Craig Melvin Gets Out Of Character On Today
Over the last year or so, Al Roker has become known for being kind of awkward and blunt on The Today Show. More recently, his comment on Craig Melvin’s Instagram post garnered a little bit of attention too.
The animated photo showed the Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid sitting with the quarterback for the team, Patrick Mahomes. They appear to be eating in a Waffle House-style restaurant.
In the background, you can see Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence dressed up like an employee. Of course, Lawrence looks dejected and upset. This followed Jacksonville’s loss to KC on Sunday. Craig shared it to his Instagram and captioned it, “Mean but funny.”
Al Roker was one of the first people to comment saying, “Ouch.” He and Craig Melvin have bumped heads on several topics before. Others were quick to lash out at Craig Melvin, saying that the post was both spiteful and out of character.
“I’ve always told my kids character shows in the way you win. Be better,” one person commented. “Unnecessary…lost a lot of respect for you,” another added.
Normally, Melvin’s posts are more uplifting and focused on sharing heart-warming moments. He wasn’t the only one to take to Instagram and share how he’s been feeling recently though.
