Ex-ESPN host slams Brittany Mahomes and Kelly Stafford as she tells whining NFL WAGs to ‘know the room’

Brittany Mahomes and Kelly Stafford have both been outspoken in venting their frustrations with the NFL this week.But two of the league’s most high-profile WAGs married to two of its top quarterbacks have been slammed by a former ESPN star and told: ‘Know the room.’Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany raged at the officials after a late penalty wiped out a late touchdown that would have been a game-winner for the Kansas City Chiefs in a loss to the Denver Broncos.’You can’t tell me you call that on a game-winning TD, oh wait yeah I can cause it’s us,’ she wrote on Instagram, before calling it ‘the weakest call I have ever seen.’Her outburst came days after Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly called out the league for the Los Angeles Rams schedule, complaining about their quick turnaround from a bye week to a Wednesday night game the day before Thanksgiving. ‘Just curious to hear the thought process behind making the Rams the only team in the NFL without a true bye week,’ she wrote in her Instagram story this week. Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, publicly complained about the Los Angeles Rams’ schedule Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, vented her fury at NFL officials after the Chiefs lost to Denver’Because after 18 years around this league, even I need a week off during the season… and I have never played a single snap. I’m tired just watching from the stands. Can’t imagine how the guys feel.’Both have faced criticism from fans in the wake of their complaints, accusing them of being ‘out of touch’ while their husbands earn tens of millions of dollars playing in the league.Linda Cohn, a former ESPN SportsCenter anchor, warned they should be wary of the perception of their comments outside their inner circle on her YouTube channel. ‘Marriage to a quarterback doesn’t disqualify you from commentary, from having an opinion. It also doesn’t exempt your commentary from criticism,’ Cohn said. ‘Kelly and Brittany are two people making public statements.’While she acknowledged they may have had legitimate points or are entitled to their opinion, she criticized the presentation of their complaints and suggestions their teams are being unfairly treated.  ‘Sometimes before you hit post, the most useful question is, how is this going to sound to somebody whose life looks very, very different from my own? Three words, know the room,’ Cohn added.   ‘Kelly makes the case for player recovery that’s a conversation worth having. Just understand why your own game day exhaustion might not generate the sympathy you expect.’
