Dolfans still infected through Thanksgiving?

I’ve got the flu.  I shouldn’t travel on a plane without taking my Airborne and Echinacea, I know.  Should have realized I’d be sitting in front of the sneezer from hell.  But as so often happens, when bad stuff happens, something good emerges from the wreckage.  Sometimes it takes a while to recognize it, but…

As the late Jim Mandich might have said, “Let me reinsert my eyeballs!”, after Matt Moore had shredded the Kansas City defense while putting together an astonishing 147.5 passer rating. He might also have shouted “All Right MIAMI!!” at least four times on Sunday afternoon in Arrowhead Stadium. But on Monday, while discussing the game…

Henne out, Rosenfels in?

So, as expected, Chad Henne will have to undergo surgery for his separated shoulder and is out for the rest of the season.  Tough break for Henne who had shown signs of life under Coach Brian Daboll’s new offensive approach.  Tough for Tony Sparano also who’s job is on the line. The question now is,…

Upset, Frustrated and Angry

I thought I smelled an upset before the Chargers game. I realize now that what I smelled was how out of control upset I would get during the game and after it. Maybe I’m turning in to the Andy Rooney of Dolphin football fans.  Perhaps it’s the sixty minutes of frustration I endure each game…

Time for a Change, the Hot Seat is Quickly Heating Up

The Miami Dolphins are in a hole at 0-2. Opposing quarterbacks are usually in a big space having a field day, mainly throwing unhurried and unhassled. And Chad Henne is usually in a big crowd getting rid of the ball in a hurry, getting balls tipped, batted and intercepted. The Miami Dolphins are being out-muscled…

Benny Sapp Zapped out of Miami

According to Benny Sapp’s agent, the Miami Dolphins cornerback has been let go by the Dolphins after getting burned for two touchdowns against the Patriots Monday night.

Who is the real deep threat for Miami?

Look no further than the depth chart to work that one out.  The Dolphins are loaded at wide receiver and tight end.  There’s (count them) ten of them on the roster.  Six wide outs and four tight ends.  Five depending…
