Foolish Patrick Mahomes Retirement Speculation Emerges from Familiar Source

Kansas City's favorite reporter is back at it again.

After his baseless accusations that Andy Reid and/or Travis Kelce would retire were proven false, Mike Florio is now randomly speculating about Patrick Mahomes' eventual retirement. I know the news is slow, but this is a level of exceptional desperation.

Mahomes' new commercial planted a time capsule to be opened when he can openly promote alcohol, leading Florio to ask questions about retirement. It's as nonsensical as it sounds.

Ridiculous Patrick Mahomes Retirement Speculation Emerges

Florio writes, "He’s 28. He’ll be 29 on September 17. And as he gets closer to 30, the questions about how long he’ll play are inevitable...First, the latest Mahomes ad for Coors Light, which has a recent habit of cheekily tiptoeing around the prohibition on active players doing beer commercials, says that the commercial will be put in a time capsule until Mahomes retires."

Like I said, it's ridiculous speculation. Florio then pointed to comments by Mahomes' mother, with her quoting her son as saying he might not play as long as Tom Brady if it takes him away from his kids. Brady played until he was 45, Mahomes is 28. He could play another 15 years and still not last as long as Brady.

Chiefs fans shouldn't expect Mahomes to play into his mid-40s. He's got plenty of time to worry about that. Florio claims we should "expect Mahomes to get plenty of questions about his long-term plans."

No, we shouldn't. The only human being on the planet remotely thinking about Mahomes' retirement is Florio. This is the definition of making up a story out of thin air, and Florio is forming a special relationship with the Chiefs.

When can we expect Florio's article expressing concern over Trent McDuffie's possible retirement? He's only 23 years old, after all. Right, Mike?
