What a disgrace! He has shown his axx today again. This display of immaturity along with the outburst with Andy Reid reveals his obnoxious behavior. Grow up, Travis. Taylor Swift should quickly run away from you. You don’t deserve her

He’s gotten enough yellow flags for it. It is who he is. The guy has no history outside of football.
Welcome to hot takes.
