Avast ye hearties! Methinks NFL swashbuckler Shawne Merriman be speakin' his mind on "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich," refutin' the tall tale that fair maiden Taylor Swift be the scoundrel causin' the Chiefs' troubles. Arrr, a sea of laughter be awaitin' ye!
In a humorous tone, it has been suggested by NFL fans and pundits that Taylor Swift may be the reason for the recent struggles of the Kansas City Chiefs, who have lost three out of their last four games. However, former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman disagrees with this narrative. In an appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich," Merriman argued that people are always looking for a scapegoat.Merriman dismissed the idea that the players in the Chiefs' locker room care about who is dating whom. He sarcastically joked that soon they will start blaming tight end Travis Kelce's off-the-field activities, such as his podcast or attending Taylor Swift concerts, for the team's performance. Merriman emphasized that the team as a whole, from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes down, has simply not been playing well.
Merriman highlighted the fact that when someone as famous as Taylor Swift is involved, people will always try to find someone to blame. He acknowledged that the defense hasn't been as strong and the blocking for Mahomes hasn't been up to par, but ultimately, he believes that the team is just not performing well overall. Merriman humorously suggested that if being a "Swiftie" can be used as a scapegoat, people will certainly do so.
Despite their recent struggles, the Chiefs are still leading the AFC West with two games remaining in the regular season. So, while some may point fingers at Taylor Swift or other factors, the reality is that the team needs to find a way to improve their performance on both sides of the ball.
