00:00Leroy, the Miami Dolphins, now that the Washington commanders have made the conference championship
00:11are now the holder of the longest drought of team without a conference final appearance.
00:1932 seasons going back to 1992, one caveat, the Browns haven't been there since 89, but
00:26of course, three seasons, they were not the Cleveland Browns.
00:30They were gone.
00:32You remember that you were there, but let me just tell you right now, I don't want to
00:40be a part of any caveats.
00:43I just wanted to let you know, right?
00:45So, but, but the organization won a Superbowl since then, that organization did win a Superbowl
00:50technically.
00:51Right?
00:52So the tech go tech, technically the new Browns should only come since 2000.
00:56I agree.
00:57Ergo, the Miami Dolphins longest conference championship drought.
01:01So everybody, so everybody else, everybody else has made the conference championship.
01:06Yes.
01:07Other than the Miami Dolphins in the 90s, in 2000, here, let me put this in perspective.
01:18The last time the Miami Dolphins made a conference championship, Ronald Reagan was president.
01:26Nope.
01:27Nope.
01:28Nope.
01:29I got one worse.
01:30There's two teams, three teams that didn't even exist.
01:34Now let me stop.
01:35Wait, wait.
01:36What's the 92?
01:37Was it 92?
01:3892.
01:39No, I'm wrong.
01:40Houston's never made it.
01:41I'm sorry, but they've only been around 23 years.
01:42Okay.
01:43So Houston, Jacksonville's made it.
01:45Carolina's made it.
01:47Superbowl.
01:48Superbowls.
01:49Superbowls.
01:50Yep.
01:51Jets made it back to back in the list right now.
01:5411.
01:55Yeah.
01:56The list right now.
01:57Leroy's right.
01:58I mean, the Browns, the new Browns should really only count.
01:59They should only be 24 years, but they, if you, I guess they got their history back.
02:02So they count for 32 seasons, but it goes back to 89.
02:06They're technically the longest, but it's tied.
02:0789.
02:08The Dolphins.
02:09Guess what happened right after that?
02:11I got there and then we start second.
02:12Sorry, man.
02:13I know.
02:14Are you the mush?
02:15I would like to think I was a mush, but it probably had to do with the 17 guys we had
02:19over 35.
02:21Do you want to know who's second?
02:22Wait, wait.
02:23Second.
02:24Behind the Dolphins.
02:25Oh, no, no, no.
02:26I can guess.
02:27Hold on.
02:28Hold on.
02:29It's not.
02:30Is it the Chargers?
02:31No, no, no.
02:32No, it's not.
02:33Texans.
02:34Nope.
02:35No.
02:36Texans.
02:37Wait, did they make it?
02:38Yes, they did.
02:39No, the Texans have never made it.
02:4023 seasons.
02:41There's a team above them.
02:42Hold on.
02:43It's not the Texans.
02:44The Texans are currently the third longest, if we're not counting the Browns.
02:45It's not the Saints.
02:46Cowboys.
02:47Isn't it?
02:48Oh.
02:49Cowboys.
02:5029 seasons.
02:51Dallas Cowboys.
02:53So basically, here's what I would say about that.
03:01The Cowboys acting like they supposed to be there every year.
03:04I think they got five titles.
03:06But, but, okay.
03:07They got a star.
03:08The star.
03:0929 years.
03:10The star shines more than the Dolphins.
03:11There's people in this building that wasn't born.
03:13That's true.
03:14That's true.
03:15So, so, yeah.
03:16Okay.
03:17So, so do the Steelers.
03:18That don't stop them from wanting to fire their coach.
03:21And he has one.
03:23But they have, they have now the longest, we already know they had the longest playoff
03:26wind drought, 24 years.
03:29And now they also have the longest conference championship berth drought with the commanders
03:34making it.
03:35That is horrific.
03:36Yep.
03:37That's bad.
03:38That's bad, dude.
03:39It's bad.
03:40That's, that, that is, that is shame.
03:41Is that to his fault too?
03:42Because he wasn't born.
03:43Part of it his fault.
03:44Damn, really?
03:45Part of it.
03:46How is it part of his fault?
03:47He was here for part of it.
03:48He's in it.
03:49He was here for part of it.
03:50He's in it.
03:51That's, that's, that's.
03:52The five seasons?
03:53Yeah.
03:54He's responsible for five.
03:55Yeah.
03:56But you still may, you still put your second at 27 years.
04:00That's right.
04:01Yeah.
04:02So.
04:03But yes, he is a part of fault.
04:04And so is Mike McDaniel.
04:05Really?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Okay.
04:08His fault too.
04:09And Chris Greer.
04:10He's probably been here for all of it.
04:11How long has he been here?
04:12He's got 20.
04:13He's been here since like 2000, 2001.
04:14He's been here longer than the Texans have existed.
04:16Yep.
04:17So he owns that too.
04:18Now does the same thing work because you can't do, cause Tennessee went to a Superbowl, but
04:26what they used to be the Oilers.
04:28No, they took that, but they took the Oilers history.
04:31That's why it makes a lot of Oilers, a lot of Oilers fans upset because they wear the
04:35Oilers jerseys.
04:36Yeah.
04:37When they wore those powder blues.
04:38Oh, Tennessee did?
04:39Yeah.
04:40They wore the powder blues.
04:41Houston people got upset about that.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Hey, let me tell you.
04:44That was cool.
04:45That was cool.
04:46Didn't the Titans go their first year in Tennessee or was it their second year?
04:49Was it their first or second year that they went?
04:51What do you mean?
04:52When they got to the Tennessee Titans.
04:53I think it was the first year.
04:54Cause it was a trend of like, if you moved, you would have been in the Superbowl.
04:58You were in the Superbowl right away?
04:59Yeah.
05:00There was like a trend with that.
05:01All I remember is when they first moved to Tennessee, we had to play at Vanderbilt.
05:08That was fun.
05:11You guys complain about your stadium.
05:13Go to a small SEC college and play a football game there.
05:1832 seasons.
05:1932.
05:20Wow.
05:21The Commanders.
05:22What was I doing 32 years ago?
05:23You think the Commanders can pull this off?
05:24That was just the second year.
05:25I was in the league.
05:26What do you feel, though?
05:27You think Jen Daniels, you think that they can pull this off this weekend?
05:30Here's what I think.
05:32I think there's a couple of things that they have going for them.
05:40One is they're young and dumb.
05:43They just bowling, right?
05:45They just look like they out there freewheeling it.
05:49The coaches freewheeling it.
05:51They're playing with house money.
05:53That's what it looks like.
05:54Fourth down, they taking chances down the field.
05:57They going for it.
05:58They doing whatever.
05:59Because guess what?
06:01Did you have them on your bingo card that's going this far?
06:04I did not.
06:05I'm talking about before the season started.
06:07No, definitely not.
06:08Right.
06:09They can play.
06:12We're not expected to be here.
06:15We going to play loose and free.
06:18And that's the kind of the worst teams to play.
06:21You know, fake punts going for it.
06:23Why?
06:24Well, OK.
06:25So what?
06:26House money game against the division rival for the conference.
06:28But here's here's and they beat them once.
06:31But here's the deal.
06:34It's something about Saquon.
06:35Oh, my God.
06:36Like you.
06:37Oh, my God.
06:38I can't believe a franchise let him go.
06:41And nobody got.
06:42Nobody got fired.
06:43How's that?
06:44How's that?
06:45Crazy.
06:46And we wait.
06:47And it wouldn't have been as bad if we hadn't seen it on television of this guy in the owner
06:53telling him, I hope he doesn't go to Philadelphia.
06:56Yeah, it hurt me.
06:59What do you think he felt like when he saw not the first, but the second long when he
07:02was when he was when he did that, do you think he changed his mind about not firing when
07:07he saw Saquon Barkley rush for 80 yards for a touchdown?
07:10You think you got called?
07:11You know what?
07:12You are fired.
07:13See, I would.
07:14I'm sorry, I'm not.
07:15Is that like very rarely at that job?
07:21Do you have a moment where it is clearly identifiable that you did something really wrong?
07:31Yep.
07:32Right.
07:33I mean, you could go through all the other gyms and you could justify a lot of decisions
07:37that were made, right?
07:39You could justify Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning or, you know, you could justify it even if
07:46it didn't work out.
07:47I'm just saying you there were people who could justify it even if it didn't work out.
07:53Eli Manning.
07:54Who's Eli Manning?
07:55Well, over the charge, quarterback Rivers, Philip Rivers, Philip Rivers, Greg Oden over
08:00Kevin Durant.
08:01Right.
08:02You.
08:03What about Jordan?
08:04Sam.
08:05Sam Bui.
08:06Sam Bui over Jordan.
08:07Right.
08:08You could justify all these things at the time.
08:12But this is the decision that you were on national television.
08:20The world could see it in hard knocks and you're saying your owner, your boss is saying.
08:28This Saquon thing, I'd really hate to see him run.
08:31And then six months later, you fast forward to Saquon Parker stabbing himself in the head
08:35in the snow.
08:36Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
08:37You're not even adding the little cherry on top.
08:39Was that you decided prior a year prior to give Danny Dodd 40 million dollars instead
08:46of getting so Saquon the money?
08:48How does that guess?
08:49What was the name?
08:50Shane, John Shane, Joe Shane, Joe Shane, Joe Shane.
08:53Has he got a job?
08:54I don't know.
08:55Has he got a job?
08:56So.
08:57So like, yeah, him and Chris Greer, like you think they have like conference calls on how
09:01to keep their jobs, like Chris was like, Joe, Joe, this thing is that you do is you blame
09:06it on the coach and then you keep the gig.
09:08Oh, that's good.
09:10Chris Greer in the mistakes and some of the decisions that he has made.
09:15Or not even close to as egregious as that, because his boss didn't come in and suggest
09:27we do something else.
09:29It was rumored.
09:30Wasn't it rumored for years, though, that that that Steven Ross told the room Draft
09:33Lamar Jackson.
09:34And they're like, no, no, no, Mr. Ross.
09:36No, I mean, in fairness, I don't know if that's true or not, but I know that was one of those
09:39Dolphins rumors that was kicked around for a while.
09:41In fairness, they both first year.
09:43It's when Daniel Jones went crazy and they had to pay him that year.
09:46So it was either paid a quarterback and a running back.
09:48And most people would say paid a quarterback, even though it was really.
09:51But here, pay the running back here.
09:53But here's what you have to understand, especially with a young quarterback, especially with
10:00a quarterback, you're you're you're if you're the one thing that gives him solid ground
10:05to stand on is is a running game.
10:08Right.
10:10And you made the assumption that what Saquon Barkley was doing, we could do that with anybody.
10:17That's the decision that should have you.
10:20And not acknowledging the greatness of Saquon Barkley and allowing him because you thought
10:27you could save money and get that guy anywhere.
10:31That's the issue.
10:32The issue is not.
10:35Paying Daniel Jones.
10:36The issue is what this guy thought of a guy he had in his system that wanted to stay.
10:46What he thought of a guy when the coach, when the owner came in and had questions himself,
10:51scoffed at him, scoffed at him, this nasty word that right, you know, it's like she upgraded
10:57to it.
10:58You know, I broke up.
10:59You know what this is like.
11:00She upgraded to a tycoon.
11:01Yeah.
11:02And then you got, you know, you're dealing with, you know, hey, you're ready, Betty.
11:07This is what this is like.
11:08Yeah.
11:09Diner.
11:10You haven't seen that new email commercial.
11:12Lima Lima.
11:13Yeah.
11:14Living Mutual.
11:15You know, he's when the guy had the little emu has a stick and he's walking down the
11:19street.
11:20He's a nobody's going to believe it.
11:22He bowed.
11:23He was selling insurance and they show up on TV goes that damn bird did it right.
11:30That's what like it's just great.
11:32Like it's crazy.
11:33It's like it's I think sometimes we get caught up in what we want the team to look like instead
11:44of making the best version of the team we have.
11:48Right.
11:49And so everybody, I want to put my system and I want to put myself.
11:53Yeah, man.
11:54But look at your players.
11:55Like your job is to get the most out of the players you have in front of you.
12:00And so like we sit here and say Quan Barkley, they put so much crap on him his first few
12:05years that he covered up the fact that your quarterback couldn't drop back and throw 40
12:13passes.
12:15Who went with the quarterback and said, we can get somebody else to do what Saquon Barkley
12:18does.
