Buccaneers Legend Tom Brady Has Interesting Take on Travis Kelce's Explosion on Andy Reid
The Kansas City Chiefs are the first back-to-back Super Bowl Champions since the New England Patriots achieved the feat while eventual Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was still suiting up for the franchise.
While the Buccaneers fell short of their bid to do the same with Brady leading the way, the Chiefs have now set themselves up to try and become the first three-peat champion in NFL history. Something the legendary quarterback never did.
Something Brady did do often in his time with Tampa Bay, and the Patriots before it, was exploding.
Not literally, of course, but whether it was shouting to the crowd pregame or to his teammates or coaches in-game, there is no shortage of clips where Brady is saying things as loudly as he can to whomever he's saying them to.
That is probably why he didn't have an issue with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce exploding on his coach Andy Reid amid the Super Bowl on Sunday.

"Of course, I don't mind seeing it," Brady explained on his Let's Go podcast. "You know, 'cause I was a part of a lot of those things. You're thinking, emotions are so high. You're definitely not centered and balanced. You're not in a meditative state at that point. You are fully determined to go after and to win, so I think a lot of things that are said during the games, people should just let them fly off their back."
Kelce and Reid shrugged the moment off themselves after the win as just the competitive nature of the player coming out in front of the world to witness.
To be honest, it's not out of the realm of possibility that while Reid is Kelce's boss they're also both leaders on the team who may have a mutual respect that allows for the possibility of the subordinate taking a peer-to-peer approach in extreme situations.
Trailing in the Super Bowl and witnessing a turnover while standing on the sideline obviously qualified for Kelce.
And Brady, for one, completely understands. He'd be a hypocrite if he didn't.
