Draft your ideal Thanksgiving plate
@CTowersCBS
I’m not going to lie to you guys, it’s a pretty slow day around the KSR Nashville compound, as I expect it is around most workplaces today. Thankfully, CBS Sports’ Chris Towers came up with this fun Thanksgiving game in which you can “draft your best plate” using a $50,000 salary cap.
Here’s mine:
- Turkey (White Meat): $11,000
- Baked Potato: $7,000
- Meat Stuffing: $7,500
- Corn Pudding: $5,000
- Dinner rolls: $5,000
- Pumpkin pie: $8,000
- Pecan pie: $6,800
That puts me $300 over, but I refuse to back down on any of my choices. If I’m allowed to ax one thing, it would be the corn pudding.
Let’s hear yours.

my favorite desert is probably the Sahara, I guess … never really thought about it … and it’s not even on there, [email protected]!
You’ve got White meat costing more than dark meat, that’s crazy. The white meat of a turkey has almost no flavor at all.
Tofurky and a box of Franzia. Holler.
dark meat turkey (because it’s better) – 8,200
sweet potato casserole – 7,500
bread stuffing – 8,500
