Did Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes drunkenly give away the Lombardi Trophy? Let’s take a look at the evidence

If there’s one day per year where NFL players aren’t afraid to get drunk in public, it’s definitely the day of their Super Bowl parade. I mean, who can forget a drunken Tom Brady throwing the Lombardi Trophy off his boat in Tampa Bay. 

The Chiefs held their parade on Wednesday and Patrick Mahomes did his best to top Brady’s antics when he appeared to GIVE THE LOMBARDI TROPHY AWAY to a random fan. I’m not sure how Super Bowl parades work because I’ve never been in one, but I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to give away the Lombardi Trophy. 

Mahomes was definitely drinking alcohol for most of the parade, so it’s completely possible that he gave away the Lombardi Trophy, but is that what actually happened? I decided to take a look at the evidence and the evidence shows a surprising answer. 

First, let’s look at the clip of Mahomes giving the trophy away. 

I’ll be honest, that definitely looks like Mahomes is giving the trophy away. However, the big red flag here is that this video is from the NFL‘s OFFICIAL Twitter account. My first thought when seeing it was that there was NO WAY ON GOODELL’S GREEN EARTH that the NFL’s official Twitter account would share a video of a drunken Mahomes giving the Lombardi Trophy away. 

Even if I thought that, though, I had to prove it. The first thing I did was scour the internet for a picture of Mahomes holding the trophy that he gave away and sure enough, I found one. 

If you look at that trophy closely, you’ll notice there’s a sticker on it and let me just tell you, there is no sticker on the actual trophy. If you look at any images of the actual Lombardi Trophy that were taken on Wednesday, there is no red and white Chiefs logo on it anywhere. 

Not only do we have that image, but we have two videos. The first video shows the fan holding the replica Lombardi Trophy and about 12 seconds into the video, we see Mahomes come over and grab the trophy, and then immediately give it back (There are several swear words in the video below, so turn your volume down if you’re at work and you don’t want to get into trouble). 

In the second video, the same group of fans are giddy because Mahomes takes their trophy “again.” Not…
