take a quarterback team up
and say, would they beat up
in a barroom fight that other coach in that other
quarterback? We did our seatings. The homies voted on
the internet Dolphins. Twitter, voted on the internet. So we
did all that, but
we want to get
some outside analysis of what we did, too.
And who better to do that than WWE? Brawler, Superstar,
brawler, Angelo Dawkins, Pete. Do we have Angelo on the phone
with us. Here
we do.
Hello, what's up, man?
How you doing? Big guy
outdoor. Great, man. Thanks for having me on the show this
crazy
man. We're glad to have you. We need an expert here and you
know, I always liked anybody who can criticize my co-host
here. I'm at for read, Y, and then he can't say anything back
to you, because
No. You we know you'll whup his butt. That is true. It's
the perfect combination
Angelo. How big are you?
I'm 65 to 75 and tell me your football like background or
Sports background growing up and kind of what you did.
I played football at Harper College.
Also wrestled, there and I played, I ran track as well.
I threw, I didn't run.
Well, yeah, I won national championships in all three
Sports. Oh wow. It's impressive. What position did
you play
on the football team,
right? Tackle, you're right tackle. Okay, right tackle. All
right. You're a little more cut up and like athletic looking
than the most right tackle. I just want to let her know, you
know, usually a little something a
little bit bigger. Yeah. What were you waiting on College?
What are you weighing in college
in college? I was actually
to 85 to 90. Yeah, alright. Alright so you cut some of that
baby weight off to look good in your your wrestling outfits and
show all your
your pecs and your curls for the girls and your tries and
all that. Hey, I tried man, I try so here. So here's the deal
you may or may not know this Angelo is your a Bengals fan.
Correct. Your Cincinnati Bengals fan, huge fan. And so
Last year when I've done this two years in a row now and
the biggest mistake I made two years ago,
was putting Zach, Taylor and Joe Borough dead last in my
rankings. I basically said that everyone would beat yes,
the eyebrow raised from Angelo,
do I rectified that this year and I moved him up to 13th,
Christian and Pete. Do we
do, we have our rankings? Can we show that to Angela? So,
here were my, here were my seedings and so, again,
the premise is that you take this coach and quarterback and you
think they can beat up
the The other coach and quarterback. My number one seed
was Ryan Tannehill with Mike Vrabel basically all because of
Vrabel there,
Josh Allen and Sean McDermott. Number two, I love my guy Dan
Campbell. I think he could bite kneecaps of pretty much every
quarterback coach combination out there.
But Angelo looking at this list. What jumps out at you. Do
you think I got it right? You think I got it wrong?
I'ma need you to move the Bengals up a little bit. All
right.
13 is a little too low. I need them at number one, you know.
Yeah.
You think that I mean, Joe burrow is tough, but have you
seen Mike Vrabel?
Oh yeah, I know a look,
I love Ohio State so I'm a big fan of Mike Brave. Well, you
know, I mean, hey, we're going to be there this Saturday at
SummerSlam, but
now I mean, I see how big my Brave Wizards, and I know about
McDermott's his, a wrestling background. So let's I still
put them up there in front in front of both of them.
You would put you but the Bangles in front of both of
them. That's who you're saying. Both of them.
He's not We might have a biased opinion here. It's merely
a problem here. But all right, so wait so often just the top of
your head or just just just or what you've seen
from the list, right? And what you know of Coach quarterback,
take the Bangles out of the conversation. If you knew about
this little exercise right off the bat, who would have been
that? That one that you would have thought is one or two
right off the bat. You agree. With Ahmed there and his
and his and his is next group of guys. As far as Tannehill,
Vrabel Alan McDermott, or is there somebody else that jumps
out to you?
I'm going. Our make Durbin and
McDermott and
we'll go Shanahan and land. Oh,
I like it.
Yeah, that's my boy, Kyle Shannon. Yeah, he's got some
fight in him. He's got some feistiness in them. He ain't
going to be scared and Lance, Lance is big and physical to.
So, all right,
he's coming in with a different one there. I like they got some
love. Give love number 9. So we have to let you know this too
Angela. So we let the
the audience, the homies as we call them and some of them were
not At home. He's, they were just Dolphins, Twitter, vote
on. Who would win these matchups. So he put them
head-to-head in a bracket situation. And I had
I had to and Mike me, their new coach, Mike McDaniel seated as
32nd dead last. So they got the borough, Zack, Taylor treatment
of
2020.
The year before
we went through the voting
Dolphins, Twitter showed up and to uh and McDaniel ended up
winning the superbrawl
contest.
Your thoughts on that.
They are there they are. Look at there they are. I mean not
doesn't mean you know again
I'm one of those guys Angelo that go like, you know, hey
this was fun. This is a great exercise. We had a lot of fun
with it but there's no way they could whup some of these coach
quarterback conversations. I'm right to was one of
the smaller, quarterbacks Mike, McDaniels like
59 160 pounds.
Hey, look, I think Miami is gonna be pretty good next year,
but, yeah, that's, that's a
Then you have them beaten.
Yeah, I want Taylor the final four, but it wasn't him though.
It was, it was that it was the Twitter mob. Ya Doin on
Twitter, my children
on the Dolphins Twitter they took over and hijack the whole
process, right? It was actually a pretty good rankings until
then and then that made things. Look real weird. Yeah, wow,
yeah. So, but just real just note though, be careful that if
you ever say anything bad about the Dolphins, their Twitter mob
will come attack you.
So just know that Angelo
just You know that they are out there yet already got a bunch
of mobs attacking
another one, right? Add another one. Alright, well we asked
them know who's going to be who he thought would be at the top
of his list. He said the land Shanahan and McDermott Allen.
Yes. Right. I mean obviously he's with you into and McDaniel
should be
at the bottom. Anybody else jump at you at that you'd go.
Yeah I have them at the bottom to that maybe Ahmad miss or
somebody that he might have
a child. Highly ranked. Yeah. Like something even worse. Yeah,
worker. Yeah. Who do you want to put
Glasses, being a wimpy coach and quarterback. I like that
idea. Yeah, so we can we get can we get that list back?
Yeah, we'll get it back up for you so you can see, hold on.
We're going to get that list back up here because I think
you were too nice. There are a few out here.
We can we can find them for sure. There are some. Yeah,
there there are some smaller coach. So here's the complete
list there. So who may be a Mite too high on
I have to go Jackson, Harborough
Lamar, I think Lamar would hold his own Harbaugh is one of
the older head coach think they're too hot. You think that's too
high for them right there. You're not feeling that one
fields and as much as I love just feels almost
Ohio, State guy, you know, I love Justin
Fields up there. True biscuit Tomlin
You like that huh? Yeah so you like them to be. You think
they're up at the of the top towards me? Those one's right
there.
Are you're saying they're there they should be lower. What are
you saying? They're looking lowered? Okay I'm with you
because I don't know about e breathless I mean feels they
have respect for him but I don't think he breathless is
going to win a lot of these coaches. Once
I push that I push back against I'm at on that one. If he
briefed loose was here right now. I might not be able to
pick him out of a lineup.
I'd have to
agree with you on that one. Alright well that hey and thank
you for not crushing that we had them. Is on here last year
and he crushed my list and he made me feel bad
and I thought about it for
weeks on end and it was
mrs. Always grumpy. He's a Browns fan. Yeah,
exactly, probably call.
Exactly right. I mean how? Yeah, I know, I know.
Well, he's probably got the same thing to say about you,
but you got something to say right now, you're the champ
seriously. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you brought up the Bangles
again here, too, because we did just do our top 5. Wide
receiver rankings. Chris did that the last time we were here
on Monday and I think that you'll like this list. So
Kristen and Pete, can we put this up here?
So Chris did his top five wide receivers currently
in the NFL. And number one, will see if you agree. He went
with Jamar Chase. What do you think?
That's, that's a lovely list, right there. Especially number one
thing number one
who know Jamar chase.
A dream are Chase.
No deaths. Yeah.
What was it, like watching him as a fan last year,
Maddie? Hey look, I thought he was gonna be good.
He exceeded the expectations, honestly.
Everybody was making a big deal about him, dropping all those
paths, right, freeskiers? I'm like, its preseason. Let's see,
what, like, if he's doing that in the season. Okay, but like
preseason, I get it like,
Trying to get warmed up for the season, people trying to make
the rosters and all that stuff so it's nothing to really worry
about and then he started bawling out. I'm like,
oh man, this this dude
that's dues rocking every night like
he was Unreal. The Kansas City game weeks. That's not
possible, Right?
Unreal. Like I was just like, wow
yeah who's good at LSU and all that stuff. And I'd like I knew
he was good. I was like, man, this dude, exceeded every
expectation. I thought that was going. To happen and he was man
him a year to is going to be a sight to see
the green. Yeah, you're in. Good hands there with burrow
and Chase. I don't think your Bangles are going anywhere
anytime soon. There's no doubt. It's a special combination way.
Another thing I just want to ask you about two because
I know you pay attention to football,
but like all right, you know, I know you got SummerSlam coming
up this weekend which is really cool and we'll talk about that.
But all right, if you could take one guy from the NFL to
kind of
A tag team partner
right one guy and get it. I don't care what position whoever
who's the guy that you think you're going to take into
the ring with you who you bringing in? Hmm,
man. I know tough hardening, I gotta think it's somebody on
defense right for the most part
I mean
definitely will be probably somebody owed defense. Somebody
that changed a whole game, a whole couple games if you will.
Yeah you know I mean look
Look
who they Nation. I'm sorry, I have to do it. I have to
recognize greatness with greatness lies, Aaron down.
I had a feeling you might go there. Yeah, I do. And like,
I know you guys, you look similar with your shirts off, I mean,
it just seems like it fit. Perfect. I mean it would be
great. Actually,
that'll be that'll be a fun one right there. Yeah I hear that
fun for you
everybody else
everybody else with great for me.
Well Angela, yeah, tell us about SummerSlam coming up
here,
SummerSlam this weekend.
Biggest party of the summer, watch it on peacock. We're
going to be in Nashville, Tennessee,
Nissan Stadium, where the Titans play.
I just want everybody to know
in Nashville. Don't hold it against me. You guys know? I'm
a Bengals fan,
nothing personal of it. That's probably why it's wrong in that
Stadium. The big was, shut those Lights off but hey
that's neither here nor there. That's not focus on the past.
Let's focus on Saturday as me and my brother
Montez for the street profits, take on the Usos. The for
the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships and when we win
we party
next time y'all see me, I'll mad two titles
over my show.
I like it. So he's basically saying he's going to go into
Nashville and upset the Titans. Like the Bangles did. That's
what he's saying. That Del he's that he's got somewhere to go
after that. I'm rooting for a friend of the Pod now,
the definitely definite friend
of the Pod. I mean, feel free to chime in and anything that's
physical. And anyway, as far as our pod is concerned, so you're
you're a friend of the podcast forever. Now
other thing, I just want to ask you real quick Angelo
like does your life. I lived in Nashville. I played on
the Titans, man. Summer is hot as s*** there. I don't care if
it's 8:00 and not or what
does that? Have you thought about like the heat there and
what its gonna be like, you know, on an outside outside
Arena, mmm? You know, I actually thought about it.
There was a lot of thinking going on involving that, but
then I realized
I live in Orlando. Florida.
Yeah, I step out at 6 a.m. in the morning and I'm already
dripping. Sweat. Yeah. But through two-a-days and five
minutes. Yeah
that's right. You're ready?
So yeah I've been I've been outside been outside here like
a lot like work. Out and doing all like just making sure I'm
outside as much as I can't. Like, can't be just. So I'm
like.
All right. Cool. Because
I mean everywhere I have their different like
elements and stuff like that. I got obviously and like their
ways of heat. But now thing anything matches or like
Florida heat, I'm with you here in Orlando is,
is nuts. I know Nashville gets hot, but I feel like
I want to be like, looking at
the 95 degree weather. There
is probably going to feel like a 78.
And cloudy. Yeah, when I'm there you have a winter jacket
on, you know, hoodie on or something like that. You know
who's going to be sweating, though? It's going to be
the Usos.
The Usos are going back. When big bring it Angelo SummerSlam.
It is WWE's biggest event of the summer, taking place
Saturday, July 30th, Nissan stadium in Nashville. The event
streams live at 8, p.m. Eastern exclusively
on peacock, Angelo's mmm,
Montez for the street profits taken on
the Usos and the WWE tag team.
And Chip, We are rooting for you. Bring back the belt here
in the Chris Simms unbuttoned. All right, Angela. All right,
thanks for having me on, man. This is, this is great. Now, we
appreciate it, man. Thanks a lot, seriously. Well, you'll
hear from us again, we're going to get you involved,
too. We're going to make Ahmed, a defensive line expert this
year on the podcast. Yeah. So we'll probably need to help
you, or call you to help him out
and hold his hand a little bit through some of this too.
Exactly. And maybe you could tell him how soon trick is
weighty. Baby, trenches way.
Yes. Trenches with ADI like that. All right, we got it. We
already branded it. All right big guy. You the man. Thanks so
much and good luck this weekend. Thank you for having
me. See, did Big Angelo Dawkins? WWE Superstar?
I like him way better than the missiles.
We could tell he liked, you better than the Miss. The Miz
just came out and wanted to bash me from the get-go. I like
you said, he's miserable. He's always miserable some dolphin
goodies, like Dolphins, Twitter to you. It's just like, they
say, no matter what you say is, like, they're going to not like
it. No, I know. You're right. I meant
of, I mean, he made a good
like I've done both Orlando and Nashville.
Uh-huh. Now I think he's under estimating Nashville a little
bit. I hope I heard that. You know, I it said it was so hot.
There it is hot there and you were in Tampa and I did
training camp in Orlando. So, you know, which was
just around the corner from Hell.
Let me just tell you like I was like, wait, how is just down
the street? But I stay here. Yeah, it's hot as hell there.
So he will be conditioned but I don't think it'll be any
different than Nashville.
Nashville, I found my training camps there to be
I don't know what it is
every bit as humid at least maybe not as searing hot sun
but every bit as humid so he's gonna have to deal with that.
That's for sure. What if he grabs the microphone? He's like
yeah it is hot here in Nashville. Chris Simms was
right.
Former taking quarterback. Whoo.
Whoo.
