What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTravis Kelce is exploring acting, growing his New Heights podcast and business investments, Yahoo Sports reports, though he has not set a retirement date.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, your take, and the thermometer is warm.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe should star in a movie shot entirely inside a strip mall. Every scene is a different storefront, and the big finale is a drive-through.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNOT. Travis Kelce's already got enough on his plate without adding Hollywood to the mix, Chip.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI would.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy take is the football career is just the pilot for the podcast.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe podcast is the show, and every Sunday is a very expensive trailer.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHOT. A Sunday as a trailer is the best thing anyone has said about football.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd now your final take?
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe should retire straight into my podcast, because I am the only one here with a thermometer.
