00:00 Let's talk about Travis Kelsey. He passed Jerry Rice for most postseason receptions.
00:06 Do you think it's realistic that he might retire after this season?
00:10 Let's take those in reverse order. First of all, he's 34. That's young.
00:16 It's pretty young.
00:16 It feels like he's 84 because he's been leading the league in receptions and every time you turn on football
00:21 on a Sunday for the last 15 years, there's Kelsey catching him. But 34 is relatively young. Now,
00:29 he's also, imagine if they win the Super Bowl, he'll have a couple rings.
00:33 He'll have, like you said, a postseason record. What would be left for him to accomplish?
00:38 Maybe he'll just be a roadie on Taylor Swift's tour.
00:41 Be a key grip. This podcast is doing pretty well. Oh, yeah, this podcast is amazing.
00:46 So he's got a lot of reasons to say I'd rather not be hit on Sundays, but he's still at the peak of his powers.
00:52 I mean, 34, he's still in his prime.
00:53 So he could be one of those high-profile athletes that decides on his own terms. All right, I'm relatively healthy still.
01:01 I want to step away from the game before I get injured or before my body deteriorates.
01:05 Which is very rare that they leave like a year
01:08 sooner than they should. It's usually two or three years after and it's really sad. And I'm joking aside,
01:14 maybe some perspective with Taylor Swift if they're really a long-term thing.
01:18 And she's like, you know, Traps, you're 34, you're in good health. Walk away from this most violent game on earth.
01:24 Why you still have your health and we don't worry about money. We're set for life and come have some fun with me.
01:30 That's probably a pretty tempting offer.
01:32 As far as his
01:36 playoff record, I put a giant asterisk by this because I grew up, well I'm dating myself, in an NFL
01:44 where Roger Stolvak won the Super Bowl MVP, Super Bowl VI, throwing 12 passes.
01:48 119 yards passed. That just is a different sport now.
01:52 And back then there were three divisions, East, West, and Central. Look it up kids. And it was one wild-card team.
01:59 So there were two playoff games. Now there's Super Wild Card Weekend. So there's much more passing, much more playoff games.
02:07 So it's kind of skewed to, you know, try to
02:11 compare Travis Kelsey with Mike Ditka or, you know,
02:14 tight ends of the past. Even Jerry Rice in his day, he won as many playoff games. So it's amazing.
02:21 He has that record, but it's, you know, it's the record.
02:23 It is exciting, you cannot deny, to watch Mahomes with Kelsey.
02:27 It doesn't take away the fact that you cannot stop them. Doesn't matter what era they're in, you can't stop them.
