Click here to see a slide show of the volleyball tournament. Walking by Nikki Beach on Saturday, most would have assumed that nothing was going on. There was no one at the door, no waiters to greet you, and only a couple of girls in bikinis basking in the sun…
Armando Salguero has a conference call with Mel Kiper posted on his blog. But that’s not important. What is important is that he wrote about a rumor making the rounds in Indy that the Falcons are reportedly so in love with BC quarterback Matt Ryan that they might consider trading…
It’s NFL Combine time! It’s that time of year when old men with clipboards and stopwatches poke, prod, ogle and feel-up young men wearing nothing but their underwear. It’s gonna be great! It’s also the time of year we talk possible draft scenarios and who’ll go where and when and…
Tristan Spinski A scrum between the Miami and Naples Rugby clubs Click here to view a slideshow of the Miami Football Rugby Club’s game versus the Naples Hammerhead Rugby Club. They have nicknames like Pukie, The Chef, Crazy Lou, The Mexican, Mr. Barbecue, Tortuga and Colossal. They push themselves hard…
Anyone else as indifferent about Keyshawn possibly coming to Miami as I am? I’d like to be optimistic and say, sure, we can use his veteran leadership and his experience will prove helpful to guys like Ted Ginn. Except that Keyshawn is a Grade A douchebag. Leadership? Keyshawn’s the first…
Apparently, Jason Taylor is on some sort of quest to out-gayify Brady Quinn. Because he just officially announced he’s going to be on Dancing With the Stars. In a related story, I’m officially announcing that my soul has been crushed. Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor will be the first active…
Wow. Never in the history of this franchise has there ever been such a conflicting damn-this-really-sucks-but-this-was-a-good-move moment like this one. It’s hard to articulate. Zach Thomas is a Dolphins icon, the kind of player that defines the passions of an entire fan base with his fervor and balls-to-the-wall approach to…
Continuing our free agent talk from yesterday, we now turn to the offense: Offensive Line The Dolphins released LJ Shelton and Anthony Alabi this week. Which means they’re definitely in the market for some beef. Some have said this makes it a sure thing that Parcells will draft Jake Long…
Sports Illustrated’s Peter King says the Dolphins are poised to have a big off-season after releasing Trent Green, Marty Booker and L.J. Shelton. With those guys off the books, the Fins’ cap number has gone from $29 million to $40 million (sadly, my cap space is holding steady at $58.12),…
The Dolphins have cut Trent Green, Marty Booker, LJ Shelton and Keith Traylor, among others today. They also cut Anthony Alabi, Anthony Bryant, Marion Dukes and Joe Toledo. Toledo — the guy everyone thought was a Nick Saban draft day steal even though his knees were made of glass, gone…
According to Pro Football Talk, NFL Network’s Adam Schefter is saying the Dolphins could take Virginia Defensive End Chris Long with the number one overall pick. “The widespread thinking is that the Miami Dolphins will ultimately regard Chris Long as entailing the least risk in return for a contract that…
Please, please let this trade happen. I don’t want to jinx it, but I really want the Suns to trade Shawn Marion for Shaq, as ESPN is reporting. If Pat Riley would like to atone for some of his awful mistakes in the last two years (forcing out Stan Van…
The Dolphins have their new offensive coordinator. 65-year-old Dan Henning has been hired by Bill Parcells to turn the Dolphins’ 28th ranked offense around. Oh, he is so fucked. Henning has been around for quite a while. He was even once hired by Don Shula in 1979. He was then…
As expected, thanks to the Giants’ beat down of the previously undefeated Patriots, the 1972 Perfect Season Miami Dolphins were finally able to drink their annual champagne. The rest of the league’s fan bases are annoyed by this seasonal ritual. Hey, fuck you, rest of the league’s fan bases. Who…
With Fox Broadcasting charging around $2.7 million, the highest amount in the history, for a 30 second spot in this year’s Super Bowl, companies needed to put up their best to milk those precious moments. However, while there were many gems in the slop that was this year’s Super Bowl…
11 ex-Dolphins will be playing or somehow participating in the Super Bowl this Sunday, which is more than any of the current Dolphins can say. Let’s see… Jason Taylor? Collecting Man of the Year Awards. Not bad. But we’d rather he be collecting a Super Bowl ring. Cleo Lemon? At…
Nothing says benevolence and charity like a liquored up asshole telling everyone in the room just how much they’ve let him down. But that’s me. I love me an alcoholic beverage or two, and I love to let it all hang out when I drink. So if I’m going to…
DallasCowboys.com is saying that Cowboys secondary coach Todd Bowles is expected to be named the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator. Bowles is described as a laid back coach, which is something the players in Dallas apparently liked about him. He was at one point interviewed for the head coaching job when Parcells…
Dan Henning has emerged as the leading candidate to land the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator’s job. Henning has held jobs with the Falcons, Redskins and even Don Shula’s Dolphins for a while. Remember those Dolphins teams of 1979-1980? Me neither. Henning was most recently the OC for the Carolina Panthers. Which…
Here’s a feather in your cap: the new Dolphins front-office wants Trent Green back for 2008. I may not have any NFL front-office experience, but I’m guessing it might not be the best idea to bring back the guy with cat shit for brains that sucked before he got hurt…
Caught in the hurricane of steroid controversy blown up by the Mitchell Report, Roger Clemens has trotted out the tired explanation that he was taking vitamin supplements and anti-inflammatory medication, not performance enhancing drugs. But one former MLB athletic trainer says it doesn’t add up. Former Florida Marlins and Cincinnati…
BREAKING NEWS: In what is the least shocking news to ever break in franchise history, Tony Sparano has been named head coach of your Miami Dolphins. Update 2: The Dolphins website has made it official (evidently, they too have a shortage of Sparano pics). Update: Mortensen is reporting it too…
