Why poke the … frog?
In a video that was published Thursday to social media, Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Trey Taylor (a rookie, by the way) was recorded holding a Kermit the Frog puppet. But it wasn’t just any Kermit puppet, the frog was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey —more specifically, a No. 15 Patrick Mahomes jersey. Oh! And to top it off, the puppet also had the same kind of hair as the three-time Super Bowl champion.
Yeah, this is already sounding like a bad idea, but it gets worse …
“I’m here! I’m here!” said another individual in the background, a reference to trash talk from Mahomes during the Chiefs’ 30-29 victory against the Raiders in Oct. 2022.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, they actually had the audacity to try and troll Patrick Mahomes. Oh boy.

At this point, I’m expecting two things: 1. The Chiefs to absolutely destroy the Raiders (twice) and 2. Kansas City to three-peat with Patrick Mahomes getting ring No. 4.
Like seriously, how stupid can Las Vegas be? And why on earth is a ROOKIE doing the trolling?
Trey Taylor wasn’t even in the league in 2022! (RELATED: Bengals’ Joe Burrow Is Obviously Going Through Some Kind Of Midlife Crisis, And He’s Only 27}
I’m curious to know what Tom Brady (Raiders minority owner) thinks about this, because knowing him, he wouldn’t approve.
Especially when you have this glory going on with another division rival …

You’ve gotta do better, Vegas. This is NOT how you represent Sin City.
