Andy Reid dons Santa suit to celebrate Chiefs’ Christmas win
NY Post
Andy Reid got into the Christmas spirit.
The Chiefs coach made a postgame outfit change, swapping his sideline attire for a Santa Claus outfit, to deliver the good news to his Chiefs players after their 29-10 win over the Steelers clinched the AFC title and a first-round bye.
“Merry Christmas! Proud of you, dudes. Proud of you,” he said. “For the present, you get home field advantage.”
Reid’s entrance was enough to steal the thunder from stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, who riled everyone up by showing off their custom Pere Noel-inspired sideline jackets — gifts from Netflix for their performances in the victory.
The day was made much more special for Kelce, who gave the Acrisure Stadium crowd an unwanted gift with the 1,000th reception of his career, adding his 77th touchdown with the Chiefs to pass legend Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving scores in franchise history.
Kelce dunked the ball through the uprights — an ode to Gonzalez’s signature TD celebration — and earned an unsportsmanlike penalty for his troubles.
The irony of tanking is it doesn’t work. Sure, there are a few exceptions in the lottery era, most notably involving Gregg Popovich, whose long-term damage to the NBA includes being the Godfather of tanking, load management and condescension toward the media. But if you look at the recent history of champions and finalists, the best path to ultimate success is smart drafting and smart trading, not losing for a better draft position.
