Lovable?? Harmless? The rage he has displayed in several recent games is not what I would describe as harmless. He’s a disrespectful, immature jerk at the very least. His mom should be ashamed of his behavior.
Not knowing the dude's social history - was he a bully as a kid? is he a narcissist? etc with the questions - his behavior also raises the specter of (turbo?) CTE for he surely grew up playing football. One wonders if Swift will become a target of his emotional dysregulation, and if she will have the smarts to get out. With material for a new song. 🙄 Said with humanity and empathy, leaving politics and ideology aside. ...Did that come out right?
No longer follow the game so not familiar with Gonzales but, remember Lyle Alzado? (Truly dating myself.) Different issue/discussion: steroids. Turned the dude into a raging, unrepentant thug/a-hole onfield and off. Until he ceased and desisted with the hormones in retirement. Died super young. As I recall, degenerative condition attributed in part to steroid use. ...Off track. You just sparked memory of that sad case.
Do you mean Aaron Hernandez? I actually read the book that came out on his story, am a fan of James Patterson, and picked it up since he was the co-author. Another chink in the NFL armor, as his years of bad behavior getting a pass was not unique with him. Too many of these players rise up from nothing, have no idea how to handle the fame and $ and never really leave behind the world they came from. Hernandez had it all, and chose the thug life, and the Patriots did him no favors looking the other way until it was too late for Odin Lloyd, his victim.
I was in the 'Made in KC' store the other day to buy a gift (all locally produced items) and the #87 merch was EVERYWHERE. (I was there for the Christopher Elbow chocolates, not Kelce crap) So I guess he is making money for a lot of small businesses, lol.
Kelce was there for the sound bites. He's a Good Ol' lovable Party Animal. Everyone wants to hear him say the tired cliches. He's harmless, right?
Right?
Agreed on Butker. He did more than Kelce for the game results.

I was being facetious. He is portrayed in public as everyone's best buddy. I'm sure that's not the case in real life.
A few years ago I constantly got him mixed up with Gronk.

Reminds me of NE TE Aaron Gonzales, deceased. A thug , bully, and gangster masquerading as a football player.

Correct. He’s creating a ‘brand’ … mainly for himself though.
