'(Bleep) Me!' Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Reacts

In a sense, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and U.S. flag football standout Darrell Doucette don't exactly play the same sport.

And so we mean no disrespect to the latter athlete - who is undoubtedly very good at what he does with his 5-8, 140-pound frame - when we echo the response from Mahomes to the Doucette boast on TMZ that he is a better player than Mahomes.

That response? "(Bleep) me!''

Doucette makes a valid point when he asserts that NFL players shouldn’t automatically make the U.S. flag football team for the 2028 Olympics and that they should go through the same tryout process as other players.

We would even push it beyond that; without even knowing how those Games might be structured, if Team USA is made up of guys like Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, Micah Parsons, whomever ... how in the world will any other country compete with that?

And that - along with NFL teams fearing injury - would be a fine reason to block Mahomes from playing.

But blocking him from playing because he'll get beaten out by the "better QB'' in a guy named Darrell Doucette?

“At the end of the day, I feel like I'm better than Patrick Mahomes because of my IQ of the game,” Doucette said.

And in response, Mahomes - who is not especially active on social media - shared a viral GIF of rapper 50 Cent mouthing, “What he say (bleep) me for?”

Mahomes, along with stars like the Eagles' Jalen Hurts and the Dallas Cowboys' Parsons, and even retired studs like Rob Gronkowski, have expressed interest in playing for Team USA in flag football at the Olympics.

One of Doucette's points is simple and valid.

“I love the fact that NFL players want to play and that they want to come out and compete, but at the end of the day, we want the same process,'' he said. "We have to try out, and so do they. ...

“I don’t want it to be like, they’re entitled because of their names to be able to just automatically be on the team, and that’s what it sounds like from the flag football world.''

That's legit. But Doucette, a veteran leader of Team USA’s flag football squad since 2020, being "better'' than the three-time Super Bowl champ QB? That's not.
