The great debate this season for the Pittsburgh Steelers among fans has been about whether or not the team should stay with head coach Mike Tomlin or move in a different direction. Many members of the media have run with the same narrative. But Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce thinks it is a horrible idea and didn’t hesitate to go after the media about it.
He was on his New Heights Podcast with this brother Jason and went all in on the media over Tomlin.
“The media is so dumb,” Kelce said. “Why do we do the media? Bunch of jackasses. Just out here f*cking talking nonsense. One of the best coaches the NFL has ever even seen, about to possibly get his 17th consecutive non-losing season.”

The Steelers head into this week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens with a chance to sneak into the playoffs. Tomlin’s teams have been consistently playing meaningful football late into seasons for nearly two decades. For many, this is canceled out by the fact his teams struggle in the playoffs.
