Both Norah O’Donnell and Nancy Cordes chimed in about Thursday night’s game against the Bears, but King was unrelenting.
“I know he has a game, but that doesn’t mean he’s playing,” she said.
King did, however, admit that the rumor could be “part of the ‘keep hope alive’ plan.”
While Kelce did not appear at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday night, he also did not play in the final preseason game.
Additionally, while the NFL schedule may have thrown a wrench in Kelce’s reported intentions to appear, the DNC also threw a wrench into Chiefs fans’ TV viewing plans.
The Kansas City Star reported Thursday that the broadcast in the area was set to air on KMCI instead of the usual KSHB. However, the DNC would be airing on TV instead of football.
NFL Network was also airing the game, but due to blackout restrictions, fans in Kansas City would not be able to stream the game there.
