Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has predicted the Kansas City Chiefs’ historic dynasty may be over following Travis Kelce’s increased media presence ahead of the 2025 season. Portnoy’s comment comes after Kelce has been in the spotlight with a recently announced podcast featuring Taylor Swift and a feature in GQ Magazine. He claimed that the Chiefs’ so-called dynasty is ‘cooked,’ with his post highlighting the potential impact of Kelce’s off-field activities on the team’s performance.
The Chiefs’ head coach, Andy Reid, defended the team’s handling of close games, stating that they have ‘winners’ who ‘figured it out.’ Meanwhile, Kelce himself acknowledged that his increased focus on entertainment ventures may have affected his on-field productivity. ‘I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up,’ he admitted in his GQ interview.
Portnoy’s prediction has sparked a broader discussion about the Chiefs’ future, with both their performance and public image under scrutiny. As the 2025 season approaches, fans and analysts are watching closely to see whether the team can reclaim their dominance or if the dynasty is indeed coming to an end.
