Future Hall of Famer Tom Brady was well-known for having some violent outbursts on the sidelines during games when things weren’t going the way he believed they should.
No tablet was safe around him when he was fired up about something he didn’t like.
So when Travis Kelce crashed into his coach Andy Reid on the sidelines of Super Bowl LVIII during an outburst about not being in the game, opinions varied on whether it was inappropriate or not and whether or not Kelce should have been reprimanded by Reid.

On Tuesday, the GOAT shared what he thought about Travis Kelce bumping into Andy Reid on the sidelines during Super Bowl XLIII during the latest episode of his Let’s Go! podcast and what he said won’t surprise very many fans.
“There’s always little family issues and of course I don’t mind seeing it ’cause I was a part of a lot of those things,” Tom Brady explained.
“Emotions are so high. You are definitely not centered and balanced. You’re not in a meditative state at that point. You are fully determined to go out there and to win. So I think a lot of the things that are said during the games, people should just let them fly off their back.
“I actually think coach Reid handled it just awesome, like he always does, ’cause he just said, ‘I was a little off balance and Travis is such a competitor.’ And I love that because it just speaks to his leadership ability.
“It speaks to the self-confidence that coach Reid has in himself, too, because he doesn’t take that personally at all. He doesn’t look at that and feel like someone offended him. He takes it for what it is and doesn’t make it more than it is and doesn’t see someone’s trying to belittle him. Travis is not trying to do any of those things. He’s just trying to be fired up and stay in the moment.”
After the Super Bowl victory, Andy Reid claimed Travis Kelce was just saying, “put me in, I’ll score. So, that’s really what it was. I love that. I mean, it’s not the first time, so I appreciate it.”
Lip readers thought that Kelce said something a teeny bit harsher to Reid, but the sentiment was certainly still the same.
