Trash talk is a fine art, not a science, and there is no one universal approach. Some like to take greater risks when doing their trash talk in public, or before an event takes place. That approach backfired pretty hard on the Cincinnati Bengals after the Kansas City Chiefs sent them packing in the AFC Championship game. Chiefs linebacker Frank Clark can respect where they were coming from, though.
“They deserved it”, he said during Super Bowl media week, referring to their right to talk trash after beating Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes three games in a row, as transcribed by Myles Simmons for Pro Football Talk.
