Brittany Mahomes, Kelly Stafford get reality check from ex-ESPN anchor Linda Cohn

Former ESPN anchor Linda Cohn criticized Brittany Mahomes and Kelly Stafford on her podcast after both publicly complained about the NFL league. Cohn argued that marriage to a quarterback does not exempt them from criticism. She advised them to "know the room" before making public statements. Mahomes complained about a false start call that cost her team a game-winning touchdown, and Stafford questioned the NFL's bye week schedule.

Cohn agreed that the Rams' 4-4 record had a point, but pointed out that both women were making public statements, and thus their complaints were fair game for a response.
