Tyreek Hill Begs The Dolphins To Bring in Some "Motherfucking Dawgs"
It wasn’t too long ago that Tyreek Hill appeared to throw in the towel on the Miami Dolphins after their loss to the New York Jets. At the time, his attitude reminder me of an entitled little bitch. Of course, his change of heart may have something to do with that $30 million-a-year contract—money has a funny way of keeping people loyal. But regardless of his motivations, the fact remains: Tyreek Hill is right about this team.
I’ll admit, after his Week 18 press conference, was fucking pathetic. Honestly, in the heat of that moment, I wanted him gone. Emotions were high, and he’s clearly not used to losing. That’s not an excuse, but it’s understandable. Losing is a foreign concept to a guy like Tyreek Hill. For me, though? Losing is second nature. It’s all I’ve known as a Dolphins fan. I expect it every single year. It’s ingrained in our identity as fans, as painful as that is to admit.
But in retrospect, Tyreek wasn’t entirely wrong. If anything, he said what most Dolphins fans have been thinking for decades: this team needs some motherfucking dawgs. For far too long, the Miami Dolphins have been the fake bully of the league. We love to puff out our chests, and dominate weaker opponents. But the moment we face a team of equal or greater strength, we fold like a cheap tent. It’s exhausting. It’s pathetic. Most of all, it’s downright embarrassing.
Tyreek Hill got a taste of what it’s like to be a Miami Dolphin, not just for a season, but for what has been the reality of this franchise for the last 25 years. It’s a harsh awakening for anyone expecting a winning culture, and I respect that he had the guts to say it out loud. He’s the first player in recent memory to openly call out this team for its lack of toughness and grit. That takes courage, especially when you’re new to the organization. Hill’s message was clear: this team cannot continue to settle for mediocrity.
The Dolphins have been stuck in this cycle of mediocrity for far too long. Ownership seems content with doing the bare minimum to stay relevant, but relevance isn’t dominance. It’s not success. And it’s certainly not the kind of culture that breeds championships. If the Dolphins ever want to shed their reputation as the league’s perennial underachievers, they need to listen—not just to the fans, but to the players themselves. Players like Tyreek Hill, who know what it takes to win at the highest level.
I pray that for once, this team’s leadership takes the hint. It’s time to bring in players who don’t just want to compete but want to dominate. Enough with the mediocrity. Enough with the excuses. Dolphins fans have suffered long enough. It’s time for this team to grow a spine and start living up to its potential.
