This Kansas City Chiefs referee conspiracy stuff has gotten WAY out of hand, so much so that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed it, as did the NFL Referees Association.

And of course on Super Bowl Opening Night, someone -- it appears to be Rich Shertenlieb, the former Toucher and Rich co-host -- asked Travis Kelce what he loves more: Taylor Swift or "phantom 15-yard roughing the passer penalties in the playoffs."

Kelce handled it perfectly: "That's a good question. Anybody else?"

You can also see Shertenlieb ask Patrick Mahomes who his favorite referee is. These guys are pros for handling these questions.
