Episode Date: January 20, 2026

"Missed connection: you were the guy in all white who locked eyes with me. I was Carson Beck with 44 seconds to go." Brad Williams and his terrible microphone are here to discuss his Denver Broncos and his undying belief in 'Stiddhy.' Then, after deciding if last night was the most deflating feeling in Miami sports history, Amin is here to deliver his Weekend Observations after being moved from yesterday.

This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast. Back, sets up. It's all you want.

Carlson, going deep. Here we... 13 games this year. You, the you still bad. Got to a playoffs for the first time in Miami history. The you, the youth, you still back. Won the cot bowl. The you.

Won the Fiesta Bowl. They're the best thing that's happened to Miami in over two decades. Mike, you should know. that I would have won back in just a few minutes all of those UM fans because the rant was written. The rant was going to make its return and it was written and it was going to slay

and now it is dead never to be seen because an interception got thrown at the end. Brad Williams is going to be here in a second and I wanted to wonder with Greg Cody because I think I can say this since football became popular, I don't believe there has ever been a Miami Dolphin Head coaching hire with less fanfare than what it is that I saw yesterday because of the timing of it.

You're talking about the biggest football game in 20, 25 years played in Miami, and the dolphins are announcing their head coach then. I don't think that it matters, but it is weird that you usually want the hope of, and now we got the new answer, and it just was buried yesterday. Yeah, it wasn't voluntary. The dolphins didn't want it that way. I was speaking with a dolphin official in the press box last night. And what happened was, first of all, they had to fulfill the Rooney Rule.

They had to interview two minority candidates. Had they done that? They hadn't done it until the last one was at like 4 p.m. yesterday. Okay, so they were late doing that. And before they did that, they couldn't hire anyone else. The Hathley News came out like right after that, I think. Right. Yes, exactly.

And what else happened was, Somebody, I'm told, somebody who didn't get the job leaked the news that it seemed like Halfley was going to get the job. Okay, so when it was then leaked to the media, then all the, you know, Schaefter and all these reports come out. And then the dolphins, they have no choice but to confirm it at 812 p.m. Like in the middle of the first quarter, they're confirming. So it was a weird circumstance that forced their hand left. Oh, I didn't even. I didn't even see that the Dolphoid.

actually confirmed it, which would make sense because, you know, I was watching the football game. Yeah, so were most people. It did not work out the way they wanted. Believe me, they would have liked to have announced it and introduced him later in the week, for sure. It kind of came off like a fart, right? Because my wife got the alert on ESPN, and she's like, Dolphins hire Jeff Halvlesi. I'm like, I'm like, she's like, is that a coach?

I'm like, yeah, he's a Green Bay Packers, defensive court. She's like, okay, I lost interest. But like, everybody's asking me, like, who is this guy? And I'm like trying to, like, I'm trying to explain the nuance of, yeah, he's the first time head coach's the defensive corner. You know, the Packers' defense has been kind of good. They got Michael Pars. But it's like nobody really cares.

It's loco, Dan, like you and Diana were talking about a little while ago, that the thing that seems to carry the day is who's good at PR, who's good in an interview. Belichick is not that. And more recently, Liam Cohen was a laughingstock in his. introductory press conference. And so was Nick Siriani a couple of years ago. So yeah, it's, it's loco that that would be the case. But you made the most important part of what I thought was a striking point yesterday, which is if they're going after a defensive coordinator in Miami, there's a more obvious name. I mean, Chris Schuller, to me, you hire that. You immediately create

something that would have made a noise even during the championship game. It would have been a more popular hire. I'm not sure it would have been a better hire because we can't know how good Halfley's going to be. We can't know, but all things being equal, as I think they are with young defensive coordinator, whiz kids, like in terms of us not knowing how to do the analysis on the Mike McDonald's of the world before they get hired, where I only hear Mina Kimes and no one else celebrating that. Like, as far as those things go, you absolutely win the offseason if you do the popular thing of going with the defensive coordinator who has a name that people have heard of. Yeah, I also think it's fair to note Chris Shula has had fewer head coach interviews than Halfley.

I mean, there's a reason for that. Halfley's a little bit older, I believe, a little bit more experienced at what he's doing. And there's a reason the Dolphins liked him. My only hesitation with this hire is that I don't trust the dolphins. It's that nobody can know whether Halfley's going to be good or not, but you have almost 20 years of track record that the dolphins aren't very good at hiring a head coach. I got to meet him at ACC Media Days a few years ago. Nice.

Here's my take. Certified, sweetie pie. Super nice guy. Not very tall. Ooh, I don't like that. Short King. No, I need a lot of solid walking. I need a guy who about six, five and a half.

You can't tell on Zoom. Although Joe Philbin was tall. Yeah, that's true. Cam Cameron was as well. Yeah, he was. Sorry, Brad. Put it on the poll at Lebertart show is halfway. certified cutie pie.

Sweetie pie. Where did you get? Transition. Sorry, sweetie pie. Speaking of short, last time Brad Williams was on with us, what? You were mad last time. You were upset last time you were on

with us. Well, yeah, because you said, keep it short. Now I'm about to come on with you again, to finally talk about a meaningful NFL team, you know, an NFL team that plays football in January and into February. And then you guys are like, ah, yeah, short guys.

Don't trust them. Hate short guys. They can't coach. They can't be a leader of men. What do you know, Tony? You threw invisible footballs. That's your bona fides right there. If I would have thrown real ones, I would have made the team, buddy.

I'm sorry. Is there not a pro athlete that you could tell that you could be better than in studio right now? No. Is there no one that you can back down? Holy God. I can't win on this show. It's just I try to come on. I try to bring a little flavor.

and then you guys just, oh, you guys with the short bit, if that joke was any deader, it'd be related to Dan. Brad, you have a new podcast, Jesus Christ. That's not the podcast. You're going to want to have to select the right microphone for when you're recording. All right, this is, take it from an industry vet. All right, don't be short with him. Again, what?

Is it not picking up? It's got a green light on it. it's working you just sound tinny you sound tiny you sound like you're in a submarine where you know check out height and babble new podcast Brad started

I thought it was Jesus Christ I thought the name of the podcast was Jesus Christ from the way Mike Ryan described it Jesus Christ I think you should have Mark Norman on the show to have him talk about sports

I think that would be better than Tony down the Miami game you are Our Broncos correspondent, you've finally been elevated. Congratulations on that. Stidham hasn't started a game in 750 days and has started all of four games his entire life. How do you feel about the good news, bad news of you beat the bills, but now you've got a problem that you're not going to win the Super Bowl. There's no circumstance under which you're going to win the Super Bowl.

So when the Broncos beat the bills, I immediately had to go on stage in Greeley, Colorado. And the news had not broken yet, literally, about Bo Nix's ankle. So I walk on stage in Greeley, Colorado, 1,800 people. Everyone's going crazy. Everyone's happy. And then when I got off stage, I literally had my tour manager and my opening act on the side of the stage going, you should look at your phone. And I thought someone died. I literally thought, like, oh, God, what happened?

My wife? What happened? My mother? What happened my kid? And then I get off. And it's much worse than that. So explain to us the level of crestfallen. My guess is you've probably not had something that felt exactly like that,

where you've won the game against Josh Allen in dramatic and spectacular fashion, and then that is the worst news you can get, correct? There's no worse news than that. That is the worst news. The only other way it could have been worse is if they said, like, well, we've gone back, and since Bo Nix broke his ankle, now we're going to make the bills win so they can move on so there can be a team

with a good quarterback. But I have hope in Stiddy. I have hope in Jared Stidham. He's been in that year. He's been in the system for three years. He's the highest paid backup quarterback in the league. There's a reason why Sean Payton likes him. He is not faux Nix. Let's be honest. He is not

faux Nix. But I believe he is a comparable backup. And this is very similar to the 2015 Denver Broncos that won the Super Bowl because Peyton Manning had the planner fasciitis, and we had to win some games with Brock Osweiler that year to actually move on and get to the playoffs. So eerily similar, deep defensive-centered team,

not focused so much on the quarterback. So it's not great news, but I have some hope. Put it on the poll, please. Do you believe in Stitty? Because I really am having a hard time finding a comp for what happened with Sean Payton, where he's coming at the press conference. His players have left.

He doesn't want them to learn from someone other than him that Bo Nix is out, so he feels the need to have the press conference that wrecks Brad Williams' night as soon as he gets off stage. Can we have Tim Tebow, like, do a little Mr. Miyagi over Bo Nix's ankle? Just something. Give me a couple of throws. I don't know. It was truly heartbreaking, and I don't have a comp for it either, Dan. And I don't know anyone that's gone that high to that low that quickly.

I remember Magic Johnson one time they made it to the finals. And he had torn his hamstring. And so he couldn't play in the finals and then they got swept. But Bo Nix isn't that, obviously. But if you're enthused about the Broncos, your chances of winning the Super Bowl are now over. Like you can have your hope about this weekend in a home game. You're not beating the NFC team with this is your quarterback. Well, at minimum, Brad, I think that Jared Stitt, I'm sorry for the pessimism.

If you were to win this game, I do think Jared Stidham stands as the worst starting quarterback in the Super Bowl era. And I'm sincerely, David Woodley, the late David Woodley from LSU and Super Bowl 17, Trent Dilfer is off. He's often volunteered. He's the wrong answer. Rex Grossman deserved. Caleb Haney, the comp would be Caleb Haney would have had to start that Super Bowl, Super Bowl 45 against Pittsburgh 15 or so years ago, because Jay Cutler tore his knee, and it would have been, had B.J. Raji, not pick-sixth,

um, Caleb Haney towards the end of that game, it would have been Rathusberger and Company versus Caleb Haney. Yikes. I feel deprived as a football fan, too. Drake versus Bo would have been great. Rambling. That was good info, though. I agree.

Wow. He said Super Bowl 17. That's not bad call. Not bad call. Caleb Haney. The people are fighting back. They want me to stay. Dave should stay.

Stave should. You can be hopeful, but my guess is you're faking it. I mean, we've seen this before with Jeff Hostetler. He won a Super Bowl with the Giants. We've seen it with Nick Foles, beating the Patriots. Nick Folls had a great tweet, by the way, about how the Patriots notoriously come up short against backup quarterbacks.

So I love that by Nick Foles. So we've seen it before. It wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world. But yeah, hope is not. Wait a minute. You're good with Foles saying come up short, but I say it and you get mad at me. Boy, he's not talking to me. I'm not standing next to Nick Foles and he's holding me up like a prop.

He's not doing that, Dan Levitard. You have me on your show presumably for my great football analysis, not for my microphone, but for my great football analysis. and then you immediately go to short jokes. It's ridiculous. And we've broken bread together, Dan Levitar. You've come out, you've come out to Los Angeles. I met your wife.

Your wife is impossibly more attractive than you. I don't understand that. I don't understand how you guys have gotten $250 million deals from Draft Kings and she can't afford LASIC surgery. I don't get this. But at the same time, he does it. he does not have me right next to him telling me the short joke. You have me and you go right to the short joke.

Lame comedy. Hey, Brad, does your Beanie have a horse's mane on the back? Yes, and it's fabulous. It is fabulous. I kept seeing orange hair in the back. I was like, I know he doesn't have orange hair. What's going on back there? This is my announcement that I am part of the brony community.

I'm now joining the bronies. You knew he didn't have orange hair, Tony? You knew that? I knew you didn't have Orange, everybody. For Brad Williams tour dates, go to Brad Williamscom. Zaz, my dad and myself saw his show a couple weeks ago. Great show. He's also got a new podcast, heightened babble.

Check it out. Good seeing you, Brad. Thank you for making the time. Always appreciate you enjoying insulting us and being insulted by us. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Go, Bronx. We did shut him down because everybody wants Brancas now to go away.

Oh, it would be a nightmare if they want. Nobody wants that in the Super Bowl anymore. What do you want the Broncos to go away? You want the Patriots? You want the Patriots? Honestly, yes. Yeah, yeah. I want a quarterback that's not Stidham. You want Bill Simmons to just be talking about how this is the greatest Boston team of all times.

That's fair. He makes good points. That's fair. Yeah, but Stidham, guys. Let's unload the plight. All right. He's Brady Jr. I'm telling you, everybody. Listen up, Cousin's what's going on.

Listen, I just want to say, that was my... We got it, we got it, we got it, we got it, we got it, we got it, we got it. I just wanted to quickly say that I think, and I don't bring this up because Brad Williams is on, I just think that was small of you, Dan, to send me off like that after what happened last night, I understand you're bitter, but, but small. My guy, what is this? Is Lucy going to get me next? Lucy, do you have any short jokes?

No, the energy is. in here is really negative right now and I just need there's a lot going on uh see you later Brad it's always nice seeing you thank you for making the time sir guys let me tell you something one of the greatest joys of my life was when they finally opened the white castle in my neighborhood in Phoenix Arizona I lost my mind because I'm so used to eating White Castle at home

when I was in New York now I can have it all the time I'm Phoenix but when I come to Miami there's no white castle so you know what I do go to the freezer aisle because right there they got a variety pack with all the great white castle flavor in there. You're getting a lot of slider styles. You're getting classic American cheese. You get jalapeno cheese. And if you're a bacon lover, you're getting that new cheddar bacon cheese sliders.

The classic cheese gives you all the taste of a great American burger. While jalapeno cheese sliders give a serving of spicy to each bite. And the new cheddar bacon cheese? That literally brings home to bacon, folks, with real pieces of bacon in cheddar-flavored cheese. Guys, I know what you're thinking. Your mouth is watering. My mouth is watering. Just reading this.

That's completely normal. You can find each of these sliders where? In the grocery store. In the freezer aisle. Bonus. They're all in the same box. You don't even have to go to get four boxes. No, it's one variety box.

It's got them all in it. Perfect for game day. Late nights. Or any time you just want something awesomely, uniony, satisfying, steamy, and unapologetically cheesy. White Castle. Cray for thy castle. Happy New Year, everybody.

2026 is already getting off to an incredible start because you want to know how I rang in the new year? It was with a bunch of friends in a Dallas Hotel Lobby Bar ordering a bunch of Miller Lights because that's how you do it. That's how you make special memories. Miller Light has been by my side and many special football memories this year

and hopefully we get to write a few more memories with Miller Light. Some of my most legendary moments have started that exact same way. A buddy's house, a lobby bar. a game, no big plan. And then you crack open a Miller Lite. You take a sip and you look around and you immediately recognize that you made the right call. Legendary moments start with Miller Light.

I have not heard enough from you today as the legendary sports columnist of the Miami Herald after. I'm trying to think history of Miami sports, most debilitating losses, because the University of Miami now has two of these, and there's not going to ever be anything worse than you have the best roster of all time and you're losing to Ohio State. You think you've won, and there are fireworks in the sky, and then there's a penalty flag on the field. That happened a couple of times last night.

by the way, where there was a flag on the field all of a sudden to sort of neuter what had been enthusiasm. Your thoughts on historically where to put this in the history of South Florida where we wake up this morning and you could feel a city a bit hung over, a bit sad from wanting to believe, wanting to hope, daring to hope, and then coming up, forgive the expression, that short. I think it's probably one of the one or two most heartbreaking defeats. And part of the reason is that UM had waited so long. Miami won its five national titles in an 18-year frame. It's been 24 years since.

So that puts in perspective how long the weight has been. I think an analogy I would use is Damarino's one and only Super Bowl in 84, where they got their ass kicked by San Francisco. We didn't know at the time he'd never go back to another Super Bowl, but that was crushing because Marino was at the top of his game. He was going to be the guy who made the Super, made the Dolphins a Super Bowl champion for the first time since the early 70s under Shula, and it didn't happen.

And that was at the time very heartbreaking. Okay, so that's an interesting comp, right? Because I do believe it would have hurt less if Miami last night had lost by four touchdowns. It hurts less than that. because you're right there. And I know that the noise the next day would have been unpleasant. The game would have been less interesting. You wouldn't have been interested in the second half at all.

And that was an all-time second half. But there's something cruel about that, right? Losing when you're that close, when there are pieces happening at the end that keep giving you this hope and you're watching the last few seconds thinking that the highest paid quarterback in the sport, somebody with seven years of experience, is going to have his faculties about him.

isn't going to have his ears ringing from a hit he took, a late hit that he took, or an excessive hit that he took, and isn't right on the last throw of the game, according to himself, by his own words. Yeah, and if they lose a lopsided game, it's easier to rationalize the loss. It's easier to give Indiana credit. It's easier to say it wasn't our time. But the way they lost last night, that's going to haunt Mario forever, I guarantee you. Maybe not viscerally true. In fact, retroactively.

isn't the worst loss in Miami sports history, the loss in the Orange Bowl to the Patriots in front of Super Bowl 20? Marino and company in the Orange Bowl had just beaten those bears. So on the fast track in the Superdome, it stands that they would have had a great shot of taking them down. But it wasn't for the championship. It wasn't for everything with a minute left. Like I'm really having a hard time outside of the Ohio State Fiesta Bowl, which obviously, if you've got fire, That's a good one. Like that was in the...

Now, granted, first round. It's first round, but you had... It's your rival. You know the team's going to be broken up, that the ball bouncing on the rim. There's a certain cruelty to the heartbreak by being that close. And there were so many plays yesterday that the result is an inch, right? A back shoulder throw that's just in bounds. A couple of third and ones.

Malachi Tony, before the block punt, he got to fourth and one. He needed another yard to make that not a block punt. There were seven things. in that game last night. If they go a different way, we're having a different conversation today. And all the things worked out for Indiana, and that's been their forte all season, which is why they had one of the greatest seasons of all time. I would say, like, greatest. I've been doing this for 20 years. And the only other time that I felt like today, which was like, I don't want to go to work and talk to people and have them go at me was like

when the heat loss of the Mavericks. Jay J.J. Bray and dumb boys. Because we were so, like, It was us against the world. Yeah, it was, we were the heat show there. But they were never really in that game six. You never felt it that night, you know. I mean, DeWade had that shot go off the back iron there, and we blew game five. Like, they were shadow boxing. And just like, it was a shell-shocking experience, and it was super embarrassing.

This wasn't so embarrassing because Miami had a great season. It wasn't embarrassing at all. No, no, but it hurts. It still sings, yeah. I don't want to be here. It can sting, though. But I think I have it right when I say there's zero shame in it. You, you, I don't even know if today there is anywhere that I could tune in,

even into the most negative parts of Miami, and hear people that we need to blame in situations that feel helpless, that hurt. There's usually just a great need to blame. I don't think you can fairly blame much of anything that the hurricanes did last night. You're quibbling with hair splitting. Like, there's no shame. in losing to that team that way. I mean, we gave up a punt block for a touch on them when the opposing team was in safe coverage.

Okay. And they had a false start on second and one when they could have won the game by quarterback sneaking it, won the season. Yeah, but we lost by six, and that was seven. I think it would be cruel, literally cruel, to blame the hurricanes as the main emotion coming out of it. to blame Carson Beck even. I think they had a great season, and I think that should be prioritized. If I were a Keynes fan right now, I would feel really good. I would feel a trust in Mario Cristobal to work the portal again,

and I would feel like the U.S. back. You don't have to win everything to be back. If you get to the college football player for the first time, and you plow through three good teams to reach the championship game. Cristobal fixed it. He fixed it. It's the second worst loss in Kane's football history. It's not going to top the Fiesta Bowl in 2002.

It's the second worst Keynes loss in their football program's history. It's worse than anything. Any of the loss in the Orleans? George Teague? Well, that's the other one that I would throw up there. But yeah, I think this was worse. What about Vinnie versus Penn State? I would think that that would be one or two.

That one's a good one. See, that one's an excellent one. That one's excellent for all the same reasons except for in that game. Everyone knew Miami was better. Jimmy Johnson knew Miami was better. Jimmy Johnson still haunted by that game because he wouldn't stop throwing the football and it was his fault. That's why you're sick. But that's why you're sick about it.

When you're supposed to win and you don't, that to me seems like it would hurt much worse. That's a good one. Yeah. Like, it's worse than any Marlins loss. It's worse than any Panthers loss. I think it's worse than any Dolphins loss. I do. The heat have a couple that you throw in that range too.

So it's, it ranks pretty high among our sports history. So you say, let's go in the way back, way back, bin. Is it worse than the Dolphins losing to Kellyn Winslow's Seniors' chargers? Well, that divisional round? In the Orange Bowl, when they convert the hook and lateral, and like Kellan Winslow blocks a field goal, is it worse than, do you remember, we're going back a ways here? Is it worse than that?

I don't think it is because that's not a championship game. See, I put the stakes of last night in a whole different category. That's why a first round heat playoff loss that you alluded to earlier, I don't put it in that category. Last night was for everything. Last night was for history. And to be that close and denied, I think, is a whole different level than anything that precedes it. If it matters, Dan, the Dolphins lose in Cincinnati in the freezer bowl, same as the pretty boys from SoCal.

The Chargers did the following week against Ken Anderson and company. Was it the divisional round that the Dolphins lost that game? It was. It was in that crazy year, the strike year where you had the super playoffs or whatever they called them. Very strange. Yeah, that was the Woodley Super Bowl. That's right. A.J. Dewey.

I watched nothing but NBA basketball all night until halftime of Heat versus Warriors. Then I flipped on the Keynes game just in time to see the game ceiling drive.

Chris Cody. How close were we to the prophecy? Cain's down six. Marching down the field with less than a minute to go. I sat there saying, holy shit, it's going to happen. They're going to score to tie the game,

and Mario's going to go for two. Roy would have said that. So close. This is all Dan's fault. Broncos bills. A thriller. How about that Mims Jr. catch? You guys didn't even talk about that yesterday.

Now he knows what housewives and girlfriends all over the world feel when they roll over and get poked in the back. Mims. This is why I'm hot. Hey. Zaz looks like a line cook at a waffle house in the Redlands. That joke was from yesterday. Bandana. That's great.

Now I want AI to simulate a massive one-on-one tournament of historical figures. Can you imagine MLK crossing up the Trump? Oh, Abe Lincoln would be great in the Post. Oh, yeah, especially with that hat.

How about Obama hitting Fidel Castro with a stepback? Then he finds Bernie Sanders on the wing for the weather. Tony, would you play against MLK one-on-one? 5-7.

Who put a bell of danger on the screen in the middle of the fourth quarter comeback. No doubt a discerning gentleman who's a fan of great titles like Pure Taboo. Kink University. And anal destruction four. Anyone a fan of lesbian hospital affairs? That's a good one, too. Who is she? Yeah, who is she?

Zaz was asking this morning. Who is she? Greg? Cinephobe, Episode 296, Dead Man on Campus, starring Mark Paul Gossler, aka Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell. There she is. Who is that? Allison Hannigan, aka one-time in Band Camp from American Pie. And a young Jason Segal miscast is a jock with an anger problem.

Who's Pablo Pascal? Pedro, excuse me. Football America State of them thing through me. Is Monday and Friday. The super playoffs that you were speaking of before confused a whole lot of people here. I don't know what the super playoffs. There was a

strike in 82 and So they expanded the playoffs to eight teams a conference, which was, you know, wild stuff. And so just looking at the game, I'm sure you don't care about the match. So it's just what we have now, basically. They call it the Super Bowl tournament. I don't know why they attached that name to it, but they did. Does Greg Cody have any recollection of this as our local historian? We had a few instances on our recent episode where Dave was in,

and Dave just goes into like the old, like, you remember this Miami game? And my dad is just nodding along. And you can tell that he's not really following the specifics. Well, for you guys, noteworthy, is that the dolphins got the rematch against the Chargers after the Orange Bowl, you know, the battle the Bavarian kickers. Right. For much of the season, it was an eight-game season. The Dolphins' replacement quarterback was a guy named Kyle Mackie,

and somehow they wound up going to the Super Bowl after an eight-game regular season. Well, I'll tell you what I want. You know, I think he had five career interceptions. A.J. Dewey had three in the rainstorm off of Dick Todd's right arm. That's right. I think that was a 14-0. It's Richard Todd. Richard Todd.

No one called him Dick Todd. I just did. I did. Lewis, do me the favor, please, of just putting up before the end of the segment here, Rolf Benershka, because he just mentioned Uvei von Schaman against Rolf Benershka, and the best fact that I've got for you on Rolf Benershka, who later went on to host Wheel of Fortune. What? You beat me through it, Dan.
