Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

Anyone signed a percentage based deal yet?
No one has, and owners don’t like it; when is the time to test those waters? Seriously, I can see owners mad at Clark for signing the first cap
Percentage deal, and then Clark says, “well, Mahomes.” And every other owners goes, “yeah, yeah; I would too....” [Reply]

Mahomes can go to the White House and take a fat steamy dookie on the carpet in the Oval Office for all I care. He's Mahomes. Any Chiefs fan who loses even a little bit of respect for his potential decision can go get AIDS.

I don’t care whether or not he goes - I wish more had that position too.

Seriously.

I'd rather Mahomes stay out of that scrum. But, its a free country, he should make it from a personal standpoint and not because Heinz or head and shoulders may drop him if controversy ensues. [Reply]
Going to the White House isn’t even political on the surface. It’s the people observing and commenting that project their own views onto others that make it political. [Reply]

This...It was stupid when players wouldn't go because Obama and it's stupid players don't go because Trump... [Reply]

I don't care if he goes or not, but being invited to the people's house by the most powerful man in the world is a great honor regardless of political affiliation. If I were invited by Obama, I'd go despite the fact that I believe he's one of the worst presidents we've ever had. [Reply]

It's because once upon a time, people understood that POTUS was an office. When a team was invited to meet the President, teams went out of respect for the office, with little regard for who exactly was in it.
Similar to the military; you salute the uniform, not the man in it.
Now there's a lot less respect for the office, probably because it's become almost purely a popularity contest. People are voting not for the best candidate for the job, but because of their race or gender or sex appeal or whatever. Basically for utter nonsense. [Reply]
