Chapter 1: What insights does Dianna Russini share from the NFL Owners Meetings?
All right, kicking things off with Smirnoff, the official vodka sponsor of the NFL and the number one vodka in the world. Chris Cody, you're here. Smirnoff! Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff.
Smirnoff!
Chris, you know what goes great with Smirnoff? Smirnoff! Yes, but I'm really talking about the game day fit. The style's got to match the vibe. Smirnoff! All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. And that's exactly why your fit has to match the occasion. Smirnoff!

Plus, one fan will win a Lely Mays one-of-one game day jacket. Wow. The merch will be dropped on select dates from December to January 21, and it's all courtesy of what brand?

Chapter 2: Why do the Dolphins seem to be struggling this season?
Like, did you think that performance was filled with a bunch of disciplined players that came in with a really good game plan that were going to lean into the skill sets that they have, which we could probably do a whole segment of what are the Miami Dolphins good at right now?
Greg, what would the score have to have been for you to concede? And I'm not ā again, I'm not saying they quit.
I'm just asking you what ā Greg, I feel like you're trying to say that ā You think that my opinion that they weren't making effort is wrong, that that was just bad football, that they were trying, but they just are not very good. Yeah, you just think they're bad. Of course, I think there was effort in that game.
I think it was a bad team losing to a bad team, a bad team beating an even worse team. I'm not accusing you of anything. Anybody who says, ah, they quit, anybody who says that was a lack of effort by that team, I always say, what on the field, beyond the final score, what on the field did you see? What player on the field did you see quitting?
Now, when Jimmy Butler was almost leaving the Heat, there were analytics that showed Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Butler had quit. You don't want an example of like, you know, a corner just giving up and not even attempting to make a tackle. No, no, I don't.
i don't think we're at that part of the season where guys know that it's done and they're just they're just you know you you hear this all the time where guys in the locker room will tell you like yeah no one was even trying because they don't want to get hurt just got this one's in a contract here he's not willing to to take a risk hello no it's okay um
Did they offer you something? What was that? Is that Mr. Ross? I mean, what did you have for Diana? Well, it just seems to me that the Dolphins.
Dolphins time!
Yeah, about five minutes passed on Dolphins time. That is time on the Dolphins.

Chapter 3: What does Dianna think about the Dolphins' coaching situation?
Time!
This is echoing in the lobby of the Omni. You don't have headphones on? No. I forgot to bring them.
Okay, I'll whisper the question. What's the Omni ever done? Diana, you mentioned that the owners will come downstairs for refreshments and that's when you'll sidle up.
Is that Louis Riddick?
How do you sidle up? What's your opening line to gain the confidence of an owner?
Actually, I need your opinion about something. So because I only see the owners three times a year, roughly, I always think the most professional approach is always to reintroduce myself, right? No matter what, even the ones that I've known for years to just, hey, how are you? Just Diana Rossini. Yeah, they're old. Just familiarity.
And also to remind them that I'm not just a fan or a person that works for the league. So they're aware that they are talking to a journalist and that what we talk about is probably going to be written about or I'm going to talk about it.
um but i've noticed a little trend yesterday when i was doing this where i think they get offended that i introduced myself as if i'm underestimating their recall so then i got a lot of like yeah i know And I'm like, wait, I was just doing that because I know you meet a lot of people. You're very important. My face is very boring and bland.
And, you know, I look like six different people in the lobby right now.
