Heat and Mayo Together Doesn’t Sound Very Delicious

ESPN NBA draft analyst Chad Ford reports that the Miami Heat had a workout with former USC guard O.J. Mayo and that Mayo could very well be the Heat’s first pick in this month’s NBA draft. And to that we give our own NBA draft analysis rebuttal by saying, “Whaaa?!”…

Dan Uggla Is The God of Thunder

If you listen long enough, you can still hear it. The sound of thunder reverberating throughout the sky from last night’s Marlins walk-off grand slam against the Phillies. The Gods on Olympus forged his arms out of molten lava and rawhide; his balls were cast from pure steel. His name…

Hanley Ramirez Is Just Like You, Except More Awesome

Ideally, leadoff men are supposed to set the tone every night with their first at bat of the game. Last night, Hanley Ramirez set the tone on fire, kicked it in the onions and ran away with its hot girlfriend. The first place Phillies strolled into Dolphin Stadium for what…

Dwight Freeney Disagrees With Bloggers and Fan Forums

Unlike some Dolphins bloggers and fan forum members, current and former NFL players are siding with JT on this whole fiasco. Colts Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney says that Taylor should get a little more respect than he’s getting: “He is the face of the franchise. Before him it…

Marlins Say Adios to First Place

I’ve been glued to the tube and to my stadium seat for the last month or so, basking in the Marlins first place run. But I’m afraid it’s over. Starting pitching is the problem. And the bullpen to a lesser degree. Hey Justin Miller blew the save the other day…

Your Obligatory Dolphins Draft Grade

It seems that the Dolphins scored a pretty nice draft grade across the board from various experts yesterday. For example, the Star-Telegram called the Chiefs and the Dolphins the biggest winners of the draft and awarded them each the highest grades of all the NFL teams. And CBS Sports gave…

More Jake Longy Goodness

Now that we have our first pick locked down, we can sit back, relax and analyze what we got in our man Jake Long. Never has game film for an offensive-lineman made me so excited. That’s right. Excited. Boner city? Well, no, not quite. But excited nonetheless…

Badminton Gets Slightly Cooler

You might remember the Vitamin Water commercials which featured famous athletes playing sports they wouldn’t be caught dead playing in real life. What you might not know is that the commercial below was filmed in South Florida and aside from being hilarious, the ad features our very own badminton enthusiast,…

Bill Parcells Is Good At Drafting

Some dude from the Union-Tribute wrote an 800 word piece on how he too does not know what Bill Parcells will do with the Dolphins’ first overall pick. But he does make some neat observations, like how Parcells has done nothing but study tapes on college players and talk to…

Picking First Sucks

Bill Parcells confirmed with the New York Daily News last week that he is, in fact, willing to trade out of the first overall pick. We all would like him to do this for a number of reasons — mainly to get more picks so he can have more flexibility…

Tennis On The Beach?

Lucy Orozco Traffic before the toll booths on the Rickenbaker Causeway was backed up for almost an hour due to the Sony Ericsson Open. It was interesting to find people with a dislike for certain aspects of tennis at the event. These people developed their own version of the game,…

Jason Taylor Is The Mambo King, Bitch

Jason Taylor once again kicked some dancy ass on Dancing With the Stars last night. He danced the Mambo and impressed the judges with his nimble feet and devilish good looks. He also scored a 9 from all three judges! Tonight is double-elimination night. Two contestants will be gone by…

2008 Dolphins Mock Draft

I’ve been writing about the Dolphins draft in one form or another since 2005. More often than not, I have been right, they have been wrong. A quick re-cap: 2005: I said the Fins should draft Braylon Edwards. They took Ronnie Brown instead. Now, Edwards is blowing shit up in…

Jason Taylor Wins Over Dancing Judges, My Heart

First of all, I promised myself that I’d only watch 20 minutes of the show to catch a glimpse of Jason Taylor dancing just so I can say that I watched him do this crap at least once. It would be my first and last time watching Jason Taylor frolic…

JT Says He Is Staying (And Other Crap)

Here’s what happened over the weekend while you wondered why your Emperor’s Club “order” was a no-show: Jason Taylor appears on satellite radio, says he’s staying in Miami, walks off doing jazz hands. Taylor told Sirius Satellite radio hosts Vic Carucci and Dan Leberfeld that Miami is where he wants…

The Hobbit Has Gone North (And Other Crap)

Here’s what happened over the weekend while 10,000 BC was hitting No. 1 at the box office, thus signaling the end of Western civilization as we know it: — The Dolphins have just become 52% less ridiculous. Another face of the debacle that was the 2007 season has left us…

Arrows Going Up

Analysts, former NFL general managers and other people who generally know what the fuck they’re talking about, have been giving the Fins the thumbs up on their recent FA moves…

Calvin Pace Will Break Windows With His Arm In New York

Calvin Pace, who smashed a window with his arm while playing grab-ass with some friends a couple of years ago, was waiting for Joey Porter money. And the Jets gave it to him. After being offered a contract by the Fins on Friday, Pace flew up to New York over…

Combine Talk: Jerry’s Got a Hankerin!

I’ve made no secret about how much I love Darren McFadden. If I were a GM, I’d make him the guy to get. But, alas, I am just a lowly blogger. Tear. Yesterday during the combine, McFadden justified my man-crush for him when he ran an unofficial 4.27 40-yard dash…
