Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s career continues to thrive as he seeks his fourth Super Bowl title and first three-peat in 2024. Success didn’t come easily, nor was becoming a football star a guaranteed path for the reigning Super Bowl MVP.

Patrick Mahomes’ mother, Randi, recently appeared on ‘The Mom Game Podcast’ with Julie Dobbs and Emily Jones. She discussed early in her son’s career when she questioned head coach Andy Reid’s strategy regarding Mahomes’ scrambling ability.

“Even the first couple years with the Chiefs, I would say I don’t think you’re supposed to do that, like scramble around, running around,” said Randi, “and he was like coach Reid [said] it works, do it. I’m like, okay, but I don’t think you’re supposed to do it, but okay.”

Mahomes played multiple sports growing up, notably baseball and basketball, with football not initially his favorite. After the NFL Draft, Randi revealed that most of his extraordinary highlight ideas or moments came from playing video games.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ mom wants ESPN to stop calling him ‘Pat’

ESPN was calling Patrick Mahomes by the wrong name and his mother wasn’t having any of it.

ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” crew has unleashed the wrath of Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi.

She’s been watching the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens, which has been the cause of her frustration. It’s not because ESPN’s crew is talking bad about Mahomes or anything like that. They’re just not calling him by the right name and she’s not having any of it.

The new group of broadcasters for “Monday Night Football” composed of Louis Riddick, Brian Griese and Steve Levy have spent most of the evening referring to Mahomes as “Pat.” The issue — Pat Mahomes is Patrick’s father. Pat is the MLB pitcher who played for the Minnesota Twins and the New York Mets, not the quarterback for the Chiefs.

Mahomes’ mom took to Twitter to voice her frustrations.

“Guilty, guilty, guilty,” ESPN’s Louis Riddick said during the broadcast after learning of the Randi Mahomes’ tweet. “I get it, I get it.”

The next time Riddick referred to Patrick, he got it right and called Chiefs QB by the name of his birth certificate. You know what they say, “If mom isn’t happy, nobody is happy.” Good on the ESPN crew for having some fun with it and making sure they get it right moving forward.
