Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared a heartwarming message for Tom Brady during the latter’s special evening on Wednesday night…but it wasn’t exactly well-received by New England Patriots fans.

On Wednesday, Tom Brady was inducted into the New England Patriots’ Hall of Fame ceremony. During the ceremony, many NFL legends who played against Brady had congratulatory messages shared on the video board, including Patrick Mahomes, Ray Lewis, and Michael Strahan.

But when Mahomes’ face and video message came up on the big screen, Patriots fans responded by booing the three-time Super Bowl champion:

 

Football fans had the same response towards the Patriots’ faithful booing Mahomes, accusing the fanbase of being fearful, jealous and bitter of the 28-year-old quarterback:

 

Patrick Mahomes went 3-3 in his career against Tom Brady, though the latter went 2-0 in their playoff meetings (the 2018 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl 54). Brady went 2-1 vs. Mahomes as a Patriot, though No. 15 is now 3-2 against the AFC East club after winning the last three meetings.

Brady’s No. 12 has been retired by the franchise forever, and owner Robert Kraft announced that a 12-foot-tall Brady statue will be placed in front of Gillette Stadium this upcoming season, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Are The New Golden NFL Franchise

The Patriots were the NFL’s model organization during the Brady-Bill Belichick era, winning nine AFC Championships and six Super Bowls.

But as Patriots fans are learning, nothing lasts forever. It’s been five years now since the organization won its last Super Bowl. Since that time, Kansas City has won four AFC Championships and three Super Bowls.

It’s obviously not easy for Patriots fans to see their team fall to the bottom of the standings while watching another team (an AFC rival, no less) emerge as the new dynasty. Plus if you’re a Patriots fan, you’re likely cheering against Mahomes so that he doesn’t close the gap on Brady in the “GOAT” debate.

New Study Reveals The Most Hated Player In The WNBA By A Shockingly Large Margin

When you think of the most loved and hated players in the WNBA, top names like Angel Reese, Chennedy Carter and Caitlin Clark immediately come to mind.

As is the case with other great athletes like Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, LeBron James, Connor McDavid and Cristiano Ronaldo, players like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark will have a giant list of haters to complement their massive fanbases.

In a new study, the BetOnline sportsbook recently used X/Twitter data to determine who the most hated player in the WNBA is. The sportsbook looked for negative-based posts about WNBA players, such as “I hate Angel Reese”.

And according to that data, the Chicago Sky rookie is the most hated player in the WNBA right now by a country mile, with Carter a distant second. Clark rounds out the top three, with Indiana Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell placing fourth and fifth, respectively.

Angel Reese and Chennedy Carter received widespread criticism when the Sky visited the Fever on June 1. Carter delivered an unnecessary shoulder check on Clark late in the third quarter after making a shot, and Reese was seen celebrating the hit on the sidelines.

Both Reese and Carter refused to apologize, with the former LSU Tigers star stating that she’s fine being labeled as the villain. Reese was fined $1,000 by the WNBA for refusing to make herself available to reporters after that June 1 game.

Angel Reese Is Off To A Strong Start As A Pro

The No. 7 pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft has not disappointed since turning professional, averaging 11.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and as many steals per contest through her first 10 games.

Reese had her best game against the Washington Mystics on June 6, racking up 16 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and five steals in a 79-71 victory. Chicago will now aim to improve to 5-6 when they welcome the 10-1 Connecticut Sun on Wednesday evening.
