Raiders mock Patrick Mahomes with Kermit doll, trainer issues threat

admin

The Raiders have already reignited their bitter rivalry with the Chiefs. 

A Las Vegas football fan handed a Kermit the Frog doll to Trey Taylor at training camp on Thursday, and the defensive back proceeded to parade the Muppets character around. 

The Kermit doll was dressed in Mahomes’ jersey, and even sported a head of brown curly locks resembling the star quarterback’s hair. 

In a viral clip, Taylor held the puppet up to the camera and moved its mouth, saying ‘I’m Patrick,’ in a high-pitched voice. 

The three-time Super Bowl winner’s voice has long been compared to the iconic TV character, who speaks in a raspy tone.

Although Mahomes didn’t publicly address the diss, his personal trainer, Bobby Stroupe, shared a threatening three-word response on X.

‘We will remember,’ he tweeted. 

The 28-year-old has been asked about comparisons to Kermit throughout his career, and was even asked to do an impression before the Super Bowl in February. 

‘I’m talking right now, that’s it,’ Mahomes said in a press conference. 

He previously told reporters that ‘people have been making fun of’ him his entire life. 

‘I’ve gotten used to it, it’s like the joke that keeps giving. I’ve heard it all, jokes about Kermit the Frog or about smoking cigarettes,’ he said. 

‘It’s unique, so maybe I’ll get a deal from having that unique voice.’

Kansas City suffered an upset at the hands of the Raiders on Christmas Day last year, however Mahomes’ team ultimately got the last laugh when they claimed their second Super Bowl in a row.  

The rivals will meet for the first time in 2024 in Las Vegas for a Week 8 matchup.
