I understand that coach wanting to act like it’s not a big deal but it really is. I thought he was pretty funny on SNL and was hoping he was sort of the gentle giant with a sense of humor type, but now I think he’s probably got really rage issues. I don’t see this relationship lasting. It’s too bad because I think it’s good for famous people to find someone who both understands the issues in the lifestyle but also is in a different field so there’s no so much direct comparison of careers.
Except they really wouldn't.
He was fired up, not yelling AT his coach. I've seen far, far worse. Not that we're in a race to the bottom, but this is nothing compared to other sideline/coach stuff. You should hear the stuff coming out of the coaches mouth sometimes. Some coaches are just awful. Reid didn't care about this at all.
He basically shoved him. Not cool.
You can see in this video Andy bumping into Kelce the same way and yelling at him a month ago during the Christmas game. It's how they communicate which is why Andy thought it was no biggie
Uh, that video shows Kelce slamming his helmet into the ground in rage, and then Reid keeping someone from giving it back to Kelce and then going and yelling at Kelce about it. It's an example of Kelce being a hothead and Reid punishing him for it.
My read (heh, my Reid read) on the situation is that Reid did not want to make a big thing of it in their Superbowl win. He did not want to discuss something negative after the game, especially knowing how much focus was on Kelce in particularly. He wants the team to be able to celebrate their win publicly and normally and focus on everything that went right.
I think the team, and Reid, will handle Travis' behavior privately, and I would not be surprised if he winds up paying a fine and also having to do some groveling. I just think it won't happen publicly and Reid and the Chiefs will ignore questions and downplay it because they understand Kelce is a massive PR asset right now and they don't want to get into some kind of public conversation about his behavior.
This is a VERY football way to handle it. Public dramas and disagreements, especially between players and coaches are fairly rare in the NFL because they all know there's not much advantage to anyone to let things play out in the press. It's pretty much always best for the team to handle things privately.
