In the latest episode of the Kelce brothers’ popular podcast, NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce sparked a new wave of fan curiosity with their light-hearted banter about professional sports teams. This time, Jason didn’t hold back, calling out what he considers one of the “stupidest” team names in all of professional sports, leaving fans buzzing with guesses and opinions about which team he was referring to.
Jason, the star center for the Philadelphia Eagles, has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind, and this podcast episode was no exception. The exchange began when Travis, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, asked his brother if there were any team names that he found ridiculous. Without missing a beat, Jason responded with humor and some blunt honesty that had listeners laughing – and guessing.
“Man, there are definitely some bad ones out there,” Jason said, his voice filled with playful disdain. “Some of these team names just make no sense. You hear them, and you’re like, ‘What were they thinking?’ It’s like they just threw a bunch of random words together and called it a day.”
Jason continued, teasing that he had one specific team in mind that particularly bothered him, but he initially held back from naming the team outright. “I’m not gonna say it yet, but there’s one that’s just so dumb, it’s like… who came up with that?”
Fans immediately took to social media to share their theories about which team Jason was referring to, with suggestions ranging from NBA franchises to Major League Baseball teams. Some believed he was talking about the Cleveland Browns, whose name has long been the subject of mockery. Others thought he might have been targeting a hockey team, like the Anaheim Ducks or the Minnesota Wild, both of which have been criticized for their unconventional names in the past.
After a few more minutes of teasing, Travis, always the instigator, pushed his brother to reveal the team in question. “Come on, man, just tell everyone. Who are you calling out?” he laughed.
Jason finally gave in, but with a twist. “Alright, alright,” he chuckled, “I think the Utah Jazz is a pretty ridiculous name. I mean, come on, Jazz in Utah? It just doesn’t make sense! There’s no jazz scene in Utah. They should have left that name in New Orleans!”
The revelation set social media ablaze, with fans of the Utah Jazz and other sports teams jumping into the conversation. Many fans agreed with Jason’s point, acknowledging the oddity of a team based in Salt Lake City retaining a name so tied to New Orleans’ vibrant jazz music history, where the team originally played before relocating in 1979.
Still, as with most things involving the Kelce brothers, the comments were all in good fun. Jason emphasized that he meant no harm and was simply poking fun at the history of team names. “Look, I love the Jazz, I respect them as a franchise, but come on, we all know that name doesn’t really fit the city. I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking,” Jason said, trying to keep the tone light.
Fans of both football and basketball loved the playful exchange, and many took to Twitter to thank the Kelce brothers for yet another entertaining podcast episode. “Jason Kelce just said what we’ve all been thinking for years. The Utah Jazz is a weird name, but hey, at least it’s memorable,” one fan tweeted.
Others found the entire segment hilarious and appreciated Jason’s honesty. “Only Jason Kelce could call out an entire franchise and have it be funny instead of mean,” another fan commented.
The episode has further solidified Jason and Travis Kelce as two of the most relatable and entertaining personalities in sports. Their willingness to engage in casual, humorous banter continues to endear them to fans, and it’s no surprise that their podcast remains a hit.
Whether you agree with Jason’s take on team names or not, one thing is certain: when the Kelce brothers are talking, people are listening. And with the duo’s infectious personalities, there’s no doubt fans will keep tuning in to see what they’ll say next.
