Kelce jokingly claimed that he was just telling Reed how much he was loved.
But the newspaper said lip readers say Kelce said, “Come on, you son of a bitch.” Please wear me. ”

That audio will probably never see the light of day. The league cannot afford to view its marquee player in such a negative light.
