"It's kind of extraordinary" - Brad Pitt gets real about being die-hard Chiefs fan over past decade

The Kansas City Chiefs have solidified themselves as one of the most successful franchises of the modern era. Under head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, they have won three Super Bowl championships. The Chiefs were on track to three-peat the Lombardi Trophy last season. Unfortunately, the dream was crushed by the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX.

On Wednesday, Hollywood star Brad Pitt made an appearance on Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce's podcast 'New Heights.' Pitt has grown up being a die-hard fan of the AFC West team since his childhood. The actor shared his experience of being a fan of the team over the past 10 years and the success they've enjoyed on the field.

"You feel this sense of pride instead of this sense of like, 'Oh, life's always against us.' Pitt said. "It's just kind of extraordinary the way we live through our teams, through you guys and what it means to us." (TS-1:18:45)

Brad Pitt also confessed that he's never been to Arrowhead Stadium to watch the action live from the sidelines. Travis Kelce then offered to take him to a Chiefs game this upcoming season. The team also shared a five-word message on the clip of Brad Pitt's interview on social media.

"Brad Pitt certified Chiefs fan," the team wrote.

Patrick Mahomes opens up about expectations from Travis Kelce after Chiefs' 2024 season

Travis Kelce did not have the best showcase during Super Bowl LIX. The tight end could only muster 39 receiving yards with four catches to his name. This led to speculations about him being past his prime and rumors about potential retirement.

However, Travis Kelce has decided to return for another season. Last month, after mandatory minicamp, Patrick Mahomes opened up about his expectations from the TE while also highlighting his importance on the team.

"I expect Travis to be Travis man," Mahomes said. "I think more than anything it's the leadership that he brings to the building every single day and how he leads by example and how he leads vocally. It's a big impact on our football team, and so I expect him to play at a high level, and then even be a better leader." (TS- 0:15)

Travis Kelce is entering the final year of the two-year extension he signed with the team in April 2024. However, the TE is unsure whether he will decide to hang up his cleats after the upcoming season.
