Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman learned the hard way Sunday night into Monday that time flies by real fast and that social media is forever.

A September 2019 post on X from Aikman attempted to tamp down on the hype around Patrick Mahomes as he came off a season in which he threw 50 touchdown passes. By the night of Sept. 29, 2019, Mahomes had the Chiefs at 4-0 with 10 touchdowns and zero interceptions.

The Athletic’s Kansas City X account wrote, "ICYMI: ‘Patrick Mahomes has thrown 36% of Troy Aikman's career touchdowns, in about 8% of the games.’" They promoted one podcast interview.

Aikman fired back with, "iCYMI: Talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl Titles."

Nearly five years later, Mahomes has 100% of Aikman’s Super Bowl titles and then some.

The Chiefs quarterback solidified himself as one of the all-time great players as he led Kansas City to a Super Bowl championship on Sunday, 25-22, over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime.

Naturally, Aikman heard about it on social media.

"Well, @PatrickMahomes now has three Super Bowl rings, Troy," journalist Roland Martin wrote on X.

"100% with 3 MVPs. Oops," SiriusXM’s Andreas Hale wrote.
