Thursday Night Football
The starters played well. Tannehill took the opening kickoff and drove the team down the field on an 8 minute drive that ended with a Touchdown and not a FG.
He completed a deep square in route to Jennings which was a big gainer. He hit Sims on a couple of nice crossing routes. He hit Landry on a couple and avoided taking any big hits despite even running it once to avoid the only pressure he saw. Lamar Miller broke one for a big gainer and the line looked pretty good.
We’ve waited a long time and relied on a lot of reporters eyes to give us an idea of how the offensive line looked in particular the Guard position. I thought they fired off the ball well in the run game, it’s clearly a Zone blocking unit as they head in unison in a direction just trying to make a cut back lane open up for Miller. Fox started at LT with Dallas Thomas next to him at LG, Pouncey at C, with Billy Turner at RG and Ju’wan James playing RT. Turner did well for himself and even played into the 3rd quarter at the RG spot. Based on the series we saw last night this O-line might be alright and allow Tannehill time to survey his many options and put together a strong running game to run the clock.
The Defense on it’s first appearance shut down Chicago in an ugly 3 and out. Not ugly for us Dolphans as we finally got to see Suh in a Dolphin uniform playing. Chicago rushed for zero yards while the Chief was in the game. Once he left forget it, Chicago ran it pretty well on our Defense once the starters were out.Sheppard, Jenkins and McCain were indeed the starting Linebackers, Sheppard getting the nod while Misi is out. In the secondary, Aikens started in place of Delmas along side Jones at Safety while Taylor filled the other Corner spot opposite Grimes.
Those first couple of series are all there really are to talk about. Matt Moore was unimpressive when he took over the offense, failing to score on any of his drives. 
McCleod Bethel Thompson actually started off looking pretty good. He completed a few intermediate passes and then hit Laron Byrd on a deep ball that set up what would be the teams final score of the night. But in the second half it got very ugly for MBT. Gillissle started the mess with a beautiful long run he brokebut he forgot to put the ball in the proper arm allowing a Bear defender to strip it negating a long gain and a chance to increase the lead. Having seen the Gillisslee turnover MBT wanted in on the fun and threw not one but 2 ugly pics including the last one which set up Chicago inside the Miami 10 yard line.
Caleb Sturgis made his extra point attempt and the lone field goal attempt he had in the first half and was to give way to Andrew Franks who would have the second half kicking duties. Well since the Dolphins failed to score in the second half Mr. Franks made the 3rd qtr opening kick off, and unknown to him at the time, was done for the night.
Jordan Tripp was helped off the field and into the locker room in the first half and wasn’t seen again until he
re-appeared on the sideline with his right leg in a boot and walking on crutches. This is a big unfortunate setback for Tripp as he was climbing into a larger role on the Defense. Tripp missed time last season due to a chest injury.
Without hearing anything reported about the Chris McCain injury it would look as if he will be fine. We saw him roll his ankle stepping on a team mate but he walked off the field without a limp and later appeared fine.
The turnovers were a big problem last night so its hard to say that this team’s depth totally sucks. I didn’t find that to be the case. The QB’s once Tannehill left the field were rough, but there were some good individual efforts. Particularly from Zach Vigil an undrafted Free Agent who capitalized on his opportunities once Tripp left the game. Our rookie 2nd round pick Jordan Phillips showed that he will be a tough and athletic big man in the front.
Don’t let yourself get too high or too low from this meaningless game, there was good early until the ugly turnovers changed the entire complexion of the game. If the Chicago QB’s were throwing ugly pics we would have won going away and not them.
Yes Josh Freeman, worried he was running out of time to throw his pick, did manage to find a Bear defender as time was running out to seal the loss for the Fins. From a guy who was a first round draft pick and who looked like a Franchise QB at the start Freeman’s plummet is baffling. He looked tentative and unsure out there as the 4th QB of the night although there were a few throws that he made and you said hmmm that was pretty good.
With as good as the First unit looked, including the O-line, there is nothing that happened last night that has me discouraged. I think it’s good to lose preseason games. I have found that the teams who win in the preseason don’t usually win in the season; see the 2007 4-0 preseason Dolphins.
Penalty box: Anthony Johnson trying to do his best Suh impersonation jumped off sides 3 times while good ‘ol Bobby McCain has 3, count them 3 holding penalties. Gotta clean that up boys.
It was good to see Mr. Suh out there.
Finsmob Unleashed 
First!
How long did it take you 5 – 10 seconds 😉
Nice work Son. Trying not to forget that this is a preseason game, but I hate losing no matter what the stakes. The second half was very sloppy, but I am encouraged by the first unit on both sides of the ball. B McCain certainly looked like a rookie in the secondary, and Bowman looked lost out there at times, losing his receiver on simple routes on more than one occasion. I was hoping to see a better pass rush from the 2nd unit; I thought they got stood up at the line of scrimmage consistently.
Big series this weekend against Stanger’s Bucs!
You met fans just can’t help yourselves, we play our first game of the preseason last night and…
I guess what I (and others, I’m sure) am waiting to hear is what were the injuries coming out of the game and the prognosis (particularly Tripp, as his was the most obvious).
From the last page:

Morning peeps! Uk & Howie injuries are always a concern but I think we are in a much better place than last year’s team.Hell we were signing street agents in the end and that as much as anything contributed heavily to us not making the playoffs.
No need to panic until it happens and don’t forget this:
SUH WILL GLARE AT THEM AND INSTANTLY THEY WILL BE HEALTHY AGAIN.
Good job on the recap Sonny. Didn’t see one snap of this game, just listened a bit on NFL radio on my drive home when Bethel-Thompson hit Byrd for the 35 yard gain. I think we were down 10-7 at that point. Seems like I didn’t miss anything except the opening drive.
Bri
Stangers Bucs whipped our ass earlier in the year. I think we’re a different team now, but the Pirates are a very good team, and it should be a very tough series for the Mets.
Lee
So no need for MRI’s eh, just a look from Suh? 🙂
Suh is da man!
I’d rather have us play exactly as we did, than reverse the rolls and have our backups be the stars of the game. We dominated when it mattered, with the 1s in the game. Sure I was disappointed with LaMichael James, and the backup Dline (how much are these guys really going to play?), but when your starting O goes 85 yrds and scores on it’s one possession, then your starting D goes 3 and out… What more can you ask for?
Nice wrap up Son
I actually thought the first unit OL (without Albert) looked really good
Tanny wasn’t really under pressure and Miller was getting 10 yards a carry
I heard people on twitter bitching about the 3rd string OL
WTF are you talking about – we only keep 10 OL on the roster
I guess if people want to get nervous about the talent on the practice squad be my guest…
we may have been a bit misled about the OL so far in TC
OT it may be the Suh factor
This is CLASSIC My divorce hearing is at 9am and my wife went to the wrong courthouse. We were supposed to check in at 830 and she is an hour away. Hopefully this the last time I have to deal with her shit. I hope she makes it here before they get through all the other cases.
Good luck Rock
And speaking of Suh
that first few mins of defense that we got to see looked great
for whatever reason I was watchign them really confidently after the first play feeling like the Bears didn;t have a shot against them
There wasn;t much breathing room for the RBs when Suh was in the lineup
It looked like they easily shut down the run
Cam Wake’s sack didn;t stand
bc on 3rd down there were offsetting penalties
but ont hat play the ends, just crashed the pocket while the DTs stood there ground
it looked pretty awesome, like Cutler did not have a chance ont he play
maybe a more mobile QB like RG3 will be able to make something out of that – but it looked over for the Bears on that play almost immediatly after the snap
I expect to see a lot of that this year
Suh made an immediate dominant difference
After Suh was disruptive early they double teamed him on every play, but I didn’t see much out of the rest of the front, while they locked up Suh. But that’s preseason I guess.
My understanding was that Suh was taken out of the game really early, like int he middle of the Bears 2nd series
His last play was the first down catch after the Wake sack was nullified.
After the bears took the lead the fans were so happy, as if they were clueless to what really matters in the preseason.
And that after struggling mightily getting zero TDs on 4 trips in our redzone, before they actually did score.
on 4th down no less after being shut down on 3rd down
I guess if you pay for a ticket you just want to see your team win
More than the fans, I was a little surprised to see how important the game seemed to the Bears
They took Cutler out after 2 series, but then left Clausen in until the 4th qtr
He threw 27 passes last night, which is a little crazy from a #2
I guess the Bears aren;t really even going to look at their #3 and #4 qbs
but even more than playing Clausen
our 3rd Qb threw some horrible ints
and the Bears were 10-9
they could not convert on 3rd and short, so they went for it on 4th down and that was their first TD
I’m not sure how that translates into the reg season for them
They should be really disappointed that a PS squad QB turned the ball over giving them great field position and their backup QB could not score against srcubs
it was a pretty pathetic performance for the Bears offense when you really break it down
winning 27-10 kind of clouds how bad they were
.
well said
Okay that post went through.
Good recap, Son. We’re past the 1st PS game. There are still some jobs to be won. Back to work guys.
In the past we would’ve had a performance like the bears put on, getting blown away when the first teamers were playing, then winning with the scrubs and been all proud of ourselves.
Good luck today Rock! Hope it goes real smooth and real fast, and you get to finally put this behind you.
Ditto!
Win or lose didn’t matter last night. What mattered was the ones. One of he best sound bites I have heard in a long time was Jared Allen being interviewed by NFL radio this morning and he talked about being handed a piece of humble pie last night. That was damn good to hear.
Rock:
I hear shit like that all the time. The judges bitch and moan but do nothing about stuff like that. Hang in there and hopefully it is all over today.
All the best for the future Rock.
Starters looked good. Tannehill was sharp & in control, but what was he thinking on that side arm sling attempt on the botched screen? He has to make a better decision there. Back ups were mostly horrible, but a few looked like they might be worth something ( Phillips, Vigil, Hamilton, maybe one or two others). Anthony Johnson should be looking for a job today. He’s a fucking DT. LOOK AT THE BALL JACKASS! … Overall, it’s the first pre season game . Nothing to get too high or low about, but I am slightly concerned with the depth right now. We could be a couple of injuries away from 7-9. It was good to see Bazooka Joe looking exasperated and disgusted at the struggles of his back ups. Much better than the detached, clueless looks that I have become accustomed to…lol
nice job son. I agree. The starters looked good. That’s all I care about. The o-line was decent. I didn’t actually see the game but read the twitter feeds. I’ll watch it tonight.
The OL didn’t look like a problem but I’m not sure how good the Bears DL is. They have some former stars but they’re getting older.
I think our dline is legit. can’t wait till the redskins game. RGIII will be running for his life.
rock
good luck and make sure when it is finally over, just to fuck with her some, just walk up to her and high five her
Thanks for the post game info Son. I didn’t see much of it at all so at least I didn’t miss anything awesome! 😉
I watched some of the pats game and Garoppolo looked like shit. If brady is suspended I can see the pats easily going 1-3. I think they still beat the jags.
good Luck with that Rock. You’ll be free soon 🙂
It is very hard to fully evaluate what the final result of this game. Most of the guys who played and were responsible for this loss will not be on the roster. Just about anything that happened after half time is truly meaningless.
That’s the thing. The coaches will watch the tape and see which guys did what they were taught and sort them out of the mix. I did notice Vigil was always around the ball. Stuff like that they have to find.
Not only is the Bears D-line not especially talented, but they’re in the process of switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 alignment.
Ratliff was a good player, but he’s 57 years old now, so can’t expect much from him. lol
At least he’s not older than Brandon Weeden, who turns 60 this year.

well no it isnt. how do you evaluate something that has no meaning……basically you dont. even if tanny looked horrible the first series who cares. it is the first action in a 8 months. there is nothing to evaluate.
LOL @ Mike E
Now that shit is funny!
FFR the voice of reason? 🙂
Who – you missed the t off reason!
Wyo – ****ing autocorrect
Suh made an immediate dominant difference
—————————————————-
FIRST PLAY for bears the guy responsible jumped offsides–i guess he got nervious
next play- suh lines up facing center they try to run to side of suh and wake 53 lbjenkins shoots gap untouched for 2 yard loss.
3rd play- suh lines up differentlty 1.5 yds off LOS angled inward towards center 2players OL coverhim 2 yds gain
4th play –suh lines up angled towards center- pass attempt 3 players chep suh incomplete or short of 1st down.
suh did shove a player without getting penalty I think thats when 1st unit was taken out
Did Josh Freeman play last night, and if not, anyone know why?
Yes he did and he didn’t look good.
He didn’t cover himself in glory by all accounts!
Thanks Tim, UK. Not a big deal, yet . . . I would have liked Freeman to show well.
We’ve got a #1, a #2 then nothing.
Mike … Freeman played in the 4th quarter. He made a couple of decent throws, but he really had no chance with the garbage they had him out there with.
I thought Jared Allen at LB played very good.He made some drops into secondary and he rushed the qb very good. He looks like he will do good making the transition from DE to OLB
He’s a good player, always has been.
1st drive for us overcame 2 holding penalties and we still scored. I think we started at 15 also
“Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 5m5 minutes ago
Ryan Tannehill has no problems getting hot and flashing for a series, half, stretch of games. His problem is he can’t consistently do it”
Finally. The Trained Eye is here to set the record straight.
LOL, more QB talk from the man who does not talk QBs.
jenning made a difficult catch look ordinary in first drive. He catches the ball smoothly with his hands.
Poor Omar, stretch of games is a form of consistency. I had to turn the pile off after about 5 minutes in the third. MBT is awful and I just didn’t want to watch guys who aren’t going to make a difference honestly.
Son should be the Unleashed’s local beat reporter. Can we get him a mike and access to the locker room?
“Turner did well for himself and even played into the 3rd quarter at the RG spot.” Didn’t notice how long he played, but great catch. Sounds like we only have a question at one G spot.
All the other G spots have been taken care of. LOL
LOL — and I have a question about that one too….if I ever find it, it wasn’t cause I knew where it was. 🙂
“Hopefully this the last time I have to deal with her shit.”
Rock — that’s the exact attitude to have. Get it over and done with and then move on. Nothing else makes sense.
Bat
So it wasn’t really Freeman, it was the rest of the team?
Mike .. Freeman wasn’t great, but he showed enough IMO to warrant a look with some representative talent around him. He was getting pressure almost immediately as the scrub o-line was being man handled by the Bears scrub d-line. He also had a couple of drops. Only Cobi Hamilton looked like an NFL receiver
Jetssuck,
On your analysis of Suh, keep in mind too that Suh & the Bears know each others tendencies having been divisional opponents the last 5 years. Wait till Suh gets a bite out of people that barely have never lined up against him or have only 1 or 2 times in their life.
yes u r correct divisional oppts they r not going to know much about him except from tape. He could be saving some pre snap alignments for those games. I don’t think I saw him line up in gap or real close to wake or michell or suh close to each other
I like to talk more about the G spot 🙂
Go to the front of the boat and talk to the man in charge! 😉
In other news…LOL
I’d like to see us pick him up if he is cut. He could help us in 2 point conversions with his versatility. I’m sure he could help us in other areas also like 3rd TE or trick formations
Uh no! LOL
Jetssuck,
Speaking of film study, one thing that T Brady always operates with is awareness. This happened last year but shows that Tom knows when to dump the football ASAP lol
looks like they had right call for suh.I wonder if he audibled into that play when they saw him lining up in the gap.
Look at the footwork of the center and guard is amazing. Both are in sych on same foot as other. That’s yrs of working together
Somebody had to chip Suh. No way they design a free shot on Brady (Suh created a knockdown which is never planned by n OC scheme )
I think the guard half assed chipped suh which is why brady got pushed to ground. Maybe they didn’t know he was that fast. Looks like suh took 3 large steps and brady only took 3 small backpendals. Looks like he is playing right DT in this play also. He is definitely going to be a disruptive force along the DL.
Here we are worried about one or two guard spots while the Eagles did what? LOL
I mean, come on Omar…good/great QBs dont; score TDs on very drive
You just need to have a few good drives during the course of the game
Most time when an offense scores a lot of points it’s because there were some turnovers in there and they keep getting the ball back, and on a short field.
nothing like live action to get this blog humming again. 🙂
LOL
Llol
this is what Rivers reminds me of with that face lol
I liked seeing the long 8 minute drive end in a TD. I wish we could have seen a “quick strike” 2 minute type drive for a TD from the 1’s too.
Tannehill only played the one series.
Yes, I watched it. LOL
I WISH it would have been more Tannehill and less Moore…

Rockphin—-here’s something u might want to check out I don’t want to seem like a holey roller. My family does go to church, me not so much lately. My wife co-supervises a single group of about 50 for our church and they have singles nights every night of week my wife supervises 1 night a week of the 5 nights . They have nightly competitive events like soccer, basketball, chess, bowling, volleyball and other sports against other churches single groups every night. At the end of the season they have a ceremony for top church teams and then they have a cruise for all the churches together. My wife is responsible for 12-or 13 marriages. It’s a great way of meeting singles instead of going to bars although after some events some always go to bars from both sides for evening caps and socializing. They have events on the weekends like visiting different events for weekends. The only thing I don’t like is to join you have to sit with the priest for a interview for 1 hour for a orientation. Our father Leo is real cool he smokes cigars and is known to drink at socializing events. No one deserves to go through life alone
JS — that is really cool of your wife. Being part of a dozen marriages is pretty cool.
If I was Rock I’d do it……also getting a kick out of him at a Christian singles event. He might need a muzzle though, but then not every day is like a Phins game. 🙂
rock,
you can do all that work jetsssuck said of just invest in a sofa like i did and your life is so much simpler
Thank you Jetssuck. I am not much of a Church person unfortunately.
I am watching the closing minutes of the Game again on NFLN and getting plastered on Lemonade and vodka
LOL
Don’t mean you couldn’t check out though. Maximize all opportunities, including getting a puppy.
you don’t have to be much of a church goer for these events. Some people r holley rollers but most are not. If I was single I’d be trying to increase my chances with events for singles.The setting is better than going to bars or worse yet not even trying to hook up with singles. You have a good personalty and deserve to have someone in your life. I understand it may be to early to start dating again so just keep open your options.
Rob, is that Piggy’s cousins you have leashed up?? Ummmm inappropriate to post on here don’t you think? I mean what you and Piggy’s consenting cousins do on your own time is one thing but do you have to try and embarrass Piggy’s family by posting the pics?
Besides, no offense to Piggy, I have never been with a pig and would rather be alone.
Nice return by Aultman with 12 secs remaining….33 yards
LOL Freeman had to hurry up to get that Int in….

tell u the truth i turned it off at halftime but hopefully recorded 2nd half correctly. I know I hit one of the red buttons
I think we may need a “safe word” this afternoon guys. I am getting pretty fucked up. If I get out of hand why don’t we us Zucchini as the safe word.

Any word on Chris McCain’s injury? I know he walked off the field on his own and was standing on the sidelines the rest of the game so it couldn’t have been that bad.
Can’t find a thing on any of the injuries we had.
Tripp also. Did he get hurt before the game? This could open the door for Vigil who looked good.
J Walker tells you what really mattered last night……as if you didn’t already know.
————————
When it was starters vs. starters, the Dolphins looked …: Very good. Miami’s offense was on the field for just one drive but went 85 yards for a touchdown against Chicago’s first-team defense. Miami’s defense also forced a three-and-out with the Bears’ first-team offense and took some starters out after a few plays in the second drive.
I have no idea when Tripp got hurt, or the extent of his injury. I didn’t see any of the game.
I was trying to get the game on when I heard he was out. I got the feeling it happened during warm ups but not sure.
He left with an ankle injury, happened during the game
http://mia.247sports.com/Bolt/Dolphins-LB-Jordan-Tripp-exits-game-with-ankle-injury-38728749
Tripp must have gotten hurt on the kickoff then because I believe they mentioned it during the first drive.
I started watching when we got to about the redzone on the first drive. I believe it was Tim that posted a link. I didn’t see Tripp at all.
Hamilton looked bad early, but then came on later, seemed he was the only WR on the field at one point. Part of the issue with our backup QB play were the WRs, I don’t remember seeing Matthews after the first drive, so it was Hazel and farther down. I think Hazel will be gone, unless he picks it up, he was bad.
I had high hopes for Hazel when we drafted him as a developmental guy but I have yet to see anything from him in games. Yeah Hamilton actually looked the part.
ok, which one of you bastards slipped rock the ole zucchini.
rock, you do know you are suppose to hear the safe word before you quit dont you?
I’d rather have Gillislee make the team instead of LaMichael. James can’t run the ball, and neither can Damien, even though I like Damien as the 3rd down back.
Kind of unfair, we only use Williams as a back out of the backfield and give him some short yardage rushes. Then again it was one PS game. 🙂
He’s just too small and isn’t fast enough. We don’t have the luxury of keeping him with Ajayi hurt.
Stupid is as stupid says:
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 23h23 hours ago
The struggle is real with this third-team offensive line….Where is the depth?
Why does anyone care about the 3rd teamers, they won’t make the team.
Steve, are you talking about Williams? He’s the #2 right now. Williams is 5-11 220+?
I was talking about LaMike, neither can run the ball, but Williams is real good catching the ball and making guys miss.
Raiders have a female doing play by play. Takea a little getting used to. But kudos to her and them.

Come on guys, you know you’re not 40 anymore!
I’m not even 50 anymore. I kinda knew I’d pay for it today, but I couldn’t get this group together on a Saturday, so Friday it was.
I thought MBT looked good enough to keep on the practice squad as the scout team QB and a worthy camp arm to give all the wideouts reps since we have like 27 of them right now. But he can’t be trusted yet to be Moore’s back-up if Tannehill is out for an extended period of time.
I think what they might be doing on the sneak is getting Freeman ready to be brought back in that case to serve as Moore’s backup and maybe even his replacement if Tannehill is really hurt and Moore badly struggles so that we stay headed into the playoffs. 🙂
They could cut Freeman with little risk of him getting picked up by another team, but this way he would be totally up to speed on the offense and in close to game shape without wasting a roster spot on a QB3.
If he starts to shine maybe at some point they move on from Moore’s bigger contract, especially next year when Suh’s crunches us while trying to keep OV etc.
If Tannehill is really hurt, we’re done. I don’t think we can go far with any of the 3 backups we currently have.
True but there has to be some kinda plan, some guy to put in. Maybe we would need to trade for Mettenberger if that happened.
We have a plan. Moore is the backup, and beyond that it really doesn’t matter. If we don’t think Freeman has the potential to replace Moore next year, and we like the potential of Bethel-Thompson, then keep MBT. No team is winning a SB with their 3rd QB.
I thought LaMike looked lost as a returner and slow and tentative as a RB. I say give Gills some meaningful minutes vs. the Panthers and ignore the fumble as a learning moment unless he makes it a trend. He has way more burst and make-em-miss than James. I say give Aultman real ops on kick returns and if he can do it we should cut James even if DeMar goes on the PS and Landry or Williams goes back to field kicks.
I strongly disagree with your dismissal of my comment Mike E.
There has to be some reasoning in the Front Office as to why they bothered to try to help Freeman resurrect his career, and it has to be more than the fact that Hickey was with him in Tampa and just “likes him.”
**
I like to think that this type of planning for a more smooth future and having an elegant Plan C in place is how Tannenbaum is superior to the previous guy who frequently seemed to be caught off-guard.
**
Freeman is no ordinary QB3. He is a former First Rounder and a former star in this league, but he is in almost no danger of getting poached off his sofa and at the same time would be grateful for us giving him this shot, and so he would maybe repay us by sitting at home and being ready to come back to us if that is the best deal he can get.
**
How many teams have such a plan in place?

The Dolphins, who are rebranding their facility as a new stadium, expect to have a new stadium name by next August.

Quick drive by and a possible sales outlet for Jahndoh. If God can’t get his beers on the bar who can?
Good luck Jahndoh

Guy, regarding information on the injured players, it is “season” now. Phiben like Bill Belichick will only release the injury information when they have to per league rules.
Pear juice? Man I had no time to go out and get any pear juice. I was in a rush to get hammered after my divorce hearing. I was fully aware that I would have a hangover last night and again this morning. It was penance for being so stupid as to marry that woman
As long as your happy is all that matters. A new chapter of your life is beginning. enjoy it!

My apology. I didn’t think I dismissed your comment. I agree that Freeman was/is a possibility to be the #2 for the future, I said that. I just mean once your starting QB goes down, it’s usually the end of the SB run.
From Mando: “Turner didn’t have any awful look-at-me-screw-up moments. He was otherwise anonymous, which is good for an offensive lineman.”
Heck — I’ll be happy if Turner starts and I never hear is game again all season.
agreed. I think he played well. He did have a couple of hiccups but that’s expected. I thought thomas player well also.
BTW the holding on fox was such bullshit. The pats hold like that all the time and never ever get called.

I thought I came on the “Wives of Dolphins fans” site.
I got the Dolphins feed for the game the CBS 4 Home of the Dolphins feed which featured Stockton, Griese and Moore. The best part of the night was Moore trying to tell a story and his words just weren’t coming out right (read I had no idea wtf he was saying) and so he pauses himself and says “excuse me I’m tied tongue”. LOL what a mess no you weren’t Nat you were tongue-tied.
