Kansas City Chiefs fans are wondering whether tight end Travis Kelce plans to retire from the game, but if you listen to head coach Andy Reid, it seems Kelce isn't ready yet.

According to ESPN, Reid spoke with Kelce, and he thinks Kelce is leaning toward returning this year.

"There is communication," Reid said of his talks with Kelce. "That's the main thing. I've said this before: As long as there's communication, I'm good. That means people want to move forward. I think that's where Travis is."

Kelce had an off year for him with fewer than 900 yards receiving and 5 touchdowns. 

He’s told the team, however, that he plans to make a decision by March. 

"I'm not trying to put words in his mouth at all, and I try to give him some space here," Reid added. "He's been doing this a long time, and he can sort all that out as he goes forward. But we're proceeding with that."

One thing that may influence his decision is the return of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Kelce is thrilled to have him back.

"It's great," Kelce said on his podcast "New Heights. "I can't wait to see him back in the building. He's one of my favorite coaches of all time. I've had so many unbelievable growing moments under him as a player."

With everything that is going on with Rashee Rice, they need Kelce’s leadership on this team, leading the receiving corps.

Canada has a chance at revenge against the United States to close out the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, and the men’s Olympic hockey tournament is the perfect way to end the event.

The Canadians always have massive expectations when it comes to their national sport. However, the added pressure of winning a Winter Olympics gold medal has mounted after the women’s hockey team lost to the U.S. this week.

Now, Canada politician Doug Ford has upped the ante for his Ontario province before the gold medal match. On Friday, Ford approved a special exception for Canadian to buy alcohol starting at 6 a.m. ET.

This comes after the men’s Olympic hockey final is slated for 8:10 a.m. ET between the two North American foes. Both countries are hungry for the gold medal, especially following the drama in the women’s final.

“The entire country will be watching on Sunday morning as our men’s hockey team plays for Olympic gold. To help us all celebrate Team Canada, the province will be allowing bars and restaurants across the province to sell alcohol starting at 6:00 a.m. EST. Let’s all come together, support local businesses and cheer on Team Canada!” Ford shared with Canadians in a statement on social media.

Meanwhile, Canada has dealt with serious injuries heading into the gold medal game, including NHL legend Sidney Crosby. The Canadians still won their semifinal game, albeit in controversial fashion, without Crosby.

However, Team USA has hopes of winning its first Olympic hockey gold in the men’s event since the 1980 Lake Placid Games. The Americans have settled for silver medals in 2002 and 2010 with losses against Canada.

The U.S. has already set a record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics, but Team USA can add to that total on Sunday.
