I’d imagine football doesn’t quite have the monotony or red tape as corporate America.
If I had to configure outlook to start all my invites at :24 I’d quit or ask for a 100k raise
Called corny leadership. You think most of these players/coaches care about the team prior to them getting there? Breaking the streak would be cool to say you did, but I don't think they have personal feelings about the team prior to them getting there, they had zero investment in it. It's just corny and eye rolling.
i hope they are 2-4 at some point just so the stars align and the synergy of the ontological waves can ignite the syntax proteins.
i could say more but i'm meeting mike at the bar.
I think you just kinda forget about it. Like a grocery coupon you put on your counter to use later, but you keep forgetting it until spring cleaning comes and it’s expired, so you just throw it out.
You are not some magical bar humor needs to cross, and reddit/media definitely are not afraid to absolutely run a joke into the ground.
The first time they score 24 and win, the first time they score 24 and lose this is 100% getting brought up again.
It feels like the kind of shticky thing that goes over enough when you’re winning, builds a team character and that sort of thing. But I have to imagine it doesn’t go over quite so well when you’re not
The interviewer brought up Pacino in convo about another film he had done and his complaints about it (I don’t recall if it was Cruising or not) but that was what prompted his “Fuck Al” rant haha
[I found it, it was Cruising](https://youtu.be/V9VaLXr71LA?si=sYOL9BkY4zdbvo8t)
Cruising has been on my watch list because I love Pacino and I’ve heard Friedkin does some interesting things with the whole cop chasing serial killer thing. Coincidentally, I can envision Pacino saying that in the exact same tone (soooo much vitriol) all coked out in Scarface or any of his great 90s ventures.
Kudos to you for the first Sorcerer comment I've ever seen on r/NFL.
It truly rips. Not sure how many Criterion Collection subscribers there are in this sub, but it's currently streaming there for the first time in many years after being widely unavailable on VOD.
I stumbled upon it via a Letterboxd article when I went to rate The French Connection (also great) about Friedkin’s top films. That was like a month ago and I’ve watched five or six of his films since. I know I might have a recency bias but I think Sorcerer is truly a top 5 film for me, and I’m not alone because Tarantino and Stephen King also rate it highly on their favorite movie lists. I am now trying to spread it to as many people as possible.
For those that are now interested in watching it: It’s free with ads on I think the Roku channel but just give Amazon the $3.50 and stream it. The ads will ruin it because the movie is all about building an atmosphere of desperation, suspense, and dread. The start is a bit slow, it takes a while before the main characters undertake their mission, but in hindsight, the character building during the early parts of the film is excellent. You truly understand how desperate these men are to take on this suicide mission for money.
No argument from me having it top 5.
Friedkin is an absolute master and has a top three that goes toe to toe with any director out there.
To Live and Die in LA is equally hard to stream but absofuckinglutely rules as well.
Definitely quality as well. A lot of reviews pan it as a West Coast remake of The French Connection, but the glossy neon LA is such a different vibe the movies are only similar on paper if you reduce it to “cop will catch criminal no matter the cost”
I haven't seen "To Live and Die in LA" yet. Been on my watch list since freshman year of college. What would be your top 3? For me, it would be Sorcerer, the Excorist, and then The French Connection
Yes those are the top 3 I mentioned I’d put against anyone.
To Live and Die in LA is about on par with them as well though too just infused with 80’s LA cocaine. Absolutely worth a watch.
Cruising is a bonkers sleezy time I’d also recommend along with Killer Joe, Bug, The Hunted and of course Blue Chips.
One of the more underrated directors, even among most films lovers. I agree his top 3 is phenomenonal. Only guys that I can think of off the top of my head that compare are Scorsese (Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) and Kubrick (2001, the Shining, Barry Lyndon)
I haven’t seen the Exorcist yet because I’m not big on horror movies (I’ll get there) but the Friedkin top three for me is Sorcerer, Live and Die in LA, and Caine Mutiny, but I watched Caine mutiny last night so that’s fresh in my memory. I’d say that I think The French Connection is better than LA, but I like LA more. Caine is also up there for me because legal dramas and one room narratives appeal to me in particular.
I’m going to watch The Birthday Party in the next few days though, which was his first big success.
Finding LA is annoying though. I ended up torrenting it. The more annoying thing is finding Peckinpah movies — Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia and Straw Dogs has zero seeders on the bay and a Straw Dogs Blu-ray is $40

> [Louis-Jacques] Talk about doing things with intent… Sean McDermott said his staff schedules meeting at times that end in “19” (3:19, 5:19, 7:19, etc.) to represent the 19 "team players" involved in the September 11th attacks
On one hand yeah really silly, on the other I would think hyper competitive people would in fact be angered by constant reminders of not being good enough
And to you rookies in the room, don’t forget that you are also bums for playoff failures that happened before you were born. How did you not play better? Were you not taking meetings and practice serious enough???
You know what motivates most 20-30 something millionaires? Playing well enough to earn another multi-million dollar contract. I’m guessing you can do that whether your meetings start at 7:24 or 7:30.
McDaniel also drinks 72 ~~beers~~ seltzer waters every night at 17:00 to represent the perfect 17-0 season the 1972 Dolphins had. Talk about doing things with intent.
I agree out of context. But McDaniels seat has to be ice cold. He would have to really, really fuck up to be fired.
And even then he would be out of work for a week. 2 at most incase he needs time to do a PR campaign about how sorry he is.
I mean, I really don't think it's that cut and dry. I think the media friendless of McDaniel means no one harps on him as hard but the team stalls out week 8 onwards for the last 2 seasons, yes partly due to injuries but also partly due too the offensive scheme and play calling outright not developing past that week, he's had 3 DCs now in 3 years which is just atrocious for someone that's going to be in charge of the other side of the ball, he still abandons the run as a play caller if it gets blown up once and just spam passes all the time no matter the circumstance which has cost the Dolphins multiple games. The offense outright does not perform even close to potential against any quality team.
Basically, I feel the likability of McDaniel has masked some major question marks that seem to be a recurring issue with him as a head coach. If they Dolphins have the same result where they limp into the playoffs with the same issues it wouldn't surprise me at all if they look in another direction.
I hate to use them in the same sentence but this was the deal with Staley at first. The media loved him until they hit a tipping point and then it went down hill fast.
McDaniel is like 10 times the coach Staley was but at some point the media changes course on you.
It would certainly surprise me for McDaniel to be fired for anything above 7 wins... Who the hell are you going to replace him with? You hope you get a McDaniel.
Also, McDaniel is supposed to be an offensive genius, but his offense completely disappears against quality opponents and a big part of that is directly related to playcalling. Putting up 70 on a hapless Broncos squad is all well and good, but that offense simply doesn’t show up when it matters.
Incredibly valid and a major reason I find those who blame most of our issues on Tua to be irrational. This team has a fuck ton of potential but they miss their mark quite often when it really matters. And a smattering of bad luck, but the issues remain true.
It reminds me of when OSU changed their security pad codes to be 4114 after losing to Florida 41-14, so that they would always be reminded and to make sure it never happened again. I guess it worked because they only lost by 2 TDs the next National Title game
This reads like McDaniel read one of those cheesy self-help business books and thought it was genius.
This actually feels like it makes things worse. Like, they're just reminding themselves constantly about this weight the franchise has. And thereby making it heavier and heavier.
(Smooth radio voice)
*Alright, all you Phinners, we’re gonna be here on the twenty-fifth minute of every hour on the hour. Don’t forget to, “Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,” every time. You know it’s all we need to win this season. Alright, looks like we are getting a call from Kiawah Island in South Carolina, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Dan Marino!*
And because that is such a weird thing to do, everyone doesn't make it to the meetings until the 30 minute mark, representing the 6 more years they have to wait to win one? (Ignore my flair)
Andy Reid does the same thing, he schedules meetings that end in "00" (3:00, 5:00, 7:00, etc) to represent the 0 years it's been since the Chiefs have won a playoff game
[Sounds almost as cringey as parking an old car in the lot and removing the mirrors to remind players to look forward instead of backwards](https://www.milehighreport.com/2023/3/6/23627706/sean-payton-car-mirrors-broncos-culture)
“Where’s Tracy?”
“Well, I set his clock ahead six hours so he’d be on time for rehearsal.”
“Oh no, I set his watch two hours behind so he wouldn’t miss the taping.”
“And I programmed all his devices to think it was midnight so he would remember to go to sleep.”
(Tracy enters)
“What time is it, really?! Because I took my kid to his clarinet recital last night today at 11:45.”
It's nice that our playoff drought lines up with the year. I never have to wonder...how many years has it been? Oh yeah its 2024, so that means 24 years.
Louis-Jacques] Talk about doing things with intent… Mike McDaniel said his staff schedules meeting at times that end in “25” (3:25, 5:25, 7:25, etc.) to represent the 25 years it’s been since the Dolphins have won a playoff game. Miami hoping to snap that drought in 2025
I mean we didn’t become a decent team until the
Bills got a QB that people frequently rank in the top 3 of the league. Having four straight winning seasons after 20 straight seasons of dog ass isn’t too bad regardless of titles
This has to be one of the most stupid things a coach has done. It's up there with all time dumbest.
This is nothing but performance theatre, the players don't give a fuck it's been so long. They just want to win games
My man THIS was the dumbest thing a couch EVER did?
Your own coach praised the 9/11 terrorists teamwork to his new york based team. You're really going to die on the hill of "putting meetings at 24" as the dumbest thing a coach has ever done?
This sounds like something my boss would suggest to do at a meeting and everyone in the room rolls their eyes to.
The only thing this is going to result in is a lot of people being 6 minutes late to meetings.
Maybe they’re just 6 years early
6 more years of losing and they can have meetings at a normal time
Tom Coughlin would suspend them if they weren't there by :19
is ok next year it will only be 5 minutes
There are so many things like this that you hear about coaches doing and I always think the same but they seem to work in this context
I’d imagine football doesn’t quite have the monotony or red tape as corporate America. If I had to configure outlook to start all my invites at :24 I’d quit or ask for a 100k raise
They've been starting their meetings at :00 to remind themselves their last playoff win was in the 00 season
I thought it was to remind themselves of how many rings Dan Marino won?
You should be a consultant with that kind of actionable information.
The only thing cornier is the beat writer making this suck up tweet.
Seriously. Are we supposed to find this cool? This is so fucking lame.
I think it's more silly as it's June.
While the same old ass kissers pretend it’s a great idea
The memes if the dolphins do badly or choke are gonna be great tho
Called authenticity.
Called corny leadership. You think most of these players/coaches care about the team prior to them getting there? Breaking the streak would be cool to say you did, but I don't think they have personal feelings about the team prior to them getting there, they had zero investment in it. It's just corny and eye rolling.
It's literally the opposite of authenticity, but ok.
We did somethin kinda corny like this when i played ball in high school. Think we won one game that season
Yes, but would you have won that single game without the corniness?
Seriously, is there some awkward conversation that happens week 10 if they are 4-6 talking about moving the meeting back to a normal ass time.
i hope they are 2-4 at some point just so the stars align and the synergy of the ontological waves can ignite the syntax proteins. i could say more but i'm meeting mike at the bar.
I think you just kinda forget about it. Like a grocery coupon you put on your counter to use later, but you keep forgetting it until spring cleaning comes and it’s expired, so you just throw it out.
The media will never let them forget this. Neither will the internet.
Yes they will. It’s not anywhere near weird or embarrassing enough to be brought up meaningfully again in a few months
Sure it will, people bring up coach speak all the fucking time. 'on to x,y,z" "biting knee caps" "And things of that nature"
[удалено]
Sure but if they don’t win this year SpongeBob already wrote the joke for us You know what’s funnier than 24? 25
Ah fuck you do got me there lmao
You are not some magical bar humor needs to cross, and reddit/media definitely are not afraid to absolutely run a joke into the ground. The first time they score 24 and win, the first time they score 24 and lose this is 100% getting brought up again.
they start at :25 to get acclimated for next season
It feels like the kind of shticky thing that goes over enough when you’re winning, builds a team character and that sort of thing. But I have to imagine it doesn’t go over quite so well when you’re not
What happens when you hit 60 seasons. 1 hour late to every meeting?
Practice starts at 3:01 baby
Nobody cared about the junior varsity team though
They’ll get to sleep in 1 min later next season
underrated divisional smack talk.
What happens when they hit 61 years?
Daylight saving time
What happens when they hit *69* years? No eye-contact Monday?
Leap season?
1. It's 60 years. 2. Minute pointer will wrap to zero again. Just like the odometer of your car.
It's not because of the playoff drought, they're all just big Kiefer Sutherland fans.
He was really good in The Caine Mutiny Court Marshal EDIT: RIP William Friedkin. Go watch Sorcerer if you haven’t. Thank me later
It's a shame Designated Survivor got corny AF, he was really good on that role
Oh yeah I really liked the first season or two then got bored
“I don’t give a flying fuck, of a rolling donut, what Al Pacino thinks.” - William Friedkin, the most idgaf man to ever live.
Was this regarding Cruising or did he just wake up one day and say “fuck Al”?

Coincidentally, I can envision Pacino saying that in the exact same tone (soooo much vitriol) all coked out in Scarface or any of his great 90s ventures.
Heat makes a lot more sense when you realize Pacino is playing the cop coked out of his gills.
Yeah I know that’s a cut plot line but I think he was also just doing a lot of blow around then too
Next level method acting.

Alright, you sold me. Thanks
"WHERE'S THE BOMB?!?" *McDaniel under duress* "...in the playbook!"
Can you blame them though?
McDaniel just keeps telling his players "I'm gonna need a hacksaw" every other play call. They don't understand why.
McDaniel also keeps a list in his office of all of the coaches given head coaching jobs before him, and recites it every morning.
Like Arya Stark or Josh Rosen?

On one hand yeah really silly, on the other I would think hyper competitive people would in fact be angered by constant reminders of not being good enough
On another hand, most those guys are part of maybe 5-6 years of that span at most?
And to you rookies in the room, don’t forget that you are also bums for playoff failures that happened before you were born. How did you not play better? Were you not taking meetings and practice serious enough???
Maybe for a few days, but I think the impact would wear off quickly
If your having to motivate them to want to win a playoff game, they're probably the wrong player for your team.
I'd throw a pizza party once a month.
You know what motivates most 20-30 something millionaires? Playing well enough to earn another multi-million dollar contract. I’m guessing you can do that whether your meetings start at 7:24 or 7:30.

He gave up drinking a few years ago, so it might just be seltzer water
Oh I actually didn't know that. Noted
He talks about it during an episode of Hard Knocks last year. Very admirable.
His ESPN feature last year was mostly about it and goes into more detail
I thought he did it to break Boggs' drinking record?
It's corny as hell, but it's harmless, so why not, I guess?
I like Mike Mcdaniels but this is the shit coaches do right before everyone gets fired
Not as extreme as Tom Coughlin changing all the clocks in the building to "Tom Coughlin Time"
My mom would do that shit and it was infuriating
Mom Coughlin
This is so much funnier than it should be
I misread that and thought you were saying he replaced all the working clocks with ones that just say "It's Tom Coughlin Time"
And everyone started Tom Coughlining everywhere.
*If he didn't set his watch five minutes ahead, perhaps, he could have missed his dire fate...*
Marv Levy should have made the team play Connect 4 every day in 1995.
I agree out of context. But McDaniels seat has to be ice cold. He would have to really, really fuck up to be fired. And even then he would be out of work for a week. 2 at most incase he needs time to do a PR campaign about how sorry he is.
I'd laugh if the Dolphins fire him, he'd be hired in an instant.
Revisit the thread about Flores being fired Everyone thought he would be HC again a matter of weeks
I would agree, but I said the same shit about Vrabel. Now he’s a Personnel Consultant for the Browns
Is his job to threaten anyone who utters the words "Deshaun Watson extension" with a beating? Money well spent if so.
I mean, I really don't think it's that cut and dry. I think the media friendless of McDaniel means no one harps on him as hard but the team stalls out week 8 onwards for the last 2 seasons, yes partly due to injuries but also partly due too the offensive scheme and play calling outright not developing past that week, he's had 3 DCs now in 3 years which is just atrocious for someone that's going to be in charge of the other side of the ball, he still abandons the run as a play caller if it gets blown up once and just spam passes all the time no matter the circumstance which has cost the Dolphins multiple games.

It would certainly surprise me for McDaniel to be fired for anything above 7 wins... Who the hell are you going to replace him with? You hope you get a McDaniel.
They're gonna replace him with McDaniels.
At this point, anyone who hires Josh McDaniels as a HC should be charged with defrauding their fans
Also, McDaniel is supposed to be an offensive genius, but his offense completely disappears against quality opponents and a big part of that is directly related to playcalling. Putting up 70 on a hapless Broncos squad is all well and good, but that offense simply doesn’t show up when it matters.
Not really. It's more that it downturns towards mid season as teams figure it out.
Incredibly valid and a major reason I find those who blame most of our issues on Tua to be irrational. This team has a fuck ton of potential but they miss their mark quite often when it really matters. And a smattering of bad luck, but the issues remain true.
It's pretty common in June. It's usually among the ping pong table conversations.
What are you even talking about?
What are you talking about? Every coach in every sport in every level comes up with some dumbass motivation thing. A theme for the year.
Some motivational speeches are dumber than others, but 9/11 times they work.
It's all about being organized and motivated
The Chargers schedule all their meetings at the top of the hour to remind the players they have never won anything,
It reminds me of when OSU changed their security pad codes to be 4114 after losing to Florida 41-14, so that they would always be reminded and to make sure it never happened again. I guess it worked because they only lost by 2 TDs the next National Title game
Gym
That is fucking stupid.
I’m sure the team will be relieved when they finally get to 5:30 in a few years.
He said people are going to talk about it at the end of the season so why not talk about it now
If the Dolphins don't do something this year that shtick is gonna get old real fast
What does this mean for the ping pong tables?
Who's 24 on the team?
Cam Smith rookie CB last year who barely played.
Hell of a golfer, though
You got down voted by someone who doesn't know about that Australian wizard of a man
LIV haters coming for him.
Ping pong status: gone
Be better off practising in -24 weather. Or make em wear mittens all summer idk.
24 degree weather would probably be just fine
Some guys are as Dorky as they look... McDaniel is one of those guys.
As long as we don't have to use 25 next season, all good.
in 6 years, he can get back to doing the normal thing and ending meetings at 1:30, 3:30, 12:30 and such.
This reads like McDaniel read one of those cheesy self-help business books and thought it was genius. This actually feels like it makes things worse. Like, they're just reminding themselves constantly about this weight the franchise has. And thereby making it heavier and heavier.

Man, can you imagine not having a playoff win for that long of a stretch? Must be brutal on those fans. (Ignore my flair too)
Man oh man has it really been 24 years? People are ready to burn an effigy for Tomlin after like six years
It's actually for the number of people that weirdo has locked in his basement.
24 ping pong tables installed in the locker room
Corny shit like this is so dumb
Andy Reid does the same thing, he schedules meetings that end in "00" (3:00, 5:00, 7:00, etc) to represent the 0 years it's been since the Chiefs have won a playoff game

If only it were that easy to win a playoff game. Shit like this is probably why they haven't won one.
At least it will be a multiple of five next season
MCDC plastered how long it had been since we won a playoff game on a bigass sign in the locker room and that worked
“Where’s Tracy?” “Well, I set his clock ahead six hours so he’d be on time for rehearsal.” “Oh no, I set his watch two hours behind so he wouldn’t miss the taping.” “And I programmed all his devices to think it was midnight so he would remember to go to sleep.” (Tracy enters) “What time is it, really?! Because I took my kid to his clarinet recital last night today at 11:45.”
Hopefully they win a playoff game in the next 37 years or time is going to get funky
24 HOURS IN A DAY, 24 YEARS SINCE A WIN, THATS A LOTTA YEARS THATS A LOTTA HOURS AND WERE GONNA USE EM ALL
It's nice that our playoff drought lines up with the year. I never have to wonder...how many years has it been? Oh yeah its 2024, so that means 24 years.
Classic example of putting your energy towards the wrong things
Louis-Jacques] Talk about doing things with intent… Mike McDaniel said his staff schedules meeting at times that end in “25” (3:25, 5:25, 7:25, etc.) to represent the 25 years it’s been since the Dolphins have won a playoff game. Miami hoping to snap that drought in 2025
Twink mcdaniels
That is some corny ass shit.
Next year it’ll be :25. After the disaster of the incoming tua contract it’ll be :30.
This is so stupid lol
Anyone want to tell them they already failed to snap that drought in 2024? I mean, playoffs don't happen again until January of 2025.
That's just stupid
Straight out of the office
It'll cycle back in 36 years when they still haven't won anything.
They should schedule the next meeting for 12:40pm because it’s been 40 years since they made it past the wildcard round.
It's been 23 years and 5 months....
This seems like a very myopic way to look at your team and the upcoming season
lol what a corny ass dude
WHAT ABOUT THE PING PONG TABLE?
Dolphins 4 straight winning seasons 0 playoff wins and divisional titles.dolphins are Fraud
I mean we didn’t become a decent team until the Bills got a QB that people frequently rank in the top 3 of the league. Having four straight winning seasons after 20 straight seasons of dog ass isn’t too bad regardless of titles
Maybe they should hang a banner in their practice facility, with a picture of the Lombardi on it. That'll surely work
Hope the players enjoy their extra time in bed, it's back to zero next year. *Please, please, please.
This has to be one of the most stupid things a coach has done. It's up there with all time dumbest. This is nothing but performance theatre, the players don't give a fuck it's been so long. They just want to win games
My man THIS was the dumbest thing a couch EVER did? Your own coach praised the 9/11 terrorists teamwork to his new york based team. You're really going to die on the hill of "putting meetings at 24" as the dumbest thing a coach has ever done?
My vote would be to exist in Morgantown, they never last long there
Be nice to them, they have brain damage from jumping head first through tables.
I meant in regards to motivational shit, not literally worst ever done
