Chiefs' Travis Kelce calls 49ers' George Kittle the best tight end in football ahead of Super Bowl rematch
The Kansas City Chiefs are now and really have been, one of the more hated franchises in every sport. When you start winning way more than anyone else, it's easy to root against them.

The Kansas City Chiefs are now and really have been, one of the more hated franchises in every sport. When you start winning way more than anyone else, it's easy to root against them. Well, that is if you aren't a Chiefs fan.
The same thing happened to the New England Patriots and any other dynasty we have seen in professional sports. But, if people are hating on you, you must be doing something right. While other teams are hating, the Chiefs are remaining their classy selves.
Andy Reid always says not to give out bulletin board material; in other words, don't be the guy to talk trash to the other team. Just go out there and play football and let your game do the talking. The 49ers are the ones giving bulletin board material like Nick Bosa saying the Chiefs' offensive line is not good and they hold a lot.
But, when you turn to the Chiefs getting asked questions about players on the 49ers, it's all love.
"King of Tight End U, man," Travis Kelce said when asked about George Kittle. "He's the best tight end in the league and deservingly so this year. He's been playing lights out, playing the best football of his career, and really catapulting that San Fran team through the playoffs, man. I couldn't be more proud of him… Couldn't be more honored to go up against George in another Super Bowl."
Saying things like "could not be more honored" shows that the Chiefs are a classy team that respects their opponents. To me, that's the difference between a team that has been there before and won it all multiple times and a team that has not and came up short last time. I get that you are upset you blew a 10-point lead in the fourth and lost by 11, but the moment you start disrespecting someone who has won as much as the Chiefs have, is the moment you have messed up.
Maybe, just maybe, Bosa didn't watch the Chiefs against the Buffalo Bills of Baltimore Ravens and see how much those two teams talked about the Chiefs. It likely will not come back to him in a good way.
49ers are still having issues with the basics of football as they prep for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl
The Chiefs have the 49ers in that category.
