Travis Kelce

John in Loudoun : 9/17/2017 3:52 pm
Incredible athlete and talented player. Is it me or is he a world class douche? This guy has an unsportsmanlike penalty in two games already. He make an incredible TD and then runs across the field flapping his arms like what I assume is an eagle. I bet this guys is going to cost this team a game or two before its said and done. His antics would get old for me.
IIRC

the reason that he fell in the draft was because of his attitude and off the field incidents.
I don't know about world class.

Martin Skreli is a world class douche. Kelce is a few rungs down that ladder, firmly planted in Frat Boy/Bro douche territory.
He's is certainly a toolbox of massive proportions

Well said. Skreli is amongst the Goat douches.
Doesn't his brother still play for the Eagles?

Classy
No worse than the rest of the....  
Crispino : 9/17/2017 5:19 pm : link
"Look at me" players in the league. Every tackle, every broken up pass, every catch is an occasion for some kind of self aggrandizing display. At least Kelce's display was after a pretty remarkable play.

he's taking the crown from former Giant Philip Rivers
If he played for us  
mattlawson : 9/17/2017 5:43 pm : link
And made the play against them. You'd love it
He would fit right in here...

in fact, he may already be posting on this forum
Personally, I don't care much about the antics and celebrations.

Football to me is just entertainment - I don't get bothered much by the things that happen outside of the action with the ball.

That being said, it does bother me how there seems to be a double standard in how the media and the broad public views someone like Travis Kelce as opposed to some other players (i.e. Odell Beckham).

Kelce was the same guy that got penalized last year for throwing a flag back at a referee. Most people barely recall that, but if Beckham did something like that we'd be hearing about it for weeks - probably be a headline story on CNN.

Long story short, Kelce's track record over the last couple years is one of the worst in the NFL in terms of unsportsmanlike penalties, yet it seems like he's been given a pass up to this point. Again, I'm fine with people not making a big deal of it, but it would be nice if that standard were applied across the board with other players.
His name is Travis....

Of course he's a douche

This will probably get me banned, but Kelce is white and the other player is not.

Nothing to do with race.

Aaron Donald held out OTA's, camp and preseason and you heard little of it.

Odell skips OTA's and it's everywhere.

Because Aaron Donald isn't the face of the NFL. Plus, he plays on a team that no one cares about and a position that isn't very glamorous, unless you drink a Coca Cola and toss a jersey to a kid.

Not sure if I agree. I hated just about every second of Shockey's presence on the team.

So let me get this straight. Beckham gets more press than Donald because he's the face of the NFL, but when he gets more press than Kelce, it's surely about race?

Holy shit. Wtf is wrong with this place anymore? Idiots are crawling out from under every rock lately
he may be a douche ...
