Travis Kelce takes one more shot at Dee Ford during Chiefs parade

After the Eagles won Super Bowl LII, center Jason Kelce gave a memorable speech following the team’s parade in Philadelphia.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce got a chance to do the same in Kansas City on Wednesday. After spending time on the parade route drinking beer poured from a distance by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Kelce got the microphone and took off on a speech that found time to reference an error by a former member of the Chiefs that contributed to them missing the Super Bowl a year ago.

Dee Ford lined up offsides and negated an interception that would have sealed an AFC Championship Game win over the Patriots after the 2018 season. He was traded to the 49ers in the offseason and the Chiefs acquired Frank Clark to take over as their top pass rusher. Clark slammed Ford for the mistake last month and Kelce took one last shot at Ford on Wednesday.

“How about my dog, 5-5, and he ain’t offsides, motherf—–g Frank Clark,” Kelce said in video shared by 41 Action News.

Clark actually did jump offsides during the Super Bowl, but it happened early in the game and was all but forgotten when he sacked Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter to put some of the final icing on the cake for Kansas City’s first Super Bowl in 50 years.

  7. Except a Kansas City guy was offsides again on a big third down play, this time uncalled, like every other KC penalty that wasn’t called.

  8. What a tool. You know, it’s possible to revel in victory without dissing somebody else. Most people learned that in elementary school.

  10. He is correct. They would be back to back Super Bowl Champions now. Dee Ford is the reason! Don’t remember him doing anything for the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Glad he is gone!

  13. Sorry Kelce. You have to win the game or shut up. No one is interested in your excuses. Win the game or shut up. Pretend Dynasties do not count. Chiefs have 2 titles. Same as Ravens and Dolphins and Colts. But a far cry from New England Pittsburgh Dallas San Francisco New York Giants Green Bay Packers Washington Redskins Oakland Raiders. You are what your record says you are. You are not a Dynasty.

  16. Went to both recent NYG parades, don’t remember the team guzzling beer and cursing. Left that for the crowd.

  20. Kelce just proved what we all know , he’s an obnoxious wannabe Gronk who will do whatever it takes for attention .

  21. The retirement of Gronk has created a vacuum in the world of showboating TE’s. This misstep by Kelce is exactly why George Kittle is the heir apparent, as America’s favorite TE.

  22. I’m sure Andy was really proud when he heard that.

    The Chiefs shouldn’t have even been in a position where an off sides penalty would cost them a game.

  24. Seeing this buffoon yesterday makes me regret rooting for KC over SF. Something tells me the 49ers wouldn’t be acting like this. What a shame, and immature clown.

    The difference is Gronk is significantly more likable…..and a significantly better TE than Kelce will ever be.

  34. The KC offense putting up 0 points in the fist half of that AFCC game was more egregious then Dee Ford lining up offside. As was the KC defense letting Brady and the Pats offense shred them on multiple 3rd and longs during overtime.

  35. I honestly can’t understand that sort of thing from a veteran player who has to know he’s just one drop in a key situation away from getting that same treatment. Going after a guy for fighting or something stupid like that is one thing but for a garden variety penalty is a low blow.

  36. Kelce is THE MAN

    Dee Ford Did line up off sides and cost the Chiefs a trip to the super bowl. I am glad the team never forgot about that and used it as fuel to win it all.

  37. Some Classy Things the CHiefs did at their parade:

    They had the remaining players from the 1969 super bowl team on the buses and a part of the parade. The Chiefs Players wore jerseys from past Great Chiefs players like Len Dawson and Derrick Thomas. Chiefs Brass and Players thanked the fans. It was a Helluva parade. Go Chiefs

    Except the Niners lined up offsides at least twice but they were uncalled, like every other SF penalty that wasn’t called.

  41. Well, Brady managed to steal 1 from Mahomes… Lets see if he can steal one more over the next two years. If not for Brady’s incredible play (and that offsides) last year, the Chiefs would be starting down a chance at 3 in a row.

    Now the Chiefs have to stay healthy, take everyone’s best shot, get some good fortune and try to get back. No question they have the talent but it’s never easy!

    I think the 49ers would have been much worse. 6 titles and Jimmy G trade. They would have been soooo smug. It would have been like the dynasty from the 80s and and early 90s never ended.

    Just don’t watch. Of course they are going to gloat and celebrate. In 2014 the Patriots had pictures of Sherman at the parade. it’s just part of it.

    Come on man. Stuff like this makes it hard to like this team.
    —
    Probably the most unlikable team since the Ravens

  44. They haven’t been there before and it shows.

    As a huge Chiefs fan I’m still in disbelief of the win… The parade had some cringe worthy moments, including the shot at Ford, but it’s new for them too.

    Give us a little break, clearly “we” don’t know how to act.

  45. He is getting awful close to violating Dee Ford’s civil rights.
    Keep talking Kelce and you’ll end up in jail.

  47. Yes, Dee Ford made an horrendous mistake, but aren’t teammates supposed to have each other’s back? Should the Bills have ripped Scott Norwood? Should the Red Sox players ripped Bill Buckner? Not sure I get why Kelce would go after Ford at the Super Bowl victory celebration. Comes across as classless.

    Not come across as classless. It IS classless!! Coach, owner and QB need to come together and have several noisy words in the classless one’s ears. From what I saw of the parade, there were some really nice touches by the Chiefs, like inviting the players of 69 along, but this spoiled it all. I hope Kelce and Clark feel some shame for what they did, and hope they were just swept up in the moment, but somehow, I doubt that is that case…

    Classy post. It’s a shame that the Chiefs don’t have someone like you to talk to the team about acting like men, not WWE contestants.

  52. no it’s not, they outplayed Pats in the second half, that’s why they were ahead and not losing. Go back and watch the game. They were up by 3 before the offsides.

  53. Told you people, team full of punks. Mahomes, Clark, Hill, Hunt (I know, no longer there but would be if not for the security camera) and now Kielce. All led by enabling Andy. It’s a shame too, Kansas City is a nice town, the people deserve better. No worries, back to irrelevancy next year!

  54. He’s not wrong. The game was over with that interception and lining up in the neutral zone is just a mistake that you can’t make. Just look down or look at the ball. Ford had a good year for the Chiefs last year. Can’t take that from him. However, this year, the Chiefs not only beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl, they also fleeced the 49ers by taking a part time player in Ford for a 2nd round pick. The Chiefs would be back to back champs if not for Ford.

    BTW I will also mention that Ford, in his rookie year, was running away from Frank Gore while Gore had the ball. Look it up on You Tube. It looks like he has not clue where the ball is at or going.

  56. reminds me of Philly after they won there first super bowl..besides everyone already knows Ford blew it last year no need to bring it up again and rub it in..
