In today’s “embrace debate” culture we live in, there’s hardly anything we can all universally agree on. One of those few things is this: Patrick Mahomes is good at football. Can we agree?

In his first two seasons in the NFL, he’s racked up an regular season MVP and and a Super Bowl win (while also being the Super Bowl MVP). He parlayed that into a nice little contract for half a billion dollars. Not too bad for a 24 year old.

Let’s look at the numbers from Mahomes two full seasons at Texas Tech (per Sports Reference):

Now, let’s check out his first two years as the starting QB for the Chiefs (per Sports Reference):

So, we’re looking at 163 touchdowns, 47 interceptions, and over 20,664 yards in the previous FOUR seasons. For all of you math majors out there, this is what we’re looking at average-wise for Patty Mahomes:

TD: 41
INT: 12
YDs: 5,166

Final chart here, let’s get an idea of the average season for an NFL quarterback the past 10 years (per Pro Football Reference):

You’re reading that right, Patrick Mahomes’ average season the past four season is 15 touchdowns, 1 INT, and 1265 yards better than the highest (by average) NFL season in the past 10 years. Simply mind blowing.

Therefore, with all of the aformentioned research and analytics; we are here to say…Patrick Mahomes is good at football.

The Marlins and Cardinals, positive tests aplenty
Cardinals with six, Marlins with upwards of twenty

The list of NFL opt outs continues to grow
The pandemic drags on, and players won’t show
The Lions previewed, what may be the future of locker rooms
Hopefully this and other precautions work, as football season looms

Some non-pandemic news, from the NFL
Patrick Mahomes roots in KC further fell
The Super Bowl MVP, now part owner of the Royals
Ten year football contract and baseball team ownership, can’t say the man’s not loyal

The NBA is back, and in full swing
Full schedule and no positive testing, a beautiful thing
It seems in the bubble, things are going pretty well
The Association is thriving, while baseball is going to hell

Hello friends…please enjoy this week’s SSM on this beautiful, warm Sunday.

We finally made it, baseball is here
Opening week, a reason to cheer
It’s a whole different ballgame, pardon the pun
No fans in the stands, but watching is still fun

We keep adding sports, here comes the NBA
No more scrimmages, real games start Thursday
Jazz vs. Pels and Clippers vs. Lakers
I’m riding with LeBron and AD, any bet takers?

Big Ten football, hit hard with COVID19 this week
Michigan State and Rutgers quarantining, no leaks
The Spartans and Scarlet Knights, have to get it fixed
If team-wide quarantines keep happening, season’s going to get nixed

The offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs
Lost their starting right guard, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif
Not only a football player, he’s also a doctor
He’s decided to treat patients, over being a pass & run blocker

Sunday State of Mind: July 6th-July 12th

Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs quarterback
Finally cashed in, bank account stacked
A contract extension worth half a billion bucks
Twenty-four years old with $500 Million, in a row are his ducks

MLB COVID testing issues, not a good look
Situation unprecedented, they can’t go by the book
Some teams are getting quick test results, some are not
Things keep going this way, the season will be shot

The Ryder and President’s Cup have both been delayed

Quite a shame that we’re losing out
On two of golf’s best events, without any doubt

NBA teams have begun bubble migration
The meal plan for players, not exactly a vacation
Games are set to resume at the end of July
We’re so close to real basketball, the season is nigh
