Darlington reminds me of Ross from Friends..Kinda looks like a giraffe too.

I can't remember Darlington ever criticizing the team/coaches/decision makers....with the way he talks about us you'd think we were actually a successful franchise.

I guess he's just filling a role that hasn't been filled yet in the media. The guy that tells fans what they want to hear about the Dolphins instead of the truth. Capitalism at its finest.

No he wasn't. He acts as if Ireland is the worst GM of all time. He wasn't even the worst GM to work for the Dolphins.

Well when people around the league compare you to the worst of all time, that means you're pretty close.

You're our Jeff Ireland. Except he eventually left. Which you won't seem to do.

Makes one wonder what Omar's job is, then. Counter-balance?

LOL @ Ross growing up a Dolphins fan, that's BS

You do know his family moved from Detroit to Miami when he was a freshman in HS. Not much of stretch to think a 14-year old boy would adopt his new home town team.

Ross actually considered selling the team after he couldn't get funding for the stadium upgrades? Damn what a missed opportunity.

Omar is starting to remind me of Aziz Ansari's chubby little cousin Harris...

Or Hannibal Burress's room-mate who owns all those lizards. Way too many lizards.

if you think about it, every fan has a right to be pissed at our team..Im the kind of fan who will re- calibrate every year because the dynamics of football always change, and, logic tells me to take the past and project it onto the present team is illogical.

I don't get why you guys give LB such a hard time. He's bashing a bad team that he wishes was much better. Are we supposed to be happy or positive about a perpetually bad franchise?

Lol maybe. He did say that Tannehill's contract is team-friendly though. If I'm not mistaken we can opt out after two seasons. It's more of a pay as you go type of deal like Kaepernick and Dalton got.

Omark's job is to be as annoying as Skip Bayless. For some reason it sells.
