When the NFL announced it was replacing the traditional chain gang with Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology for measuring first downs, it sounded like a logical leap into the future. But leave it to Travis and Jason Kelce to call out what others were thinking-and say it out loud, uncensored.
On a recent episode of their hit podcast New Heights, the brothers didn’t just question the tech-they questioned the branding. While fans have long joked about the NFL being scripted, the Kelces are suggesting that the script may now come with a Sony logo.
Travis Kelce can’t stop smiling at the thought of having children with Taylor Swift.
“I think it’s just a big Sony endorsement,”Travis said bluntly. “Everybody’s gonna be talking about the Sony Hawk-Eye virtual measurement system… this is just a big plug for Sony.”
Jason didn’t hold back either. In fact, he took it even further.
It’s not a conspiracy – It’s capitalism
“You’re 1000 percent right,”Jason said.“There’s no fing way it would be called the Sony Hawk-Eye system unless Sony paid out the ass.” His main gripe isn’t with the use of technology itself-it’s with how the league is marketing it.“Just say it’s a virtual measuring system. Don’t fing sell me Sony.”
For context, Hawk-Eye tech is nothing new to sports. It’s been used in tennis, soccer, and even cricket to make razor-thin calls with precision. But this is the first time the NFL is openly attaching a brand name to an in-game decision-making system. That’s what makes the Kelces raise their eyebrows.
Jason, who recently retired from the NFL, said he doesn’t mind a little human error in football. “That’s part of what makes the game great,” he said. “But this just feels like a business deal more than a gameplay decision.”
The controversy is still simmering from a Bills-Chiefs matchup last season where two Josh Allen runs were controversially ruled short of the first down-despite replays suggesting otherwise. The timing of this technology rollout, right after that drama, hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans.
And while the move may eventually cut down on those high-stakes officiating errors, the Kelces’ take reflects a growing skepticism about how corporate money shapes the game behind the scenes. As for Travis? He ended the rant with a smirk: “Sorry, NFL, didn’t mean to blow your cover.”

Shedeur Sanders reacts to getting picked by Browns: ‘Thank you for giving me a chance’
Getty Images Shedeur Sanders continued to wait for his name to be called well into Day 3 of the NFL Draft.

For the power-starved Blue Jays, there’s another path to the postseason
NEW YORK — Home runs plaster over imperfections.The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers sit tied for baseball’s lead in dingers, with 41 each. The Yankees have three starters in the rotation with an ERA above 4.75. The Dodgers have already used nine different starting pitchers in 26 games. Both teams are still on pace to surpass 93 wins — rotation injuries rendered irrelevant with constant blasts to the bleachers.AdvertisementThe 2025 Toronto Blue Jays don’t have that luxury, hitting just 14 homers in 26 games, second-fewest in MLB.
