Travis Kelce didn’t mince words when he offered his thoughts on analyst Greg Olsen being pushed aside at Fox Sports for Tom Brady.
The Kansas City Chiefs player weighed in on the new lineup while speaking to his brother, Jason Kelce, on Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights podcast.
‘I love my guy Greg Olsen. They kinda did him dirty over there at Fox,’ Travis said.
‘But I mean, it’s Tom Brady, what can you do? Sometimes you just gotta do your thing. And Greg does a f**king tremendous job.’
The seven-time Super Bowl champ, who will call his first game in Week 1 when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Cleveland Browns, inked a $375m deal over 10 years with the network.

Olsen, for his part, signed with Fox Sports in 2021 and earned $10m per year as the lead analyst.
The former tight end also counts Travis a close friend, having founded an event called Tight End University together.
‘That’s my mother f**king dog,’ Travis said in reference to the former Bears player.
However, he also thinks the former Patriots quarterback will be a good fit for the network.

‘Fantastic, because he’s f**king Tom Brady,’ the Kansas City star said.
‘He’s going to do f**king great. He’s the greatest quarterback of all time. He’s going to be able to share his insight, what he thinks about the game. He’s going to be sharing what was going on in his head while he was playing. … I can’t f**king wait for Tom Brady to call games and he’s gonna kill it.’
Jason, who is set to join ESPN as a pundit after announcing his retirement earlier this year, gushed over Olsen’s style of commentary.
‘I try not to be biased against the commentators and the color guys, but I think Greg is phenomenal at it,’ Jason said.
‘You can tell he makes it a point to know what he is really talking about. … I think he’s got a beautiful blend of knowledge and experience to unleash when he calls games. It’s a joy to watch Greg call games or listen to it.’
