It’s f—ing the first Sunday of the NFL season, » the Chiefs star said. « You think I was going to miss a 1 o’clock start?

He said he was pulling for American Taylor Fritz, but he was beaten by Jannik Sinner. »It’s very quiet, and you know us, when it’s very quiet we want to say something or do something. I’ve never been a quiet person, I’ve always been the kid at the back of the class when it gets quiet, saying something smart or funny, or trying to get a rise out of someone, » Kelce said. »The entire time I wanted to heckle the Italian Sinner, the No 1 player in the world and really try and get into his head and help my guy Fritzy out, give him a home court advantage here in America, but I played it cool, I played it respectful, knowing that’s kind of frowned upon. »I’m sure if I started heckling him like the guy in ‘Happy Gilmore,’ screaming ‘jacka–‘ – I would have been asked to leave pretty quick. »Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
