Patrick Mahomes won over American hearts yesterday for being a true golfer of the people, even though he lost The Match. It just wasn't enough to bring home the W as he was trash-talking not only his opponents but also his teammate as he hit 300-plus-yard bombs.
Buffalo's Allen said he throws up before every football game, ala Bill Russell and a few others. The two rookies lost the 12-hole challenge to the veterans of the game in The Match, a charity exhibition that has seen some of the world's best athletes compete. The greatest tradition of The Match was the trash talk.
When asked what Allen was most afraid of, he said a coin toss.
It's too soon.
The first-to-score overtime rules caused a lot of uproar when the Bills and Chiefs played in the playoffs. The two teams seem to be on good terms and the rules have been changed so that both teams can have possession.
After he started drinking following a less-than-ideal first few holes, the beers that he was pounding back made his play better and better throughout the day.
He said that he had prepared his entire life for this moment. This isn't the Super Bowl.
In his first ever appearance in The Match, Mahomes proved to be a good golfer after shaking off the dust, sinking some clutch putts and coming oh-so- close to singlehandedly beating Brady, even with jabs from his opponents and from commentator Charles Barkley. A classic Chuck.
While his partner Allen didn't add much value to the course, he did use a ball with the famous Tom Brady combine photo printed on it. Brady asked Allen if he'd ever seen a trophy like that. It's good.
