Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid putting the Las Vegas Raiders in a burger body bag. If there's one sports thing that gets under my skin more than anything else, it's teams willingly and inexplicably giving "bulletin board material" to other teams. Especially when the inferior team does something that's only going to get the superior team even more fired up. Like dressing up a Kermit the Frog puppet to look like 3-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes. As you might imagine, Patrick Mahomes has handled the situation gracefully - and like a professional. He already addressed the video (which you can see below) by saying: "Stuff like that happens. Tt’ll get handled when it gets handled. Everybody kinda just lets me play. I mean, they know how I am, so they don’t need to send me anything to keep me motivated." https://twitter.com/RGIII/status/1816586570629046383?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1816586570629046383%7Ctwgr%5Ed8b6627b7f0376f68a583e5fe509e878a8ab1678%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F07%2F26%2Fitll-get-handled-when-it-gets-handled-patrick-mahomes-puts-the-fear-of-god-in-the-raiders-for-kermit-the-frog-gag%2F Pretty mundane answer to a potentially volatile jab from the Raiders. Las Vegas players were obviously poking fun at Mahomes, leaning into the ongoing joke that his voice sounds like that of the beloved, green Muppet character. If they were going to do that, probably should have made sure a video didn't get out. While the Kansas City QB was handling the situation with class, the same can't be said for the KC head coach. Andy Reid was asked about the puppet video, and Raiders players calling Patrick a "b*tch," and Reid wasted no time absolutely eviscerating them: "We don't spend a lot of time here with puppets. We try to do our work and try to get better." https://twitter.com/_MLFootball/status/1816900234485649523 Obviously, the rivalry between the Chiefs and the Raiders has grown over the years. Now, with this Kermit the Frog bulletin board material, I expect Mahomes and Kansas City to come out extra motivated in the two games they'll against Las Vegas this upcoming season.
