We're the absolute greatest, and we're so incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about them every single day.

0:19.4

We got basketball, we got football, we got an NFLPA executive chairman, director, super duper. There's going to be a lot

0:29.2

of journalism done today. There's going to be a lot of celebration of sport today. And there's

0:32.9

going to be a lot of talking about, wow, Travis Kelsey has a brand new deal with the Kings

0:36.7

Street. Was there any doubt that he was coming back potentially? Because where he is had to lot of talking about, wow, Travis Kelsey has a brand new deal with the Kingsgate.

0:42.1

Was there any doubt that he was coming back, potentially, because where he is at the stage of his career, goat conversations, over 100 plus million dollars earned as a football player,

0:48.5

multiple times Super Bowl champion. We'll go down as a guy who helped football as a whole.

0:53.2

And as we know, significant other

0:54.9

most famous person on Earth who's also a self-made billionaire and one of the most talented

1:00.2

people of all time. Travis's podcast, great. We assume movies will be phenomenal. He has

1:05.4

incredible moxie. The guy could go on to take on and do anything in the world. The fact that

1:10.6

he's coming back to play football again makes me excited. And the fact that last year at the end of the season, he was playing a meaningless games in front of 2,000 people. Patrick Mahomes wasn't playing. He was hurt, obviously. He was out. Tennessee Chiefs were out of playoff contention. And this old ass who's already certified, already everything we just listed off, already a first bout Hall of Famer, maybe. Yeah. Maybe. He just don't know anymore. Maybe we don't know with the whole Hall of Fame thing how it's going to go. He was playing in meaningless games at the end of the season, giving it as all. It's like, wait, is this a victory lap for this guy for the last time he puts on the pads? Or is this a reminder of what football was like at the beginning of his time at Kansas City before they turn that place into an absolute juggernaut, before they turn that place into a dynasty? And is he hungry for one final run? Is he still addicted to the confetti? Is the girl that he's with, the most powerful, most famous, maybe one of the most talented people in the history, whenever they go through the entire thing of what she's been able to accomplish? Is she motivating him to continue to go? He said, yes, that is 100% the case. And now we have the salary cap gymnastics that the Kansas city chiefs are going to do to keep him around and also give him another nice paycheck, which he certainly has earned and deserved. $12 million basically is guaranteed. It's a three-year deal with two years of salary cap gymnastics on the back end of that. Souther cap gymnastics means we're going to give you this money now, and then we're going to utilize the amount of years. The contract is to spread out the cap it, you see? This is called getting a little gym nasty with it.

2:35.0

And a lot of salary cap experts around the league have been able to do this and their teams have certainly prospered. The Kansas City Chiefs with Veach, certainly one of them. So it's a three-year deal, big money on the back end. That is just to eliminate the salary cap hit for each season. And they have a button that they're going to be able to end this contract, we after this season but on that note congrats to them getting a deal done and congrats to football
