One person said: I will never look at Travis Kelce the same after his elder abuse and disrespect towards Andy. I can't imagine how he'd behave behind closed doors. He should be ashamed and embarrassed! NFL need's to fine him for that! His ego is getting too big!
A second wrote: Andy Reid showed great professionalism by not screaming back and popping him in the face. Kelce needs to grow up.
A third commented: Kelcie is a self centered jughead. His 15 minutes of fame will be over soon. A no class slug.
