him off for the playoffs beware,” a third fan wrote.
“Fighting dragons in a parking lot would make a great song lyric, just saying,” a fourth fan said.
The Chiefs were blanked 38-0 by Denver in Week 18, which sent rookie quarterback Bo Nix and his Broncos to the playoffs.
Cincy finished with five straight wins and a 9-8 record.
But since Joe Burrow‘s Bengals started 4-8, every win counted and they fell short of the playoffs.
Kelce made it clear that he wanted to see Cincinnati in the postseason.
He was also ready to put the Bengals back in their place.
“AFC, NFC, give me all of them, Mortal Kombat style,” Kelce said.
“I’ll go through every f***ing one of them just giving them my best f***ing effort. I ain’t scared of a single soul, man.”
