In a new episode of the Green Light with Chris Long podcast released on Friday, Aug. 9, Long, 39, was joined by Jason, 36, and Brent Celek — all three of whom previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles. During their conversation, the host confessed that he’s long been a fan of Travis, 34. “I always liked your brother, but the reason I thought it solidified for me, what a good duty is like, he used to come to your games in the middle of the season. That’s love,” Long said.
“That’s like, that’s brother s—,” he added.
Jason responded by saying it wasn’t until Feb. 12, 2023, when they became the first brothers to ever play each other in the Super Bowl, that others really started paying attention to their bond. “It’s funny because like, obviously, we lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl two years ago,” Jason said. “Nobody for the first 11 years of my career cared that I went to Chiefs games and wore Chiefs gear.”
But that all changed when the siblings, separated by just under two years, battled it out on the field at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. “And then like after that, the next year they’re like, ‘Why are you wearing Chiefs gear?’ I’ve been doing this ever since my brother has been [in Kansas City],” Jason continued.
“I think we’ve always, you know, tried to support each other when we can. When you’re both are playing, it’s hard to find the time,” he added.
In a past episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, the brothers revealed that facing off at the Super Bowl had always been a life-long dream.
“It’s wild and kind of surreal,” Travis said at the time. “I feel like I’ve been getting asked this question for my entire career. ‘What would you feel if you played your brother in the Super Bowl?’ The entire time I’ve been like, ‘That’s been the goal.’ Now that it’s actually happening, it’s kind of sick. Now someone’s gotta send their brother home.”
During Friday’s conversation, which was released days ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony, Jason also revealed what sport he and Travis would excel at if they ever were to qualify for the Games.
“My brother and I have talked a lot about curling,” the retired football center confessed. “Curling is low impact.”
