I have a hypothesis re: Allen that checks a couple boxes

[Simon]

 

Haley is pregnant with their first and Josh is going to spend the next year or so stumbling through life like a stoned Alzheimer's patient.

Something seems off. A lot of times our lives affect our work.

If she is indeed pregnant its going to be 18 years of stumbling around like a stoned Alzheimer's patient.

With the money they make, he shouldn't.

 

My ex and I got a nanny and that nanny helped us sleep.

 

They can afford more coverage than we could.

Interesting - Theory would make more sense if they already had a newborn.  At least in my experience, being pregnant sucks for the mom-to-be but at least in the early months, doesn't impact the dad too much - BUT maybe she's fairly far along and/or is having a rough time even in the early days of pregnancy?

[Gregg]

No excuses. Mahomes has a couple of kids, and it didn't affect his play. If anything, that should make Allen happy and help him play better.

It's not even the lack of sleep, extra duties, etc.

I am 100% convinced that having your first child rewires a guys brain and turns every man into a bumbling buffoon from about the 5th month of pregnancy until the baby is approaching a year old.

Can the baby create separation and catch?

Didn't it?

From 2022 - 2024, Mahomes threw 37 interceptions and took more sacks than in any stretch of his career.

Agreed (thanks for the added detail) - It's a very exciting but also extremely scary life-changing situation for both parents

[Marcus Aurelius]

After reading some rather esoteric stuff from Ms. Haley lately  ...

Methinks she is pregnant with thought

Maybe it did. It's hard to tell with all of the Super Bowls he has played in and won. This should be a happy time in Allen's life if he is going to become a dad. With the money they have they can certainly get all the help that Hailee might need as she goes further along in the pregnancy.

What if you were a bumbling buffoon before getting a woman pregnant?

This theory is backed up by pure fact.   Every TV Father is depicted as a complete nincompoop.

I was with you, until you mentioned the one year thing…..that’s when things really got interesting. But that difficult son now has a daughter just like him. Karma, baby! 

 

You can buy help, but you can’t necessarily buy peace of mind. I know there were times in our work lives when our jobs were affected by our kids. It happens.

Science.  Pre-getting a woman pregnant we are buffoons due to an excess of poison in our body.    Post-getting a woman pregnant we are bigger buffoons because while we have one day's worth of poison gone, it regenerates and is compounded by lack of sleep, and the stress of attempting to make a woman and a baby happy.

The next YEAR? More like 10 years (that's my current experience anyway).

Becoming a father definitely made me a bad quarterback. But I was already a bad quarterback to begin with.

The opposite for me.

 

For each pregnancy it was "I need this gig more than ever" and I became focused on job performance.
