“You wanna split a salad?”
“No I don’t” 😂😂 Best response to that question… YOU DON’T MAKE FRIENDS WITH SALAD 🎶
You don't win friends with salad. Sorry, I'm not taking sides. I just got caught up in the rhythm.
Salad doesn't help you lose weight
I loved watching Fitz play. No matter which team he was on, I knew he was going to sling it, but the style and that "Fitz" Look is missed. Nobody did it like Fitz. Whit's one of the best to ever do it. To see two greats at their positions team up and hear you guys talk about the game and stories, without the "Stephen A Smith's" always trying to chime in with their b.s. false narratives is refreshing. Lifelong subscriber here. Thanks guys.
Good lord some of you guys give Fitz way too much credit.
Come on fitz isnt an all time great unless were talking back up qb
Fitz - "I don't wanna be fat, can you help me? I don't wanna weigh in, don't wanna eat salad, and don't wanna work out, though."
LOL
As a now retired fighter who used to constantly cut ridiculous amounts of weight from age 18-32, that is the dumbest shit for football players to cut weight like a fighter in the middle of the season.
As a Bucs fan I think Fitz should, nay MUST, be in the ring of honor. He was a shining light in some of the darkest times.
The chest hair is mine
Fuck no
I am a Bucs fan. Stumbled across your site because you had Bucs Mike Evans chat yesterday. I liked your show. Back today. Found it interesting and now I subscribed.
Fitzmagic, Fins legend & Tua's mentor. Love him 🐬
Brian Flores is Tuas real mentor
@ Coach Flo is Tua’s villain origin story
Phins fan here, met Fitz this summer in Arizona (at a chick-fil-a of all places) and he was super nice and offered to take a picture together
Mad respect to them both!
Apologize to coach flo and bring him back
Fun fact: Brian Flores was a defensive assistant for New England when the bills beat the pats back in 2011. The game where Tom didn’t shake Fitz’s hand
--- and . . . ?
Where’s the “fun” part?
@@TL2354😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dying
What the hell does that have to do with anything. Weird flex
Flores wasn't TRYING to be an a-hole, he WAS.
Had no idea! Very interesting
I really appreciate the effort Ryan put in when he came to the Fins
Loving this podcast, can’t wait to see more videos
I am all in on 10,000 step Thursdays!
I’m 6’4 and big framed. When I was in the army, 219 was my required weight but I was never lighter than 245. I could run a 12:30 2 mile. Never understood why that didn’t exempt me from the tape test
Whit is the goat, glad im found this channel
I see so much of myself in Fitz for this interview. It’s unreal. Leave us alone. We are good with our weight lol
Weigh ins for professional sports have killed some people
You guys have great podcast chemistry!
Maintaining a healthy weight to perform optimally seems like the bare minimum someone who gets paid 7-8 figures annually to play a sport should expect in order to avoid a fine that’s 1/100000 of their salary.
Forreal the barest of minimums
The "Amish Rifle" was such a positive addition to so many teams in the league. Loved his time with the Bills as the "Non-Athlete Athlete That Could."
Whit is too serious he needs to laugh a little 😂
I love the honesty. 😆
Cutting weight is so dumb. Are they hydrated? Is there cardio good? Why the hell would you implement something that causes guys to cut weight. That is so detrimental to their overall health and performance. Anyone who has cut weight knows this is insane for Football players to be doing. Don't pretend coach doesn't know the methods they are taking to make weight.
And you wonder why players cramp up on game day and need a IV.
Love both you guys!
I like Flores more & more:) SKOL Vikes!
I hope Flores coaches the Vikes 4 ever . He's learned a lot and has the "Balls" to sue the NFL:) Fitz' was a "Fat Ass" and last time I checked has never coached.
As a Vik fan, I'm happy because who would want to hire this dude as a HC now . . . with all this VITRIOL from numerous players about how bad this cat was!
#YIKES
Good DC. Terrible HC.
@@danhall76 Maybe. Which new coach needy team do you think Flores would fit best? Not saying due to "suing" the NFL teams won't entertain his possibility. There is a "code" amongst most owners. I truly hope he stays in Minny:)
Just a conditioning test is better than weigh in.
I’m down for 10k steps Thursday!
Weigh ins don't make sense for NFL players. It's a performance based business, every player has at to find the weight that allows them to perform their job at the highest level.
Exhibit A why Flores is not HC material. All those former Belichek coaches got lil man syndrome.
Belichick
Good content fellas
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Ryan’s Hair and Beard…Thank you
Had no idea NFL teams had weigh ins.....
Fitz looking more and more like Teen Wolf 🐺 these days
Great show
Same way Fitzy! Im a XL shirt no matter what hhahahahaha if its tight its tight
Are these coaches idiots? You've just drained out your players energy to make a stupid arbitrary weight number smh
It's the opposite of arbitrary
I agree, look at how shitty the MMA fighters look when they’re cutting weight. I know it’s a bit more extreme in MMA but still draining them.
People stop complaining, player just need to take care of the bodies (eat right ) sleep and stay in shape
It's a requirement set for the optimal performance depending on a position you play. Dude, if you were 40 years old in NFL, you should have known. They are Not paying you $$$$$ to be overweight. The coach was doing his job.
@@wuztron asking Fitz to hit 229 at 40 years old is pretty arbitrary. He isn’t Lamar 😂
Fitz, Thank you for one of the most magical season I have ever seen. I am or was a Miami Dolphins fan I am not sure I am anymore. Its been 25 years without a playuoff win. There should be a statue of you in front of Hard rock stadium for the most spectacluar season I have ever seen. You put a smile on my face as you took a bunch of kids (and inspired them with smiles on their faces) to a dream season. THANK YOU George. I was in Miami in 1972 for the Perfect Season.
A statue for a mediocre season, COME ON!
small world - Boss Man is my Chapter Bruh (fraternity brother at the same school - University of Arkansas) and I just sent this vid to our group chat.
Wieght in ! ???? WTF
Im a sports nutritionist and my mind was blown by how RIDICULOUS those weight in are omg! It increases the risk of injury SO MUCH having players loosing all that water weight in saunas. SMH 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Plus the fatigue/stress it puts on the body and the brain DECREASE so much your physical and mental performance before during and after a game... I just cant believe they do this on NFL teams 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Learn to spell before you try to convince us you're all that.
@@thehaughtcorner his main point isn't wrong though.
I'll throw this out there: Once you stop living the workout/pro-athlete/soldier/whatever-else-is-physically-demanding lifestyle you have to 'reset' your calorie intake habits at least a bit. For me, it was breakfast on the chopping block.
Once I left the military, I still ate a working man's breakfast because I was used to burning 500 calories before breakfast even starts. Obviously, the 10-15 lbs I put on right after I got out showed how flawed that plan was. Now, I fast. It took about 3 months to get used to it, but I don't eat after 11PM (usually earlier than that, really) or before 11AM now - coffee and a small amount of fats only. Between that and cutting down on the booze calories, I dropped back down to me 'entry weight' (what I weighed when I joined the Army at 20. I have a set of the camo pants issued to me in 2002 that I still use to do yard work), and have maintained that pretty easily. Plus, I like to cook, and we eat pretty healthy dinners, etc. which helps maintain.
Zzzzz
Not only that but i am sure as sh!t not getting up at 530 or 6am anymore to work out and noticed when i got out how much better my body repsonded to PT in the evenings instead of early morning.
But yeah like you said, theres deff an adjustment period.
Dude you get paid to be an athlete. Check your weight as a qb. This does not make Flores a bad person
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best quarterback I’ve seen wear a Miami Dolphins jersey since Dan Marino.
We know that you are a fins casual so...
Gonna be an early adopter to this YT channel broskis
Fitz is the best awesome dude
If they do weigh, just a question do they still do them or how did Becton McKhi Beckton get to over 400 pounds with jets if they do weigh in all the time?
I’d understand needing to weigh these lineman bc if you’re 295 gaining 5lbs a week could go unnoticed until it’s too late in the season. But you’re 230 you’re not gaining more than 10lbs without seeing a difference.
Harvard loves the hotdogs
Fitz is gonna have to make some small changes to get there.
Try having the responsibilities of a starting NFL QB while ALSO managing your weight... a journeyman QB, at that, who never has the full backing of a franchise.
Y'all struggling to manage your weight while working a warehouse job.
You have to weigh at the same time every day. Only way to stay accountable.
Fitz is a full blown leprechaun these days
10k Thursday? I’m 20+ years older, 24,300 yesterday….avg for year is 13,000 + per day
Lol Fitz just needs to find a few veggies he can f- with, like green beans with some exceptional olive oil like Mas des Bories and a *little* Parmigiano/Grana on top... Or crispy baked kale with roasted garlic, like that. Once you find a few it gets easier because, like fruit, veggies are SO much less calorie-dense.
You two need to reach out to Diamond Dallas Page & DDPY. I need to see you two on yoga mats!!!
I wish I could be friends with these guys.
Brian being an A-hole seems to be consistent story with him.
Poor mans McAfee and AQ
Love Fitz!
Because you hate Tua. YOU'RE SO DELUSIONAL
@@iafigueroa91 It's Tuanon that's delusional
A retired lineman pushing salads on a retired QB!
Fitzpatrick doing everything to shed his Harvard preppy persona .
Holy shit he did lead the dolphins in rushing in 2019. Woof
Dolphins got better ubder Flores as time went down. Holding players and coaches unacceptable is inportant. Otherwise, you get situations like Tyreek Hill refusing to enter games
Absolutely no food or drink (except for water) after 7pm...plus no second helpings on protein and carbs.
Protein doesn't put on bad weight
@@AN-hv1vm Excess calories. He's trying to maintain or lose weight. So right sizing portions on the 1st and only helping is important. No seconds means no guilt.
7pm means less than nothing. you might as well say 3pm or 1am. everyone wakes up and goes to bed at different times. 7pm has absolutely zero significance.
protein is good for you and fills you up.
Easy to sit back and criticize when you haven’t tried it. Here’s my suggestion: try it for two weeks and follow what I listed exactly. Nothing after 7pm except for water…means no alcohol after 7pm too. Good luck.
@@charlesrhoades3106 again with the 7pm nonsense. it means absolutely nothing.
So you guys are golfing on Thursdays now? 😂
Exactly! “Oh man, I guess we _have_ to go play 18 holes again…” 😂
I mean it is a bit petty to be fined over .8 more, but also, Fitz just comes off as lazy. You are getting paid millions of dollars, you can get under your fine weight limit. And if you cant, why still try to play?
Fitzpatrick looks about 240. But he still looks pretty good!
Love the top Ryan 🫡 🇮🇪 #Dublin #stpats
Much Respect Fitz!
Fitz. Look, you've got a solid 20lbs. of hair on your head. Just shave and bang, weight loss.
Trade the salad and white wine for a fatty Rib-eye and mineral water.
Anyone from the Belichick coaching tree were terrible head coaches
NFL weigh ins sound like army weigh and tape days minus the bribes. The heavy dudes slather preparation h on their waist and stomach then wrap Saran Wrap to shrink their waist to make tape. Do neck exercises to puff it up. Hitting the sauna or going and running miles in full PT gear till you make weight. Fun times.
You’re a pro qb, you can handle 228
"No, i don't want to live like that." RTFO
Fitz, time to change the hair.
Fitz, you deserved the fine. 229.8 is over 229.0 pounds. You said it isn't. is that some kind of harvard math education? lol
Not another athlete podcast
Brian Florence will be a head coach just look at some of the jokers that have been hired. Adam gase,chip,les steckler...Flo would be a better choice than these guy...there are more that Brian is a better candidate....but I love him in minnesota
Weigh in is some serious shit in EVERY sport that has weight targets/brackets. We used to puke, poop, spit, wear plastic wraps to make us sweat all to get that .5 lb's off and make weight. Serious Serious shit.
Says a lot about Fitz lol
Flores might have been “trying to be an A-Hole”, but as a Vikings fan for over 50 years and no championships, I don’t mind at all if he is trying to be an A-Hole while coaching the Vikings. The Vikings most likely won’t win the championship, but he has single-handedly made the Vikings relevant!
Enjoy it while it last because for every season I can remember there is Flo hype the first half of every season until he runs out of creative blitz combos and he gets solved.
@@BettingNetworkyeah look at the dolphins now, fucking soft as shit
Flores is your CLASSIC Belichick "disciple". Meaningless targets to send messages get you fired and forgotten... Whatever team next hires him will regret it.
I think Minnesota is pretty happy with the hire. 😮
Hey journeyman, stop knocking Hurts!
Ryan Fitzpatrick quit the Washington Commanders. I lost all respect for him.
😂😂 F the 1000 steps first thing he need to do is stop eating a bunch BS and get on scale at least once a week to what work for him smh he wants to lose weight but not put the work in guess he better get Ozempic 😂😂
Lol, go carnivore and your life becomes easier
How bromantic
No professionalism sit small
Great video and insight that Fans don’t hear about,I guess #90 Jordan Davis for the Eagles just kept getting Fined last year!!
Brian Floes is a terrible head coach and a terrible human...
He should be the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator for the next 10 years... yeah, that's the ticket.
He's a terrible HC with a 500 record?
Nathaniel Hackett is a terrible HC, Flores is simply an ass hole
oh well life isn't fair you want fair? my hometown has a county fair
every spring..cotton candy, popcorn the whole 9.
Ryan was a trash player always was , coach Brian a real coach
I love Fitzy, but he may as well have dropped his weight to 225 or 220 to avoid the fines. Sometimes, it’s best to be 5-10 pounds underweight so the fines and sauna trips can decrease.
Ryan it’s called accountability! This story explains why you never won shit in the league. I wouldn’t shake your handy either if I was TB12.
“You saw my shirt my buttons”
This podcast is a 0
From what I've seen This guy Fitzpatrick is a big baby and is always crying about something. I think Brady knew about that that's why he didn't shake his hand, he'd heard too many stories of this guy being such a jerk.
Really? What a stretch. Shake the man’s hand after a game
Bitching about not making weight as a professional athlete is crazy, especially when you can eat most meals at the facility.
Called being HUMAN. you are complaining about them complaining .. 🤔
I mean I get it, weigh ins suck lol.
Irony
You've never competed in your life
Bitching about players weight in a sport that DON'T HAVE WEIGHT CLASSES and it's what's REALLY CRAZY! 🤡🤡
And about having meals at the facility: FOOD ISN'T FOR FREE IN ALMOST EVERY NFL TEAM!
Plus no nutritional plan for the players makes it even worst! They have food but it's FAAAAR AWAY from being HEALTHY FOOD!
What a tool. Can't make 229? Seriously?
