On A Scale Of 1-Jackson Mahomes, How Badly Did Gehrig Dieter Want To Punch Patrick Mahomes In The Face During Last Night's Yankees v Royals Game
Gehrig Dieter gets to live the rest of his life as a Super Bowl Champion. Think about all the billions of people in the world, and how very few of them get to have that title next to their name. Gehrig Dieter belongs to the 1% of 1% of 1%, and he has Patrick Mahomes to thank for that.
At no point in his life do I think he would ever be in a rational frame of mind and want to punch Patrick Mahomes squarely in the throat and/or face. But when sports fandom comes into play, all bets are off. Your rationale goes out the window. And while it may have looked like he "jokingly" cocked back ready to serve up a knuckle sandwich with extra ketchup for Mahomes last night, I'm a firm believer there is truth behind every jest.
We were about 7 more seconds of Mahomes staying in his face away from Gehrig Dieter pretending he had Jackson standing in front of him. Out of all the injury reports to come out of the history of the NFL, Patrick Mahomes being out after getting punched in the face at a Royals game by a former teammate might have been one of the greatest. There's still a chance we see it tonight if the fellas run it back and head to game 4. It's a bye week for the Chiefs so it's not like they have anything else going on anyway.
