So far there has been a lot of fun talk about what's happening in training camp and who's standing out and how much we can look forward to when things get going for real in September.
The main main main thing that dominates anything Chiefs Kingdom right now is that we have a chance to three-peat. That's it. It is the best time right now to be a Chiefs fan, really, no matter what happens in the regular season. Just the thought of that, just the rich and meaningful anticipation.
I have seen some things that tell us the Chiefs have the very best chance to three-peat of any NFL teams who've had their chances in the past, you know, the Steelerses and the 49erses and the Broncoses and the Patriotses of the past. The Chiefs are pretty intact, and if anything they've gotten better -- with the addition of people like Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy they've gotten faster.
So yeah, there is all that.
But this factor is the funnest one of all. Just want to share this video from Rich Eisen, and he says quite a bit in this video of a portion of his radio show. Of course he mentions the main reason the Chiefs are the talk of pro football anything today. They have that shot at three-peating. And the main reason they have that is simple.
They have Patrick Mahomes.
The fun thing is he addresses yet another instance when some rankings of some kind, in this case the NFL Network's widely broadcast player rankings.
And sure enough they do the one thing every Chiefs fan hopes they do.
Diss Mahomes in the most contemptible way.
Yes, I write a bit hyperbolically there. They aren't really being contemptible, but the fact is everyone knows the ironclad truth. Patrick Mahomes ranked 4th?
Patrick Mahomes is not only the best player in the NFL today, but he is, really, the GOAT. Suuure lots of people will say they have to wait for him to catch Brady, yada-yada-yada. But they know in their hearts that Mahomes pound-for-pound is just a better talent than Brady was. Nothing against Brady, but people know.
Anyway, again, what is the very best thing that can happen for the Chiefs? Ever?
Again, make a prominent NFL player rankings list without Patrick Mahomes at the top.
One commentator I happen to catch said, something like, he can't wait for Mahomes to throw his fifth touchdown pass of a game and then hold his hand in front of him and count to four with his fingers. We will all know what that means. In fact, do they play the Dolphins this year? Maybe it will be that game, because Tyreek Hill was named No. 1 on that NFL Network list.
Nothing against Tyreek, he was terrific as a Chief, he is doing wonderfully for the Dolphins, and we got a nice haul in the draft from his trade.
But yeah... Can't wait till September.
