Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce will be the first brothers to play on opposing Super Bowl teams.
An unnecessary roughness penalty on Cincinnati’s Joseph Ossai sets up a 45-yard field goal by Harrison Butker to lift the Chiefs into Super Bowl LVII.during a post-Super Bowl interview“My brother was a walk-on, I was a two-star. Our entire lives, man, it feels like for [Ed] that we never got enough [recognition] for who we are, and he’s got two kids that not only made it to the league but won two Super Bowls for him.
“My real name is ‘Kelss,’” he said on an episode of “Bussin’ With the Boys,” causing a minor uproar with NFL fans worried we had been mispronouncing the name for a decade.Technically speaking, that’s exactly what we had been doing — because that’s how they pronounce it.The Philadelphia Eagles are heading to the Super Bowl for the second time in six seasons after an injury to quarterback Brock Purdy derails the 49ers.
Both brothers ended up elaborating on the matter. Turns out, the proper pronunciation is “Kelss,” but Jason and Travis always have gone by “Kel-see” because of a change their father made earlier in his life. “My dad, at some point when he was working in the steel mills in Cleveland, Ohio, got tired of correcting everybody who was calling him ‘Kel-see,’” Jason told SportsRadio 94WIP in Philadelphia. “Apparently, the correct pronunciation, the standard pronunciation is ‘Kelss.’ That’s what the rest of the family goes by. So, my dad, out of pure laziness completely changed his last name. And now, I think we’re at the point where we’re both riding with ‘Ed Kel-see.
