Last month, Patrick Mahomes starred in a hilarious Coors Light commercial featuring a bear, circumventing the NFL's laws against its athletes promoting beer. Now his teammate Travis Kelce has joined in on the act, but the response has been less than stellar.

Below is a video of him defeating James Seltzer, one of the station's DJs:
That drew a reaction from Alex Ureveck-Ackelsberg, co-founder and CEO of Zivtech, a web design company based in Philadelphia:
"Future philly mayor @JasonKelce - a man of the people!"
Just a few days later, Travis was filmed drinking beer from what appeared to be a tube attached to a bottle during The Match, a celebrity golf tournament:
He was also a witness to Draymond Green unsuccessfully attempting to do the same:
