Kelce on Justin Tucker (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

I've always thought Justin Tucker was one of the more annoying players in the game. (HOF kicker performer though, no doubt)

But he took it next level with the trying to warm up in the way of the Kansas City offense Sunday on their end of the field.

Kelce was having none of it.

He always warms up there

He always warms up there

He's in the wrong. And he knows it. Nobody else does that to the opposing team.

Kelce jabs at Ravens' Tucker for 'poking the bear'

Travis Kelce said Justin Tucker violated an "unwritten rule" Sunday by stretching and placing his equipment where Patrick Mahomes was getting loose.

www.espn.com

"Justin came out and he said it was more of a joking gesture and kind of a fun, competitive [move] and I get it," Kelce said. "He was kind of winking at me, being a d--- about it, trying to get under the skin. ... We just weren't in a joking mood. We were ready to get after it."

Mahomes said Tuesday that Tucker is the only kicker who has violated those unwritten rules during his NFL career.

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This was a much discussed item on Twitter before the game.

And not really anything since.

Seems like a nothing burger. I’m not sure there’s causation here.

Like the implication here seems to be that if Tucker hadn’t done that the Ravens would have won?

Pick on a real football player instead of a kicker. That might have been entertaining.

Good for Kelce laying down the law with Tucker...reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer was taking karate lessons with kids.

Buddy......we are ONE week away from getting this thing played before a Federal Holiday. Let's embrace the pause. An 18 game schedule gets us there. All any of us want is a day to recover after the game.

Football players do all kinds of things to get in their opponent's head. But many people don't consider a kicker a real "football player," so it's somehow considered out of line. If it was a starting corner, I think it would be seen differently.

Three future HOF inductees had a little incident before a playoff game. That's it.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I saw it as gamesmanship (I said that in real time in the group text where a friend forwarded the story). Tucker was trying to be a nuisance (gamesmanship), and Kelce did what he did (gamesmanship). Not a big deal.

#1 a starting corner wouldn't do something annoying during warmups because they themselves need to warm up. If a starting corner would have done something annoying like that, there would have been hands thrown.

#2 Tucker or not, kickers can go play hacky sack anywhere else on the field to 'warm up'.

Perhaps not, but between Tucker's games and the WRs going out of their way to make a TD celebration that mocked the wives/girlfriends of Chiefs players, it makes you wonder if they weren't focused enough last week. Considering how they unraveled they got the minute they saw how on his game Mahomes was early on and then how many 15-yard penalties they incurred throughout the game, they definitely didn't look like a team that was buttoned up.

 

[rockaction]

Oh my you better not make a dance about the WAG s of the Chiefs or we will see you in hell, boys.

 

[rockaction]

As far as Tucker goes, that was bush league and he got his response. A team captain told him where to go. The refs should be the ones doing that, instead it’s stupidly self-policed. Bad look for the NFL IMO.

What has Tucker ever done that’s annoying, prior to these overblown incident?

Despite being the best ever at his position, he’s a genuinely humble and encouraging guy who always deflects praise to his long snapper and holder

I think some of this might stem from how much you hated the Ravens and Billick back in 2000 (something I’ve been around here long enough to remember)

He’s never been annoying. Just the current narrative unfortunately. He’s been around forever and I have never heard anything negative about him. Well, until he incurred the wrath of a certain persons BF lol

 

[ChicoCat]

Kind of reminds me about the time when the Canadians and Flyers were in the playoffs. A relatively harmless ritual/superstition led to a kerfuffle..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_p67d-0LD0

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Kelce is a star player who already has multiple SB rings, and his team won on Sunday. Tucker is a kicker, and his team lost on Sunday.

Regardless of the issue of who's supposed to be warming up where, it seems a little tacky to make an issue out of it now.

I'm pretty sure Justin Tucker - Travis Kelce pregame thing had nothing to do with Brian Billick. And yes, this is meaningless.

And wow, that's some notebook. Are you a Ravens fan? And a good reminder to be careful what I say. I do remember being pretty bummed about the Browns leaving Cleveland in 1995. Maybe that's what you're remembering.

 

[Bottomfeeder Sports]

I'll take Kelce at his word that he will always be the bigger .

"poking the bear"

yes, it was so great when they used to play the Oilers in the Astrodome

I used to hate the open week. But now I kind of think I don't mind it. It gives a chance to reset and take a breath before the game. And even without a game, it prolongs the season for a week.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Couldn’t find an official Justin Tucker thread, so this probably works.

Deshaun Watson II, the electric boogaloo

Maybe this is why he was so off this year. Mental focus is critical in his line of work. Awful allegations herein.

Huh. Here I thought Tucker was this guy who was pretty much beyond reproach other than playing for the Ravens. That's not a pleasant nor good story to read. I hope it proves to be untrue, I guess, but that people went through all this trouble if he were innocent would also be awful.

What a downer.

 

[Insein]

Makes it very easy to cut him if true after his misses this year.

 

[menobrown]

Yeah, not just limited to players but people in general, especially when it comes to sexual perversions/activity, can often be someone entirely different then we think we know. Deshaun Watson had one of the best images in the entire NFL, it's one of the reasons I think he's struggled to get back, not used to being in the role of the villain.

Which is also why I think this has a lot of merit:

Maybe this is why he was so off this year. Mental focus is critical in his line of work. Awful allegations herein.

 

[menobrown]

Also I usually push back hard when people rush to say so and so is done. Talented players get second, third,etc,etc chances.

But old Kickers, no matter how great they used to be, don't get long leashes. Would guess if this sticks he's done.

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, not just limited to players but people in general, especially when it comes to sexual perversions/activity, can often be someone entirely different then we think we know.

No doubt. It's always a shame to hear about stuff like this. I shouldn't be surprised or shocked, but I almost always am. In a way, it shatters a bit of the normalcy we expect life to have when a friend or acquaintance is accused of something like this. And like I said, even if the story turns out to be untrue, the cynicism involved in that is enough to make one a little ill, so this stinks no matter how you look at it.

And I also agree with you and Hot Sauce Guy that him being "so off this year" because of this is a real possibility.

No way this story has a happy ending.

I think we can safely recycle 97% of the jokes in the Watson topic.

Please do not.

There is zero funny about allegations of sexual assault.

 

[Deamon]

does this affect him getting into the HOF?
