Patrick Mahomes body shamed ahead of NFL 2025 season trainer Bobby Stroupe fires back with brutal response
A new controversy has popped up around NFL star Patrick Mahomes just days after he returned to training for the 2025 season. A Kansas City radio host made surprising comments about the quarterback's body after shirtless photos of Patrick Mahomes surfaced online.
The comments quickly spread on social media and sparked debate. While fans mostly laughed it off, someone very close to Patrick Mahomes didn't take it lightly. The person who trains him every day stepped in to defend the star quarterback, and what he said caught everyone's attention.
What bdid Patrick Mahomes's trainer Bobby Stroupe responds on X after viral body comments
On Monday, July 8, 2025, Kansas City-based radio host Kevin Keitzman commented on Patrick Mahomes's body after seeing his shirtless photos online. During his segment, he said Patrick Mahomes looked
'fat'
and focused on a small love handle seen in the photo.
The segment from his radio show went viral immediately, with many saying the comments were ridiculous.
Patrick Mahomes is an athlete 28 years old, and he's led the Kansas City Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles, so he can be considered one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. Most fans shrugged off the statement, saying that Patrick Mahomes proves himself when he plays the game not when people see him.
But Patrick Mahomes's personal trainer, Bobby Stroupe, didn't stay silent. He posted on X (formerly Twitter), writing:

You obviously need attention. If you want to see what in shape is, go make it through a practice at training camp 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.'
The post was later deleted, but not before fans took screenshots and shared it widely.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: 'Something I can tell my son when he is grown up' Jasprit Bumrah on getting name on Lord's Honours Boards
Jasprit Bumrah earned his name on the Lord's Honours Boards after a five-wicket haul against England in the third Test. (Image: X/BCCI) India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah achieved a significant milestone by securing his place on the Honours Boards after claiming a five-wicket haul against England in the ongoing third Test match of the five-match series at Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Friday. His exceptional bowling performance helped India restrict England to 387 runs in their first innings, while India finished Day 2 at 145/3. Bumrah's journey to the five-wicket haul began on the opening day when he dismissed Harry Brook. He continued his impressive form on the second day, claiming four more crucial wickets including Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, and Jofra Archer, completing his fifer and earning his place on the prestigious Lord's Honours Boards. In a video shared by the BCCI, Bumrah returned to the dressing room with hugs all around. He then signed a pair of shoes for the Lord's museum. Speaking to BBC Test Match Special in the UK, Bumrah said, "It feels really special because we don't come here very often. We don't play a lot of Test matches here. We come here maybe every four years. So you never know how many matches you'll get to play here. As a child, you've seen a lot of Test cricket played here. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo So now being on the honours board feels good." Instead of excessive celebrations after reaching the milestone, Bumrah opted to go about his business. He later revealed he is taking it one game at a time and saving those stories for his son Angad's grown-up years. 'Reality is I was tired. I can't jump around like a 21-year-old. I was happy that I contributed. The name on the Honours board feels good. It is something I can tell my son about when he is grown up,' said Bumrah who was rested for the Edgbaston Test due to workload management. The Indian bowling attack showed a collective effort with Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Kumar Reddy supporting Bumrah with two wickets each. Siraj removed Jamie Smith (51) and Brydon Carse (56), while Reddy dismissed England's opening pair of Zak Crawley (18) and Ben Duckett (23) on day one. Ravindra Jadeja contributed to the bowling effort by taking the important wicket of Ollie Pope, who scored 44 runs before his dismissal. Jasprit Bumrah press conference: Hits out at critics, on Lord's Honours Boards, ball controversy In response to England's first innings total, India faced early setbacks in their batting innings. Jofra Archer, returning to the English lineup, struck early by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal for 13 runs. The Indian innings faced further pressure when captain Shubman Gill was dismissed by Chris Woakes for 16 runs, followed by Karun Nair's dismissal by England captain Ben Stokes for 40 runs. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant steadied the Indian innings, remaining unbeaten at the end of day two with scores of 53 and 19 runs, respectively. Their partnership helped India reach 145 for the loss of three wickets. The series stands evenly balanced at 1-1, with England winning the first Test at Headingley and India securing a historic victory at Edgbaston. The third Test at Lord's represents a crucial junction in the series as both teams aim to take the lead. Catch Manika Batra's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 3. Watch Here!

Bella Thorne accuses Charlie Puth of spreading hate against her after REJECTING him
Bella Thorne has accused singer Charlie Puth of spreading lies and turning people against her because she refused to sleep with him. Bella made a strong accusation against the singer in a viral clip that showed singer Jade Thirlwall saying she wouldn't want to collaborate with Charlie Puth. In response, Bella commented, 'Yeah, I mean… he lied to the entire world about me and started a hate train. All because I wouldn't … do the deed with him.' This statement quickly gained attention and brought back an old controversy from 2016 involving both Bella and Charlie. At that time, the two were spotted together on a beach in Miami, and people started speculating that they were dating. Bella had been invited by Charlie to his Jingle Ball concert, after which their public appearance sparked romance rumours, especially since she had recently been in a relationship with actor Tyler Posey . Soon after, Charlie tweeted that he was hurt because he believed Bella had cheated on her boyfriend with him. However, he was reacting to an old article that made it seem like Bella and Tyler were still together, even though they had already broken up. Bella responded to Charlie's tweet on Twitter, clarifying that she and Tyler had broken up 'over two weeks' before she met Charlie. She explained that she and the singer were just friends and that he misunderstood the situation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo She said that instead of talking to her privately, he went online and made it public, which led to a lot of negative comments and hate directed at her. In 2017, Bella also addressed the situation during a SiriusXM interview. She shared that her breakup with Tyler had been very emotional, and that she had only met Charlie twice. There was no romantic relationship between them. Bella explained that Charlie saw an old article, thought she was still dating Tyler, and wrongly assumed she was cheating. He didn't call or text her to ask; instead, he tweeted his feelings and didn't answer her calls. This caused people to believe Bella had done something wrong, and she was trolled online. Charlie, who tied the knot this year, has not yet responded to Bella's latest statement.

Cathy Engelbert's All-Star announcement hits wrong number, blindsiding Washington Mystics rookie in bizarre twist of fate
Cathy Engelbert. Image via: Melanie Fidler/NBAE via Getty Images In one of the most unusual All-Star reveals the WNBA has ever seen, Washington Mystics rookie Sonia Citron learned of her selection not from her team or the league, but from a stranger on social media. While Commissioner Cathy Engelbert traditionally calls each selected player personally, a misdial this year created a story no one could've scripted. Citron's All-Star moment arrived via direct message from someone she had never even spoken to before. Cathy Engelbert mistakenly dials the wrong WNBA rookie, turning an All-Star selection moment into a surreal phone call mix-up During an appearance on Between The Lines with WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, Sonia Citron recalled the moment she realized something strange was going on. "Usually Cathy calls you and she lets you know. That was not the case for me… I was checking my phone, maybe an hour before a game," she told Leslie. What she found was a direct message from Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams — a player Citron had never met. "I saw that Gabby Williams had followed and DMed me, and I was like, 'Oh, this is super random, because I've never met her, never talked to her.' I was like, 'She's not just doing this out of nowhere.'" Inside the message was a screenshot of a voicemail from Commissioner Engelbert. But the voicemail wasn't intended for Williams. Engelbert had dialed the wrong number, and Williams, realizing the mistake, passed the message along. 'In the DM, she was like, 'Hey, Cathy called me thinking that this number was your number. I hope this isn't how you found out, but congrats,'' Citron said. While the situation added an awkward twist to what should've been a celebratory moment, it didn't dampen the honor. Citron was later officially drafted by Caitlin Clark to Team Clark for the All-Star Game, which will be held July 19 in Indianapolis. As Citron gears up for the game and the 3-point contest, Engelbert's misfire has reignited conversation about communication and leadership in the WNBA. With a new collective bargaining agreement on the horizon, players have expressed the importance of direct, respectful engagement with league officials. New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu weighed in during a recent shootaround, noting, 'I think it's important to have real conversations. I've talked to Adam Silver about it a lot when I've seen him… We need to be able to be in the room with Cathy and talking to her and her leadership group about what we want.'
