Reshad Jones pulled a Kam Chancellor. He tried holding out, realized the team wasn’t gonna budge, tucked tail and came back.   Good for Stephen Ross for not caving in to a man who already gave his word, in writing, that he would play. Was it because of our blog post the other day and all your comments that guilted him into returning?   Probably not (despite my joking headline above).  Although I did hear one time a few years ago from a fellow blogger in Denver that Wes Welker read one of my posts where I criticized Wes for siding with Nick Saban when NickRead More →

The London Dolphins have once again shown how much they care for their own local fans. Once again, the Dolphins are moving a game away from their fans. Just like the Patriots playing their home games in London and the Broncos playing in Toronto, all the great championships teams like to screw over their fans and move games.   You can’t help but be sarcastic each time you hear about Dolphins’ Management pulling a fast one on its fans. When you hear the phrase “Miami Dolphins,” you have to accept that the Miami part is only a suggestion.   Why should “home” games be playedRead More →

After the Patriots got caught in the Deflategate turmoil, owner Robert Kraft said that they would accept whatever punishment the NFL handed them. That turned out to be the biggest lie in the NFL since Bill Parcells said he would not trade Jason Taylor, and then traded him to the Redskins.  The 2nd biggest lie since Nick Saban said that he was not going to Alabama.   Why do all the big lies involved Dolphins management? Anyway… When the wife beaters, steroiders, murderers, and other various potheads are suspended by Roger Goodell, they take their punishment like a man and disappear for a few weeks.   WhenRead More →

This week, the Dolphins faced some media scrutiny again, as former Dolphins writer Jason Cole wrote that Laremy Tunsil had a a bad ankle. The Dolphins denied it, of course. All you need to know about Jason Cole can be summed up here:   In 2011, Cole reported, AS FACT, that Jim Harbaugh had been hired as Dolphins’ coach. He didn’t report a speculation or a rumor or use any iffy language. He said it as fact, and he stated it was aRead More →

When NBC’s Pro Football Talk recently published an interview with Jonathan Martin, we knew we were in for an opinionated, biased account of Martin’s worldview right from the get go. The very first sentence called Martin a “victim,” which told us all we needed to know about how one-sided and dishonest the article would be. For some reason, a school had Martin come in to talk to 7th graders.   Why on earth would a school do this?  What can Martin possibly talk about?  Quitting?   Getting cut?  Being traded for next to nothing?  What else does he bring to the table? Right off theRead More →

So Laremy Tunsil has signed his contract, and the possibility of a long protracted holdout is averted.  So far, he is behaving and saying all the right things, and acting all the right ways.   We should all be grateful that both Tunsil and his agent have the wisdom to just sign the deal asap and start collecting their millions. Head Coach Adam Gase did away with Rookie Training Camp this year and instead replaced it with Rookie Classwork.  As has been reported in various media outlets, Gase apparently didn’t think that these young players needed to practice NFL football.   Instead, he wanted toRead More →

So it’s time to review the 2016 draft from last week, now that the dust has settled and I am over my grieving period about the loss of Jamar Taylor. So first up is Laremy Tunsil.   Right off the bat, we get a taste of controversy, due to the infamous mask-bong video.   But once the smoke cleared (pun fully intended), we find ourselves with a helluva player. I took some time to digest this pick. His football skills qualified him to be the top overall pick.   That’s a consensus from every single draft analyst out there.    We got perhaps the bestRead More →

I cannot wait for Laremy Tunsil to face off in practice against Dion Jordan.   It will be my greatest blog post ever that day!   Can’t wait to write captions for that photo! But seriously, folks…I was up half the night following every story I could on Laremy Tunsil, and every minute that went by seemed to be a new development.    Shockingly, the apologists were out as well, making their case that it’s only pot, so no big deal (more on those fools later). The main story, as we all must know, is that the Dolphins have generated yet another negative media stormRead More →

Unless he cries and whines his way to the courts (again), Tom Brady will miss the week 2 game against the Dolphins.   This means, in theory, that the Dolphins have their first chance to win a game in Foxboro since the advent of the Wildcat. As I’ve stated many times, the courts are not deciding on Brady’s guilt or innocence.  Rather, the courts are deciding whether the commissioner has the right to punish players.   Of course he does. Everyone knows this.   But last year the Patriots took their chances with a liberal judge and got their way.   This year, they metRead More →

The NFL is releasing the schedule TONIGHT! Usually the league announces the schedule-release date weeks in advance and advertises and promotes it like crazy.   This year, no dice.    Luckily, I heard about this and confirmed with the league. Tonight at 8 Eastern, we will learn when the Dolphins play, any MNF games, SNF games, TNF games, etc. We know the Dolphins play in L.A. this year, for example, and tonight we learn when.  Could be the first game of the year, as I imagine the NFL will want to give the new L.A. Rams a splendid home opener. The Dolphins are no longer aRead More →

The good news is that Stephen Ross has a successor in place, and a new owner can’t come fast enough. The bad news is that the new owner, who would take over upon Ross’s death–and who also has the first right to buy the team from Ross any time he is alive—is another New York City businessman. More than likely a Jet fan like Ross.  His name is Bruce Beal. Ross’s people also insisted that he has no plans to sell the team.  But in naming a successor, at least the plans are in place if he changes his mind.  The way the deal worksRead More →

No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke.   (Although when I learned the Dolphins just re-signed Daniel Thomas again, I thought someone was fooling me).  Instead, we want to seriously consider just how good the Dolphins can. be. That’s CAN be.  As in “might” be.   No guarantees, no predictions.   Just possibilities. Let’s start with new head coach Adam Gase.  I was not in favor of this hiring, and I’ve stated many reasons why.  Just because people around the NFL think a guy will be a good head coach, doesn’t make it so.   Just ask Clueless Joe Philbin.  However, since we’re focusing onRead More →

Stephen Ross continues his trend of being all things to all endeavors. In the last 48 hours alone, here’s what he’s been up to: He is really pushing his new soccer league and games in Miami, even though no one cares about soccer. He continues to do the City of Miami’s job of attracting a Super Bowl, as if Ross himselfRead More →
