Eric Stonestreet is an actor on Modern Family, an Emmy winner and a Kansas City, Kan., native. He’s also big into sports, whether driving the pace car at NASCAR races or rooting for his beloved Chiefs. And while he’s wary of overstating his connections with Kansas City’s front office, he has forged a unique relationship with GM Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid.
With the Chiefs heading back to a third Super Bowl in four years, Stonestreet shared his insights on his favorite team.
ON THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN VEACH AND REID: “I haven’t really witnessed the dynamic with coach and Brett, like, them hanging out. I can only relate it to the fact that when we moved on from John Dorsey and I heard they were hiring Brett Veach, I’d heard his name, but I couldn’t put a face to him. I didn’t know what Brett Veach looked like; I knew he was in our organization. And then when I saw a picture of him, I was just like, holy s---, the guy’s younger than me.
