The Kansas City Chiefs are done. The dynasty is a wrap. Uh, the only sad thing about it to me, because I get great joy out of Kansas City being eliminated and the dynasty being over and the rebuild beginning now. I get no joy out of the fact that Patrick Mahomes goes down with a torn ACL. Nobody roots for that. Nobody wants that. You want them to lose on merit. They were losing anyway when he got hurt. I don't care what Chiefs fans have to say. He was going to lead us down the field. He scored 13 points with him on the field. So you can't predict that all of a sudden, he was going to pull Mahomes' magic out of his ass in that final drive where Minry throws the final interception that ends the Chiefs' season. But there's so much more to enjoy about, uh, the end of the dynasty. And once again, Mr. tough guy himself with no class at all. Travis Kelsey refuses to talk to the media after another bad loss. Here's the question I have for a guy that claims he's all about his teammates and a guy that claims he wants to go out there, put that uniform on, and do the best he can regardless of the playoffs now being out of their reach. I think Travis Kelsey doesn't play another game for the Kansas City Chiefs. You think he's gonna shut it down. I think Travis Kelsey shuts it down. Now the question. The question then becomes, what do you read into that if he does shut it down and doesn't play the final 3 weeks because there's nothing to play for, it shows a total disregard for the Kansas City Chiefs fan base who've already bought their tickets to how many home games they got left. Double check that for me. One more home game, Christmas, uh, Christmas night. OK, so to me you gotta get your ass out of that field and play, and that becomes kind of. Fun little side story now with the Kansas City Chiefs. Does Kelsey play out the string, and what does it mean if he does or he doesn't? I think his career is over. I think you agree with me on that. It seemed like he got himself in the greatest shape he could to go into the season, the way it ended with that terrible Super Bowl performance where he was in no man's land for the majority of the game. But now you've got much bigger questions in Kansas City. Because while there is some historical reference of NFL players, namely quarterbacks coming back quicker than other positions come back from the torn ACL, it's highly unlikely that Mahomes is ready to go September 1, but very likely he's ready to go October 1, depending on when he has the surgery. That's just me being honest and fair and objective about it. But next year's season is now in doubt because you don't know today exactly when. Patrick Mahomes is going to be playing quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, or how long it takes him to get up to speed, uh, physically to play quarterback next year. So this year is over. The dynasty is over, and now next year is in doubt. I think we've seen the last of Travis Kelsey. I don't think Travis Kelsey puts on pads ever again. I think he cowardly slinks off into the sunset with his fiance and all of his media obligations and opportunities, and good for him. But I think you're going to see the real Travis Kelsey, which you have seen the last two weeks after these bad losses, where he no-shows the media. And by the way, the Kansas City media, all they do is kiss his ass. So the fact that he no-showed the media last week and no-showed the media yesterday tells me we have now seen the As of Travis Kelsey, and I don't think he does the right thing by Chiefs fans. I hope he does. I hope he's in the lineup on Christmas Day. I hope he goes out there for one more home game for the Chiefs fans who've supported him, deserve to see that. But you got bigger problems. Isaiah Pacheco is not coming back next year. Highly unlikely Kareem Hunt's coming back next year. You don't have a quarterback to start off, uh, the season next year. And then comes the Andy Reid question. And I think it's a good question. He did sign a 5-year, $100 million extension. He has signed for 3 more seasons as of right now with the Kansas City Chiefs. But is Andy Reid gonna come back and coach the Chiefs without Patrick Mahomes? Yes, is he? And, and here's why I think he will, because I don't think Travis Kelsey's coming back. No, Travis Kelsey isn't coming back, and I know Pacheco ain't coming back. I don't think Hunt's coming back. I don't, I don't think they. I know Chris Jones will come back. He's under contract. He's at the end of his career, but if you're in Kansas City right now, you are looking at a complete rebuild, and you have no cap space whatsoever. You've Not done a good job acquiring talent that apparently was going to make a difference because the guys have each did acquire have not made a difference all that speed I keep hearing about. They never use it, right? Defensively, they're not great, they're good. They're not great. Their offensive line stinks, and they have no money available right now under the cap. I know that can change, restructure. Some contracts. Mahomes Reed does his deal yet again, and they'll open up some space. But right now, I think there's a chance you lose Andy Reid. I think there's a chance you lose Steve Spagnola to a head coaching opportunity in the NFL this offseason. I think Kelsey's gone, and you don't know when Patrick Mahomes is coming back. And let's just for a minute enjoy this Christmas gift that we've all gotten.
