Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, Nick Wright.
As much as I often concur with Wright’s LeBron takes, he’s in the wrong here.
The Kansas City Chiefs have won two Super Bowls in the past four years and made it to another.
They have easily the best quarterback on the planet in Patrick Mahomes.
Sucks that a thumbtack poked all the way through to the other side and caused an epidermal puncture wound.
Warning: Image below is not for the faint of heart.
Props to Wright for pushing through the rest of the segment.
I’ll give him that.
That segment’s entire premise of so-called bulletin board material is BULLLLLLLLLSHIIIIIIIIIIIT.
Look, I’m all for making something out of nothing amid the deadest period of the NFL offseason.
I’m all for this budding rivalry, too.
“Clem covered this in a blogwhen the Chiefs got their latest set of rings.
It was an extremely dry delivery.
Of course he wasn’t “disrespecting” Mahomes.
And you really think Ja’Marr isn’t going to back his guy?
Whatelseis he gonna say??
Burrow himself said Mahomes is the best QB on the planet so like…?
…But GO OFF, CHIEFS NATION!!
And go off, Patrick Mahomes!
I guess that’s what happens when you’re 1-3 as a starter against the Bengals.
Who could forgetTravis “NOBODY BELIEVED IN US” Kelce?
Respect to him as a player because he’s one of the greatest tight ends to ever do it.
For fuck’s sake though, Travis.
Again, Ja’Marr Chase wasn’t being serious when he was “talking his shit” about Mahomes.
I kid you not there’s more.
The other thing Wright brought up in hisFirst Things Firstdebacle/bloodbath of a segment.
Joe Burrow at 2.55 seconds, trailing only Tom Brady.
Guess who was tied for 28th in that category?
Patrick Mahomes,despiteattempting 20 more passes of less than 10 yards compared to Burrow.
Brown’s remark relates to style of play and scheme.
It isn’t some damning indictment of Mahomes.
They get so mad about it.
It’s pretty much guaranteed to draw interest.
I’m just so over Kansas City’s collective overreaction to everything.
New Year’s Eve is way too far away.
That’s when these teams meet on the gridiron again.
When Bengals players chirp, with the exception of Joe Burrow, it’s cheap talk to me.
Calling Arrowhead Stadium “Burrowhead” was and will always be dumb if it’s at all serious.
Do people really think that was a sincere slight??
It didn’t come across that way to me and Mike Hilton totally downplayed it after the fact.
The Bengals haven’t won a Super Bowl.
Their verbal volleys shouldn’t irk Kansas City whatsoever.
HOWever…the Chiefs and their loyalists can’t quit it.
