Patrick Mahomes read a ‘Mean Tweet’ that eerily foreshadowed Chiefs’ barbershop COVID scare

On Wednesday, we learned some crazy new details about the Kansas City Chiefs’ COVID scare that landed two players on the COVID-reserve list ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl LV.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the barber — who was scheduled to cut hair for over 20 Chiefs players and staff — was pulled from the job mid-haircut when a positive test result came in for the coronavirus. This barber was cutting center Daniel Kilgore’s hair at the time, but Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was also scheduled to see this barber.

The image of a Chiefs player only getting half a haircut was hilarious, especially when Kilgore got in on the joke.

But the entire situation hit another level when Jimmy Kimmel revealed the “Mean Tweet” that Mahomes read for the yearly NFL segment (a video that was taped well in advance).

Mahomes’ tweet was about a barber leaving halfway through his haircut.

That really is so weird. The Mean Tweets almost saw it coming.
