The Cincinnati Bengals are in search of a second consecutive journey to the Super Bowl this weekend, and of their method lies a well-known foe. For the final 5 years, the highway to the Super Bowl has run via the Kansas City Chiefs. Fortunately for the Bengals, they’ve obtained expertise beating the Chiefs. They even beat the Chiefs in final 12 months’s AFC Championship Game. In truth, quarterback Joe Burrow has by no means misplaced to the Chiefs — he’s 3-0 towards Patrick Mahomes and co. — and he doesn’t plan on beginning this weekend.
The metropolis of Cincinnati is buzzing with confidence, and that extends to its highest workplace. On Thursday, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval launched this video urging Joe Burrow to take a paternity check to determine whether or not or not he’s in reality Patrick Mahomes’ father.
Cringey, I do know, however the thought was there. Branching off from “Who Dey” to “Who’s Your Daddy?” is smart. That’s simply evolving the mantra. Still, it was nothing greater than a innocent joke that shouldn’t carry any monumental penalties, proper?

Nobody wants to hear from Jackson or Brittany Mahomes
Brittany Mahomes, Patrick’s beloved, and the bane of every Chiefs fan’s existence, returned from a year-long slumber just to poke her head out right before the team’s biggest game of the season. This can only mean despair for the people of Kansas City. Any time Brittany Mahomes makes headlines, bad things happen. She and brother-in-law Jackson Mahomes had been each outstanding figures on social media through the Chiefs’ postseason run final season, and what occurred, hm? They misplaced! This 12 months, with each Brittany and Jackson taking a again seat, Mahomes re-asserted himself as the perfect quarterback within the league — he’s in all probability going to win the MVP award — and, after falling to the dreaded 2-seed within the AFC in 2021, the crew earned their convention’s high seed in 2022. Coincidence? I believe NOT!
Whether it’s pouring champagne throughout chilly followers following an enormous win, or complaining that referees by no means “favor” the Chiefs, any Brittany Mahomes sighting means unhealthy information for the Chiefs each in popularity and on the sector.
Perhaps this was Mayor Pureval’s plan all alongside, to make a lighthearted and cringey jab at Patrick Mahomes simply to make his spouse flip up and destroy any hope the Chiefs had of successful. I do know his identify is Pureval, however that plan is PURE-genius…see what I did there? I’m so intelligent. I’m certain nobody has ever made an analogous joke of their lifetime.
That mentioned, I don’t disagree with all of Mrs. Mahomes’ sentiments. Was it embarrassing? Yes. I imply, the Mayor even issued an apology to the town of Cincinnati, tweeting “Bengals nation, Lol. I hear you. My competitive juices and love for cincy [sic] got the best of me. My bad. Staying hungry and humble. See you Sunday. Who Dey baby!”
Was it weak although? Not in any respect. It’s regular for folks to acknowledge a dominance hierarchy when one is introduced, and the Bengals have introduced such a posh to the Chiefs ever since Burrow took over because the crew’s beginning quarterback. It’s not weak to handle a development. Rather, it will be weak to bend to a crew that you simply’ve had no drawback taking down. So, on that finish, Mayor Pureval has the higher hand.
In regards to soccer although, I’ve to provide the sting to Cincinnati as nicely. As I mentioned, the return of Brittany Mahomes can solely imply one factor: Misfortune for everything of Kansas City. I wouldn’t be shocked anymore if the clock strikes zero at Arrowhead and the town of Cincinnati could be heard within the stands.
