The 2018 Miami Dolphins have put all their eggs in the Ryan Tannehill basket. For better or for worse, the success or failure of this team will rest on the shoulders, right arm and knees of Ryan Tannehill. This is his year to succeed, his year to finally have the successful season the Dolphins have always hoped he could reach. In 2016, Tannehill was playing close to that level in the final 8 games he played until the unfortunate knee injury which ended up sidelining him for the rest of the ’16 season and the entire 2017 season. This even includes the annual thrashing by the Baltimore Ravens game in which we lost 38-6. Tannehill over the last 8 games had his best NFL stretch, playing to a top 10 QB level. He threw for 1721 yards, with a 69% completion rate with 13 TD’s and 5 INT’s, for an excellent 100.09 NFL QBR. This is what I’d like to see Ryan Tannehill have as his baseline, and maybe play even better, throw more TD’s, and help this team win more games. I think it’s possible. Gase has constructed this team as much in the image he wants as possible in 3 years. The offensive line should be improved with Laremy Tunsil at LT, Josh Sitton at LG, Dan Kilgore at C, Jesse Davis at RG and Ja’Wuan James at RT. He brought in Gore to teach our young backs how to conduct themselves as professionals. Gore, Drake, Ballage and whoever have the talent to move the football. We have some crafty veterans in Kenny Stills, Danny Amendola, and we also have the speedy slot man Albert Wilson, as well as the ultra-fast Jakeem Grant. If Devante Parker ever plays up to his potential, we may have one of the most dangerous WR corps in the NFL. That’s our starting QB, let’s take a look at the rest.
Brock Osweiler QB – 6’7″ 240
Osweiler came into the NFL in the same draft as Ryan Tannehill. He was a 2nd RD pick (57th overall) to the Denver Broncos, who at that time had the great Peyton Manning as their starter. Osweiler finally got his chance to start in 2016 and it wasn’t pretty. Osweiler completed under 60% of his passes (59.02%), throwing for 2957 yards along with 15 TD’s, and 16 INT’s and a QBR of 72.2. Not pretty. In 2017, Trevor Siemian won the starting job, so Osweiler managed to play in only 6 games with 4 starts, and it wasn’t any better than 2016 for Brock. Osweiler was drafted for near elite arm strength, but his accuracy and decision making have countered any arm talent he possesses. He wil, face some stiff competition for the backup QB job here in Miami from David Fales, who Gase brought over from the Chicago Bears. Maybe Gase can work some magic with the big fella, he’ll have to if Osweiler is going to ever help us.
___________________________________________________________
David Fales QB – 6’2″ 213
Fales was the backup QB in Chicago when Jay Cutler was the QB. During the 2016 season, the Bears employed 5 different QB’s when Cutler struggled with injuries, with names such as Jay Cutler, Matt Barkley, Brian Hoyer, Cameron Meredith, and of course David Fales. Fales only appeared in one game for the Bears that season, and it was very late in the game. In 2017, Gase brought Fales to the Dolphins (Along with Jay Cutler after Tannehill was ruled out for the season). Fales appeared in the final game of the 2017 season against Buffalo, and played fairly well in a 22-16 loss. That was the fateful game where Landry was ejected for extracurricular activities. So not a huge body of work to see, but I do recall Fales looking pretty good in the 2017 preseason, for what that’s worth. Fales definitely has a chance to be our backup, especially if Osweiler continues on his current trajectory.
__________________________________________________________
Bryce Petty QB – 6’3″ 230
First off, if the NY Jets cast away a QB, why would ANYONE even look at them? Petty was a fiery, competitive, team leader for the Baylor Bears. Yes, it was a spread offense, as many college offenses are, so he needed a lot of work playing under center and going through progressions. Well, he didn’t progress well in the NY Jet organization, and when he did get a chance to play, it was pretty miserable. As a draftee, he was a QB who had better than average arm strength, good size, and very good leadership characteristics. He led Baylor to 2 back to back Big 12 championships. He had a great college career with impressive stats and pedigree. He will be a dark horse to even make the team, we have carried 2 QB’s in the past, including last season until Fales was added to the roster in late October. Petty has little time to really impress to earn a roster spot here, and it’s very unlikely he can pull that off.
So that’s where we stand at the QB position. It’s basically Ryan Tannehill or bust, and I’m actually OK with that. I feel like with a better O-line, Sitton on the left side next to Tunsil, and Kilgore opening up holes for our run game, it will make things easier for Tannehill as the Dolphins offense will be more efficient. Hey, I waited till the very last paragraph to mention we actually drafted a TE, TWO of them! As we all know, a TE can be a QB’s best friend, and now Tannehill has at least 2. I’m excited to see our new offense take the field. This truly will be a team effort, and we will not be relying on any 1 superstar to take over a game. We have plenty of options on offense, with the aforementioned WR corps, with Gore, Drake and Ballage, as well as the TE’s Gesicki and Smythe and maybe Derby, Gray or Escobar, whomever wins that 3rd TE spot. I wouldn’t take any one Dolphins player in a Fantasy Football league this season, I think a lot of our players are going to be involved, we’re really going to spread the ball around. This is ideal for #17.
GO DOLPHINS!

M13, there sure does seem to be a lot of violence going on these days. Maybe it’s our access to so much information these days that we know everything that’s going on, but there sure seems to be a lot of shootings and homicides. A lot of really disgusting stuff too.
————————————-
It the slide of humanity. When people no longer value life, their own or others, then you are going to see the depravity of humans. A lot of what we do that is heinous, is complete disregard for anything but our own id desires. Combine that with no real fear of consequence and rise in mental instability and you will see things becoming commonplace that should be rare and unheard of. We do “notice” more of it than we use to because of tools like the internet that link us across the world, but its on the rise too, and there is no doubting that.
An overhaul of the media needs to take place in my opinion. In this particular event the guy had been harassing a former classmate and legal action was taken, then the newspaper writes a story about it with some untruths in it. Why is the media provoking this guy?
The media needs to be held accountable for articles they write that aren’t true. Of course the guy shouldn’t have taken the law into his own hands, but why provoke an unstable person?
This guy was at the point where he really didn’t care any longer what would happen to him. Something needs to change, but not sure what the correct remedy would be for harassers. Do you only make them go through mental health help only after threatening someone after a court case like this or everytime after some type of conviction?

ORob, it wasn’t just injuries that plagued us last year, not a lot went right with that team. This year’s team will not resemble last year’s team is all I’m saying. Not sure how good we’ll be, but it will be different.
_______________________________________
correct, it was also trading away the rb who carried the team, no running game equals losses
All the early mocks for 2019 have us picking in the top 10, most of them inside the top 6 and all of them have us taking QB’s
sorry wasnt meant as a relpy. This board gets me every time.
That was the reason for drafting him. Those big, fast, athletic TEs are QB friendly and mismatch nightmares.
Instead of trading DeGrom I think the Mets should bring up Tim Tebow
That’s your best post in about a month 😁

As i said too, the Qb’s are all pretty comparable, at least this early (the top 5 or so), so its pretty much a different QB each time i see a mock, but its always a QB.
http://www.espn.com/blog/pittsburgh-steelers/post/_/id/28126/despite-losing-leg-former-nfl-rb-isaiah-pead-is-back-on-the-run
Pretty good article about Isaiah Pead. Some people would have given up after a tragedy like this, Pead seems to be a really strong character person. Id definitely think about having a guy like that on my coaching staff, so i hope he gets that chance to come back to football and inspare this spoiled brats to be thankful for what the opportunity they have.
My former man crush Jordan Poyer. This is possibly what we’ll see out of Minkah and/or TJ, lined up all over the place.
Yep! That’s exactly what I think we’ll see. Maybe not at first as he gets up to speed with everything, but eventually.
That’s what he did at Alabama.
Opposing QB calling out the Mike before a play, 29, no 47, no 30, no 52 is the Mike 😁
He was on my man crush list that year as well. Fitzpatrick was a CB the year before last, and was arguably better than his buddy Marlon Humphrey at CB that year. Humphrey was the 2nd QB taken that year. I heard plenty of people talking about Fitzpatrick as how they would evaluate him as a CB vs a S in this past draft and they had him down as the best S and possibly the best CB too. You had he and Denzel Ward being pretty even in CB discussions.
The media needs to be held accountable for articles they write that aren’t true. Of course the guy shouldn’t have taken the law into his own hands, but why provoke an unstable person?
Steve, from what I have heard, granted not a lot because I haven’t bothered to focus on it, the guy sued the paper for liable for what the paper wrote about him, lost the case, appealed and lost again so I’m not sure where you are getting the the media should be held accountable from. In this case they were held accountable and were twice ruled not wrong.
The “Fake news” is more often than not real.
It wasn’t real here, they said he was convicted, but had had a plea deal, but that’s not my point. In general the media gets to write whatever they want true or not, and even ruin people, if they want.
This license to kill or ruin isn’t right. Let’s make them more responsible. They’ll say shut, then take it back, but the damage may have already been done.
I find it hard to believe this guy went off, because of what they wrote there has to be more to it.
Seems like they finally blocked me from blogging at work. Curses!
That sucks real bad for all of us, but there’s always your phone.
I used my phone for the comment at 1:49PM, but now it just opened up again on my PC. It’s weird looking, but it’s working at the moment
Or maybe not . . .
LOL — you did a Rock. 🙂
😦
There was no place to log in, so I couldn’t get on except with my phone. It’s too small for me to use, it’s just no fun reading from a phone. If it’s blocked at work, I’ll have to go on at night when i can
Tim Curry
A pennywise for your thoughts?
😀
He basically admitted to doing it, yet next week I expect an appeal. Something of a BS nature like Edelman’s.
I just can’t believe that some of these players think they can get away with using PEDs. Surely, some do get away with it… but the risk of getting caught is too high.
I think with all the supplements these guys take they sometimes don’t know what’s in some of them.
Possibly.
Tim — you could be right, but when it comes to PEDs think they say supplements whatever it was for. Not sure if it holds for appeals, but the CBA prohibits the league from disclosing exactly what was found.
Karma will always prevail with PEDs, you can pay me now or…
Agreed, Tim. Some players are always looking for the newest, most efficacious supplement or treatment to give ’em an edge, and half the time the trainer or nutritionist probably doesn’t really know half of what’s in it.
Of course some of them are just straight up cheating and get caught, lol.
I expect its intentional with the players that have had injuries and/or are getting a little older. I dont necessarily think its to gain an athletic advantage as much as it is to be able to recover more effectively.
Still, they do give the players a list of all banned items, including the ones that contain banned items so i think part of the blame is on them for just not being careful. Seems like a suspension that cost you millions would be a deterrent to picking out a product to use without checking the ban list.
Ooooh, Kong pulling efficacious out of his big hairy butt. lol
yeah i think that qualifies as a 15 dollar word. Jahn needs to be here though for an official ruling.
What bothers me is the league punishes harder for PEDs than they do for illegal substances.
Incidentally college also does that. A player who takes a banned substance they get a 12 month suspension so they miss the rest of the current year an part of the next one. If they get busted for an illegal substance, they dont get punished at all, unless the school itself feels they need to be suspended. The schools generally do levy a 1-2 game suspension for it, but 12 months vs a game or two….that’s fucking ridiculous. I guess the thing to remember in college, if you want a performance enhancer, make it crystal meth or cocaine and not a GNC workout supplement.
One is cheating and one is relaxing, makes sense to me. One affects the game…
The way these players punish their bodies I have no issue with them using supplements that promote healing. PEDs is another thing but I’m not sure all the banned substances are actually PEDs.

—————————————–
Yeah but they are classifying a lot of the supplements used for recovery as a PED along with true PEDs like steroids.
Let them all use it then there is no competitive advantage.
The problem is you’d have to take them to keep up, so your long term health is at risk. These NFL guys that die early, I wonder how many of them actually used PEDs.
Like coke and speed? Maybe some similarities. 😉
LOL @ Mike.
Mike E
Get a better phone…
Ever wonder why you never see a QB get busted for PEDs? The league knows exactly what it’s doing?
Interesting
Mark Sanchez got busted earlier this year. Of course I’m not sure if he really qualifies as a QB.
ER – I’m not a phone guy. I have an S6, and I’m fine with it. I really don’t use my phone like many people do these days. You’ll very rarely see me with face buried in my phone like I see so many people doing.
I actually hate carrying it period, but I guess like everyone else, I feel like I need to always be accessible.
I still have a flip phone…seriously, lol.
That’s pretty wild Kong. I would still have my Samsung SIII id it didn’t die on me. I don;t care about how tech it is at all.
Each time my flip phone dies, I get a new one, and will continue to do so until they stop making them, lol.
People always ask my why i don’t upgrade, and I tell them I’m not paying some monthly freaking car payment for a phone, mine is $35 a month, no stupid contract so I can afford the phone until the next one comes out next year, and anything I need to look up I can do from work or when i get home.
I don’t judge what other people want to do with their money and time, but for me,I don’t understand the fervor over phones. I just don’t feel the need to have a computer in my pocket. I also don’t need to take a million selfies with filters or whatever which I can then upload to the social media of choice. Mine can do the only two things I need a phone to do, text and call, lol.
The PED QB thing is interesting, but in all honestly with the exception of recovering from injury, does a QB really have a reason to justify the risk of using PEDs?
Athletic ability is paramount for every position on the field except QB. A hairsbreadth of difference can be the deciding factor for any other position, but it is rarely or even never the deciding factor at QB. In most cases with QB, athleticism is more of a bonus as opposed to a requirement. Of course for the running QB this doesn’t apply, but combine the fact their are just a handful of starting uber-athletic QBs with that, and maybe that is more the reason they don’t get tagged more often.
ugh *…there are just…*
I was thinking the same thing, but baseball pitchers were using and there velocity increases, so…
When a player is injured and goes on IR, do they still have to take random tests or anything throughout the year?
For example say Landry blows out his knee game one this year, could he theoretically go his own way and take whatever the hell he wants until the next season as long as whatever he did is out of his system by new league year?
Wishful thinking? Some players stay away from the team, so I don’t see how those could be tested, so if that’s what you’re doing stay away.
I figured Mike E. was texting with a chisel and a stone tablet.
lol, or sending them by carrier pigeon
Pigeon? Pterodactyl is more like it. LOL
lol, of course. Chisel, stone tablet, and carrier pterodactyl – beta phase of texting, Mike E style. .
Except Mike thinks the whole flying thing is too new-fangled, so he uses Apteryx.
LOL @ you guys
I don’t have a computer. I have one that stays at work and i’m not allowed to blog there. 🙂

—————
Excellent question… and I’m not certain. I would wager a GUESS, though, that yes… so long as one is being paid by an NFL franchise (that includes IR), they would be subject to random testing… ESPECIALLY if there’s a history of infractions.
I would think that the only way to get away from random testing would be to become a FA. Just a guess, CavKong.
Oh, the still being paid aspect of IR vs FA is an excellent distinction. That makes sense.
and still being under contract
Yeah, Bro. But again, I don’t know this to be FACT. I’m just throwing up a guess here!
I should ask Ricky… HE would know, for sure!
I get it. I think it is a logical guess that makes sense.
I hope Landry doesn’t get hurt this year. I would like to see him have a good season on a losing team while the Dolphins pull a Philly and win the Big One.
I hope he puts up numbers just slightly below what he put up here, and then everything else you said, lol. Yeah, it’s petty, but f*ck that guy. 🙂
Not like it will matter Kong. He Rich now.
I hope Landry watches our shitty QB lead us to the playoffs while his superior Browns QB go 5-11.
yes that’s what I’m talking about
That would be the best kind of payback.
Wishful thinking Kong 😁Some players stay away from the team, so I don’t see how those could be tested, so if that’s what you’re doing stay away.
LOL @ wishful thinking. I don’t really wish injury on any non-Patriot, but screw Landry. 🙂
As for staying away from the team, that’s kinda what I’m asking. Do they have that choice to disappear for the season? Or are they required to present themselves to the league for testing if they get the call while on IR.
I don’t really know anything about the testing process, so maybe my question is off base. I mean if the testing process consists of league reps picking players from the team facility at random a few times through the year then I guess that would answer my question.
My Motorola Photon was a bad ass little bullet proof smart phone. The battery lasted forever, the screen was nearly unbreakable and it was water resistant to 6′. It had 1000 free competing android apps and I could load MP3’s directly from my computer without having to “license” songs through fucking Google or Apple. I threw that thing across the room and it stuck in the drywall like an axe and was fine when I pulled it out.
Sprint told me that they were upgrading to the new 4G network “Spark” and that they wouldn’t support my phone anymore. I got the new galaxy and never got better than 3G in my area anyway!!
LOL @ ‘stuck in the drywall like an axe’
I went into a casino on Thursday to check our wins (ok I went in, because of the free bottle of wine), it was 6, but -160. F that. Everyone knows that 6 wins is too low.
Does that mean 100 gets you 160 if we win 7+ ? or 160 gets you 100?
Mike did the Mets trade half their pitching staff to Philly? Nats 17-7 over Philly😉
No, but I wish they would!
Flights are booked for the Fest. Hotel next!
WTG Bookman! Are you going to stay w/Pigs at the Sheldon?
Still finalizing, it will be the Neptune or Sheldon
Nice! Looking forward to it, but definitely not rushing the summer away, it’s my favorite
Well, it is 96 and humid here, so we are both looking forward to October…lol
And he is from Michigan
By the way Mike, the Brewers will take Gegrom
You can’t take him, you need to sell the farm for him. Prospects like 2B Keston Hiura, P Corbin Burnes, 3B Lucas Erceg, or maybe sun a couple of slightly lower prospects, but it’s going to have to be a major haul, or the Mets won’t don’t do it.
Here’s a funny thing, we released a pro bowl talent in Suh but added one in Quinn albeit at DE. We did the same at center with Pouncey but added a 4 time pro bowl guard in Sitton. Oh right he’ll be 32 soon and couldn’t possibly be good. LOL
Then we get to Landry. RB, TE and a WR rotation will make it seem like he never mattered. What he did was short and midrange, not difficult to replace that and we have. Yup! From a horror season in 2017 at 6-10 to now 3-13 in 2018. LOL
Good points. I think it’s more about team, chemistry/culture, and coaching at this point.
Barring anything close to last year’s injuries/events, I think/hope we will be in the hunt in December.
Pouncey with us last year was horrible, but now that hes gone we lost the pro bowl version of him. Suh was great, except when he was jumping offsides, teaching others to do the same, not staying in his designed lane, or just going thru the motions once the opposing O got that first 1st down on a drive. I don’t even want to get into Landry, everyone knows what I think of him.
Tim – I think the prognosticators basically just skimmed right past us, looked at the losses lazily, and didn’t bother to check that Tannehill is back, our MLB who we lost for the entire season is back, we drafted a fantastic back end secondary player who can play in a lot of different spots and situations, we have the horses for a solid running game that are diversified to be excellent receivers out of the backfield too. We improved the O-line, we have so much better LB depth, our DL depth is much improved, even w/o Suh, and we may have 2 pro bowl DE’s.
you are in full dive gear swimming in an ocean of kool-aide
LOL – I guess I am. It’s supposed to be high 90’s and humid today so it sounds like a good move
Oh yeah, we drafted a freaking TE! TWO of them!
i hope you’re right
Agreed!
i don’t know why the mets do not bring up tebow, nothing to lose and everything to gain, he’ll put butts in the seats, he’ll get a feel for major league pitching and the Mets will find out if he can hang.
They might do it at some point, probably late August or September. By that time, they will be the worst team in baseball, and no one will be coming to the park
I’m not even sure where Tebow would play in the field, not that it matters
left field
Awesome Bookman… what day you getting in?
If any of you folks coming to the Fest haven’t returned Tropic of Cancer — you are in for serious trouble.
test
Put out one with work in it before…..if one of you admins come along please check to see if it is in the “approve” file.
Finally, since the team has announced its plans to use over-sized safety T.J. McDonald as a coverage ‘backer at times this year, that may add an extra dimension to the defense, as well. Since the Dolphins appear to be set at both conventional safety spots, with Reshad Jones and first round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick, that would seem like a good move. One thing is certain: Miami is determined to make it harder for opposing offenses to convert easy first downs and ‘chunk’ plays over the middle with their tight ends and running backs; if teams want to beat this defense by passing, they’re going to have to do it down the field on longer throws.
Phinsiders
When did the team announce those plans?
First I’m hearing of it, that’s why I posted it. If true our 3rd down D looks really strong with the 3 safeties, McCain, Howard, Tank and Mcmillan, to go along with Wake, Quinn, Hayes and any one of the 3 other DTs.
Steve – Most of us here speculated that for a while, but then the coaches made it clear that wasn’t the case during OTA’s. Doesn’t matter, I still think he’ll be used near the LOS sometimes with Reshad, and sometimes with Reshad and Minkah too.
The use of the word LB is the problem. He’ll still be a safety but at times he’ll play in the box in nickel and dime so he seems like a LB. It’s just semantics. I think we’re going to move guys around a lot in sub packages.
ORob, Mets fans are pretty much done with this team as currently constructed. They need to blow it up. They can bring Tebow up but not many fans will really give a shit. He’s batting .256 in AA and that’s because he’s currently on a hot streak. LOL
Steve, where did you read or here that about McDonald?
Doh! hear
He said it was on Phinsider, but certainly matches up to what both you and I thought about TJ becoming a nickel LB. And 3 safety set too. But at a certain point what does it matter what you call it?
Ha! I just said the same thing in a reply to Mike a little up the board.
Same time stamp, but you used the word “semantics”…. so owe you a beer. Payable at any Fest you come too. And you really should man. Better than the MetFest times three.
Some day, man.
Stanger, Phinsider is a fan site so that’s just speculation on their part. I doubt Gase all of a sudden changed his mind about McDonald playing LB.
Stranger,
Lol, we get in around 11:00am Friday
You’ll be there for Friday night tunes with Doggy, which is great
And Tunes with the Doggy is best of all.
Tim, Stanger – Exactly – Call it whatever you want, he’s basically playing like a LB, even if they don’t call it LB
The thing is Jones and Minkah will do some of that too. McDonald gets that label because of his size.
Yeah, I think any of the 3 could fill that role
If you watch Minkah’s Alabama highlights, he did a lot of blitzing through the A gap. He’s real good at it.
Bookman – He’s not a Stranger anymore, you’ve met him. 🙂
LOL — think got more of a stranger once the word select option on cell phones came into play. 🙂
I didn’t even notice that..lol
We might see some 3-2-6 stuff this year with the LBs and a couple of DBs showing blitz but who’s blitzing and who’s dropping?
I also could see us using Harris as a Joker at times.
Anybody remember a few years back I started talking about TE Jordan Leggett of Clemson and was going to keep my eye on him that season because I bonded his dad out of jail? I wasn’t overly impressed with him (good pass catcher) and think I only mocked him once to us out of the 100+ mocks I did on First Pick. LOL Well, I just bonded his dad out again. Last time was for bouncing a check to his divorce lawyer (ouch). This time he wasn’t in jail yet but needed to take care of a warrant for cyber stalking. Feel kind of bad for the dad. He was dating a woman and broke up with her cause he started dating his ex-wife again. The woman took him to domestic court to file an injunction on him (in spite) and the judge told the woman no cause he left you which pissed her off even more. A couple months later the dad sent the woman an email asking her to meet up so he can get the rest of his things. She added a whole bunch of crazy shit to the email, printed it out and gave it to an investigator at the sheriff’s office. The investigator didn’t even contact the dad to get his side of the story he just wrote up a warrant, got the judge to sign it and made it active (10K bond). It wasn’t until then that the investigator contacted the dad and told him he had a warrant and needed to turn himself in within 48 hours or they would come arrest him. The dad tried to explain his side to the investigator and offered up the original email only to be told that there is an active warrant and he will just have to go through the court process.
I hate when these investigators always side with a woman’s complaint without interviewing the other party. It happens here all the time.
I asked him who drafted his son and he said “The New York Jets”. I said, “OH! I can’t do this bond!” He looked so confused and asked why. I said “Cause I’m a Dolphins fan!” We both laughed and he said, “You know what? I hate the Jets also!” (He’s a Buc’s fan) After another good laugh we took care of the bond paperwork. (The ex-wife was the one posting his bond, LOL).
He said Jordan was out most of the year last year due to injury but is back 100%. We will see. He is getting married in Destin, FL during his summer break and his dad said, “and I got to mess with this shit.” LOL
Thought it was a good share.
Man! That’s interesting and weird at the same time! LOL 🙂
I wish best of luck to Jordan and father, what with the situation ya posted!
Once a warrant is issued the detectives/cops do not interpret it they just execute it, if this woman falsely accused this guy with an email and used the legal system as a means for revenge, not only is that real easy to prove that woman should be going to jail.
Is it the law she can go to jail or your opinion?
I asked my old friend Ricky Williams about drug testing and he got back to me…
Sorry for posting his two replies to me out of order. So in short, there’s no random testing for recreational drugs but for camp and OTAs, but it would seem that random PED testing (albeit unanswered) could go on throughout the year.

You’re right, he is on a hot streak, Tim Tebow was named an eastern league all star, he’s playing great with the Binghamtom rumble ponies batting .306 in the month of June, he’ll put butts in the seats, it’s worth a try, it won’t be a problem if he can’t hit major league pitching because neither can anyone on the mets currently
Right, so who cares? Tebow is a 30 year old minor league baseball player who is not very good. If you know anything about age and minor league baseball, that’s not good.
The Mets need to blow it all up and start over. It sucks, thought we would build on the 2015 WS but that did not happen. Tebow will become a minister or whatever his calling is soon enough. Unless he tries the NBA or NHL next. LOL
He’s not a professional level player. Athlete yes, player, no!

_______________________________________________________________
Normally that would be the case however he’s not played that long in the minor leagues. as we all know he was doing other things earlier in his career, pro football/broadcast booth, he last played as a freshman in high school.
that would make your statement incorrect.
Age is a big deal in baseball at the minor league level. Believe what you want.
Orob, re: last night, yes I would think once the truth comes out the state could file charges on the woman for “Making a False Report”. I have seen that a few times. Though, if Mr. Leggett says he does not want to pursue charges the state may or may not pick up the charge/case. I have seen it go both ways. I could tell last night, he just wants to be done with the crazy bitch.
That’s a big mistake on her part, one thing Law enforcement doesn’t like is being used especially for revenge, you can bet they will pursue her if all is true, if she doctored an email for law enforcement that’s not hard to prove.
TWO THINGS:
#1) CAN’T BELIEVE the Mets are now in last place below the lowly minor league team known as the Marlins!! Have these two teams been taking advice from Steve Ross???
——————————
#2) HEY MANITOBA!!!! – – I SAW the Jets drafted Nathan Smith in round 3 of the recent NHL draft. Smith is believed to be the FIRST NHL DRAFT PICK born in Tampa Bay. Smith, a high scoring forward, starred for Mitchell High School in the Lightning high school hockey league right here in Pasco County just a few miles from our home. And, yes, there are several hockey rinks right here in Tampa Bay, thanks in no small part to the Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s my understanding that Smith intends to play NCAA major college hockey at Minnesota State. However, if the Jets offer him enough money, my guess is he’ll move right into their minor league hockey system and delay going to college.
Smith will follow 10 other Florida-born NHL hockey players who have made their marks in the NHL. And, I’m sure, this is JUST THE BEGINNING of a trend that has seen a major increase in hockey in the Sunshine State.
—————————
NOW, out to mow the lawn. Amazingly, the high here yesterday was only 85!! Hard to believe the highs yesterday were near 100 in New York, Philly, Albany, etc. Fortunately our governor says there’s no such thing as global warming, so we’ve got nothing to worry about, right?
Fire up the lawn mower!!
We got some young’uns on D for sure, and all but Howard for the next three years.
Minkah Fitzpatrick, 21 years old, under contract through 2021/22
Jerome Baker, 21, 2021
Charles Harris, 23, 2020/21
Raekwon McMillan, 22, 2020
Cordrea Tankersley, 24, 2020
Davon Godchaux, 23, 2020
Vincent Taylor, 24, 2020
Xavien Howard, 25, 2019
Bobby McCain, 24, 2022
That’s why nobody knows yet what kind of team we will be.
Interesting comment by Howard: ““The NFL is mostly mental, not as much physical as I thought. There are older guys who can’t run like they used to, but they’re always in the right place. You have to study to be in the right place.”
Sounds like someone that’s got it figured out. I think he’s all growed up now😉
Before your D can really be considered elite you need to have at least one DB that can blanket cover or a great center fielder. I hope we have both now.
Not even close to thinking elite yet, but yeah Howard seems to get what he needs to do and seems Minkah already did. Remember that story about him being there in the morning before everyone else at a Bama game checking out film to get ready for what he needed to do come game time?
I am. Why cant this be a great D by season’s end? Only thing missing is putting it all together. The talent is there.
Wake willing to take role with less snaps. No reason why he should be in the game on 1st down, in the 1st and 2nd qtrs with the ball in our opponents territory, with the depth we have.
Agreed. Wake should get most of his snaps in the 2nd half.
First half I’d only play him on 3rd down, unless the game starts to slip away.
Hopefully we’ll be a team who plays with a lead or even most of the game instead of constantly trailing so our pass rushers can pin their ears back.
Steve — I think we can have a top 10 D, but to me elite is something special. Agree that the secondary could be elite as a unit and same with the DEs, but think we are pretty average at DT and LB plus one CB spot. And that is like 5 spots on the D. Would be real happy with that top 10 D though.
I want our D to be more of a playmaking defense – sacks, FF, FR, INTs and scores. Don’t care as much about the rankings if we do that. You can give up some yards, but keep the score manageable.
I think our LBs will be very good, and make our DTs better than they are, because it will be a matchup group, one with moving parts based on opponent and situation. If we’re having matchup issues we can play different guys. Between McMillian, Kiko, Baker, TJ and Anthony we’ve got lots of options
Part of the problem last year with the LBs was there wasn’t much continuity. Timmons was on his last legs and went AWOL for a week. That’s why nobody has signed him this year. We signed Maualuga late when McMillan went down, he’s also still unsigned and a FA this year. We traded for Anthony early in-season so he had to get up to speed. Allen was a rookie learning on the fly. Hull is a backup and STs guy and then he got hurt. Alonso was kind of hung out to dry with no stability around him. That won’t be the case this year so already it’s a better group as long as we don’t get hit with a bunch of injuries.
OD, my thermometer on my deck is reading 105 today and it’s not directly in the sun. It is really hot today.
Pussy 😉
I know Mister Vegas dry heat guy. LOL
Our main LBs are Alonso (legit but not spectacular) plus two Ohio state guys who have never played an NFL game and a retread we got for a 5th. Maybe they surprise….. but you get the idea.
Anthony isn’t really a retread, we traded for him. He’s still on his first NFL contract. Everyone wanted us to draft LBs so when we do now they have no experience. LOL
Don’t count out Chase Allen, he played well for a rookie UDFA and he should be even better in his 2nd season. Yes we do have a lot of young and UDFA LBs competing this year but that’s better than vets who can’t play anymore.
Stanger, that said I’m not sure Anthony is an every down LB. He might be more of a role player where we can utilize his strengths which is size and speed. I think he’s better attacking than reacting.
Anthony was a first round pick and got traded for a 5th on his rook contract. Maybe retread is the wrong word, but to me at least hasn’t been gangbusters since draft day.
And am real happy with us drafting LB in the last two draft cause was a real need and both seem promising. But that doesn’t change that they haven’t played an NFL game yet. So how am I supposed to say we have a better than average LB corp?
Stanger, you don’t have to say better than average LB corp. No doubt there isn’t much of a body of work to go by. My point was that at least all the LBs we have are younger and faster than in previous seasons and they’re all in the building from the get go rather than the patchwork we’ve had to do in the past. Hopefully another UDFA surprises.
The vet LB Terence Garvin we signed is most likely a STs guy kind of in the mold of Spencer Paysinger. Unless he’s one of those late bloomers who steps up his game and has one of those out of nowhere seasons.
I think Baker could find a nice role for us being that he can cover a lot of ground. McMillan solidifying the MIKE is key to this group. That will allow Alonso to attack more which is his strength.
I think Anthony is the Tremaine Edmunds we were all clamoring over in the draft..
A longgg 6-3, 245 that runs a 4.5
Former 1St rounder of youth still in his “”rookie deal””
Had a great rookie season for Saint in o15,
(one we wouldn’t have likely realized via an Edmunds of o18)
Saints D got changed up in o16, throwing a wrench in Anthony’s gears
o17 comes to Miami, takes a minute to get comfortable,
starts regaining confidence, suddenly has more experience with what Miami wants from him than what Saints wanted in year two, starts making some plays towards o17’s end
Goes into o18 off-season as the likely, and confident starter he was as a rookie,
(with more knowledge of what team wants from him than ever before in his career)
I think we’re like serious strong with one through 4,
and 5 – 7 ain’t no slouches either!!!
McMillan
Kiko
Anthony
Baker
Hull
Chase
Poling (rookie but gotta love this kid)!!!
( Fitz/TJ )
ALL VIABLY STRONG when/if called upon!!!
Collins, McCray, Garvin
I LOVE OUR LB TROOPS,
GOFINS!!!
Let the competition begin. Lots of spots at LB up for grabs. May the best men win.
We probably keep 6 and 7 at the most. There are going to be a lot snaps with just two LBs on the field so unless a lot of these guys are good on STs I’d say 6 is most likely.
So recreational drugs are randomly tested for in a 3 month window once OTAs start, and players on IR you are still subject to testing.
Great job getting those answers from Ricky, M13! It’s pretty cool he responds to you.
Oh shit I better get a clean sample
Lol, it’s kind of amazing to me these guys only have to be clean (pot) for 3 months and still get popped. A little restraint for hundreds of thousands to millions of $.
Exactly
Thanks, Bro. Ricky and I have been in contact for close to a decade now and I’m happy to consider him a friend. He’s a good dude who just had a bad stretch in his life… and in the SPOTLIGHT, at that.
RUN, RICKY RUN!!!
Awesome that you and Ricky have been in contact for so long. Never had a problem with Ricky the person…. seemed like the nicest guy you ever would want to meet. Had some problems with him not knowing what the price of being in the NFL was though. And that is not against pot…. my wife tells me drink another diet coke and I divorce you and no more diet coke for me.
Lol Mike, ESPN dissen on your Mets. One hitters bat went flying to the outfield, the 2nd baseman did a Steve Sax and missed 1st base by 15 feet to the outfield side.
The Mets are a mess. There is a lot to diss about. Their season is worse than the Dolphins last year and it’s not close to being over.
https://twitter.com/AroundTheNFL/status/1013544405435703297
It’s time for him to play the Fred Dean, Kevin Greene, Trace Armstrong role. Limited snaps throughout the game, then unleash him in the 4th quarter hopefully with a lead. 🙂
M, I’ll take a Samuel Adams😁
*passing you a Sammy Adams*
I didn’t see that coming.
The Legion of Boom is over.
Not football but big NBA news….. “LeBron James agrees to four-year, $154 million deal with Lakers.” As a Celts rooter, glad he went to the West. Gonna be a dog fight over there.
Talk about a whore who goes where they can to fulfill their ego. $154M to play with a ball. How exactly is the rest of the world laughing at The USA? LOL
Soccer stars get paid a bunch too. So not just us fixated on what happens with round things that bounce. Sounds like next dream team for Lebron though. And given the 4 years his last.
Stanger, I mean really? Is Indonesia laughing at us? How about the Congo, does France have it all figured out? LOL
It’s all about the Russians. They were once the USSR under a global domination dictatorship realm. A certain USA president snuffed that out. But let’s focus on bleeding heart subjects that happen everyday, but ignore the ones that have no political purpose. You’re fuckin evil!
Not you, Stanger, in general. All of us.
YOUNG STANGER: Re your wife telling you to ditch the diet coke OR ELSE; Our oldest daughter, the research scientist, told me and Mrs. OD NOT EVER to drink those “fake sugar” diet drinks based on her reading of several scientific journals, many published in Europe over 10 years ago. –She said, “I don’t recommend the REAL SUGAR Colas, either but they are less damaging than their fake sugar brethren.” So, beginning about 8-9 years ago, we significantly increased our water intake and eliminated all colas, period.
I KNOW you listen very carefully to what your wife says. DO SO, AGAIN, my friend, especially on this one! SHE’s DEAD RIGHT!!!!!!
OUT for tonight.
I 2nd, 3rd, 4th…what OD said.

Age is a big deal in baseball at the minor league level. Believe what you want.
___________________________________________
it certainly is due to the fact that most of these guys have been playing since their teens and at the age of 30 if they haven’t made the majors yet it’s unlikely they will. this is not the case with Tebow due to the fact he hasn’t been playing that long so his age isn’t a factor as of yet.

i thought you said he was going to philly??
I’m just glad it’s not Houston!
I did and you said Boston. And am glad we were both wrong.
the new helmet rule….. no more leading with the helmet. 15 yard penalty, most offensive players lead with their helmet everytime they get the ball.
it is going to be interesting to see how refs interpret it,
They showed the video of hits that would be subject to a penalty, just hope they replay it to make sure, and stick to what they showed. It’s a really hard thing to be sure of on the field.
What I hate about this rule is it gives teams like the cheats another rule to get a favorable call on.
ESPN has an article For the Dolphins to contend for the playoffs, here’s 5 guys that can make that happen: RT, Drake, Tunsil, Quinn, and McMillan.
They said Drake has bulked up, ready to take on the load of a #1 RB.
I don’t see anything too outrageous that any of these 5 guys need to do to make that happen. RT has been reported as good to go and back to his old self. Drake needs to continue doing what he did at the end of last year. Tunsil, just needs to be solid, and with the help of Sitton not being a hack it shouldn’t be too hard. If Quinn repeats last years 8.5 sacks it will be more than we’ve gotten in a while at RDE. All signs say McMillan is the real deal, and has been just as impressive this year as last.
Bottom line is we don’t need a super year from any of these guys to make the playoffs. I mean we may get that, because the team plays better, but we just need these guys to do their job, not go above and beyond.
Yeah the 38.5 mil per that Lebron is getting is still half of what Messi makes.
Sorry meant as a reply to Stanger’s comment.
as for Lebron going to the Lakers, even if they get Leonard i doubt they can compete with the Rockets or Golden State, So this move may have been about something else, like family and being on the big screen/actor???
the East just got a whole lot easier.
It his last contract. So could be as simple as he chose where he wants to live once he is retired. Could have seen him doing that in Miami, but highly doubt he’ll be spending his post-ball days in Cleveland even though he is from there.
I heard last night he already had 2 houses in LA so yes you are correct on the Star power as well as retirement locale
We’ll see, but the Warriors looked real vulnerable this year. Could’ve easily lost to Rockets, if CP3 doesn’t get hurt. They didn’t really have an answer to LBJ. Both Randall and Ingram, of they’re still on the team can get it done against GSW.
Rob – Tebow doesn’t really have much upside in baseball. He basically is what he is right now, whether he played baseball all his life or not. If it wasn’t for the Tebow “brand” no one would ever talk about him. He’s still at AA level, and after 648 AB’s, he’s batting .236, with 13 HR’s, which for a man 6’3″ 245 kinda sucks, it’s a HR every 50 AB’s. He’s not a particularly good fielder either, so there’s no realistic plan to bring him up to the major leagues. If they do, the reason will solely be the Tebow name, and not Tebow the player.
Hardcore Mets fans won’t care if Tebow comes up to the bigs but there may be a few thousand people who will go to just see him play. But it would be more of a novelty thing, not anything meaningful for the team.
Good assessment, but I don’t think he’s peaked yet, and still has a chance to. I agree it isn’t likely though.
Thats career number Mikey, baseball is about what are you doing for me now and right now he is .257 5hr (1pers 40 AB’s) 12 doubles and 30 RBI’s.
Coaches are talking well of him its not just fans. I dont really have a dog in this fight, i like the guy, but i dont care about that team like you guys do, and i dont really care much about his baseball career for that matter. He was my college QB and i wouldn’t mind seeing him playing for Spurrier in this new start up league.
I still think he should be given credit for improvement, and as the competition has gotten harder, he has also played better. IMO if you take the fan love and fan hate out of the equation, he is like a lot of minor leaguers who are hacking out a life for themselves in the minors.
For what its worth, the coaches and scouts are saying right now he still looks like a minor league player but he is making more progress than they are use to seeing of a guy who entered the minors at the level he did to where he is now.
I mean yeah you are right there are going to be people who become fans because they are Tebow fans and not hardcore Met fans, but you cant hold that against the guy, and you cant look down on what he has accomplished so far. The spectacle of Tebow isn’t his fault, this shit was pretty much built by ESPN.
Oh and i just checked and on your AA team in Binghamton, he is your 2nd best overall batter. Only one player has better power numbers to go along with a better batting average and he is the best on your team in driving in runs, better than 8 RBI’s over the next closest guy.
Yikes, the cupboard is bare on the farm, and triple A here in LV sucks donkey balls.
Tim
It would basically be the same thing if Tebow was signed by an NFL team. His name would have people curious, but his value to the team itself is very little.
I disagree, but it would take a full commitment to his style of football to do it and that’s not what coaches want to do. You box a coach in with game plan if you have to stick to a more limited set of plays and while I think he could be successful, simple systems usually get figured out and shut down eventually and then there is also his health taking the kind of punishment it would to play that system in the NFL.
I think at this point the best bet for him in the NFL would be at TE of a HB/TE kind of hybrid. He doesnt care to make that transition, which i think is his prerogative, but the NFL isnt really made for his and a bunch of other College QB’s style of play. Its sad because he was an amazing player in college, his accuracy was great, his production was unbelievable, but thats why you can go from a heisman to a unemployed NFL player, because sometimes their game just doesnt transition to the NFL. Ask Vince Young, ask Johnny Manziel, ask RG3, ask Matt Leinart, ask Troy Smith, Tim Couch, Danny Wuerffel, Jason White, Ty Detmer, Geno Toretta, Andre Ware, or Pat White……
What do you disagree with? You think Tebow would be a big deal at TE? Can he even catch the ball, run a route? He completed less than 50% of his passes, so I don’t care if you commit to his style, he’s not an NFL QB, period.
KV – I think Anthony has shot to be a good NFL player, especially if he really digs in and watches films, really listens to his coaches and absorbs what they tell him. His athleticism and size are definitely on par w/Tremaine Edmunds, except Anthony is 26, and Tremaine Edmunds just turned 20, so he has a lot more time to learn, and I think ultimately, Edmunds will be a better player. This year, if we didn’t get a shot at Mayfield, I wanted Edmunds, son of Ferrell, our own blood. The thing is, if Anthony willing to dig in and learn, or will he continue to just rely on his athletic talent?
D – The fact that Tebow might be our best AA player speaks more to how shitty the Mets farm system is currently rather than Tebow’s talent. That’s why I’m 100% in favor of trading deGrom and Familia, and really anyone else that brings back young talent. I’m sure Cabrera will be dealt, especially if he keeps hitting. They need to restock the minor leagues and major league club with young talent very soon.
Exactly! Not only is the Mets big club bad, they have very little in their farm system. They are years away from competing again.
Yeah, unfortunately, that’s true, but if we do bring back a bunch of young talent, I’ll be more than happy to watch the team grow. I’d much rather watch a bunch of young promising kids than see Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, Asdrubal Cabrera, Jose Reyes and any of the older veterans past their prime.
Even if we’re a sub .500 club, I’m cool with that. If Cespedes was here all season, I’m sure we’d be a little above .500, or maybe even better, but again, I’d rather see young promising talent. If Cespedes! was tradeable, I’d trade him too, but the fucking guy may never play again! WTF, a strained quad has kept him out since may 13th, it’s going to be 2 months!
Cespedes’ legs got too big. They weren’t that big when he first came here. He’s had issues with his legs ever since.
I in no way think Tebow is ready to be brought up, and i do agree if they did so right now it would be a publicity stunt, but i do think he will eventually make the majors and i think if not rushed up for that publicity stunt, he could be a productive player. He is going to do everything he has to to progress as a player, and he has the athletic ability to get there, so i dont see any reason he might not make the team someday.
D – The biggest reason, and I’m just speaking in regards to how baseball usually works, is that by the time Tebow is ready, if the Mets have done what they need to and traded their assets for young talent, you’re not going to have Tebow as a 33YO rookie blocking a a younger, faster player who is ready for the big leagues who may be 22-25. That’s the biggest challenge for Tebow is his age will end up biting him in the ass, because they won’t want to block the progress of younger player.
That’s what I was saying to ORob.
I agree with that, but at the same time, if he’s getting it done his age won’t matter. Look at Kemp in L.A., no one cares that hes long in the tooth, now or before the season started.
The loyalty to Tim Tebow is so far over the top ridiculous I cannot understand it. He was NEVER good enough play in the NFL. I don’t care what “system” you try to put him in. The craziest thing is some of the same people that disparage Tannehill will give Tebow a pass for being WAY FUCKING WORSE than he ever was.
That’s a funny statement….hasn’t Tebow won a playoff game?… what has Tannehill done???
All by himself. Here we go again. Hold onto that one game as tightly as you can. LOL
He’s been living off of his college body of work for far too long, so yeah I agree. He is to college what Al Bundy is to high school😉
OMG, you released the Crackin Rock.

Tim Tebow in football has won every where he was given a chance to play, The thing about Tebow was he had another dimension to his game that all QBs don’t have and that is a power running game, Teams can’t account for that and that’s why he lead Denver to the playoffs and beat pittsburgh, he also beat Miami in Miami, he lead a Denver team that was suppose to be one of the worst teams in football to the playoffs.

OMG! ROFLMAO! wait, wait, wait can’t stop laughing. wooooooo ……….Nope, still laughing. It didn’t take much for you to lose ALL credibility but I think you have now.
Quit being so hard on yourself and keep trying….. you’ll get it right one day…..I hope!
ORob, you replied to me comparing Tebow with Tannehill. One has nothing to do with the other. I’m not Rock, so what he said had nothing to do with what we were discussing. But I’m not surprised you went there.
This shouldn’t be that confusing to you, i replied to rock as he was comparing tebow to tannehill, and you replied to me about the subject.
then you asked why we have to compare the two????
maybe you should ask Rock, it was his comparison that lead to this discussion.
I hope this explains it ….whew!!!!
Because saying that Tebow won a playoff game as in it was all about him is a silly statement. The same with “he” beat Miami. I could easily argue Miami blew a 15-0 4th qtr lead because we weren’t a good team. Prater’s 52 yard FG is what actually beat us.
But I’m not going to continue this discussion. Just wanted to reply to this post and why I said what I said.

Why is Tebow not in the NFL?
___________________________________
he doesn’t throw the football well enough to please the critics, The fact remains he’s won every where he was given a chance,
when he beat Miami in Miami how did he do that?,
…….he rumbled in the end-zone that’s how.
how did he take a Denver team that was not suppose to win 3 games to the playoffs and on to the divisional round?
….he had another dimension to his game, he could pull the ball back and take off up the middle and bang heads with the DL and LBers and come out on top. he didn’t have to rely soley on passing.
the fact remains he’s a winner, and this can not be disputed.
Okay enjoy your Tebow praise as you bash the Dolphins. I have no interest in this old and tired subject.
I’m not bashing Miami, i’m speaking of facts that happened. I was rooting for Miami to win that day.,
It was like 7 years ago, why are you so into rehashing it?
Tebow had a great year that year as the starter for Denver, much better than Tannehill’s ever done.
i’m comparing Tim Tebows success compared to Tannehills as Rock brought up, i’m not re-hashing anything
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/bobby-bonilla-day-annual-reminder-of-how-much-mets-are-paying-him/ar-AAzqYWH
I had no idea about this. This is insane. What the hell was wrong with the Mets to make this kind of a deal?
Super dumb! I think it had to do with investments and Madoff. That is why Mets fans want the Wilpons to sell.
exactly, Madoff convinced them
They will pay out nearly 30 million instead of the original 5.9. Even if you count for inflation, it’s still something like 20 million more. Wow. lol
I’m not sure how the math worked out with the delay in starting the payments, but Bonilla’s agent sure did him a solid as far as retirement planning. When he set this up his client was flush with money.
I’d hire that guy, lol.
Tebow overachieved one season in the NFL and led his team to a playoff win which no one can take away from him. Good for him.
He’s not good enough to be an NFL QB or good enough for any other position for that matter. There isn’t a single team that has or would put him on their roster.
Both of those things are true. What more is there to say?
Prater was really their MVP, the guy was winning games with 50+ yard FGs it seemed every week. LOL
Well, it’s like you said. It took the team and Tebow did his share. In the playoff win, Tebow hit two big passes that were instrumental in winning. But those were the exception. You wouldn’t get that from him in most games. When you’re QB is missing standard throws by 5-10 feet, it’s clearly not sustainable, lol.
Yes no doubt, but wasn’t Prater hitting big game winners a lot that season? SNL even did a sketch on it. LOL
Lol, I honestly don’t remember or care. I’ll take your word for it. Tebow was the QB and deserves credit for his part too. This whole discussion is goofy in the extreme. 🙂
It must be early July. We’re talking about a minor league baseball player and what he did in his brief NFL stint like 50 years ago, lmao.
he doesn’t throw the football well enough to please the critics,
You mean his wide receivers, tight ends and running backs? Because they is who he does not throw the ball well enough to please! You have no football credibility left. You squandered it all with silly over the top BS.
Kong, Tebow usually comes up every once in awhile for some reason. This time it’s baseball with the Mets minor league team and how bad the Mets are. Once he’s done with baseball, I expect maybe he’ll give it a go in basketball or hockey, or maybe even curling. Or how about shirling? LOL
LMAO at Shirling!!!
lmao
New snake!!! LOL
My mid-year resolution is to not respond to silly over the top comments on here any more. Just let them go. Take a deep breath laugh quietly to myself and move on.

Hey we all want to see our beloved Dolphins play an exciting season and have success. Maybe even become a perennial playoff team for a few years and a chance at a SB title. We all know how to prepare for the worst, we have lots of experience. Maybe we will soon enter an era when we don’t know how to handle too much success. I’m up for that challenge. Who’s with me?!! 🙂
LOL Tim, that was funny!
I love Kids in the Hall. They were the Canadian modern day version of Monty Python.
Yeah, they were definitely funny, for some reason, this skit always sticks with me, I think it was great.

Classic! That skit had a few versions because it was so good.
Rob – With that logic, Kaepernick is a great QB as well, better than Tebow in fact, because he won 4 playoff games and took his team to the SB.
Don’t forget that 49ers defense and running game with Frank Gore. 😉
No Tim, it was only Kaepernick, it was his passing and his running that took them to the SB. Who’s Frank Gore anyway?
The thing that I get a kick out of when people give QBs all the credit or all the blame is as if the receivers running good routes, catching the ball and making big plays, or not doing that, is just a side bar. As if they’re not a part of it.
Football is a lot of moving parts and a lot of situations that needs good execution from all phases or it doesn’t work. We all know good or great QB play can help keep you in games, but we watched Marino and Co. put up 30, 40 and 50 points only to lose because the other areas sucked.
I want a good overall team, not relying on just the QB or one or two other players.
