Can someone provide some context here? Why is he screaming at a coach?
Also side note: why is that even vaguely tolerable behavior for a professional sports player / role model?
He had one target for one yard in the first half. Travis Kelce is the best TE currently in the NFL and considered to be the third best ever to play the game.
Since all the receivers for the Chiefs are mid at best this year, he’s got some reason to be pissed. One of them, Kadarius Toney, was put on the gameday injury report for the AFCCG as being out for a leg injury and “personal reasons”. He then went public saying his leg was perfectly fine and he had no personal reasons to skip the game… Basically clarifying that the actual reason he wasn’t playing was because he’s ass.
But Travis Kelce was also being guarded by Fred Warner during the first half who is one of the best linebackers in NFL history.
It could be a diva moment, sure. But it’s the Super Bowl. Good teams know that you trust your studs. Romo would throw to Dez in double or triple team coverage, knowing he’d come down with it. Peyton Manning would chuck it at Marvin Harrison no matter who was on him. When someone is that good, all you’ve got to do is get the ball in their vicinity. Either they’ll come down with it or they’ll keep the defenders from getting it.
It’s still stupid to yell at your coach like that and physically push him, but Andy Reid was making a lot of boneheaded decisions in the first. They went into halftime down 10-3. They did change things up during the second half, though. Kelce ended up with 9 receptions for 93 yards while the Chiefs won 25-22 in OT.
I understood nothing. But I feel like you know what you are talking about. I heard about that Payton guy.
That sounds very unsportsmanlike. He is better than everyone so gets mad when he doesn’t always get to play?!? That’s not ok. That’s real loser behavior.
Maybe the coach knows better than the player though.
I agree on his decision. Yeah they were down a touchdown and extra point at the end of the first half, but the 49ers tired themselves out while Kelcey was just getting started.
Eh, sitting through Packers games during the McCarthy years, I wouldn’t assume that.
some of these are words, yes.
Yeah, I’m still confused too 😆
I believe in this case, Kelce missed the block on the player that caused the fumble, or maybe it was a different tight end.
This is it. The 2nd string tight end was in for that play and whiffed on the block that led to the fumble. Kelce was screaming “Leave me in, leave me in,” which is a fair point because he’s a monster blocker. I’d give the edge to Kittle for blocking, but still really good.
Kelce wasn’t in the game when that fumble happened, but he would have been in position to make that block. He was basically telling Reid to leave him in the game because it’s the Super Bowl and he’s the better player.
I still don’t understand why he was yelling though. What did the coach do that he was angry about?
edit: Oh, he wasn’t playing him? Yeah that makes more sense.

From what I’ve seen over the years acting like a complete dick head is just part of the sport.
They are over paid Neanderthals for the most part.
Not a huge sports fan or competitive player, but you will see a great deal of confidence/arrogance in the elite in many fields (even when the elite aren’t chosen by competence). This guy, whose existence I wasn’t even aware of a month ago, is certainly in that category.
As for overpaid, I don’t agree. Overvalued, certainly.
As for overpaid, I don’t agree. Overvalued, certainly.
The two are synonymous as far as I am concerned. What do you consider the difference?
If my services can be sold for a reasonable price and I get paid an exorbitant amount, I’m over paid. If my services are sold for a ridiculous amount and I get paid a reasonable portion of those earnings, I’m overvalued but not overpaid.
If you want to look at it another way. Why are people paying $1 billion for a super bowl commercial spot? Because they think it will give them visibility worth that amount. But the real question is why are viewers paying that much consideration to a super bowl ad? They are overvalued.
The chiefs fumbled, and that guy thought he should have been in, so they wouldn’t have lost the ball. I believe that he is screaming, “just leave me in the game” like every play.
Why it’s tolerated, not sure.
He brings in an enormous amount of money for the team and league. Make enough money and you can treat whoever you want, however you want. It’s not morally right, but it’s true.
It’s tolerated because he’s literally the best player in his position in the entire world (and one of the best in the history of the entire sport). What are the going to do? Get rid of him?
If you’re not one of the best, the behavior is not tolerated as much.
Let’s say you got 2 people whose job it is to write job proposals. One guy does it, and the company wins the job and people have work. The other guy just doesn’t write the proposal. The job goes somewhere else and people are laid off. This is the first guy yelling at his boss to let him write the 2nd proposal. Youre the boss. Do you tolerate the yelling, or do you tolerate the failure to do the job?
Neither. I fire the person who doesn’t write the proposal and I discipline the yeller. If I’m the boss, I’m not about to nurture a culture where any employee who thinks they know better than me gets to barge into my office to scream in my face.
So you do what Reid did then…
None of these people will ever be laid off lol
You realize they fire a ton of people every year in the NFL, right? Kelce will eventually be one of them when he gets old, unless he decides he’s done before he isn’t good anymore.
Dude must absolutely crush it in bed, cuz he looks like a giant red flag otherwise.
I was planning on losing, but since you insist…
Guy on the left looks like a McDonald’s cashier in that outfit.

Is that really the gentlemanly thing to do? Shout at an official?!?
It’s no way to treat a man with the diabeetus.
I thought it was a ‘headset’, Huh.
Learn somethin new everyday…
I believe that’s his coach.
Whatever.
they only meme about her because she is campaigning against trump
Has she even said anything about the election yet? I thought they were just pre-emptively freaking out because she might say something. And hopefully she will. If a popstar can save democracy from a christofacist hellscape then I’ll take it.
She just tells people to vote. Which is a GOP nightmare.
I don’t think she is campaigning against him at all but she definitely should be. He’s an insurrectionist fascist wannabe dictator why would anyone want to vote for him in the first place?
I’m not American, but the article you linked just says she urged people to vote. Doesn’t seem like she compelled people who to vote for.
or they think it’s funny to see her fans flip out.
I don’t think the fans are flipping out at all. Mostly they are just laughing and pointing out how stupid it is. A good portion of them are children too. So children can understand how silly this whole thing is but these grown adults can’t lol.
I’m not saying her fans are flipping out. I’m just giving another reason why people mess with her.
