So what do you guys imagine today is going to be like we'll get to all the football stuff in a second and I probably need to tell you on the front end, I probably need to mention this as much as I can today.

[00:00:34]

Mike Bryant, if you get us on the ESPN app, if you're listening to this on the ESPN app and we are disappearing from all things ESPN at like 4:00 o'clock today, all things ESPN will erase us for class. There's a time. There's a time where we just get expunged from their entire history. I'm thinking that's noon Eastern. No, it's not noon Eastern. We will exist as a podcast for a few hours after there, like a lingering bad smell in the bathroom.

[00:01:00]

They're allowing us some Internet access, again, our affairs in order to get started now.

[00:01:05]

So so what do you imagine before we get to the Dolphins?

[00:01:09]

Getting to the studio today was an absolute adventure for me. Locks are already starting to change. I was I had to find like some sort of attic crawl space to get in here.

[00:01:19]

Mike is sending me directions at six thirty in the morning as to how to get into the garage because our key it work, it went up to floors to come down to Florida. It's a whole deal. I have some of the Keys, but not all the Keys.

[00:01:31]

Yes, it's a bit of a labyrinth here. There are many things for us to figure out. And we believe we think we hope this is getting more pessimistic as the center as the sentence goes on that we will be here for you tomorrow doing a show digitally. There are a lot of complications here in the infrastructure and the engineering that might make that difficult. But our effort and what we are trying to do is be on digitally tomorrow. We are trying to get you a podcast used to the way that you're used to hearing us.

[00:02:03]

But if you get us on the ESPN app, Mike, can you make this simple for people? I keep telling them Lieberthal and friends just make sure to download on whatever your devices are. But there are many people who are not podcast savvy, like I can say, whatever your devices are to some people. And they're like, cool, got it. No problem. But people who have been listening to us only on the radio and don't do podcasts if they want to get us after today, the ESPN app is not going to help you.

[00:02:30]

We are going to be replaced very quickly by Bart Scott.

[00:02:33]

There's no one listening on the radio. It's why they're firing us. I mean, yeah, the ESPN.

[00:02:38]

But I think a decent sized percentage of people, because we were show has still got to think we were fired. We weren't.

[00:02:45]

I mean, I think this is a mutually agreeable situation for those two guys.

[00:02:50]

Thanks. Nobody listens to us on the radio like, OK, wait, wait, wait a second. Do you think you were not. I was I was absolutely not fired. I can assure you I was not fired. I was.

[00:03:02]

Yeah. Yeah, you were right. You are. Yeah.

[00:03:05]

So we're obviously not going to be on the ESPN app anymore after today. And Dan has been messaging Libertador and friends. We do have that network feed that'll still be there. And you're still going to get Superdad a mystery crate and South Beach sessions which are under that leotard and friends umbrella, especially that network feed that cracked the top ten. But make sure you subscribe to the Dan Libertador show with Stewart. So these are separate feeds and the messaging has been a little confusing.

[00:03:35]

Dan Libertador show with you guys, you can find it on Apple podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, some of the great large platforms out there on all of them. And while we're doing transition from one day to the next and there might be a little bit of a latency period there or AIM is to make sure that we deliver on a podcast to you the way that you're used to hearing it digitally tomorrow.

[00:03:56]

That is what we are going to do. We do not know if we will be the dolphins. I don't know, Chris, if your inner child will do this.

[00:04:03]

We don't need to talk about that. Yeah, we do.

[00:04:05]

Was your inner child damaged by the dolphins? I think the last time something felt like that, like the dolphins were run over by the bills for a while, Tom Oliver, daddy, literally on a sideline, was run over defensive coordinator while standing on a sideline. The Buffalo Bills used to trample the Dolphins in route to four straight Super Bowls. But I don't remember a day in dolphin history feeling like yesterday did since. Do you remember those two guards when the Ricky Williams dolphins went up to the Patriots and all they needed to do was win a game and the Patriots were not dead that season or not not their standard of good that season.

[00:04:41]

And all they needed to do was win a game that people thought they were going to win and they lost yesterday was crushing. And not only was it crushing because the season was a success period, the Dolphins keeping you in the game until the end of the season is a success. But now what you've got, Chris, now what you've got, Billy, is Michael. David Smith is saying the Dolphins need to consider in the first round the drafting of a quarterback.

[00:05:05]

A lot of people are saying that about Touya and the idea that he doesn't look special. It doesn't seem fair to me. It seems too fast to make the evaluation, especially Stewart, with how limited the entire huddle around him sure is. But that's where we are now. That's how people are. Doing it, they see Herbert looking like that, that young, that fast, they see Bura looking like he belongs that fast and they say to a throwing a lot of intermediate stuff and they don't care that he doesn't have Keenan Allen or Mike Williams or AJ Green.

[00:05:36]

I think the thing that is difficult. The Dolphins had a good season and you could see it headed in the right direction. The one question you wanted answered was whether or not you have a quarterback and you still have no idea if you have that quarterback. I don't know if it's unfair. It's just the way the NFL has evolved where you have to do it in like eight to 10 games or people start to question whether you could do it at all.

[00:06:02]

Quarterbacks, Peyton Manning an entire season starting as a rookie. And no one really asked any questions about Peyton Manning at the time. And so he looked a lot better than this, though. He looked he turned the ball over more than he usually does, but he looked a lot better than this from the very start.

[00:06:17]

Here's the thing that's alarming about Touya. It appears his own head coach does not trust him to throw the ball down the field and he sees them every single day in practice. Well, and his own trust, though, his own head coach is benched him twice.

[00:06:30]

Yes, it was bad to his, but I think it's time we give up until and not just that, but this is probably the most important dolphins' draft in how long? Because they're there, they have the picks. This is a time where you can kind of turn around the franchise and they took to it last year. So you have to start questioning do we have the right decision makers in place? It may be time to clean house before the draft.

[00:06:53]

I mean, last year's draft was pretty important when we took Tewa. And look what happened. Look what happened. Wasted Pich wasted No. Five pick. Now they're going to have the number three pick, I believe. Can you afford to have the same people making the decisions that made the decisions last year? I don't know. It's not for me to say. It's just so frustrating because, like you have the argument over here of he didn't have any help, the offensive line was bad.

[00:07:17]

No skill, guys. And then you have over here that at the end, like regardless of that, I was rooting for Ryan Fitzpatrick to come into the game yesterday, and that is something that I needed to not be rooting for at the beginning of the season.

[00:07:30]

As Peter said to me, the final game of the season, with the season on the line, we are going to be longing for Ryan Fitzpatrick to come in with covid with like Mariano Rivera.

[00:07:42]

That's what I'm longing for. And I don't care what he looked like at times. I don't care what Brian Balding or shows me on a video clip. Baldie, I need to not be longing for Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second half of the game with our season on the line. That's what I know.

[00:07:56]

I know that, too. It doesn't have great weapons on the outside. And Devante Parker sort of been in and out of the lineup. But I don't have an answer for why the weapons look a lot better when Ryan Fitzpatrick is in there. And Dan mentioned that the head coach and the offensive coordinator, because I know change is getting torched on Twitter, don't trust Toure to throw the ball downfield. I see players running deep. I see to and not throwing downfield, which is a shame because I think to throw that back shoulder sideline fade really well.

[00:08:25]

I'd like to see that more. It's a great throw that he makes, but he doesn't really stretch the field all that often.

[00:08:30]

That's the problem. It seems the worst weapons he has is attached to his shoulders.

[00:08:35]

So this is where we are, those two guards. This is exactly how it goes. Your whole season is an overachieving season at every turn, every turn. You are happy with what the Dolphins give you, but now you head into the off season with the kind of questions you never want around your team and your quarterback because of the way you lost in a game that mattered to only you. I didn't understand why the Dolphins were favored by three points in the game.

[00:08:58]

I assume that's just because they needed the game and the bills didn't. The bills started Josh Allen at wide receiver because they didn't want the loss to cost to count against his quarterback.

[00:09:08]

I've never even seen that before. Can anyone? But here's the thing. The first thing I noticed about what we all notice about two was it against Clemson, second half, Mike, national championship game, Georgia or Georgia was the arm strength. And the fact that they don't want them throwing the ball downfield or he doesn't want to throw the ball downfield. Is Somatoform where you guys been on this, though?

[00:09:32]

Because I've been asking this and every time they win, you shout me down like I've been asking about the idea that he's doing intermediate stuff.

[00:09:40]

And now now because they took that loss in the playoffs, I mean, they were on the ground.

[00:09:45]

But the winds are not a quarterback that they were in the graphic.

[00:09:50]

They were look, two more games, two more games happened. And that's important. You made this move early on so you could so you could figure this out. Right. You knew when they benched Ryan Fitzpatrick in favor of two, they had an eye on what the Texans were doing because it seemed as though they were going to have a high pick. So they needed to rush an evaluation on the quarterback. And if we're just judging off of that, have you seen to be special enough for you to not take a quarterback?

[00:10:16]

And I think there's preconceived notions that you don't do this because you took a quarterback last year. No, the NFL and their new salary cap structure with the rookie wage scale. The Eagles paid Carson Wentz our highest quarterback contract ever, and then they took Jalen Hurts. It's sort of incentivized now to just keep taking hacks with quarterbacks. You can wheadon Manziel, you can just keep discarding these quarterbacks and keep trying. A new young one.

[00:10:39]

Who are the three. Who are the guys. Is it, is it just in the top fifteen. I shouldn't have said just in the top fifteen field. Justin Fields you've got Lawrence and you've got is Trask. Trask is top fifteen.

[00:10:51]

I don't think Trask is top fifteen. I think Mel has him as his fifth best quarterback. Zach Wilson probably the third.

[00:10:59]

Well they're saying Zach Wilson could go ahead of Justin Field and people like Wilson Moore, although if Urban Meyer does take that job and I don't know if he will or not, but Colin Coward seems to think there's a lot to it in Urban Meyer pushes for personnel power. Top of the draft gets a little interesting with all Justin Fields thing. I don't know. Justin Fields look really good if he takes a Jags job.

[00:11:19]

You saying, yeah, you might have a little mystery, but I think Trevor Lawrence is still on the Jets job. If you're Dolphins fan, you're hoping that, too, is not throwing it deep because the offensive line is bad and he doesn't have the time to do it, like that's what you're hoping? I don't know. I don't I can't break down the offensive line. Play to. No, but that's what you're hoping for.

[00:11:37]

So here's where we are with our football teams, because we've only got one person who's happy today. That is Mike Ryan. His Cleveland Browns make the playoffs for the first time in damn near two decades dugouts. And this is a heartbreaker for a number of different reasons. To Stewart had finally a coach of the Jets who was his friend that lasted all of two seasons, seasons that were filled with mocking Stewart's thought he had inside information on Adam Gates getting to retain that job and beyond.

[00:12:10]

Now that the general manager wouldn't fire him because the general manager was brought in by Gates backstabber.

[00:12:16]

I mean, seriously, Gates hired him and then he goes ahead and fires gays, which is serious about every one of the Jets organization may keep your eyes open when you're walking around. Joe Douglas, OK, I mean, seriously. Because he's a backstabber, his eyes open, everyone. All right. So that is interesting. Put it on the poll, Garmo, please, at Lebed Today Show is still God's allowed to call anyone else the backstabber and given his resume.

[00:12:47]

Now, Joe, let's go. Let's hire the right head coach here. Let's get a quarterback. Let's get some players around that quarterback. Let's go with a Super Bowl.

[00:12:55]

Oh, you guys, have you not seen by the hot name that's put himself out there year in and year out? Dan Mullen wants to coach your football team.

[00:13:04]

This Dan Mullen, if I'm ever a kid that plays for Daniel Bambo, enforces his name into every coaching rumor. That guy just hates recruiting, hate recruiting. They broke all sorts of rules over there. Who the hell wants Daniel in to coach their pro football team? No one. No one asked you.

[00:13:19]

Dan Mullen Gaiters was his dream job.

[00:13:23]

No one asked, you know, one considered you get out of here, Yermo.

[00:13:28]

Put it on the pool, please. In quote marks this Dan Mullen, yes or no? This because I'm with Mike on this. It's exactly what his first name should be. This and his middle name should be dead.

[00:13:39]

I love those reports. Dan Mullen would consider head coaching job in the NFL if offered.

[00:13:45]

What is that? That's an agent just reaching out to NFL insiders. Put that out there, please, because I can maybe get at the very least a contract extension. I'm on to you, Pat Fitzgerald.

[00:13:56]

So how happy were you, Mike, that the Cleveland Browns haven't made you feel good? Since when? Oh, you think I feel good because I still have residual effects from like that tense moment where we just eat the two point victory out against a 300 yard passing Mason Rudolph, I was rooting for Mason Rudolph to stick it to you. I got to be on. I am.

[00:14:15]

What happened? Where'd that come from? It was awful. I watched the first quarter of that game and I'm like, he's Mason Rudolph. This is not the Browns or ten point favorite. Nothing's going to happen here.

[00:14:25]

I understand it's edging out the Steelers backups and it's a little embarrassing. Mason Rudolph was picking apart special teams, having to start at cornerback because everyone on the Browns has covid. And we've had one practice and it was in a hotel parking garage over the last three weeks. So we're not great on that side of the ball right now.

[00:14:43]

You got the Sunday night position, though. Thank God that the NFL helped us out, too, because there's a chance Denzel Ward will come back. Well, whether or not he'll actually be himself, it remains to be seen because Myles Garrett is not the same player. Post covid. Do you love the super wildcard weekend?

[00:14:59]

That's what the NFL's call it pertains to.

[00:15:03]

One of the games is on Nickelodeon, right? Yeah, I know, but I don't care where. No, no, no. Right. All these games. What kind of answer is that? That's my analysis. When I say to you, one of those games is on Nickelodeon and, you know, like, I don't care. I this that one. I think we can all rally behind that.

[00:15:25]

Do you spoke for me there.

[00:15:28]

I sort of feel like sort of racist against Mexicans a little bit, but I don't I don't do that.

[00:15:36]

I don't think you intended it.

[00:15:38]

Like, that's not I don't think you don't think I it was it was an unintentional tribal yell.

[00:15:43]

There's still a little sliver of doubt to answer your question, Dan, I'm I'm so happy. I was honestly, that's a destination for me. Who knows? We may get smashed next week and I'll be like, why did I do this to myself? But to have an extra week of football, to not be a joke, to not be embarrassed again by my football team to be in the playoffs, have this feeling as an adult, I'm just like on cloud nine.

[00:16:05]

Honestly, could I just just a quick aside here, and I can't believe I'm going here. Myles Garrett chased down Mason Rudolph after the game, like went out like saw Mason Rudolph to have a couple of words with him, but more importantly, shake his hand. That seemed weird to me. It seemed odd to me that if Mason Rudolph did the things that Myles Garrett, Myles Garrett accuses him of doing, I don't think that's a guy you seek out after the game to shake his head.

[00:16:34]

It was odd to me, I can believe and I don't know what happened there. And Mike, if you do me the favor, I don't know the expression Cloud9 like I know what it means, but I don't know where it comes from. And why it's not cloud eight or cloud 10, but I think it seems clear in retrospect that. Myles Garrett absolutely believes that he heard what he did and Mason Rudolph absolutely believes that he did not say that.

[00:17:00]

And so where are you after that? Like, I suppose time can go by if classic.

[00:17:06]

He said he said. Right. So you just shake hands after the game and let bygones be bygones.

[00:17:11]

I think I think you buy yourself something. If you're Myles Garrett and you run across the field and you do that, people will notice it and talk about it the next day. And and not everybody will say it's weird. Some people will say, well, good that they have some healing after one of those incidents that involves wearing a helmet at the bear head of Mason Reed.

[00:17:33]

It's one of the ugliest things we have ever seen. And Mason Rudolph on a football field. Yeah, well, yeah. Mason Rudolph did tweet out on on Twitter and put on Instagram onward and upward with the still of Myles Garrett approaching him at the end of the game. So it seems as though that ugly chapter is closed, but they play again next week. Do you own or rent your home? Sure you do, and I bet it can be hard work.

[00:17:59]

You know, it's easy bundling policies with Geico. Geico makes it easy to bundle your homeowners or renter's insurance along with your auto policy. It's a good thing, too, because you already have so much to do around your home. Go to Geico Dotcom, get a quote and see how much you could save its Geico easy. They said Geico dotcom today. That's Geico dotcom. It's oh my God.

[00:18:22]

The NBA almost is sacrosanct. I mean, people are on the ground ripping open testing kits we all have. It's no way. We all don't have it. You knew that the direction of the entire twenty twenty year for the whole world just took a massive turn. Thirty for thirty podcast presents March 11th. Twenty twenty available now wherever you get your podcasts. We should call the Nickelodeon game because I was thinking it should be Marc Summers and summer centers that I know as my good friend, Iron Eagles son that's doing it.

[00:19:04]

But Chris Keenan and Kyle and I feel like Kenan and Kel would be a good call for that game. Right. Or stick strictly maybe on the sidelines doing some sideline reporting for which you have Dan being the NIC report.

[00:19:16]

Well, I want to hear some more about what Nickelodeon is doing in order to entice the kids.

[00:19:22]

Oh, they're sliming players. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be a lot of computer generated graphics to make it seem super fun. I'm actually super into this. I watched a documentary on the early years of Nickelodeon to sort of get myself ready for this massive playoff game because I want to get all the sight gags.

[00:19:39]

Forgive me, Billy, and not answering your question. The reason I can't answer your question is because I'm a little bit out of that demo. All I remember about Nickelodeon was, was it you can't do this on television was one of the monumental shows out of Canada with Alanis Morissette in it.

[00:19:56]

Yes, well, that's what I remember. I remember Alanis Morissette and that's where the sliming started. Correct.

[00:20:02]

That voice is where it originated and it sort of established an aesthetic for them going forward.

[00:20:07]

What is the name of the guy that we were going to do obstacle courses with? Mark Zimmer's. OK, yeah, you just said that. So, Mark Summers, what happened to us doing that with him?

[00:20:16]

What happened in DenTek back? Yeah. Yeah, they were supposed but 19 the tour. I don't know if you've seen this thing. It originated in Wuhan and covid.

[00:20:26]

What? Tell me more. Please explain it to me.

[00:20:28]

Well, life came to like a sort of screeching halt afterwards. And now you actually I don't know if you noticed.

[00:20:33]

It's it's hard to pick it up on television, but like, no one's in these stadiums outside of like Texas A&M right now, live did come to a screeching halt, but somehow St. John's DePaul got a half a basketball game and quarter finals, Big East tournament.

[00:20:46]

You mentioned attendance. Do you realize that the Dallas Cowboys, as of recently, they represented twenty percent of the NFL attendance this year? Because Jerry Jones is like I'm the most powerful owner in sports and I don't care what any of you say about anything. I'm going to grab my dollars here from my customers in Texas because we do it bigger and dumber.

[00:21:11]

In Texas, 30 percent capacity for them is obviously a lot larger because close to 100000 people can fit in that stadium. I think so, yeah, 30000 people and make a lot of noise. It's interesting that Cuomo actually caved and the bills are going to have some fans at their stadium, but you have to test negative beforehand. And there's contact tracing that is done immediately following. It's like 6000 fans, 6000 feet. Yeah. And they're asking Bills fans to be responsible.

[00:21:37]

Josh Allen's pretty good, huh? Yeah, he looked pretty good yesterday. The no, look, throw that.

[00:21:44]

What happened to that Dolphins defense yesterday? Like everyone's talking about Tewa. That was an awful defensive performance by the Dolphins.

[00:21:51]

He's a difficult quarterback to contain. Like there's no disputing that. He's a talented kid who has made a giant leap in a way that would, if you want to be positive about the Dolphins, would indicate, hey, you've got to give these people some time to grow into the position because it was standing on the opposite sideline yesterday. That was an inaccurate quarterback. I don't know how that guy was. Coach, where'd he go? Wyoming.

[00:22:20]

He went to Wyoming. And I'm glad you mentioned the coaching because I want to be Chanes Holmer guy for a second. Brian table going to get a head coaching job out of what he's done with Josh Allen, maybe the Jets. But if you look at what Ken Dorsey has done with these athletic kind of inaccurate quarterbacks with Cam Newton and he made Mike Shula look like a genius, I think Ken Dorsey is a very good quarterback coach because Brian Daboll, I know he's been in the league for like twenty years, but he's had some pretty disastrous stops along the way.

[00:22:46]

He's grown and learned from his mistakes. McIntosh is pretty good.

[00:22:49]

I would like to remind you guys how the last season and for the Buffalo Bills, they were up sixteen, nothing in the playoffs, and he was throwing across his body into double coverage to a fullback and he was running backwards toward the wrong end zone at the most critical time. And he looked like a human being who didn't know what he was doing out there. And on top of that, he was inaccurate. There was nobody who could have predicted what this has become.

[00:23:22]

You could have said he's talented. You could have said that he would be somebody that you believe that if he game manages, maybe they could coach some of the reckless out of him. But the thing he made a throw in the last game to Stefon Diggs that ended up in a touchdown. The arm strength on that dude is indisputable. Like, it's it's the strongest arm you've ever seen type of stuff. It's in the Elway category. It's Mahomes.

[00:23:50]

It's it's Michael Vick and. The idea that he can be accurate now, I just did not know that that was something that could be taught to God. I thought that if you weren't inaccurate in college, they couldn't scrub away the inaccurate. And if you're reckless, you could scrub away some of the pressure. But if you're inaccurate with reckless, bad things are going to happen. And so, yeah, I got it wrong on Josh Allen. There's no disputing that.

[00:24:16]

But who had it right? I ask you that question seriously. Who had him being this? Did the bills have a couple of bills to it?

[00:24:23]

But yeah, but this is forty five touchdowns and 10 interceptions. I mean, he threw for 37. He ran for eight. He had 10 interceptions and the completion percentage went up 11 percent. To Mike's point, Brian Daboll deserves a good deal of credit here. So did Josh Allen. That's going to get a lot of it.

[00:24:39]

Yeah, players do. It's not sexy saying quarterback coach.

[00:24:41]

But Josh Allen wasn't even good in college. I know he was an honorable mention in the Mountain West. I would watch Josh Allen and hear about this guy who has this tremendous arm. Number one, I didn't see the kind of athlete that he ended up being in the NFL. I think that one no one was talking about that. We have like a million draft experts and not a single one told me that this guy could be the dual threat that he ended up being.

[00:25:02]

But he was great. And he's actually a case study that if you're a Miami Dolphins fan, hey, look, they got him weapons. He got better. They got him a precise route runner and Stefon Diggs. And then all of a sudden, Brown is not dependent on in the same way Cole Beasley becomes a nice little pieces, the third option in that receiving corps. And it makes everybody better.

[00:25:20]

Diggs I don't know what happened with him specifically in Minnesota. I don't understand it, but you can see where and how they miss him. In Minnesota.

[00:25:29]

I got Jefferson, who broke Randy Moss record. That's a greatest replacement.

[00:25:33]

Yeah, it's a pretty good it's a pretty good replacement. But you've seen what's happened to that team in general, like and that quarterback. Right.

[00:25:41]

Like for as good as Jefferson has been, he is still a young Jefferson. Reminds me of some of the things that Randy Moss did where he feels like it's just this raw athleticism and he's got a lot of learning to do and he's still dominant while needing to do some learning. But you guys you guys are right that they don't miss him that much if that's the replacement. I still am marveling, though, at how good Diggs has been in Buffalo.

[00:26:05]

Yeah, they miss Stefanski more than they Miss Diggs, actually. And Diggs has been incredible. I thought Diggs was like, man, you try to force your way out of Minnesota and you played yourself. Now you're with Josh Allen and Buffalo and man, another place I was wrong to the Bills. I am wondering how big of a Mike Glennon fan Chris Cody became late yesterday afternoon as the Jaguars got to the twenty two.

[00:26:27]

Yeah, my God, I was watching that Jags game and of course, they had to make it close in that second half. That was frustrating.

[00:26:35]

That is the worst feeling in the world. First, it's needing the dolphins. That's just a bad feeling. And then when they lose, you need the Jags. It's like come off the worst feeling.

[00:26:45]

Is there a worse feeling in the world than needing the Jags? I mean, put it on the podium.

[00:26:51]

Eleven show. Wingo is mocking me. Is is there a worse feeling in the world than needing the Jags?

[00:26:57]

I think it's obviously very easy to say today. Gasbag retrospect playing the result. But I do believe that it's probably fair, Chris, no matter how hopeful you were yesterday, no matter how optimistic you were. I think when you look at Indianapolis and Cleveland, you see better football teams. Maybe it's not much better, but you see players and you see skilled guys. You see players. And all over the field on Indianapolis has got on defense. They've got a good defense that doesn't have happened to it.

[00:27:33]

What just happened to the Dolphins in this last game?

[00:27:37]

I feel like we can say that, that the bottom half of the AFC, that a lot of the teams are close, but on merit. The Dolphins probably don't deserve to be in the same space that Cleveland and Indianapolis do, do they?

[00:27:50]

Super unlucky 10 wins in an expanded playoff field. They're on the outside looking in as a ten win team stinks, especially when the NFC and there's an eight win team there.

[00:28:01]

But do you think there is good? Chris, tell me tell me.

[00:28:04]

The Colts, when you were saying it, I was like, maybe. I mean, I'm not some savant, but I don't think of the Colts as this crazy, more talented team than the Dolphins. The Browns, I think, are more talented. But I mean, I know the Colts defense is good. The Dolphins defense has been good all year, though.

[00:28:19]

So it's like those where I thought were a wash. But I mean, I don't know, it's tough.

[00:28:23]

I think the hope should be that they did that in what should have been a rebuild year, right. Where the other teams are well into their rebuild. And the Dolphins got one win, less than half of them. And you didn't expect them to be there. Now you're missing a ton of pieces. So it should be hope, I guess, for the future. If you get the right pieces, what could this team be?

[00:28:42]

But at the same time, there's all the questions about two on what is to actually, I'm looking at point differential here and the dolphins aren't as good as the Colts, but they're a good deal better than the Browns. The Browns are minus eleven this season. They've been outscored this season. And I know that this is not a perfect statistic. And and I also know that the Dolphins got clubbed yesterday and are still plus sixty six on the season. So I'm not sure it's fair to say what I said, that, that Cleveland is necessarily better than the Browns at two games.

[00:29:13]

I don't know what happened there, but they had two games in which they lost by thirty plus points to the Ravens and Steelers. So I mean that accounts for a lot of it. Yeah. There's so many mitigating factors. But yeah, if you're but thank God they don't do this by point differential, otherwise the Browns would have the picks of the dolphins out.

[00:29:28]

But just so you understand, the dolphins have a better point differential than the Titans. I don't believe a lot of people would have thought something like that. I don't think a lot of people, if we'd ask them, even if the Dolphins did one yesterday, who's better, the Titans or the Dolphins? I don't think a lot of people would be saying that dolphins.

[00:29:45]

How does a two thousand yard rusher sneak up on you? That also, by the way, is credit to their defense because their offense couldn't score points, they did not have a good offense. So that just tells you how good the defense is that they still had that point differential with the offense that they had. When you have an entire season and you have the altitude on it because everyone kept holding up that that cardinals' performance as look, that's a silver lining.

[00:30:09]

That's what you saw to get excited about, to realize the cardinals aren't very good at cardinals. I mean, every time Cliff Kingsbury is a favorite at home, they lose. He's like one in six all time, his own favorite. It's not really that impressive what he's done. You can start nitpicking some of these victories like the Rams. I guess I was. That was impressive at home.

[00:30:27]

But, you know, as the season progresses, you kind of can poke holes in how impressed you were at times with the dolphins, that that was what Bill Parcells was saying when he just dismissed all of that and said, you are what your record says you are. Bill Parcells would be terrible at therapy, like he wouldn't want to discuss it is what it is.

[00:30:50]

I mean, it is. But but you also can't argue with it. Like he's like you can make all the excuses you want, but don't tell me how hard it was. Just show me don't tell me how hard the labor was, is what he used to say. Just show me the baby. And he did not care all of the reasons that you could say that your team lost the game. Did you win or did you lose? That's it.

[00:31:11]

That was the math he was doing. It's a very quick therapy session. I think we could do a pretty funny bit of Bill Parcells doing therapy, like just being asked questions about his childhood and saying, look, I had a mom and a dad and I came home and I went to sleep and they did what they did and I did what I did. And then I became an adult.

[00:31:30]

It's a shame there wasn't any real drama attached to the Titans situation because the Titans had the tiebreaker they were getting in no matter what. It would have been really interesting to see Dolphins fans reacting emotionally to weight. The Titans lose and we get in the playoffs. But we kind of want the Texans to lose, too, because we can get a top three draft pick. There were there would be competing situations going on there for Dolphin fans, but I think the playoffs would have been the overriding factor there for Chris.

[00:32:03]

Are we going to have the conversation about the whole tannahill thing? Why don't you the one that has to drive you crazy, right? Like that's my fear with Darnel does he'll go be great somewhere else. That is my fear with him.

[00:32:13]

So it. It is really annoying what you get that. Yes, I'm sorry I had to turn my mind. You'd rather have Tannahill right now than to. I don't know. I think so. Rightly?

[00:32:25]

I think easily. Oh, I think everyone wants a tannahill over to right now. I'm moving forward.

[00:32:31]

How old is Ryan Tannehill? He's in his 30s. Ryan Tannehill.

[00:32:37]

I mean, he's been great. Yeah, but don't you ever listen. Do you think things would have drastically changed for him down here?

[00:32:43]

I mean, we were doing the Ryan did seem annoying to a discussion that we were doing week after week where I man, I don't know. We were doing that with the NFL for seventy seven years.

[00:32:52]

It was seven damn years. It would have been by nine years now. And wanting to do we'd still be wondering. We'd still be wondering. He goes somewhere else and all of a sudden he's great. And you're like, wait a minute, I don't understand.

[00:33:04]

He'll be thirty three before next season.

[00:33:06]

I should probably go to him, but I don't know if I want to over who is available at the number three pick.

[00:33:12]

I guess he is. Fifty five touchdowns and thirteen interceptions.

[00:33:16]

The Titans. Oh those are obviously a Hall of Famer numbers when I was growing up.

[00:33:26]

His graphics don't get me started on these playoff graphics that show me all the scenarios where the Dolphins can get in. All right. The Dolphins were an underdog and all the teams they needed to win were big fake. All the teams they needed to lose were big favorites. So like it was very likely they weren't going to get in. But yet all these graphics were telling me that I was definitely going to get in, get out of here.

[00:33:45]

Graphics you always have that Raiders finish, which was infuriating. Watching is someone that needed the Dolphins to lose. That would have been a fun show to do. That's one of the great dolphin memories. Didn't you change your avatar to that now meaningless pass, Chris?

[00:33:57]

Yeah, that's a good picture. I'm going to leave that one for a while.

[00:34:01]

I love the idea. I love that we're sitting here talking about it this way after after nine years, what is funnier what is funnier in dolphin history that Wes Welker had one touchdown, catches a dolphin and then goes to the Patriots. And every season it's one hundred and twenty catches, or Ryan Tannehill has fifty five touchdowns and thirteen interceptions. You know, we spent seven years talking about is this guy any good?

[00:34:33]

And he was a half away from a Super Bowl last year. Is this what today's show is going to be? We're going to talk football all show. That doesn't seem like it's emotional and nostalgic enough. We've got some stuff planned for you. We have we have some things that I'm not going to tell you about right now, but just a couple of things that we're going to unleash on you today. That should be fun.

[00:34:55]

I left out the eleven rushing touchdowns for Tannehill. So it's sixty six touchdowns. Thirteen? Yeah. We're not just going to talk. I'm not just going to talk NFL football today.

[00:35:07]

We can talk about the chiefs at Bolaven, if you'd like.

[00:35:11]

What happened in the cheese Adbullah here and I see than losing the OC Oklahoma State and Perry look good though.

[00:35:21]

Oh stop. You're going to hear it feel good. No, I mean, it's amazing. He was dropping dimes out there, just going to catch any of them, like, hey, are still your thing is supposed to be medicine has gotten very good.

[00:35:33]

Kings going to be ready for next season. Kings coming back next season is supposed to be fine for next season, even though that, you know, old camp that used to be an injury to guys that you didn't if that happened in the bowl game, you weren't going to be available as an athletic quarterback at the beginning of the next season.

[00:35:50]

Right now, you're now you're available. How about Justin Fields and that little injury, huh? Go into that regimented boom?

[00:35:57]

Did you see his quotes from that? That was insane. He never got a diagnosis. I know. He went to the trainers. You said they asked him what hurts. He's like my entire right side. He's just like half my body hurts. They never said, well, it could be this. They just gave them injections. Just Fields' admitted to this and he went back out there and now he's back in the conversation is the number two overall pick.

[00:36:20]

I was over at my parents house when that game was going on and they had it on him. My mom was watching and she did this weird thing, which is like he's not right. He's injured. He's very clearly injured. Something's wrong. He just threw a touchdown. But I'm telling you, he's injured. There's something going up. Look at him. Look at him limping. There he goes. He's look, he can come back. But I'm telling you, he must have a fractured rib.

[00:36:40]

There's something going on with him. There's that's not right. What's going on right now is not right. There's something going on there. The first time I've ever seen Operationalised, Bob Gill telling you what was going on with the game, but she was very concerned about I like to hear more from her as we move on, but just it feels direct.

[00:36:57]

Quote to Eric Smith, USA Today Sports Direct, quote, I cannot believe, Dan, you're going to be mad. This is going to make you it's going to make you.

[00:37:04]

I was mad watching it, guys. They didn't really tell me anything. I took a shot or two. We just ran back out there. But it's pretty much my my whole right side is sort the. That's messed up and a little in my head, but they didn't really give me a diagnosis at all. Billy, can we call your mother?

[00:37:23]

What can we know? I know. It's just it might as well. The symbolism of this is simply to God. It is simply amazing the idea that a quarterback in a season needs to keep moving toward the championship in such a way that he just goes to the sidelines, hey, my right side hurts. Here are a bunch of injections, like basically just doctors on the sidelines throwing needles at him, like like ninja stars.

[00:37:48]

How about can you play? Do you want to play? Do you want me to inject you with these needles? Your NFL career is coming up and does any of that.

[00:37:56]

I should have just run out there with needles in him just just on the right side of his body, just run out there and kept playing. Billy, you will not put your mother on the air with us. It's very early days.

[00:38:08]

And if you were a player, would you say no? By the way, if you're a football player and you're the quarterback and like, I couldn't just inject this in and you'll be good and you can play you can have the game of your career and people say, hey, you should be the number two figure.

[00:38:20]

I need a proper diagnosis before I go out there, please.

[00:38:23]

You're asking a guy. I got an epidural. I'm always surprised that Justin Fields had that quote after than I am with him.

[00:38:31]

Like totally being fine with the shot right to him for him to be like, well, I was kind of messed up.

[00:38:36]

No one even told me what was wrong with the drinking.

[00:38:40]

It's like a text from the team doctor, like, bro, what are you doing here? Just a couple of injections. That's it. I don't I don't even believe in the idea of out of having painkillers in amateurism. Like, if you're going to pay professional athletes to mask the bodies screaming so that they can get out there, that doesn't seem terribly sane either. But at least I understand it if you're a professional.

[00:39:06]

But the idea that the school the symbolism of these games being played during a pandemic, that team still playing basically only because we need them in these games to cash in. We need the Ohio State name. They haven't played enough games this season in order to be in those games. But they're sitting there and they change the rules so that team could be there at the end. And then they're keeping that kid on there because he's the star and keeping him in the game because they need the victory.

[00:39:36]

And they would have wheeled him out there in a wheelchair. They would have just kept moving it along if they had to amputate his limbs to get him out there, because they don't have to deal with the consequences of who cares if he if he has something that is wrong with him. Six months from now, we're just going to shoot his body up.

[00:39:55]

A nation united and overlooked, including Mom Gill, she overlooked what was going on with the right side of Justin Fields' body because we all could get behind Dabo GetNet. That's right.

[00:40:06]

Yeah, that is right. We were all I feel like America was celebrating both of the losers losing in those games, because Notre Dame in fact, I think there was more joy in watching Clemson and Notre Dame lose than there was in watching anyone beat them, that it was just like, you know, how you know how unlikable you have to be for people to be rooting for Nick Saban. Just keep winning. Yeah.

[00:40:30]

And piling it on. I mean, to Brian Kelly, rare is the occasion that you see a team headed to a football game just to cover. No, no effort at all to win. They just want to get the cover and leave run out this clock. Let us not be embarrassed to the point that they cover this enormous spread and they did cover it.

[00:40:48]

And I had Alabama and it annoy the shit out of me. Oh, God.

[00:40:52]

Hurt stupid. What was that touchdown the last three minutes of the game? I wasn't even watching. I'm like, I got this. And then all of a sudden they had fourteen points.

[00:41:00]

Put it on the pole at LeBreton show worst feeling needing the Jags or getting seriously, what am I doing getting beat on the back door.

[00:41:10]

What is the worst feeling. Meaning the Jags to win or just needing the Jags period in general, the betting in that sports. Two guys here is a stat that I saw over the weekend going into the weekend, the last two years, NFL over unders. Are you ready for there have been let's see here, 496 games. In the last two years and the record on overspenders is 245, 245 and six.

[00:41:44]

That is crazy, how is that possible? It's a coin toss to thank you two guys. I thought of you this weekend here when I saw that that Wal-Mart Wal Mart every year has loses three billion dollars just from people stealing from them.

[00:42:01]

Three billion dollars worth of things that make you think of this? Yes. Well, just like yes, because you just stole money. And just let's begin with that joke that I thought you telegraphed from 2009. And so it made me think of thieves, of people who steal things.

[00:42:20]

I'll be stealing tomorrow. Get me out of that. Yes. Tell us more and tell us more stuff. Guys. People are going to get. They're going to get. Wait a minute. I saw Chris Cody and Greg Cody are on Cameo now. Well, no, they're not. So Chris is Chris, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe your account is active because we cannot be active until tomorrow, so.

[00:42:39]

Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know what you saw there on the Internet then, but I never saw such a thing.

[00:42:44]

So I believe that I will be active tomorrow on Cameo. Chris Cody will be active tomorrow on Cameo and the great Greg Cody will also be active on Cameo. I did my videos yesterday. They're uploading them today. I'm super.

[00:43:01]

I actually did have like a very vivid dream that Greg Cody had a thirty four dollar, 99 cent price point, but I'm not exactly sure that was actually real.

[00:43:09]

So what was the price point in your dream for Chris Cody thirty four point ninety nine for Greg Cody. Sounds expensive in your dreams, Chris. What is your price point here? Like, totally hypothetically.

[00:43:21]

Hypothetically, I think it's going to be 1999.

[00:43:25]

I feel like in my dreams I saw 399. I thought I saw 399 somewhere. Did I get that wrong?

[00:43:31]

Pathetically. They have this thing with like you can do chat's to you can text, you can you can pay to text somebody apparently. And that's the thing.

[00:43:38]

You can put a price point and I'll do whatever the hell you want to sell me the money.

[00:43:41]

Have you gotten a look yet. Have you gotten to look yet of what the backlog of requests is. Have they shown you yet how many people are lined up to get Stewardson Karmiel?

[00:43:50]

The guy said it's a lot. He also said it's a lot for Chris and it's a lot for Greg that Greg keeps asking me where I'm going to price my. I have not decided that yet. I keep telling him a dollar less than you're going to price yours at some. I get more orders. Greg was not happy about that. So I have that going on with Greg. And Greg is desperately trying to get me on his podcast. I mean, he is relentless, trying to get me on his podcast I made.

[00:44:14]

Scoop's is in rare form right now.

[00:44:17]

When are you going to come up with a price? Because it's tomorrow. You can't keep dragging this down the road. And also and I could be wrong, but based on what a listener sent us, I think if you don't do it in the amount of time that you have to do it, it's free. So you need to do these.

[00:44:33]

I'm doing nothing for free. I could tell you right now, Cameo takes that l, though I think you still get paid and they take the L on that stuff if you don't like.

[00:44:41]

I lot about that in this for free bill. So I got lined up.

[00:44:48]

This is it. This is the price is all we have lined up.

[00:44:55]
