00:00Super Bowl is set, everybody gather round, Eagles, Chiefs.

00:06No surprises, right?

00:07Nah, not really.

00:08Not really.

00:09I'm a little surprised.

00:10I expected Detroit.

00:11I'm surprised, Philly.

00:12You guys all picked Detroit.

00:13Yeah.

00:14You picked Detroit.

00:15Because you guys all picked Detroit.

00:16I just wanted to be different.

00:17Yeah, I gotcha.

00:18Good call.

00:19Look, I think there's a better roster.

00:20Yeah.

00:21I'm not picking against the Chiefs.

00:22I'm not picking against the Chiefs.

00:23Nah, you can't.

00:24You literally can't.

00:25But you know what, though?

00:26We always say the Chiefs have that championship pedigree over teams.

00:29Mm-hmm.

00:30If there's any other team who's been at, you know, the Super Bowl a couple times recently,

00:33it'd probably be Philly.

00:34You know?

00:35Pedigree of losing.

00:36Okay.

00:37Well.

00:38By the way, I think Mack Hollins being a championship hero, I think that would have done me in.

00:45I think I would have been like, you know what?

00:47He already annoyed me walking into the building dressed like Animal from, you know, the, the

00:53I think everybody loves it.

00:54I find it annoying.

00:55I'm just like, oh, and this guy was going to go be a Super Bowl hero or a conference

00:56championship hero.

00:57Just, just bury the dolphins right now.

00:58Felt the same way.

00:59And then I saw Jordan Phillips get a sack.

01:00Yeah.

01:01I'm like, okay, great.

01:02Yeah.

01:03Perfect.

01:04Great.

01:05Yeah.

01:06Thank God we got Jordan Boyer from you guys.

01:07Yeah.

01:08Yeah.

01:09Yeah.

01:10Yeah.

01:11Yeah.

01:12Yeah.

01:13Yeah.

01:14Yeah.

01:15Yeah.

01:16Yeah.

01:17Yeah.

01:18Yeah.

01:19Yeah.

01:20Thank God we got Jordan Boyer from you guys.

01:22You think like you think Tyree kills sitting in his undies, like rooting for the cheese?

01:26Yeah, guys.

01:27And they don't miss him at all.

01:29Nope.

01:30Like, isn't there ever been a star ever less missed than Tyree kill by the Chiefs?

01:34Yeah, he does that one wrong.

01:36I mean, look, he got his money.

01:38Yeah, but I do think it's funny where he's like, Yeah, I'm such a competitor unit.

01:42It's like, well, they look like they're competing just fine without you.

01:46I think a lot of times there's certain words

01:51we associate with guys who are winning

01:56and guys who are losing.

01:59That's one of those words.

02:01Like, oh, he's a competitor

02:04because he's successful at his job?

02:06Not necessarily, because a competitor to me

02:10fights till the doors fall off, till the clock runs out.

02:14Regardless of the situation.

02:17And you see those guys.

02:19You know what those guys look like when you watch a game.

02:21That guy ain't quitting a lick, right?

02:25Then there's guys who have success,

02:28but when it gets a little difficult,

02:31competitive juices seem to fall.

02:35Now, I will say this.

02:38Any running back that plays for a long period of time

02:44has to be competitive.

02:46For the simple fact that there's a high chance

02:50the first couple of quarters of the game,

02:52you're going to get your ass kicked.

02:54And we're going to see what kind of competitor you are

02:56if you're going to stick with it,

02:58if you're going to keep fighting

02:59and keep playing hard throughout that game.

03:04But you cannot associate somebody with competitive

03:10that quits during the game.

03:13End of discussion.

03:14Would you like to hear his explanation about his comments?

03:18I know what his explanation was.

03:19It was right after the game.

03:20I told you this when he did it.

03:21It's a bit unfair to be pissed off, upset, or whatever,

03:27and him not really wanting to talk,

03:29probably going to say something he regrets.

03:31Like, yeah, I get it.

03:35Here was Tyreek Hill on his Twitch stream

03:38explaining his end of year comment.

03:40We don't even talk to people anymore.

03:43What y'all heard at the end of the season

03:45is frustration, bro.

03:46Like, bro, I've been winning my whole life, bro.

03:53That's it?

03:54I don't understand, bro.

03:56Like, I bust my ass every day.

03:59So I deserve to feel like that.

04:00I deserve to have some kind of opinion.

04:03Y'all just want me to say, oh, well, get them next year.

04:05Nah, fuck that.

04:07We gotta come back.

04:08Like, shit, we gotta put some pressure on me.

04:11Like, hey, bro.

04:11Like, y'all gotta fix this shit, bro.

04:13Like, I'm on.

04:14Ass and dogs in this bitch.

04:19I compete.

04:20Like, I love to compete, bro.

04:22He's playing Fortnite while he's,

04:24like, are you kidding me, dude?

04:26So, so.

04:27If you want, like, the perfect synopsis of the Dolphins,

04:30be like, let's reflect on the season,

04:32but while playing video games.

04:33While playing video games.

04:35Here's, a lot of what he said is true.

04:39Like, like, to,

04:44to expect somebody to give, you know,

04:49the answer you want at their lowest point

04:53is asking a lot, right?

04:55And I told you, at the time, I don't care what he said.

05:01I don't care about that,

05:03because the moment and the time in which he said it,

05:08you could tell there was frustration

05:10and it just kept building, right?

05:13My problem is, you can't call yourself a competitor

05:17and say, I'm not going back into the game.

05:20You never, I want him to answer that.

05:22Here's what I would say, though.

05:24I would say on that, and I get what you're saying.

05:26I don't know what it's like to be in that position.

05:28We talked about this a little bit

05:29with the Mark Andrews thing, right?

05:31Where he got a little bit of heat because he didn't speak.

05:33But I would say, your emotions may be overrunning

05:38and you may be angry,

05:41but they're probably a little bit less

05:42if you haven't been playing for a whole quarter.

05:45Like, all you've been doing

05:46is sitting on that sideline thinking.

05:49I mean, yeah, but I mean, keep in mind,

05:54can we start, but here's a guy who didn't want to talk.

05:57Right?

05:59And it's very easy, and I try to avoid this,

06:05is very easy to take the human element

06:10out of situations like this

06:14when it all becomes self-serving, right?

06:19For the media to say he's required to talk,

06:23that seems very self-serving, right?

06:25And I get it, that's your job or whatever.

06:30I can tell you that it's really hard

06:36to get your bearing straight

06:39when you've been disappointed like that.

06:42It really is, and I can't,

06:45and I'm trying to take myself out of it

06:47because I was okay, I knew how to answer questions

06:51than when to just stop talking or whatever.

06:53I knew that.

06:56But here's, but I can't necessarily say

07:00everybody is required to handle a situation like me.

07:04We are sitting here talking about another human being

07:07and saying how they should have handled it.

07:09And that is the part that's weird

07:12because we're all different.

07:14I think the one thing that I would say,

07:15it's not that Tyreek Hill

07:16isn't tremendously talented, right?

07:18He obviously has talent, he's worked his way up,

07:21and everybody thought he was just gonna be

07:23a return specialist into one of the best receivers

07:25in the league.

07:25So, and he played through injury this year,

07:27I'm not questioning his toughness.

07:28However, all we wanted you to do

07:31was just finish the season.

07:33Like, that's all we wanted.

07:34And then like to hear afterwards,

07:36it's like, you're still saying,

07:37well, I have a right to feel that way.

07:40It's like, you kind of, you kind of like,

07:43don't you wave your right a little bit

07:45when you don't get over the finish line?

07:48You're right.

07:49And here's what I would say.

07:51He has a right to be pissed off, upset,

07:56disappointed, and emotional.

07:59He has all those things, all those rights.

08:01And I told you at the time,

08:03I don't make nothing of it

08:05because of all the things I just explained.

08:09However, the only problem I have,

08:13you don't call yourself a competitor and quit.

08:18End of story.

08:20That's not competing.

08:22You usually have stars come on the field and say,

08:25I'm gonna compete till the doors fall off.

08:28I don't care if we win it or lose it,

08:29I'm still gonna compete.

08:31That's what you hear.

08:33When you say all the things you just said,

08:38I can agree with everything Tariq said.

08:40I can agree with the frustration,

08:41him having a right or whatever.

08:43Okay?

08:44Why has he not even mentioned with all that stuff

08:49to get you to understand where he was coming from?

08:51Why did he not even talk about the fact

08:54that he refused to go back in the game?

08:56I don't know.

08:57Okay.

08:58You know why?

08:59He's gonna chat, he's gonna answer what he wants to say.

09:00You know why?

09:01Because that would defeat the purpose of his comments.

09:04Yeah.

09:05I'm a competitor.

09:06I'm a competitor.

09:07I'm this, I'm that.

09:08Not when you quit.

09:08We need to get some mother bleeping dogs in here.

09:11We go to fights all the time.

09:12We've seen fights.

09:15We can see when a guy quit.

09:17Oh yeah.

09:18He ain't after the fight saying I'm a competitor.

09:20He ain't saying that.

09:21No, buddy.

09:22We just saw you give up.

09:23We saw you quit.

09:24We saw you tap out.

09:27Tap machine.

09:28Right.

09:29So like, yeah.

09:31All of the stuff that Tariq just said was accurate.

09:37But if you include the whole story,

09:41then you can start having questions.

09:44I don't have a problem with the things he's,

09:46man, people say some dumb stuff when they mad and upset.

09:50Right?

09:51I'll give him that.

09:53And I said that when he said them.

09:54Don't make nothing of it, man.

09:56You could tell how I was building,

09:58how the frustration of just having to stand

10:00in front of all those people,

10:01and he just said something stupid.

10:03That's fine.

10:05Okay?

10:06But he never said anything about the fact

10:10that all those guys on the field

10:13were riding until the doors fell off,

10:16and you decided to not to.

10:19And once you decided not to,

10:22the competitive part of it is out the door for me.

10:27Agreed.

10:28Agreed.

10:29And I wonder too, like, I just,

10:32I know that the guy is awesome,

10:34but I do wonder at this point for the Dolphins and for him,

10:38like, it's almost, do you get ahead of this?

10:42Because it feels like if there's another bad situation,

10:44he's going to be rats off a ship even quicker.

10:47Right.

10:48And that's the thing that I wonder.

10:49If I'm the Dolphins, I'm like,

10:51we all know that he's awesome,

10:53but he's also shown that-

10:54You want a guy who's a dog.

10:56He's not a foxhole guy.

10:58He's not.

10:59And also, by the way,

11:00plenty of drops in big games.

11:02You know what we call that?

11:03You know what we call that?

11:06We call that,

11:07that is the definition of a proverbial front runner.

11:12Yeah.

11:13When things are good, you good.

11:17When things are bad and you struggling,

11:23you ain't fighting.

11:24And we expect you to be the reason why it gets turned around.
