The Only Way The Raiders Can Cope With Patrick Mahomes’ Greatness Is Making Fun Of Him With A Kermit Doll At Camp

If revenge is a dish best served cold, Patrick Mahomes is about to Arctic kabob the Las Vegas Raiders after this tasteless training camp stunt. Come on, Raiders. As if stunting on Mahomes during a pick-six in the very last game the Kansas City Chiefs played in and lost — true fact, look it up, I did — you're poking the figurative bear even more. And that figurative bear quite literally owns you . And the best defensive counterpart you have to thrust out on the field opposite him is whomever wins the Pain Olympics quarterback competition between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew. RGIII does a pretty good job summing up Las Vegas' terrible fortunes in their recent AFC tilts with Kansas City whilst sharing a video of a Kermit the Frog/Mahomes doll mashup that pokes fun at the Chiefs superstar's not-quite-singular vocal delivery. https://twitter.com/RGIII/status/1816586570629046383 You know what else Mahomes delivers, in addition to words kinda funnily? Straight-up bombs . Off-platform lasers. Actual IRL no-look passes. Three father-f******g Super Bowls in a five-year span. When was the last time the Raiders sniffed the Lombardi Trophy? The closest they've been is vague vicarious aspiration via one of their team's official colors. And close on-field proximity (not in football execution actuality) to the reigning Kansas City Chiefs dynasty. LOL. I admire the pettiness, though. Why shy away from such a lopsided rivalry? For now, the Raiders have bragging rights because they won a 20-14 Christmas Day ugly-fest of a game at Arrowhead. They're still evidently not coming down off the exponential Sin City nightlife high of going from Josh McDaniels to Antonio Pierce — never mind a sentient semi-animated corpse, a hoot of a sweet-scented delight by comparison — as head coach. Pierce is a former linebacker who appeals to the likes of Maxx Crosby and the defense. Because of that holiday SZN gift of a road dub against the Chiefs, these dudes are still Vikings party boat-level showboating aboard their own The SS Lit As F**k. DAMN this feels good. I feel so ALIVE! Writing about football!! In all honesty, I'm hoping the Raiders shock the world and make the AFC West a four-way dogfight. Don't think that's a thing but you get the figurative speech/analogy. At least make your supposed rivalry with the Chiefs feel like a rivalry. If you ask me, Mahomes and Co. knew they had a game to spare and let the Raiders have that one. Precisely so they could build up an over-falsity of confidence just like this, and Mahomes could absolutely bury and devastate them the following season. https://twitter.com/BrettKollmann/status/1816584315209416908 Taking an "L" for just the second time in 12 starts against the Silver and Black won't sit well with the GOAT heir apparent to Tom Brady. Mahomes needs any and every bit of motivational fuel to will the Chiefs to the NFL's first-ever Super Bowl three-peat. Congrats, you Antonio Pierce-coached 2024 Las Vegas Raiders hardos. You're already providing ammunition in abundance.
