That's a shame, because I think he would have been a great fit here. But if you want to much moolah that is what happens. Did anyone catch...

We'll see how they sell, that is the true gauge, not some dumb poll on a board of Dolphins fanatics - many of whom are Blind Homers that...

DJ burying the Dolphins traditions is all I see. They have had the same colors, unis and logo in Pittsburgh for 60 or 70 years. I see no reason to...

Dude, if they are really good, they get drafted.....just sayin' :shifty:

It is what it is. I don't hate it, but I will miss my traditional Dolphins look. I understand this is a business, but Ross said when he came in he...

I do have to say I am more optimistic than I have been the last couple of years, but until they win on the field, I'm still holding back some.

Philbin's influence I surmise. It's very un-Ireland like.

When healthy he's pretty good. But it scares me, that he's coming off of knee surgery.

Now at least we know why the mock ups of the stadium design have those navy blue seats.....it all makes sense now. They disguise better than...

Well at least you're not blaming me.....I was just the messenger ! :lol:

This is my thinking too. I'm partially back on the Ireland bandwagon, but looking for a bump in the road. I still don't trust him.

Mandler is back at it with his good ol' boy homespun philosophy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fog0nlX2yDA Gotta love it. This made me laugh...

I read the same thing into that. It seems that Ireland just doesn't have the greatest people skills and it hurts him and in turn that means it...

and I gave examples of how fanbases act exactly like South Fla's in an earlier post, but they seem to just ignore those facts.

Especially when you are paying to see a losing, boring product. In hindsight, Parcells may have been the worst thing that could have happened to...

The real problem is that this losing era of the Dolphins is contributing to a loss of a whole generation of fans. There are kids growing up now,...

I've thought the same thing - the man who will benefit the most is Mr. Hartline. He will have the pressure off of him "to be the man", and will...

Well most businessmen that ignore their customers as much as the Dolphins have for the last few years run into the same problems you are seeing...

They were in the top 10 most years in capacity % until a few years ago - averaging over 90% capacity every year. People just want to use a...

These last two are HUGE factors, and unpopular to believe on this board, but people need to stop putting their heads in the sand. Whether they...

But Miami is made up with 74% of its population born somewhere else than Miami, yet you don't want to give them the same leeway. And dude, you...

Yet you live in a town with the Lions. But yet complain about people in South Fla who don't go to games. I wonder how many of these others that...

Poorly planned ? Hmmmm, my experience with Miami (Metro Miami) is its easier to navigate than a lot of places. The numbering system used here...

Last year maybe, but not over a 10 year period. Taking one year or even just the last couple is not fair sampling. How about 2008 when we had...

They also have a population of nearly 10,000,000 to draw from and their stadium only holds about 65,000, which is about 10% less than our stadium....

Check out Fenway this year dude, they have tickets for sale. Same will happen in Yankee Stadium this year if they play like crap. It's not just here.

Because many of the people who aren't from here suffer from a love / hate relationship with the Dolphins and South Fla.

For me, no. I am nearly 53 years old. I'd rather sit at home now in A/C with my feet propped up and drinking a beer that doesn't cost me more than...

And the Cubs popularity is actually a relatively recent thing. If you look at Cubs attendance figures from the 1970's and 1980's they usually only...

And I read that for the 1st time in quite a few years, the Red Sox actually will have game day tickets available for sale. What happened ? I...

Miami is never going to be that town, so why do you kvetch over it ?

That only happens in a few markets. Even in NY the Jets only sell out if they are doing well. The Giants sell out no matter what. Then again their...

No it doesn't. It makes it a SMART sports town. They won't tolerate or support complacency and incompetence in their ownership, GM, coaches or...

A f*cking men

Well they already have done that for the most part. Last year ST's were down to about 46,000 and this year they estimated about 39,000 last time I...

Actually many of them are. Gone are the days of Philanthropy and the rich understanding because of their wealth they have a responsibility towards...

I agree with you, if you have an adequate OLine, we don't and I think Fasano helped cover some of that up. Don't be fooled that our line is great....

Se my post above.....Long was still our best OLineman even when the system didn't suit him best, he was that good (when healthy). Others that...

The Bush TRADE (not pick-up he was not a FA), was a bad deal because there was a FA in Darren Sproles that was there for the taking, and didn't...

Sir you have a way of condecending in your manner that is almost unbearable at times. I am fully aware of this team, and its "situations", as I...

Other NFL owners don't have to deal with a tax/fan base that feels as if its been had for $ 600 million for the Marlins Park, and $ 500 million...

Really ? He hasn't shown me much yet. He overpaid for the team & stadium because he "just had to have it". If he had paid the true value of the...

Exactly. This is a waste of his money. Money he could put forth in getting the stadium done. I just don't understand why he doesn't take out a...

Always the excuses, time has come for those to stop.

Then why did they go out and get him ? He was the same in New Orleans, and it didn't change here. So where did the talent evaluation go wrong ?...

yeah but the OLine has regressed as well as at DB. That I think almost evens everything out. Not sure I can be that optimistic that so much has...

And the season ended with a 3-6 record the last 9 weeks, and a dubbing of almost epic proportions in New England. The team showed no spunk or...

That could be a very concerning stat if it doesn't improve dramatically.

Only if the LA stadium is built, and that is not a certainty.

Seriously ? You really think many of them care about any sports team ? A lot of them aren't even from this country and have no idea who the Miami...

Well I agree with you on that. I was a season ticket holder last year, but refuse to ever buy a season ticket until Loria sells or dies.

Because the tourist tax takes years to accumulate, and in the meantime, its NOW money that is needed to pay for contractors, materials and labor...

But that $ 200 million won't be raised overnight, in the meantime its the taxpayers that have to pay and tack cutbacks in the county services or...

It's not as easy as that. If it was even I might be in favor. That tax won't raise the $ 200 million for about 10 years, so in the meantime it has...

Well he can always sell - he doesn't have to do anything. Good luck in getting your money back Ross.

Great sketch, and I miss Kids in the Hall.....especially Buddy Cole, as played by Scott Thompson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XIxgGl3vE4 My...

There is already a 6% tax on top of sales tax on hotel rooms in Miami-Dade.

Well I haven't seen the Chargers being threatened. Their taxpayers have made it clear to their politicians not to spend money that way. In...

Have you been to those areas ? Tell me if they benefit from it. I would say an emphatic no.

Not so, but then you don't care, so why post ?

Unless the tax generates the $ 200 million any shortfall has to be paid from somewhere. If there is another economic downturn, here or in Europe...

Well the contractors need to be paid before 10 years so no, you need the money up front. It has to come from somewhere.....and that will be the...

The state legislature gave someone a $ 60 million dollar tax benefit. Only $ 30 million was used on the refitting, so there is $ 30 million still...

There are two NL parks ahead of the Marlins, and maybe a third I am not sure if PNC Park in Pittsburgh has hosted yet. So the earliest I could see...

That actually is incorrect. When the stadium was reconfigured in 1992 for baseball, Huizenga was granted a $ 60 million dollar future tax...

There was no PROMISE, because the Marlins can't promise that since its MLB that decides that. There was only "the possibility" would be better.

It makes sense to you, but I am guessing you are not a taxpayer in Miami-Dade correct ? Do you own property here ? If you did, I am guessing you'd...

And add to that list ahead of us are Washington and Citi Field in Queens. Those places will host before Miami gets one. Minnesota also will be...

It's a waste of taxpayer money to have this stupid vote.....Ross needs to ante up and pay for it already. This is just an exercise in futility.

Well to be honest we were never promised anything. There is always the possibility, and eventually they will have to give us one. I just think it...

Yes it is, and in spite of that, they had better crowds in Miami than any other WBC venue, which I found incredulous, but they were there, you...

Actually they are in line for an All-Star Game before us, even though we've had baseball here for 12 years longer. Because they built their...

Sure we love having the team. But this is about MONEY. Of which the owner has BILLIONS - enough to pay for it himself instead of asking ordinary...

Not really. Unless you are one of the 1,000 or so who work at the stadium, your life is unaffected by it. Most, if not all of the players, team...

Even if they pay a penny for renovating a stadium that is PRIVATELY OWNED its too much. This is Ross' property, and he stands to benefit, not some...

See the Adrienne Arsht Center please...... [ http://www.arshtcenter.org/ ]

Well I already have stated that tourist funds weren't enough to cover the costs of the Arsht Center and Marlins Park so the taxpayer is already...

That's what we heard about the Marlins stadium and that turned out to be a lie. True the general revenue fund is not paying the Marlins...

Only would vote for it, if Ross agreed to have this as a loan, otherwise, you own the stadium, you pay for it yourself Ross, because I have heard...

Thanks Shou :up:

I too have purchased t-shirts for all the grandkids (all 13 of them) , and my wife and daughters in law. My sons and I got polo shirts and office...

Any one that can own Brady I want on this team

That would work for me, only if its a reasonable contract.

This is a must signing. Get it done Ireland.

True we get to see them in action a week early

That's what NFL Sunday Ticket is all about ! :wink2:

Ross takes a nice shot at Huizenga, when he says "He spent $ 250 million, and when you look at the stadium, you wonder where he spent it." Zinger...

Are you sure he owns the land ? I thought it was leased to Robbie (all 160 acres) at $ 1 a year. Did he or Huizenga buy it ?

or if not there, then Ertz in the 2nd if he is there

Which is the greater part of being a GM. So far Ireland has been mediocre at best, hence our mediocre record.

Yep the excuses for the Ireland apologists are running out.....this is more and more nothing but Ireland players & decisions.

However its looking more & more likely, meaning Ireland will have drafted 3 out 6 of his 1st round picks on OLinemen, and its still not going to...

If Ireland misses on Winston or another quality LT/RT what good does it do us to have signed Wallace ? Tannehill running for his life or worse...

not sure about that, I would think we have to pay more, as these agents will think we're desperate now.

Well hopefully we'll win, but I almost guarantee Jake won't be winning. With SF & Seattle in your division.....good luck for the next 4 years...

Exactly, to just absolve Ireland because he's signed a couple of free agents, is the blind homerism coming to the fore. Yes you need to give...

Best way to beat the Pats ? Hire a hit man to take out Brady & Bellicheat. Problem solved.

DJ :wink2: that's an insult to Publix Eggnog which is pretty damn amazing, something that player is nothing close too.

That's unacceptable for a GM that has been here 5 years and going into his 6th draft. You guys can shluurp him all you want, I still think he's...

the national media won't. they're in bed with Brady and Bellicheat, and with sexy Rexy.....they hate the Dolphins.

Well its the national media doing their best to hate on the Dolphins.....nothing new with that. If they can't laugh at us and make us a butt of a...

I hate this "South Beach" crap too.....it's nothing more than a small neighborhood in the City of Miami Beach, nothing more. Until a few years...

Well I'm glad we didn't pay either amount.

Greg Jennings to Vikings - 5 yrs $ 37.5 million

yeah I wanna see the numbers on this.

I know its really ridiculous to try to be a Mel Kiper Jr. Let the people on TV do that, just enjoy being a fan, a husband and a father.

I'm getting the felling that this FA offense means a lot of defense draft day

I agree and if we lose Bess and this guy is more expensive.....that'll be a minus not addition.

Good for Brian. He's being smart and planning for the future. I've always liked this dude, as a person. Sure he's not the most awesome football...

I'm all in on that

Or sizing up what it looks like to be a stockboy......

Well what did we expect ? We got a couple of days of clarity and smart thinking, and then he, well........turned back into Ireland.

Just a continuation of bad drafting, starting with the latter years of Don Shula. It's been 20+ years since this franchise has has "one of those"...

I'm cautiously optomistic that Ellersbe is an upgrade and not just a product of the Ravens system. That worries me more than anything. That draft...

Couldn't agree more, Ireland yesterday started me restoring faith in him. He did turn a corner.

Not a bad move IMO. He was a bad FA signing as he never lived up to the money he was being paid. Never once that I can recall, changed a game.

Well Jeff missed on Cook.....who is the next TE on the list or does that become a draft priority ?

I think all of this makes it probably LIKELY we draft an OLineman in the 1st, to replace Long.

Well we've been waiting years now. I am still holding back a little. Just last year the Marlins went for broke, and now their owner says he's...

Still that's an upgrade over Fasano

Reports are that the Vikings and someone else, are in on the bidding.

And so what ? Most of the Vikings are probably elsewhere today other than Minneapolis. This is a non-factor really, especially since they play...

and expect 7-9 once again. If you are going to be that conservative, don't b!tch about not getting into the playoffs. Most of the teams that make...

Also said that on their "Draft Special" Fat *** Parcells and Bill Polian said that Revis is going to ask for at least $ 15 million and maybe as...

May not get the chance at Revis, but none of us would cry about that. I saw this morning on Mike & Mike, Schefter said that Jets are looking very...

Well I wasn't really talking about his running back abilities I guess. I thought he could have been used more as a pass catcher out of the...

This is certainly different..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56y3m25Vig8

This morning Joe Rose is reporting on WQAM that Mike Wallace will be signed tomorrow by your Miami Dolphins. Take it for what its worth.

He might want that, but doesn't mean he'll get it. I think he gets no more than $7.5.

That is entirely possible

I thought this man was so underutilized while he was here. Such a shame. I just hope he doesn't go to the Patzies and run like 2,000 yards and 15...

Yeah, didn't that team have like 17 or 18 former 1st round picks on it ?

Exactly, we saw what that did for us last year.....I am pleasantly pleased so far if the reports are true. It looks like Ireland actually got the...

No, it was one of my 1st thoughts upon hearing about it. And its a great move if that is what they do with him. Right now its a win-win for us in...

Who can also be GREAT trade bait either later this year, or next off-season. Liking this more and Moore :wink2:

Excellent point

Well many of them have been. Checked our record the last 4 years ?

I'm with you, in not having much faith in Ireland, but so far he hasn't hurt the team significantly, but then he hasn't really improved it yet,...

Right, as nice as its been so far, remember he has signed two players & franchised another one that helped the Dolphins to a 7-9 record last year....

I saw it was for $8 million so I am assuming its a two-year deal.

Sign and trade agreement perhaps, with another team ?

He was wide open for at least 3 more last year, but our rookie QB overthrew him. So it's not all his fault he had just one last year.

Well if we don't we all know who we can blame.....and when it comes to that guy, I don't have my hopes up too high. I just hope he doesn't think...

Yeah, if he was even a 180. You could tell he looked a bit smaller than 2011's version of Hartline.

Exactly just leave the race part out of it. Look I can't talk x's and o's, this route or that route, or this coverage kind vs that kind......I'm...

I criticize Ireland a lot, but this is one thing he's done right in my opinion and I for one can't understand the negativity towards Hartline,...

I agree I think a lot of his problems were the result of his having to lose all of training camp and loss of strength due to that. I think he...

I agree, to me Jennings is just too old and ripe for rapid decline syndrome. No way I want to give him big money. He has FA Bust written all over him.

Doesn't change anything......we still need a playmaker with that 1st pick. This pick needs to be someone that can change a game. But knowing...

No DJ this is Miami-Dade taxpayers, many of which don't give a damn about any sports teams, speaking their minds with their tax dollars. Ross...

Well we'll find out, because if this does go to a vote, its going to be a very, very decisive vote against - I predict something like 80-85%...

Well if you question that then Ireland can be blamed and those supporters of his won't have any of that. Truth is no one knows, and probably never...

I'd like to remind everyone that his time in Cleveland was not a mirage. And unless Bledsoe gets hurt, history may be very different. Not saying...

This is what good GMs do, make these kinds of calls. Here's a chance for Ireland to show us he's a star GM, instead of the brain-fart many of us...

This is what I remember too, but revisionist history is a specialty around here.

Has the deal been signed yet ?

But does it make the most sense for us ? Not sure about that.

You could look at it this way my friend, if signing Hartline is a contributing factor to Ireland leaving after this season, isn't resigning him a...

However outside of Hartline, Ireland's track record for bringing in WR's is pretty lame. That is unless you think Bess was his guy, which then...

DJ I have to defer to you on that, I don't have the time right now to follow the combine / draft as much as I'd like to because of a sick...

Ertz or Eifert - Ireland gets one of them (especially if its taking those two # 2's and getting one of them in the 20's of the 1st round) then...

This could also mean he needs it simple because he is still raw and learning. Doesn't necessarily mean he's a dolt.

It's what the FREE MARKET dictates. This is capitalism at work, what's wrong with that ?

If Ireland does, then he can say goodbye to his job. Even Clueless Stephen will finally get wise enough to do that.

And we haven't determined our cap space totally yet either. Yes by tagging Soliai and signing Hartline, some of our space is gone, but we will...

The thing is Hartline has proven he can at least play in this league. Not great, not a # 1, but he can play. Any draft pick is a gamble, and may...

I agree. I heard on Joe rose this morning from Jeff Darlington that he believes Wallace is the intended target. Darlington also said he believes...

Very well said. :up:

Why is it you think that is what is going to happen ? It's that kind of attitude that prevents our society getting beyond this asinine problem....

Because as clueless as Ireland is, his owner is that much more clueless.....that's how. :pity:

If he had been our starter last year and stayed relitively healthy all season, I think we win at Buffalo & against the Jets early in the season...

Did exactly the same thing. My 1st thought was which GM would be arrogant and dumb enough to do something so stupid......Jeff Ireland was the only...

Post of the Month ! :up:

By the way most teams have no more than 15 they said on NFL Sirius radio channel, and were laughing about how the Dolphins have 55 there and still...

Well there are many that think he did ZERO when the Fat One was here.....he's not responsible for anything until 2 years ago.

Where in So Cal ? Wife and I are thinking of moving to be close to our kids & grandchildren, who have relocated there in the last 6 months. My son...

Pro Days are notorious for setting the 40 at like 38½ or 39 yards.......helps their players out.

Claymore, any interest in Rugby ? Big fan here - Leinster in Pro12, Harlequins in Premiership, Castres in Top 14 and Highlanders in Super Rugby....

Was Finley INACTIVE for all but the last game of that season ? Did he play in more than one game ? After seeing some of those guys yesterday in...

That is awesome and wish they went for this look too. I'm dreading what we're about to see.

But he didn't post anything of ANY information, he said He knows something and will confirm it later. What the hell is that ? It's nothing - it...

Smoke and mirrors. Cat and mouse game. I think this is actually maybe smart on their part, if only the guy they really are targeting is affordable...

I wasn't questioning his source credibility, I was questioning his reasoning for making a pointless post. The only thing that post could have been...

Fine then say it, don't just drop a line about "I know something and then don't say what it is". It's nothing more than just trying to puff his...

So you respond with foul language. :pity: I called you out because your post was needless. It was like a schoolchild - I know a secret and I...

Vague enough that if something happens this guy gets credit because he'll make sure we know it, and if it doesn't we all forget about this post....

Not if he is going to be greedy and unsignable after 5 years. What did that Pro Bowl tackle actually get us ? What playoff wins did we have while...

It's because the Ireland supporters just will never give up on the idea that while Parcells was here he was the almighty dictator and Ireland did...

But yet people here will defend Ireland with their last drop of blood. I don't get it.

Well this is the problem a LOT OF US have had for years now with Ireland. He is WAAAAAAAAY overrated as a talent evaluator. His draft picks I...

I wish this could be pinned and every Ireland supporter is forced to read this once an hour, so it gets drilled into them. Ireland was DEFINITELY...

and that is pretty awful, and is the true downfall of the Dolphins organization. Until we can get a GM that is capable & competent we'll continue...

Eric Kumerow, Jackie Shipp & Billy Milner could all be considered much worse.

While I'm not down with that, on hindsight, it was a colossal mistake pick. It should have been Ryan and we all know that, even those that won't...

It's the Underwear Olympics. I will only watch if there is nothing else on.

Last year's FA wasn't even good enough to be called horrid. 8 of 9 free agents didn't even make the squad or some ridiculous number close to that....

I saw this and now I'm thirsty. :up:

Just another sign of how unaware this franchise has become. They supposedly have been working on this for more than a year and don't have it ready...

I love how Pete calls everyone out, and tells the truth. His belch is funny too

I thought Magic Johnson's consortium that bought the Dodgers had gotten the go-ahead to build the stadium ?!?!?!?

What do you expect ? Free Agency doesn't even really start til sometime in March.

With no specific promises of any Super Bowls from the NFL, why should we do it ? Make the NFL sign it in paper, on a contract, we have to have a...

Dude if you believe the Cardinals were selling out in Tempe or even in Glendale except for the Super Bowl season, you are on crack. Dude the only...

Because DJ, when it comes down to it, are the Dolphins, the U or any other sports teams really that important ? I dare say most of the citizens of...

also people could argue, that if you can raise this money from tourists why spend it on a privately owned stadium, when you can raise this money...

No doubt the Hurricanes have synergy right now, but that is due more to winning and having a senior laden team than because of the building. The...

That's a fairly recent phenomenon though. If you start winning, they will come back. Example is 2008 season tickets were at 48,000 coming off of a...

I agree Hartline should have been signed to a team friendly extention 2 years ago

Exactly. Young has gotten us exactly where DJ ? I'll take veteran leadership at the right price over prospects.

It would be unless you have Jeffy in charge. Then it just deflates any good feelings. Actually this could be even worse. He's got more to **** up...

Noooo. They just got rid of a diva in Marshall, why take on another one ?

Well this is actually what I see happening. We renovate the stadium, and then he sells it for a profit, and the taxpayers get nothing from that...

Dude, it's not like Ross doesn't have the money to do it himself.......if he is that stupid, then he deserves an empty stadium.

The NFL is never going to do that, so that is why this is such a bad idea. Ross needs to just do it himself.

Awwww c'mon DJ, did the City of Miami suddenly become a no-where when we didn't get a SB from 1979-89 ? Miami actually had phenomenal growth in...

DJ I still can't get over that it is a privately owned facility. Why should the public be forced to tighten their budgets with cuts to their...

yeah, the vote will be over 75% no.....almost can guarantee it.

This is what the gullible ones here don't get. Miami is not getting that SB50 no matter what. The NFL has been dying to get a SB back in...

word is he told his agent to not even listen and they haven't offered because they have this information.

Well he will get traded it's just a matter of when. He will not be here by the end of the 2014 season and that is almost a guarantee.

By the way many of the kids on here probably have no idea what you mean about the hankies......it's been so long since we did that. If I were Mike...

and the banjo song.....it's tradition !

But you also can't absolve him either. That this becomes just one more headache for Philbin and Coyle can't be good.

and it means the 2009 draft is basically gone and a bust.

Just saw this tweeted......

You could just tell he was going to be an impact player.....but I am happy we have THill, I really do feel he's gonna be a great player for us,...

Well no matter the strength, we have to take them, on. So let's go and get'r done. Go Phins !

Those guys really know how to make friends don't they ?

No it's because they have always been so secretive, that it causes people to speculate. We never get a full story on anything. and there is ZERO...

and that worries me. Can Philbin survive that ? If Philbin gets canned because Ireland didn't get him enough talent, it will really make me lose...

But don't the Blind Jeffy Loyalists believe that White was all Parcells ?

I noticed that too......he seems to want to continue that because if he tells it enough, he thinks everyone will believe it. Sorry Ireland, we...

I thought the best commerical (in a very lame collection this year) was the Goat / Doritoes commerical. Unless I missed it, there wasn't a single...

Was a great game. I thought that failed punt conversion was going to come back to haunt John Harbaugh, but his team pulled it out in the end. Was...

Eifert is music to my ears.

I thought this quote was interesting.......

doesn't Ireland always do a big local media interview in Indianapolis every year ? Seems to me he has done that in the past at the combine.

Ireland = Clown - anything he says just makes me shake my head.

This. Serpico I agree with you a lot of the time but this is not one of them.

Because it is the professional thing to do. I actually gained some respect for the franchise because of this. And I LOATHE and HATE Parcells and...

The Marlins no longer have teal in their color scheme. So it's still a mystery unless we know if he was talking about the old Marlins color scheme...

Well navy blue is not a good color for South Fla.....what are these people thinking ? Just leave the colors alone - all white for games here in...

so then last year what was the plan ? You cannot trade Marshall and not replace him. It was unfair to your team to put them at such a disadvantage.

It comes down to if you really believe without Sherman here, would Ireland have picked Tannehill at # 8. I don't believe he would have.

Watch.....just watch. We thought Matt Flynn was a slam dunk too. It's not just Ireland though, it's Jennings too. I want him here, but not with a...

How expensive would he be ? That could be interesting and have a great lockeroom & veteran prescence

Mandler, the meathead Dr Phil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkNafa7U8Tk Homespun philosophy at its best :yes:

You make a lot of sense my friend. It's Dan Marino's private affair and it should have stayed that way. He is still a hero of mine.

Are you kidding me ? :pity:

No I am not shocked - not in the least. I have met quite a few present & former athletes due to my eldest step-daughter being married to a former...

It's just intrusive into the private business of someone else. No need to always bring up the salacious things public figures do. He reports NFL...

Mods can we delete this thread please. It's really no one's business but the Marino's and Mrs Younis the child's mother. Not everything reported...

This is always the fear.

You can get bargains in Dallas and Atlanta too.

You can't take anything Andy Cohen writes too seriously. He's a paid shill for the Dolphins. He writes for MiamiDolphins.com. You think he's going...

yeah in this market you need to add $ 2 million to that to get a nearly 5,000 sq ft house. People talk about how its great there is no state...

Look at what happened in Philadelphia the last two years when they went all in on FA. Reid got canned. That is the latest example of a team built...

Because Mr Ross said we need to win, and now. Although I do agree we are and have been in rebuild mode since Philbin got here, its just now...

And all with Jeff Ireland at the helm, the man that picked the players that put us in this position in the 1st place. :up:

Pads, according to Mr Ross we are not rebuilding. He has said he wants to win now. Now either he is lying and we are rebuilding or Ireland has...

Exactly.....this is the beginning of negotiations.

Believe it or not, I back Ireland on this one. Guys, right now this is Reggie's agent talking. This is the way negotiations begin.

I think it's mostly agent talk at this point. In a month and we're still hearing this, then I will think its true.

Not at all. Maybe the reincarnation of Josh Turner. Actually I dedicate this to my late wife. Today would have been our 34th anniversary. This...

That sounds like a man that is statisfied. He "liked" the group. A no talent group. This is the man entrusted for this big year. He liked that...

If Chad Ochocinco was his plan, then anyone and everyone should see Ireland is very deficient as a talent evaluator. I shudder to think what will...

Then he shouldn't have traded Marshall without a plan to replace him.

What did I say was wrong ? He said we have 4's 5's and 6's, and he also did say we need them to step up. I challenge you to rewatch it. He did say...

His failure to replace Marshall showed everyone he was statisfied. Boy everyone is just getting soft on Ireland all of a sudden.

No he did say he expected them to step up. Don't bully me.

and the rest of it is, he said "We need them to step up". don't take it out of context. He was satisfied they WOULD step up.....he expected it.

Guess you missed Hard Knocks.....he sat there and told Peter King. Rewatch it, and see if he doesn't say, "We just have to have 4's, 5's and 6's...

I'm grateful he does too, but its his private property, and let him do it with his own money. Don't ask citizens to do without firemen, policemen...

Also to add both Colts Super Bowl wins were in Miami, and in adverse weather. Back in Jan 1971, the Colts beat Dallas and that was cold and rainy...

I guess you haven't noticed, but the Super Bowl, no matter where it has been played, has started about 6:20pm EST for the last 20 or so Super...

The only problem with Santa Clara is the distance from San Francisco itself. It's much closer to San José. I believe its close to 50 miles from SF...

and let him pay for it.....its private property, of which HOPEFULLY the county wisely doesn't wish to own. I hope that proposal to sell it or...

DJ I can't believe you are this naïve - he's doing this for the fans ? Really ? How many Dolphin fans will go to the Super Bowl unless we play in...

Ross can get the NFL to help out. He can secure loans. He doesn't need to take money away from police, firemen, and teachers to get his...

Well DJ I sure would like the county to pay for renovations to my house too. Start with the bathrooms which haven't been redone since it was built...

yet last year he thought that "4's, 5's and 6's" would be enough. Someone please make it stop.......:tantrum:

Please answer

No doubt it will be back here, but 50 is going to Santa Clara. If you are fooled into believing otherwise Ross must wish you are on the Dade...

51 is a good bet, but 50 is a pipe dream. I think Ross knows this, but he wants those renovations done as quickly as possible. I think he believes...

Yeah but they can get bored if they see one place too many times. Trust me, no matter what, Santa Clara is getting that Super Bowl. If you...

It won't, Santa Clara is getting that Super Bowl - bank on it. The NFL has wanted a Super Bowl in San Francisco for years. We only got the last...

Or he turns out like most of Irelands picks....mediocre hence the 7-9's every year

Zach Thomas for past, Brian Hartline for the present. Zach I think everyone can understand, but I guess I should explain before I get a lot of...

I know I would kill to just be in that game, even if I knew we would lose, just to make it to another AFC Championship......oh well :pity:

How about a-hole Bellicheat not doing his interview with Steve Tasker following the game ? CBS & other networks pay $ 600 + million this year for...

Well unfortunately THAT stadium has never been empty. It opened in 2002 I believe. But yes they are front-running phonies in that town. I remember...

An argument can be made about that.

Alex Smith was a free agent. His contract with San Fran had expired.

Brady really crapped the bed in the 4th today

Excuses, excuses....they are for losers. So far that's been Ross' MO.

Especially when there are so many fat over-hyped OLinemen for him to drool over.

Oh wow, go "All Loria" aye ? :shifty:

He should have given him anything. This is not about settling and being happy coming in 2nd. Dude this league is about winning, and Jim Harbaugh...

I thought he was dead.....maybe he is and CBS forgot to tell him ?

and his midget co-hort Lou "I never cheated I swear it" Holtz. Can you imagine Holtz, Berman, Sharpe and senile Greise on a panel show ? You...

True, he is just so ****ing smug.

Griese is just an old fart, he can't help it, but he is really, really bad on the pre-season games on TV and then during the regular season games...

Hate him with a passion and he being the nasty, stinkin', rotten Jests fan he is, he hates the Dolphins and makes fun of them as much as he can....

Or facist state or theocracy as well......no thought other than the "official" opinion is allowed to exist.

well he did say also that it would contain an orange sunburst, so that will remain a feature. He hinted it might be closer to the 1966 logo than...

Oh no, not Gerard again, tell me it ain't so ?

Story gets even more bizarre as today goes on. Has he cleared up the discrepencies in his story ? Because there are quite a few of them.

Mike Dee just stated a few minutes ago on Joe Rose's show that any logo already seen is not the new logo. Nothing has been leaked.

Add to that the fact that he is a Mormon, and we all know how they feel about homosexuals.

Very strange and why hasn't the national media picked up on this bigtime ? It looks like the "protect Notre Dame" machine is in full force to kill...

Well he didn't want it to come out. It came out because Deadspin reporters went looking. My brother (who is gay) said to me last night he got...

Not with what I saw of Barkley this year. 3rd round maybe, definitely if he dropped to the 4th, but that won't happen. Someone will take him...

I can't agree more DJ and I miss that old gal more each and every season.

and that is why he is on those preseason games. He already is employed by the Dolphins. And yes he needs to be fired.

No doubt, but I can guarantee that at least 12-15,000 more will show up if they win.

That'w why so many wanted the old Orange Bowl upgraded......if you ever saw a game there, Dolphins or Hurricanes and the place was...

Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to this.....not at all. I'm just saying that this is all window dressing unless you attack the fundamental...

Oh boy....... 1st lower ticket prices. You will sell more. If your customers are not buying at this price, you lower them. It may make the losing...

Nobody goes to their games as it is, why expand it ?

we weren't talking about where they play, but the training facilities. That would cost less than $ 20 million I am sure. The present facility was...

I don't know, that is a very, very sticky question that Shalala is probably asking as well. They may have to be compensated by the Dolphins, and...

It was only built 3 years ago......not great but it could possibly do for 1 year.

I have thought the same thing. With that money and this, they could have spent $ 750-800 and built DJ's new place.

Not that much.......the present Dolphins facility cost less than $ 10 million.

Buffalo had thousands of empty seats this year even for the NE game. This crap about how all other fans are more loyal has to STOP. Fans aren't...

I guess you haven't watched many Raiders games the last few years have you ? They have had an almost empty top deck for at least the last 4 or 5...

people had no problem going to the games when they were winning, and if you win, people will go. Some people just refuse to see this as a...

Well no you are wrong. That was a CITY OF MIAMI vote, and had nothing to do with the voters of Miami-Dade County. Only the voters of the City of...

Do you live here ? Do you know that it isn't or that maybe people are just sick and tired of paying money for a team that can't get its act...

DJ when anything comes from Mike Dee, I have to always take it with a grain of salt. He has no loyalty to South Fla. He is about getting Super...

Win and that will change. And I have to challenge some of those numbers. 67,000 is larger than almost all the other stadiums, so how can we be...

If you look at my responses in the thread I mention the 2002 vote for the bed tax. The Marlins deal was all county & city of Miami commission...

FIU Stadium is closest, and it holds about the same as FAU. I don't know if it was deliberate to forget about FIU or not.....

Well to me, on the surface of what was proposed today, he needs to go back, and rethink it more - I as a Miami-Dade voter will make whoever votes...

Well if the taxpayers or tax is to be coming from Miami-Dade County bed tax then the county needs to do what the city of Miami did to the Marlins,...

The one thing the politicians got right in the Marlins deal, was making the Marlins responsible for any and all cost over runs. With those...

Just like in the Marlins deal.

This is very true, and I am sure Ross has already calculated this. I wonder if this is a way he is setting things up for an exit ? He doesn't...

Again I will say the voters never voted on the Marlins Park deal. It was done from a hotel tax that was voted on by the public in 2002, way before...

There is already a 1¢ per $ 100 bed tax that has raised almost $ 1.2 billion since 2002. About $ 400 million of that went to play for the Marlins...

Well that is not what I have heard, at least on the 1st part. The Marlins stadium "supposedly" is being funded mostly by a hotel tax that was...

Also the Marlins plan was never put to a public vote. It was all done in city & county commision meetings. To me, Ross selling the stadium is a...

I'll never forget that night when that creep Carroll did that......I've really loathed him since.

The Dolphins already have their own ½ hour show, called "Dolphins All Access" hosted by Jesse Agler and some gal (forget her name) on every week...

Well Tannehill/Moore/Garrard battle made the team attractive last year. Also embattled Ireland was something many could be compelled to watch. TV...

Devlin as # 2 and draft someone in the 3rd or 4th rounds area. If you are going all in on the turnover of the roster, do it here as well. I'd...

I think Jennings is just too old to be the dynamic player we need. I think if you can sign Jennings you still need to draft a young dynamic WR,...

Well it's only speculation but I really don't think Hard Knocks was Philbin's idea last year. From the kind of person I believe him to be, that...

Free ? Usher ? Ticket taker ? Vendor ?

That's interesting. Sparano was definitely fired ? Right ?

No way.

I agree I said at the time to my wife, they (Denver) could regret this, and by golly it came back to bite them in the ***.

Awesome dude ! :up:

What's getting me is reading about how many of you guys have only been to one or two games.....holy moly I thought most on here had at the least...

Excellent and well deserved.

Wannstedt = Franchise Obliterator

I'm wondering how diminished "the circus" surrounding him might be from now on. He still causes conversation, but its mostly snide and derisive...

Why did Westoff get let go ? His contract was up, and the Genius that is Wannstedt wanted bring in his buddy Mr Armstrong. So he just lets one of...

That dude with the long hair.....I want to be blind now.

I'm 6ft 2, and 225 and could squat for reps twice my bodyweight at one time.......those days are long gone....:pity: can someone pass the nachos...

especially since we need playmakers at that position. The Jeffy supporters can't really answer that one.

Indy seemed to find quite a few in last years draft, and so did Washington. It seems many here are satisfied with just being plain mediocre. "So...

His job is on the line, and that would have been just more fuel to the fire.

(Andy Reid on the phone) Hey Jeffy Ireland I have this great deal for you......... :tantrum:

Andy Reid has that kind of magic, and how many teams has he fooled with trading mediocre to bad QB's to other teams for picks ? I know we were a...

It happens when you sign a 2 year contract and you finish it......

This is not normal if you are a competent GM.

My 1st Dolphins game was Bob Greise's start against Denver in 1967. We got the tickets for $ 5 a piece from a special deal at Kwik-Check (was...

Except this isn't Armando's opinion, it's supposedly one from a player.

Unless said player KNOWS Philbin feels this way too. Philbin may already want him gone, and Ireland has blocked his being cut, to save his own ***...

So naturally Genius picks him :pity:

I wish he has Mike Trout's talent & HEART !

:lol: :knucks:

That is what is so hurtful, because Ireland so far has turned two # 2's into so far, if he is cut, 2 years of (average) Marshall and a # 3 pick in...

What about Indy this year ? How many rooks did they have starting and or getting significant playing time ?
