Patrick Mahomes' trainer attacks controversial Kansas City radio host over 'fat' jibe
Mahomes toasted the Fourth of July in style as he partied with longtime wife Brittany and a group of their close friends on a luxury yacht over the weekend. In photos shared by Brittany and other members of the party, the three-time Super Bowl winner showed off his 'dad bod' after going shirtless while wearing blue trunks.
Local radio host Kevin Kietzman did not find the quarterback's physique worthy of an NFL starter, ripping into Mahomes on the latest episode of his podcast 'Kevin Kietzman Has Issues' and urged him to 'stop the fast food' - an assessment which has sparked fury online.
Now, Stroupe has responded to the insult on behalf of his most high-profile client.
'Send me your location,' Stroupe said in a deleted social-media post, per TMZ. 'You obviously need attention. If you want to see what in shape is - go make it through a practice at Saint [Joseph] or run hurry up offense scrambling back to back to back plays. You don't have a clue what it takes. It's not a look, it's performance.'
Kietzman has since doubled down on his harsh critique of the Kansas City living legend, claiming he is certain Stroupe did not hear his full remarks about Mahomes.
'Here is a fair and accurate assessment of my commentary,' Stroupe posted with a social media link. 'I don't want @PatrickMahomes to become Ben Roethlisberger who won big as young player and then just got big. I want him to lock in like @TomBrady in his 30's and chase him down.'
Kietzman - who was infamously taken off the air and fired by Kansas City radio station WHB in 2019 for linking Chiefs head coach Andy Reid's fallout with ex-player Tyreek Hill to his late son's drug overdose- sparked fury on social media.
Mahomes has been known throughout his career to not have chiseling abs, yet, being effective enough to guide the Chiefs to seven straight conference championship game appearances.
'Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he's fat. I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna tell you the truth, he's an embarrassment,' the controversial personality said.
'You're a $500m quarterback, you've made all these comments in the offseason that "we're gonna do our talking on the field, we got our butts kicked in the Super Bowl, we're coming back with a vengeance"... Dude, you're fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us, 60 year olds.'
Fans responded to harshly, echoing the comments from Stroupe in defense of Mahomes.
'He's a f***ing idiot,' one user said about the radio host.

Birthday girl Yamashita clings to Women's Open lead despite wobbly round
Aug 2 (Reuters) - Japan's Miyu Yamashita celebrated her 24th birthday by maintaining her grip on the Women's Open lead but it was hardly the smooth ride she might have hoped for after a stuttering 74 in the third round at Royal Porthcawl on Saturday. Yamashita, who had surged into a three-shot lead on Friday with a sparkling seven-under 65, found herself in a much scrappier battle where she carded four bogeys to slip back to nine-under overall. She was just one stroke ahead of South Korea's Kim A-lim, who applied the pressure with a flawless 67 that featured five birdies, while American Andrea Lee also shot 67 to sit one shot further back in third place. "I felt quite nervous today and playing in that wind was quite tough. I didn't feel like my game was quite there," Yamashita told Sky Sports. "Unfortunately it wasn't quite where I wanted it to be today. It just felt like the shots weren't going my way. "This is a huge tournament, one I've wanted to win for a long time, being a major. But tomorrow I can't really think of that too much, I just need to take every shot as it comes and that's how I'm going to get myself around the golf course." Yamashita's troubles began early when she made her first bogey in 24 holes on the fifth, misjudging an uphill birdie attempt before missing her next shot as well to drop to 10-under. The drama continued at the eighth where she found a bunker, though she responded with a brilliant recovery to find the green and salvage par with a simple putt. Another missed putt on the 10th cut her lead to just one stroke before Yamashita steadied herself with back-to-back birdies on the 11th and 12th to restore her three-shot cushion. After two more dropped shots, she then produced a monster putt on the 17th for par with what was arguably the shot of the day from 35 feet after finding another bunker, though she could not convert a birdie chance on the final hole. England's Charley Hull provided some home excitement, storming up the leaderboard with a 66 that included seven birdies to reach joint-fourth alongside Rio Takeda, Minami Katsu and Megan Khang. Hull's eventful day included nearly hitting Minjee Lee with a wayward drive that bounced in front of the Australian just as she prepared for her tee shot on another hole. Hull could have finished with a birdie on the 18th to move up to third but missed her putt from eight feet to settle for six-under overall. "I felt like you had to go out there and shoot a good score. It was quiet with no wind to begin with, then a couple of holes in it got pretty windy," Hull said. "I felt pretty confident. A shame about the last hole, but it was quite a tricky putt down the slope and I could feel both breaks on it." World number one Nelly Korda had a look of resignation on her face when she endured a disappointing 74, her poorest round which included four bogeys, to stay level on par overall and tied for 36th.
