OT: Miami Dolphins...WHOA!!!!!

i think if they brought in dan marino to coach that would be something.too bad dan turned down a managerial role with the team here a couple years ago.the dolphins have really sucked since he retired.....

I hate to tell you guys but this weekend the Dolphins will upset NE. Book it right now.

I'm shaking in my shoes! Step away from the crack pipe and get a clue! The Dolphins had their one and ONLY moment, last Sunday, against a putrid Ravens team. I promise you the Dolphins aren't winning a game in December in 25 degree weather! They never won in Foxboro in December, when they actually had respectable teams, so I can assure you the Pop Warner crew they're fielding this season isn't winning anything, except the first pick in the draft in April! The Patriots may lose, before this season is over (I've been predicting a loss for them all season), but, I promise you it isn't happening to the Dolphins! In fact, if the weather is remotely reasonable, Brady will tie Manning's record this weekend, against the guppies!

My friend, you really disappoint me. The Phins are riding a big high right now, and they know whats at stake for their 72 season record and they control the destiny. You'll see a different Dolphin team this weekend. If Im wrong feel free to throw it in my face and Ill acknowledge my error. But, as the great Mubahdahbee, the wizard of foresight said-"I'm putting $100 on the Phins....."

by **jrnyman28** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:31 am

I don't have a lot of hope for the Fins, but I will say they are notorious for playing up to AND down to their competition. Now that they have the goose off their back they might get back to that and at least make a game of it with NE...

Early weather reports have some showers and 47 degrees for Sunday. Miami is a 22 point dog. Put all your money on the Patriots this weekend. Unless they have some crazy wind or a monsoon rain, they are ABSOLUTELY covering against this team! I hate the 72 Dolphins as much as everyone hates today's Patriots! I'm tired of looking at these old fucks get dragged out of mothballs, every time an NFL team ends up 10-0. Most of these guys look like they're on a weekend pass from the cemetary, and their act is VERY tired! Send them back to the old age home, where they belong! I hope security at Gillette Stadium doesn't let the Miami AARP crew into the game this weekend. Nothing would make me happier than for the Patriots to finish this season with THE BEST record, EVER, and make the 72 Dolphins fade into oblivion, FOREVER!

ESPN is reporting Parcells to Miami as Head of FB Ops. Supposed to be a done deal within 48 hours - but with Tuna you never know....

At least Wayne is doing something - FINALLY!

PARCELLS ACCEPTS TOP JOB WITH DOLPHINS

BY ARMANDO SALGUERO

Former NFL coach Bill Parcells has agreed to a four-year deal proposed by owner Wayne Huizenga to make him the team's head of football operations, a source has told The Miami Herald.

Parcells is a VERY good coach, and I actually think he's a reasonably good talent evaluator. I won't call Parcells "a great coach", because I don't think his record really reflects being "great", and I think that word is used FAR too much. The reality is that since Parcells has left the Giants, he has a 95-81 record, with 3 other teams. While it's a winning record, it's certainly nothing spectacular. The guy won his last Super Bowl in 1990, and he has also NEVER won anything, without Bellichick as his Defensive Coordinator! I like Parcells, personally, as I've always found him to be incredibly entertaining! The guy gave the best press conferences, in the history of the NFL. I just don't think he deserves to be mentioned with the Vince Lombardi's of the world! I think the biggest challenge for Parcells, with Miami, is going to be hiring a coach, and then keeping his nose out of it (which I think might prove to be tough). I certainly think Miami could do a lot worse than Parcells. He at least brings back some credibility, which is DESPERATELY needed in Miami, at this point.

thats the truth, although with the Falcon's run of luck lately he could have made a bigtime positive impact immediately, but alas, Atlanta's bad luck just keeps on going.....

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. This isn't about how wealthy the citizens of one city are over another. The reality is that EVERY major American city has its share of wealthy citizens. My point was that the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys have more storied histories, in the NFL than the Miami Dolphins have (their 17-0 season, notwithstanding). Now, as far as Miami's credentials as a good sports city...It's an embarrassment! As I've already stated here in the past, the south is clueless when it comes to pro sports! If there aren't frat parties involved (i.e. college) or cars driving around in circles (NASCAR), the south isn't exactly "tuned in" to its pro sports!

As far as Huizenga is concerned...I honestly don't know much about the guy. I'm not someone who thinks team owners should be involved with on the field decisions (EVER)! Team owners are team owners, because they're supposed to be successful businessmen! If they have the business acumen they're supposed to have, they should be smart enough to hire the right people to run the franchise! I can tell you this...Robert Kraft isn't picking the players the Patriots draft every April, and he certainly isn't signing free agents! He's smart enough to let Scott Pioli and Bill Bellichick run the football operations! Again, owners should keep their noses out of it, and sign the checks!

John from Boston

Dayum, next time why don't you insult us? The NASCAR thing is getting really old. Though I don't follow basketball (what a joke), baseball (it stopped being a REAL game years ago) or golf (could there be more of a lame "sport" out there?), I "do" football at ALL levels and am probably much more animated than any of you men (westerners and yanks alike) when watching a game. I also "do" hockey to the nth degree (believe it or not, we actually have a semi-pro team here at the beach... wow) and am an absolute nut for boxing.
Jones has absolutely NO business whatsoever being involved with football. He's in the same league as bushie on that issue. If you are in it for the money... get the hell out and stay out. The man is single-handedly bringing all hell down on the league over this NFL channel crap. It'll hurt the league, but it'll put big ass bucks in his pocket... so what does he flippin care?
The league in general flat out sucks. EVERYONE is entirely too damned primadonna. We need a return to the smash and bash days. Who the hell cares if they take a couple of minutes to bask in the glory of their having scored? Oh, that's right, it cuts into your "air time" pay from all those pansy ass companies. And all these enclosed stadiums. What the hell sort of true fan (or player for that matter) insists upon having a nice little cozy place to take in the game?
Meh.... Do me a favor, next time don't use the all encompassing stereotype in yer debate. You loose brownie points when some little ass woman, way down deep in S. Texas, comes up swinging with her brass balls. :twisted:

And for the record, yes, I am a NASCAR head. :shock:

Well, for what it's worth...I have ZERO desire to have ANYONE refer to the Patriots as "America's Team"! The Patriots have enough haters, without that label attached to them! Also, as a fan, it's a hell of a lot more fun having EVERYONE despise your team, than having everyone talk about how great they are. For some twisted reason, it's just more satisfying to know how many thousands of people are completely pissed off, every time your team wins :twisted:

As I said before, it's beyond arrogant for ANY team to be referred to as "America's Team". The reason the Cowboys have so many people (myself included) who hate them is that they actually refer to themselves as "America's Team", so it wasn't even the media who concocted it! At least if it were the media who came up with the dopey idea, you could kind of let the team of the hook. When it's the team telling America that they are "America's Team", it's FUCKING NAUSEATING!

On another note, for you Dolphins fans...You can start hoping now that Parcells somehow coaxes Scott Pioli (who I think is is son in law) out of New England to take the head of player personnel job with the Dolphins. That would probably get Miami back on the winning track faster than anything else (including the hiring of Parcells)!

You want perspective? It's been said that Bill Bidwell could get $600 million or more for the Arizona Cardinals, a team that hasn't had a significant win in 10 years, and hasn't won a championship since the 1940's. NFL franchises are very hard to come by, and the Dolphins are, according to a recent story on ESPN.com, ranked #15 in value among all NFL franchises.

ABSOLUTELY! Listen Dean...I never questioned the passion of NASCAR fans! The fact that I think NASCAR is retarded, and that only one dentist could service all 10 teeth the 150K folks crammed into Lowes Motor Speedway have doesn't diminish their passion for driving around in circles! I simply DON'T and NEVER will consider driving an automobile a sport. I'm a pretty nutty sports fan and somewhat old school when it comes to sports. That said, I don't determine what sports are, based on my personal preferences. I think Soccer is PAINFULLY BORING, and I wouldn't watch it if you paid me to! That said, I do consider soccer to be a sport...Just not one I give a fuck about :twisted:

Listen dipshit. I live on the NC/VA border and frequent NC quite often. I know all about NC. So STFU. If you don't like where you live, then move back to Boston. The south certainly doesn't need another worthless northern idiot like yourself stinking up the place. Furthermore, your classification of people based completely on where they live shows how ignorant you are. Not all southerns like NASCAR. Maybe more southerns take more pride in college sports than northerns. Maybe that means that southerns are actually smart enough to go to college, while some northerns brag on an internet forum board about their 7th grade education. My advice to you is to shut up, go back and finish 8th through 12th, take some community college classes, then come back and tell us how smart you are.

Listen moron, I can assure you that I am very well educated, and don't need to boast about my G.P.A. on MR to validate my intellect! I can also assure you that there is NO FUCKING WAY that "southerns", as you call them, are more educated than anyone on the planet! While I'm VERY guilty of painting with a broad brush, I'm convinced that Jerry Springer recruits 100% of his guests from this part of the country!

You're the one who told me I didn't have a clue, so don't run your pie hole and think I'm not coming after your hick ass! I can make one promise to you...As soon as I can get my house sold, I'm out of this abortion of a state! I never claimed ALL "southerns" (and you lecture me about education) liked NASCAR. I simply made the point that if you truly don't grasp the concept about how INSANELY CRAZY most southerners (sorry for using the correct word) are about NASCAR, you have your head up your ass (which is entirely possible)!

John, I have lived in the south my whole life and I dont care for Nascar. In fact it puts me to sleep. I am very passionate about college sports because one of the most important times in my life came during my college days. But I dont know how you can classify the NFL as lost in the south because Atlanta(until 2 games ago)sold out every home game since Arthur Blank bought the team. No one can blame the fans for backing off a bit now considering all the shit coming from that franchise. Jacksonville and Tampa Bay sell out regulary, Miami usually does until this season(again, who can blame the fans???) and I think Carolina does, although Im not as close to that organization. The Atlanta Hawks are off to their best attendance figures in years right now, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. These are facts, you can get all of this onfo on attendance from ESPN.com. It does sound like you are not happy here and the south isnt for everyone, but there must not be a lot wrong with it because where I live and have lived in the past is overrun with snowbirds and retirees from the north. Now , this cant be because of a lower cost of living. Florida is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. North Georgia is as well, you can research this on the internet. There is nowhere else I'd rather be than right here in this part of the world.
