Quotes & moments
Jason Kelce notes that 1 in 5 World Cup elimination-round games are decided by penalty kicks, making it a surprisingly common tiebreaker.
Jason Kelce explains that saving 2 penalty kicks in a shootout puts a goalkeeper's team's chances of winning through the roof.
Travis Kelce was announced as a new minority local investor in the Cleveland Guardians MLB team.
Steelers backup edge rusher Nick Herbig became the highest-paid NFL player who isn't a starter in league history, reportedly worth around $100 million.
Zach Ertz holds the Philadelphia Eagles franchise record for most receptions in a single season and has the most career receptions of any Eagle.
Jason Kelce has four daughters and bonded with Prince William over the shared experience of raising girls.
In his rookie season, Caleb Williams set the Bears franchise record for most passing yards in a single season.
Jackass is officially 25 years old in 2026 and is releasing what is billed as its final film, Jackass: Best and Last.
Nate Bargatze won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.
The episode was recorded in the context of the US celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2026, coinciding with hosting the FIFA World Cup.
Jason Kelce trained as a soccer goalkeeper with Tim Howard at St. Joseph's University, successfully saving at least one penalty kick.
Caleb Williams' Madden NFL 27 overall rating is 90, which Jason Kelce called 'low' for a cover athlete.
Planet Fitness has over 2,900 locations across the country, with most clubs open 24 hours.
Travis Kelce's Madden NFL 27 rating was revealed as 91, still in the 90s heading into what is expected to be his 14th NFL season.
Kittle and Jason Kelce agree: the peak performance zone isn't calm focus — it's controlled rage combined with flow state. Aaron Donald lives there permanently. Jason Kelce texted an old teammate years later to admit he was right about it.
Jets Jake named Mac Jones his Dude of the Week at Tight End U. Jones was throwing to every tight end with infectious energy, having the time of his life. The Alabama cigar photo finally makes complete sense.
In his first red zone period at 49ers OTAs, Mike Evans scored roughly five touchdowns. Kittle calls him the most savvy veteran wide receiver the team has had since Emmanuel Sanders in 2019. Also: he's a hardcore Harry Potter trivia addict.
Kittle says the 49ers' offense would not survive without Juice. Juszczyk doesn't just run routes — he fixes blown assignments, adjusts to missed blocks, and solves timing issues with Purdy's cadence mid-play. Players who understand football see a generational ball player.
The tight end room is creeping up in NFL pay, but number-three wide receivers catching 30 balls a season are still getting over $20 million while blocking tight ends playing 50 snaps a game earn a fraction of that. Kittle says the gap makes no sense.
Under Kirk Ferentz, every tight end who has started at Iowa has made at least an NFL practice squad. Kittle uses that stat as his entire recruiting pitch. It isn't about national championships — it's about getting through the door.
Kittle saved a photo of 49ers linebacker Gary Plummer wearing a 'F*ck Dallas' shirt on his phone for roughly nine years before finally wearing one himself. He bought the whole tight end room one — and was the only person who wore it. It's now in his locker every day.
At a Browns joint practice, Joe Patonii pointed out a shirtless Myles Garrett and asked Jason Kelce if he could believe they were the same species. Kelce called Garrett the closest to an alien he's ever seen play the game. Kittle's game plan: just hope he doesn't ruin the whole game.
Interns Jet's Jake and Intern Brandon described Tight End U as watching a golden retriever beach day — every NFL tight end running on pure joy, joy, and ball. They tried drills, watched Travis teach route-running intricacies, and nearly missed Taylor Swift perform.
Kittle and Jason Kelce dive into the tactical evolution behind tight-end heavy offenses. When you have a tight end who can split wide, align in-line, and work out of the backfield, defenses can't prepare for any single personnel package — it's the same multiplicity that made 3-4 linebackers so hard to stop.
Tight End U started as Kittle inviting retiring Greg Olsen to Nashville to watch film with 7 to 10 tight ends he was already training with. What was planned as a 20-person summit exploded to 50-60 guys as word spread. Now it's an annual institution.
Kittle is running at 100% body weight at 9 mph on an anti-gravity treadmill and has returned to cleats — all ahead of schedule. He asked his surgeon post-op if he could golf in March. The answer was yes, and he delivered six rounds in four days.
In his rookie year OTAs, Kittle had been to only 3 Joe Staley interactions when the All-Pro tackle kicked open his bathroom stall mid-pee and demanded to share. Kittle's response: 'I'll move over, Mr. Joe Staley.' He took it as a sign Staley liked him.
The US women's team's dominance traces back to early federation investment starting around 1985, before any other country committed resources to women's soccer. Pioneers like Michelle Akers and Mia Hamm built a dream that Julie's generation could actually get paid to live.
A fan in a Vancouver airport showed Kittle his bet slip from National Tight End Day: $500 down, $35,000 won after Kittle scored three touchdowns against the Cowboys. Kittle's reward? One beer. He called it even.
