By the way, I'm only referring to definition #2 on there. I have no idea what the first is even talking about.
Actually, the Eiffel tower makes more sense in this scenario...

In reality, there appear to be countless voices out there putting there names out in public, giving high praise to Dawn Aponte, and a meager few if any real voices condemning her, and those coming from nameless sources. No one has come out publicly to denounce her, and the only ones publicly denouncing the Dolphins FO are the media and the fans who are buying the BS.

Not even the disgraced Jeff Ireland has accused her publicly.

The accusations would seem to perfectly align with the amount of misogyny that we all know exists.

It would be fair to assume that the accusations of Aponte being a vindictive ***** are patently false.

The problem with the Dolphins FO was Jeff Ireland! It was never Dawn Aponte.

Every reputable source does nothing but praise her.

There is every sound reason to believe she is an asset.

 

I have no real opinion on the Aponte ****, but this is hilarious hahaha

 

My apologies on the golden gate bridge thing.

What I meant to refer to was the Eiffel Tower. Makes a lot more sense with Dawn being the "woman in the middle" and all.

It sounds to me that the accusers are the media because they don't really know what is going on. The Fins have committed to being more 'open' and have announced who and when they've interviewed. Guys like Beasley and Mando (La Canfora's source) don't have anything substantial to report, so they continue wallow in what they don't know, making stuff up...

 

She is not the capologist. She is the Vice President of Football Operations and she has no more or less power than any other Vice President of Football Operations. The index card thing has also been debunked in Club, btw, not that you'll care at all.

Dawn Aponte holds the same position and has the same power as Brian Weidermier once did. The only difference is ovaries.

Your continued argument and whining without having even the most basic of knowledge (like what her job actually is) is what is pathetic and intellectually lazy.

 

Jim, now you are pushing things here...first there is no evidence, other than Mando, who we all know got his info from a disgruntled former employee, that Aponte was writing what was on the cue cards. Using that method of 'getting your point across' is old school, but it's commonly done, except thru different methods now. Was there dysfunction between Ireland, Philbin, Aponte and Ross...yes. That dysfunction was characterized by Ireland as being against him and scheming to get him off the team...yea, coming from the guy that got fired, it might look that way. If there is blame for this situation, it has not been towards Aponte. And there are other organizations that have intermingled their owners' other businesses (stadiums, etc) with the FO and football folks. SF, Pitts, Cleveland, Oakland and likely others come to mind. It's not commonplace. Everyone seems to think that because Aponte handled the cap, that she had a say in who was acquired or at least wielded some authority, well it doesn't work that way. If she is as bad as they say, then why did Wallace sign a huge, huge contract ?? No one in the FO of last year is getting a free pass. They are all to blame, but they are also the ones, apparently, that are going to have to resolve that and work it out. Ross has made that decision except for who the GM will be. He's not going to can Philbin, Aponte and Gaine at this point, so get over it. Aponte doesn't seem to be problem here.

Now, if you don't like the fire that comes from Philbin, say so, but don't blame it on Aponte...

 

Hmmm....seems Farmer know's something about Aponte's time in Cleveland. I wonder what it could be?

 

lol. Let me repeat this.....she is not the capologist. She is vice president of football operations. Read that how many ever goddamn times it takes to sink in to your effing head.

You are making it sound like she is capologist who decided to do other stuff around the org. She is not, she is the vice president of football operations

But yeah, I'm the dimwit that can't read. Ok, jackass whatever.

 

There is certainly blame, most of it, imho is towards Ross. He's decided that he wants a 3 headed monster to oversee his football operations (and some of his other operations). The funny thing is, no one said anything about the power issues while Ireland was there. It was seemingly working. Ireland, who couldn't pick an OL out of the HOF is fired and suddenly it's Philbin and Aponte teaming up to get him fired?? I don't think so...I think the right guy was fired. There was likely a lot of dysfunction among the there, but it's also most likely that what has been thrown out in the press is from one side of that dysfunction. BTW, regarding the index cards, Philbin used them religiously when he was in GB according to one report (I just can't remember where that was at, but it came out early in this stuff by one of our own here on ThePhins)...

Personally, I think that the guys are bailing because of the way Ross is going about doing the interviews. I think depending on who he is interviewing and what qualifications they have, is how he explains the power structure to them. That would explain why there is a question by some of who is responsible for what in the organization on the FIRST interviews. Remember that was why Wooten of the FPA got involved until he spoke with Ross. Some of these guys will want "football czar" powers and Ross is bound and determined to NOT let that happen. That's what got us into this mess (in his opinion). I don't know what the answer is any more than anyone else on these boards but I think that the dysfunction is over blown and the process that Ross is using to get the guy hired he is comfortable with is causing the ongoing perception of that dysfunction. But that doesn't mean he's not doing it the right way...that remains to be seen.

 

No the **** you didn't. You said and I quote:

You can't even read what you effing post.

She is not the capologist who handles other internal situations, she is the vice president of football operation who handles the cap.

Practice thinking and reading.

 

I'm an asset guy all the way.

 

She is an Asset who has us $19,881,271 under the cap for 2014. With the need for an entire offensive line and holes everywhere. This will be an interesting year

 

Jesus christ, my issue is that your entire *****y little cry session was predicated on her exerting more power than a capologist should...when she is not the goddamned capologist. She is exerting the exact amount of power a vice president of football operations should exert which is the same amount of power that all vice presidents of football operations exert on their teams.

Until you understand/accept/acknowledge/grasp that very effing basic concept, you should probably shut the hell up about the topic and stop insulting everyone with your insipid drivel.

Since she's doing EXACTLY what a VP of football operations does, that means your continued hate campaign is either because she's a woman or you're off your meds.

 

Don't attribute to Aponte what was allowed by the new CBA. It's not difficult to be under the cap when the CBA allows you to roll over unused cap space from year to year.

 

Look at it from Farmer's POV... He feels like he's competent to run a FO. The bulk of GMs have say over the HC, staff and personnel. He wants that option, wants to bring in his own people that he's comfortable with. That's a reasonable response given the circumstances here that he won't get that ability here. There will be other options for him and meanwhile he should enjoy some continuity there for another 2-3 yrs. Afterall, he was part of the group that decided to can the HC after one season, so he may have reason to stick there...

I don't know his reasons any more than anyone else does or any of these guys reasons, although some are pretty sound (DeCosta, Gamble, for example). All I'm saying is that Ross is the only guy who'll get this worked out and he's still in that process.

What I don't get is why the local media is so anti-Dolphins in their reporting. Darlington was the last guy we had here with any scruples about them. I don't trust Jackson either, remember he was part of 'high-five gate' as well. Hyde is probably the only local guy here that isn't on another agenda. But when this storm gets stirred up about back-biting and in-house fighting by one guy, it just gets repeated round and round and no real substance is being reported...These guys are all reporting what the other wrote, not really getting to the bottom. And we all know that Ireland was in Mando's ear, but perhaps he was in Beasley and Jackson's ear after getting canned ?? Would that be a shock to anyone ?? If I were Ireland (God forbid), I can see where he thought that the was being used as the scape-goat for every loss this team has had since JJ left... He's had a hate-fill tenure from the local press and fans. No matter how you personally felt about Ireland, he was used as a reason for every bad move, every loss, every bit of dysfunction that ever came out about the Fins, particularly since Quitcells left... He's lashed out after being canned and can explain a lot of the bad press that has come out... It's just too easy to blame all the dysfunction on a person in the organization who is a capologist and accounting bean for Ross...

EDIT: No disrespect to accountants...they are a needed and necessary part of the organization...lol

 

Did Wiedermeyer report directly to the owner? How many VPs in the NFL report to the owner, not a football person?

I had a suspicion you were the type that liked to watch.

 

Dolphins are in the top 10 for cap space.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...-10-teams-with-best-2014-salary-cap-situation,

 

If it was that easy then every team would be under the cap.....

 

I'm aware. I'm stating there's a reason for that ahead of cap management that only Aponte somehow knows how to accomplish.

 

All I could find was on that was $7,000,000 unused last year.

 

Being able to roll over cap space doesn't negate bad decisions by overbearing owners or job-desperate GMs.

Jerry Jones would hit a $250 million cap if it existed.

 

And then count the amount of contacts coming off the books this year.

Having an incomplete roster with 8 starters' contracts expiring simultaneously is a quick way to free up cap space.
