On Jan. 31, 2020, the former Secretary of State of Missouri Jason Kander shared a purported heartwarming anecdote about Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. According to Kander, Mahomes once picked up the tab for an entire restaurant because the patrons of that establishment didn't bother him for an autograph while he ate his meal: Here's the full text of the story: We have some questions about the veracity of this story. The anecdote has all the hallmarks of a chain email. For starters, it comes from a source with no first-hand knowledge of the incident. Rather, it's a story that has been passed from one person to the next. Second, there are almost no specific details offered. This incident happened on an unknown date at an unnamed location. It's almost as if you could swap in any celebrity for Mahomes. In fact, back in 2009 a similar story was circulated about Pittsburgh Steelers' safety Troy Polamalu. A 2009 post on Bleacher Report reads: The author of that post noted that they weren't sure whether or not the story is true, but that Troy Polamalu is one of nicest, most feared players in the NFL.
