“The worst place you can be”

Jonnu Smith must have been feeling a little cheeky when he trashed the city of Buffalo.

The Dolphins tight end, who previously played for the Titans, Patriots and Falcons, criticized the cold and famously delicate hometown of the AFC East rival Bills.

“It’s probably the worst place in the world to be,” Smith said during an appearance on “The Dive Bar Podcast.”

But what about those delicious wings, made famous at trendy spots like Anchor Bar and Bar-Bill Tavern?

“The chicken wings aren’t even good,” Smith said, unprompted. “They’re not even good. I throw all kinds of punches in Buffalo.”

Smith signed a four-year, $50 million free agent contract with the Patriots in 2021, but he failed to live up to expectations with just 55 receptions for 539 yards and one touchdown in 30 games before being released.

He was released again by the Falcons after last season.

It’s safe to say he never considered the Bills as a landing spot before joining the Dolphins.

Either way, the Bills’ offense, with productive tight ends Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, wasn’t looking for his help.

“That’s why their fans are so hated — because they want to be here (in Miami),” Smith said. “Have you ever been to Buffalo? Oh my God, man. Listen, Buffalo is… I don’t know how these guys do it. I don’t know how they did it. I don’t know how they did it. Coming from anywhere in the country and then going to Buffalo.”

The Bills have dominated the Dolphins of late, winning 10 of the last 11 meetings, including a home game in the wild-card round of the 2022 playoffs and a game at Miami in Week 18 last season with the AFC East title on the line.

The latter result sent the Dolphins to Kansas City for the playoffs, where they lost to the Chiefs in the third coldest game in NFL history (-4 degrees at kickoff).

Don’t tell Smith.

It’s safe to say that Smith will be in for a very unpleasant reception from the people of Buffalo when the Dolphins visit the Bills on November 3.
