Travis Kelce Offers Andy Reid Critical Legal Insight During Super Bowl

// At one point during the Super Bowl, Kansas City’s struggle to score points prompted Travis Kelce to get in his head coach’s face to air some sort of complaint about the offense. Andy Reid didn’t seem to mind much, claiming that his fiery relationship with Kelce “keeps me young.” Which is a feat since Reid is now — with Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick out of jobs — the oldest coach in the game.

In any event, the image proved memeworthy and while a lot of social media communities tried to make it their own, lawyers really went above and beyond last night.
