Radio host Kevin Kietzman questioned the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's fitness and diet during the offseason. Mahomes' trainer Bobby Stroupe responded quickly, defending the quarterback's performance and training routine, and rejecting the claims made on the 'Kevin Kietzman Has Issues' podcast. Trainer responds to Kevin Kietzman's comments about Patrick Mahomes' body and work ethic Kevin Kietzman used his podcast to claim Patrick Mahomes was 'overweight, lazy, and out of shape.' He also criticized Mahomes' alleged fast food consumption. These remarks followed a viral image from a charity golf event in April and a shirtless July 4th photo shared by Brittany Mahomes, which led to online comments about the quarterback's so-called 'dad bod.' Bobby Stroupe, Mahomes' longtime trainer of over 20 years, pushed back. He said on social media that Kietzman's criticism was attention-seeking and did not reflect Mahomes' true conditioning. 'If you want to see what in shape is, make it through a practice at Saint Jo or run a hurry-up offense scrambling back-to-back plays,' Stroupe wrote. He also addressed the idea that top-level quarterbacks need six-pack abs to perform. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Kansas City radio host rips ‘disgrace' Patrick Mahomes for offseason dad bod
Three Super Bowl rings are not good enough for Patrick Mahomes to avoid criticism. Kansas City radio and podcast host Kevin Kietzman claimed that Mahomes' dad bod is 'a disgrace' in a rant on Monday after Fourth of July photos of the quarterback went viral as he celebrated with friends on a yacht trip. 'Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he's fat,' the host said on his 'Kevin Kietzman Has Issues' podcast. 'I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna tell you the truth, that's why you hit the play button, he's an embarrassment.' 3 Patrick Mahomes on Fourth of July. Cassidy Kayy/Instagram Mahomes is coming off perhaps the most disappointing performance of his career, throwing two interceptions in a 40-22 blowout loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in February. While Mahomes threw for three touchdowns, most of that came with the game well out of reach after the Eagles rolled to a 24-0 halftime lead. 'You're a $500 million 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,' said Kietzman, who covers sports and politics on his programs. 'Dude, you're fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us, 60-year-olds. My skin is flabbier than yours, I get it. Stop. Stop the fast food. Do a sit-up. Do something.' 3 Kevin Kietzman attacked Patrick Mahomes on his radio show. KevinKietzman/Instagram While the 29-year-old Mahomes does not have a perfect body chiseled from stone, that has not proven to be an impediment on his eventual road to the Hall of Fame. Mahomes has been one of the most prolific passers in the NFL in his career. On top of three Super Bowl victories, Mahomes has won two MVP awards and has 32,352 passing yards. It is not the first time Mahomes' physique has gone viral in his career. 3 Patrick Mahomes at summer practice. AP The quarterback first reacted to the 'dad bod' chatter in January 2024 when 'Inside the NFL' profiled his shirtless victory speech after Kansas City's AFC Championship win over Baltimore. 'Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? #DadBodSZN,' Mahomes posted on X. Mahomes' trainer, Bobby Stroupe, went after Kietzman on social media in since-deleted posts, according to The Sun. 'You obviously need attention,' Stroupe said. 'If you want to see what in shape is — go make it through a practice at Saint Jo or run hurry up offense scrambling back to back to back plays. You don't have a clue what it takes. I's not a look, it's performance.' Mahomes is currently preparing for his ninth season in the league.
