Bill Simmons, founder of The Ringer and host of The Bill Simmons Podcast, talked about the song on his show on October 13.

Simmons said, “It was a very controversial song called ‘Wood,’ which people thought was about Travis Kelce’s healthy manhood.”

Bill Simmons shared that while watching the Kansas City Chiefs’ Sunday Night Football game against the Detroit Lions, he and his friends kept jokingly calling Kelce “Wood.” He said, “We were calling him Wood the whole game. It was very enjoyable. We kept saying, ‘Mahomes, get it to Wood!’ This should be his nickname.”He laughed as he added, “She wrote this whole gushing love song about his sexual prowess. He should just be Travis ‘Wood’ Kelce.

You see why Taylor’s smiling, Wood’s getting it done.” Simmons’ remarks quickly became a topic of conversation online, though the player himself has stayed quiet about it.
