Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce rarely holds back on his opinions and he shares plenty of them on his New Heights podcast. He also often goes to bat for fellow tight ends.

The latest example came when he spoke of Greg Olsen, the former NFL tight end-turned-broadcaster who was recently let go by Fox Sports. His replacement? Some cat named Tom Brady.

"I love my guy Greg Olsen. They kinda did him dirty over there at Fox," Kelce said on his podcast. "But I mean, it's Tom Brady, what can you do? Sometimes you just gotta do your thing. And Greg does a f-king tremendous job."

Brady is expected to begin his turn as an in-game analyst for Fox when the Dallas Cowboys visit the Cleveland Browns on the season's opening Sunday on Sept 8.

Amazing," Brady said of calling a Dallas game, via NFL.com. "Obviously, having the Cowboys on is a big draw as America's Team.

"... I've obviously been going against them for a long time now. Now I get to tell everyone how great they are."

Brady should like the Cowboys — as he never lost to them. He lost once to the Browns, going a combined 7-1 against those two opponents.

As for Olsen, Jason Kelce shared his brother's sentiments.

"I try not to be biased against the commentators and the color guys, but I think Greg is phenomenal at it," Jason Kelce said. "You can tell he makes it a point to know what he is really talking about. ... I think he's got a beautiful blend of knowledge and experience to unleash when he calls games. It's a joy to watch Greg call games or listen to it."

Travis Kelce has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs, including one over his now-retired brother and the Philadelphia Eagles.
