    Kansas City radio host calls out Patrick Mahomes for dad bod: ‘He’s an embarrassment’

    By Matt Connolly pennlive.com

    (TNS) – Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has established himself as the best quarterback in the NFL and appears on his way to being one of the best of all time.

    At 29 years old, Mahomes has already won three Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs and two NFL MVP awards. Still, that doesn’t mean that he is being universally praised by everyone.

    Kansas City radio host Kevin Kietzman recently called out the Chiefs quarterback for his “dad bod” on his podcast.

    “Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes and he’s fat. … He’s an embarrassment,” Kietzman said. “You’re a $500 million quarterback. You’ve made all of these comments in the offseason that ‘We’re going to do our talking on the field. We got our butts kicked in the Super Bowl. We’re coming back with a vengeance.’

    “Dude, you’re fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us 60 year olds, OK? … Stop the fast food. Do a sit-up. Do something.”

    The rant about Mahomes came after photos were posted of him online while on vacation.

    Kietzman didn’t stop there, continuing to rip the quarterback for not getting into better shape this offseason.

    “There’s no training to this man,” he said. “I don’t understand it. He’s not a kid anymore. You can’t just run through your NFL career eating Taco Bell all the time and DoorDashing fried chicken, which he loves. … It’s time, dude. It’s time.

    “He’s an enormous talent, but I cannot stand it when I see somebody just sit back on their talent and not be the best that they are.”

    Patrick Mahomes didn’t have a great year by his standards in 2024, throwing for 3,928 yards — his fewest since taking over as the Chiefs starting quarterback ahead of the 2018 season.

    He also clearly isn’t as ripped as some other quarterbacks in the NFL. Still, he’s been able to perform at an incredibly high level throughout his career.

    Clearly not everyone is impressed by Mahomes, though.

    “I can’t believe that this guy’s on page six of the New York Post, or People Magazine or TMZ on vacation with his family with his dad bod. I mean I just can’t believe it,” Kietzman said. “He knows they’re going to get his picture, and he knows they’re going to post it. … Do some crunches. Do some sit-ups. You’ve got a $500 million contract. It’s your job.

    “I can’t believe he was on vacation with his family and he’s done nothing. If you haven’t seen the picture, I’m just reporting to you right now, he’s done nothing but eat and drink this offseason. There’s no question, no debate on that one. … I just don’t understand it.”
