I really despise Travis Kelce

[RunKijanaRun]

Kelce’s a POS and I hope he has to play his next game with explosive diarrhea and black plague.

You know, I used to really admire Travis Kelce and George Kittle for their rare physical talents and hard nosed playing styles.  Then, after listening to each of them speak a few times, they quickly lost favor in my book.

BTW, almost seemed like both Mahomes and Kelce faked their injuries similar to the Pig...

I don't know. Just throwing this out there lol

I think Mahomes was playing it up to make a legendary moment. Ala the Jordan flu game. He probably told his BFF Romo to play it up on the broadcast.

Lol, not just you. Kelce is a douche, but he was definitely talking about a mayor talking football smack, not some imaginary perceived racism. I guess if you're creative enough, anything can be twisted into racism.

Last game he was taking shots at Cincinnati Chili, and last night with his "Know your role and shut your mouth" bs. Dude, you're 1-4, a 25% win percentage and you're gonna run your mouth and talk trash after a win. My feelings towards him are quickly reaching Rapistberger levels.

Hate the guy, but he's a future HOFer and earned the right to run his mouth. If we won we would be laughing at him, so he pretty much is making us eat crow.

I hate that whole team except the coach. They give me Pitt vibes now. Hope they get their ass kicked.

Not only do we have Kelce talking crap about the city, but we also now have Mahomes' wife taking shots at Damar Hamelin

Maybe next time, a player who is mic'd up doesn't call the place that they've only won 1 game "Burrowhead."

Maybe next time, Eli Apple just...doesn't ***** tweet the first thing that comes to his brain.

This team did a lot of work to turn the general NFL audience against them. I hope they learn from this.

I know it's an AFCCG and you don't need bulletin board material or extra motivation, but it'll never go to waste. Best to just not give it at all.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of trash/shit talking at all. Let your game send a message. It's a distraction and embarrassing. Specially when you can't back it up. Then in our case, you get outsiders jumping in like the mayor and Apple's mom? GTFOH. I am truly proud of this team and their efforts. They don't need to ruin or tarnish their achievements with BS like that.

Oh, and FTK!

Anytime a politician opens their mouth trying to be 'cool'...it's always cringeworthy as shit.

He didn’t earn shit.

I've been a Bengals fan since I was 10 years old and part of this community since shortly after that. I don't think that refusing to participate in overreactions and remaining reasonable asserts that I am a KC fan, or a fan of any other team, really.

Weird, been feeling the same way about KC lately. I do like Andy Reid, dude is a funny guy and just likable and a damn good Coach.

Don't really like anybody on that team other than him though, which is nice for a great rivalry. They got one, good for them.

I bet they beat the Eagles though, they looked terrible against a team without a QB yesterday.

Also, Kelce’s comment, “Know your place!” is a racist slam against Cincinnati’s mayor who is Indian-American. The Indian caste system which unfortunately still exists is all about knowing one’s place.

I hate Kelce with a passion, but he was just doing the classic Rock schtick. Nothing to do with race.

Glad to know. That said, you're really leaning into those pats on KCs proverbial back. It's not appreciated less than 12 hours after the NFL and their referees raw dogged the team out of a SB birth.

No shit. People bringing up race have the problem...
