1. Go Chiefs!!!

My favorite team!

[brewens]

2. Good call if he's still got it. n/t

[True Dough]

3. That appears to be a "memes" account that even advises

not to take their posts seriously. Are there any other credible reports out there about this?

I'd like to see it happen, but I'm doubtful it's true.


"Kansas City Chiefs memes for fans in #ChiefsKingdom. Satire and sarcasm are common here, don’t take it seriously!"

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Anything Adam Schefter says, take with a grain of salt

Same goes for this "Chiefs Kingdom Memes-CKM" twit.

Until ESPN confirms it, it's probably fake.

7. Too bad.

I will wait and hope and pray it is true. Not a Chiefs fan but a Mahomes fan. This would give me 2 reasons to keep watching them. What they did to him made me cry and so angry. I would so love this.

5. Mahomes will play with a broken leg on crutches

if he has too, he ain't giving up his spot.
He loves the game like a neighborhood kid.

8. Oh so true.

He is a monster.

[RockRaven]

9. The goofy-ass Photoshop job should tip one off that this is nonsense, as expected on Twitter.

[AZ8theist]

13. Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed....

[Bleacher Creature]

14. Adam "Schetfer" is another tell.

[Bleacher Creature]

11. This is fake.

I wish it were true, but it's not.

And if he ever does get a shot, it's not going to come from a team in Missouri.

12. How to remove fake-news from DU?

Sadly there is no alert category for posting fake news as if it's true.

On the other hand, complaining about DU in public is banned, so I suspect this post will get me warned or maybe even tombstoned. sigh.

[AKwannabe]

22. +1

Fake and ought to be removed.

[TheRickles]

15. Next to the photo it says "Via Adam Schetfer". Another reason to doubt it.

[progressoid]

16. You should probably delete this. Nobody outside of this tweeterer is saying this.

[TwilightZone]

17. Clearly a fake.

Please delete.

In the future, it might be a good idea to confirm with another source, especially when "Memes" is in the name of the "source".

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Finally.

[LiberalFighter]

20. Wish he went to a team giving him a crack as starter.

[Mosby]

21. The twitter effect on DU.

No mechanism to stop lies, unlike Twitter.
