Patrick Mahomes is not happy about the Kansas City Chiefs’ brutal schedule.

It’s not the opponents but rather the short time period.

For as much as the NFL preaches about valuing player safety, the schedule the league threw together for certain teams might cause a lot of injuries.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ schedule is brutal, as they will play their next three games in 11 days.

Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t hold back when asked about the scheduling.

Mahomes isn’t upset about playing on Christmas as the team hopes to redeem themselves from last year, but he made it clear that “It is not a good feeling.”

“I’m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year, but you never want to play this many games in this short of time. It’s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it’s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.”

The Chiefs head to Cleveland for this Sunday’s game against the Browns, then return to Arrowhead for a Saturday home game against the Texans, and then head to Pittsburgh for a Christmas Day game against the Steelers.

Unfortunately for Patrick Mahomes, there weren’t too many people who cared to hear him complain.

“Does he get paid to play,” asked a fan. “He needs to shut his face!”

“You make millions. Suck it up,” wrote another.

“You’re a highly paid professional. Suck it up buttercup,” wrote another.

Another fan told him not to worry since the refs would be on his side: “Don’t worry, the refs will give you those games anyway.”

“He has a 400 million dollar contract he will be fine,” posted a fan.

“Try working 12 hr shifts every day for 37 days straight, then come cry to me,” wrote one final fan about Patrick Mahomes’ complaints.

Patrick Mahomes Are Riding High, But Next Stretch Of Games Are Pivotal

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are 12-1 through the first 14 weeks of the 2024 NFL season.

They have already claimed first place in the AFC West and clinching a playoff berth for the 10th year in a row.

In Weeks 15, 16, and 17, the Chiefs will play three games over an 11-day span.

The top seed in the AFC has not been secured, so the next few games will prove to be pivotal.

Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.

There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.

If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.

Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:

“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…

Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
