Rey Maualuga hates the heat. Hates it.
So playing in Miami was a curious choice for the California native. But you go where the jobs are, and the Dolphins offered him one back in August.
But he did not know exactly what he was getting into until Sunday, when the field-level heat index for his Dolphins debut was 113 degrees, according to CBS.
“When I stepped out there on the field, I had to catch myself a little bit,” Mauluga said. “'It's f---ing hot as s---! Holy crap.'”
So after warmups, Maualuga went back in the locker room and took not one, but two bags of IVs.
