Comedian Bill Burr is under intense scrutiny following a brutal joke he made about Chiefs head coach Andy Reid at Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame ceremony. The joke, considered by many to be in poor taste, has sparked significant backlash from fans, media, and the NFL community. Critics argue that Burr’s comment was inappropriate for such a prestigious event, overshadowing the celebration of Brady’s illustrious career. The controversy has ignited a heated debate on the boundaries of comedy and respect within the sports world, making Burr’s remarks a major topic of discussion and criticism.
Any Reid is one of the best coaches currently in the NFL, and the fact that he has won back-to-back Super Bowls in the last two years as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs is just part of the reason that he may, one day, be enshrined in Canton.
The Chiefs head coach and former NFL quarterback, Tom Brady, have a lot in common regarding how widely known and successful the two football personalities are and were. Especially when it comes to talent level at their position and having the ability to win Super Bowls.
Brady’s New England Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony was held Wednesday night, and comedian Bill Burr was invited to open the event with a set. It seems he doesn’t believe Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid will soon see the number of rings TB12 has.
One fan didn’t like the idea of Burr going after the defending Super Bowl-winning head coach, stating that there was a better joke to be made, “Soft joke. Andy Reid is a really cool guy. Should’ve gone after Kelce instead.”
And it seems like another fan felt that the joke just didn’t hit because it wasn’t intelligent enough, commenting, “That’s just ridiculously stupid.” While another fan commented that the joke was “Brutally unfunny”.
After all this drama that the Chiefs head coach most likely isn’t paying attention to, it will be interesting to see what the Chiefs do during the Mahomes and Reid era. It could very well be possible that Mahomes becomes the new GOAT, but we’ll have to wait and see.
