Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome.

0:05.4

On this BA Day, December 16, 2025, this program begins right now.

0:13.6

Football!

0:14.9

Ladies and gentlemen, that voice and that cadence you just heard comes from one man, one legend, one icon, a guy who coach

0:21.0

football for 47 years, multiple times Super Bowl champion. Our coach, ladies and

0:25.0

gentlemen, Coach B.A. is here.

0:26.8

Hey, B.A. You look incredibly cool today. Obviously, the Cango hat always clean. That

0:32.3

particular hoodie alongside your skin type just is popping on this glorious B.A. Day and

0:37.4

there's a lot to talk about the toxic tables here. At Boston Connor and that Ty Schmidt, nine-year NFL event, men who loves rocking blue jeans on BA Day. There is J. Butler. Good to see you, Blue Jean, buds. Great to see you, too, man. We've never seen Dee Butt in blue jeans today. He's wearing blue jeans today. and it a blue-gene type of day because I'll tell you what, it is magnificent to be a football fan. And last night, the Pittsburgh Steelers dogwalk the same cold dolphins. Now, the dogfins has been on a four-game win streak. Maybe this is it. A-Tor pound in Rock. A. Chan's the guy. Mike McDaniel has a team ready to roll. This could be the year where they're able to battle the elements and be a football team whenever football matters. Robert Morris University and Moon Township outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, allowed the Miami Dolphins to come up and practice on their field in the snow, get acclimated to the weather.

1:29.2

Was this going to be a different night for this dolphins team that any time they went north of the

1:33.6

Mason-Dixon or below 40 degrees in any type of American temperature is fair of the

1:39.8

Fahrenheit?

1:41.5

Yep.

1:42.2

Their Celsius up north and over there.

1:44.5

We're talking Fahrenheit here in America. They would get their asses beat. Could this be a different? Nope. They got their asses beat yet again. This is a sad state of affairs if you're a Miami Dolphins fan because I'll tell you what, we have one amongst us here. Now, obviously, Darrys Jay Butler grew up in South Florida, so he likes the dolphins, but he also likes five other teams that are much more successful than the dolphins.

2:03.9

So I have nothing but respect for that. But there is one man from North-Left Canada who uses Celsius, and now he's trying to learn Fahrenheit, who has been a Dolphins fan through and through since the day that I met him. This four-game win streak is like, it's not just about two of player mode's about our offense line we are ready for it we are ready for the conditions we are ready for

2:21.0

meaningful football This four-game win streak is like, it's not just about two of play. Well, it's about our offensive line. We are ready for it.

2:18.4

We are ready for the conditions. We are ready for meaningful football. This team is different than what it's been in the past. Don't look now. We're lurking lad. We're lurking lad. Well, they go into cold-ass Pittsburgh, and they get their asses beat by a Pittsburgh Steelers team that obviously

2:34.8

hadn't been the best in the league, but

2:36.7

last night showed maybe they can be a team that can go on a run. They get their first win without T.J. Watt. Obviously, he has a freak incident during dry needling last week that has him missed the game. The record for the Steelers with T.J. Watt and without T.J. Watt,

2:51.6

very, very different. With T.J. Watt, they win games. Without T.J. Watt, they literally don't win games. Two of them, though, they don't win whenever it's cold. Something had to give. Well, Steelers get a win without T.J. Watt. He's only going to come back and assist this defense that was all over the place. Jalen Ramsey gets a little get back. John

3:07.1

Smith scores a touchdown and goes absolutely crazy. It feels like the Dolphins pieces that moved away from Miami certainly wanted to showcase last night that they're thankful for that. The Pittsburgh Steelers said, we are a real team. All you got to do is get hot at the right time, baby. Aaron Rogers is spinning it. D.K. Metcalf's out of control, and they're running the rock better than I think people would have expected, and why not Friermouth and Darnel Mount Washington becoming a great tight-end combo? Now, on the flip side, the Miami Dolphins fans have to live in the misery that their team stinks. And I don't want to say they got their hopes up and maybe they worked themselves into a shoot and maybe it was fools gold for the last few weeks but boy as soon as that temperature dropped especially in the
