Tipping your hand at what you might actually say when trash talking is probably not the best strategy.
But Falcons safety Jessie Bates is doing it anyway ahead of the team’s “Sunday Night Football” showdown against the defending Super Bowl Champion Chiefs.
Jessie Bates follows the play during the second half of the Falcons’ 37-17 loss to the Bears last season.“I don’t listen to much Taylor Swift, but obviously you got to have respect for what she’s done in her career. And then with Travis , you got to have some type of respect with him,”“But once that clock ticks and we’re in between those lines. I see red sometimes and might say some crazy stuff to him, it may involve Taylor, in may not. It’s just part of the game, talking your little smack.
It has been slow goings for Kelce in 2024, with just four catches for 39 yards in two games, though the Chiefs have come out victorious in both. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend the men’s final on day fourteen of the 2024 US Open Tennis Championships. “I used to get really, really pissed off and almost lose my cool a lot of the time from not having that success knowing that I demand that out of myself and I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it’s just tough for me to deal with being mediocre or having stats that represent that,” Kelce said on his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast Wednesday.
