[clears throat]
Omar KellyPANELIST
... tough, smart, discipline.
Omar KellyPANELIST

Every head coach wants that, and that's what Tony Sparano's team personified.

Arif HasanGUEST
You gotta win out in the rest of them." In fact, I believe on Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr's pod- podcast, they talked about this, uh, the 2016 season, where, uh, Tony Sparano, you know, God rest his soul, uh, you know, put them all in a room and put together a PowerPoint about how you could miss the playoffs, which was haunting them for the rest of the season.

Um, and so, you know, like, that's a pretty superficial comparison.
Arif HasanGUEST
Like, oh, you won a lot of games? Great, let's compare you to a bad team that won a lot of games.
