So excited that this project is out. Thankful to the KC Current and their powerful women for allowing me to share their stories.

Our conversation centered around their backgrounds, how they got into soccer and how their hair is a big part of their lives. 🧵

Patrick Mahomes on Taylor Swift questions:
"I know the questions are gonna come and I'm gonna answer them because of how great of a person she is."
There will never be enough said about

Isiah Pacheco's rookie season.
It may not be the most legendary stat wise but his impact on the team as a whole is tremendous.
#Chiefs
Isiah Pacheco was already the life of the party when they played his song 'I Just Wanna Rock'.
Then it looked like he found some friends in the crowd that he brought on stage with him.
A grand ole time for him.
Frank Clark said Andy Reid is a real father figure to him since he lost his own father in a house fire a few years ago.
Said he spends a lot of time with Andy and their conversations have brought them real close.

A question about the Big 12 as a basketball conference got
#KStateMBB
Jerome Tang on a rant about Big 12 basketball.
I can hear this sound in the next promo already.
#Chiefs
Chris Jones started off with a funny remark but ended with why he always wanted to be in Kansas City.
Now he's a two-time Super Bowl champ with a new contract coming after this year.
JuJu Smith-Schuster talking about how he, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and MVS all played Warzone this past Friday and it helped them today.
Also said he needs to get on his Madden X-Factor like Mahomes.
Mahomes also chimes in with how he isn't as good as JuJu at COD.
#Chiefs
Asked
#Chiefs
safety Justin Reid about what he would've done differently against Cincinnati if he played with KC last year.
His words show just how motivated the team is about beating the
#Bengals
.
His words about Tee Higgins: "I'm gonna lock him down."
Class is overrated.
When you win it all, you can stunt. Angel Reese ain't a villain, she not classless, she's a star and a champion. Respect her as such.
#Chiefs
TE Travis Kelce said he's ready for Bills Mafia to throw snowballs at the team...
"I grew up in Cleveland.. we were throwing beer bottles at people.."
#Chiefs
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire told Mahomes last week he barely drops passes so give him the ball.
"You throw the ball up, I promise I'm gonna come down with it no matter the situation," he told Mahomes at practice this week.
A few reactions to JuJu Smith-Schuster being knocked out the game.
Justin Reid: "We were pissed."
MVS: "Are they really protecting us?"
Isiah Pacheco: "It brought tears to my eyes.

#Ravens
tight end Mark Andrews play with the disease.
#Chiefs
Travis Kelce on Niners corner Charvarius Ward: "He's liking it over there a little bit more so hopefully we can get this win and make him miss Kansas City just a little bit."
#Chiefs
DT Chris Jones on the offense starting slow this season:
"Listen, man, you know over the years, man, the offense been so good right? And we're so used to Pat scoring 30 points a game, Travis has 80 to 100 yards a game. We've been so spoiled with that as a team, right?…

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts said he always supports players from the state of Texas, especially Patrick Mahomes.
He also said he's enjoyed KC and he enjoyed 'Steve Jacks Barbecue' to which
@HaroldRKuntz3
told him is called Jack Stack Barbecue.
#Chiefs
Chris Jones reacting to a question about the Chiefs being undefeated since he's played this season.
He also refused to speak to us without Mike Danna.
Patrick Mahomes makes a quarterback look like the coolest job in the world and Kirk Cousins makes it look like it's better to be doing construction at 3:05 in the morning on the side of a highway.
#Chiefs
Andy Reid on Travis Kelce becoming the franchise leading receiver:
"I didn't give him the ball enough.. what a great player and a good kid on top of that."
A credit to all of the journalists and media that were in KC today and had to set aside their own emotions/mental state to give the people the news of today.
No mattter the outlet, if they kept you properly informed today, give them a simple thank you.
We all are hurting…

Smith was one of the first players to call him after he was selected.

Eli Apple gets some much needed grief from all fans in the NFL but he made a game-changing play in last year's AFC Championship.
In about 15 hours, we'll see if he has the same impact.
Here's Rashad Fenton vs. Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Can't really hear what was said but DBs and receivers always talk trash to each other on the field.

Travis Kelce on Aaron Rodgers' Mr. Pfizer comments:
"I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer.."
"Who knew I'd get into vax wars with Aaron Rodgers? Mr. Pfizer against the Johnson and Johnson family over there.."
"1,000% fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer."
Veach said the

Rashee Rice's attorney Royce West: "Why don't you do a story of who he is, as opposed to what occurred? Because it seems as though what you're saying is based on this one incident, you're going to define him based on this incident, as opposed to his entire body of work.…

HC Andy Reid on Travis Kelce:
"I wasn't sure where we were going at halftime.... pretty tough kid.."
"I wasn't clear until he came out and told me.. he said 'just give me a minute, I'll get this thing right'.."

Justyn Ross.
He called his first hit in full pads in more than a year: “beautiful.”
Also said he deleted Twitter, so he sees not much of the hype.
Even in a loss,

Sternberg is part of the pack that followed HC Dennis Gates from Cleveland State to Columbia and he and D'Moi Hodge explain how the…
