KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce isn't backing down from his critical postgame comments about the officiating -- and particularly referee Carl Cheffers -- after last week’s playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I stand by my statement," Kelce said in a guest appearance on the set of ESPN’s NFL Countdown before Sunday’s conference championship games. “If the NFL wants my money, they can have it."
Then, in a moment Kelce was no doubt waiting for since being booked for the show, he pulled out his checkbook.
