New Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce is bringing the trash talk before the 2024 league year has even begun.
“We’ve got the Jordan rules and what I’m calling, from now on as long as I’m here, the Patrick Mahomes rules,” Pierce said on the podcast. “So, you remember when Jordan was going through it with the Pistons, all those guys in the ’80s; before he became Michael Jordan, Air Jordan, the Pistons used to whup his ass.”
“Any time he came to the hole? Elbows, feeling him, love taps. We touched him. We’re in the head, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, I’m touching you. So, I showed those guys Jordan getting his ass whupped.”
Antonio Pierce already beat Mahomes once
Antonio Pierce has already beaten the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes on Christmas Day. A game that saw the Raiders maintain slim playoff hopes and put the Chiefs on notice that they may not even make the playoffs. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has previously said he thanked Pierce for waking his team up.
“I just said, ‘Hey, beautiful facility, first of all. And I appreciate you kicking our tail because you taught us a lesson. You get complacent in this business, the margin between winning and losing is tiny,'” Reid said.
