"Arm punt?! How about get a first down?" Dan is begging someone for a reason other than "football" that the Dolphins blew out the Bills yesterday. Plus, a dive into Greg Cote's exercise routine, airport floor layers, and the home-and-home where both games are at your home, so it's not a home-and-home but is at home.

New York, New York, please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. I've been told that broken Greg Cody was supposed to be in today and just canceled at the last. minute citing knee pain. Knee is keeping him out today, but not tomorrow. He's already decided that his knee is going to be fine tomorrow. Put it on the poll, please, at Lebitard show. Have you ever missed a day of work because your knee hurt? Yes or no. What's happening back home, Chris, that you can tell me about your father and your mother's frustration with your father and his trick knee? I was over there for dinner last night. He was cooking. He was up and about limping. Got a limp to him. But, My mom was frustrated with him because he's not using his cane. He's been instructed to use the cane for a good week or so, and he hasn't even hit a week yet.

So he was up and about, and he cooked us a dinner, but he did say I only have one show in me this week. Old people can be strange about canes and walkers. Your dad is going to refuse the walker with tennis balls. Stubborn. On the bottom, he's going to be somebody. He thinks he's 30 years younger than he is. When he had the surgery and he was leaving the hospital, they were like, all right, crutches. and he couldn't do crutches.

I get maybe the arm, like shoulder strength. I don't know where you need the strength to really do crutches, but he had to do a walker because he couldn't figure out the crutches. So he had to, which is what I was like. I think that means you're old when you can no longer do crutches and you need the walker. If you had to guess, if you had to take a guess, when is the last time your father did exercise? Oh, well, he considers exercise the walking around his house.

He just does on a daily basis. like from the office to the garage. He's told his dog, I've said this before, he tells his doctor, are there, are you? How active are you? He's like, oh, I walk around my house. He's like, he literally used that as like, that's my exercise. So to answer your question, I would guess, since he put on clothes and was like, I'm going to exercise outside of maybe playing tennis with you, I bet it's been 25 years since he was like, I'm going to work out right now. It's kind of amazing that someone decided we're going to rig this walker with tennis balls and everybody's like, yeah,

that's perfect. No insurance company came up with like their own same exact thing, but it's like gray and it costs you $300. We're just like, yeah, no, the tennis balls, it's actually perfect for this. And the tennis balls are only so that you don't scratch up the floor in your home, correct? That's why they're there. Right. But like a medical company could have came up with something that's like a tennis ball, but they don't. It's just like we can't top the tennis ball. It is absolutely perfect for this. You have stunned Jeremy, who is staring at you with open-mouthed awe. This is one of the greatest in-show observations we've had in years.

This is great. I think you're over selling it. I really am blown away. Don't be modest, Mike. Do not have modesty here. Mike, not you. Mike. The tennis ball is better at that than it is at being a tennis ball.

That's right. Put it on the poll, please, Juju. No, I disagree. Is the tennis ball better at being something that doesn't scratch the floor on your walker than it is at being a tennis ball? Let me tell you something. Racket ball, fine. It's closer to being a replacement for the tennis ball than whatever the tennis ball is for the bottom of a walker.

It's just a really good observation. I don't know why you would choose that moment for humility. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugat's podcast. I will talk in this hour about the Miami Heat, the Miami Hurricanes, and the month-long first-round playoff series of Inter-Miamy. But I want to begin today and see if you can get me that video from the locker room where the Dolphins celebrated the winning of the Super Bowl. I believe that yesterday's Bill's result is among the most inexplicable in the sport this year.

I'm thinking off the top of my head, Cleveland beating Green Bay and Carolina beating Green Bay, because I think Carolina and Cleveland are bad football teams, and I think Green Bay to be a good one, to be the most surprising results I've seen this season. But I was not only flatly stunned by what the Dolphins did yesterday in a really weird week, okay? Because it's super unusual to fire your GM and keep the coach in season. It's not something that most people do.

It's easier to fire the coach and keep the GM in season. It's a weird move for the Dolphins to say, we're going to stick with Tua and McDaniel because we're kind of stuck with them, but Greer, you've got to go. But the Bill's losing that game. I have not seen anyone come up with anything that resembles an explanation for me. You can go weather, you can go letdown game, you can go, it's just football. But I haven't heard an actual good explanation for how the bills can look that way against the Chiefs.

And then Josh Allen can have the worst game I've seen him have since he was terrible. I didn't think that can happen to the Bill's offense. I actually understood what happened bills against Chiefs. Chiefs, their weakness, their greatest weakness, is run defense up the middle. That's the bill's greatest strength running the ball up the middle. But for the Dolphins to allow every running back in the league and every backup to go for 100 yards and then all of a sudden stop James Cook and turn those bills receivers into something that doesn't look very impressive. And then on offense to dominate the game and win for the first time against

the bills in more than 1,100 days was lunacy. don't have a good explanation. Do any of you, have any of you read or hurt? James Cook was banged up. He almost didn't play. So I think that that probably had something to do with how effective the Dolphins were at stopping the Bill's run game. Then you go and compare the way the beginning of the game started. And it was like, oh, we're going to lose 100 to nothing. Like, you've never seen a game start that way. The Dolphins were called for a false start and used a timeout for the first play. Before an official. play even happened

in the game. You've never seen anything like that. How did they overcome that and still win? And on that opening drive two of the interception. A punt. Well that's a punt. If you talk to McDaniel, it's a punt. He told him before the game on third down, throw it long. It's so stupid.

This whole arm punt thing is so stupid. It's an arm punt. How about getting a first down? Like, oh, arm punt. How about get a first down? Let's talk about this game. The funniest thing from the game, And I'm telling you the game was confusing. But the funniest thing from the game to me was McDermott, who somehow looks dumber wearing glasses. It's unbelievable.

The rare. That's, I think, does it make his eyes too big? I think that's it. You're not supposed to look dumber when you put glasses on. The idea that McDermott on the sideline was yelling after a broken tackle. And A. Chan had like 200 of his yards after broken tackles. That's the most tackles he's ever broken in a game. And again, almost 200 of his yards.

after initial contact. McDermott screaming, screaming, wrap him up on a tackle at Bosa, who's got a cast on his arm. Like, it would be more difficult to wrap anybody up with a cast on their arm, right? Correct? We're in agreement that if someone's got a cast on their arm,

they're more likely to be susceptible to the broken tackle if they've got a cast on their arm. McDermott, from the safety of the sidelines, telling Bosa of all people, Bosa, who's a good pass, Roger, and a good football player, wrap him up as if that's not what Bozo was trying to do with a cast on his arm, was lunacy, but that bill's result, you tell me if I'm wrong, to me. I'd put it at the top of the list on most surprising results this entire season,

where you're a nine-point dog at the beginning of the week, it slides down to eight over the course of the week, and then the game comes, and you just throttle them. The bills can't do anything offensively when they've got the MVP at quarterback, back, and then all of a sudden the MVP is fumbling the ball, and they're just, it was a disaster for the bills on the day the Patriots are going and they're beating Baker in Tampa when Baker's got the opportunities to beat them late, and now the Patriots are at the top of the division. When does the realization sweep over the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen that their window closed?

Like, they had an area, they had a time frame there. Boy, you've got some takes today. They had a time frame there where the Patriots are terrible. Patriots looking like they're back. And the bills lost the dollars. I'm really pumped at the possibility of having an AFC playoff in which the bills and the Chiefs have to do it on the road. They don't have any home games. Oh, I mean, the Chiefs are going to have to do it on the road.

Like that seems almost definite at this point. Yeah, but them and the like what kind of odds could you have gotten that on that before the season? They're going to be in the playoffs, but they're not going to have a home game. Let's talk a little bit, though, about the Patriots because Drake May's deep throwing ability is a special thing, and they're really well coached. The things that you saw at the end of the first half with Rabel, where he's just squeezing the time out of the first half

so that he can get the ball back in the second half, and then on fourth and short, they're throwing it to Diggs, and Diggs is making an amazing play on fourth and short. I don't know if he's getting the same kind of separation, but the hands are as good as ever. He's scorn touchdowns all the time, And there was a really cool moment when Henderson broke out of the pile,

bounced it outside, is running for 80 yards, and he's so fast that he's looking to the sideline for coaching. Do I go in the end zone or do I do the thing where I kneel before? He's doing that mid-stride looking at Vrable. Maybe the bill should have kept him. It's been a minute since the Patriots had a skill guy who was that fast. Like I'm thinking back to Randy Moss. Like it's been a minute since the Patriots had a skilled position player

who could break an 80-yard run. We saw yesterday how the. Colts are going to lose in the playoffs. It's going to be, Daniel Jones is going to be throwing to Warren the entire game. And they should have lost yesterday because the ball he threw on fourth and two to Warren, Warren wasn't any kind of open. Simply wasn't open. And the things that happened in that game were amazing, including my favorite moment from that game, which is the pregame interview, after 37 years since the Berlin Wall fell, Bejohn Robinson, your thoughts. That's how that game started in Germany

where they were asking Bijon Robinson questions about the Berlin Wall. What do you say? That's my gimmick. I mean, it's a perfect opportunity for it, man. It doesn't really matter what he said. All that really matters is that they asked him the question

before the game. That Colts game had some funny sound. The referee at the end of regulation, first of all, this is great. They got the coin flip wrong. And they got the coin flip wrong because when you're in Berlin, you know who the home team is and they just didn't know who the home team was and the referee didn't know that the game or the way he was saying it because I'm guessing

he was a little nervous stalking just you know 80,000 Germans in a stadium the referee kept saying that the game was over when they were headed into overtime can we just play the sound and then we hear Pereira can we just hear the sound of the referee just wildly confused and he just need he really needed to like he needed to stop talking and and he wouldn't he just kept yank play that sound please the time out to delay the 10 second runoff so there is a 10 second runoff plus it offered to wind the clock so it really ends the game at this point end of regulation we'll go to overtime so again i mean it i'm not sure what he said there he said that they're

going to go to overtime but if they are going to properly if they're going to properly enforce this they would should have reset the clock to 11 seconds second we're waiting for it and right on cue i trust perr or more than i trust those referees what happened there he just got really nervous confused and got everything wrong at what point is he like you know what give me a second i need to gather myself and then they went to the coin flip and they got that wrong as as well in in a game he had the wrong person call the flip where microscopic inches and the margins are tiny and and the referee clearly did not know what you're it is that he was doing. That game

yesterday is why people don't trust the bills. Like that game... The Colts. No, well, no, no. They don't trust the Colts either. The Colts won that game, but I'm talking about that game yesterday. I transitioned without telling you I was transitioning. That game yesterday is why it is that people do not trust the Buffalo Bills to do anything meaningful. But the thing that's weird about the game, the thing that's weirdest about the game isn't even that the Dolphins won, though that's

weird enough. The weirdest thing about the game, the bills never lose like that. They never lose like that. They're always in the game because of who their quarterback is and because they can go get offense. Did the rain slow them down that much? It can't just be that James Cook was banged up. Every running back in the league and every backup running back in the league is gone for 100 plus yards against the dolphins run defense. I don't know how they stopped him. You were asking for reasons. He almost didn't play. That's all I'm telling you. I am confused by everything that with the Dolphins game yesterday. And I have yet to

hear a good explanation. I've heard some explanations, but a better explanation than I have football. I gave you James Cook. It wasn't good enough for you. I'll keep hitting the books, seeing what I can find. I don't know. There doesn't have to be an explanation. See what they did in the A-gap. There does need to be an explanation. We hyper-examine all of these

games. There does need to be an explanation for the things that you saw. There you go. That's that hot to the list. Let's come up with a list. I mean, Josh McDaniel has played the Bills. We went over this on the Thursday nighter. He plays them tight. He doesn't get the results often,

but he does know how to keep a game against the Buffalo Bills tight. And small sample here, when they play the Bills at home on a 1 p.m. start, that's when you get your best punch. That was the last time they beat him. You say that he knows how to keep these games close, and I will tell you they have not beaten the Bills in 1,100 days. So while they might know how to keep it close, they lose.

They lose consistently. As sure a result as you will get in that sport is that the dolphins are going to lose to the bills when they play the bills. The bills have overtaken the AFC East, at least in part, because the dolphins can never beat them. But in those 1100 days, how many of those were 1 o'clock Sunday starts? What's chat about Miller Light? That's right. Football season is in high gear. The leaves are turning.

You can see it. Mother Eppel on it. Can we bother are we bothering you right now? Turn on your microphone. My microphone's on. Stugats. Paint the scene. The paint the scene is I got to go to work.

Good night. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Are you guys ready for a Spain 930 start? No. True crappy game next weekend with Washington. I'm in on it. I'll tell you, once it happened to me again yesterday and never fails. And next week's going to be a true test.

The Dolphins, I wake up on Sunday, and it's, oh, yeah, there's a game going on. Like, it was a second quarter before I realized. You sleep in on Sunday until past 9.30. Yeah, play a. And I had a really late Saturday night, man. Go on. Government. Government got me.

Government shut down, Dan. What happened? I got home, like I walked into my house at like 3 a.m. on Sunday. Government shut down. What happened? Flight problems? Yeah, I was stuck in the Atlanta airport for a long time on Saturday. it turns out you need air traffic controllers to fly and if you don't have any of them working

they ground the flights and so i was just chilling in the atlanta airport for a very very like there was like this pocket apparently from like 7 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. where we don't have air traffic controllers so no flights are taking off and it's like and it's had to chill in the airport for a long time what's your strategy when you got a lot of time to kill an airport are you a floor layer? Find a spot in the corner. Am I a floor layer? You're not saying people?

People lay on the floor at airports. I look down on those people. Really? A floor layer in the airport? I've got four hours to kill here. What am I going to sit in these awkward chairs for four hours? How about you're not going to be disgusting? Atlanta is actually a really good airport for spending the night.

Yeah, because I had to spend the night in the Atlanta airport once. Why would you do that? I didn't do it like electively do. What do you talk? Like you're just like, I'm going to go hang out of the airport and lay down. Hey, ladies basketball team, you know what's a great idea? Let's not go home. spend the night here.

No, like, go to the hotel. Go to a hotel. No, it's not that simple. It's not that simple. Did you go to a hotel? Well, no, because my flight was still scheduled to leave at night. So what do you do if you have like four hours to kill? I don't have time to go to hotel. All right, everybody, calm down. You're judging me.

I would have loved to. What'd you do? Just sat there? Look, if they told me at 6 p.m. that I wasn't going to be delayed into oblivion, that I was actually going to have to spend the night in Atlanta, then I probably get the hotel. But you reach a tipping point sometime around midnight when you realize,

oh, boy, I'm probably going to board a flight here at 6. which means I got to get to the airport with my daughter or around like four. You know what? I'm just going to sleep on this floor. That's what I'm going to do. That's how I say to that. He's fine, you know. He did it and he survived.

I sat in the chair and I watched the heat game. That's what I did. Put it on the Polat Lebitard show. Do you judge the person who lays down on the airport floor? How long were you in the Atlanta airport? For like six hours. Let me tell you something. That Vegas airport floor?

That I won't do. Comfy. Get out of here. I was going to say that might be where the line is is. Dude, are you kidding? That one and the Tahoe one. The Reno Airport floor. Oh, no, that one I'll lay on. Rino Airport floor. I'll lay the shit out of that one. I would never lie on the airport. I'll lay face

first. I judge all of them. You're filthy. On my stomach. You guys are a special kind of discussing, and I'll lay down on a floor. I got no problem to lay down on the floor. Yeah, but an airport floor. It's so gross. An airport floor. Go sleep standing up. Why do I have to sleep? Is there an airport?

Is there an airport hotel in the Atlanta airport? Yeah. Yeah, there is a place that you can spend some money and rest. And everybody got delayed that day, so it was all fully booked. And there just weren't any good options. They realize you travel in such a large group. Yeah. Okay.

It did. I did, actually. It was with the Miami Hurricanes Women's Basketball team. Well, this was just me. One of the things that I saw reported yesterday, I had not seen it before yesterday. It may have been reported before. yesterday is that the bills, because of their wide receiver problems, and man, I thought Shakir and Coleman would be better for Josh Allen. I thought Shakir and Coleman would be two,

I mean, he must have targeted Coleman eight or nine times yesterday and only got three catches out of it. That's what he does. Dayton back to FSU. I told you about this guy. Yeah, I liked him out of FSU. I thought they got a steal getting him as late as they did in the first round, and he hasn't been that good for them. He had eight targets yesterday. Yeah. And the thing that I had heard reported that I had not heard before yesterday is that the Bills were offering a first and a third for Waddle. That is not something that I had heard before yesterday. And a first and the third from the Bills isn't going to be very good because it's going to be a late first round pick. And so they decided not to trade Waddle at the trade deadline. And Matthew Berry told you Waddle was going to have a big game against the Bills defense. The Bills defense has some real problems that are going to be bigger problems in the playoff. Their run defense is a problem. Ed Oliver, not being healthy is a problem. And their defense in general is...

The window's closed, Dan. What? Yeah. They've got the MVP of the league at the quarterback position. You're going to close the window on them? Yeah. Like, no one's going to go into the playoffs, favoring the bills to win the AFC? They just beat the Chiefs at home a week ago.

They beat the Chiefs at home always. They literally always do that. They do. They're five and one against Mahomes in the regular season. Okay, but they just did that. They did that to a chief's team that everybody was saying was fully and all the way back. Look, do you know how confusing it is to me to see the chiefs have more trouble against the bills than the dolphins did on offense? Explain that to me.

Like, you could go heat, you could go rain, you could go James Cook is banged up. But the offense of the dolphins had more success against the bill's defense than the chiefs did. Dan, Jeremy has busted open in the books. And we have another reason as to why Miami pulled off this upset. That's right. Per next-gen stats, Dan, Alan's average time to throw. was 3.53 seconds that was the longest of his career. The longest of his career in this game.

Receivers can't get open. Maybe he should request a trade because they won't get him any weapons. Well, the window is closed. Windows closed. What are you going to do? If the window's closed, your next step is you got to request a trade. I'll give up two in a first. I saw that stat of three and a half seconds,

and I still thought that the dolphin defense is banged up enough and bad enough that I would think that if I'm giving Josh Allen 3, and a half seconds of time, I'm going to be in trouble because I don't trust that defense at all. I will say it again. The Chief's offense that everyone says, and I agree, is fully back, struggled more against that defense than the Dolphins did. Now, part of that was ball control. Part of that was the fact that the bills just kept giving the ball to James Cook to run up the middle, and so they just held the ball a lot, and Kansas City didn't have it as much as the Dolphins did. How about this Dolphin team fighting for their head coach, huh?

toxic vibes. No one saw this wind coming. Let's show for people here something that people are saying may have been AI generated, but I don't believe that people are so bored or that AI is so bored. Really? People are bored, Dan. They would create this fictitiously, but it is being said that this is real, that Mike McDaniel, on his way home, past the elbow room, which is famously Bill Central, whenever it is that the bills come down here and win,

as they so often have over the last 1,100 days, it has said that Mike McDaniel and a black mat car just swung by the elbow room and hung out of the car, put it on the poll at Lebitard show. Do you drive with an arm out of the car, out of the window at Lebitard show? Because Mike McDaniel is flexing a little bit there as he drives past and he's looking straight into the elbow room.

I see all five fingers. This is not AI for me. That's always the first thing I look at. I look if the fingers are intact. It looks like a normal hand. The watch is on the sleeve. I see a watch. Does it have to be AI, or could it just be Photoshop?

Could someone have taken that image? No, no, no, Photoshop's anymore. Get with the times. It's always AI. No one Photoshop's anymore. I'm doing the math on what time the game would have. It gets dark down here, like with the time change, like 6 o'clock. Could it have been that light out after?

You know what? That's actually a... That's good detective work on you. Amen's at 420. He does press comedy. He's probably, what time is he leaving the stadium? He's definitely not leaving before. 520?

5.30. It takes probably a half hour to get from the stadium to elbow room. I don't even think he's leaving by 5.30. That's the only part of this that makes me skeptical. That's good detective work. Thank you. Speaking of the confusions of AI, can you guys get me some information on something my wife told me?

I've gotten used to my wife gasping now when she is looking at the phone, and there are any number of things that it can always be when you. she's gasping sometimes we're just bombing random uh you know boats in in the ocean uh it's just there are all sorts of things every day that make her gas but today i was surprised by learning of the existence of a tilly norwood a name i had not heard before it's an a i actress that has been created but she also told me that there are 40 more in the shop that they are creating actors and actresses to replace our actors and actresses so that you still can't recreate the writing. That's going to take a minute to tell the stories as well as they

need to be told. But I don't know how it is that the future is going to look with fake actors created by AI. I could have sworn we had a strike about that. We did have a strike about that because the writers and others, in fact, Mike Scher was in the middle of that, trying to prevent Disney and others from being able to put actors out of work by artificially creating actors. But Jeremy, can you get me any information that you can on both Tilly Norwood, which is a name for a fake actress that has just been created by computers and this army of actors that are being prepared that are in the shop to replace other actors? I'll find some more information in a second. I know that as of about a month ago when they

were talking about Tilly, they said that agencies were lining up to represent her. What does that mean? That's not a real person. What does that mean? It's a good question. I believe we're all going to be asking it over the next few years. What does that mean? We're so screwed. That is going to be a part of our lexicon for a while.

A lot of milk and her coffee. You're done with the bills? Yeah. You can't trust that team. That team's never going to win anything. I just, yeah, I think the window's closed in the AFC, so I do. Can you objectify AI? I want to.

You can't say that, Zaslow. You can't say that. They've dominated the division. They've dominated the division. They go 17 straight years without winning a playoff game, and they've dominated the division since because they have this quarterback. Yeah. I don't trust that team at all.

And yesterday, I derived actually a lot of pleasure watching that ass kicking right there. I love watching that Bill's team lose. I love the idea that you had all of those fans there at Elbow Room yesterday, who thought they were going to be there for a big party. They're going to crush the Dolphins. Game was never close. Hell, it sounded like the crowd at the stadium yesterday was mostly Bills fans. I love that those people were sour yesterday.

That team is never going to win anything. It's all the team sucks, okay? And they killed the Bills yesterday. These teams aren't going to win anything. But although right now six in the AFC, like they're not even near the top. They're not going to go on the road three games. They are near the top. Zazlo.

Five teams ahead of them. Zazlo. Zazz. A definition, though. Five teams. They've got three losses and the others have. have two. What do you mean? There's not a, there's not a one team. There's not a one lost team

in the AFC, is there? If you're sixth, are you close to the top? Yep. If your one game within the two lost teams, you are close to the top. That was not the question. Are there five two lost teams? And then the bills, the bills yesterday because of that result, are

now one game back of the five teams? Where do they? What are the standings today? Today, they're sixth. If Buffalo loses next week, they'd be out of the playoff picture. Is that close? Dan? Is that close? Because 6 is not close to first. Do you understand how standing's worth? Not at the top. They are one game out.

Are they not? Or are they a game and a half out? Is there someone who has a game in hand on them? You're trying to throw semantics here and I'm looking at standings. I know that number one is the top and number six is not. Okay, but name the five teams with two losses. The cult of the one seed with two losses. You're doing this also without

looking at the rest of the schedule as well. But go ahead. Name the teams with the If you don't play a little win loss, win loss. I don't I don't want to. Sounds like you do. No. I What I want to do is question your overreaction and your knee jerking because you haven't even looked at the schedule and you're declaring the bill's window closed. I'm looking right now. Next week? That's a good.

I'm looking right now. Tough schedule. I realize that once I let it lay out. I keep going. They got the Buccaneers next week. Bucks just lost the Patriots. Okay. Bucks next week.

Tough one. Fired up. Don't want to lose two in a row for Tampa. That's tough game. I'm going to let you think about the rest of the schedule. though. All right. It must get easier after that game.

Don Lebatard. Get someone say conservative entity? Whoa! No! Oh, see, this is why. Stugats. Her's was better than mine. In the fifth Seagaki.

How is the fifth Seagaki better than the third and the fourth Seagaki already? This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Saz, you see that late fumble by Josh Allen? They definitely don't play the technical. You see that late fumble? You see that late fumble by Josh Allen? You know what my favorite, you know my favorite moment of the game yesterday? You're not going to listen to me?

Yeah, well, yeah, I saw the fumble, yeah. Yeah, I saw it happen. Yeah. It was a punch. Look at the picture. Can you harass an AI? In the Washington game yesterday, by the way, somebody just punched St. Brown.

Just punched it. We're okay with that, huh? That's a different kind of punch, though. Everyone's okay. That punching him, we should get out of here. Why was it a penalty? We're okay with punching. If he was holding a football.

Yeah. If you had a footballer and said, it's okay. It's the stupidest thing. It's so dumb. You saying the bill's window is closed is comparably dumb, I would say. It's just, it's too strong a take. You can't do that. You know what?

Window may never have been open because Swindon's the last time they were in the Super Bowl. Swindon may not have been open. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe it's not close. It can't be close if it's never open. Maybe I am wrong. Let's segue better than I did from Colt's Bills earlier into some things going on in local sports here, inner Miami among them. But before I get to that, do you guys know the heat player through six games, through his first six games, who has more points than any heat player ever through six games?

by a lot, by the way. It's not by a little. Are you familiar with this stat I'm about to give? I don't think so. So Alonzo Morning scored like 117 points in his first six games as a member of the Heat. LeBron James scored like 122 points. Dwayne Wade was coming off the bench at the beginning. Okay, and their Heat debut.

Okay, got that. The first six heat games. Their first six Heat games. Norman Powell has scored more points, like 20 plus points than any other. heat player in his first six games. And it's not just that he's made the heat a good deal better. The clippers are now worse because they do not have Norman Powell. This has been an important player that was somehow acquired for Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson. And he's an easy player to like. He's easy to watch. Seems like a likable enough guy. I'm taken to this Norman

Powell. I'll like him. This you're probably taking to him because he scored more points through six games than any heat player. It's a vibe thing too. You saw him with Yovitz. after the game. That was adorable. He has made a difference, and I believe that this is a heat playoff team. I believe they will have trouble all season winning on the road. They will also have trouble late in games, although against Portland, they did pull away late. But I do believe this team will have trouble winning road games. We don't know yet what their late game strategy is going to look like, because they have

yet to play a game with all three of Bamadabio, Tyler, Hero, and Norman Powell. The fact that they're going to have all three of those playmakers late, especially considering the way that they're sharing the ball and moving around right now. Like they closed it out with Nico Yovic, who had an unbelievable game against Portland. But they closed it out with him being the primary ball handler. They've closed out other games with Jaime Haka's Jr. The options right now are endless for this team offensively with record-setting quarters over and over and over again. It's been really impressive to watch thus far. Did Spoh start using Yovich differently?

immediately after Yokic was like, hey, this guy's good. You should use him differently. It was like a game later and all of a sudden he has his best game. Interesting timing. There's some motivation for Yovic going up against Yokic and then being able to respond to that. But the usage rate was simply because you don't have Bama at a bio as your big man. So now all of a sudden he's got to be playing some of that role where he's playing small ball five at times. I mean, they've deployed Kashan Johnson for minutes.

That's just how Yokic suggested. Well, that's been what they've been trying to do. They've been trying to get Yovic to use his body to be physical. You hear it on the broadcast. You hear Crotty talk about it all the time. Spolstra was after that unbelievable game. It was 29, 9, and 6 for Yovic, and he's talking about the last play of the game where he could have iced it and took like a step back three and was like,

why is he doing this James Hardin thing? I told him, go post up, use your body, be physical. He would have been able to do it. That's the stuff they're trying to get him to do. they're trying to get Calaisal, where to grow. But thus far, the offense has been great, and it's interchangeable pieces, which is nice for this team that's been constantly dealing with injuries. So the last two games, the heat, have scored 126 and 136. Obviously, no Tyler Hero, also no bam at a bio, and they're scoring 126 and 136.

But tonight, Dan, tonight they start a home and home, all right? But both games are at your home. They have a home and then another home against Cleveland. tonight, Dan. That's not a home home. I didn't understand. I just explained it to you. What was hard to understand about that?

I just explained it. It's a home and a home, but they're both at your home. Somebody was confused? Yeah. It can't be a home and home if you're never going on the road to their home. A home and a home both games at your home. Somebody's confused? Stop being such a man.

Just like, say, I screwed that one up. That one's off me, coach. So stubborn. I'll tell you what I will say. It's one thing you beat the Hornets. It's the worst team in professional sports. It's another thing you beat the trailblazers. All right, they're fine.

You got the calves tonight. And Wednesday, some people call it at home and home at your home. Tonight, Dan, it's a show me game. What? Yep. What? Tonight's a show me game. Wait a minute.

You said against the Spurs they had a buy-in game. They lost that one. I know, I know. What's the difference between a buy-in game and a show-me game? Because a buy-in game, early in the season, you don't really know if you should be buying into the team or not. And that's why it was a buy-in game. But now, we're a couple weeks later, we're 10 games in. Ten games are decent enough sample size.

You know a little bit about your team. But like I said, you beat stupid teams like the Hornets, like the Clippers. Those teams aren't any good. Well, guess what? The Cavs and the Heat are undefeated at home. All right? That's a tough place to play, Kasea Center. Tonight, you got the Cavaliers.

If you beat a good team like Cleveland, you show me something. That's why tonight, show me game. And that's without Pam and Todd. Tyler to have that show me game. But their next five games. You got Cleveland, Cleveland, New York, New York, and Golden State before taking on Chicago. That is an actual home and home. That's at New York on Friday.

Home. That's a home and home with the Knicks. A real home and home. A real home and home. Their home and home. And then your home. That's not a home and home. Yeah, that's a home and home too.

That's not a home and home. They're both home and homes. You can't have a home and home. And everything's a home. You cannot have a home and home when you never go to their home. You have 82. You just have to specify. This right now against Cleveland's a home and home, both games are your home.

Then against the Knicks, it's a home and home. Their home, your home. I'm sorry, is this a record for home and homes in a season? Miami, apparently has 41 of them. All right, see, now you're being stupid. This is where we are with the stats on the Miami Heat. They're 13th in offensive rating, fifth and defensive rating, seventh in net rating, and all of that is very good in a week, week.

East. You know they have two players in the top 10 in individual net rating and their names are Jaime Hockas Jr. and Drew Smith? I love that Hawkes. That's my dog. He's been pretty good in this offense. He's been unlocked by what they're doing. It's a bad East and they have

the third best net rating in the East. But I don't want to go another minute without talking about this six month long first round series that Inter Miami is playing. They do not have happened to them against Nashville. What happened to them against Atlanta? where a team with great expectations and the best star in the world gets knocked out in the first round last year.

They survive it this year and they survive it with big punctuation against Nashville blowing them out. Is the next series like two months? It was really long. It's three weeks long. Yes. But fear not. MLS playoffs make a ton of sense. Now they're all single elimination from here.

Shut up. What? Are you serious? No, jazz, don't fall for this. He's messing with us. That's not true. It's true. No, I don't believe.

First round of the MLS playoff, it's the best of three. There's no way they go backwards. There's no way. I'm looking this up. And now they're all single elimination from here. Big liar. I knew this would be an issue. I don't believe you.

Yeah. Messi scored five goals in the three games. He absolutely owns Nashville. They hate seeing him. He beat them in the league's cup two years ago. Believe it or not, this is the first time in franchise history, Inter Miami, have advanced past the first round. He's right.

He's not lying. This is stupid. That's a real thing? they play a series to open the playoffs and then it's single elimination that's right see the MLS is like we get all these random results because it's soccer

and single elimination in the first round that's stupid we want the random stuff later in the playoffs so you play a series to make sure the better team wins you do that at the beginning but then when you get to potentially the championship

let's just fly by the seat of our pants that's right one game for your life against Cincinnati. Let's go. Can you guys find out to me why we fly by the seat of our pants? Is that a Peter Pan reference? And also, the reason they have to do that is because if they made every series as long as the first round, it wouldn't be over for seven years. You wouldn't be able to decide a champion in a calendar year. Well, it went to game three, and you had Louis Suarez suspended for the final game of the home, home and home. Good. What do you mean? Good. I don't like him. He was suspended for violent conduct. He kicked out a player that wasn't called

on the field. Enough of this guy. Well, this guy, is there a soccer player, like, punitively and empirically, is there a soccer player ever who gets into as much trouble as Luis Suarez beyond biting people? Like, you just said a violent act, but we talked about him. He didn't get suspended for spitting. Like, is there a soccer player ever that's gotten into as much trouble on the field as Lee Suarez?
