00:00The Miami question for me is, which I think they're going to find out if people are honest
00:05in the interview, right?
00:06Like a lot of people are never honest in the interview.
00:09They tell the owners what they want to hear.
00:10They tell the GMs what they want to hear.
00:12But if you're really honest, are you going to sit there and say, I can build a team around
00:16Tua?
00:17Because that's what Ross wants to hear.
00:19That's what Brian Flores wouldn't say.
00:21I mean, we've seen all the conversations that Flores basically was, you know, had with Tua
00:28where Flores told Tua at halftime of the Tennessee game.
00:30This has all been reported.
00:31I mean, look, I don't think Flores was shy about telling him, hey, I should have picked
00:35Mac Jones.
00:36I mean, I don't think he was shy on that.
00:37In fact, I know that he was.
00:38I've said that multiple times.
00:39I don't know if I can be more clear.
00:40I mean, I don't know how many times I'm going to say, you know, I don't know how much more
00:52clear I can be here.
00:53I don't, I don't base my emotions off of who says anything about me or who's saying what.
01:04I mean, all I can do is my job and do it to the best of my capability.
01:08So everything else, I mean, you know, it's out of my control, but I have the utmost confidence,
01:14you know, and trust that, you know, I am the quarterback of this team.
01:20F off.
01:21Wow.
01:22Welcome back.
01:23Everybody told me Leroy here with your five 60 WQ a.m.
01:29Just laughing hilariously as I read this, I was reading this tweet from Florio who's
01:35lashing out at a Dolphins reporters because his tweet is the biggest story of the week
01:41so far came from to his comments about former Dolphins coach, Brian Flores.
01:46When current Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel met with reporters Wednesday morning, he
01:49wasn't asked a single question about it and everybody's like, he was asked a day ago.
01:53Dumb dumb.
01:54It was somebody didn't tune in and do their homework, Florio.
02:01He did not do the research.
02:02He did not do the research, Florio crazy.
02:05He was literally asked about it.
02:06The morning the comments came out, Florio, Florio's, can I just tell you something about
02:12Florio?
02:13Yeah.
02:14Tell me something.
02:15He's a big beak in the Dolphins business, do it.
02:17And when it's not any business to be had, he just makes up Dolphins business.
02:23He just makes it up to you.
02:24Want to know something?
02:25Remember this whole cheat motion thing?
02:28He's like, Ooh, every, the, even the officials came out to Dolphins report and said, there's
02:34no change in the rules.
02:35Nothing has changed.
02:36Nothing.
02:37Florio is always like a damn Pelican stick in his fat beak in the business and it's time
02:47for him to shut the hell up because he calls his website pro football talk, but doesn't
02:52act like a real professional.
02:54He acts like a carnival Barker, right?
02:56A propagandist.
02:58That's what the pros should stand for propaganda.
03:00Football talk.
03:01You just say what you want, Florio, hey, jackass, all transcripts are available.
03:07Why don't you look up the day beforehand when the news came up, he wasn't instabooted.
03:13Uh, actually he was Mike.
03:16Hey, Mike, why don't you do your research?
03:19Jackass.
03:22You and your little carnival friend there, Chris Sims, the guy who runs the dunk tank,
03:27who we all want to throw snowballs at and make fall.
03:30Why don't you go out there and you guys have your little podcast.
03:34Two is good to it.
03:37Was he treated to dolphins?
03:39Because that's all you guys are obsessed with.
03:43Wow.
03:44Ridiculous.
03:48Got to the greatest, the greatest line of Floyd Mayweather's career.
03:54Got to get water when you're in Miami.
03:58What does that mean?
04:00He just support you dog.
04:01Anyway, uh, Brian Flores, he addressed the comments yesterday because he
04:08hadn't addressed the comments yet.
04:10I will say it lined up good.
04:11Cause the coordinators don't talk all the time.
04:13And so, uh, he had said like, I haven't talked to you guys in like three weeks,
04:18lined up swimmingly, he got there and two of his players were standing up there
04:25like to support them.
04:27You there, we got your flow.
04:28So it's nice.
04:30But, uh, Brian Flores, this was him addressing the comments that to a made
04:35on the day and Levitard show and a flow, uh, says he wishes to a success.
04:41Now here was him addressing the comments, uh, that to a made on Levitard.
04:46That said, I think that's, there's some other questions that had some other
04:50things that you guys want to talk about.
04:52So I'll address those too.
04:53Um, you know, specific to, uh, you know, the comments that were made by
04:58tour.
04:59Um, I just want to say, look, I'm, I'm, I'm happy.
05:03Genuinely happy.
05:04Uh, genuinely, uh, genuinely happy for the success that two was had.
05:09Um, and I really wish him nothing but the best.
05:16And damage is gone.
05:17I think, you know, player relationships are very important to me.
05:20Um, they, I think that's kind of the foundation of coaching.
05:25And I got into coaching because I was impacted as a, as a, as a, a young
05:30guy, but my high school coaches, my college coaching, my going all the
05:33way to pop Warner.
05:34Um, I got into comp coaching because I want to make that same kind of
05:37impact, positive impact, pour into young people, uh, help them become,
05:43you know, as chaos says all the time, the best versions of themselves.
05:46Um, and you know, that's really my goal always in coaching.
05:51Um, so I wish nothing but the best to tour.
05:55Um, and, um, you know, really more than anything, I'm just focus on the, on
06:02the, on the Vikings, 2024 Vikings, the players we have, um, we saw a couple
06:07of guys up here, you know, just a couple minutes ago, Mattel is in HP.
06:11I think, you know, their leadership, their, uh, their friendship is important
06:17to me and I'm just, uh, you know, I'm excited about this group.
06:21Yeah.
06:23That's not the comment I heard.
06:25Oh, we got more.
06:26We got more.
06:27Here's the deal.
06:35I get him saying that now, but don't you have to acknowledge that the
06:46reason why he might not have been successful was because of you.
06:51Right.
06:52Yeah.
06:53Say that after the fact, when you're no longer at, and, and here's, you
06:57know, when people say actions speak louder than words, if you would have
07:04felt that way while you were here, you'd probably still be the coach.
07:09So to say that now, three years removed from it is, is like, you know, I'm
07:19you know, I'm not going to say that he's not being sincere because I do
07:24believe that people can sometimes acknowledge the error of their ways.
07:31Right.
07:33But by us hearing that first with what we have in our mind of the, what
07:42happened doesn't come across that way.
07:45Yeah.
07:46I don't think it comes across as very sincere.
07:48Um, you know, I think that it was pretty obvious that the guy was
07:52rats up a ship on him when he was here.
07:55Um, and by the way, I think this is an important thing to say.
07:59The dolphins organization gets some blame in that too.
08:03Like I didn't give him much support either.
08:05They did not give him much support.
08:06The ownership didn't give him much support.
08:08Chris Greer didn't give him much support.
08:09A lot of them left that poor, the poor kid out to dry.
08:13But do you think that a lot of that came because they entrusted
08:20Brian Flores with that determination?
08:25You understand what I'm saying?
08:27Like what Flores was doing here, uh, was really good as far as
08:33turning the team around.
08:35Yeah.
08:35So when he was saying stuff like that, you think maybe they were
08:39just kind of, because he was having success kind of looking at it
08:45and saying, well, he must know what he's talking about.
08:47Yeah.
08:47I think that Stephen Ross, I mean, we've seen Stephen Ross be
08:50influenced by a lot of the guys who have had parts of the
08:52organization.
08:53And so, um, when they, when they've had a little bit of success,
08:56my thing is, is that because he was saying it, it kind of progressed
09:02through the organization or up the organization so that others
09:08started believing that too.
09:10And if you don't like somebody, right, if he didn't like Tua, then
09:16he could go to Tua and, and, and, you know, go to management and
09:21say, he can't do this, or he can't do that, or he can't do this.
09:24Right.
09:25Instead of, oh no, like this is what he can do.
09:28And these are the things he can do really well.
09:31So that whole attitude kind of went up the chain.
09:37You see what I mean?
09:38Because that's what I'm saying though.
09:41Like the organization was openly flirting with getting another
09:44quarterback and we're following, yes, following his lead because
09:48look, that's what Stephen Ross does.
09:50If his, if his head coach doesn't believe in the quarterback,
09:53he's like, all right, what's the other direction that we get going
09:56now, once the whole Deshaun Watson thing blew out and more bridges
10:00were burned with him and it did get super frosty with coaches and
10:04with Chris Greer and a guy in Chris Greer, who he's been with a lot
10:07longer yet felt like Stephen Ross took a side and then they were
10:10done with Brian Flores.
10:12But there was a time where they were harboring like everybody
10:16harboring it.
10:17Everybody felt the same way about Tua that Brian Flores did.
10:22Now they just weren't as they may be just not like we're as I live
10:26through crushing about it.
10:28I lived through this.
10:29Um, Bernie was our quarterback.
10:33Bill came in.
10:35He liked Vinny.
10:38And he had to go to ownership and management and say why Vinny would
10:44be a better fit.
10:47Because everybody loved Bernie.
10:50It wasn't necessarily a situation where, you know, Flores had been
10:53here a long time.
10:54So it's a little different.
10:56But everybody in Cleveland, including the ownership, the owner,
11:01the gym, everybody loved Bernie Kosar and Bill came in and he wanted
11:07to go with somebody who had a stronger arm was, you know, a little
11:12more stout and he wanted Vinny and they made they made that move.
11:19Here's a little bit more flow.
11:20He was asked how it felt when Tua referred to him as a terrible
11:23person.
11:26Terrible person.
11:27I'm just curious how that hit you.
11:30Look, I'm human.
11:31So, you know that hit me in a way that you know, wasn't I wouldn't
11:35say it was positive for me.
11:40You know, I've got to use that and say, hey, how can I how can I
11:43grow from that?
11:44How can I be better?
11:46And that's really that's really where I'm at from from that standpoint.
11:52Do I feel like, you know, that's me?
11:56No, but you know, how can I grow from that situation and create
12:02a create a world where that's not, you know, the case that anyone
12:06says that about about Brian Flores?
12:09I got a couple of ideas.
12:10I got a couple ideas that if you have a problem with something
12:15being hurtful, try not doing it.
12:18Also never hired Chan Gailey.
12:21What is it?
12:22What even I'm flabbergasted at the first words out of his mouth
12:29as if wasn't he as if tour couldn't feel the same way.
12:33He was with the things.
12:34He was saying the tour.
12:36Right, basically, he basically explained to his feelings.
12:44In a nutshell.
12:45Yeah, right.
12:47How did that feel?
12:47Not great, you know, positive.
12:51Right.
12:51Oh, no, it wasn't very positive.
12:53Like what was it?
12:56Wait a little.
12:56Kind of like, I feel like when you called him a bum.
13:01Oh my goodness.
13:03And to it didn't text you and say you're a terrible person.
13:09Wow.
13:10Like and you want to know something?
13:12I really feel this way.
13:13Leroy.
13:13I bet you because two is such a nice guy whenever he speaks to
13:17the media, which I think will be today probably because he
13:19speaks once a week.
13:21I bet you he even walks that back a little bit because he's
13:23just such a nice guy.
13:24I bet you he walks that back a little bit, but it's but I
13:28would like even floors yesterday was like the first words out
13:31of your mouth when explaining what to a said cannot be the
13:37explanation that tool was saying about what you said it was
13:42hurtful.
13:43Um, I it wasn't very positive and I'm like what?
13:49Being more aware.
13:51Yeah, that did.
13:52I don't know.
13:53I didn't feel like a, you know, he says he's changed.
13:55I'm sure he's learned some things but that being said all
13:59this being said we're having some fun with it or whatever.
14:04Here's the thing that gets lost in all of this.
14:08Brian Flores is an excellent football coach.
14:12Okay.
14:13He understands where he went sideways.
14:21And so I do believe that he will learn from it just as many
14:26other coaches have learned from going in with, you know, trying
14:32to swing a big stick right away.
14:34That's good.
14:35It is gonna be interesting though, because now this is kind
14:37of on the future of tour, right?
14:40Because if to it does become a big time winning quarterback,
14:44if he does lead the Dolphins to the promised land, that's going
14:47to be something that follows him his entire career.
14:50So when he says like, oh, I wish to another we got success.
14:53I'm like selfishly.
14:54I wouldn't if I was in his position.
14:56Like if I was if I if I had that kind of a break from a guy
15:01and you're like, wait, you're you're saying that but do you
15:06do understand that if you were saying that you're the cause
15:11of it?
15:12Oh, well, yeah, but that damage is done already.
15:15That's why you got to be petty against the player.
15:20Yeah, of course.
15:21Why you need him to fail even if you were wrong?
15:25Oh, yeah.
15:28By any means.
15:31Hey that I gotta tell you.
15:34I've known you a long time.
15:35Yeah, that's not very becoming.
15:38I understand, but but but and this goes back to a lot of
15:43discussions that we have when you're wrong and you try to
15:46wiggle out of it.
15:47I'm not wiggling out of anything.
15:48No, you're not.
15:49You say you stay strong with this one.
15:53I mean, we're here has to already proved that Flores was
15:57wrong.
15:59Um, well, there's a guy the way the guy that he called the
16:02bum led the league in passing.
16:04I mean, he's right because his bank account is going to be
16:06very fat for the rest of his life.
16:08But I would say not yet.
16:11Not yet.
16:11Why?
16:12Got to be Flores.
16:13Wait, the whole point of this whole two years, the first two
16:18years of to his career.
16:19Uh-huh.
16:20Was that to a could know I'll explain why he hasn't done
16:23it yet.
16:23I'll explain why make it about and look, I get I will the
16:27playoff thing and whatever but.
