New Heights·Sports & Sports AnalysisJim Nantz Thought Travis Was Going to Drop an F BOMB
TL;DR
Jim Nantz nearly panicked on live CBS television when Travis Kelce began quoting Beastie Boys, fearing the word 'party' would come out as an F-bomb.
Key Points
- 1.Jim Nantz feared a live F-bomb on CBS during an AFC Championship celebration. With a producer rushing him through the victory platform interview, Kelce launched into 'Fight for Your Right to Party,' and Nantz was terrified the word 'party' would be dropped as an expletive on national television.
- 2.Nantz called seven Super Bowls, including the Las Vegas game where he coined 'Jackpot, Kansas City.' The spontaneous call came when Mecole Hardman caught the winning overtime touchdown, and Nantz also let Travis Kelce sing 'Viva Las Vegas' run a bit too long on the victory platform.
- 3.Kelce has a history of mic-drop moments that caught Nantz off guard, including quoting The Rock. After a Cincinnati win, Kelce called the opposing mayor a 'jabroni' — a late-90s wrestling reference Nantz didn't recognize — and Kelce jokes he's known as the 'worst influence' due to his on-stage insubordination.
