The NFL schedule leaks have been coming in ahead of the full schedule release and one item on the Kansas City Chiefs' schedule has Travis Kelce unhappy.
On Wednesday's edition of the New Heights show with his brother Jason, Kelce said he's not looking forward to the Chiefs' home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. He pointed out that the game is most likely being played in Brazil, and he's wary of playing in what he expects will be extremely humid conditions.
"I'll be there, not to do a podcast. I'll be playing football in the (expletive) heat," Kelce complained.

Kelce explained that he already dislikes playing in humid places like Jacksonville in September and knows that it'll be "miserable" playing in Brazil, where the average temperatures will be in the 80s.
"There's just something about getting close to the equator, I don't want to put on a football uniform doing that," Kelce said. "I've been in Jacksonville in September, and that's (expletive) miserable."
But that doesn't mean he expects his team to be at any sort of disadvantage with the conditions. He pledged to get the win over the Chargers regardless.
"If it's hot and humid and kind of what I'm expecting, I'm gonna be miserable. But we're gonna find a way to get a win."
Jason Kelce pointed out that the field conditions might be a more serious issue than the weather. He noted that in last year's game where the Philadelphia Eagles played the Green Bay Packers, the field was "atrocious."
"The field was atrocious last year," Jason said. "It was noticeably bad; they were slipping all over the place. It was a bad field. Just letting you know, wear your seven studs."
On the other hand, the Eagles overcame an appearance in the Brazil game and went on to win the Super Bowl. Maybe the Chiefs can take solace in the fact that they can continue the trend of Brazil game winners going on to win the Super Bowl too.
Will the Chiefs wind up getting the Brazil game during the schedule release? If so, will they overcome the weather and field conditions to get the win?
