Transcript

00:00Oh, the Miami Dolphins are gearing on up, by the way, Mike McDaniel

00:03has just announced Leroy, uh, Raheem mostert is out.

00:09No Raheem mostert this week.

00:10He's officially been ruled out.

00:12Do you have this Vlad?

00:13This is a Mike McDaniel minutes ago at the podium.

00:16So just to address running back for Raheem, no Devon.

00:23Um, we'll see how it plays out today.

00:26Um, Thursday night games, um, are probably the, uh, it probably

00:32should be your triggering point.

00:35Very, because like I had, I don't, you know, like you gotta every, um, I mean,

00:43you gotta realize what is, what is today?

00:45Today is, um, Wednesday, right?

00:49Okay.

00:49Um, guys are just, you typically, um, we don't even have our, when

00:55we do have padded practices, we don't even have them until Thursday

00:58because typically after an NFL game Wednesday, guys are still working

01:04through their ailments from the game previous, so, um, it will, uh, there's

01:11several guys that will, will be feeling out, um, and, uh, and go from there.

01:18All right.

01:18There you go.

01:18Mike McDaniel ruling out Raheem.

01:21Most are Devon HN is, uh, is still a question Mark.

01:27He's dealing with an ankle aid.

01:29Uh, most are, was dealing with a chest.

01:31Um, look, I'm not going to make any excuses because trust me, I've

01:35already told you statement game, go beat the bills, no excuses.

01:39However, I just want to make this clear.

01:41Thursday night football is still really stupid.

01:44And I hate the fact that this is something that's coming up right down

01:48the pipe, I know now it's kind of exciting because it's like the novelty

01:52of football, we're all on football highs right now, like we have just snorted

01:55football, we're super excited, but let me tell you something, when we get to,

02:00when we get to Titans Colts week eight, we're going to be Thursday footballed

02:04out and the games are never good.

02:07They're never good, but here's what happens.

02:09This one happens to be good.

02:10This is a great game and a game, a game that already feels like

02:12heavy stakes in week two.

02:14But it is so dumb that we do this.

02:17Here's the other thing though.

02:19If you're going to have it, I'd rather have it now get out of the way because

02:25the Thanksgiving game plays a little different, right?

02:31We don't even consider that Thursday game is Thanksgiving day.

02:34That's a holiday.

02:34You better give it, you know what I'm saying?

02:36So then they give us more football and they better, they

02:38should give us more football.

02:39But here's what I like.

02:42And this goes, people don't really talk about this.

02:45You got a bi-week and two Thursday games where you get 10 days off.

02:51That's big.

02:53If there's, if they're, you know, stretched out pretty good.

02:58So you got this one, then you got 10 days, right?

03:01Then you got your next comes up is your bi-week.

03:05That's two weeks.

03:07Then Thanksgiving, around the end of the season.

03:10So you might have enough time to get a bi-week.

03:15And breaks where you can get everybody refreshed and ready

03:19to go for the next game.

03:22And so while it may hurt a little bit.

03:26Um, I think the long breaks three times a year might actually help.

03:32Man, wait a minute.

03:34They're trying to add an 18th game, right?

03:36Yeah.

03:38You know, that means an extra Thursday game for play for teams.

03:41So teams might have two, three Thursday games with the extra bi-week.

03:45Aren't the, not really.

03:46It'll still be the same because think about this, Vlad, because there's

03:50already four teams that play two Thursday games, you see what I mean?

03:57Yeah.

03:57I mean, especially if you're more teams and if you're including

04:01the opening night game too, right.

04:05Cause that's tight.

04:05That's on a Thursday, right?

04:08Yeah.

04:08But the opening game, I don't really count the opening

04:10game because you have pretty much two weeks before that opening game.

04:14You want to ask preseason game, the real bastard move by the NFL this

04:18year was putting the chiefs and, uh, and Steelers on Christmas.

04:21That's just on a Wednesday and the Ravens and the Texans as well.

04:25They have Saturday to Wednesday.

04:28So they play the 21st, a Saturday against the Texans, and then

04:33they play Wednesday, the 25th.

04:34So you could be them.

04:36That's a, I mean, it's brutal.

04:38It's the same does, but then, you know, they have technically a short week

04:42cause it's like Sunday, the 15th, they're playing the Browns.

04:45Then they take on Saturday, the Texans and then Wednesday, Pittsburgh.

04:51That's the beginning of the 10 days, man.

04:53That's weird.

04:54It's the same as it is.

04:57It's the same as having a Thursday game.

04:59Uh, it is from the standpoint, other than you get the, uh, the

05:03short from Sunday to Saturday.

05:04That's the only difference.

05:05But I'm saying three, three games in 10 days.

05:09Like crazy, man.

05:11Yep.

05:12Um, anyway, look, as I said, doesn't, you know, like no, one's going to cry for

05:18the dolphins because most of it is out.

05:19Um, but Tua, he was addressing the bills ownership of the Miami dolphins and

05:27his tenure as dolphins quarterback.

05:29Look, sometimes, sometimes you're the hammer, like he is against bill Belichick.

05:33I believe two finished undefeated against Belichick.

05:36Sometimes you're the nail and Josh Allen.

05:38He's like a sledgehammer to the dolphins.

05:40Um, but Tua says that they can say the bills have our number

05:45until we change that it's on them.

05:47That's going to be what's written out there until we do something about that.

05:51That's going to be the narrative that we can't beat the bills.

05:54And until we do beat them and we beat them consistently, like none

05:59of that's going to change.

06:00And we have an opportunity to do that this year.

06:02We have an opportunity to do that this Thursday.

06:05Oh, so sick of it though.

06:09Please get this game statement.

06:14Not for this nonsense.

06:18Well, you're right.

06:20Say the fence lose this game, right?

06:23It's will Tobin come back and say, this is a statement game loss,

06:26or you're going to say that?

06:29Absolutely.

06:30Absolutely.

06:32I would say, look, I don't agree with him, but there's a lot of people that feel,

06:45um, that you got to get over this Buffalo hump.

06:51My only issue with it is when you're talking like this in week two with 15

06:58games left 12 games from now, you ain't going to even remember this game because

07:05they're going to be more important games because then the next thing is going to

07:07be, Oh, now it's December.

07:12Yeah.

07:14But, but I would agree that I would, I would say, I'm not disagreeing with you

07:18that that's definitely going to be a thing, but what I would just say to add

07:22on that is there are many obstacles that the dolphins have to prove they can

07:27overcome and Buffalo was one of them, uh, road, tough games and tougher conditions

07:34are another, and just, I guess, generically beating, you know, teams that

07:39people think are, are high quality is another, like they're all part of it.

07:43I mean, Buffalo just happens to be like the Holy Trinity of all that,

07:47because they can be in bad conditions.

07:49Luckily the dolphins don't have to play them this year in December.

07:52They will play the Cleveland's the green bays, you know, what green

07:57maybe it got easier.

07:57I don't know what's up with Jordan loves me, who knows, but you know, it's

08:01still going to the tundra on, on, uh, and in Thanksgiving.

08:06So just think about this, the next three teams that, um, green Bay plays

08:16have played, um, that's when that's a loss and now Jordan love is hurt.

08:26So do they have to do it all over again?

08:29No, no, no, no, no.

08:30I mean, it is what it is.

08:31Like if, if the, that's a, when that's a loss, God's change it up.

08:34That's a, that's a, that's what it is.

08:35You know, you see, like you run that inherent risk with that.

08:38So when that's a loss, but I think the thing that's great about that.

08:40So when that's a loss is you try and do this with the most ideal situations.

08:45So if you do get thrown a, a great curve ball your way.

08:49So if you are, I don't know who they're taking on this week, but let me, if it's

08:52just Minnesota and you're like, ah, great.

08:55Now we, we didn't think that.

08:57So now maybe you go back to the year old.

08:59That's when that's a loss.

08:59I'm like, Hey, I didn't think that.

09:00So I had them at 11 and five.

09:02Um, but they probably went out there thinking they were going

09:04to have JJ McCarthy, you know?

09:06So they play the Colts in green Bay home opener.

09:10Ooh, the, uh, the Colts, uh, the, the Colts are going to green Bay.

09:13Yes.

09:14With the rocket man.

09:15Interesting.

09:16Yeah.

09:17I guess you see that pass.

09:18He thrown his back foot fading away.

09:19That guy's a horse.

09:20He's half man, half amazing.

09:22Yeah.

09:23It's like that.

09:24And wait, tight spiral.

09:26It wasn't a wobbler.

09:27No, no.

09:30Moose another moose, but he's raw pause.

09:34Like he's really right.

09:35He knew they knew that when he came in 17 games, he's been under

09:40easy started in the last two years.

09:44I don't know, but yeah, that might be it.

09:47Indianapolis might've saw it as a loss before the season.

09:50Now that's a possible one.

09:52That's why I don't play that game.

09:54It's all right.

09:55That's fine.

09:55I understand injuries happen.

09:57That's part of the, that is part of it.

09:59But that's why I don't play with that's when that's a loss.

10:01Cause no, you don't play.

10:01Cause no, no, no, you don't play it.

10:03Cause I like it.

10:03And that's why you don't play.

10:05No, you don't, you don't play it.

10:06Cause you don't like me having fun.

10:07That's what, no, no, it's not stupid.

10:09It's not stupid.

10:11The best radio game ever long in the, in the, in the, in the

10:16archives and annals of radio.

10:18That's a win.

10:19That's a loss is what it's sports.

10:21Radio was birthed on.

10:25Here's two, by the way, he was asked about, uh, the bills and the

10:30idea that, uh, you know, they were able to catch them last year, beat

10:33him in the regular season finale.

10:35Did that leave a sour taste into his mouth?

10:37Here's what two had to say on that.

10:39Is there still any sour taste in your mouth from last year's regular season?

10:44Oh, last year's last year.

10:47Bella, what a political answer.

10:51Oh my gosh.

10:54Last year's last year, bro.

10:56Worry about this year.

10:57Um, you know, so we'll, we'll see what, uh, what we got today.

11:03And then, uh, we'll work its way down to the Thursday and

11:08see what we can do Thursday.

11:10Wow.

11:10Better 7 million makes you a funny man now.

11:13Look at this.

11:14Well, I mean, he almost stopped himself cause he's like, wow, I'm

11:17talking nonsense, right?

11:20I'm lying.

11:21He's capping.

11:22He knew he was good, but no, you know what?

11:24We had the same situation because we played in the, the year we lost

11:30Atlanta to go to the Superbowl the very next year we played, we

11:37opened the season with them.

11:40Right.

11:41And they said, and we beat him and they said, do you feel like you got some revenge?

11:47I'm like, are we going to the Superbowl?

11:49Didn't know.

11:51I don't want to give a rat's ass about this game.

11:53They don't have the same meaning.

11:56This one it.

11:57Yeah.

11:57But it's still a divisional game.

11:58This one's a little bit like I'll give you a divisional game.

12:02You know, Buffalo's going to be there in the end.

12:04This is an opportunity to at least have a one up on them right now.

12:08All that's 100% accurate.

12:11Two is just straight up.

12:12Like, I feel like to, uh, you know, not to overdo the Rocky

12:15references like we did yesterday, but I feel like he's got like a

12:17newspaper photo of, of Sean McDermott on his window.

12:21Or on his mirror.

12:22Wait a minute.

12:22First of all, when you say let's, that means let us, right.

12:30You're the only one that brings up Rocky references.

12:32What do you mean?

12:34Just what I said.

12:34No, we were having fun yesterday, baby.

12:37I did bring a Rocky.

12:39Okay.

12:39All right.

12:40All right.

12:41All right.

12:42I'm just saying like, he's definitely gotta be texting.

12:45I hate this team.

12:46You know, it's cold there.

12:48I've lost there a ton.

12:50I had my ribs broken by this team.

12:53I've had my, my, my playoff seating ruined by this team.

12:57Yeah, of course.

12:58He's got a sour taste in his mouth.

12:59He got to be sick.

13:00If I, if I heard like two, I should look at Buffalo wings and vomit.

13:05That's how sour the taste should be in his mouth.

13:07I mean, it's so I understand that delicious.

13:09I understand, but I don't even care.

13:10Like he, he needs to look like he, it needs to be that kind of vile that

13:15two has to feel with the Buffalo bills.

13:19Disgusting.

13:20Sweet.

13:20That's cool.

13:21Like says, uh, Josh Allen's Drago.

13:25Yes, he has been Drago.

13:27So we got to go fight him in Russia.

13:30Uh, you, I mean, one day you may have to go win in Russia.

13:33Well, I mean, Buffalo might be the equivalent of Russia when any, you

13:36know, if you have to go there in December, I'm not sure if it's not

13:40worse than Russia, they don't jump through their own tables in Russia.

13:46Cause Russia, they just drink vodka and stay warm.
