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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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, 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…
For the record: I think Chris Long is an exceptional defensive end. And I will be very pleased if Miami ends up drafting him. Howevah! I do think that Vernon Gholston is a better prospect. He’s a more gifted athlete, more explosive and a more versatile player. His skills, to…
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…
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…
