He’s a unicorn.

This is actually 2024-25.

An amazing 60 yard connection from Patrick Mahomes, with Speedster Xavier Worthy, while rolling left, and turning his hips to throw to his right. How PM can throw that far, rolling to his left is unbelievable.

I have been following this on a Chiefs board. The consensus is there is a very real chance of the Chiefs moving to Kansas. As long as the Royals and Chiefs remain tied together in Jackson County it becomes a reasonable possibility. Former Royal and Board Chairman (or whatever title he has) Frank White has been a huge obstructionist to any tax or project there. Kansas is certainly putting on the full court press. I'm not sure how much the nostalgia of staying in the stadium that Lamar built weighs in with the Hunts. Money wise, I don't know if Jackson County wants to compete. If it were just the Chiefs, I wouldn't give much chance of a move, but right now I would say Kansas has a punchers chance of landing the Chiefs.

Kansas officially making their case for the Chiefs.

KAKE - What is a STAR Bond, and could it really convince Chiefs to move to Kansas?

A big debate sparked in Wichita on Wednesday after Kansas legislatures sent a letter to the Kansas City Chiefs trying to convince the team to build a new stadium on the Kansas side of the state line.

This comes after Jackson County, Missouri rejected a sales tax extension to help fix up Arrowhead Stadium.

Marty Yeager and Jim Farthing are lifelong Chiefs fans, so it's hard to find something about the team they disagree on, until now.

"I think it's a great idea. It'd be a huge benefit to the state," said Yeager.

"I really think they're probably better served staying where they are," said Farthing.

They're talking about a letter Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson and Speaker San Hawkins sent to Chiefs owner Clark Hunt trying to sell him on Kansas, saying the state would help pay for a brand new stadium with STAR Bonds.

I honestly think the STAR Bond could work and be of benefit should the Hunt family chose to take Kansas up on it. The amount of tax revenue that would be generated by the stadium as well as the almost certain to be hotels and businesses that would also surround the new stadium should easily be able to pay off the bond. If the stadium was domed or with an attractable roof and able to host even more events would only help generate more revenue for the area. And assuming this would end up out by Legends, it would also help boost an area that is already doing pretty well for itself.

Time will tell what will happen, but the Chiefs are going to have to make a decision one way or another in the next year or so as a new stadium will take some time to get through planning and then construction. That's true no matter where they end up.

This will be interesting to follow.

She reminds of John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) flame, Summer Higgins (Piper Perabo) in Yellowstone…

I'm not sure what you're looking for from the Chiefs. They've pretty much handled this 'outcry' perfectly.

All I care about is that he isn’t burned at the cross, which the Chiefs won’t stand for thankfully. It was Patrick’s statement that was slightly underwhelming to me when I first saw it.

[SHOXAAC]

I defined what I thought if their support, and was not critical. OTOH, you sound like you’re being critical of the public support that the team is giving him.

None of us know what type of support the team is giving outside of the public eye.

In the moment it just hit me that yes, Patrick was supportive. He also waffled on how they don’t agree on some things. I took that to mean some things in HB speech might not have set well with Patrick. Just my take. Not trying to be critical if anyone, just don’t overwhelm me with total support is all.

[SubGod22]

Which is exactly not total support.

Total Support? What is total support? Do they need to say they agree with his views? Do they need to be dragged into the argument, and have a bullseye put on them to give him total support?

Or do they need to defend him, which imo would be to defend him as a good person, a good team mate, a good family man, a good friend? That he has a right to his views (religious, etc)?

The Media during this Free Press Conference didn’t care about Butker’s 1st Amendment Rights.

They wanted National Champions Chiefs “Gotcha” headlines and news that would lead off all of the television and local news shows. Stuff for social media viewers. It’s sad that our media is that way, but they are.

Reid and Mahomes answered the only way they could to not make it an even bigger story.

[SHOXAAC]

Not a total support message.

Andy Reid GOLD:

I don't think he was speaking ill to women, but he has his opinions and we all respect that. I let you guys in this room and you have a lot of opinions that I don't like.
