Patrick Mahomes’s dad—Pat Mahomes senior—was a professional baseball player for 11 years. He was a key piece of the 56-win 1994 Minnesota Twins. That team would’ve only won like, 52 wins if it weren’t for Pat Mahomes Sr.
But honestly, his biggest claim to fame is helping to create the greatest quarterback of all time.
Unfortunately, Patrick Mahomes isn’t the coolest guy on Earth so I’ve been reluctant to declare him as the greatest of all time despite all of his early success and knowing he will have every passing record when he retires.
He sounds like Kermit the Frog and Yosemite Sam had a baby and raised him around the corniest people ever. His wife looks like she bites. He puts ketchup on his steak like a serial killer.
But after hearing his dad celebrate his son’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, I am 1000% in on all things Mahomes.

“Joe BURoooOooWW”.
You can taste the henny in his breath when you hear him. Pat Mahomes is about to ask this reporter if he knows who’s next on the pool table. How could this man be responsible for Patrick and JACKSON Mahomes?
In an unsurprising turn, Jackson Mahomes is now a “woo” boy pic.twitter.com/RRwiQSPWZR

THIS family and Patty Mahomes Sr spend Thanksgiving together and you know Jackson spends the night correcting all the antiquated words and slurs his dad forgets he can’t say anymore. Also Pat Mahomes is definitely frying up catfish and busting out a rack of ribs instead of a Thanksgiving turkey. Literally his blood, sweat and tears in the BBQ sauce.
Let’s actually talk about the AFC Championship game
The Chiefs needed this win so we could all sober up and stop looking at Joe Burrow with beer goggles. Patrick Mahomes is the singular best quarterback in the NFL while Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson can all battle for the no. 2 spot but after this weekend, Mahomes is solidified number one.
Look at what Mahomes did to carry the Chiefs to the Super Bowl on a bad ankle:
- 29-for-43 (67%)
- 328 yards
- 2 touchdowns
- 0 interceptions
- 105.4 passer rating
Again, he was playing with one leg. He couldn’t even plant his feet when he threw the ball and he had a better game than 90% of the current NFL QBs are even capable of.
He is about to play in his 3rd Super Bowl in his 5th year as a starter.
And after seeing how his dad gets down, I can finally proudly celebrate that we are getting the first Super Bowl in NFL history with two black starting quarterbacks. I was iffy to include Patrick Mahomes in that accomplishment but it looks like he was raised by Joe Jackson so I have nothing but the black power fist emoji to say about MLKahomes.
Happy Black History Month.
