Dave Hyde talks about a new book called The Water Boy, written by Bob Ackles (with Ian Mulgrew), who was in charge of personnel during Jimmy Johnson's time in Miami.

In it, he has excerpts that describe an event that occurred the day before former Offensive Coordinator Gary Stevens was fired:

"Jimmy was sucking back his beer and eating taco chips with scorching hot salsa. He loved Mexican food. He had a portable television on which he was watching our in-house video of the game. The more he watched, the angrier he got. He watched the start of the play in which Marino tossed an interception (returned for a TD). Jimmy saw the linebacker yelling instructions to the defense, cocking his arm back and forth and Collins moving to the left.

"Jimmy realized the linebacker suspected what Marino was going to do. Suspected? He knew. Sure enough, Collins stepped in front of the ball, intercepted it and sprinted for a touchdown. Jimmy went berserk.

"He'd told Gary about this time and time again. Jimmy lifted up the television, which must have weighed between six and eight pounds. He held it up with one hand and flailed at it with the other, yelling, "(Bad word)! (Bad word)! How many times have I told you?"
