Speaker 1 (00:04):
Our number three of the program, one hour to our
Thanksgiving holiday beginning from any of you, it probably already
has started. Hope you all have a good one coming
up tomorrow, U and watch a lot of football and
maybe head to the Alamodome this weekend to watch UTSA
take on Navy.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Real quick, I have to know, are you turkey or ham?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I'm more Turkey as long as it's it's more. But
I'm I'm the dark meat person.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm not. I'm not eating the wing in.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
The turkey turkeys over Everythanksgiving it is laised Ham is
the way you gotta go.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, I'm not. I'm not a big fan of either one,
to be honest with you. I'd rather have one year
I made prime rib. But that's really expensive.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I know, but that's that's not bad.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, But like you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Get the whole the whole roast basically, and you put
it in the in the roasting pan and cook it
till it's about medium rare plus and that's but it's
like a turkey and a ham together is sixty dollars
at HIV. A prime riy roast is one hundred and
twenty five. So I'm probably not doing it again. Anytime soon.
(01:11):
The other thing that's ridiculously expensive is brisket.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I like to cook and eat brisket, but man, it's
stupidly expensive.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
What about your favorite sides? Give me like two or
three sides you're You're like, go to I make.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
A sweet potata castrole, okay, And I'll make really loaded
mashed potatoes. They're put the kitchen sink in that. Our
family has done green bean castrole forever and corn casserole
for a while too, so those are probably the main four.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
But I don't try.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I don't eat a lot of that because it's mostly carbs,
and I try not to eat a lot of carbs.
So my intake on Thanksgiving is more is more of
the meat than it is of anything.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Just don't eat anything the day before and then you
can do what you want thanks Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, I mean I do.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I do what I want on Thanksgiving anyway, And that
stuff is all really good, but it's not perfect for
what I'm trying to accomplish.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Surprised you didn't say mac and cheese.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
One year, I made the best baked mac and cheese
I think of all time.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I think it was the best.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
See I used to make mac and cheese all the time,
but the way I would make it was with velveta,
and velveta really isn't cheese.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's fake food. Yeah that's not real cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
And but that's the way I was I learned to
make it.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's for making caeso.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
My my grandmother. Uh well yeah, I'm just trying. Pissed
people up there. Easy melt would probably be in that
category two. But that's the way my grandmother made it.
But I try not to eat fake food, and velveta
is basically fake food.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah it is, it's it's it's it's not real cheese.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And for those of one who know I don't eat
bovita caeso, it's like that's that I'm just trying.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Some people take that offense. But like I used I
used that.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I used the shells that you buy separately in a bag,
and then I used three different types of cheese. I
used cheddar greer, and I use monster. I really like
mustard cheese.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You like slow slow melted on like a.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah slow melted that, bad boy.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And then I used a I use I use a
really good recipe for like how to like for like
how to properly rue it and then I baked it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm not I probably haven't made kso in twenty years.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I like keso. I just don't make it very often.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And if you and I certainly don't eat it at
a stadium because if you've seen where that comes from,
that's worse than the valved. It'll go in quick and
come on faster. It goes right to your barteries. I
think more than anything else.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now, you got me hunger, I haven't eaten. Yeah, I
got some driving a guy do tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, so anyway, that but yeah, that's pretty much. But
I I I'm trying to figure out something different for
Christmas because sometimes we just make the same meal again
and I'm like, I would rather do seafood or some
kind of a fish or that. I may break down
and do the prime riy roast again.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
You know, you know you could do change it up
if you really wanted to. You could do a crawfish bowl.
You ever do one of those?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
No, But I do a seafood boil, you know, with shrimp, sausage,
corned eggs. Well not you can make those. I don't
do those in the in the boil. But it's yeah,
it's and I like crabs, but I'm like the crawfish.
I like crawfish. I don't like the Louisiana style. I
(04:19):
like the tails, okay, but but I don't and I
don't do. I'm not doing crab crabs too. It's too
much work for as little food as you get. Now,
if you want to take me to a stone crab
restaurant where they crack them yourself and it's a really
expensive meal, I'll go hang out with you and do
that once or once a year or so.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
First time, right, king crab was insane.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
We went in together to buy when those giants it's
a king crab like for those don't know. If you've
ever seen like one of those little little league baseball bats,
which are like two and a half feet long, imagine
that full of crab meat.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It was enormous. We've never spent that much money crab before.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was delicious.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
If you ever have stone crab and you can get it,
usually in Florida, Vegas has a restaurant that you can
get it in. There's some places where you can flight in.
That's the krim de la crim for for crab. But
it's again you get three claws and it's one hundred dollars.
It's like going to a high end steakhouse and Morton's
or Uscris or something like that all the time. Now,
(05:14):
I've never done what does John Madden call it? On
used to call it tur ducan.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Tur ducan, Yeah, the turkey, the chicken.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I have had duck, and I've had goose, and I've
had turkey, and i've had chicken, but I've never put
them all together.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, that's uh.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I mean that, I'm surprised to be honest, and I'm
surprised he didn't die sooner than he did. That man
did not have the best eating evits. I mean, like,
first of all, remember that one year when the Vikings,
i mean not the Vics, when the Packers played the
Lions at and Thanksgiving and they had the six legged
turkey first off, Like that was a real Second of all,
like you have to wonder like if they made that,
they had to like used it the cooking thread, which
(05:48):
like the only way that makes sense in that way,
and too, like if you're John Madden, like again, like
everyone already knows she was like the big fat funny.
He's basically John Candy with football, right and he was
just you have to, you have to. It's like, how
in the hell did he live as long as he
did eating the way he did?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, he had good jeans, I guess, But but I
broke pairs of jeans. I don't like dry food and
turkey white meat. Turkey is unless you put a ton
of mayonnaise on it and put it between two slices
of the bread.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'm probably not.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Wait we put andy, no no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I can make so. You can make h.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
May salad, and you can make a sandwich with the
leftover turkey.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But I'd much rather have the dark meating.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
My opinion about mayonnaise that mayonnaise is an ingredient.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It ain't real food. It is an ingredient to make food.
You don't eat it by itself.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, you put but you make a sand you make
a sandwich, and a sandwich you put maynaise on a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Now see, I would use either barbecue sauce or hot sauce.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Mustard, how about that?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Maybe honeymo I like honey mustard. I don't like regular.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I just thought, I just don't want a dry piece
of turkey breast.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's fine. I'm out on that we've been talking about.
We talk about food for like.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Eight minutes only, so we're done with that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Let's get back to football, and the Chiefs and the
Cowboys are the game that I'm trying to have a
figure out what's going to happen tomorrow. I think Patrick
Mahomes is in a do or die state right now.
I think Dak Prescott needs to be in a do
or die state. I think George Dickens is playing for
(07:23):
the contract of his life, and he knows there's one
coming and it's either going to be with the Cowboys
or somebody.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Else, but he is going to get paid.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And right now, I think he's just as good of
a receiver as Ceedee Lamb is, although CD has the
bigger deal and likely will continue to have the bigger deal,
but Ceedee Lamb is disgusted more than himself. I heard
a quote from him the other day where he said,
I I don't I know what the problem is. I
need to catch the ball. And he's got the drops
(07:53):
this year a lot more than he would like for
being a number one receiver, But certainly having Pickens on
the other side or a part of that wide receiver
room makes for the Cowboys offense to run more efficiently.
I just trust Mahomes more than I do Dak yet,
and I think Dak's a great quarterback and very underrated.
(08:13):
I guess i'd tristrust that Kansas City's receivers will catch
the ball if Mahomes puts it in the vicinity. And
I'm not sure if Dak Prescott will put it in
the vicinity, And if he does or doesn't, will his
guys catch the ball? So those are the kind of
the two things that I'm looking at in this game.
(08:35):
And I'm just I'm just not sure about the Cowboys.
They've had a couple of weeks of good. Now they
got us. Can they live with prosperity? Where the Chiefs
are coming off a week of good and we normally
know that they do live with prosperity and play their
best as we get past Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Andy, I think you look a little past what like
the Chiefs are is This year for Patrick Mahomes, He's
had having a career worst year. He has having the
lowest completion percentage of his career, lowest overall QBR lowess
success rate. He's at forty nine point four success rate
per play that's the lowest of his career.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Now, because here's my thought on this.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
If he doesn't start basically run the table, they're not
making a playoffs. They might not make the playoffs even
if they win on Thursday. No, I'm not talking about
just Thursday. I'm talking about the rest of the season.
They have to be Yeah, I think they may have
one Mulligan left, but with six games to go, I
think they got to go five and one, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I think that's what I think.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
They have six lefts, so I think they have to
go five and one or they're not making the playoffs,
which would not be a bad thing because the Chiefs
need I think the Chiefs defense is okay, Maybe they
need one more player somewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The defense has got them out of some hole.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, but the Kelsey's going to retire, so you're going
to have to replace him. I mean, I can't imagine
he's coming back for another year. And you need to
get a stud tight end because that's what Mahomes is
comfortable with. They need a running back. Pa Checko is
is okay, but time hunts. I think over the hill
and the receiving core that they've got Rice is good
(10:05):
Worthy's good, Hollywood Brown is good. But I don't know
that any one of them is great. They have three
good ones they have they don't have so in the
in the draft, I think they need to go wide receiver,
tight end, wide receiver, and maybe another offensive lineman as
well to get that offense back to Pat Mahomes standards.
Pat Mahomes hasn't lost lost his ability to play quarterback.
(10:29):
He's lost the ability to have guys that he trusts
that are going to complete the throws that he makes.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I don't think Mahomes is going to run down the
field on a bad leg like he did the last
several years. I think those days are numbered, are over.
But he can do things other than that that make
for a successful quarterback in the Chiefs legacy to continue.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, but Andy, I also think that Patrick Mahomes he
gets to live on the legacy he's built for himself
that people have to have ignored.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He has struggled this year.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
He has thrown more turnover worthy throws at any point
in his career. This is and that's the one thing.
The Cowboys defense has not created a lot of turnovers.
What their new front seven does with the linebackers in rotation,
and that defensive line has is taken away a team's
ability to run the ball. Now, the Chiefs were an
average running team as it was even going to the
Colts game, even with Isaiah Pacheco back, without Trey Smith,
(11:18):
who is I think their highest graded run blocker, if
I'm not mistaken, he's out for this game. So right
now you're already down one of your best offensive linemen,
even with the running back coming back. That you have
a hard time running the ball as is, So now
are you asking Patrick Mahomes to just air it out?
The Cowboys defense has struggled this year, but the secondary
has looked a lot better in the last two weeks.
Last week, I understand that they gave up. They go
(11:40):
up twenty one points in the first half. That was
primarily because the offense put him in bad situations. I
think in this game that I think that the defense
as is constructed is much better it was not two
weeks ago, to the point that I think it can
hold this Chiefs offense, which is old and beat up,
down one of its best players. And as much as
it you know, I love and respect Patrick Mahomes, he
is not the same guy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I think Patrick Mahomes has a little bit of a
youth movement renaissance wise for himself. If the rest of
the offense gets younger. I still think he's got five
to seven years left. No, no, I'm not. That's what
I'm saying is if he can somehow will this team
to victory of the next couple of weeks and string
some games together, then maybe they can be a wildcard team.
(12:24):
But I think it would be better that they not
be a wildcard team. Even though he's not gonna he's
not going to take games.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I think it.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Would be vastly better if they could go out and
get a couple of younger players to replace some of
the old guys. I mean, even Hollywood Brown's been around
for a while and he's always hurt, and he's always hurt.
They need some help on the offensive line. I think
there's things that Patrick Mahomes can't do anymore because of
his age, but his experience and his ability to manage
(12:52):
an offense is still good. If he's got guys that
can catch the ball, run the ball, and do the
things that because what's the ball has out of his hands,
even if it's a bad pass. It's up to the
wide receiver to go find a way to catch it,
and there was some questionable passes and questionable things he
did as a gunslinger early in his career. But Kelsey
or whoever his wide receiver corps, you know, Smith Schuster,
(13:15):
all those guys would go make a play. And there's
too much where they're not making plays. So I'm not
telling I don't think it's time for Mahomes to retire
anytime soon, but the rest of the team needs to
get better, and it probably would be better in the
long run for him to lose two or three of
these games and not make the playoffs so that they
(13:36):
can get back there next year, because not only would
they have a weaker schedule, they'd have a young, talented
group to go around Patrick Mahomes and a veteran quarterback
with a young group can make that young receiving corps
grow up pretty quickly.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And as nice as that might sound for the future
candency this year's Chiefs team, as we talked about the
Chiefs teams of the past, yes, Mahomes was able to
throw people open. Now the teams have figured out like
how to key up on him to put him on
the run. He struggles when you blitz him and you
get him off his mark. And now those those little
no look pass that he used to do, they don't
work anymore. Now, those deep throws like the guys ain't
(14:11):
getting open enough. Travis Kelsey is no longer security blanket
because he's not as effective at getting open as was
and slower.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, he did.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Now he is putting more passes in danger because that's
the way he's always played. I am not saying that
he's over the hill. I am not saying that he's
not still an elite quarterback. He is.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He is this generation is Tom Brady. No one is
disputing that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
But it's because he is a two time MVP, a
multiple time champion, that we ignore the obvious decline in
the last two years. If this, if this was any quarterback,
Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, even Drake May, people would notice
this a lot quicker. But because Patrick Mahomes, he's earned
the benefit of doubt, and then everyone's ignoring the obvious inefficiencies.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
But it's say it, but if it is the reason
for the inefficiencies and the reason for him having a
poor year. Because Kelsey's older, the running back room's hurt
and his and Rashid Rice missed the first six games
of the season.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
What about him? Yeah, but all this stuff is true.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But if I can throw somebody open and they go
catch it, then I look great. If I throw somebody
open and they don't get to the ball and it's
a pick, then either's a quarterback look bad. So the
question I'm looking at is if Patrick Mahomes were to
get another offensive lineman, get rid of a wide receiver
or two and replace them with young draft picks, get
(15:25):
rid of Travis Kelce in retirement, and replace them with
the best tight end in the draft. Now, all of
a sudden, can he throw the young guys open because
he's does he still have the talent to do it?
Or is his skill set diminishing? I would lend towards
his skill set is not diminishing. He just doesn't have
as many guys that are making as many plays.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Andy, do you know the last time Patrick Mahomes finished
the season with at least thirty passing touchdowns?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't twenty twenty two, do you remember?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Do you know the last time Patrick Mahomes finished the
season with under ten interceptions.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Thrown twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
So I am not saying that he doesn't have those
abilities in him, and I'm not even saying that the
weapons tear rate and also then put an average talent
around him that he's able to make better has not
been impressive because he made Super Bowls. I'm not saying
that at all. But at every quarter, at every point
in a quarterbacks career, Tom Brady experienced this as well.
Teams figure you out right, and he is right now
at a crossroads too. If teams are gonna figure out
(16:16):
can he get back over that hump tobacco where he was?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Boy's he gonna go down and they decline.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't think he can continue to have the success
he used to have with the group that's around him.
Even though Rashee Rice is his best wide receiver, Rashee
Rice isn't the top ten receiver in the league.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I think there's plenty of other receivers that are better.
So Rashie, if Rashee Rice was a number two or
number three, and you had two number ones that were legit,
and you know, even Xavier Worthy is a kind of
a gadget wide receiver. He's too little and he's he's
Tyreek Kill, only smaller, and he gets hurt and he
gets hurt. He's fast and if you if you don't
catch him the first time, he may not. But he's
(16:57):
not Ceedee Lamb. He's not Pickings. He's not dj Metcalfs
wanted him to be. Yeah, he's not in Jig, but
he's not any of these guys that are the premier
wide receivers in the league. He's still better than what
they had and they really missed him, but he's still
not their best, the best wide receiver. So if they
can get a let's say they don't make the playoffs
(17:19):
in they're the fourteenth picking the draft, and they get
one of the top two or three wide receivers, they
get a tight end that can start immediately. They get
another wide receiver that they can account on, and then
Hollywood Brown and Rashid Rice are the are the third
and fourth receivers, and Worthys the fifth, and that's your
receiving corps. Now, all of a sudden, Patrick Mahomes will
(17:39):
have a little bit of a maybe a renaissance in
his career because he's got guys that he can play
with as he did with the current group when they
were younger.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I don't disagree that helps you out in twenty twenty six,
but in twenty twenty five, his team, the way his
offensive line is beat up right now, and the way
the Cowboys offensive defensive line is playing, even though they're
a three and a half point dog, they right now,
based on the last two games, are the better team and.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We're gonna see if they And I the reason I
picked the Chiefs is two things. One, Mahomes's back is
against the wall, so he's gonna play over his over
his current head. And number two, the Cowboys don't do
well with prosperity, so let's see if they can change
that and the Cowboys win. Because I think if the
Cowboys win, and especially if Philadelphia loses this weekend, which
(18:28):
I think there is a possibility as well, then the
Cowboys could start to creep up into a playoff situation,
maybe get that six, six or seventh seed. Who knows,
they still got to. I think they still play. No,
they don't play Philadelphia anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
They beat them. They played that, They played the Giants
and the Commanders.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
When when your division games now, maybe you make a
run at that, especially if the Eagles fall fall, But
I trust that Mahomes is going to have a little
bit of Mahomes magic one more time. Whether that's sustainable
for the rest of the year is very much to
be determined, but it's now or never for Kansas City,
and if he doesn't do it this week against Dallas,
(19:06):
then I think the Chargers and Broncos are going to
be the teams out of that division, and five other teams,
not including the Kansas City Chiefs, will be in the
AFC playoffs. All right, let's talk baseball coming up here
in a little bit, and also a couple other football notes,
and I think the Spurs may have some good news
for us all coming up on the ticket
Our number three of the program, one hour to our
Thanksgiving holiday beginning from any of you, it probably already
has started. Hope you all have a good one coming
up tomorrow, U and watch a lot of football and
maybe head to the Alamodome this weekend to watch UTSA
take on Navy.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Real quick, I have to know, are you turkey or ham?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I'm more Turkey as long as it's it's more. But
I'm I'm the dark meat person.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm not. I'm not eating the wing in.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
The turkey turkeys over Everythanksgiving it is laised Ham is
the way you gotta go.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, I'm not. I'm not a big fan of either one,
to be honest with you. I'd rather have one year
I made prime rib. But that's really expensive.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I know, but that's that's not bad.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, But like you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Get the whole the whole roast basically, and you put
it in the in the roasting pan and cook it
till it's about medium rare plus and that's but it's
like a turkey and a ham together is sixty dollars
at HIV. A prime riy roast is one hundred and
twenty five. So I'm probably not doing it again. Anytime soon.
(01:11):
The other thing that's ridiculously expensive is brisket.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I like to cook and eat brisket, but man, it's
stupidly expensive.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
What about your favorite sides? Give me like two or
three sides you're You're like, go to I make.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
A sweet potata castrole, okay, And I'll make really loaded
mashed potatoes. They're put the kitchen sink in that. Our
family has done green bean castrole forever and corn casserole
for a while too, so those are probably the main four.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
But I don't try.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I don't eat a lot of that because it's mostly carbs,
and I try not to eat a lot of carbs.
So my intake on Thanksgiving is more is more of
the meat than it is of anything.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Just don't eat anything the day before and then you
can do what you want thanks Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, I mean I do.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I do what I want on Thanksgiving anyway, And that
stuff is all really good, but it's not perfect for
what I'm trying to accomplish.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Surprised you didn't say mac and cheese.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
One year, I made the best baked mac and cheese
I think of all time.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I think it was the best.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
See I used to make mac and cheese all the time,
but the way I would make it was with velveta,
and velveta really isn't cheese.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's fake food. Yeah that's not real cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
And but that's the way I was I learned to
make it.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's for making caeso.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
My my grandmother. Uh well yeah, I'm just trying. Pissed
people up there. Easy melt would probably be in that
category two. But that's the way my grandmother made it.
But I try not to eat fake food, and velveta
is basically fake food.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah it is, it's it's it's it's not real cheese.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And for those of one who know I don't eat
bovita caeso, it's like that's that I'm just trying.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Some people take that offense. But like I used I
used that.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I used the shells that you buy separately in a bag,
and then I used three different types of cheese. I
used cheddar greer, and I use monster. I really like
mustard cheese.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You like slow slow melted on like a.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah slow melted that, bad boy.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And then I used a I use I use a
really good recipe for like how to like for like
how to properly rue it and then I baked it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm not I probably haven't made kso in twenty years.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I like keso. I just don't make it very often.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And if you and I certainly don't eat it at
a stadium because if you've seen where that comes from,
that's worse than the valved. It'll go in quick and
come on faster. It goes right to your barteries. I
think more than anything else.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now, you got me hunger, I haven't eaten. Yeah, I
got some driving a guy do tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, so anyway, that but yeah, that's pretty much. But
I I I'm trying to figure out something different for
Christmas because sometimes we just make the same meal again
and I'm like, I would rather do seafood or some
kind of a fish or that. I may break down
and do the prime riy roast again.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
You know, you know you could do change it up
if you really wanted to. You could do a crawfish bowl.
You ever do one of those?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
No, But I do a seafood boil, you know, with shrimp, sausage,
corned eggs. Well not you can make those. I don't
do those in the in the boil. But it's yeah,
it's and I like crabs, but I'm like the crawfish.
I like crawfish. I don't like the Louisiana style. I
(04:19):
like the tails, okay, but but I don't and I
don't do. I'm not doing crab crabs too. It's too
much work for as little food as you get. Now,
if you want to take me to a stone crab
restaurant where they crack them yourself and it's a really
expensive meal, I'll go hang out with you and do
that once or once a year or so.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
First time, right, king crab was insane.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
We went in together to buy when those giants it's
a king crab like for those don't know. If you've
ever seen like one of those little little league baseball bats,
which are like two and a half feet long, imagine
that full of crab meat.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It was enormous. We've never spent that much money crab before.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was delicious.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
If you ever have stone crab and you can get it,
usually in Florida, Vegas has a restaurant that you can
get it in. There's some places where you can flight in.
That's the krim de la crim for for crab. But
it's again you get three claws and it's one hundred dollars.
It's like going to a high end steakhouse and Morton's
or Uscris or something like that all the time. Now,
(05:14):
I've never done what does John Madden call it? On
used to call it tur ducan.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Tur ducan, Yeah, the turkey, the chicken.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I have had duck, and I've had goose, and I've
had turkey, and i've had chicken, but I've never put
them all together.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, that's uh.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I mean that, I'm surprised to be honest, and I'm
surprised he didn't die sooner than he did. That man
did not have the best eating evits. I mean, like,
first of all, remember that one year when the Vikings,
i mean not the Vics, when the Packers played the
Lions at and Thanksgiving and they had the six legged
turkey first off, Like that was a real Second of all,
like you have to wonder like if they made that,
they had to like used it the cooking thread, which
(05:48):
like the only way that makes sense in that way,
and too, like if you're John Madden, like again, like
everyone already knows she was like the big fat funny.
He's basically John Candy with football, right and he was
just you have to, you have to. It's like, how
in the hell did he live as long as he
did eating the way he did?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, he had good jeans, I guess, But but I
broke pairs of jeans. I don't like dry food and
turkey white meat. Turkey is unless you put a ton
of mayonnaise on it and put it between two slices
of the bread.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'm probably not.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Wait we put andy, no no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I can make so. You can make h.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
May salad, and you can make a sandwich with the
leftover turkey.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But I'd much rather have the dark meating.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
My opinion about mayonnaise that mayonnaise is an ingredient.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It ain't real food. It is an ingredient to make food.
You don't eat it by itself.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, you put but you make a sand you make
a sandwich, and a sandwich you put maynaise on a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Now see, I would use either barbecue sauce or hot sauce.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Mustard, how about that?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Maybe honeymo I like honey mustard. I don't like regular.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I just thought, I just don't want a dry piece
of turkey breast.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's fine. I'm out on that we've been talking about.
We talk about food for like.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Eight minutes only, so we're done with that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Let's get back to football, and the Chiefs and the
Cowboys are the game that I'm trying to have a
figure out what's going to happen tomorrow. I think Patrick
Mahomes is in a do or die state right now.
I think Dak Prescott needs to be in a do
or die state. I think George Dickens is playing for
(07:23):
the contract of his life, and he knows there's one
coming and it's either going to be with the Cowboys
or somebody.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Else, but he is going to get paid.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And right now, I think he's just as good of
a receiver as Ceedee Lamb is, although CD has the
bigger deal and likely will continue to have the bigger deal,
but Ceedee Lamb is disgusted more than himself. I heard
a quote from him the other day where he said,
I I don't I know what the problem is. I
need to catch the ball. And he's got the drops
(07:53):
this year a lot more than he would like for
being a number one receiver, But certainly having Pickens on
the other side or a part of that wide receiver
room makes for the Cowboys offense to run more efficiently.
I just trust Mahomes more than I do Dak yet,
and I think Dak's a great quarterback and very underrated.
(08:13):
I guess i'd tristrust that Kansas City's receivers will catch
the ball if Mahomes puts it in the vicinity. And
I'm not sure if Dak Prescott will put it in
the vicinity, And if he does or doesn't, will his
guys catch the ball? So those are the kind of
the two things that I'm looking at in this game.
(08:35):
And I'm just I'm just not sure about the Cowboys.
They've had a couple of weeks of good. Now they
got us. Can they live with prosperity? Where the Chiefs
are coming off a week of good and we normally
know that they do live with prosperity and play their
best as we get past Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Andy, I think you look a little past what like
the Chiefs are is This year for Patrick Mahomes, He's
had having a career worst year. He has having the
lowest completion percentage of his career, lowest overall QBR lowess
success rate. He's at forty nine point four success rate
per play that's the lowest of his career.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Now, because here's my thought on this.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
If he doesn't start basically run the table, they're not
making a playoffs. They might not make the playoffs even
if they win on Thursday. No, I'm not talking about
just Thursday. I'm talking about the rest of the season.
They have to be Yeah, I think they may have
one Mulligan left, but with six games to go, I
think they got to go five and one, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I think that's what I think.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
They have six lefts, so I think they have to
go five and one or they're not making the playoffs,
which would not be a bad thing because the Chiefs
need I think the Chiefs defense is okay, Maybe they
need one more player somewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The defense has got them out of some hole.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, but the Kelsey's going to retire, so you're going
to have to replace him. I mean, I can't imagine
he's coming back for another year. And you need to
get a stud tight end because that's what Mahomes is
comfortable with. They need a running back. Pa Checko is
is okay, but time hunts. I think over the hill
and the receiving core that they've got Rice is good
(10:05):
Worthy's good, Hollywood Brown is good. But I don't know
that any one of them is great. They have three
good ones they have they don't have so in the
in the draft, I think they need to go wide receiver,
tight end, wide receiver, and maybe another offensive lineman as
well to get that offense back to Pat Mahomes standards.
Pat Mahomes hasn't lost lost his ability to play quarterback.
(10:29):
He's lost the ability to have guys that he trusts
that are going to complete the throws that he makes.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I don't think Mahomes is going to run down the
field on a bad leg like he did the last
several years. I think those days are numbered, are over.
But he can do things other than that that make
for a successful quarterback in the Chiefs legacy to continue.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, but Andy, I also think that Patrick Mahomes he
gets to live on the legacy he's built for himself
that people have to have ignored.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He has struggled this year.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
He has thrown more turnover worthy throws at any point
in his career. This is and that's the one thing.
The Cowboys defense has not created a lot of turnovers.
What their new front seven does with the linebackers in rotation,
and that defensive line has is taken away a team's
ability to run the ball. Now, the Chiefs were an
average running team as it was even going to the
Colts game, even with Isaiah Pacheco back, without Trey Smith,
(11:18):
who is I think their highest graded run blocker, if
I'm not mistaken, he's out for this game. So right
now you're already down one of your best offensive linemen,
even with the running back coming back. That you have
a hard time running the ball as is, So now
are you asking Patrick Mahomes to just air it out?
The Cowboys defense has struggled this year, but the secondary
has looked a lot better in the last two weeks.
Last week, I understand that they gave up. They go
(11:40):
up twenty one points in the first half. That was
primarily because the offense put him in bad situations. I
think in this game that I think that the defense
as is constructed is much better it was not two
weeks ago, to the point that I think it can
hold this Chiefs offense, which is old and beat up,
down one of its best players. And as much as
it you know, I love and respect Patrick Mahomes, he
is not the same guy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I think Patrick Mahomes has a little bit of a
youth movement renaissance wise for himself. If the rest of
the offense gets younger. I still think he's got five
to seven years left. No, no, I'm not. That's what
I'm saying is if he can somehow will this team
to victory of the next couple of weeks and string
some games together, then maybe they can be a wildcard team.
(12:24):
But I think it would be better that they not
be a wildcard team. Even though he's not gonna he's
not going to take games.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I think it.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Would be vastly better if they could go out and
get a couple of younger players to replace some of
the old guys. I mean, even Hollywood Brown's been around
for a while and he's always hurt, and he's always hurt.
They need some help on the offensive line. I think
there's things that Patrick Mahomes can't do anymore because of
his age, but his experience and his ability to manage
(12:52):
an offense is still good. If he's got guys that
can catch the ball, run the ball, and do the
things that because what's the ball has out of his hands,
even if it's a bad pass. It's up to the
wide receiver to go find a way to catch it,
and there was some questionable passes and questionable things he
did as a gunslinger early in his career. But Kelsey
or whoever his wide receiver corps, you know, Smith Schuster,
(13:15):
all those guys would go make a play. And there's
too much where they're not making plays. So I'm not
telling I don't think it's time for Mahomes to retire
anytime soon, but the rest of the team needs to
get better, and it probably would be better in the
long run for him to lose two or three of
these games and not make the playoffs so that they
(13:36):
can get back there next year, because not only would
they have a weaker schedule, they'd have a young, talented
group to go around Patrick Mahomes and a veteran quarterback
with a young group can make that young receiving corps
grow up pretty quickly.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And as nice as that might sound for the future
candency this year's Chiefs team, as we talked about the
Chiefs teams of the past, yes, Mahomes was able to
throw people open. Now the teams have figured out like
how to key up on him to put him on
the run. He struggles when you blitz him and you
get him off his mark. And now those those little
no look pass that he used to do, they don't
work anymore. Now, those deep throws like the guys ain't
(14:11):
getting open enough. Travis Kelsey is no longer security blanket
because he's not as effective at getting open as was
and slower.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, he did.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Now he is putting more passes in danger because that's
the way he's always played. I am not saying that
he's over the hill. I am not saying that he's
not still an elite quarterback. He is.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He is this generation is Tom Brady. No one is
disputing that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
But it's because he is a two time MVP, a
multiple time champion, that we ignore the obvious decline in
the last two years. If this, if this was any quarterback,
Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, even Drake May, people would notice
this a lot quicker. But because Patrick Mahomes, he's earned
the benefit of doubt, and then everyone's ignoring the obvious inefficiencies.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
But it's say it, but if it is the reason
for the inefficiencies and the reason for him having a
poor year. Because Kelsey's older, the running back room's hurt
and his and Rashid Rice missed the first six games
of the season.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
What about him? Yeah, but all this stuff is true.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But if I can throw somebody open and they go
catch it, then I look great. If I throw somebody
open and they don't get to the ball and it's
a pick, then either's a quarterback look bad. So the
question I'm looking at is if Patrick Mahomes were to
get another offensive lineman, get rid of a wide receiver
or two and replace them with young draft picks, get
(15:25):
rid of Travis Kelce in retirement, and replace them with
the best tight end in the draft. Now, all of
a sudden, can he throw the young guys open because
he's does he still have the talent to do it?
Or is his skill set diminishing? I would lend towards
his skill set is not diminishing. He just doesn't have
as many guys that are making as many plays.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Andy, do you know the last time Patrick Mahomes finished
the season with at least thirty passing touchdowns?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't twenty twenty two, do you remember?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Do you know the last time Patrick Mahomes finished the
season with under ten interceptions.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Thrown twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
So I am not saying that he doesn't have those
abilities in him, and I'm not even saying that the
weapons tear rate and also then put an average talent
around him that he's able to make better has not
been impressive because he made Super Bowls. I'm not saying
that at all. But at every quarter, at every point
in a quarterbacks career, Tom Brady experienced this as well.
Teams figure you out right, and he is right now
at a crossroads too. If teams are gonna figure out
(16:16):
can he get back over that hump tobacco where he was?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Boy's he gonna go down and they decline.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't think he can continue to have the success
he used to have with the group that's around him.
Even though Rashee Rice is his best wide receiver, Rashee
Rice isn't the top ten receiver in the league.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I think there's plenty of other receivers that are better.
So Rashie, if Rashee Rice was a number two or
number three, and you had two number ones that were legit,
and you know, even Xavier Worthy is a kind of
a gadget wide receiver. He's too little and he's he's
Tyreek Kill, only smaller, and he gets hurt and he
gets hurt. He's fast and if you if you don't
catch him the first time, he may not. But he's
(16:57):
not Ceedee Lamb. He's not Pickings. He's not dj Metcalfs
wanted him to be. Yeah, he's not in Jig, but
he's not any of these guys that are the premier
wide receivers in the league. He's still better than what
they had and they really missed him, but he's still
not their best, the best wide receiver. So if they
can get a let's say they don't make the playoffs
(17:19):
in they're the fourteenth picking the draft, and they get
one of the top two or three wide receivers, they
get a tight end that can start immediately. They get
another wide receiver that they can account on, and then
Hollywood Brown and Rashid Rice are the are the third
and fourth receivers, and Worthys the fifth, and that's your
receiving corps. Now, all of a sudden, Patrick Mahomes will
(17:39):
have a little bit of a maybe a renaissance in
his career because he's got guys that he can play
with as he did with the current group when they
were younger.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I don't disagree that helps you out in twenty twenty six,
but in twenty twenty five, his team, the way his
offensive line is beat up right now, and the way
the Cowboys offensive defensive line is playing, even though they're
a three and a half point dog, they right now,
based on the last two games, are the better team and.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We're gonna see if they And I the reason I
picked the Chiefs is two things. One, Mahomes's back is
against the wall, so he's gonna play over his over
his current head. And number two, the Cowboys don't do
well with prosperity, so let's see if they can change
that and the Cowboys win. Because I think if the
Cowboys win, and especially if Philadelphia loses this weekend, which
(18:28):
I think there is a possibility as well, then the
Cowboys could start to creep up into a playoff situation,
maybe get that six, six or seventh seed. Who knows,
they still got to. I think they still play. No,
they don't play Philadelphia anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
They beat them. They played that, They played the Giants
and the Commanders.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
When when your division games now, maybe you make a
run at that, especially if the Eagles fall fall, But
I trust that Mahomes is going to have a little
bit of Mahomes magic one more time. Whether that's sustainable
for the rest of the year is very much to
be determined, but it's now or never for Kansas City,
and if he doesn't do it this week against Dallas,
(19:06):
then I think the Chargers and Broncos are going to
be the teams out of that division, and five other teams,
not including the Kansas City Chiefs, will be in the
AFC playoffs. All right, let's talk baseball coming up here
in a little bit, and also a couple other football notes,
and I think the Spurs may have some good news
for us all coming up on the ticket
