“As Marvin Hagler as soon as mentioned, ‘It is robust to get away from bed to do roadwork at 5am once you’re sleeping in silk pajamas.’ Chiefs had a cute run however laughable to match them to Patriots Mega Dynasty.”
Portnoy is, in fact, a Boston sports activities nut, and most notably an enormous New England Patriots fan, and Tom Brady diehard.
Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Kelce, and the Chiefs have been threatening New England’s title as probably the most dominant dynasty with 5 Tremendous Bowl appearances in six years and three world championships.
Nonetheless, the trajectory got here to a screeching halt on the finish of final season when the Chiefs had been throttled by the Philadelphia Eagles in Tremendous Bowl LIX 40-22.
That outcome, for now, quieted all Kansas Metropolis-New England comparisons, together with the Mahomes-Brady comparisons. Even the Reid versus Invoice Belichick argument has been put to mattress for now.
Portnoy has now determined to twist the knife within the Chiefs dynasty and declare them lifeless for good. Or at the very least that is what he’s hoping for. Portnoy does not need anybody coming near his beloved Pats and greatest-to-ever-do-it quarterback.
