I had high hopes for Mahomes, but this was the “oh crud” (I did that for you, Seth) moment when I realized that this kid could do things we never saw from a Chiefs QB.
To be fair, the employee was probably watching the play on the Jumbotron, but I love the way you find positives and give praise in the most unexpected places. Please feel free to ignore my mild cynicism. :-)
I was an early believer in Mahomes and was thrilled when the Chiefs got him. He looked pretty good in training camp, but this was the first moment I KNEW he was going to be great. Of course, being a Chiefs fan, I immediately became terrified that he would have a career ending injury on the next play.
haha no more! "Because Chiefs" now means something entirely different. As in, they were able to keep Mahomes AND Watkins AND Jones AND Robinson AND Breeland AND Pennel because Chiefs! :)
So glad you’re doing Chief in the North. I’m one of (I think) many female fans who avidly read Pride, Addict etc etc every day and I’ve been reading your stuff for years. Looking forward to get your Newsletters!
How Ramik Wilson would do in a non-Bob Sutton defense? I know you don't always agree with PFF, but according to their grades, he looked pretty much the same with LA (terrible against the run, solid in coverage)

I appreciate the self-censorship lololol

I think he's one of the security people looking up into the crowd!
I was at that game and the view from the stands didn’t even do that trow justice.

Thanks for the kind words and for reading! Be sure to get the word out, we're just getting started here!
Fantastic review of the play. I knew it was amazing at the time but I’d never seen the all 22 - till now. OMG!

Two best quotes from this article:
"But like the bumblebee, Patrick Mahomes cared not for the laws of physics."
(I may quote you often with this one.)"
and
"That’s the type of person Alex Smith is, and Chiefs fans should never, ever forget that."
I hope Patrick buys Alex a SB ring and personally engraves and customizes it .....then don’t tell anyone he did it. I think that would be so cool !
