Here is everything Patrick Mahomes and other stars of the Kansas City Chiefs said at their Super Bowl 57 victory parade on Wednesday.
To the victor go the spoils. For the Kansas City Chiefs, that mean their Super Bowl 57 win over the Philadelphia Eagles will result in a Lombardi Trophy added to their facility, and the rings being handed out to players, coaches, and more in the organization. But, in the days after returning from Glendale, Ariz., the Chiefs had their official victory parade in Kansas City, their second in four years.
The parade took place on Wednesday, with players and coaches riding on open-top buses. Some moments from the parade include quarterback Patrick Mahomes was spotted chugging beers and tight end Travis Kelce catching an airplane bottle of Fireball cinnamon whiskey. Chiefs fans even stole the show, as they cheered Mahomes after he stepped out of a port-a-potty.
As the parade reached it’s end, the Chiefs reported to the stage at Union Station. Here’s everything that the Chiefs said.
Everything Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs said at Super Bowl 57 victory parade
Head coach Andy Reid stepped up the podium, saying “how about them Chiefs?” Then, Reid praised Kansas City, saying that there’s “no better place to be than right here.”
Mahomes stepped up to the stage with a Coors Light in hand. The two-time Super Bowl MVP mentioned before the season that the Chiefs were written off due to the additions in the AFC West, saying that some said they were rebuilding. Mahomes, scoffing at the notion, said “I don’t even know what rebuilding is.” But the quarterback poked fun at it, saying “in our rebuilding year, we’re world champs.”
Linebacker Nick Bolton, who had a scoop and score touchdown in the Super Bowl, stepped up to the microphone next, and said that the Chiefs aren’t done yet.
“I want to give you all a special shoutout. I appreciate all of your support from Missouri, all the way to here. Like Pat said, it’s just the beginning, and we’re just getting started.”
Kelce then showed up with a Bud Light chain around his neck, and got the crowd to participate in singing Master P’s song “Make em Say Ugh.” Like Mahomes, he scoffed at the notion from “the haters” that the Chiefs wouldn’t make the playoffs this season and that they would need to rebuild. Kelce also declared that not only is the team a dynasty, it’s that they’ve been a dynasty.
The charismatic tight end, of course, ended his speech citing The Beastie Boys famous verse, “you gotta fight for your right to party.”
