Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes supports Austin Rivers’ NBA vs. NFL take

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes weighed in on a debate about the differences between NBA and NFL players, | @EdEastonJr

The sports comment heard worldwide occurred on a recent Pat McAfee show episode with a former pro basketball player. Austin Rivers played eleven years in the NBA before moving to an analyst role at the start of this season, and he’s already made an impression that players from two leagues, including the Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback, are debating.

During his appearance on the former Pro Bowl punter’s popular ESPN show, Rivers shared his thoughts on the adaptability of NBA and NFL players.

“I can take 30 players right now in the NBA and throw them in the NFL,” said Rivers. “You cannot take 30 NFL players and put them in the NBA.”

The quote has opened the door for players from both sports to look at the comments, either supporting Rivers or dismissing him. During his courtside visit to the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Playoffs game on Saturday, Patrick Mahomes supported Rivers’ theory.

During the Mavericks’ game three victory broadcast, Mahomes stopped by the commentary desk to suggest that the Thunder’s starting forward, Lu Dort, could play linebacker in today’s NFL.

Dort is a 25-year-old defensive specialist for Oklahoma City. He is 6’4, 220 pounds, and caught the eye of Mahomes on the opposing sidelines of his favorite team. The three-time Super Bowl champion can genuinely put himself in that conversation with his history of playing multiple sports as a youth and confidence displayed in previous discussions with all-time NBA greats.

Mahomes could have been scouting the next great linebacker for the Chiefs while enjoying the NBA game.

Adam Schefter: Vikings and Giants ‘most interested’ in trading up

On the Pat McAfee show, Adam Schefter reported the Minnesota Vikings have competition from the New York Giants to move up in the NFL draft.

The NFL draft is tomorrow, and we could see a whole lot of drama at the top. It’s no secret that the Minnesota Vikings need a quarterback, and conventional wisdom says they’re looking to move up to get one. The problem? They’re far from the only team that needs a QB, and they may not be the only ones looking to move up, either.

According to Adam Schefter in an interview on the Pat McAfee Show, the Vikings could be competing with the New York Giants to trade up for their quarterback. McAfee asked Schefter about the New England Patriots’ position at three, and Schefter mentioned that the Vikings and Giants have been the two most active in trade talks with New England.

Unlike the Giants, the Vikings have not one, but two, first round picks they can package together in an effort to move up. On the other hand, the Giants currently have the number six overall pick in the draft, which could be appealing for the Patriots if they think they can move down a few spots and still get a quarterback — perhaps former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that New England certainly has a need at the position of their own. The Patriots traded former starting quarterback Mac Jones in the offseason and, though they are reportedly listening to offers, may not be able to be convinced to move off that spot.

If Minnesota is going to move up into the top 3 in an effort to land former North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, they’re certainly fighting an uphill battle. One that may prove to be impossible to overcome. We’ll find out tomorrow night!

Bills’ Brandon Beane discusses massive bison being put outside new stadium (video)

Beane is excited about it like the rest of us:

The Buffalo Bills new stadium construction is well underway.

The inside is the feature… but outside of it is getting some attention too.

The entrance way to the stadium will feature a large, very large, bison. It’s reportedly going to be 16-feet tall.

Just like fans, Brandon Beane is excited about that touch. Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Beane said he thinks it’s going to be a nice addition Bills Mafia and outsiders will enjoy.

The clip of Beane can be found below:

Bills’ Brandon Beane: Cuts made were ‘brutal’ (video)

The Bills had to release numerous important players and starters prior to the start of the current NFL league year.

The one leading the way there was general manager Brandon Beane. The GM called moves like releasing safety Jordan Poyer and center Mitch Morse “brutal” to do during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

“That’s hard,” Beane said.

Beane’s full thoughts can be found in the clip below:

WATCH: Bills’ Brandon Beane jokes about not being in NFL GMs photo

#Bills’ Brandon Beane jokes about not being in NFL GMs photo:

Bills general manager Brandon Beane was not in the 2024 NFL general manager photo.

Sean McDermott made it into the coaches one… but Beane was shy. He joked about missing the occasion on the Pat McAfee Show shortly after the photo was snapped at the NFL owners meetings.

Per Beane… he was just busy.

Bills’ Brandon Beane on draft day trades: ‘We’re always listening’

#Bills’ Brandon Beane on draft day trades: ‘We’re always listening’

Bills general manager Brandon Beane has once again been candid when discussing a potential trade at the 2024 NFL draft.

Beane, known to move up and down the board, admits he does like to move upward more. He once again said while on the Pat McAfee Show that his phone is on and he is ready to talk.

“I get antsy,” Beane said.

The proof is now likely helping him, too. QB Josh Allen, tight end Dalton Kincaid, among others, are players Buffalo have traded up for at the draft. Beane said he knows other teams realize that now.

Beane discussing his thoughts on wheeling and dealing on draft day can be found in the clip below:

Bills’ Brandon Beane explains how he approaches a ‘deep’ position in NFL draft

#Bills’ Brandon Beane explains how he approaches a ‘deep’ position at NFL draft:

There is a method to the madness with Brandon Beane.

It has been noted that the 2024 NFL draft class is “deep” at the receiver position. A lot of talent will be on the board and the Bills general manager admitted that during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

When approaching such positions on the draft board, Beane explained it’s a whole system of decisions. Factoring in, naturally, is how Buffalo’s roster currently looks too.

Beane’s full breakdown can be found in the clip below:

Bills’ Brandon Beane thinks new kickoff rules will be tweaked eventually

Beane’s thoughts on the new kickoffs:

The NFL has changed their kickoff rules.

Brandon Beane isn’t sold just yet.

At the league meetings on Tuesday, owners changed the format for kickoffs to promote more returns. Originally the new rules began in the XFL.

The change will have 10 players on the kicking team and at least nine players on the receiving team now line up five yards apart. They won’t begin running until the ball gets back to the returner.

During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, the Bills GM pumped the brakes a little. Beane predicted that after and potentially during the upcoming preseason, we could see tweaks.

Bills’ Brandon Beane unsure hip-drop tackle penalties will actually be called (video)

#Bills’ Brandon Beane unsure hip-drop tackle penalties can be called (video):

The NFL made a huge rule change this week, and many are unsure it can actually be enforced — Brandon Beane included.

The Bills general manager joined “The Pat McAfee Show” from the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday. The banned tackle, which has been a talking point around the NFL after the update, was mentioned.

Beane said he doesn’t expect to see any flags thrown for the tackle. Beane noted he thinks it will be too difficult for officials to pick out in live action.

Beane and the hip-drop tackle segment can be found in the clip below:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter: “Colts and Chiefs have not discussed a deal for L’Jarius Sneed”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter told Pat McAfee that the #Colts and #Chiefs have not discussed a deal for star DB L’Jarius Sneed

The trade rumors between the Kansas City Chiefs and L’Jarius Sneed gained plenty of steam over the weekend. Many critics believed a deal could be completed soon, and they questioned the details surrounding the alleged conversations.

During his Monday appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave insider comments on the rumored trade scenario.

“The Chiefs have no problems right now playing with him on that tag,” Schefter explained. “He wants a long-term deal. So it’s up to him and his agent to see if they can help broker a deal and structure something to get him the long-term security he wants.

“But no, nothing right now has gotten done. The Colts are not expected to be in on him. The Colts and Chiefs have not discussed a deal for L’Jarius Sneed, at least to date. Could that change? You never know. You never know, but nothing, no conversation between those two teams. And that’s where we’re at right now.”

The Colts and Chiefs have been linked regarding Sneed for a while, and even if a deal isn’t being officially worked on, it is still early in the offseason. Schefter made a notable statement about the Chiefs’ willingness to safely move forward with Sneed on a franchise tag in 2024.
