Pat Mahomes Sr. had jokes after the Chiefs smoked the Eagles in the second half of Super Bowl 2023.
Mahomes, the father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was walking through the tunnel with a victory cigar in hand after Kansas City’s 38-35 victory. Prompted that it was Joe Burrow who the Chiefs beat to reach the Super Bowl, Mahomes Sr. quipped, “It’s Philly Blunts this week!”
The 52-year-old Mahomes had a 12-year MLB career from 1992-2003. He pitched for the Twins, Red Sox, Mets, Rangers, Cubs and Pirates.
