Dee Ford says his mom doesn't understand the grind, but his dad does

Dee Ford is quickly turning into one of the best interviews on the Kansas City Chiefs roster. Perusing the transcripts from Saturday's Chiefs camp session, I saw this gem from Ford.

Ford was asked how often he checks in with his mom and dad.

"My mama is mad at me because I am not even talking to her. I said, ‘Mom, I'm grown now. I can't talk to you every day,'" Ford said Saturday via the Chiefs.

"But they'll be alright. I've been seeing them, they have been around for long - this whole journey from the Senior Bowl, National Championship, all of that, to the draft process. We've all been close - the whole family. We still talk. But not right now.

"This is a grind. Moms don't understand the grind. My dad, he gets it. But my mama doesn't."

There's a similar dynamic in my house. Mrs. Arrowhead Pride doesn't understand the blogging grind I'm going through during training camp. She does understand that I don't talk to her as much during this month.
