Me Versus Patrick Mahomes – Who’s Winning?

Hey, hey, hey! We’ve got a Super Bowl this weekend. (This is the only weekend it actually makes sense for me to say this, even though I say it every weekend.) There are a lot of interesting storylines going into the game on Sunday, but there is one, in particular, that is of most interest to me: 

Patrick Mahomes and I are the same age. 

Everyone is talking about it. And by everyone I mean me. I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the last two weeks. Who has accomplished more in their first 25 years of life? Me, or Patrick Mahomes? Let’s break down both of our resumes. 

First, let’s talk about our esteemed guest, Patrick Mahomes. 

Mahomes has:

Won a Super Bowl 

Won Super Bowl MVP 

Won regular-season MVP 

Made 3 Pro Bowls 

Made two All-Pro teams  

Signed a $500 million contract 

And most importantly, is the star of several State Farm commercials. 

Next, let’s talk about me, Steven “not Patrick Mahomes” Peeler. 

I have: 

Watched 20 Super Bowls 

Worked in retail

Had one of my TikTok’s get 80 likes

Grown a beard

Turned off the Pro Bowl every year 

Lost over 500 million pairs of headphones

Driven by several State Farm offices 

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Mahomes has me beat right now. But, this is just the beginning. I very well might have the upper-hand 25 years from now. Maybe I’ll win a Super Bowl! Will it be as a player? Of course not. Perhaps I could work for a team that wins the Super Bowl. Maybe that team will beat Mahomes in the Super Bowl! And then Mahomes and I will find each other on the field after the game. We’ll shake hands and he’ll say to me, “congrats man. You’re now officially better than me.” He then pulls out a few bags of money. “Here’s $100 million dollars. You totally deserve it. Oh, I also have this ‘I’m officially cooler than Patrick Mahomes’ sticker that you can have.” He then flys away in his own personal spaceship, because this is the future, and everyone has one. 

Overall, the battle between Mahomes and I is still in the early stages. After round 1, he definitely has the advantage. But when I write the follow-up to this article 25 years from now (by using my brain to directly type instead of using my fingers, because again, the future) I’m confident that I will be in the lead.

…or Mahomes will have won 10 Super Bowls and he was so dominant that the NFL decided that no one could ever top him and they decided to fold the league.

Steven Peeler was born on a cold, snowy night in January of 1996. This has nothing to do with him becoming a writer, he just likes to tell people that. Steven predominately grew up in the Portland area, where he played football, and baseball as a kid. He attended college at Portland State University, where he received his degree in advertising. He is currently looking for a job, so if any of you nice people reading this are looking to hire someone, why not hire Steven? He’s a nice, punctual, young man who always says please and thank you. Plus, he was born on a cold, snowy night.
