Every week, Riptide’s crack team of employment termination scientists gauge just how fireable loathed Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland has become following his latest series of horrific blunders. So how close is the Ginger Menace to getting canned this week?Late yesterday, word spread that the Dolphins had cut wide receiver…
For the second week in a row, the Dolphins failed to capitalize on opportunities to close out a game and lost an overtime game they should have won. Given the “Cardiac Cards” moniker Arizona has earned as of late, you had to figure this game would get wild towards the…
Last week, we introduced “Fire Jeff Ireland Watch,” Riptide’s newest feature, where our crack team of employment termination scientists gauge just how fireable the Dolphins loathed general manager is at the moment following his latest series of horrific blunders. This week, the Ginger Devil’s awful drafting, terrible personnel decisions and general…
There was a time when kicker Dan Carpenter was responsible for the majority of the points the Dolphins scores, and could be relied upon to line up and bang out a field goal — from seemingly any distance — with a twirl of his flowing locks. That time is gone…
Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland’s mismanagement of the Fins — comically whiffing on everything from prospective free agents to current players to young college kids whose mothers were probably not crack-smoking prostitutes — has been well-documented. He’s quite the controversial, talent-repelling jerk, this one.But how close is Jeff Ireland…
Facing a below-average Oakland Raiders yesterday, it was generally believed the Dolphins had a very good chance of beating their former AFC rival and notching the first victory for both Head Coach Joe Philbin and QB Ryan Tannehill. Then Reggie Bush came out of nowhere and decided to show everyone…
With seven minutes left in the second quarter on Sunday, the Dolphins looked like a team that seemed to have turned the corner. The defense was playing more like the aggressive squad that had played well last year, the Dolphins receivers were catching the ball on offense, rookie quarterback Ryan…
Cheer up, third-round pick/emo perpetually sad-faced tight end/ likely-illustrator-of-fantastical-scenes-involving-dragons-and-Asian-counterculture-anti-heros-during-team-film-sessions / wouldn’t-make-any-other-team’s-53-man-roster-except-the-piece-of-shit-Jets Michael Egnew – HBO’s Hard Knocks featuring your Miami Dolphins has officially ended!Of course, it ended with a final-cut heavy episode full of enough tears to make a 3 a.m. Lifetime Network cameo sandwiched between Ghost and Steel Magnolias…
In what is typically the most uninteresting and uneventful of all preseason games, the Dolphins conducted business-as-usual by falling to the Dallas Cowboys 30-13 last night, completing the 2012 preseason with only their third winless effort in franchise history.The Fins followed up in the most appropriate way possible: By literally…
A funny thing is happening with this year’s installment of Hard Knocks. Previous seasons focused on obvious, larger-than-life coaching personalities in Rex Ryan, Herm Edwards and Brian Billick, but the idea behind this year’s inside look at the Dolphins was to cut out all that cute shit and pull back…
The Miami Dolphins have traded former first-round pick Vontae Davis to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2013 second-rounder as well as a conditional late-round pick. Obviously, this is a move that makes sense on several fronts given the Midas-like wealth of talent the Dolphins possess at virtually every position on…
Over the past decade, your Miami Dolphins have resembled a resident of Hiroshima that moved to Nagasaki during World War II to escape the likelihood of bombing. “It’s probably much nicer and safer over there,” your Dolphins say. Inevitably, they’re pretty much screwed either way; it’s always an emotional bloodbath.So…
