BUFFALO — One year when the Miami Dolphins visited the Buffalo Bills in December, the sideline reporter for NBC Sports wanted to do a segment on how the Dolphins were stuffing their shoes with Cayenne pepper to keep their feet warm.

While Heil was waiting for the segment to air pregame, Buffalo fans noticed Heil in Dolphins gear walking along the Dolphins sideline holding a shoe.

“A**hole with a shoe!
