Gets It: Patrick Mahomes Brought A TV To Training Camp For The First Time In His Career Just So He Can Play College Football 25

Everyone wondering how the best football player on the planet gets ready for another season? It's simple. Go to training camp, avoid your shithead brother and fire up some College Football 25 with the boys. Obviously he plays with Texas Tech, but gotta wonder how he plays the game. Is he a gunslinger like real life? Does he even attempt to run the ball? The man played under Kliff at Tech, they were launching that sucker all over the place. That's gotta be all Mahomes knows. 

Look, this is just smart. Mahomes announced he's having his third kid. I don't care how rich you are, the moment you become outnumbered you lose something - it could be College Football 25 game time. You gotta get in as much as possible right off the bat. No better place for it than training camp too. It's not like he's in some sort of competition. Hell, what he does in the regular season barely matters. As long as the Chiefs are in the playoffs they feel like the favorite if he's healthy. We saw that come true last year and there's no reason to say otherwise for now. So fire up the game, get in a dorm room with the fellas and get competitive that way. It's what we all did back in the day and it warms my old heart seeing it come true again. 

I can't believe I've seen people say oh it's just a game, why does it even matter? It's been a decade! You remember people freaking out over how long it took TV shows to get to the next season. Nothing compared to this. There was no decade long break in Game of Thrones or House of Dragon or anything like that. We waited forever for this game to come out and it's delivered. If Mahomes is carrying his TV around, every single man in the country should be doing the same.
