Patrick Mahomes calls out ex-teammate for supporting Yankees over Royals in ALDS: 'He might have to move'

The Kansas City Chiefs will play the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, and Patrick Mahomes is hoping to have a big game. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes discuss the potential for Mahomes to break out.

The New York Yankees will play the Kansas Royals in the postseason for the first time in 44 years when they meet in the ALDS. It's set to be such a big showdown, that it may cause a rift between the quarterback of the defending NFL champion Kansas City Chiefs and a teammate he once won a Super Bowl with. 

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes mocked his former teammate Gherig Dieter for his Yankees fandom on Thursday. Dieter played wide receiver for Kansas City from 2017-2021 and helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl LIV in February 2020. Mahomes, who is a part owner of the Royals, was asked if he would supply tickets for the games set to be played in Kansas City to Dieter, who is a known Yankees fan, during the Chiefs' team press conference on Thursday. 

"I'll let him be there because when we hopefully win, I'll get to talk trash," Mahomes answered. "He's a big Yankees fan, I think if the Yankees lost this series, he might have to move cities. So let's see if we can do that for him."

Mahomes Sr. famously had some of his best seasons in New York, but with the Mets in 1999 and 2000. He went 8–0 in the 1999 season during 39
