“Who’s your Daddy?” This phrase has been used since the early 17th century. Now, it’s part of the controversy involving the Mayor of Cincinnati and Brittany Mahomes, wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs game tomorrow. I will explain the situation in a minute. I am uniquely qualified to expound on this subject. I was raised in Cincinnati and lived through the years that Jerry Springer was Mayor. Yes, that Jerry Springer.

Aftab Pureval, the current Mayor of Cincinnati, went next level “Who’s your Daddy” when he suggested that officials had asked Joe Burrow to take a paternity test to see if he was Joe Burrow’s Daddy.

First of all, Joe Burrow is younger than Patrick Mahomes, so, um, you do the math. Second, has Mr. Pureval just jinxed the Bengals? Most likely. If you know the Cincinnati Bengals, you know what I mean. No one in Cincinnati or Kansas City found that Tweet funny or appropriate as pre-game smack talk. What was Aftab Pureval’s response when he was called out? “My bad.”

The Cincinnati mayor’s post quickly became national news with publications such as Sports Illustrated picking up the story.

Several hours after Pureval’s post went live, he tweeted an apology. “My competitive juices and love for cincy got the best of me. My bad. Staying hungry and humble. See you Sunday,” the mayor wrote.

Mr. Pureval is a 14k, solid gold, idiot. Sorry. Most mayors bet food. We don’t have the best barbecue in Cincinnati, but we have Skyline and Frisch’s. I love LaRosa’s pizza, but having lived near New York City, I know what real pizza is.

The Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri was classy in his response:

The diss caught the eye of Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas and Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, who called Pureval’s attempt at lighthearted fun “weak” and “embarrassing.”

Lucas agreed with Brittany Mahomes and said he’ll let the Chiefs do the talking on the football field this weekend. “No need to respond. KC’s got class. Cincinnati has Jerry Springer and no rings. See them Sunday,” Lucas tweeted.

Oh the burn. We will never get over Jerry Springer. It was not just his eponymous talk show. He paid for hookers with checks. And, we got no rings.

The Mayor of Kansas City showed class and a wicked sense of humor in gigging Cincinnati Mayor Pureval. Brittany Mahones, called the Cincy Mayor “weak” and “embarrassing”. Brittany would know. Last fall, she gushed about working on building her house while pregnant, during Hurricane Ian:

Ms Mahomes told her more than 277,000 followers on Twitter that she was still building a house while pregnant with the Kansas City Chiefs’s second child.

The pair married earlier this year and have one child, Sterling.

Ms Mahomes tweeted: “Started with building a house when I was pregnant with Sterling, I am now about to have another child and….still working on the house life is fun!”

Her followers and other users on Twitter mocked the professional trainer for her comments on the same day Hurricane Ian made landfall as a Category 4 storm on Wednesday.

Mrs. Mahomes is as bad as Mayor Pureval at reading the room. Weak and embarrassing.

Fortunately, Kansas City Chief’s fans have great senses of humor:

I have a prediction. Either the Cincinnati Bengals or the Kansas City Chiefs will win the AFC Championship game on Sunday in brutally cold weather. Brittany Mahomes and Aftab Pureval will have nothing to do with the outcome.

The winning score will answer the question, “Who’s your Daddy?”
