Local Hour: The Weak One Of Week 1

Speaker 1 Alright, Smirnoff.

Speaker 2 Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka.

Speaker 4 Here's the deal: game day is everything.

Speaker 3 The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

Speaker 3 Smirnoff belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff.

Speaker 5 Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 3 They've been doing this since 1864, which is.

Speaker 3 I don't even want to do the math. A long time.
They're award-winning. They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.

Speaker 2 So yeah, we do game days.

Speaker 3 That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should too.

Speaker 7 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 8 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 9 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo.

Speaker 10 I think it could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 11 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 12 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 7 The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Speaker 10 Cuervo.

Speaker 7 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 13 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 7 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 14 Proximo, quervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Speaker 15 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 17 It really does. I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.

Speaker 18 I've seen those waffle challenges. Those look delightful.

Speaker 19 You're stressing me out with that soundboard.

Speaker 18 Well, fantasy football is stressful.

Speaker 17 So stressful that it can lead to nighttime teeth grinding. Dentech's mouth guards help with nighttime teeth grinding.

Speaker 8 I'm worried, Zaslow and and Cody, that we've got too many people here today and too much show, and we've already started with sparks because, Zaslow, could you tell what Greg was mad about,

Speaker 8 why he stormed from the room?

Speaker 10 It's fairly obvious.

Speaker 21 He's upset that, and I'm not trying to talk as if you're not in front of me, all right? But Greg was clearly upset that none of his topics

Speaker 21 were on the billboard for the show. There's a lot to get to today.
Greg specifically is upset that none of his topics are on the billboard.

Speaker 23 Well, I'm not throwing anybody under the bus, but I do spend 15 or 20 minutes the morning, the very, very early morning before coming in here, to write out my topics. And I send them.

Speaker 23 Now, in fairness, I didn't know Roy was going to be in that seat. I did not send them to Roy, so part of that is on me.
But they need to be distributed and represented accordingly.

Speaker 8 I saw his rage that he wasn't properly represented in the meeting when, with a sports weekend like that, you don't need anyone to come in with any topics. It's fine.

Speaker 8 We can talk about anything that happened this weekend

Speaker 8 for four straight onwards.

Speaker 19 I'm not going to let Dan do this today. This is a big Monday.

Speaker 24 Dad, I'm sorry. I did not put your topics on.

Speaker 19 That is 1,000% on me. You work very hard on those topics.
Wow. And I should have had them up there as soon as you were in here.

Speaker 25 Wow, who are you?

Speaker 24 On me. And we're going to have a great show today.
I love you so much. I love working with you.
Love spending time with you. You're a great person.
Wow.

Speaker 8 Who is that person? That's an accountable Chris Cody rising up the executive ranks at Metalark by taking accountability for places where he has been a bad leader or a bad organizer.

Speaker 10 Man, he said that so you can move the show along and get to football, not so you can stay there, so you can get to the football.

Speaker 8 The show hasn't started yet.

Speaker 10 The shit stirring as

Speaker 26 the heat got zero votes to make the book, God, I'm just over this guy's topics.

Speaker 23 Wait a minute. You were just nice to me.

Speaker 27 It just came with you.

Speaker 21 It's a lot of good topics on the board, though, Greg.

Speaker 14 You would admit, right?

Speaker 8 Greg, you would admit that, look, I've never seen that Dolphins game before.

Speaker 8 In my lifetime, I've been watching this team for 50 years. I've never experienced that game.
I've seen them lose 62-7.

Speaker 8 What happened yesterday puts the Dolphins like so

Speaker 8 far behind the best things happening in that sport that I could do four hours on the Dolphins or I could ignore them all show today.

Speaker 21 If you did a one through 32 list, say Dolphins are 32, right?

Speaker 8 I mean, everybody played close games yesterday except the Giants, the Jags, that game.

Speaker 8 All the games were close.

Speaker 4 They're only a game back in the AFC East.

Speaker 29 They're two-point favorites. They're two-point favorites this weekend.

Speaker 4 I mean, if it wasn't for a miraculous comeback, they would have been first in the AFCs this morning.

Speaker 4 So, you know, things are looking up.

Speaker 8 They are two-point favorites against the Patriots this weekend.

Speaker 23 And what does that tell you?

Speaker 22 That's worth exploring.

Speaker 14 The whole league standards. What does that state?

Speaker 31 The whole league stands for the future.

Speaker 8 The whole league is the greatest thing we've ever seen. Because I certainly went into that final game last night saying, okay, well, clearly the story tomorrow is going to be the four-time MVP.

Speaker 8 Jets Steelers, the lowest total in the sport goes way over,

Speaker 8 is the highest scoring game. Because, holy shit, wait a minute.
Do the Jets and Steelers have offense? Because we know they both have defense.

Speaker 8 So that was pretty good offense happening to pretty good defenses. Oh, no, that's not the biggest story.
The biggest story is going to happen is the punctuation to the evening when the Ravens,

Speaker 8 the most flawed, great team I've ever seen, that happens to them more often than it happens to anybody else.

Speaker 21 I love when that happens to them.

Speaker 14 I love it.

Speaker 28 You have to love it. It happened to them three times more.

Speaker 8 Like no other team in the sport has had it happen even three times as much as it's happened to Hardbaugh. Eight times, a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 21 I love watching them lose like that.

Speaker 23 And talk about two great offenses overcoming two pretty solid defenses. That's another example of that, even more so for me than Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 All right, we're going to have to start with the Dolphins, though. Go ahead, start the show.

Speaker 5 I want to talk about home security for a minute. For the longest time, I thought it was just alarms and sirens that once somebody breaks in, you deal with it.

Speaker 14 But when you think about it, that's already too late.

Speaker 5 That's reactive. I had my car broken into on my property a while back.
The only thing I could do was call 911. That's reactive.
I don't like leaving things up to chance.

Speaker 14 That's why I decided to install SimplySafe. Why?

Speaker 5 Because they flipped the idea of home security by making it proactive. Their Active Guard Outdoor Protection uses AI-powered cameras to actually identify people lurking around your property.

Speaker 9 And here's the key.

Speaker 5 Simply Safe's monitoring agents step in before anything goes down. They'll talk directly to intruders through the camera, light them up with spotlights, and even call the cops if they need to.

Speaker 5 That's not reacting, that's stopping crime before it starts. No contracts, no hidden fees.
That's why they've been named best home security system by U.S.

Speaker 14 News and World Report five years in a row.

Speaker 5 And they back it up with a 60-day money-back guarantee. SimplySafe is offering Lebatard show listeners 50% off a new system with professional monitoring.

Speaker 5 Football is back, Jack. Oh my, we've waited for so long.

Speaker 5 We're so damn excited that we put it in a song. No need, no check downs.
Give me big hits and quarterbacks. Keep your fantasy team from falling off the track.

Speaker 5 football is back jack

Speaker 5 whether on the ground or through the air

Speaker 5 when the chips are down and you throw a prayer

Speaker 5 when your team is primed and on the hunt

Speaker 5 it's four to ten you refuse to punch

Speaker 5 when the shoulder pads and helmets crack that's how you know that football is backjack.

Speaker 5 Let me hear you say

Speaker 5 Football is backjack.

Speaker 5 This high is wild and out of control.

Speaker 5 And we're gonna ride it every week till we reach the Super Bowl. No need, no check downs.

Speaker 5 It'll be big hits and quarterbacks.

Speaker 5 If you say this game's the best, I'll say the gag.

Speaker 5 Football is back.

Speaker 5 Football is back.

Speaker 5 Football is back.

Speaker 5 Football is back.

Speaker 8 I really, I really did think that I was going to start the show today with

Speaker 8 Jet Steelers, four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. What was that sound? What happened?

Speaker 19 It's the Dolphins. They do it to me.
Sorry, that was me.

Speaker 10 No, there was a yeah there. Is that the end of the song? Is there like.

Speaker 14 I don't know what that was.

Speaker 8 I was trying to just cover it up. I thought there was a child somewhere in the studio.

Speaker 14 It sounded like Rose.

Speaker 14 Okay.

Speaker 10 Well, the Peshmode enjoy the silence fake out.

Speaker 8 I thought I was going to start the show today, four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers, 60-yard field goal, Jalen Ramsey at the end of that game. I didn't think anyone would feel worse today than Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 8 I thought that's the person in the sport who was going to feel the worst. Oh my God, I dropped the ball.
I don't know how the kicker from the Browns spells his name.

Speaker 8 How do we spell that last name for the Browns kicker?

Speaker 14 Missed it.

Speaker 8 I think that guy was going to feel really bad today, and then Jalen Ramsey does that to Garrett Wilson, and I thought that was the best

Speaker 14 game of the day.

Speaker 8 And then the night game happens.

Speaker 8 And what happens in the night game, and I gave the stat poorly before, so this has happened to the ravens they have lost eight times since 2021 when in the game at the end of the game they've got a win probability of over 90 percent like they do last night in the fourth quarter where they're up 15 and derrick henry doesn't fumble like that derrick henry is averaging 10 yards a carry there's no way the ravens can lose that game they kick the bills ass up and down the field when he fumbled there i look the first thought that came to my mind was i don't think i've ever seen derrick henry fumble

Speaker 8 it happens very infrequently It happened once last year, and I reacted as if Chewbacca had run across the field. Like,

Speaker 8 you know, a space alien had appeared because Derrick Henry doesn't fumble. He was averaging 10 yards of carry in that game.
10 yards of carry. Everybody knows he's going to get the...

Speaker 8 How is that person still doing that?

Speaker 8 How is he still? He ran through the SEC like that. And I'm like, well, that's going to carve up his body.

Speaker 8 How is that person still Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams and faster than everyone else at a size that's not normal? How is that body not breaking down?

Speaker 21 I did a lot of thinking to myself last night during that game, you'll notice. And I also thought, Derrick Henry might be the best running back ever.

Speaker 21 And I don't know that that's a crazy thing to say because when is he actually going to slow down? Because if he keeps doing this

Speaker 21 for years and years, like it's just

Speaker 8 lunacy, okay? At that sport, disposable position, even he got, the Ravens got him cheap because it's a disposable position.

Speaker 8 Marianne Barber, if you run like that, your career will be over in three years.

Speaker 8 If you are Sean Alexander and you run like that, you can't keep running like that. You cannot keep being more physical than all the young people in that sport.

Speaker 10 Yeah, at that size too. It's carrying your own weight.

Speaker 10 Like Marion Barber was a very violent runner, but carrying your own weight, falling down when you're that big at that position, that also takes a toll. He's just unprecedented in that way.

Speaker 22 I understand why you want to talk about Derrick Henry, but from that game, it was pretty obvious to the eye how overwhelming Baltimore has that offense.

Speaker 10 They are so talented. You just have DeAndre Hopkins as a ball-winning role player on that team.

Speaker 10 And you just look at Buffalo and you're like, there is quite a gulf in offensive talent between these teams, but they have that quarterback.

Speaker 23 And he was unbelievable.

Speaker 33 And really, where the game might have been won, I know there's a 15-point comeback that everybody wants to talk about.

Speaker 10 Their execution at the end of the first half, when you look at that game in totality, those are just incredible winning plays by Josh Allen, who might be the second greatest quarterback of all time, just unlucky enough to be playing in the same generation as Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 8 All right, I'm going to slow everything down here because when you say unlucky enough to play same generation of Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes empirically yards per attempt.

Speaker 8 Since he lost Tyree Kill, only Daniel Jones throws the ball less downfield than Patrick Mahomes every time he drops back.

Speaker 8 So whatever you're remembering about what Patrick Mahomes was with Tyree Kill, since then, he does not throw the ball down the field. And you've seen what's happened to the Chiefs since then.

Speaker 8 Everyone's caught up to them. Like, they're not going to win all those one-score games anymore because they can't get the ball downfield.

Speaker 8 But in the breaking up of the Chiefs, when Tyreek Hill was saying, we can win seven, eight championships, him going deep all the time, and then he comes to Miami. And Miami takes...

Speaker 8 The two years that are left of his prime, run through his body. And now what I saw yesterday was, and

Speaker 8 I am not being prisoner of the moment with this, even as Zaz says, Derrick Henry, best running back ever, and Mike's here, Josh Allen, best quarterback ever.

Speaker 8 I'm saying that dolphin game, I've been watching dolphin football for 50 years.

Speaker 28 It's a horror movie.

Speaker 8 I've never seen that game before where it's not your dad complaining they can't stop anybody. No,

Speaker 8 they could not stop.

Speaker 8 Daniel Jones and the Colts empirically, as the Colts looked like the best offensive football team there's ever been statistically that touches the ball seven times, scores seven times because the Dolphins can't stop anybody, and then two is terrible as well.

Speaker 8 And Zaslow comes in here today, comes in here today, guys, on fire and wants to blow the whole thing up.

Speaker 14 That's right.

Speaker 21 I'm glad you said that. We're starting the show today with truth bombs.
That's a good place to start on a Monday. Yeah, I'm firing Mike McDaniel.
And I'm not someone who fires the coach.

Speaker 21 I'm not someone who takes the lazy approach and blames the coach. Oh, this happens on the coach.

Speaker 8 No, no, no.

Speaker 21 I've seen enough at this point.

Speaker 21 When you look at the Dolphins, is there any part of you? And we can take all of last year. And now we had eight months, eight months to wait and look forward to yesterday.

Speaker 21 And all of the talk, all the conversation around Mike McDaniel, all the criticism, all the noise, all the culture talk.

Speaker 21 And that's the very first game, that right there, there is no way that anyone can look at Mike McDaniel and and say, that is a coach who could take you to a Super Bowl. You cannot make that case.

Speaker 21 And if that's the case, what are we waiting for? I get rid of him today. You can't have all offseason, and that's what you put out there.
I get rid of him today.

Speaker 8 Zaslow also says it's over for Tua.

Speaker 21 It is over for Tua. And the reason that I say that is because I think that we're going to look back.

Speaker 21 And we're all going to remember that game yesterday as we can now, like Tua is is super polarizing. I've been in on Tua.
You're either in, you're out, like very polarizing.

Speaker 21 I think we're all going to look back one day and we're all going to remember we were all on the same page after that Colts game when it comes to Tua.

Speaker 21 There was something wrong with him yesterday. I don't know if it's because of the injuries that he's had in the past or whatever it is, but that was a really bad quarterback.

Speaker 8 That's the worst game I've seen him play. And it's not only the worst game I've seen him play.
There are some others.

Speaker 8 That dolphin game felt like all the games when two was out, and they have to go to the backup quarterback, and you know they're not going to get any offense.

Speaker 8 Let's examine this for a second, because I'm not being prisoner of the moment when I say that dolphin game has never been played. It's not something any of us have ever seen.

Speaker 8 Greg Cody's been covering the team forever. You've never seen that game.
Let me give you some of the stats, okay? Because they were the only team beaten like that yesterday.

Speaker 8 The only one in the entire sport, and it was Daniel Jones, unstoppable Daniel Jones. You can tell me all you want about he's going to be improved in that offense and everything else.

Speaker 8 There was no pass rush, there was no coverage, they could not stop a team that was unstoppable for seven drives.

Speaker 4 We also are not mentioning and haven't taken into account that they were playing for Jim Mercy.

Speaker 36 That's true.

Speaker 4 So, there was a lot of emotions running high yesterday as well, Dan.

Speaker 8 So, some stats for you. Thank you, Billy.
The Colts were winless in their last 11 home openers.

Speaker 8 The 43 yards the Dolphins had in the first half is the fewest since 1991.

Speaker 14 Okay.

Speaker 8 The Colts hadn't scored, okay,

Speaker 14 on the possessions that way.

Speaker 8 Going down, the 15-play drives, they had three 15-play drives. They had five all of last year.

Speaker 30 All of last year, the Colts had five.

Speaker 8 You tell me if you guys have ever seen that Dolphin game ever played before, where you can simply not stop someone and you know you've got no chance of coming back. You're down 30 to nothing.

Speaker 8 No, every every game in that sport is close

Speaker 8 and you're down 30 to nothing and no chance of coming back.

Speaker 21 And it's a team that, like I know Greg was saying in the week leading up to yesterday, how, you know, Dolphins, you look at the schedule, that's a game you got to win, okay?

Speaker 21 The Colts, I'm not going to say the Colts are bad. Colts were an average team last year.

Speaker 21 And you have to take that into account where they lost that way to an average team last year who, by all accounts, was being quarterbacked by a bad quarterback.

Speaker 21 That's why I think think we've never seen what we saw yesterday.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I was in Jacksonville when they lost 62-7

Speaker 23 in Dan Marino's last game. So I'm not going to call it the worst Dolphins performance ever.
I am going to say, and I wrote in my column, I was as vicious as I can possibly be about that performance.

Speaker 23 It was inexcusable. It was sub-putrid.

Speaker 23 Every worst fear of a Dolphin fan was not only came true, but was magnified. I'm not going to equivocate how awful the Dolphins played.
As I wrote, they were the week one on week one.

Speaker 36 But I'm also

Speaker 14 like, yeah, I said it right.

Speaker 23 When I quote myself, you know, I like the line.

Speaker 23 But I'm also not going to overrate it. See, I knew we were going to get this today, okay? I knew what I was walking into.
What tipped you off? I knew what I was walking into.

Speaker 23 The fact that, fire everybody, fire Tua, trade this guy mcdaniel's out he's i was actually making fun of that in the column about how this is this stink is so colossal zach wilson that it's going to be major over yeah zach wilson went in garbage time which describes the dolphins and tire i think we should add a seventh offensive specialist huh bobby slowic not enough we brought in so many coaches the same like they they got you figured out mike mcdaniel yeah they got you figured out with this offense show me something okay so this is to figure out it's been crazy other specialists

Speaker 8 The way we analyze this sport is crazy. Hey, when Tyreek's faster than everyone else, the Dolphins have great offense.

Speaker 8 And when he's not, oh, oh, they're fragile.

Speaker 32 But

Speaker 8 you guys are funny in that Billy and Greg said must-win week one. Well, it was.

Speaker 2 I'm sticking to that.

Speaker 4 This season's over.

Speaker 34 I'm not, Zaz is.

Speaker 14 I'm telling you right now. Season's over.
It is over.

Speaker 14 No, it is.

Speaker 14 Obviously not. You said it was a must-win.
Yeah, it's over. And they lost by 25.

Speaker 23 Allow me to explain. Do it into the mic, maybe.
I said it was a must-win from the standpoint of energizing a blase fan base, which they failed miserably to do.

Speaker 30 But

Speaker 23 when you all say the season's over, comical excess, comical overreaction, it does not surprise me in the least.

Speaker 23 In fact, I would have predicted that Miami would be a slight favorite at home against New England next week.

Speaker 23 Even bad teams tend to bounce back, particularly in a home opener. Dolphins have won several home openers in a row.

Speaker 23 The idea that the Dolphins are going to be one and one a week from now is not the least bit improbable.

Speaker 23 And I think we just have to not fire everybody and not do anything so drastic after even the worst performance.

Speaker 8 But for you to go from must-win, Greg, and

Speaker 8 me to be here saying worst, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. It's just I've never seen that.

Speaker 8 They lost 62-7, and I think they were up early in that game like i think did they score first like it wasn't it wasn't what that was right like it it and i understand that the that the jags offense but we're talking week one on must win brunette was so good after after that game and it's as it's so calamitous that anyone who watched it can tell you for that day oh that's the worst team in the league the dolphins are the worst team in the league and i watched the saints i watched the saints yesterday line was pretty bad yeah the uh the uh fan base is really upset dan gnarly tweets offense clicking defense clicking dead owner so jealous of the colts today

Speaker 6 you know when nobody tells you about being a new dad it's not just the diapers and the wipes that's obvious it's the hidden stuff the baby swing after we already purchased the other baby swing the bouncer the pack and play the 20 different bottles because apparently my kid hates every single one except the most expensive one which is the glass by the way don't get me started on late food delivery orders with my wife and me too tired to even look or cook or think about food.

Speaker 37 Wake him up.

Speaker 8 Uh-oh.

Speaker 8 He doesn't want to be bothered anymore. Now it's getting tense because he didn't need that as a result.
He needs something that happens.

Speaker 14 You can see it. Mother F.A.

Speaker 37 Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now?

Speaker 8 Turn on your microphone, Greg.

Speaker 14 My microphone's on.

Speaker 27 Stugats. Paint the scene.

Speaker 37 Paint the scene is I gotta go to work. Good night.

Speaker 12 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 8 Andrew Luck made a comeback yesterday.

Speaker 38 Thank you for bringing this up, Dan. We have video.
ESPN did like these original. I don't even know what this is.
Some sort of documentary where they're just like a day in the life. of Andrew Luck.

Speaker 38 And it just, you know what made me smile on a dark day with the dolphins?

Speaker 19 it was that I know we have it we're gonna get this video ready, but this is just Andrew Luck if we were doing a parody of what Andrew Life's Luck's life is like now This is what it would be hit it guys this place

Speaker 14 It's magical

Speaker 26 What a great life I have

Speaker 26 I Get to ride my bike to work every day That is like a spoof.

Speaker 14 That is

Speaker 8 if you told me that that was Mike Ryan who was doing that, that he was in costume and

Speaker 8 that is perfect as spoof.

Speaker 8 That bicycle, that helmet are ridiculous.

Speaker 8 Do you really?

Speaker 19 Electric bike, by the way, cheating a little bit.

Speaker 8 The Colts haven't looked as good as they looked yesterday since that guy.

Speaker 39 It's magical.

Speaker 22 Why was Greg screaming nerd at him?

Speaker 24 I mean, come on. He's not wrong.

Speaker 19 Let's play the full thing again. I need this again every life.

Speaker 8 I mean, it's really good. The helmet is what you'd imagine it would be.
The music isn't even something that we created. It's just the soundtrack in his head.

Speaker 13 This place,

Speaker 39 it's magical.

Speaker 26 What a great life I have.

Speaker 26 I get to ride my bike to work every day.

Speaker 27 Of course, Andrew Luck, when he makes a left turn on his bike, he does the hand signal.

Speaker 22 Of course, he is.

Speaker 32 Of like making the left here. On your left.

Speaker 14 Yeah. On your left.

Speaker 21 That's not Saturday Night Live, right?

Speaker 8 Mike Ryan, are you jealous of the way that he says magical when talking about Stanford and goes and gets it from the Fleming part of his joy? Go.

Speaker 39 It's magical.

Speaker 22 I'm jealous I didn't think of this.

Speaker 6 I get to ride my bike towards him.

Speaker 8 But that bike, if you had thought of it, tell me what you would have put on that bike. Maybe like one of the little bells?

Speaker 14 Like, what would you have put on that bike?

Speaker 14 That's all that's missing.

Speaker 8 But that bike is the safest bike that's ever been ridden.

Speaker 4 Well, the front looks like it's for a child to be sitting, and he has children.

Speaker 32 Give it to me again.

Speaker 14 Give it to me again.

Speaker 28 That helmet.

Speaker 13 Place.

Speaker 39 It's magical.

Speaker 26 What a great life I have.

Speaker 26 I get to ride my bike to work every day. I get to ride my bike to work.

Speaker 8 And Andrew Luck did not wear a helmet that thick when he was playing football.

Speaker 23 I think that video should have ended with two Hell's Angels running him off the road.

Speaker 39 It's magical.

Speaker 34 Why? Stanford seems lovely.

Speaker 32 Like, he seems happy.

Speaker 22 We're laughing at this man's happiness.

Speaker 14 No, I love him.

Speaker 8 No, jealous of his happiness.

Speaker 8 He is, look he's got it figured out on his very safe bicycle no one is gonna do to him what could have happened to penix at the goal line if pennex weren't an extraterrestrial there was so much from yesterday's football uh to talk about but i'm magical they're going to by the way stanford like it's magical now but buddy

Speaker 8 start being a little stressed out here billy's team look i don't know billy got a lot of texts this weekend we're not going to do a lot of college football today, although I suspect we'll make fun of the Gators.

Speaker 8 But Billy, I imagine you got a lot of texts when your team, the FIU, Golden Panthers,

Speaker 8 like the Cardinal, the FIU, are down 10-0 at number two Penn State deep into the third quarter.

Speaker 4 They had a chance to take a lead, 3-0 at the beginning of that game. Willie went for it.

Speaker 4 A fourth down within field goal range, Willie went for it, which, by the way, I co-signed on that because I was texting along.

Speaker 4 They didn't get it, but I was texting along. I said, you know what? You're not going to beat Penn State playing scared.
Got to go for it there.

Speaker 4 Now, granted, when you end up losing, you know, 35 to nothing, garbage time points, but whatever. When you end up losing 35-0, three would have looked nice in the scoreboard.

Speaker 8 That was a good showing by FIU.

Speaker 4 Hell yeah, it was.

Speaker 22 Are you kidding me?

Speaker 14 That was awesome.

Speaker 10 They got some push early on.

Speaker 4 I was getting texts from people I haven't heard from in some time saying, you know, if FIU, if they cover the spread,

Speaker 2 they should cancel school on Monday, ScoMani.

Speaker 21 Am I the the only one who knows?

Speaker 2 Everyone was watching that game for some reason. I didn't understand it.
So many people were texting me about FIU Penn State SS.

Speaker 21 Am I the only one who knows that they didn't score?

Speaker 33 Yeah, and

Speaker 10 it is a little odd.

Speaker 14 It was a good game.

Speaker 10 Everyone just remembers that it was tightly contested for about two and a half quarters.

Speaker 14 Not two and a half.

Speaker 4 They were down 20-0 with like five minutes left in the fourth.

Speaker 34 It was a close game.

Speaker 27 Did they lose their vote?

Speaker 10 Everyone's like super jacked.

Speaker 33 They scored zero points.

Speaker 10 Anytime that you can score zero points points at stake college, you've got to be fired up.

Speaker 21 Has anyone ever been pleased with their performance when scoring zero points? It's sad.

Speaker 23 It is. And nothing personal, Billy, but when you're all miserable.

Speaker 14 Very personal.

Speaker 23 When you're excited about losing 35 to nothing, that's a bad sign.

Speaker 1 That's A. B,

Speaker 23 you don't think Penn State let up a little bit? They could have won 50 to nothing if they wanted to. Come on.

Speaker 10 I mean, they were pouring it on at the end. They were going for style points.

Speaker 32 Well, because they couldn't get them at the beginning of the game.

Speaker 22 Yeah,

Speaker 10 they were trying trying to score touchdowns with a minute left. It was James Franklin doing his absolute best, James Franklin.

Speaker 14 I don't want to bury Billy for being excited about his team that scored zero points.

Speaker 34 I'll tell you people that don't want to be happy.

Speaker 8 Greg, it was 35-0, but in the third quarter, it looked... Everyone was asking Billy, is your defense good? That's the number two team in the country.

Speaker 8 It was squeezed over Arch Manning in front of the, right behind the defending champions. We're all assuming that's a good football team.
Okay. And FIU goes on the road

Speaker 8 and they're down 10-0 and in the game in the third quarter.

Speaker 23 This is

Speaker 23 a great example of the one reason why I prefer the NFL over college football. In that game, there was zero chance FIU was going to win that game.

Speaker 4 Well, FIU, you played closer to Penn State than the Dolphins did to the Colts.

Speaker 23 It was like Bethune-Cookman against Miami Hurricanes. It's just a matter of how badly are they going to lose.
Did you hear what Billy said? Yeah, I did.

Speaker 8 Because you're in here defending the Dolphins today.

Speaker 14 That's not

Speaker 23 I am not defending the Dolphins today.

Speaker 6 You said that Mike McDaniel should get promoted.

Speaker 8 Greg, this is where the flames are on this. Pete Prisco, CBS.

Speaker 8 Quote, the problem is Mike McDaniel. I think his seat just got really, really hot, and all the realies are capitalized.
Like both of them are capitalized, all the letters.

Speaker 23 No shit. No duh, Pete Prisco.
No duh. I wrote that in my column.
By the way, I have a column on the game that you might want to read in the Miami Hero because I said exactly that.

Speaker 23 I said, everybody knows Mike McDaniel came came into this season coaching for his job, but nobody expected the heat to be turned up this high after one effing game. I wrote all that.

Speaker 23 I am not apologizing for the Dolphins in any way. What I'm doing is

Speaker 23 getting over the overreaction that, hey, because they lost this game the way they did, McDaniels has no future with this team. Tua's done.

Speaker 14 They've gotten progressively worse with Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 21 From year one to right now, they've gotten progressively worse.

Speaker 23 They were pretty good in year two.

Speaker 8 I know, I understand, but from one two three four now they've gotten progressively worse yeah right if you want to judge this season by one of 17 games you're welcome greg that's all we have i i do think it's fair to say with eight months of prep and with you saying and billy saying it was a must-win game even though i laughed at you guys about

Speaker 8 the absurdity of that

Speaker 8 to have the game played that way again everyone's watching That's the worst team in the league. They cannot stop the Colts.
It's empirical, and it hasn't been seen in the league in a long time.

Speaker 8 Like that team had Peyton Manning. It's been like a decade since they had that kind of drive efficiency.
They don't, no team in the sport scores all seven times it touches the football.

Speaker 14 Like that's not a thing.

Speaker 23 I couldn't agree more. And I want to quote myself again because you guys are saying things that I wrote as if I don't believe in all that.

Speaker 23 I'm quoting myself. I mean, seriously, Miami had an entire off-season, a whole training camp, and then a full preason to come out like this?

Speaker 8 What was that? Is the this capitalized?

Speaker 23 The this is in ITELS.

Speaker 18 I love itels. Itals.
Oh, yeah. I love itels.

Speaker 14 Because

Speaker 23 I picture the reader obeying the itel and going like this.

Speaker 8 Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Our italics, the lords font.

Speaker 14 Yeah, we love that.

Speaker 22 Just a quick correction.

Speaker 4 FIU only lost 34-0, not 30.

Speaker 14 Oh, wow, nothing. So it's close to that.
Billy, I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 Billy, I'm sorry they urinated on your joy that way.

Speaker 34 That's fine. Shoeable is this week.
Joy?

Speaker 4 Greg's worried because he knows what's coming for FAU this week, the Shoeable.

Speaker 22 FIU, FAU, and I'm on the call, so I'm going to be be talking a lot of shit to you, Greg Cody.

Speaker 23 The prestigious shoeable.

Speaker 14 Urinated.

Speaker 4 What gets you happy at this advanced age in your life?

Speaker 23 Everything gets me happy. I got a big grin on my face.

Speaker 14 Urinated?

Speaker 10 I mean, we only, there was a lot of pro-FIU spin on that, and I think we just helpfully pointed out zero points worth.

Speaker 14 Zero points!

Speaker 4 I got to be honest with you, the fact that you guys are this worried about FIU's successes or failures is more telling on you than it is on me.

Speaker 4 What are you guys afraid of? Dad, can you believe me? Why are you afraid to schedule FIU?

Speaker 22 Billy being a homer.

Speaker 14 I've scheduled him since you lost FIU, if I remember correctly. Yeah, that's what's happening.

Speaker 4 If I remember correctly, I also would say FIU and UM have one common opponent this season, Bethune Cookman. FIU won that game 42-9.

Speaker 4 And I believe you guys won, what, 45-3?

Speaker 3 Not that different, those two teams, I would say.

Speaker 10 Hey, listeners, it's Mike. Hey, Billy Gill.

Speaker 34 Hey.

Speaker 10 Hey, Billy, as a proud member of your inner circle. Remember when we were hanging out last weekend?

Speaker 36 Oh, yeah, fishtail palms.

Speaker 10 Fishtail palms, great memories we made, kids playing in the pool and in our hands, a nice ice-cold can of Miller Light.

Speaker 14 It was so hot out.

Speaker 34 I know, but it was so cold in my hand.

Speaker 10 We took that first sip.

Speaker 22 It was crisp.

Speaker 10 It was refreshing. Oh, man, there is nothing like cracking open a Miller Light with your crew and your inner circle bones.

Speaker 34 Hell yeah.

Speaker 33 We fist bumped.

Speaker 10 Whether it's, we actually really did.

Speaker 14 Whether it's that touchdown.

Speaker 22 It didn't make a sound, but it just thought.

Speaker 14 Bam! Boom.

Speaker 10 Whether it's that touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy fantasy lineups, you and I did plenty of that.

Speaker 34 Miller Light has been the taste that you can depend on for 50 years.

Speaker 10 Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes, and that iconic golden color. And here's a kicker, Billy.

Speaker 14 What?

Speaker 22 It's just 96 calories.

Speaker 10 What?

Speaker 34 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 10 The original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 12 this is the Dan Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 8 I don't know how good or bad, obviously, FIU is at offense.

Speaker 38 They have a guy named Chainsaw.

Speaker 4 What are you talking about?

Speaker 8 This is a Billy Gill specialty.

Speaker 8 This is his beat, and so he can tell you how good they are.

Speaker 8 But I assume that they had zero points in that game in the third quarter because

Speaker 1 they were going for it.

Speaker 2 Because Willie said, you know what? Foot on the gas.

Speaker 4 We're not going to let up.

Speaker 2 We're not kicking field goals.

Speaker 4 And, you know, they didn't score the touchdown, but they also didn't settle for field goals. That's right.

Speaker 9 They said, we're not kicking field goals because we're not scoring any points.

Speaker 14 We don't want to score.

Speaker 8 I assume.

Speaker 4 I feel for all of you, honestly. You guys are sad, pathetic people.

Speaker 21 Your team scored zero.

Speaker 34 Yeah. Zero points.

Speaker 6 How'd you have to?

Speaker 14 Yo, I don't know why you brought it up. We're not talking about UF, all right?

Speaker 32 We're talking about FIU right now.

Speaker 14 Oh, okay.

Speaker 34 Hold on, everybody.

Speaker 23 My L's won.

Speaker 36 Sorry, you went to Santa Fe after saying that.

Speaker 23 Yo, FAU, big win yesterday. Hoot hoop.
Or Saturday, whenever the hell it was.

Speaker 18 Who'd they play?

Speaker 23 I can't remember. Some bad team.
Famu, I think. AM, the tough rattlers, but FAU with a big one.

Speaker 4 Why are you disparaging FAU?

Speaker 25 Foul owl on the prowl.

Speaker 23 I'm not. The owl's one big.
They're either 2-0 or 1-1.

Speaker 14 I gotta look that up.

Speaker 8 I'm sorry I brought this dissent of.

Speaker 14 I don't think you are.

Speaker 4 I think you're happy everyone's fighting with each other. I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 We play Andrew Luck.

Speaker 4 He's so happy, and everyone's laughing at him.

Speaker 2 Then we start taking shots at each other's successes or non-failures.

Speaker 8 You're coming at me right now.

Speaker 14 Can we we hear it again?

Speaker 8 No, yeah, which one? Andrew Locke? Let's, yeah, go ahead, play it again.

Speaker 13 This place,

Speaker 39 it's magical.

Speaker 14 Is it?

Speaker 26 What a great life I have.

Speaker 26 I get to ride my bike to work every day.

Speaker 8 It's honestly how I imagined his life was, all of it.

Speaker 8 I imagine that that's what he was doing in retirement, an old school educator driving, you know, riding his bike to campus to live the rest of his life without concussions.

Speaker 39 It's magical.

Speaker 21 I'm just going to say it out loud.

Speaker 21 Riding your bike to work is not even close to as good as driving your car.

Speaker 6 Especially in a suit.

Speaker 8 Car is so much better than a bike.

Speaker 21 Nobody has a choice. Do you want a bike or do you want a car? And they say, you know what, I'd rather have a bike.

Speaker 8 You really got that off your chest there.

Speaker 8 The game for the Miami Dolphins, and I will get off this subject, okay?

Speaker 8 I will get this sent off of me in 10 minutes, and we will talk about the rest of the insanity that was yesterday and the weekend. But

Speaker 8 you guys see that Orioles game?

Speaker 14 It's a good Orioles game.

Speaker 8 No, there was so much in the weekend.

Speaker 8 They were one out from being no hit, and then they scored four runs to football.

Speaker 33 Yeah, you can cuss what's happening right now.

Speaker 26 Ridiculous.

Speaker 8 We will put the Dolphins, if not the season, this game, in the garbage bin within the next 10 minutes. But these are some extreme opinions here that Billy and Zaz are having after week one.

Speaker 8 And I believe they speak for the fan base. Your son is in.
I see him nodding vigorously on this season is over. This team is done.
There's no reason to put any hope in this particular basket.

Speaker 8 And also, injuries yesterday along the offensive line and at corner, the two positions, like they couldn't stop anything with those guys on the field.

Speaker 8 So like a real apocalypse yesterday could not have gone worse.

Speaker 15 Their only NFL corner gets hurt.

Speaker 24 Their new offense offensive lineman gets hurt.

Speaker 35 Waddle turns into a piece of glass again.

Speaker 16 Every time he gets tackled, he's hurt.

Speaker 31 It's ridiculous.

Speaker 8 And Johnu Smith, the ball's bouncing off him, and the Steelers are winning the way they do. And Jalen Ramsey, at the end of that game, finishes the Jets.

Speaker 21 And who forced the fumble on Tua? Xavier Howard.

Speaker 8 Like,

Speaker 21 everything went wrong for them yesterday.

Speaker 33 Steelers are done, by the way.

Speaker 4 What? Yeah, Steelers are done.

Speaker 21 Who had a better weekend, FIU or Steelers?

Speaker 8 Hold on a minute.

Speaker 8 Let's put a bookmark in that one, Billy. I want to get all the dolphin stuff out of here.
I want no more, nothing but dolphins.

Speaker 8 Purge yourselves. I want to be done with this.
I do not want to talk about this team all season. Like, that was an apocalypse.
It's the worst thing that can happen.

Speaker 8 Zaszlo's here and he says, two is done, McDaniel's done. And you can argue if you want, but it's like, yeah,

Speaker 8 the game yesterday does not provide any kind of rebuttal to what it is that Zaz is saying. Hey, coach, this thing,

Speaker 8 unrebuttable.

Speaker 8 This thing collapsed on McDaniel yesterday. They're two-point favorite next weekend against the Patriots.

Speaker 23 Welcome to the NFL. You look like shit one week.
You win the next week, and all your fans are going, all right, okay.

Speaker 14 Yeah, then you got bills on the bottom.

Speaker 23 We had a bad first game. Now we're back.
Okay, calm down. You know, I'm just saying, I'm predicting that's what's going to happen.

Speaker 8 But, Greg, that's the reaction if they lose 26-24. Not like that.

Speaker 21 None of the fans are going to have that reaction you just portrayed if they win next week against them again.

Speaker 14 None of them. Okay.

Speaker 8 Greg, I disagree. Greg, there's no dispute on what I'm saying.
Like, you can say one game at a time. You can say the NFL is unpredictable to week to week.

Speaker 8 If what we're looking for is what will the Dolphins look like next week, what they just looked like is as bad as it could have looked.

Speaker 8 There's nothing. I don't know how you have it being worse.
The first half is something that hasn't happened to them offensively in 30 years.

Speaker 23 And when you say, I don't know

Speaker 31 how you have it worse, I don't have it worse.

Speaker 23 Quit trying to say that I'm apologizing for that performance. It was so putrid that the the 30-8 score flattered the Dolphins.

Speaker 27 There's nothing that could have happened yet.

Speaker 23 The performance was worse than that score.

Speaker 35 So nothing could have happened yesterday to push you.

Speaker 8 Tua gets injured. Tua also gets injured.
Okay, what?

Speaker 23 I'm not optimistic about the Dolphins. You just said they're going to win on Sunday and everything's going to be fine.

Speaker 23 I said I'm not the least bit surprised that they're a two-point favorite because that's the way the NFL works.

Speaker 8 The line went down since I said it. One and a half.

Speaker 23 Okay, there you go. And New England might be favored by next Sunday.

Speaker 17 A lot of action on the Patriots.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but that one and a a half you told us last week really means that the Patriots are one and a half point favored because you get three points when you're at home.

Speaker 4 So the Patriots are technically favored.

Speaker 14 Well, we'll see at kickoff.

Speaker 27 Maybe the Colts are just the new Chiefs.

Speaker 36 It's possible.

Speaker 14 Have we thought about that? Time will

Speaker 23 Daniel Jones, the new Mahomes.

Speaker 33 Daniel Mahomes.

Speaker 19 That would make me feel better. If they turn out to be like a 15-2 team, I'm be like, oh, okay.

Speaker 8 No, no,

Speaker 8 there's no feel better on they have the ball seven times, they score seven times, and Peyton Manning didn't do that in that uniform.

Speaker 8 I don't know.

Speaker 8 We knew defense was going to be a problem, and then you're saying to yourself before the game, if we want to do analysis, hey, their front seven might cover up the corners they don't have.

Speaker 8 They've got the worst corners in the league. Oh, my God, there's no pressure.
Oh, my God. Oh, Daniel Jones is just going to do whatever he wants all game.

Speaker 8 And they're not going to be able to stop them in any way, in a way that has not been seen in Dolphin football in my lifetime covering them.

Speaker 8 And statistically, when you go through the numbers, there haven't been a lot of football games where any offense has ever looked as good as Daniel Jones's did yesterday because, not because Daniel Jones is so good in his first game with the Colts, because the Dolphins looked that bad.

Speaker 8 It could not have been worse, I'm telling you, unless Tua had gotten a concussion.

Speaker 21 I just don't know how you come back from Greg. One of the biggest problems with the team last year was it felt like the rest of the league had kind of caught up to McDaniel and the offense.

Speaker 21 And we'd like to do the whole, he's not making adjustments, this, that. All right, week-to-week basis, I guess.

Speaker 21 But at least this, here before this season, you have an entire offseason to do something different.

Speaker 14 Okay, so I wrote.

Speaker 21 And it felt like it felt the same as last year where the offense is totally inept again.

Speaker 21 And that wasn't. Now, look, maybe Colt's defense will be good this year.
They were terrible last year.

Speaker 23 Wait a minute. Timeout.
They were 8-9 last year. But their defense was terrible.

Speaker 23 That's not terrible.

Speaker 30 But their defense defense was terrible.

Speaker 23 Don't talk like they were 3-14. They were 8-9.
They missed the playoffs by one game.

Speaker 21 I think their defense is ranked 29th last year, though. Again, maybe their defense will be good this year.
That was a terrible defense last year.

Speaker 23 Okay, it was a very bad defense last year.

Speaker 21 And that's why I'm totally out on Mike McDaniel at this point. You can't have the offseason with all the chatter, and then this is what we get right out the gates.
Like, I don't have any faith.

Speaker 21 I don't have any faith in him being able to solve the problem.

Speaker 16 Let's bring in another specialist, I think.

Speaker 23 The blame starts with Chris Greer,

Speaker 23 who knew four months ago that he had an awful cornerback situation and didn't do anything to fix it other than signing the ghosts of Rasul Douglas just before opening day. That's a big problem.

Speaker 23 The offensive line has been a problem for years. Everybody knows Tyreek Hill is getting slower and probably will be traded by midseason.

Speaker 23 There were problems that they failed to address that don't come right to Mike McDaniel's lap.

Speaker 8 What do you do with all of this? Tua finished with a QBR of 2.7 out of 100, okay? McDaniel entered the season as the betting favorite to be the first coach fired, and now that rises.

Speaker 8 We're in agreement on that, yes?

Speaker 8 And right before the game, Tim Reynolds, four minutes before kickoff, my official Dolphins prediction, 11-6 wild card.

Speaker 8 Admittedly, I'm not the brightest dude sometimes, but I think they're better than most people expect. At this point, okay,

Speaker 8 and I watched the Saints play yesterday. At this point, there is no team in football.
I watched the Carolina Panthers play yesterday. I saw the New York Giants play yesterday.
There is no team.

Speaker 8 I saw the Titans of Cam Ward play yesterday. There is no team in professional football that had a more apocalyptic beginning than the Miami Dolphins yesterday.
Correct.

Speaker 8 They looked like a minor league team trying to play professional football when you paired it against what was happening in the rest of the league. All of the close games everywhere.

Speaker 8 Everyone is a bounce away, except in this one place where you're just seeing every single time it's Colts marching down the field and Dolphins being more inept than they've been

Speaker 8 since 1991.

Speaker 23 11 of the 15 games were one-scored decisions. The Dolphins unequivocally played the worst of any team on opening day.

Speaker 4 They didn't lose a preseason game.

Speaker 23 Right. And the perfect season Dolphins had a losing record.

Speaker 36 Exactly so.

Speaker 23 But the question going forward is, are we burying the entire season based on a terrible...

Speaker 8 You said it was a must-win. So what has to happen?

Speaker 23 I said it was a must-win, not for the season, for the confidence and faith of the fans.

Speaker 23 It was a faith-quaking performance. If you're a Dolphin fan right now, you guys are the majority in saying, trade him, fire him.
You guys are the majority.

Speaker 4 Did you see the rumors of who's going to replace McDaniel?

Speaker 23 I'm trying to be the VOR here.

Speaker 36 Cruden.

Speaker 8 Oh, God. Let's do a top five quarterbacks that Chris Cody, your son, is ready to replace Tua with right now if he could get the option of replacing him right now.

Speaker 16 First, I got OLI. These are ones that I feel like are obvious.

Speaker 21 Are these guys who are like available?

Speaker 35 No, I mean, these are just quarterbacks in the league that I just right now giving to be over to.

Speaker 14 I like it.

Speaker 27 I don't know. These first ones, OLI, are obvious.

Speaker 19 Like, I don't think I'll have any pushback here.

Speaker 35 Drake May, Michael Penix Jr., Cam Ward, and Bonix.

Speaker 8 Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 20 Drake May,

Speaker 42 Michael Pennix Jr., Cam Ward, and Bonix. Those are OLI.
Like, those are just easy. I would do that right now.

Speaker 4 Cam War was getting hit yesterday, man.

Speaker 35 Number five, JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 42 Haven't seen him yet. I'll roll the dice.

Speaker 4 He's literally never played a game.

Speaker 14 Number four, Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 42 I'll take one year with Aaron Rodgers, and then I'll take Nussmeier next year.

Speaker 22 I don't give a shit.

Speaker 25 Number three, Justin Fields.

Speaker 21 I said he should have been the backup a year ago.

Speaker 4 He looks better than Tua did.

Speaker 29 Number two, Joe Flacco.

Speaker 19 Same thing as Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 14 I'll take one year with Joe Flacco. Give me Nussmeier.
Like, I'm done with it. Oh, no.

Speaker 27 Joe Flacco is better out of the pocket than Tua is.

Speaker 14 I'm telling you.

Speaker 25 And number one, Arch Manning.

Speaker 4 I'll roll the dice. I don't give a shit.

Speaker 14 I'm done with Tua.

Speaker 33 He can't play quarterback right now. He will next year.
I'll talk about it. What about Tannehill? You didn't mention him.
He's out there.

Speaker 35 I would sign up for Arch Manning right now ahead of Tua.

Speaker 28 Tannehill.

Speaker 14 Bull take out of you.

Speaker 21 Did you know Tannehill was a wide receiver in college? Tannehill.

Speaker 25 Tannehill's out available.

Speaker 33 He has toes for thumb.
