If you're above the age of 28 and you throw a temper tantrum and break personal property and try and fight a nudnik college boy you've lost my respect... You're a thin skinned bitch. Because it just takes one swing and you're paying a beta boys legal fee's (or worse). And he didn't even really look like a troll. Somehow got up into Kelce's personal space and said his brother was a bundleofsticks for pulling Taylor Swift...Pretty weird. [Reply]

I doubt this helped him professionally. The cell phone spike, maybe, but saying the (other) f-word three times in a rage isn't a great look. I think he'd like that part back at least. [Reply]

Maybe. Or maybe society is finally cracking down on this horseshit entitlement that athletes and personalities can be harassed without any fan consequence.
In Philly alone, Embiid just got in a fight with a reporter who for some reason used his son and dead brother to question his work ethic. But then you have yankee fans assaulting a right fielder and dodgers fans tossing bottles on the field. I think a few college games this has happened too. Osu with water bottle tossing and James Franklin getting into it with psu fans. Now this.
Feel like we’ve really let our guard down ever since malice at the palace in Detroit. Time to get rid of this entitlement. Dickhead fans need to be put in their place [Reply]

I must be watching the wrong version of this incident. I didn't hear him say it once. Hadn't even heard before this post that he supposedly said it 3 times. [Reply]
