Travis Kelce and the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0outlasted the Houston Texans in a sloppy Divisional Round weekend clash to reach their seventh straight AFC Championship. The back-to-back Super Bowl champions will face the archrival Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, with a trip to Super Bowl 59 on the line.<\/p>\n

The elder Kelce brother retired last year following an illustrious 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jason, who now works as an NFL analyst for ESPN, got to tell a hysterical tale before the network\u2019s broadcast of the Chiefs-Texans game.<\/p>\n

Speaking during warmups, Jason\u00a0revealed\u00a0<\/a>that when they were kids, Travis Kelce went around to tell the neighborhood block that he was \u201cCharles Barkley<\/a>.\u201d And that nickname would stick with the future Hall of Famer during his youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the crazy guy, I think we both were pretty reckless whenever the snow was falling in Cleveland. He also told the entire block his name was Charles, because his favorite basketball player was Charles Barkley.<\/p>\n

We found out at a block party \u2019cause all the other parents were like \u2018There goes Charles!\u2019 That\u2019s the kind of kid Travis was, he was always living up to all his sports idols, for sure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
