According to pundit Skip Bayless, Andy Reid “sold his coaching soul” for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in Las Vegas by letting Travis Kelce “attack” him during that on-side meltdown.
Analyst Skip Bayless asserted that Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid sold his soul to win the Super Bowl by permitting Travis Kelce’s on-side breakdown.
When Chiefs tight end Kelce unexpectedly walked over to his head coach on the sidelines during the Super Bowl’s second quarter, shoving Reid and screaming in his face, he incited reaction.
Both Kelce and Reid dismissed his shocking behavior after the game, suggesting that they would not be disciplined by the team.
The NFL player was also mic’d up for the Super Bowl, which meant that his incredible moment of insanity was captured on camera. However, his blushes were spared when Inside the NFL, which was released the Tuesday after the big game, neglected to air the clip.
According to a New York Post story, chiefs were suspected of preventing the recording from airing, with Reid himself allegedly giving the order.
Analyst for FS1 Bayless stated he wasn’t shocked that the team might have taken action to keep Kelce’s tantrum from becoming widely known.
He tweeted earlier this week, “Excellent story in the NY Post by Ryan Glasspiegel indicates the Chiefs managed to keep NFL Films audio of Travis Kelce attacking Andy Reid from airing anywhere.”
Not shockingly. Kelce was abusive both physically and verbally. No penalty. For that Super Bowl, Andy sold his coaching soul.
With the Chiefs in position to score their first touchdown of the game, Kelce was left out of a play, but Isiah Pacheco’s fumble against the 49ers caused the play to fail. The tape showed Kelce reacting by throwing his helmet on the ground and then yelling at Reid, the 65-year-old grandfather. However, commentators interjected and quickly played a clip showing them fist-bumping.
If Kelce and the Chiefs hadn’t won, that might have been the game’s lasting memory. Instead, with fiancée Taylor Swift supporting him from the stands, Kelce’s fairytale season reached a new height as he won the Super Bowl for the third time.
The 34-year-old Kelce weights 250 pounds and is 6 feet 5 inches tall.
pounds, acknowledged that his microphone could give him away after the Super Bowl, but he wouldn’t say what he yelled in Reid’s face.
You guys noticed that, I see. He declared, “I’m going to keep it between us unless my mic’d up tells the world,” just after winning in Vegas. “I just wanted to tell him how much I love him,”
However, it seems the Chiefs player won’t have to deal with that fact because the episode seems to have forgotten about the occurrence.
After the game, Reid, for his part, was eager to play down the circumstances, saying in jest that Kelce “keeps him young.”
“He tested that hip out,” he continued. Normally, I would have given him a little leeway, but he caught me off guard and I lost my footing.
He was actually approaching and stating, “Just include me, and I’ll score.” I’ll win.” That’s exactly what it was, then. I adore that. It’s not the initial instance. I am grateful to him.
NFL icon Terry Bradshaw said earlier this week that, considering the head coach’s recent hip surgery, he was concerned about him after the event.
