and the AFL were locked in a death struggle. Each league held its own separate draft of college football players. The top players could (and DID) play one league’s offer against the other league’s offer, escalating rookie player salaries to amazing levels. In 1965, the New York Jets, owned by Sonny Werblin, offered Alabama’s All-American quarterback Joe Namath the unprecedented sum of $450,000 to sign a contract (the NFL’s Cardinals had offered less than $200,000 — an amount Namath was ready to sign for). This one incident, more than any other factor, brought about a merger of the two leagues. It also led to a common draft and somewhat controlled salaries for pro football players. The two leagues agreed that an AFL-NFL World Championship game would be played, beginning in January of 1967. By 1969, the name of this game had been changed to “The Super Bowl.”
the spread rose to 15, then 16, then 17 points in Las Vegas. Jimmy the Greek Snyder said “It will be a 21-point spread by game time. The Jets have NO CHANCE!” At a banquet in Miami a few days before the game, a reporter asked Namath, “What do you think about being almost a 3-touchdown underdog?” Namath responded with perhaps the MOST FAMOUS QUOTE IN PRO FOOTBALL HISTORY; “We’re going to win this game, I GUARANTEE IT,” said the cocky Namath! A hush fell over the banquet. Colts players 
who were at this banquet literally stood up and glared at Namath. It was “Game On!” The media frenzy that followed exceeded anything ever seen before in South Florida. In fact, Super Bowl III became the most anticipated sporting event in Sunshine State history up to that time! As we all know, Joe Namath delivered on his guarantee. He talked the talk! He walked the walk! The 3-touchdown underdog Jets prevailed over the NFL’s Colts 16-7. When the Kansas City Chiefs repeated the Jets’ success by crushing the favored Vikings in Super Bowl IV, the verdict was in. The AFL had two Super Bowl wins; the NFL had two Super Bowl wins. The following season, the two leagues totally merged, ending the separate league format. By now, it was understood that the best teams in the AFL could “play with, and BEAT, the best teams in the NFL.” This gave added importance to the Dolphins-Jets showdown in New York.
giving New York problems. Griese decided to stick with them. On their next offensive series Griese threw an 8-yard completion to Warfield at Miami’s 46. Then he hit Marv Fleming for 12 yards and Otto Stowe for 18 yards. From the 6, Jim Kiick burst through a small crease in the line for a touchdown! The noisy Jets’ crowd became quiet as Miami tool a 14-7 halftime lead. A Yepremian 27-yard field goal extended the Dolphins lead to 17-7. Namath reportedly told fullback Matt Snell, “We’ve got to respond NOW!” And respond they did. From the Jets 47, Namath launched a high arching bomb right on the money to speedy Jerome Barkum. Dick Anderson dragged Barkum to the turf about 6 inches short of Miami’s goal line! Namath tried to sneak the ball across the goal line. He was stopped for no gain. Jets fans were roaring! Next, Cliff McClain was STUFFED, inches short! All-pro back Matt Snell then appeared to be stopped short, but the Jets were guilty of offsides and the ball was moved back just outside the 5. So Namath tried a pass. Jake Scott broke it up! Incredibly, on fourth and goal, the Jets WENT FOR THE TOUCHDOWN! This time, loud Jets’ fans seemed to cause their own team an illegal procedure penalty! The ball was moved back another 5 yards from where Bobby Howfield made a chip-shot field goal. Instead of getting seven points, the Jets had to settle for three! 17-10, Miami.
“Any time you’ve got first down with 6 inches to go and have to settle for a field goal, you’ve got a problem. It takes something out of you,” said a somber Namath. For the day, Namath was only 12 for 25 for 152 yards and NO touchdowns. Once, again, Larry Csonka rushed for over 100 yards. And Jim Kiick ran for two scores. Bob Griese outplayed Namath in this battle of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. His numbers, 15 for 27 for 220 yards were highlighted by four clutch receptions by Howard Twilley, including a 16 yard catch for the only passing touchdown of the game. For his efforts, Twilley was awarded the game ball in this match-up of first and second place AFC East teams. In the post game locker room, Shula said he was pleased to be undefeated with a two game lead in the division. “We have a lot more winning to do,” said the Don of Miami. Soon, very soon, the personnel Miami would use to win would change drastically. A potentially catastrophic injury was just around the corner. The 1972 Miami Dolphins were now 4-0. | The Flying Pig on 2025 Season – Game 15… |

Finsmob Unleashed 
First. I win again! Nice work OD. These are bittersweet for me, as I was only one at the time, and have only seen these highlights. Maybe one day we will return to our former glory.
I appreciate the effort, I truly do. I hate that we have to live in our past to find some semblance of glory, though. It just tears me. Can someone in charge of the Dolphins please get us to respectability, a place we haven’t sniffed since the Wandstedt era? And I don’t want to hear about the 1 year we went 11-5, as one year does not an era make.
Great piece OD
Love to read about those wins overs the jests
Still enjoy reading these OD. Thanks once again!
I REALLY, REALLY appreciate the kind words from each and every one of you. –Those words mean so much to this Old Dolfan, and his lovely wife, too!! –One thing I failed to do was to fully explain how intense, how dominating, this rivalry was “back in the day.” EVERY TV SET in Florida and New York was tuned in to this game. Every church sermon was kept brief because preachers and priests KNEW parishioners would LEAVE EARLY so as NOT to miss the kickoff of a Jets/Dolphins game!! –Checkout stands at Publix and Winn-Dixie move briskly around 12:30. –The pace of life was TOTALLY DIFFERENT ON GAME DAYS!! –One sign on a south Florida church read “God is impartial. But we are NOT. Beat the Jets!”

On another front, FAU’s late rally came up short as 2nd ranked Florida edge FAU 10-8 last night at Roger Dean Stadium. (“edged”). Congrats to the Gators who avenged last year’s loss to the Owls.

OFF TO WORK. Talk to you wonderful Dolfans tonight.
On to another topic. I believe I’ve mentioned to you guys before that my co-work is from Massachusetts. Well his father is a retired high roller from the Boston area and his company has sent him on a retirement tour of sorts where they scheduled him to private dinners with local team owners and HC’s. My co-worker just came into my office this morning and made a wise ass comment about how the redesigned stadium looks amazing & all we need is a team to play in it. Then he got a serious look on his face and told me about his fathers luncheon with Kraft & Bellicheat. He said when his father asked what team concerns them the most moving forward & without hesitation they said Miami. They felt once Mia settled the OL that the Phins had the potential to become a powerhouse. BB also said Tannehill is one of the hardest QBs to coach against. Said he reads defenses really well and typically makes the right play. Also said his ability to extend plays makes him even more dangerous. Said he thrived even when OL play was below average. Take it for what it’s worth or not, but it’s what was relayed to me this morning.
I was waiting for the part of the story where Kraft choked on his lunch
😀
Nope, but he is a heavy drinker.
I’m pretty sure Kraft was drunk at the Super Bowl DBolt
Did you hear him after the win?
I quit watching the game at halftime.
I’m pretty sure he was shot by then
Im sure most people were drink at home while watching the Superbowl too. lol
Dbolt, don’t let Randy read your post. LOL
I know, like I said take it however you want😄. Just thought it was interesting.

Sounds like to me Nelson wasn’t high profile enough for Adidas to want to feature, so they bailed on the offer and cited a technicality.
OD, good stuff.
@JasonPhilCole: FWIW, talked to one former HC (now OC) who said when his teams play at #Patriots he refuses to allow any locals to even help in locker room
Mando is reporting that the Dolphins are interested in David Harris
I don’t know how I feel about that
He seems near the end of his career
He was good in his prime
But I don’t think he is that good now
I would rather we draft a MLB
But I guess it’s dangerous to go to the draft with a huge hole
No guarantees you fill it
Harris can still play at a high level. He’s versatile and can play any LB position. If the goal is to win now, we need some players who can play now. I don’t think the LB class is that good in this draft in terms of instant impact. Harris makes us better.
Im not a fan of that move. I understand we have weaknesses in LB position, but addition of a good DT like Knighton and a high level pick at the position and we will be in a pretty solid spot.
Also i dont see the LB hole nearly as evident at OG, and probably DT as well.
I don’t think one has anything to do with the other.
Broncos reporters are saying Demaryius Thomas for sure resign, they arent going to let him walk but a lot of the others will be make them moderate offers and take it or leave it. Juilius Thomas they said will be in a different uni next year.
Ravens owner rips Dolphins’ deal with Mike Wallace —ESPN.
Gotta love sensationalism. The guy was using the Wallace deal as a buyer beware in FA spending. He wasnt “ripping” us over it, he was just saying shit doesn’t pan out and paying big sometimes gets you in a financial bind. It was in reference to the idea they might get outbid on Torrey Smith in FA. He used it as a key point in an otherwise blanket statement. Headline reads like he was calling us out, calling Phins a organization of tards who shit them selves and have to get assistance when eating.
I read that too and said what’s the big deal? Typical South Florida media nonsense to make the Dolphins look bad.
He doesn’t want to pay his guy and is pissed with how we set that market. Screw him.
Oops, shows how poorly I read his original comments 😉
Great article OD!
I also am not sold on Harris. The Jets have a ton of cap space comparatively so why wouldn’t they match if he’s worth it? I think we do need to fill as much as possible but it will truly be a job to work this out.
What’s not to be sold on? The guy is a tackling machine. He’d be our best LB the day he enters the facility. I wouldn’t worry about the numbers, let Hickey and Aponte figure that out.
I’m not sold we could get him. The Jets have more space and know the guy very well. Why wouldn’t they match our commitment and leave a huge hole in their defense?
the jets have 50 mil in cap space. I think they can out bid us for harris.
OD
Once again, excellent work. Always enjoy reading these.
I think some people here talk like we have tons of cap space. It’s going to be hard to get one guy we target, forget 3 or 4.
I think we have a legit shot at two higher profile players. We can clear up and create a good bit of space without significantly hurting our team, im going to submit something to you as an article that outlines it, but suffice to say i think we can re-sign Clay and make two decent sized moves in FA.
Harris is essentially a rental not grow with the franchise player.I wouldnt pay top dollar for him and you can bet the Jets will push his price up at the very least. If our need was severely dire, its not, i would agree he is a good prospect, but if we want a vet, there are others out there that would suffice and be with us longer. I prefer we draft a guy high, and i think if we put effort into fixing our DT needs, LB issues are helped a good bit just by that.
Today is Inconvenience Yourself Day. WTF does that even mean?
Cook a meal instead of grab fast food?
I guess it’s time for me to pay some bills then. How are you Herd? Ready for winter to finally let us go based off your avi? Lol
You guys need to suffer a few more months so we get some a few more coolers weeks… take one for the team!
Lol, time for me to move.
Park far away from work and walk instead of searching for the closest spot?
I’ve been standing in my own way all day
LOL
The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reports the Dolphins are “expected to pursue” free agent ILB David Harris.
Harris would play middle linebacker for the Dolphins. Though he just turned 31, Harris is expected to have a robust market, with the Dolphins joining the Bills, Falcons, Bears, and Jets as teams interested in him. New Dolphins president Mike Tannenbaum drafted Harris in New York in 2007. If he were to sign with Miami, MLB Koa Misi would kick back outside to strong-side linebacker. Free agent MLB Mason Foster is viewed as a fallback plan for the Dolphins if they can’t sign Harris.
_______________________
We’ll end up with Foster, but that’s ok, he was a guy I mentioned early on and he’s younger @ 25. Besides you know Rex will want his boy Harris.
Rey Maualuga is also out there and he has a connection with Coyle.
I’m not saying we will land Harris, I said I’d love to have him based on a report that we’re interested in him. We can create a lot of cap space if some of the cuts that have been reported happen. Who knows if Harris wants to stay with the Jets. Let it play out.
Inconvenience Yourself Day:
“Make a sandwich without your favorite condiment on it and go to stores that likely won’t have it.”
Herd, love that avi. All I’m asking for is 30s and 40s weather. Get this Artic shit the fuck outta here.
We have Jenkins, and Jordan who can play OLB’s. We have Misi who can play ILB or OLB, we technically dont need anyone of a vet level player to be brought in. Harris, by the time he adjusted to our scheme may already be at end of contract. Im actually only mildly nervous about our LB corps, and if we draft a guy high ill be pretty ok with it. I know i have no justification that we will be solid with Misi who is injury prone and Jordan who hasnt played much, but Harris at ILB you really wont know what to expect there either. Ellerbe was highly sought after, he played well for his other team. Harris would be playing in a different scheme moving from 3-4 where he excelled to a 4-3, same as Ellerbe, so where is your assurance? My way at least it isnt costing us big buncks and probably a FA at another position of need.
Jordan hasn’t proven he can play OLB in a 4-3 scheme and I still don’t think it’s a good position for him.
Harris has played in both schemes. Rex Ryan doesn’t run just a pure 3-4, he runs multiple fronts and the ’46’ defense which also uses 4 man fronts and a MLB. Harris is an excellent LB.
Again Tim, Ellerbe was as well.
Brandon Spikes is a good run support LB, cheaper, younger, and has intel on at least 2 AFC East teams lol.
D, Ellerbe was what? He’s also not on Harris’ level.
Not a fan of Spikes, he’s slow.
Out of respect to inconvenience yourself day, I’m having all my tires replaced on my car, so I brought the wrong car in, had to go back home and switch cars, bring it back, and I purposely left my wallet home so I had to go back and get it. WHEW! I was really inconvenienced.
LOL, are you really getting all your tires replaced? That’s always a fun time paying for that.
I guess everyone is wanting to go to lunch but they’re purposely keeping themselves from going.
Tim
Yeah, the Mustang’s tires are toast, after about 29,000 miles. A little disappointed, considering I haven’t really killed them like some people most likely do. I was driving home the other night, and I was in 2nd gear, and I hit the gas, and all of a sudden the back started dancing, and I was like OK, let’s check these tires out! They were pretty toasted, so it was time for new ones. I drive that car every day, except when it snows.
Yeah sure, you burn rubber, be honest. LOL
It’s always awesome to have all new tires but the bill sucks goat balls. LOL
I really don’t do burnouts. Not like extended ones. Sometimes I peel out, like a chirp, but I don’t torch my tires like some people do.
And hell yeah, the bill sucked!!!
To inconvenience myself, I went out at lunch to gas up the car so I didn’t have to do it tomorrow when it’s supposed to be snowing. It would have helped if I had remembered to take my credit cards with me. 😦
That’s the Holiday spirit
Gone for 2 weeks, but this made my day upon my return. Thanks Dbolt!

How was the trip?
Thanks for asking Herd. I had a great time, but my friend, who’s 40th B-day was the reason for the trip, took off on a bomb of a wave and landed on his back on the reef, breaking 3 ribs and landing him in the WW2 era “Hospital” in Micronesia for the duration. He’s still there, but stable. Hoping his medivac flight comes today and gets him home to Hawaii with his wife, and out of that hell hole. The food looked like 3rd world prison rations.
That sounds horrible. Glad you enjoyed it. lol
Don’t like the idea of spending on Harris either. We don’t have the cap space. I also have no doubt D could figure out how we could resign Clay and still get two high profile free agents, but that almost never happens in this era (one team signing two of the higher profile free agents), and I really would prefer we don’t max things out going into a year where we’re about to make Tannehill the top salary on the team.
Play is conservative this offseason with free agents. Address as much as you can via the draft and via middle-tier free agency short deals with minimal guarantees. The era of spending big in free agency for high earning QB teams is over. Look around. If your QB makes a lot of money, your team isn’t signing the Mike Wallaces/Mario Williams of the world.
I think Harriss will be pretty inexpensive but I’m not sure about that
he is an “aging” player
Well if he’s “middle tier” money, than I would be fine with it, but I assumed given the Jets cap space, and the way Tim was glowing about him that he’s going to get big money. I’m over paying older FAs on their last big contracts. Let someone else take on that sort of liability.
Good to see you, Jahn.
The discussion about David Harris was a report by Armando that we are interested in Harris, not a fan created thing. So we obviously think we can sign him if we truly are interested.
Jahn
I really don;t know what the market is for Harris
but it doesn’t sound like big FA $ to me
I think that might be one of the reasons the team has expressed interest
He’s the top LB’er this FA, he currently makes 7mil per, He will get i think at minimum 5mil per and probably at least 2 year contract. He’s old but he’s not “in decline”. Id think of him like Dansby, where a team like Arizona might really like to have him, and they will pay him a good amount, but short term or incentive laden. Either way, he wont be cheap and he would be a stop gap.
I don’t think David Harris is going to be cheap.
Jahn, that sucks about your friend. At least he wasn’t eaten by a shark. 😉
“Said he thrived even when OL play was below average.”
what the hell does he know. he is no randy. we all know the OL was stellar it was just tanny that caused the 17,587 sacks in two years
Jahn
Good to see you back. Sorry about your friend. Man, that must be tough.
Thanks guys (and girls!) good to see you too. Tim, that Harris report could easily be us trying to drive up the price for the Jets. That sort of thing does happen this time of year. I am not sold on anything Armando reports as being 100% believable. I do think he’s got a few connections in Davie, but I think sometimes he gets played by them.
LOL @ the shark comment. We actually flew through an atoll in the Marshall Islands called Majuro and they had a sign that dubbed is the largest Shark sanctuary in the world. I laughed thinking: “If I get chomped Tims gonna bust my balls for sure”.
LOL
I was just commenting on if the David Harris interest was real. I’ve mentioned him before as an option saying if you want to upgrade MLB just sign him. I’ve always felt he was one of the better LBs in the league.
Not sure we upgrade at MLB from the draft, it’s not a great class. In fact the overall 4-3 LB class isn’t overly strong, a lot of smaller sized guys who aren’t particularly fast.
PS, my friend will be fine in the end, but his surf season is definitely over. I’m hoping to hear within a few hours that he’s being medivac’d. It’s 8 hours earlier there than on the east coast (but a day later, talk about a mindfuck!)
Jahn,
Good to hear your friend will be ok and glad you’re back.
On to Harris, I don’t think he will be cheap. He’s been expensive and has had Sexy Rexy telling him he’s the best for a half decade. I don’t see him being cheap unless the market for top LB talent has dried up.
He’s gonna get paid. This is his last big deal and he’s going to want it.
Gonna go get some lunch. BBL.
All the yapping about Harris but nothing about my suggestion with Foster….lol
Harris will be a Bill. He likes Rex & Rex likes him, plus Buffalo has a lot of cap space.
Depending on who we cut, I see Miami trying to sign Foster, Maualuga, Lattimore….
It’s 8 hours earlier there than on the east coast (but a day later, talk about a mindfuck!)
well shit, tell him to get tonight’s lotto numbers before he leaves
Paul Posluszny is said to be a potential cut from Jags, though they has so much cap space i dont know why they would feel the need to. If you wanted a oldlish vet, that’s the guy i would want. He is Zach incarnate, cept bigger. He also has more natural ability in coverage tan most other true 4-3 MLBs.
Would be great too if Tripp & McCain have a Jenkins kinda year 2 breakthrough as well.
Also, do we resign Kelvin Sheppard on the cheap, he now knows the defense, he’s 27 & on his 3rd team.
Also what do we have in Jake Knott the young 24yo LB that we signed to a reserve/futures contract.
Jake Knott finished his collegiate career with 347 tackles (18 for a loss), while breaking up 15 passes and making eight interceptions. A two-time captain (2011 and 2012), Knott was a 2011 first-team All-Big 12 honoree after finishing second on the team with 115 tackles and leading the squad with four forced fumbles.
You never know.
GD, Lattimore?
Jamari Lattimore.

————————————-
Lemme rephrase, i think he is good enough to push our young guys and provide close competition, but ultimately he would be a depth player that would give us security for the “in case of”
He’s young himself, about 27…has missed sometime with injury. But your assessment is about right for now.
i remember the colts vs jets game where the passing game was unbelievable. I believe they broke passing yard records. I remember the announcers commenting about how this was a remarkable feat we were watching.
Sorry to hear about the bummer trip your friend’s birthday turned out to be. And I can tell by the fact he lives in Hawaii, his life probably already sucked, so this is a double whammy! J/k. Getting hurt on vacation sucks, period.
Tim, I’m really thinking we see Tripp have his coming out party if he stays healthy. The coaches were giving him looks with the first team in camp last year before he had the chest injury.
He could turn out to be 5th round Gold for Hickey!
Would love to see it. 2nd year players making the jump are as if not more important than the next draft.
exactly…drafting players in the next draft never guarantee’s anything regardless of round! Even 1st rounders are busts or guys get multiple injuries.
I meant to ask this earlier, what would 3rd world prison rations consist of? Bugs, turds, rocks?
Thats third world oatmeal, 4th world woulda just been the turds and rocks.
So today was daddy day at the elementary school. There’s between 40-50 kids in the class and all but fathers show up. We all had to sit in a huge circle while our kids had to introduce us by name and say what they enjoy most that we do together….they get to my daughter and she stands up and doesn’t introduce me, but proceeds to inform everyone that her favorite thing is “when he performs ballet dance with me all the time.” Holy shit, I had a true look of confusion on my face while the teacher, who’s good friends with my wife, looks like she’s about to piss her pants re announces to everyone that I do ballet with my daughter. My son stands up next and introduces me next while shooting a glare at his sister and says his favorite thing to do with me is “working out & training for flag football.” Thank god I had my son there to bring balance to the force 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Absolute bullshit that a movie could get away with treating dancers this way.” LMAO!!!!
Glad Hickey is working on resigning Clay…we need to do it ASAP, give him his $5.5M and be done with it before we see the market blow up with Julius Thomas, and guys getting good pay days like Owen Daniels, Gresham, even Cameron.
Where did you read this?
guys, all this draft and FA talk is a waste of time. there wont be any football this year. hell there wont be anything. i heard on the radio yesterday some priest saying the world will end on Oct 7th. so none of this draft talk really matters. oh yeah, and he said all those that god is going to save he already saved them back in 2011. so if you didnt get the notice from god you might as well live it the fuck up for the next 5 months.
Oh here we go again. I guess if one of these guys gets it right one time they will forever be thought of as a true prophet and voice of God. The only problem is everyone will be dead so it will be like it never happened. LOL
The draft is in April which is well before October 7
we get like 5 games in before that day!
So get excited
you have the draft and 5 games to look forward to
I seeing you’re showing off your calendar knowledge. Oh look at you, you’re so smart.
They could have done it the day BEFORE my birthday not After!
That way I could have died young and handsome!
Not just handsome! 😉
There is that folding in December thing we won’t have to see again!
Tim, we are known to be wanting to resign Clay, he is a team FA priority right?
I thought you read that they’re on the verge of agreeing on a deal you rumor starter. LOL

joe: dont worry stevie boy, no way in hell will it happen this year.
It looks like everyone is up to something.
Well, I’m sure we are on verge of signing Clay, he has stated that he’d like to stay, and the club said they want him. Now it comes down to dollars & sense 😉

I missed the boat on WRs
It happens, but I feel it’s too good a year to not get 1-2 WR’s in the draft especially our quickly eroding WR corp.
Tanny needs weapons to keep improving in his 4th consecutive year.
I think we can pass on Gurley given a lot of talent @ RB also. Gurley scares me with being possibly injury prone.
I do like Shelton, Grissom, Amos, & Jones!

‘I’m sure it will be more open and free because that’s what government is all about. (rolling eyes)’
yep, now you must answer if you have health ins on your taxes. just another privacy invaded by the gov. next they will be asking ‘gay or straight porn’ and tax you on that
Piggy,
I saw a lot of people talking about Gurley to the Pats at 32. I will lose my shit if that happens.

September can’t come fast enough !!!!!!!
Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey has restructured his contract.
Pouncey was due $8.1 million, including a $3.75 million roster bonus.

Good news, this will help us restructure Mike.

I guess I don’t have to do a 1st post so I can eventually post again.
💭
Packers released ILB A.J. Hawk.
A no-brainer move by Green Bay, Hawk’s release saves $3.5 million against the cap. Hawk graded out as a bottom-ten inside linebacker by PFF last year and is one month removed from ankle surgery. He’ll likely have to settle for one-year deals in free agency. The Packers need cap room to sign in-house free agents Randall Cobb, Bryan Bulaga, and Davon House. Kansas City would be a sensible landing spot for Hawk. The Chiefs are incredibly thin at inside linebacker and GM John Dorsey was in Green Bay’s front office when Hawk was drafted.
_______________________
I wonder Philbin’s thoughts as well as Hickey’s on AJ Hawk? I’d seriously look into acquiring him with the right deal.
He’s coming off a 90 tackle season, the 2 previous seasons 120 & 118 tackles.
Hawk, a respected locker room presence, leaves Green Bay with 1,118 tackles, tops in the franchise since 1975. He appeared in 142 out of a 144 possible regular-season games with 136 starts since being drafted in the first round in 2006 out of Ohio State.
Your score is: 5932 (GRADE: A)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 14: Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson (A)
Round 2 Pick 15: Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke (A-)
Round 3 Pick 14: Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State (B-)
Round 4 Pick 15: Grady Jarrett, DT, Clemson (A)
Round 5 Pick 14: Justin Hardy, WR, East Carolina (A)
Round 6 Pick 15: Karlos Williams, RB, Florida State (A-)
Round 7 Pick 15: Mike Hull, ILB, Penn State (A)
Playing with yourself again? 😉
Sure, why not.
tim
it is ok, most of your post are blank anyways
Hardy har har har!
Anyone have a good feel for who we’ll take at #14? I have no idea.
Nope! Until FA is over, we really don’t have a clue

Piggy heaven!
HEY FOLKS; ARE YOU getting a little tired of ESPN’s “PURSUIT OF PERFECTION” theme when discussing Kentucky’s basketball season?? –Over the long span of NCAA basketball, several teams have had undefeated seasons. Aren’t we forgetting about THEEE TEAM that popularized “PERFECTION?” –Aren’t we ignoring THE ONLY PERFECT SEASON IN NFL HISTORY just a little bit???????
If the University of Miami invented “SWAGGER,” then the ’72 DOLPHINS INVENTED PERFECTION!!!!!!! Say “PERFECTION” and what’s the first team that comes to most sports fans mind??? Well, I’ll give you a hint, Bristol Boys. It’s NOT the University of Connecticut. –It’s NOT Kentucky (whose ’54 team went undefeated). –And it’s sure as hell NOT a team that has ANYTHING to do with the city of NEW YORK or BAWSTON!!
IT”S THE DAMN ’72 DOLPHINS YOU SELF-SERVING MORONS IN BRISTOL CONNECTICUT!!!—-We are the CHAMPIONS OF PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I make myself clear on that issue?
What’s up FUers?
HULK – – How the hell are you?? –Hear another storm is headed toward the northeast.–Yecchh!
We have had our share this year. I don’t think there is a storm coming my way in the next couple of days.
What day does FA start?
NOT sure, Ken, but the blood letting has already begun with several big name players being released yesterday and today to create salary cap room for those teams looking to sign players in Free Agency. –I expect the Dolphins to cut a few players within the next few days for the same reason.
Hey Dbolt:
Lynn Swan used to take ballet. That doesn’t make it gay? Not that there is anything wrong with that. JBB bro. You go dance with your daughter.
LOL. Just a mind blowing comment by my daughter. She couldn’t mention vacations, fishing, soccer, reading, coloring, etc. She mentions something I don’t do with her, I watch the recitals, but holy shit Id kill muskeg attempting what she does.
Sure you don’t dance with her. LOL
I’m not sure FA will decide who we take at #14. I think we’ll go with value. Now obviously if we sign a big time talent at a specific position it could tilt us towards another position in the draft, but I’m not sure we go for big time talents in FA.
LMAO. Omar Kelly curse strikes again. 1 day after saying Zmike Wallace will be a Dolphin in 2015 Ian Rappaport reports Miami is exploring trades for Wallace. Bye-bye Mike!
Here’s hoping the Sun-Sentinel says “bye-bye” to Kelly, also.
——————
Has anyone heard from Miss Gigi in the last week?? –Hope she’s doing well in Fresno.
OD, I don’t see any major snow storms in the forecast for the NE.
Say “PERFECTION” and what’s the first team that comes to most sports fans mind??? this one
I KNEW I could count on YOU, FFR!!
That is only 12. We need 14
Good to see Jahn back. Sorry to hear about his buddy winding up in a 3rd world hospital.
@HeraldSports: Report: Miami Dolphins trying to trade receiver Mike Wallace

@AdamHBeasley
But Omar said he is going to be back
Yep, that’s why I said he was gone yesterday😂
The Old Dolfan’s got to call it a night. Appreciate all the feedback on this episode of ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. –Talk to you folks tomorrow.
Peace OD and thanks again for the Absolute Perfection.

Somewhere there’s a guy who repeats himself that’s very excited by this news:
