POP-CULTURAL COLLISION OF THE DAY

Miami Dolphins Coach Joe Philbin made a shocking confession yesterday...

Philbin told ESPN 'Fins beat reporter James Walker Tuesday that he was first introduced to Dre and his former hip-hop group after watching the movie last week in a team-sponsored movie night.

"I actually liked it," Philbin said of Straight Outta Compton. "I had never heard of Dr. Dre until I went to the movie. I liked the history of it. I didn't know any of that stuff. I thought it was good."

Philbin won't get much street cred with this oversight, as Walker notes. But expanding his horizons, such as seeing Straight Outta Compton with his team, is all part of Philbin's plan to be more personal with players.

The coach later acknowledged he'd never hears of Jeb Bush or Donald Trump either before QB Ryan Tannehill informed him there was election scheduled for 2016.
