KC Chiefs players share interesting Thanksgiving thoughts

Just like any large family table filled with various personalities and lively conversation for the holiday season, several Kansas City Chiefs players, past and present, shared their own Thanksgiving responses on Twitter on Thursday to celebrate (or at least comment on) the day in inspiring, interesting and even hilarious ways.

For some, Thanksgiving was the straightforward event you would expect. Just like a proper host for the holiday meal, the one who invites those around the table to reflect upon the reason for setting aside such a day in the first place, some members of the Chiefs organization—and the team’s official social channels—wanted to use the holiday to share their own moment of gratitude and/or call us in Chiefs Kingdom to do the same.

We wholeheartedly agree and even made a list of of our own Chiefs-related reasons to be thankful this year already, so we’re already in the spirit of the season.

Let’s look at what some Chiefs players had to say:

First of all we’re here for this float and the idea of a parade sounds pretty good. We know this is the Chiefs version of the Macy’s parade, but it also whets the appetite for the real thing in February.

We couldn’t agree with Tyrann any more than we already do here—not only to join him in saying thanks for our own families but also that God has blessed him abundantly. I mean, let’s be honest.

The tweet from Tyreek’s Family Foundation is a great reminder of the charitable work done by so many members of Chiefs Kingdom this week and throughout the entire year. From Tyreek’s foundation here to Travis Kelce’s work with at-risk children to Derrick Nnadi’s help finding long-term homes for dogs to Tyrann’s work in the community feeding people this time of year, the Chiefs have no shortage of strong civic-minded players. Speaking of someone who also has a wonderful charity…

We’re glad to see the man himself get a little downtime with his growing young family. This sort of real estate is hard to find these days but the bye week is a great chance to relax. We’re just glad he’s healthy to enjoy it.

Armani Watts brings up an interesting question for those of us who take photos of our holiday meals. Is this wrong because the food is mostly yellow or brown? Is it because we’re all likely eating the same thing? Is Armani against food photography? Is he tired of waiting for someone to take the picture because he’s hungry? We wanna know.

This exchange was our favorite Thanksgiving related posts of the day from Chiefs Kingdom as the Schwartz brothers—ever entertaining as they are—bring up a perfect question. If you need more food after your Thanksgiving meal, is that a good thing or not? The idea of going back for more mashed potatoes and gravy, more stuffing, an extra slice of pumpkin pie late in the day all sounds delicious to us. So we’re inclined to agree with Geoff—that is, until Mitch weighs in. Suddenly we’re wondering why we’re doing it all wrong. What are we missing? Should we stuff ourselves more the first time around? And what time is Mitch eating?

Happy Thanksgiving, Chiefs Kingdom.
