There it is, the greatest intro in all of Miami Dolphins podcasting. You are watching Fish Tank Live, presented by Van Horn Law Group and Casabella Design Group. I am Seth Levin. I'm live here at the Casabella Design Group Studios. And typically, I would be joined by the man with the best hands in the podcast business. But we don't know where OJ McDuffie is. We're sending a surge party out for him.

0:39.7

Jeff Darlington in the house from ESPN. And Jeff, when you show up, you never know what might happen. That's right. You might want to check the local jail. No, J. It didn't get. Quite a reputation. Quite a reputation. That's nothing. Yeah. Nothing against O.J. McDuff. Unfortunately for OJ, it's not his reputation that we're talking about. Right.

0:41.1

Right. Nothing, yeah. Nothing against O.J. McDonohy. Fortunately for O.J. It's not his reputation that we're talking about.

0:42.0

You want to be clear about that one.

0:44.8

That's exactly right. And of course, we've got the legendary Savak, our great producer here,

and Chris Perkins is in the house on another slow Miami Dolphins off season. So excited to talk about a lot of things. Biggest news of the day, I think, is that Joaquin Grant announced his retirement. I can't. We love Jakeem. I can't remember the last time Jakeem played in an NFL game, but he is officially retired. So just make sure we discuss that. Jeff, I don't know if you have any breaking news as it relates to that. Sure don't, Seth. Sure don't. Too good. Maybe three years ago.

1:20.9

Yeah, yeah. Great time. Wikipedia page. No, I'll do respect on it. Yeah, I love you, there's a great guest on the show and everything else.

1:29.3

It is a good player.

1:31.3

All kidding aside, there is a lot to talk about here with our Miami Dolphins.

1:36.3

One way or another, they find a way to be one of the bright, shiny objects in free agency or pre-free agency or whatever you want, legal tampering or all the

1:47.6

different things that we talk about in the National Football League. And I want to get in all that

1:51.3

stuff. And I know we've got only a little bit of your time tonight, Jeff. But I have to ask you

1:55.9

first and foremost what it was like for you and Chris Perkins to be on the same Miami Dolphins beat.

2:03.3

I need to know about that crossover because it had to be legendary.

2:07.8

It was brief, but it was a bright light because it was after years of just competitive

2:15.5

like people just crushing each other's souls.

2:20.1

And then you had Perk come in and all of a sudden it was like, you know, who can hate Perk?

2:26.1

You know, right?

2:27.5

Light up the room.

2:29.6

And it made things a lot more amicable in the room.

2:33.6
