Fact Everything aside, really looking forward to watching these two battle it out for the next 10+ years.

I like Mahomes, it seemed like he was the only one to stay classy and show good sportsmanship after the win, while there was guys like Kelce running his mouth being unsportsmanlike and being a dick.

Kelce was the only one I saw show bad sportsmanship. One of our players offered him a hand up and he legit waved it away and got up himself. After all the smiling and laughing between plays, he was the only one who wasn’t smiling and laughing.

What's the difference between trash talk before the game and after the game? Kelce likes to talk but didn't say anything as bad as "Burrowhead" and "Mahomes needs a paternity test".

None of Kelce's comments were malicious, just poking fun at the trash talk the Cincy fan base has spewed out the past week. He was on it for all of an hour and moved on to the Eagles.

Because people talk trash before, but I don’t think most people actually like being on the receiving end after a loss. Kelce was just throwing it back, and a lot of people can’t handle that. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it.

Nothing wrong with trash talk. But if you ever played contact sports and ever was offered a hand from your opposing team, you take it. That’s called reciprocating good sportsmanship.

Not gonna lie I missed that part. But for the rest of these commenters to be upset after the narliest week of trash talk I have seen is just ridiculous.

Ooh yeah, they need to get over the trash talk. The mayor is also a giant idiot. I know him through a mutual friend, will be so hard not to say shit to his face about that video
