On April 25th, 2017— two days before the 2017 NFL Draft— @PatrickMahomes came to NYC to appear on @gmfb in studio.
“If the other team scores with 13 seconds left…”
This was eerily prescient. A wild trip down memory lane. Enjoy. @nflnetwork@ArrowheadPride
🫣 Here is where my brain went on this meme picture. I’ve been yelled at by so many people in my career as a pharmacist/ intern, it’s sad. Patients, physicians, nurses, other pharmacy professionals, etc.
Not that I did something and deserved to be yelled at, more like I just happen to 🎯 pick up that phone or be at that register that day. Am sure literally every pharmacy professional can relate.
One time a lady even tried to bite me. True story. I managed to avoid her.
It has been a while since anyone yelled my way, so that is a nice thing I guess.
Lesson? Don’t take it personal. It’s not okay, but usually it’s not your fault when people act out of frustration.
the scariest part about this Super Bowl?
this was supposed to be the year to knock off the Chiefs
Mahomes was most expensive cap hit in NFL at $37M
his OL was weakened
his WR1 was a rookie
they were forced to play SIX STRAIGHT GAMES at a REST DISADVANTAGE weeks 12-17, the ONLY time a team had to do that in NFL history
they had to play in Germany
they didn't get a 1st round bye
they had to play on the road in the Divisional Round as an underdog
they had to play on the road in the Conference Championship round as an underdog
they were underdogs in the Super Bowl and were losing by double digits
it was the TOUGHEST PATH to a Super Bowl based on strength of opponent faced EVER
and they STILL won the Super Bowl
1) Gotta be said: Travis Kelce is putting on a boyfriending clinic in supporting a strong woman this week - every question session is about her, he’s smiling through it all, not spilling ANY tea, deferential but grateful, admiringly complimentary, never losing his cool.
A key to steady progress is prioritizing goals over moods.
Whether you aim to get in shape, learn the guitar, or write a book, the question is not whether you feel like it today. It's who you want to become tomorrow.
Enthusiasm fluctuates. Consistent action accumulates.

You play the schedule in front of you. But the Chiefs have had a rough go of the scheduling the last month or so. We knew this when the schedule was released and Warren Sharp had a great write up on it back in May.
The Chiefs badly need this week to rest & prepare for another deep playoff run.
It’s worth noting that the last few years, we have been on the plus side in net rest.

Veach, Reid and Hunt have squandered a year of Mahomes’ prime. Not enough continuity or talent around him on offense. He went god mode last year and carried a team that shouldn’t have won a Super Bowl. The brass expected him to repeat that miracle. It was unreasonable.
