    His latest masterpiece.. After reading amateur hour with Omar Kelly, I decided to remove him from my Twitter feed. What a clown.

    http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...n-tannehill-20121003,0,236693.story?track=rss

    Is this guy blind or just plain stupid? Didn't he call Naane a poor mans Brandon Marshall?


    Love his exclamation points and professional writing skills. There are probably 20 people in these forums that have a better understanding of the game, are more logical and are far more eloquent this clown.

    Love what tools like Omar do.. If Tannehill blows up, nobody will remember this, if he fails, Omar can stand on his pedestal and say I told you so. Classic.

    True story. He once blocked someone on Twitter with zero tweets.

    He loves to act like an *** towards fans, but he can't take the heat when someone calls him out for it.

    I did exactly the same yesterday, can't be bothered reading his drivel anymore.

    I notice in the article he's also saying he "advocated for Tannehill to be picked" by us...ie. he's setting himself for a no-lose situation. Talking him down now so he can say he told us all if he fails, or saying he was the first to spot his talent if he's successful.

    I notice he's not said anything about how Matthews was only on the roster until we signed another receiver, and how we weren't seeing what he saw in Naanee so knew nothing...

    Arrogant, condescending *****

    I know more kelly?
    His arrogance lost me long ago. Sad since he is so directly involved with the Dolphins. If he was only half as smart as he thinks he is.

    Where's his love fest Naanee at?

    It's the talk radio host routine, and it's very effective in terms of driving site traffic at the sun-sentinel, which is what he gets paid for these days since print media started to die. If you don't like it, the thing to do is to stop mentioning the name altogether.

    Omar Kelly gets the best ratings of all the beat writers. Ultimately thats what matters the most.

    Goodness, sitting between Kelly and Rosenberg for 3 hours would certainly lead to an ice pick into the ear drum or insanity.

    Have had him removed from my twitter feed for months now. Heck I even roll my eyes when someone I do follow re tweets him. To help put his opinion into perspective he once tweeted he had "a man crush on Naanee". The guys "opinion" is useless.

    To be fair, most of the writers said that Naanee had a good camp. However when gametime came (during the preseason as well) he seemed to completely disappear... or do something that made him wish he'd disappear.

    At the end of the day, ratings are what the decision makers of these papers look at... and Omar Kelly is very good at driving traffic towards his respected site.

    I could care less what his decision makers think or do. I wouldn't wish for anyone to lose a job, including him. What I am saying is "opinions" or evaluation of the team or its players is generally piss poor. He gets paid to follow the team and report on these things. He needs to be better at his job in order for me, and from the sound of it many others to bother following him or even reading his articles. To top it off he makes it his mission to tell those that do follow him (Yes I did for a while) that he doesn't care what we think.

    So in short his opinions and evaluations are sub par and hes an a$$ to his followers. So why bother?

    Anyway JMHO =)

    Though what you say is true, the SunSentinel would do just as well replacing his work with different pictures of sets of ****. There's about as much journalistic integrity there.

    Because people still follow him on twitter and comment on everything he says in places like this. If everyone just ignored him, he would be gone.

    Nah because if he was he might have something interesting to say. If he is, it's bath salts.

    I think that's what he's shooting for at this point. Given the **** he writes and does on twitter.
