Sssssssssssssssssssssssuper Bowl XLIX (that’s the sound of air leaking out of the title)

I can’t recall a Super Bowl where I have l less of an interest in the outcome of the game. I despise both teams, despise the Head Coaches of both teams, and especially the methods both teams choose to employ to circumvent the rules. We all hate Bill Belichick, somewhat because he’s a divisional foes Head Coach, GM and Emperor, and mostly because he’s a liar, and a cheater.

I also hate Pete Carroll, and it’s impossible for me to think of anything but him standing on the sidelines all smug with his hand to his neck pimping the choke sign to our kicker Pete Stoyanovich.

His players have racked up more suspensions, and have taken as many steroids and other PED’s as Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco combined.

BTW – Is this Superbowl Ex-Lax? (XLIX)  It is for me . . .

What I do look forward to is the delusional thought that after the SB, the Patriots will be hit with a severe punishment, suspending Palpatine, er Belichick for the entire season as a penalty for cheating. I think as Dolphins fans we all know that’s not going to happen. Justice will not be served against the Patriots, it never is!

After the SB, the next thing as a football fan is all the hoopla regarding the NFL Draft, which, BTW, is no longer in NYC, and will now be in Chicago, April 30 – May 2 in the Auditorium Theater. That will be different. No longer will we see the cretinous NY Jets fans yelling incoherent things before and after every pick. Instead, we might hear shouts of “Ditka!” or “Da Bears!”, or “Mini Ditkas!”. Who knows, it may actually be less entertaining, or it might be an improvement. We’ll find out soon enough, as it’s already January 29th, and April 30 is only 3 months away.

What about our Dolphins? Do we cut Mike Wallace? Hartline? Both? Do we trade back, or do we trade up? Do we take the BPA, or do we take our biggest need? What is our biggest need? O-line? (AGAIN!!!) DT? CB? LB? WR? TE? RB? Depending upon which players are sent packing, it all might change so fast, and new positions may end up clearly being the biggest need.

In any case,  I love the draft. Love it! There’s nothing like the promise of infusing potential young talent into your football team. As fans, most of us who really dig into the draft tend to compile our favorites, our “mancrushes” so to speak, and when we don’t get them (As is usually the case), we pout, we are petulant, and we lash out at our know-nothing GM (whoever it may be), and sit in dismay and utter disbelief that the scouting department, comprised of likely 30-50 very qualified people know substantially less than we do, especially since we watch a lot of college ball (not me), or because we read all the scouting reports put out there by amateur draft “experts”, or even the semi qualified draft “experts” like the guys who have been in the NFL for many years like Pat Kirwan, Charlie Casserly, Gil Brandt etc . . . Yeah, we do it every year, and every year we become the “experts”, and not to disparage anyone, because I think some of you guys really do know what you’re talking about, yet still, in comparison to the information that our scouts and personnel professionals have, it pales in comparison.

I hope you all enjoy the big game, maybe win a box pool, hopefully don’t get indigestion, or worse diarrhea. Don’t throw up on your friends couch, don’t throw the remote at the TV when the Patriots or Seahawks win, and bet with your head, not over it.

Maybe some of you can convince your wife that you need a new TV for the big game (amazing how often that one works!) and you can get a hold of a big 70” 4K UltraHD TV. That would be cool. I’d bet in 4K, you can probably see Palpatine, rather than Belichick. I can’t prove that, I don’t have a 4K TV, but if any of you do, and see it, please let me know, and if you can upload it to the site here, that would be even better! Thanks!

Enjoy the Superbowl! GO P, naw, Go S, nah, ahhh, WHO CARES!!!

    Opening arguments in the first Hernandez murder trial today.

    The defense attorney, “reminded jurors that Hernandez ‘played for our hometown team, the New England Patriots,’ and helped the Patriots reach a Super Bowl.”

    Now that’s a sign of desperation.

    I guess I am alone again in regards to Lynchs’ disdain for the stupid media days requirement. I wish he was clever with his responses- I’d even be ok if he purposefully answered every question with the most cliched answer applicable. But if he was just a special-teamer, this wouldn’t be an issue.

    not sure what to think of lynch. in one way i get the media is to intrusive. yet in another without the media he would have the endorsement deals he gets.

    Suspended WR Josh Gordon insists he does not have addiction issues, and says he believed he was no longer being tested for alcohol following the regular season.
    Writing in an open letter, Gordon took his critics to task, trying to paint a picture of a player who has been more unlucky than wayward. He continues to insist his failed 2014 marijuana test was the result of second-hand smoke. He also says the alcohol that led to his failed test earlier this month was consumed on a flight with other Browns players, and was the first time he had drank since his July 2014 DWI. Gordon said he’s not yet sure if he will appeal his year-long ban. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding his troubles, Gordon is out of second chances with the NFL. He needs to avoid trouble of any kind from here on out.

    Colts re-signed Rob Chudzinski to a new contract under the title of associate head coach.
    Chudzinski, who served as a “special assistant” to head coach Chuck Pagano in 2014, garnered interest from at least the 49ers and Rams over the last few weeks. It’s interesting that he’s passing on those offensive coordinator opportunities to stay in a background role with Indy. It’s likely a financial promotion coupled with the presence of Andrew Luck (vs. Colin Kaepernick or Sam Bradford) swayed him. Regardless, arguably the top OC candidate that was still available is now off the board. Chud is a talent maximizer that loves to utilize the tight end in the pass game. His return is great news for Luck, Dwayne Allen, Coby Fleener and the entire Colts offense that ranked No. 3 in the league.

    I sure hope Wallace is smart enough to mature even just a tad, now that he’s rich beyond 95% of all American’s dreams, and that he comes to Philbin and asks to stay, promising that he wants to win, will put in the work…and then go to Tanny and do the same…become a leader of the receiving corp.
    If he did that, then I think his teammates would respond in kind….and we can get this season rollin the right way…get Wallace up to 12 TD’s, 1K yards, and in the damn playoffs.

    Mike Wallace I hope you read this. Your future depends on your actions NOW!

  43. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    I’m tired of Lynch’s act. I’ve followed this guy since he was at Cal, but follow my train of thought on this week:
    He shows up for the mandatory media sessions (ostensibly “mandatory” because the league knows the fans want access to their players and they get that access via the media) and practically dares the league to fine him. He looks at his watch and announces “I’m only here so I don’t get fined”. The media proceeds to ask him questions, and he answers every one ‘I’m only here so I don’t get fined”. Wnen his mandatory time is up (I seriously think it’s something as ridiculous as 5 minutes required) he leaves. The next day he pulls the same thing (deliberately wearing gear that he knows the NFL could fine him for both days under the CBA). When reporters try to ask him questions he lambasts them. Plays the victim:

    “Hey, look, all week, I done told y’all what’s up and for some reason y’all continue to come back. You do the same that y’all did. I don’t know what story you are trying to get out of me. I don’t know what image y’all are trying to portray of me. But it don’t matter what y’all think, what y’all say about me. Because when I go home at night, the same people I look in the face — my family — that I love, that’s all that really matters to me. So y’all can go and make up whatever y’all want to make up because I don’t say enough to put anything out on me. But I’ll come to y’all’s event and you can shove cameras and microphones down my throat. And when I’m at home in my environment, I don’t see y’all. But y’all are mad at me. And if y’all ain’t mad at me, then what y’all here for? I ain’t got nothing for y’all though. I told you all that. So y’all should know that. But y’all will sit here like right now and continue to do the same thing. I’m here preparing for a game and y’all want to ask me all these questions, which is understandable. I can be down with that. But I told y’all, I’m not about to say nothing. So for the remainder of my three minutes because I’m here and available for y’all. I’m here. I’m available for y’all. I done talked. All of my requirements are fulfilled. So now for this next three minutes, I’ll just be looking at y’all the way y’all are looking at me. Thank you.”

    You kidding me? How the MEDIA wants to portray him? He says they’re doing their job “which is understandable” but then lambasts them for doing it. He says his image is created by them but hes the guy who puts this shit out there and grabs his crotch when he scores TD.

    I got nothing bad to say about Lynch the football player, but as a fan, who really just admires the player, he can’t give me anything (via the media)? At all? FFS Bill Belichick interviews are far more entertaining then this, and Lynch is a guy I want to LIKE!

    I guess I don’t know what to make of it all, but as a fan, his attitude offends me. Along with the privilege of making ungodly amounts of money to play a GAME, you have to communicate with the public from time to time via the media. Is that such a horrible tradeoff for him to make?

    SMH.

    Dbolt,
    Not sure why Wallace would want out…he had one of his best seasons ever…besides, who else is gonna want his shenanigans?
    If he is thinkin of going to a contender, most contenders already have a good #1 type of WR, so he’ll be unhappy there.
    He best get real and make the most of the great opportunity he has in Miami!!!

    I knew I was on the outside where Lynch was concerned, and I admit, Mr. Doh makes valid points. I just don’t get the point of the media asking questions when they know what he is going to say (or not say). At this point, they are doing it just to make news, and I don’t like that. Plus, what are any of them going to really SAY? We aren’t getting any insights or really deep thoughts- these guys are focusing on a football game.

    • TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

      And I admit, he does not help his cause. He could just answer with real trite stuff, or “I don’t know” or something. Personally I don’t give a shit because I don’t really care what any of them have to say. I’ll be mildly interested if the Dolphins ever make it this far.

      Throw Lynch out of the equation

      I feel like there is a book somewhere on sports cliches they give football players to read for cirucmstances like this

      • TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

        Exactly my point. He can sit out there and play the game (with the media), but what’s the point in that? Do we really get anything? And you can’t discount the idea if he was 3rd string, they wouldn’t ask him anything. Because he is successful, he is worth their time. I think the dude that had to bust his ass (izzo?) Has more interesting things to say and a unique perspective.

    and a month later I don;t remember anything he said or did during media week

    Lynch is giving us all some netertainiment
    Ultimately media day or media week or whatever they call it is booooooring

    I read somewhere that Lych did an interview syaing he would just stare back at the media like they stare at him for 3 minutes….lol
    that made me laugh
    I think its kind of funny
    But I have an absurd sense of humor I guess

    I’m just syaing its better than the ordinary barrage of sports cliches we usually get
    I kinda enjoy it despite some of the substantive things about the stuff he says that you mentioned

  52. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Think a big Part of the answer of what we do with the defensive line Isn’t with the team yet. Joe Philbin gives his assistants A lot of say. After they sign a new defensive line coach They will have a better idea of what they’re going to do. IMO
    And although our newly departed D line coach is well respected, Perhaps a change will benefit the team?
    I am waiting to see who we sign for that position

  53. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    jahn,

    i cant object to anything you said. i agree with most of it. the only think i feel is i think the media is just as bad at times. look at the ferguson incident. they media blew that up cause it made news. you have seen very very little of the 17 year old girl killed by cops in texas. why? cause it isnt as sensation as a cop shooting a black criminal.

    so i get some of lynch’s hatred, yet IMO he goes about it wrong

    well not techinically
    its mexcal
    which is not techinically tequila
    but think of it as a type of tequila

    I also find the Lnch thing kinda funny lol. If i was the reporter id have played along and just asked the same questions like Hyde was suggesting, even more funny if all the other reporters joined in and started doing same thing. They woulda put him back in his place and to me it woulda have been a pretty decent Mexican standoff.

    Mezcal not Mexcal

  65. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    If you are not familiar with Mezcal
    It’s just tequila
    But the cacti is roasted before the use it to make tequila
    So it’s smokey
    And delicious

    I think we are talking about same thing when you say agave
    Agave is the plant cacti come from right?

    I don’t think they make it with worm
    I think most tequilas take that out now
    I’ve never bought a bottle with a worm

    I don’t think I’d want any part of eating that worm. I’d probably hurl.

    I remember about 10 years ago my firend bought a bottle wioth a worm and he ate the worm

    and I shop a lot for tequila…lol

    Miami senior TE Clive Walford was “very consistent as both a blocker and pass catcher, handling defenders at the line of scrimmage as well as making receptions down the seam” at the Senior Bowl, wrote TFY Draft Insider’s Tony Pauline
    “There was a lot to like about Walford’s performance,” Pauline wrote. “He’s not a true vertical threat rather Walford possesses the skills necessary to be dependable in all areas of the tight end position for years to come.” The 6-foot-4, 258-pound Walford logged 44 receptions for 676 yards and seven touchdowns this season. NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock, who recently said Walford is “the most explosive tight end in this year’s draft,” expects the tight end to run a 40-yard dash around 4.65. The Guardian’s Matt Rybaltowski wrote that his work in Mobile “could propel Walford into a spot late in the opening round.” We don’t agree with that, but Walford may have clawed into Day 2 amidst a weak TE class.

    What I really want to know about Walford is whether he likes tequila

  77. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Funchess doesn’t seem as explosive as DGB is. DGB seems like the better athlete.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Funchess spent time as a TE, if you were looking for TE’s he would be better than trying to get DBG to play a foreign position, stay with the subject matter will ya! *cough* senile *cough*

    • TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

      I’ve heard a lit of people (nationally) talking, and I know strong lines are the key to good teams, but I’d like to go after a playmaker with the first. I’m still hoping for a Parker or someone of that stratosphere with the first.

  78. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Mike, Ideally we can trade down a few spots, get DGB, & have two 2nd round picks, 1 for Walford and the other for a good LB, S, or CB

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      That would be crazy
      But keep guys like Strong and Coates on your radar too
      They may be available late first early 2nd

  79. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Michigan State CB Trae Waynes moved from No. 26 to 20 on Todd McShay’s Big Board.
    “Waynes has good length and speed for the cornerback position, and is at his best in a press-man or Cover 2 role,” McShay wrote. “He has above-average field awareness and can track the ball well and maintain good position in coverage. He’s also willing to come up in run support and is a sure open-field tackler.” NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt believes Waynes is better than former Spartans CB Darqueze Dennard, and NFL Media colleague Daniel Jeremiah does him one better. Jeremiah prefers Waynes to any corner in the 2014 class, a group including first-rounders Justin Gilbert, Kyle Fuller, the aforementioned Dennard, Bradley Roby and Jason Verrett.

  80. D's avatar D says:

    Funchess would be my 4th favorite WR for us, behind Parker, White and DGB, but top TE, and since he can play both that versatility really makes it close with him and DGB. Parker and White are hands down a better WR option. The better thing about DGB is he will probably last until late 1st so like GDP said, that would make it easier to get more quality at other positions, aslo good. I dont know i could pass on Parker or White though but if they are both gone, im looking to do something similar to what DGB outlined

    I was watching TV last night, and I saw this commercial for TrueCar, that car buying service, and the guy featured in the commercial was Mike E. It wasn’t me, but it cracked me up though.

  82. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Trypod, the two guys that seem close as 1st rounders are Parker & White….it’s a toss up who I like better between those two.

    If we don’t go playmaker WR in the 1st doesn’t mean we can still land one later…it’s deep man…I like Mayle a lot, and he’s likely midround for now, might sneak into the 3rd after combine & pro days, private workouts etc.

    • D's avatar D says:

      I dunno, i guess if we didnt get a big target guy early, i might would look for Mayle in the 3rd, but id rather them take Devin Smith and/or Phillip Dorsett 3-4th and maybe chance getting Rannell Hall or Cam worthy in the 7th or UDFA.

    JUST AN UNBELIEVABLE DAY in Tampa Bay. –At 6PM it was sunny and 67 in Lutz, a northern suburb of Tampa. It maxed out at 71 around 1 pm–not a cloud in the sky!! –What a difference from the icy conditions I experienced in Georgia last week!!

    As for Lynch and the interview process, I believe each team should make available about 4-5 players and the head coach for “media” day, and that’s it. –I see NOTHING good out of forcing someone to do an interview who doesn’t want to do one. –I’ve turned down a few requests in my business, usually because I’m too damn busy at the moment of the request. –THAT SAID, Lynch is an unadulterated jerk who deserves all the shit that comes his way. He COULD simply say he doesn’t believe in the process but, nonetheless, will give short, relevant, answers for 5 minutes before leaving. However, it’s obvious Lynch doesn’t understand the word “class” and possibly can’t even spell “class.” –If Goodell was a good comish, he’d lower yet another big fine on this jerk, then tell him the NEXT OFFENSE will get him suspended 4 games WITHOUT PAY!! – -But since he’s NOT a good comish, Lynch likely will skate, just as Kraft, Brady and Belicheat will come out smelling like a rose in a couple of weeks.

    This Super Bowl is kinda like a recent presidential election: NO good guys; NO acceptable options when it comes to who I’m hoping wins. –But I DID place a bet in Las Vegas on Christmas Day on the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl. –I’ll win $100 if they win. So I’ve now got 100 more reasons to hate the Patriots. –And if I do win this bet, that $100 will go towards this summer’s MobFest, or whatever we call it. –Each round of drinks will be a celebration of the Patriots’ defeat in the Super Bowl!!

    How does THAT sound???

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      OD….sorry…..Mr. President — how much did you have to put down to have that $100 if the Seahawks win? And do you have to go back to Vegas to collect or is there come mail in option?

      Awesome offer for Fest charity though……..wonder if we can make ourselves tax deductible. 🙂

  84. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    D, need I remind you on Funchess, that Egnew was said to be able to play both TE & WR….lol
    Stick with Walford, he can block.

    • D's avatar D says:

      I really think he is still here had they moved him out to WR, or at least there is a much higher likelihood. Eggs was damage good though i think, pussy mentality on a really big dude.

    • D's avatar D says:

      I really dont think we need a TE bad enough for a 2nd round selection. If i had 2 2nd’s im picking ILB and then S. Weak class of TE’s and Walford would be a 4th round selection any other year.

  86. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    This is the kid I kept harping about as a backup for Tanny, he was gonna be a 5-7th round prospect but might go undrafted now due to his injury at end of year that will keep him from displaying his talents. I bet Lazor would have fun grooming him, he kinda reminds me of Foles.

    Washington State redshirt senior Connor Halliday will attend the NFL Draft combine, but he will not work out.
    Back in November, Halliday snapped his tibia and fibula when Trojans defensive end Leonard Williams fell on his leg. The 6-foot-4, 201-pound Halliday threw for 11,308 yards, and 90 touchdowns, in his career at Washington State. CBS Sports’ Dane Brugler noted back in November, that Halliday “was viewed as a possible late round draft pick, but the injury could change that if he is unable to work out for teams prior to the 2015 NFL Draft.”

  87. D's avatar D says:

    I think most backups we would get in the draft would give me the “god i hope Tanny stays healthy” vibe lol….but again, the choices in FA would eb get another guy who give me a similar feel and pay him more, or pay a guy a lot more and ask myself “again, why didnt we re-sign morre”

  88. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Alright, I’m out for a spell…gotta run…Peace!

  89. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    D, I like Carden, was focused on him early, but he’s likely gonna go 4-5th round..IMO

    • D's avatar D says:

      I dunno, his big issue is arm strength, he throws all the mid range passes REALLY well, very quick release, great reads, but his really deep throws aren’t the best.May hurt him with evaluators, but he is a super competitive guy, got his head and heart in the right place. I think the pre combine interview will make or break him, because what he does at combine probably wont. He would work in our offense though since we dont take a ton of deep throws lol.
