When #7 throws a TD pass to our newest WR would you refer to it as a Henne Marshall Production?
If #10 throws a TD pass to our newest WR could you refer to it as a Penne Marshall Production?
The fallout from the Marshall trade (incl. contract)
First, I want to congratulate the Miami Dolphins for doing the dynamic thing, the difficult thing, the courageous thing in acquiring Brandon Marshall today. Only time will tell if it is the right thing but we'll get to that in a bit. Marshall is scheduled to arrive in Fort Lauderdale this aftern...
Jason Taylor is the 'unnamed' source. That much is obvious.
The Sparano-Taylor meeting off on wrong foot
Tony Sparano called Jason Taylor in recent days and with all the charm and charisma that convinces so many Dolphins to play hard 100 percent of the time, the coach told Taylor the two of them needed to meet this week. Man to man. Coach to player. Nobody needed to know about it, Sparano told Tayl...
If Jason Taylor is the answer, why aren't there 32 teams beating down his door, wining and dining him? He's a FREE AGENT and the only interest that has been confirmed is from the Jets.
If JT REALLY wanted to win a ring, he should call the Pats/Colts/Saints/Vikings. Yes, I left the Jets off the list because the world knows the Jets were a fraud last year.
Lastly, it has been reported that his agent MADE him go visit with the Jets. Gee, I wonder why? Oh yeah, because JT is a FREE AGENT and without any offers, his agent DOESN'T GET HIS 4% CUT.
Are we clear?
Tony Sparano to meet with Jason Taylor?
The Jason Taylor saga is taking another turn this week as the Dolphins may be putting on a last-minute effort to keep the veteran outside linebacker. NFL senior insider Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Taylor and Sparano are scheduled to meet in person this week. "I've been told Coach Tony S...
So many experts...
Is Ronnie Brown likely to get traded?
Adam Schefter, who covers the NFL nationally better than anyone, reminded everyone on this twitter posting Sunday that Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown has been available in trade for over a year and so the implication is don't be surprised if he is traded. Frankly, I would be surprised if he'...
Great...now the clowns in the media are going to start floating this as 'news' because Armando presented it as 'just an idea'.
A speculative but interesting trade scenario
The following is not based on sourcing or reporting and is not likely to happen, alright? The following is merely fanciful speculation so let's get that out of the way before anyone spits up breakfast or the folks at rotoworld report this as fact. (By the way, rotoworld guys, I'm not the Dolphin...
LOL at Wayne
Free agents on display during live blog today
NEW ORLEANS -- One reason I love covering the NFL playoffs is this is where the best teams are, thus this is where the best players are. I'm covering the Saints and the Cardinals today and some of the players I'll be watching are the ones that could be available to the Dolphins in the coming off...
Tim Hightower!?!?!

Sparano to Sean Smith: Time to get physical
I was standing in the middle of the Dolphins locker room earlier this week when rookie Sean Smith walked through and, looking at the kid from a distance, he seemed kind of skinny to me. Don't get me wrong. Smith isn't skinny skinny. I mean, he eats. He lifts weights. He works out. He weighs 214...
Mark In Toronto-
Thanks for the laugh about mismanaged teams...All I know about the Toronto hockey club is 1) they have one of the best uni's in all of sports; 2) It really seems like it should be Maple Leaves, and; 3) they have a defenseman who is better than Gibril Wilson TODAY.
Oh, and your list should be reversed. The New Jersey Jets are the worst managed team in all of sports and their fan base is the worst. Period.
Just sayin.

Prediction?
Pain.
News happenings on New Year's eve
Just want to wish you a happy and healthy New Year. Please don't drink and drive this holiday because I don't want to lose any readers. I wish you all much health and many blessings for 2010. Let me share with you some information: Running back Ricky Williams, nursing a shoulder injury, was limi...
There's a lot of things that I know when you go home to dinner at night, you don't have to worry about. I have to worry about it. I can only tell you that''s our job to get it in there. When we played New England last time, I can tell you we were down there and ran two straight plays. Runs. And we got stuffed. And then there was a guy named Ronnie Brown, he slipped out of there and threw a toucdown pass. You know what I heard about that one? That was innovative.
Hey Armando-Are you smart enough to realize that Henning gave you and the assembled media types a great big "F you" with the comments above? Probably not. Maybe you're putting together another self-important diatribe on how much you know about football...and we the fans don't. It must be nice to second, triple and quadruple guess someone's decisions in their job while you insulate yourself from the same treatment.
When it's feast, everyone sees Super Bowls...when it's famine, well, everyone forgets the fact that this team was a Greg Camarillo catch away from 0-16 less than 2 years ago.
Football is the absolute ultimate team sport. Of course you know this Armando. You're smarter than us. I wonder why you devoted 16 paragraphs to what Henning had to say...3 for Pasqualoni? After all, it was the 'D' that allowed 24 unanswered points in the 4th quarter.
Don't forget Armando that we your blog readers only come here for the information that you provide about our beloved Dolphins, NOT because of you. You are merely the messenger. If anyone of us were fortunate to have the access you do we could easily post a blog and easily have the same readers.
Coordinators explain selves, decisions
The first question to offensive coordinator Dan Henning today was why he called a halfback pass out of the direct snap formation against Buffalo last Sunday. The question came today because Henning only talks on Thursdays and because the play was an utter disaster, having been intercepted when R...
Mark in Toronto-
Thanks for dropping the dime on Adarius Bowman...he actually started his college carerr at North Carolina where he was booted from the team...landed at OSU, where he was...booted from the team...I was wondering where this beast of a WR ended up and think he'd be great as a Dolphin...don't think Sparano will take a chance though with his past.
Miami Dolphins cut Roth for lack of production
Life is tough on the Dolphins roster when you're not producing. Matt Roth was not producing since returning to active duty four games ago. So he's no longer on the roster. The Dolphins released the outside linebacker today. Despite the curious timing of the move, sources are telling The Herald n...
'U' morons that keep saying the better team lost to the inferior team must have short memories. Once is a fluke. Twice is a coincidence. Three straight wins and 4 since 2004 is the rule.
I read the same blather last year...the better team won. Deal with it. And for "U" fans that know what they're talking about-it's tough to win on the road. Keep rooting for your school, though, because that's what real fans do.
Go Heels!
Gameday blog: UM-North Carolina
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- The Canes and Tar Heels are going head-to-head at 3:30 p.m. With Georgia Tech rolling to a big win over Duke, the Canes are no longer playing for a berth into the ACC Championship game. The next three games are about trying to finish with 10 wins and go to the best bowl poss...
We dont use Wake on offense because he plays defense.
Dolphins lead Saints, 14-3 to start second Q
The Dolphins are on fire! They have scored two touchdowns on Ricky Williams runs, one that went for 68 yards and one that covered 4 yards. The defense, meanwhile, has come at Drew Brees and Co. with blitzes and pressure and has an interception from Tyrone Culver that led to the 4-yard Williams T...
Arguing with Phinatic on an internet blog is like winning a 100 yard dash in the Special Olympics...no matter who wins you're still a retard.
Have Dolphins talked themselves out of upset?
Dolphins players have been hearing about the Saints, watching the Saints, living the Saints throughout the course of the bye week and this week. Coaches have been telling them how good the Saints are. The media has been telling them how good the Saints are. And so late this week, players reached...
