He got butthurt that he couldn’t participate in the pregame football show that was filmed at the same building his show was. He tried to offend management, usually doesn’t turn out that they are the ones ending up offended. [Reply]
I think all these little point/counterpoint shows are staged. You get one person on each side of the argument to get ratings because there’s a 100% chance that at least one of them will look like a complete buffoon. You’re telling me that Skip Bayless loves this guy as a draft pick, but now thinks he’s overrated after winning MVP in his first year and Super Bowl MVP in his second. A few year ago Skip was a diehard Bronco fan and now he’s a diehard Patriots and Cowboys fan, conveniently taking the side of the popular bandwagon team. He’ll probably change over to being a Chiefs fan if we win it again next year. [Reply]

Skip grew up in Oklahoma City and worked for the Dallas newspaper early in his career. He is hardly a bandwagon fan. He’s a pompous douche but his Cowboy love is long-standing. [Reply]

Lamar vs. Pat is not a good rivalry; at least not for Mahomes. Lamar isn't going to push Pat to be a better QB.
A much better rivalry would be Mahomes vs. Wilson. Except Wilson is in the NFC, so they won't see each other very often.
Actually, when you look at it, there aren't that many really good QBs in the AFC right now, with Brady in his twilight seasons.
Deshaun might've been that QB, except he got saddled with BoB, which has definitely stunted his growth, and now it's Mahomes that is the obviously better QB between the two. [Reply]
