Reality TV star West Wilson comments on the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line
Reality TV star West Wilson comments on the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Bravo TV's Summer House star West Wilson about his partnership with Captain Morgan Sliced and his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs' first-round draft pick Josh Simmons. "Not to freak anyone out, I'm probably not looking too well, so I did a Pro-Am in the Fall, and the first hole of the day, everything was probably at zero to one," said Wilson, rating his golf skills from 1 to 10. "I want to say by the end of the day, I don't want to be dramatic, but I think I climbed to a three and a half, maybe four. There was a full 18 (holes), though. So I had a whole day to really work on my s***, and I'm getting back, so maybe by the end of summer, (a) six?, we'll see what happens." Wilson is teaming up with Captain Morgan Sliced to launch Play the Slice—a campaign about turning golf's imperfect moments into something worth celebrating. He's bringing the crew vibes on and off the course, leading content all summer, and showing that a slice and a Sliced go hand in hand. Kansas City selected Ohio State left tackle Josh Simmons in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, hoping to solidify the starter's spot that saw multiple players from Wanya Morris, Kingsley Suamataia, and D.J. Humphries, to All-Pro guard Joe Thuney last season. "They've (Chiefs) been playing, and it's been a revolving door at left tackle. They've been trying. The problem with being good is you'll never get a top 10 (pick)," said Wilson, "They said (Josh) Simmons was supposed to be, but if he hadn't gotten hurt, he would have been the number one left tackle. Hope that it's kind of like a steal, similar to a Trey Smith situation, where health concerns don't get him drafted where he should go, and then he's a gem. So fingers crossed."

Bravo TV star West Wilson reflects on growing up a Kansas City Chiefs fan
Bravo TV star West Wilson reflects on growing up a Kansas City Chiefs fan This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Bravo TV's Summer House star West Wilson about his partnership with Captain Morgan Sliced, growing up, and attending Kansas City Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium. "I was very much born into it. My dad's family is from Western Missouri, so my dad's from a small town called Waverly in Missouri. It's about 40 minutes east of Kansas City. But yeah, my dad took me to Arrowhead when I was two or three, I've been going to Arrowhead since I can remember," said Wilson, "Going to 'Gates Bar-B-Q' before games with my dad and my brother. I don't even remember my first Chiefs memory, to be honest, but I was just kind of like the classic little boy who grew up with his dad and his uncles watching Chiefs games and yelling at the TV. But the Chiefs didn't win a playoff game until I was in college. The Chiefs were not good; It's wild that we're in a place now where people ask me, Are you bandwagon or new? And I'm just like, Dude, you guys are all insane. The Chiefs had fans before Patrick Mahomes, which I think speaks more to it. We went because Arrowhead is the best place ever. There is barbecue before games, and my family is from there, so I will always show love." Wilson is teaming up with Captain Morgan Sliced to launch Play the Slice, a campaign about turning golf's imperfect moments into something worth celebrating. He's bringing the crew vibes on and off the course, leading content all summer, and showing that a slice and a Slice go hand in hand. He continues to bring those same vibes, attending Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium. "There's no, like, my favorite place to be ever is Arrowhead, the current AFC Championship game. We're lucky, we've had a lot of them recently. But I get goosebumps walking into the stadium, and just the energy. Arrowhead is—again, I'm biased—but you can't be anywhere better. But I think I fully embraced the villain role this past year," said Wilson. "I hated the (New England) Patriots in high school and college. So like, I get it to a degree. I just started getting so much s*** for being a Chiefs fan that if they win this game, I will post a picture with my middle finger that says, 'womp, womp' on it, and people can deal with it and be upset. In retrospect, I probably had about 30 comments on that post after the Super Bowl was over from people going back to troll. Arrowhead is an experience; I hope anyone gets to experience it. I've been lucky to have 20 of them in the last five years, but I love it."
