Eight catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns. Basically amounting to a good half for him in any of the previous 10 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>There could be a whole host of reasons for this shocking drop off in production. Age perhaps. Andy Reid might be adjusting his scheme. Patrick Mahomes is blaming double teams. Which won\u2019t cut it since it\u2019s not like opposing coordinators are just now having this epiphany for the first time. It\u2019s been tried before. And failed before.<\/p>\n<p>No, most football fans with a sentient brain in their skulls have already connected the dots on what\u2019s ailing Travis Kelce. And the lines form the outline of the most celebrated pop star in the English-speaking world. It\u2019s just that no one in the media has been willing to admit what the rest of us are seeing. Until now. Until Todd McShay went there:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I don\u2019t understand this, and maybe it\u2019s a political thing, maybe it\u2019s like the NFL, and maybe I\u2019m gonna wind up getting a phone call from the league office. Maybe it\u2019s the Taylor Swift, I don\u2019t know,\u201d says McShay. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery show I watch, every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, weekday show, every broadcast I watch for the last few weeks, it\u2019s like, are we not allowed to say that he\u2019s out of shape? That he\u2019s been partying all offseason? He\u2019s been jet-setting around with the most famous person, probably in the entire world. That he\u2019s drinking\u2026 going to the U.S. Open, he\u2019s got cocktails in\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I do know is: I want you to take a picture from preseason 2022 and then take a picture preseason 2024; they\u2019re barely the same human being, Ryan,\u201d added McShay. \u201cAnd everyone\u2019s like, \u2018We gotta get him the ball. Why isn\u2019t he part of the offense? The defense is double-covering (him).\u2019 Here\u2019s the thing, bottom line with Kelce, the coverage and the respect he gets is the same; the athlete is not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McShay\u2019s lips to the football gods\u2019 ears. Please, let this be so. Not just a slump. Not just running into a couple of good defensive game plans. Let this be the Shameless Attention Whore Lifestyle catching up with Kelce at last. If we\u2019ve learned anything from celebrity documentaries, it\u2019s that fame comes at a terrible price. In fact, that is the defining point of every, single one of those shows. It\u2019s why the phrase, \u201cBut offstage, things were falling apart \u2026\u201d is a registered trademark of E! True Hollywood Story.<\/p>\n<p>But through all of the 2023 NFL season and the 2024 offseason, Kelce has seemingly been immune from the natural laws of celebrity physics. Yet if McShay and our own eyes are correct, those immutable laws have caught up to him at last. And he\u2019s finding out the hard way that you can\u2019t live like a K-Pop star for 6 months of the year and expect to play NFL football the other six.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, putting it in these terms is sort of taking the coward\u2019s way out. This could all be very much about Taylor herself. She certainly wouldn\u2019t be the first girlfriend who ruined a guy. We all know someone who started dating someone and it destroyed him. Some succubus who drained all the fun out of a man and made him a shell of his former self. But I won\u2019t accuse her of that because I need to incur the wrath of the Swifties like I need to make enemies out of the Church of Scientology. Instead I\u2019ll just keep drilling down on the idea she\u2019s a wonderful, talented, successful woman, but her jet-setting lifestyle is simply too much for an NFL tight end to keep up with. I just hope this turns out to be the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; It\u2019s been just about a year now that the Celebrity Coupling From Which There is No Escape began.
