Pat never seemed like a bad dude to me but it sure seems like his family is a disaster. I'm just glad no one got hurt because of his drunk driving. I just don't view this as sometbing to celebrate.
if we need this kind of stuff to help us win then we have no business winning.
With the celebration of this I thought I was at Chiefsplanet for a second… 😄 Thanks for bringing me back to reality. Contrary to what some people think Mahomes is a good guy, unfortunately he is saddled with a loud mouth wife, a douche bag brother and obviously a troubled father. Imagine finding the success he found at 23 years old. Money, fame and a media that is constantly wanting to crown him the GOAT. He has handled it all pretty well. He had a couple of outbursts this year, I think most of that was in response to the mounting frustration of having the poor efforts of MVS, Moore and Toney dictate his team's future. BTW I don't know him personally, but I have a contractor friend who did a few months worth of work on his new house. He had nothing but good things to say about him and his wife. He found him very personable, generous and fair in his dealings with him. I have worked for plenty of people with big money in my business and that is often not the case.
Just having money and fame at a young age is an enormous challenge in and of itself, add having a crappy group of people around you - that's even tougher. Like I said in another post, If it was a player who got a DUI, I wouldn't really care cause he shot himself in his own foot. But celebrating over something bad happening a players parent, knowing it's going to distract him, is just odd. To each their own, just not my style.
i know a few people who were born and raised in KC and visit often, he's had nothing but good things to say. That once pat and his wife were out to dinner and no one in the restaurant bothered em - so he payed for everyone's tabs and said thanks for letting him just have a meal with his wife.
now I hate him in a different way cause he beat us in a super bowl. Hahaha but I respect his ability. He's a special player.
