Travis Kelce hilariously ripped for his old tweets at New Heights live – as a spelling bee asks contestant to spell the world ‘squirrel’ after Chiefs star’s infamous ‘squirle’ tweet in 2011

Travis Kelce was hilariously ripped during he and older brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights live show on Thursday night in Ohio during a spelling bee, asking contestants to guess words Travis misspelled himself on social media. 

As part of the extravaganza’s ‘The Great Lombaby Games’, pitting an athletic team against an academic team, a Cincinnati student-athlete had to spell squirrel, correctly, to win that round for his team. 

Up stepped Jizzle James, son of former NFL running back Edgerrin James, who spelled the word correctly to give the athletic team the win. 

‘I just gave a squirle a piece of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy,’ Kelce’s original tweet from 2011 said. 

Another part of the competition before the live episode of the podcast were members of each team tossing Skyline Chili on each other.  

Kelce has admitted to using Twitter like a diary long before he became uber-famous in the NFL

He spoke most about his now infamous tweet where he was amazed by a squirrel eating bread

James opted for basketball, unlike his father, who played college football for Miami before an 11-year NFL career.  

The younger James was one of only two Bearcats to appear in every game last season for Cincinnati’s basketball team.  

James was also a four-star recruit in the Class of 2023, ranked as the No 12 point guard nationally in his class, per the 247Sports composite.  

After James spelled the word squirrel correctly, Jason Kelce hopped off the stage and gave him a hug. 

James did not spell the word inhibition correctly during another attempt.
