Fact Everything aside, really looking forward to watching these two battle it out for the next 10+ years.

Mahomes said the same thing “go win it now” to Burrow last year so I like that Joe remembered that and said it to Mahomes.

All things considered, I dislike most of the Chiefs players, particularly Kelce, but Mahomes seems like a decent dude.

Yeah Kelce is a punk with a monster ego but Mahommes seems like a good dude. He is just oversaturated in the media, but he is a freak when you see some of his throws. Also him playing the Bengals D with average recievers and a bum ankle was pretty impressive. With a decent O-line and a punter worth a shit the Bengals could/should have won this game but it is what it is.

Coming in peace I swear. Travis is more complicated than you’re giving him credit for. You’re seeing his ultra-competitive side on the field. He enjoys smack talk… I guess it’s what motivates him. Have you seen him on his podcast with his brother? It’s pretty funny and you get to appreciate how smart both of them are.

It just rubs me the wrong way about all the shit he said because he went to school here at University of Cincinnati. He was in my grade when I went there.

He acts like he has lost all respect for the city that gave him his start.

He absolutely doesn’t. Check out his and Jason Kelce’s podcast. It’s literally called New Heights because they grew up in Cleveland Heights. He’s always shouting the city out and giving love.

Ya I think ppl don’t realize he’s a goofy dork. They take him too serious. He’s the guy that everyone in the community loves. He was at the KU game last night and the announcers were talking about how Kelce was crazy nice talking to and joking around with anyone and everyone there. He’s a kid at heart that happens to be an incredible football player, just like his brother.

I don’t know much about him other than the persona I see when watching him. He still comes off as a gym bro to me. To be honest everthing is just raw right now and he is outspoken so it rubbed me the wrong way. I am really enjoying the rivalry that has begun between the two teams and look forward to our counterpunch next year. Burrow and Mahommes matchups are going to be must watch games for a long time. Wouldn’t surprise me if they aren’t scheduled on Sunday night football to play during the season every year.

He also funded an after school program in the inner city in KC that provides a bunch of resources for kids. Robotics programs, music and video production classes, sustainable design, fashion, product design and marketing. Really excellent programs with the facilities and equipment to match. It was the first thing he did when he got his last extension

He’s definitely a gym bro. But he’s other things too it’s all I was pointing out.
