  "account": "Travis Kelce and his brother Patrick Mahomes were caught using profane language during a pregame pep talk before the Chiefs-Broncos game on Monday night. Jason Kelce, Travis's older brother, jokingly scolded his brother for \"cussing so much\" during the Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN, which caught the attention of the host, Scott Van Pelt. Van Pelt advised Kelce to \"get the bleep button out!\" and expressed surprise at his own cursing on live television over his 35-year career, stating that he had \"only done it once, and it was an accident.\"\n\nVan Pelt also noted that he was amazed at the frequency of cursing during live broadcasts. During the pep talk, Mahomes was seen kissing his wife, Brittany Mahomes, before heading out to the field. Travis Kelce later apologized for using profanity during an interview with ESPN's Chris Berman, stating, \"I still think I can compete at a high level\" and expressing his love for the game.",
