This profession is interesting in that, you know, you, I got basically got fired yesterday and then my day of work today consisted of me in Zoom meetings listening to the guy that fired me and then, you know, locked in a spaced out room, you know, with my replacement for four hours today.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, apparently not happy with the decision made by the Miami Dolphins

to put him on the bench in favor of the fifth overall pick and the draft.

The show's PFT Live.

Hello to our peacock audience.

Anyone and everyone listening on Sirius XM211 or watching the rear on NBCSN, which begins at 9

Eastern, or enjoying the program on Sky Sports NFL, UK and Ireland, or listening to the podcast.

He's Chris Sims. I'm Mike Floria. We're here with our Thursday show, which gets you

ready for the Thursday night game, which leads up to our Megapix podcast later today. But

first order of business, hey, look, I love Ryan Fitzpatrick, but this isn't some unique

indignity that's been visited upon him. Guys get benched all the time. And when he says he got fired, dude, you're still getting paid. Yeah. No, that's not fired. You're right. That's not fired.

$470,000. Yeah, we should all be so fired, Chris.

Yes, exactly. You know, I mean, first off, hey, I understand he's disappointed. We talked about it yesterday.

He's been playing some pretty good football. You know, there's been no pressure on the team because there's no expectations.

I'm sure he's loving it and all the aspects of it and probably

feels like, hey, we're we're kind of building something. We're three and three. Here we go.

We've played pretty good. You know, so I think that probably excited him, his family. I'm sure.

It's a tough pill to swallow. There's no doubt about it. But he had to have known that, you know, there at some point during this year,
