The Miami Dolphins recently defeated the Dallas Cowboys in their greatest victory of the year. Although a lot of people think highly of the Dolphins as a team, one observer expressed the opinion that the squad still doesn’t deserve to be considered a title contender. Tyreek Hill attacked the analyst because he did not appreciate what he had to say about his choices on X.
Colin Cowherd, the analyst, expressed his opinion that the Dolphins are not a frightening team just yet and that they must show him otherwise. According to Cowherd, the victory was insufficient justification for the Dolphins to suddenly be respected.
“It’s not my job to give you respect, it’s my job to be honest”
Colin notes that although he did give them credit for being a very good team this year, they still haven’t accomplished anything in 23 years. This is the first time they have defeated a club this season that had a winning record. Despite having players all over the place and being a very good team, he believes they should just win a playoff game and not advance farther.
Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins responds to Colin Cowherd
Tyreek Hill turned to X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to Cowherd’s remarks, criticizing him for not treating Hill fairly. Tyreek has been having one of the best receiving seasons in receiver history, if not history. They meet the Baltimore Ravens this week in what should be the championship game for the top seed in the AFC, where they are now ranked behind them.
Cowherd’s observations still hold true even if Miami has been playing fantastic ball and does have a unique offense and physically gifted defense. Colin is correct when he suggests that we should wait to show Miami significant respect until after they have won a few playoff games. The NFL is a “what have you done for me lately” league, and Miami hasn’t participated in a second round playoff game in a long time.
Tyreek called Coin out saying:
“What sport has thug played again.”
It’s likely the first time in his broadcasting career that he has heard someone refer to Cowherd as a thug. Hill didn’t say anything particularly radical, so I don’t think his remarks are fair to the veteran media member, but they do emphasize Miami’s desire to be taken seriously as a contender.
In a response to Hill’s remarks today, Colin expressed his feelings and provided his perspective. After sarcastically stating that it stings that Tyreek called him a thug, Colin stuck to his position that Miami hasn’t accomplished anything noteworthy thus far and doesn’t deserve any honor for defeating their first.500 club.
He reiterates that the Dolphins have only won one playoff game in the previous 23 years and that they must succeed in the playoffs if they are to earn the genuine respect of the NFL community.
