Two-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes is one of the stars of the Netflix series “Quarterback.”
The show documents Mahomes’ recent football season, but also highlights his role as the proud father of his son.
When Mahomes refused to sign an autograph for a young fan at the American Championship of the Century, an awkward exchange ensued with another father on the golf course.
Mahomes, who has appeared at the celebrity golf event multiple times, was apparently asked to stop signing so many autographs during one of his rounds.
“They told me I couldn’t do more… I was signing things and they said I was taking too long,” Mahomes told a group of fans.
Despite the autograph signings seemingly disrupting the flow of the game, Mahomes seemed more than happy to continue signing as long as he could.
“I thought we were having a good time,” the Kansas City Chiefs star said.
However, Mahomes’ situation hasn’t stopped one parent from arguing against his son not getting the coveted signature.
“Mr. Mahomes, will you sign my jersey when you’re done?” the young fan was heard asking Mahomes.
The quarterback seemed to respond, saying, “I can’t sign for everyone… I can’t make everyone happy.” The father responded by saying, “Yes, you can… you can make one child in a hundred happy.”
Mahomes then responded with “I’m going to make 99 sad.”
“Okay… one in 99, at least it’s not zero percent,” the father said.
After the trade, Mahomes appeared to be improving his golf game.
Now that the golf event and awkward situation is over, Mahomes is likely to try to repeat himself as a Super Bowl champion.
The Chiefs have reached the title game three times in the past four seasons and are expected to be one of the AFC’s top teams again next season.
“Everyone is motivated by this,” Mahomes said earlier this week when he reported to training camp.
“You must be motivated to start over. When you have that show, when you go through the offseason that I had, you want to do it again.
The Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in February in a thrilling Super Bowl LVII.
Three years ago, Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl LIV.
They qualified for Super Bowl LV the following year, but suffered a 31-9 loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Despite enjoying significant success last season, Mahomes said he plans to do everything possible to keep the team motivated.
“This time I think I’m going to try to push and motivate the guys to keep trying to improve even if we win football games,” Mahomes said. “Let’s not only win (but also) find ways to improve every week.”
