Game 4 of the Preseason. This is the most important game for many of the guys on the team. The ones who are working and hoping to make the team. It’s their last opportunity to impress, to catch the eye of the coaching staff and make the team. And if not the Dolphins, then perhaps another team will notice and pick them up after cuts are made. For some, it may be the end of their hopes to be an NFL player. I wish them all luck and thank them for their efforts.

Looking good
Without the Orange seats, the hurricanes will not fit in as well with their shade of green.
they need their own stadium
Agreed- but the banana republic that is Miami Dade will never get that done- and Miami is a poor private school, comparatively. They’d need a much better booster system than the one they have in place now.
Abramson brings up a nice point. Our last five might not be easy…….but no cold weather either.
“Miami closes the season with four of five at home: hosting Baltimore and the Giants, traveling to San Diego and then finishing at home against the Colts and Patriots.”
I mentioned that when the schedule came out
No cold weather games is the first thing I look for…lol
the toughest part of that schedule is between week 8 and week 12
If we went 2-2 in that span I would be happy
6-0 first six games
2-2 next 4
4-2 final 6 games
that’s 12-4
lets do it!
The suspension for Brady was never about being an advantage for the Dolphins to me, it was about the Pats shenanigans over the years and enough is enough.

No doubt the NFL screwed up.
lol, ok. so then why are you arguing with me. admit it, you just like my attention dont you
I don’t view them as allowing Brady to get away with it so no I don’t agree with you. LOL
SB7MVP,
Glad to see you and your great sense of humor here.
Trypod,
True on the Hurricanes home games. Maybe with today’s technology they can just find a way to filter the aqua color on screen with a green one LOL.
I got your technology right here
Good point- at least for the tv audience. Those on the stands are screwed.
Flying Pig,
The county/city politics in South Florida are a joke to be frank.
The most obvious site for a Canes stadium would be Tropical Park over the existing grounds of a football/track stadium that was just renovated (after 20 years of nothing) over the last 8 months for this new HS season.
They need to work on something there.
Yep- right down Bird road is all the land you need, and it’s not terribly far from campus.
isn’t bird road 40 street
40th ave
Hell, it could be street- I’ve forgotten more than I remember after so long being gone.
What Jetssuck said (40th St & 79th Avenue). Sits between Miller (56th St) and Bird
tim,
like all the hype for the season and what not. i am just a bottom line guy. bottom line brady got away with it. it is all a fucking joke.
i am really glad to hear the nfl is going to appeal the decision. i think that gives them some character.

Jetsssuck,
How about my original question? Do you think Brady and the Patriots did nothing wrong and that “The deflator” really was just a term defining weight loss?
LOL, how they forget all the lies leading up to this point.
Right? I mean there aren’t a lot of people that thought the NFL handled this well, but the circumstantial evidence is plain to see. The idea that some stupid equipment guy is just going to decide to do this all himself is absurd. Not to mention the Pets FIRED him, lol.
yes I believe he was nicknamed that for his weight. It could be also his nickname for preparing balls for inspection before games which teams are allowed to adjust to anything between 12.5 to 13.5 lbs. I don’t believe no one can deflate 10 balls in 1minute 40 seconds as the wells report says.I think he honestly went to the last bathroom before hitting the field. I know sometimes I spent a minute or two pissing and then adding washing my hands takes time. How anyone can deflate all the balls in the bag in 1.40minutes is very hard to do.The camera’s filmed him everywhere from the referee’s room to the bathroom and then the field and he was not filmed while the bathroom for 1 minute 40 seconds.
Try Pod says:
September 3, 2015 at 1:18 pm
It would be a start…
i would be happy if they just start winning 10-11 games a year again
I think golden will have to go before that happens.
I think he’s canned this year and as early as mid season.
FFR
if its for the canes home games, that would mean they have to do that for 50,000 empty seats
—-
LOL. They can invest in alot of canvass covers (the same shit the Marlins did at home games there).
Or they could borrow FFR’s tent. LOL
There is no shortage of drama this mid day.
Kraft in his response today says he blames NFL lawyers and not Goodell (what an ass kisser).
I still maintain as to why would Tom Brady discuss a reduction of penalty to 1 game (admit to taking even 1 game penalty) if there wasn’t some sense of rules violation on his part?
It’s simple.
Try Pod says:

Jetsssuck,
How about my original question?
now that right there is ape like thinking. thinking a troll would have a rationale discussion with you.
dude why r u so confrontational have I done something personality to u?
Not sure if it was mentioned before, but Mando says the Phins are shopping Will Davis.
Not sure if that is good or bad. Putting aside the guy isn’t up to snuff…….seems they both think he might have trade value and that they like the guys they have going deep. Dude is on a rook contract.
The NFL still hasn’t taken any additional measures for game balls before games.
Not true Jetsuck. I read an article the other day that laid out a substantial change to how game balls will be treated and protected. They have already instituted changes to prevent this from happening again. I cannot find the link right now.
LOL — under the new rules the balls are going to be treated like gold at Fort Knox. They are even going to have an NFL security official supervising each of the two refs that do the checks.
Oh yeah they’re going to great lengths this year with officials and security personnel only moving the balls around.
good to know.thanks i missed it
Thanks Try
What say you about Volin Stanger?
It was on the board yesterday. Volin tweeted that you’d tried to join (assume his blog or something) and that it got lost in the mix. 98% positive it was you rather than another familiar handle…….you can check.
Just checked. My bad dude — quick reading and bad memory made this to be something other than it was.

LOL
innocent man was being charged for doing nothing wrong. This is a victory for labor and being that labor day is close its a victory for all.
FUCK ALL! He is not innocent and the judges findings didn’t even address guilt or innocence. The NFL broke procedure that is all. The fucking piece of shit cheater told the attendants to let air out of the ball. You believe the BULLSHIT that the “deflator” was just loosing weight? Please. Party on Garth.
That’s the same mentality that elects the liars and cheats into public office in this country. They believe the BS.
That is basically the long and short of it
The NFL botched everything
if you can make any argument in favor of Brady, you can say “there was not string enough evidence to punish him”
But that is not exactly innocent
Hey SB7! Good to see you on! How’s life?
How much you wanna bet that up here in the Orlando area we get stuck with the Yuc’s announcers for tonight’s game
I think the best thing to the NFl to do is to drop this idea of an “investigation” everytime a contraversy appears
Its just makes a mountain out of a molehill
they could have easily treated this like too much pine tar on the bat and punished Brady
Big E @ian693 2m2 minutes ago
I guess if O.J. Simpson can get away with murder, #TomBrady can get away with deflating footballs. #LegalSystemWorks
I have to wonder how they are going to let teams prepare new out of the box super bowl balls. You know they let teams prepare balls of individual teams with different leather conditioners and conditioners of the teams discretion during the regular season and playoffs
WTF

tim,
what the f-ing hell. you are such a dick. like brady getting away with cheating wasnt enough bad shit for the day now you have to go and remind me of my poor tent. now i am going to cry.
Jetsssuck,
Thanks for answering the question. If you believe that, then you believe it. I think we’ve reached the point where there is nothing else constructive to say except for – GO DOLPHINS!! Cheers.
what’s that saying lets “agree to disagree” to the deflate thing. Go fins
Yep.
The Fins are going to have a good year and hopefully dethrone the Pets with or without Brady.
i thought the biggest reason for brady’s punishment was for his non-cooperation with the investigation. if that was the case, how can the court over turn anything. it is a fact he destroyed his phone and didn turn over evidence.
and at the same time as part reason for overturn “Brady was also denied equal access to investigative files, including witness interview notes, and wasn’t permitted to examine one of two lead investigators”, the judge said.

Here’s a photo of Tom Brady testifying before the judge.

***********************************
Since when are the people who are being investigated given privilege to see what the investigators find? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, and I frankly don’t understand it.
And would his destroying the phone not fall under this same heading ??
Toba
That seems to get pushed aside somehow. Excellent point. The NFL tries to gather evidence, but it is stonewalled by the destroyed phone, but Brady should have been able to see what evidence was gathered against him. Bizarre.
I thought that guy looked familiar. I never realized it was Brady doing those Geico commercials. lol
It does look like him. LOL
That nose doubles as a deflating pin, just in case you didn’t know.
Like most cases where both sides have the means to appeal things endlessly, this has moved beyond whether laws/rules were broken and level of guilt. Everyone outside of Boston knows the patsies will use any means available to them if they think it gives them an edge and they can get away with it. Not totally different from a lot of members of the NFL, but they seem to excel at it better than anyone else. The fact that most people view their accomplishments with an asterisk is good enough for me. Let’s get on with football and move beyond this crap.
Headed to watch my Utes tonight against the Harbaughs. Go Utes! Go Fins!
Go Utes…….enjoy.

Are there two utes, or are there more? lol
The two utes…
The two what?
Thanks Kong, just in case it slipped by . . .

hey btw. since i got mad respect for you. i just wanted to let you know i did go back to the ask mike then skipped right past the article. i mean if you go the the trouble that is the least i can do for you.

17-year-old Davon Luckett and 19-year-old Reed Williams pulled a gun on a juvenile near his school bus stop and robbed him of his “Chrome” Air Jordan VI Lows.
“You need to come up out of those shoes,” one of the robbers allegedly told the victim before cocking his gun. The men absconded with the kicks, which had just dropped last Saturday.
One of the perps posted pictures of the haul on social media. It didn’t take long for police to identify the men and issue arrest warrants, hitting both with felony aggravated assault and armed robbery charges.
BUT WAIT — it gets even worse. “Davon Luckett was wearing the stolen Jordan VI sneakers at the time of the arrest,”
grrrrooooooosssssss.
stanger wears a #2
what are you related to david.
LOL — given the context, you had to do a couple connections to get that one in though.
Didnt take much thought to connect those dots though lol…its practically a straight line of dots given the MANY time we have heard that story.
Stanger,
Big series between the Bucos and Cards this weekend! I never watch regular season MLB but I’m setting time aside to watch this series. It’s going to be fun.
Including this weekend the Cards still have 12 games left against the Pirates and Cubs.
All 3 teams are impressive. The Cards are just out of this world, but anything can happen in a series though, even a 7 game series.
Cards are definitely beatable. Our pitching is great but our hitting is very streaky. And neither the Bucs nor the Cards want to get stuck in a one game playoff. This weekend is going to be a serious fight.
Bigger series for us than you guys. Right now I’m worried about not getting swept by the Brewers tonight.
Not sure how sound the methodology but some computer site said the Pirates have like an 8-9 percent chance at the division today……think that about right. BUt yeah I’ll be watching.
Here’s to a clean, fun, hard-fought series, Bro. (raises glass)
My boys always play hard, but as to “clean”………they do tend to throw inside.
Nothing wrong with throwing inside. All the best do it. 🙂
anybody see this few days ago

i dont follow the cubs, but know joe maddon left here for there. from what i know is the cubs use to be bottom dwellers. so did the cubs pick up some talent of is maddon that good of a coach he has them contenders now
The Cubs are loaded with young talent and Madden is very good.
There has been no exoneration of Brady, no vote of innocence, only proof that the Judge felt that the evidence supporting his guilt and the penalty levied did not seem consistent with one another. They rule to dismiss the 4 game suspension, which is different from saying he did’t deserve any suspension. They were not there to change the ruling but to determine if the ruling was just. All the talk of innocence is misplace, only one piece of evidence could have proven innocence and guilt and the person that would have benefited most from being proven innocent chose to destroy it instead of bringing it forward. The judgement of innocence can therefore only be reasoned out using common sense.
Anyone think they let Suh/Wake/Mitchell/Vernon play a little in this game. Im really hoping to see them smash Jameis. I know we plan on sitting most of our starters, but sometimes they let the big guys go, like OL and DL for a few series, just to continue to gel as a unit.
I doubt it.
i think it was from trail date when the artist screqwed up

Howie,
My guide shows that the game will be on both 27 and 9. I would bet the 27 feed will continue to be the Fins feed. They showed all 4 last year too. I really like this arrangement.

Phillips had that Guard dancing backwards.
Center
I heard brady was smiling so much he got another endorsemnt from Col Gate
Weird drawing, was he turning into a werewolf? LOL
It looks piggyshopped, but by somebody else
looks like from the first trial date where the artist got him completely wrong
SOB!
Don’t cry GDP. lol
Big night for Freeman tonight. I really hope he does well. He’s much better suited athletically to run this team if the unthinkable were to happen. I image he’ll get extensive playing time tonight. MBT ain’t ready, probably never will be.
He does have a connection with Hickey.
Why? No one else is going to sign him, if something does happen to RT we could always bring him back, but by cutting him you use a roster spot for someone that might actually get on the field at some time during the game.
I hope brady gets what he deserves next thursday night
It would be ironic if he got hurt and missed the next 4 games. LOL
that’s what I’m hoping for 🙂
That Steeler D better turn something on, they’ve looked bad so far.
LOL, that would be awesome!
Steel Curtain looks more like Satin Curtain
James Harrison is even older than Brandon Weeden.
Harrison called the Steelers defense a Burger King defense.

LOL – Thanks Tim, I can’t post a damn link at work.

I’d like to see those 2 combine for about 17 TD’s!

yes u did…was it the same website?
No, I don’t remember which site it was, the body seems to have been cut and pasted from the same place, but there were no videos on the page that I read it from. Might have been PBP that i read it on…..Not sure or I would have posted it earlier.
So, Josh McNary (ex-backup LB & ST player for the Colts) was found not guilty on all charges stemming from a rape allegation last year. He was put on the “commissioner’s exempt list” back in January. I wonder if the Colts take him back now or if his NFL career is over because he brought the wrong girl back to his place?
Another AFC team with turmoil, what’s next?
#Stangertogether
LOL, right on
Fred Jackson cut is stirring some stink in Buffalo it seems. Apparently the GM did this without really consulting with Ryan or Russ Brandon, the teams president. Now the cutting was his decision to make, but Ryan isnt use to not being in control of the moves made and a lot of backlash from cutting of such an favored player has brought a lot of scrutiny towards the administration from fans.
Damn can Rex go anywhere and bullshit not follow him lol. He’s already promising Superbowls and getting in a power-struggle with the GM.
That’s what I like in our division, outside of Miami, turmoil, the more the merrier.
This deflategate couldn’t be going better, just like I’ve said all along drag it out as far as possible, keep Brady’s mind off of the game (NFL appealing today’s decision). I want the league mad at the cheats to the point that they stop getting all the calls, fuck the suspension.
You did say that
Hopefully they don;t ignore the blatant holds on wake anymore
Parker is starting tonight
but his Qb is Bethel-Thompson whatever whatever his name is
i heard they want to get him in the game to get some plays under his belt. Maybe a series without even getting the ball thrown his way is possible.
That’s dangerous against some hack that isn’t going to make an NFL roster.
sort of sounds like jake long vs dallas in pre season. I think they will just line him up in a game situation without risking any contact. Let him get a couple of plays in to let him run on ankle to gain confidence going
Omar is talking about RTs dinking and dunking, but what he doesn’t mention is his mid-range to deep WRs have been out at some pt in the preseason. When we’re at full strength come opening day lookout.
parker playing is good news for today after a series of shitty news.
Playing, as in playing tonight?
Oh, I see he’s starting, it’s going to be fun to watch, but…
Im kinda waiting for the Barkley cut, id rather have Barkley than Moore with how Moore has played this PS. I think the coaches like him too, they apparently tried to work a trade for him before draft.
As an alternate plan I like Shane Carden too but only as a PS guy for this year. Keep Moore this year and see what we have in Carden next year. He is extremely good intermediate range passer, lacks a big arm so his deep passes are not as true, but given our offense works best off mid range, i dont think it would be a hindrance to eventually have him as a backup.
Moore will be fine playing with the starters, if we need him in there, he’s a gamer.

I agree. Just no setbacks please . . . .
Hopefully he does fine.
