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.
07:12Yeah.
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.
12:40All 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.
