As Patrick Mahomes prepares to face Tom Brady in Super Bowl LV on Sunday, the kid in him is amazed that one of his childhood idols is still playing and excelling all these years later.

The competitor in him, however, is thrilled to have a chance to prove himself against Brady on the game’s biggest stage. He’s hoping to help the Chiefs become the first team to repeat since Brady’s Patriots in 2004-05.

“It’s going to be a great opportunity for me to get to play against Tom, an all-time great, the GOAT, everything like that,” Mahomes told reporters. “But at the end of the day, all I can do is prepare myself to play the best football I can every single day I get the opportunity to.”

Mahomes, whose Chiefs lost to Brady’s Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in 2019, is aware of the talk that a win in this matchup would greatly help his odds of one day becoming the greatest quarterback of all-time.

He’s choosing to brush those conversations aside, instead focusing on what he can do to win the game against the Buccaneers. He knows that at the moment he only has one Super Bowl to his name, so for now, he thinks the topic is premature.

“It’s obviously really exciting to hear, but you understand that you’re really far away,” Mahomes said. “There’s so much stuff that can happen in this league and this game that all I can focus on is trying to do whatever I can to win the next game that I’m playing.”

“If Patrick Mahomes beats Tom Brady Sunday, there will be legitimate people who entertain the G.O.A.T conversation.”

Mahomes said he’s always been impressed by Brady’s ability to dissect defenses before the snap, noting that he’s “trying to get to that level” in that specific area. He praised him for the way he’s able to move within the pocket, reset his feet, and still make the throw on the money.

When thinking about their similarities, Mahomes said that he and Brady aren’t concerned with how many passing yards they have as long as their teams win. They don’t care how it happens, as long as it happens.

He knows this game carries a great deal of weight, and he’s thrilled to face a player he’s watched his entire life. Mahomes, 25, joked that Brady, 43, is playing in his 150th Super Bowl, and half-joked that he’s been playing high-level football for Mahomes’s entire life – which is essentially true.

“If you’re a young athlete, and you’re playing any sport, and you don’t look up to guys like Tom Brady, you’re crazy,” Mahomes said Monday. “The guy that’s had success year in and year out, continues to make himself better and not be satisfied with where he’s at. He’s the type of greatness that you strive to be, to be like and to be towards as you grow up.”

Johnny Depp cracks a joke about his severed finger with a fan while signing some autographs.

Hunter Biden is in hot water once again after a video has surfaced reportedly showing him naked with a prostitute, telling her that another laptop of his was stolen in Vegas by the Russians and that they have footage of him engaging in “crazy” sex acts.

He recounted how he was passed out in a hot tub when the Russians arrived. They checked to see if he was alive and then allegedly stole his laptop, ostensibly for blackmail purposes, according to the Daily Mail.

“They have videos of me doing this,” Biden states, evidently referring to the filmed sex he just performed. “They have videos of me doing crazy f***ing sex f***ing, you know.”

The 3-minute, 40-second video clip surfaced online Wednesday. The interaction with the hooker reportedly took place in January of 2019.

“But how long ago did this happen? You said before— ” the woman asked him. “Last summer,” Biden replied.

“I spent f***ing crazy amounts of money,” Hunter told the woman. “I was with these guys. The one guy was, not like you anyway… each night he’d be like ‘there’s going to be so many people here, crazy f***ing party’ and each night it’s nobody.”

“So anyway, and they had kicked everybody out. And they had cleaned up the entire place and they were getting ready to leave, and I woke up,” Biden recalled. “And there was this Russian 35-year-old, really nice, pure brunette.”

“She refused to leave and they wouldn’t call an ambulance and they didn’t know whether I was dead or not at first,” Biden stated. “They checked to see if I was breathing. When I finally showed signs of breath. At first, I wasn’t breathing. I was in the f***ing pool face down and they don’t know for how long.”

It is not known yet if Biden was simply trying to impress his paramour or if he actually let slip the truth about an 18-day bender in Vegas where he nearly overdosed yet again. He seemingly set up his sexual encounter in the hotel room to be recorded for posterity.

If what Biden says is true, it could mean he’s lost as many as three laptops with compromising information on them. That includes the one he left at a Delaware computer repair shop and another that the feds seized from the Massachusetts office of former celebrity psychiatrist Keith Ablow.

According to Biden, the guy who stole his laptop was one of “three guys that were like a little, like, group.”

“The dealer and his two guys. Like, I took them everywhere,” he claimed.

It is hard to clearly hear what Biden is saying in parts of the audio but the Daily Mail used subtitles in their version of the video to clarify what was being said.

The prostitute did not seem to really believe all that Biden was claiming. She told him that if the laptop had been stolen, the contents “would have been out already.”

“No, no, no. Because [inaudible] running for president,” Biden asserted seemingly referring to his father Joe Biden running for the presidency.

The woman asked Biden if whoever stole the laptop could blackmail him, as they did drugs on the bed.

He replied: “Yeah, in some way yeah.”

“My dad [inaudible] running for president,” he whispered. “He is. I talk about it all the time.”

“If they do, he also knows I make like a gazillion dollars,” Biden noted.

“I’m worried he gets the money upfront and maybe it doesn’t do a million dollars, maybe it does three. Maybe nobody wants to see me naked,” he told her.

“Maybe it’s ‘news interest’ and because my dad’s a public figure they say ‘we don’t have to pay you anything because you’re of interest in regular news,” Biden worried indicating that he hoped to get a cut of the profits.

“I think you should just beat him to the punch,” the hooker told Biden. “I think you should release your own video.”

The clip is alleged to be from the hard drive of the laptop that was left at the Delaware repair shop back in April of 2019.

Hunter Biden was the child growing up who took his clothes off at the pool and his parents did nothing to stop him.

I’ll never be able to unsee the Hunter Biden video.

Absolutely disgusting.

When Hunter Biden is not losing his laptops to Russian drug dealers with all his porn loaded up on them, he’s using the n-word all around town. And creepy Joe says he’s never known a smarter man.
