VIDEO: Watch Richard Christy Cry While Speaking With Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes on the Wrap Up Show
“I’m not worthy,” the Stern Show staffer says in between sobs
February 4, 2019
You can call him sappy, but Stern Show staffer Richard
Christy has never been one to shy away from his emotions.
After shedding a few tears in January while speaking about
the hope Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has given him, Richard got
the chance to talk to the N.F.L. Most Valuable Player on Friday’s Wrap Up Show.
Gary Dell’Abate and Jon Hein broadcasted with Mahomes live
in Atlanta from Super Bowl Radio Row and got Richard on the phone to share his
feelings.
“You’re lucky I’m not there ’cause I’d be crying all over
you right now,” Richard told Patrick. “I’m not worthy.”
The 23-year-old football star took Richard’s extreme fandom
in stride and thanked him for being so supportive. Richard even proceeded to inform Mahomes if he had another
son, the baby would be named after him.
“That is awesome. That is really, really cool,” Patrick said
with a laugh.

Despite the Chiefs’ A.F.C. championship loss to the
Patriots, Richard told Mahomes he remains hopeful for another title in the
future. “My dream is for myself and my dad to be able to watch the Chiefs win
the Super Bowl together,” he said in between sobs. “And I know that you can
make that happen, Patrick.”

In the meantime, Richard opted to not watch the Super Bowl
on Sunday in protest of what he thought was poor officiating in this year’s N.F.L. postseason. Instead, he said he watched “Ghoulies III:
Ghoulies Go to College,” a 1991 horror-comedy.
