Shaq unloads on Chiefs over Travis Kelce gameplan in Super Bowl dud
NY Post
Shaquille O’Neal has a bone to pick with the Chiefs.
The Super Bowl-winning franchise drew the ire of the NBA icon Wednesday when he appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, and questioned the Chiefs’ plan in utilizing their star tight end against the Eagles in February’s lopsided 44-20 championship loss.
“I have a question, how come they didn’t use you a lot in the Super Bowl?” Shaq asked Travis. “I know you’re f–king pissed. I don’t want to get you in trouble.”
Kelce, who was all but invisible in the blowout Super Bowl 2025 defeat with four catches for 39 yards, replied, “Nah, man, you already know we were trying to use all the pieces, man.”
O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion, suggested the Chiefs should have looked to the pieces that helped win them their recent titles, three of which came with Kelce, 35, on the roster.
“I need the pieces that helped us win the first f–king Super Bowl, don’t be trying to do the new s–t,” he said. “I don’t wanna get you in trouble, but I wasn’t happy about that.”

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
