Andy Reid is speaking out after a shocking incident with Teair Tart in the Chiefs vs. Chargers game.
The clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 left fans and analysts buzzing, but it wasn’t just the final score that captured attention—it was a controversial moment involving Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart and Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Tart, who had been battling Kelce throughout the game, made headlines after slapping the Chiefs' tight end during a play, sparking outrage and leaving fans and analysts questioning why no penalty was called.
Despite the incident occurring in plain sight, Tart wasn’t ejected from the game, and no flag was thrown by the officials. The moment became a flashpoint for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who openly questioned the referees’ decision to let the slap slide. But Tart, unfazed by the scrutiny, fired back with a bold statement: “If the refs aren’t going to call it, I will. You don’t just slap a guy and get away with it.”
The exchange between Tart and Kelce was the type of heated, high-stakes moment that often defines divisional matchups in the NFL. Kelce, who is a key offensive weapon for the Chiefs, was visibly shaken after the slap, though he managed to shake it off and continue playing. Tart’s actions, however, raised serious questions about sportsmanship and whether such conduct should be tolerated in the game.
Tart’s defiant response indicates he’s not backing down from the heat. “I didn’t mean any disrespect, but if I’m going to make a statement, it’s going to be felt,” Tart added. “That slap was intentional, but it wasn’t anything personal. I’m here to compete and win.”
While Tart’s words could be seen as an admission of guilt, they also reflect the intensity and fire he brings to every play. The NFL is no stranger to on-field altercations, but Tart’s defiance in the face of potential disciplinary action is a rare moment of unapologetic aggression.
For the Chargers, the question remains: should Tart face consequences for his actions? NFL officials are currently reviewing the incident, and while it’s unclear whether Tart will face any sanctions, it’s clear the league must take a hard look at its officiating and enforcement of player conduct during games.
For Reid and the Chiefs, the focus is on how this event could affect their star player, Kelce. The last thing the Chiefs need is for their most dynamic offensive weapon to be sidelined due to a lack of protection from the officials. While Kelce didn’t appear to be seriously injured, the tension between the two teams is undoubtedly building. This incident is likely to be a point of focus for the next matchup between the two teams, especially if Tart’s behavior goes unpunished.
Miami Heat owner jokes about LeBron James’ championship guarantee
It was the summer of 2010, and the NBA world was shocked. LeBron James announced he was taking his talents to South Beach to join the Miami Heat.
LeBron famously promised to bring the Heat: “Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven,” championships.
This, of course, did not happen. LeBron did deliver two titles to Miami, and recently at the Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony, Heat owner Micky Arison poked fun at LeBron.
“In 2010, with Dwyane, LeBron and Chris Bosh, we knew we could win. Not one, not two… I guess it was just two,” Arison joked.

It was all in good fun as even LeBron couldn’t help but laugh. Ultimately, the Heat have not won a title since LeBron left, while King James won two. This includes defeating the Heat in 2020 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
