She’s Back!
This year model/actress Cara Delevingne will grace our blog as the Bye Week Bi-Babe. In a close race Cara proved she had what it takes to be an honored recipient of this blogs coveted award ie; plenty of quotes and hot pics.
“Why should I have to explain who I am to you?”
“You should know that. If you have a question, ask me and I’ll tell you what you want to know. People should be allowed to just be who they are and others need to stop putting others in a box.”
Thank you Cara, you are lovely…
All right folks we’re 10 games in and alive for the playoffs while also being measured by the undertaker. Tank it or Kill it. If we tank it we get in the top 10 of the draft most likely, if we kill it we potentially win our division and host a playoff game. those are two options as you have already realized there is a third – the absurd third – we go 3-3 and maintain the status quo as usual.
I’m happy to watch it play out. This bye week has come at a great time to give us a chance to get healthy and identify areas that can be improved as we prepare for the season’s final six regular season games. There are a lot of things about this team that I like our young defense, our runningbacks, our young Tight End group,
our speedy receiving corp and that they figured that they need to keep Minkah on the field. The Defense suffered injuries on the line and it has affected the D as a whole, but its a very young Defense that flies to the ball. All I can do is wonder how they’d play with a lead or at least knowing our team is capable of scoring points. We have Frank Gore and Kenyon Drake that’s why I like our backs even though I do like Ballage as well. At TE we have the rookies along with Nicklaus O’Leary and AJ Derby I think its a good young group. I like the speed guys in our receiving group despite the injuries piling up, they get open and they block. Minkah is huge for us going forward I think its easy to see.
We struggle, oh boy do we struggle, to score points. If this team can find the magic elixir during this bye week we could be dangerous. If being the operative word there, like it always is. Of late, and I mean the last several years, the passing game has sucked, I blame almost everything that troubles the Dolphins on poor passing. I know, injuries and yes there are many, play calling, sacks and penalties despite a significant reduction this year and the Offensive line. All of those are mitigated by better passing such as not missing wide open receivers who have beaten everyone, uncatchable balls, wrong side of the receiver balls, missed reads for a wide open play. And I’m talking about the balls that have been thrown I realize especially this week our line can make for a rough pocket. I look around the league and it seems most teams run a similar offense and face the same pressure and good coverage that we do, the major difference that glares to me is good passing.
We need Touchdowns!
Best of luck to the Dolphins in the last 6 games of the 2018 season, I’ll be watching every one.
I’m a couple of days late but I want to thank this nation’s veterans for your service, with a special thanks to the guys in our group that have served. Never Forget.
Also a Happy Birthday to
The United States Marine Corps
Here are some pictures of our very own 23 year Marine Vet and great guy Pheloniusphish. Thank you for your service.

First!
Thanks for the write and the babe Son. Good job.
Great pics from Phelon. Thank you again for serving.
Kill it or tank it!
Nice write, Son. It would be nice to see some progress down the stretch and the continued development of young players.
Thanks to Phish for his service and to all the vets who served and those who continue to serve.
Phish, a couple of military questions for you.
Those scarfs I see all the soldiers wearing around their necks like you have in the pic, is that to cover your face in the Middle East due to the desert?
I’m not sure how much action you saw, but when you serve for as long as you did, how do you feel to have survived and not having been maimed when so many others were maimed or killed? Is there a guilt, why not me or is it a feeling I’m one of the lucky ones?
I ask this because I’ll see photos of vets who are in their 90’s who served in both WWII and Korea and I think to myself, that’s amazing to me when so many didn’t last a week or a month.
Nice write up Sonny! Thanks man! Very cool pics of the Phelon. Thank you sir once again for your service, and continued service
David Amerson Nov 13 10:23pm ET
Free-agent CB David Amerson (Chiefs) is expected to sign an undisclosed contract with the Arizona Cardinals soon, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
When i thought of M13 reading this, the song “Lightning Crashes” by Live played in my head!
Kuniggut – The scarf is called a shamagh. It’s a multi-purpose piece of gear. Sunshade, dust filter, etc. often worn by scholars and elders.
I was awarded combat action ribbons for the Gulf War (‘90-‘91) and Somalia (‘93) and a combat support medal for Bosnia-Herzegovina (‘96). I was in Pristina, Kosovo in 2000, but as a civilian.The picture wearing the shamagh was Mogadishu 2014. The other two pics are various parts of Somalia in ‘93.
As to how I feel about surviving, I’m pretty damn happy about it! Seriously, it’s not something that I have ever given a lot of thought about. Everybody is set up differently psychologically. Guilt is not something that has ever been an issue for me. War is harsh and it’s luck of the draw. You see things that you never wanted to see and sometimes you lose people that you don’t want to lose. But that’s what we signed up for. You don’t join the Marines for the benefits or the job training or the travel. You join the Marines to be a warrior, to train to fight and to use that training.
My grandfather who was an island hopper int he south pacific for WW2 said similar thing. It bothered him enough that later in life he had times when his dreams haunted him. I think it humbled him a good bit, made him a quiet and reserved dude, but in the moment he had to isolate it out so he could continue to do his duty and he also needed his wits to not be counted among a lot of friends he had lost. He also said there was a detachment he had as far as friends in the military vs friends in civilian life. I think it affected him because he didnt spend a lot of time socially in life and from what i understand, that wasnt his nature before the war. I think the truth of it, how outwardly it affects a man, and how inwardly it affects the same man is different and probably immeasurable.
I never got a sense of regret from the stories he told me, there was some pride in it. I think he did ultimately wish he hadnt had to exprience some of the things he did and he didnt want to do some of the things he did, but his duty overrode those emotions and helped him come to grips with it. A lot of military, the ones truly dedicated to the fact that they serve this country, it kind of a matter of taking one for the team, they experience it so we didnt have to, and i think pride comes with that feeling too.
Truly, the ones dedicated to the military and what it stands for, shoudl be considered heros and they should be allowed to feel pride for what they have done, not shame.
And never used as political pawns.
Indeed.
Hoorah! Marine Corps! Semper Fi, do or die, hold them high at 8th and I.
We’re not heroes one and all. I suspect that most vets get as tired of hearing that word as I do. It has become overused (kind of like the word racist, but for different reasons). Most of us are just guys (and girls) doing what we signed up for. Heroism is a higher standard, and should be, than just doing your job. Even getting shot up, wounded or killed doesn’t make a hero.
I’m reading the thing and going “MIke is a lot more positive about the team….. maybe searching for the babe of the week pictures put him a good mood.” And maybe I missed who wrote it cause eyes went straight to the first pic. 🙂
Real good write by Son — I too like a lot of things about this team as frustrating as this season has been at times. So just can’t get into the blow up stuff and don’t see all that much point in the tank it either. Might be different if we didn’t have 5 Ws already.
Phelon those are some great pics. I look at old sports pics like it was battle….. seeing yours makes me realize how silly am with that kind of thought. Thank you for your service.
It was my pleasure to serve. Besides what else could I have done that would have allowed me to not grow up?
I dunno whats the rest of this crews’s professions lol.You can add software developer or management in from my side.

Ive considered Washington to go QB, but they would definitely have to trade up.
I cant see the Giants not taking a QB.
I cant see Denver not taking a QB.
I agree with TB taking one if they just bite the bullet and move on from Jameis, which im not fully convinced they will even after the benching. Depends a lot on if they also reboot at coach.
Agree with the Raiders needing a QB, but they may not be able to move Carr. I dont think that keeps them from taking a QB, but i would expect them to want to move him if at all possible andthey would be a team i think would start their QB right off.
I agree with us, and i like the person they have us selecting. I would rather have Lock (Hebert isnt happening) but Jones may wind up the best pro, and h might be the best ready to go prospect out of the QB group.
I dunno if i see Grier going in the first, and as i said im not sure i see Washington taking a QB in the first. I think Grier is a 1st round potential in a 3rd round definable player.
Id love to double up with Jones and Grier to go with Falk who was my dark horse guy from last years group. Id keep all three of them as well unless one of them just looked like an absolute waste of a spot and if we came to a point to where one guy was a clear winner and one of the other two is a clear next man up, then i say we continue to develop all three and trade one down the road, or maybe even both.
I meant to “as i have said ive considered Washington to go QB”, but trade up makes it less likely. I lean towards them not selecting a guy.
Yah, I don’t think Washington takes a QB next year. Maybe the year after.
They could but my bet would be that it would be in a middle round, not first.

Minkah has played all but one of the D snaps in the last two games. Have to believe that is the new normal.
So no one else here thinks of the fictional town of Duloc when they say Drew Lock? It’s just me? WTF is wrong with y’all?
Usually left the room when the boy was watching Shrek! 😉
Uh Mikey I say Lock, Drew not Drew Lock. I take the time to type it one way and you just read it however you want. Just becat others do that to your articles doesn’t men you can take it out on my posts
Never had to
Cara achieved this high honor and none of you can be bothered to even recognize her accomplishment.
Instead that big lummox Marine gets his ass kissed all day, lol.
Her eyebrows bother me
LMAO @ D
D I’m with ya.. she is a strange looking woman..
• The Dolphins are 32nd in the NFL in red zone offense (there are 32 teams). And they are 32nd (last) in the NFL in rushing defense. It’s pretty remarkable, actually, that they are 5-5.
BURN IT DOWN!
BURN IT ALL DOWN!
ADAM GASE MUST GO!
JOHN DENNEY MUST GO! 😉
I get that he is a long standing connection to mediocrity….however, he may be the only player on the team that could be considered “elite” at his position…LOL
The Denney thing is just a gag I’ve been running with. Like you say, because he has been here through 15 years of mediocrity.
I know, I was just trying to be ironic/funny by pointing out that he may be “elite”

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 18: Lock…….
I don’t know the players, but I like the draft because of the positions selected and just basing it on the grade the generator gave you you killed it.
Hopefully the new GM can do as well.
(note: I realize that my desire to blow it up will MOST LIKELY not happen. Gase will probably get next year as well, but I feel like I have seen enough from him and want him gone.)
Son, I didn’t comment on the Babe because, although she is 26 she looks 12 and it makes me feel creepy being attracted to her. (I AM attracted to her, it just makes me feel creepy, LOL)
I kept getting mad at my self while watching Valerian because of it.
Plus you had to post a pic of her with a big herpes blister on her lip?
LOL! Just noticed that…hilarious when you consider it is the picture right above where he has the caption: Thank you Cara, you are lovely”
She’d be ok, if she came with a free penicillin shot!
Looks like she’s strung out to me!
Michelle on the other hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She reminds me of Gwen, the two face girlfriend on Seinfeld, who looks good sometimes, and ugly other times.
Been real disappointed in some models when saw a model thought was stunning interviewed on TV. Think for a lot of them it is just a couple stunning angles for that perfect shot.
Yeah, I’d need to bag and tag her because those eyebrows are just too damn freaky. Buy a pair of tweezers….or a weed whacker!
LMAO @ all the bi-bye week girl comments!
She’s got perty eyes hooded by a couple of caterpillars
In about an hour, we’ll find out of W/L matter more than being simply the best damn pitcher in baseball . . .

Dolphins sign WR Brice Butler, a 6-year vet most recently with the Cowboys. He’s 6-3, 220. Best season was last year: 15 rec., 317 yds, 3 TDs.
4
1:33 PM – Nov 14, 2018
he s a decent return guy for sure..
7th round pick out of SDS, interesting they didnt just bring up Owusu since he compares pretty similarly to Butler.
doggy you guys still safe ?>
Yup.. Fires are north of us. Thanks for asking.
OK I shouldn’t have said anything.
Lol
After 10 games each.
Amendola — 47 catches for 456 yards and 1 TD.
Landry — 57 catches for 600 yards and 1 TD.
Where’s David been?
Ha!
Remember we got Wilson too for the price of a Landry.
With change to spare (if you want to call a couple million that).
Wow Amendola has been sneakily getting yards, it doesn’t feel like he has gotten that much
The last couple of games it seems like he’s been getting catches a little deeper than he had been.
Marino is doing Isotoner commercials again. They’re a good fit kinda like a hand in a glove…
Rock, she has that pixie cut now. I drew the line at those pics but you can see why perhaps the girls would be interested in her, lol. It is after all the bye week.
I am not a lummox. I am a lean, mean, fighting machine.
And I like Cara and her eyebrows and her bi-ness.
I had to do it, they left me no choice. You are a lean, mean, fighting machine we have the pictures to prove it.
I dig her too, didn’t even really notice til these assholes pointed it out.
Nice write Son. I would have posted earlier but I’ve been evaluating my eyebrows.

Thanks for the info., Phish. Much respect for you and others who served and still do.
Happy Anniversary Don Shula, on this day 25 years ago he passed Geoge Halas to be the most winning =est coach in the NFL, can belechick catch him? he has 257 wins to Shulas 347,
90 games behind.
Happy Anniversary Coach.
90 wins not games. 9 more years of 10 wins and he’s 66, Brady is close behind him too.
Belichick would have to coach at least another 7-8 years at 12+ wins per season. But until that consistency stops with that friggin team and they go away, I can’t say it’s not possible. However, I do not think he will tie or break it. Nobody has coached in more big games and Super Bowls then him though.
The bye week comes at the perfect time. I’ve got alot to do.
I think we all need a break. 😉
We’re #31, for those who don’t want to click on the link.
Did those teams lose 2 starters after 4 weeks and have to use 10 different guys as starters over 10 games?
Oh right and it’s always good with a backup QB. Everyone has always had a high regard for Osweiler. LOL
The thing is Osweiler is better in the short and medium range passing game than Matt Moore ever was. Moore’s best asset was he threw a nice rainbow deep ball. Other than that he wasn’t a good rhythm passer. Good competitor and gave it his all like Osweiler but neither are very talented.
You do realize in Gase’s 2.625 seasons he’s started 5 QBs, right?
Tannehill, Moore, Cutler, Fales and Osweiler. Great situation for a HC wouldn’t you say? Everyone says QB is the key and Gase can’t roll with his guy for any period of time. I’m sure all of the expert fans would do better – rolling eyes…
Look at the situation and stop being so smug as fans. So many of you are ignoring all of this and asking for awesomeness.
If the roster we had today was the one we started the season with, what would be your expectations? Be honest. I’ll wait for the “yeah but” stuff because it never ends. It’s play-calling! Right, I know it has nothing to do with talent. Just call these plats and magic happens. Stop!
That’s why everyone gets nuts over FA and the draft. Because it doesn’t matter. Call these plays and we win with anyone. LOL

I’ll be totally honest. I don’t tweeze my eyebrows. I’ve tried it a few times but….the PAIN!!! Seriously, I don’t need that.
I cannot rationalize what Lieser is saying here: NEXT MAN UP.
I phrased that awkwardly. NO EXCUSES. If the NEXT MAN UP can’t get it done, the backups are garbage.
Pretty sure at the next post-game presser when Leiser raises his hand will be the first guy to be called on.
—————-
“Table the hot seat conversation until he gets a fair shot. The three-year clock should reset when this season’s drudgery finally ends. In fact, not only give Gase a pass, give him credit. It’d be wiser to extend his contract than to terminate it.”
“There’s a sense of direction with him that other coaches lacked, and this organization — one that perpetually finds itself changing course with each new boss cleaning up the mess of his fired predecessor — ought to embrace that.”

Whatever man, you and buddy pal are the experts. Go fix the team. Just avoid adding all the players you still love who are no longer in the league. That would help.

Herd – Totally hear you on the pain. Can’t be worth it.
“Give him the chance to do some real winning, even if it requires patience.”
I agree with this..I liked the article, and….there is that ugly word again…”patience”…LOL
Oh, and….Just Beat the Colts!!! Next game up!
If the Dolphins do the right thing, and they draft a QB next season, maybe 2, hopefully at some point that will be the 6th and 7th QB’s Gase will have played in his tenure. I feel like there’s just a built in excuse now, because if Tannehill struggles if/when he comes back, they can say it’s his shoulder, but he’ll be fine for next season. That won’t sit well with me at all.
Look around the NFL and find me a QB who has been average or less than average his entire career that’s about as long as Tannehill’s, and has never played in a playoff game, that is still starting for the team he was drafted to. The only close example is Matt Stafford, who has lost 3 playoff games, 0-3. He had been an average QB who didn’t miss a game, an iron man so to speak, but that’s over and done with. Now he’s had knee surgery and a shoulder injury, and has missed 24 games in the last 3 seasons. What is it exactly we’re waiting to happen?
To add to the anti-Tannaehill ledger, whether perception tells you differently, the 2 other “starting” QB’s Gase has had here have put up statistics almost mirroring Ryan Tannehill’s. I know the perception is that Cutler played awful, and sometimes he did, and also that Osweiler has played awful this season, and sometimes he did, yet statistically, they match up pretty close with Tannehill
nice post Wyoming, right on point!
Tannehills injuries could have and would have happened to any QB in the same scenarios. he has had a poor coaching staff his entire career with Philbin and his college OC, Bill Lazor LOL!
he’s 11-7 with gase, and most of the teams that Gase has fielded are the players he inherited from Philbin.
if you fire Gase and dump tannehill you’re back on the mediocre merry go round.
good luck with that.
give them guys a chance, they will get healthy again.
My comment wasn’t so much about Gase as it was about Tannehill. Both Cutler and Osweiler have played with the same roster Tannehill did, except for the heroic Jay Ajayi. 🙂
Do you think Tannehill is going to play at a higher level than he has? If not, whatever he’s done hasn’t been good enough to get us to the playoffs and actually win a playoff game.
Kaepernick is still available.
He’s like the car service I used to use back in Brooklyn before I got my drivers license, “Always Available”. He’d probably be as good or better than T-Hill or Oz
Also, would another QB mask the poor play of this defense?
SB – Maybe if we converted on 3rd down, the defense wouldn’t be on the field all day. Also, maybe if our offense scored, it would put some pressure on the opposing team. It also might give the defense a jolt if we actually took a big lead. Might,I say, might . . .
With the QB F/A class the way it is next year (sheesh) with the likes of:
Matt Schaub
RG III
Tyrod Taylor
Matt Cassel
David Fales
OZ
Josh McCown
Teddy Bridgewater
Nick Foles
Landry Jones
Ryan Fitz
Colt McCoy
etc
It is obvious we need to draft 1 or 2. I will take D’s draft from yesterday! Tannehill will be back. Teddy B and Foles will want to go to a team to start. McCown may retire but wouldn’t mind him as a backup with Falk and a rookie. What about Landry Jones as a vet back up. I would take him over Oz. I just don’t know. This sucks, LOL.
I know Lou would jizz if we signed Nick Foles. lol
Bridgewater please
Wake, Quinn and Hayes are all F/A’s in 2019. Who do you keep? We were deep at DE to start the year, now we will be really depleted to start next. If we don’t resign any of our own, we need to draft a DE as well and will have to sign at least one or two. Who do you try to sign out of the top 4-3 DE group? Trey Flowers, Demarcus Lawrence, Brandon Graham, Ezekiel Ansah?
I would sign Wake, but for the love of God, he needs to be a situational pass rusher only. It’s not his fault we can’t stay healthy, but that’s what he needs to be. Quiinn is not a FA next season, but we can cut him and he has no dead cap hit. He will cost just shy of $13M. I’d like to see how he finishes this season, but at the moment, I’m inclined to say he’s gone next year.
If we cut Tannehill, Quinn and Parker and Branch that’s $42M in cap space freed up
Mike,
You’re preaching to the choir
Was that you in the back row sleeping?
Tannehill IS mediocre. I love how people decide to highlight one small section of his 7 year career and pretend that’s what he is…and pretend like he had nothing to do with the other games. NOT.

As @finszone noted, former Broncos QB Paxton Lynch worked out for Dolphins today, per source. But merely due diligence
First snow of the fall today. Hopefully changes to rain later on or I’ll be slipping and sliding all the way to the other office I have to work in this evening.

Or maybe if the defense made a fucking stop they wouldn’t be on the field all day either!
BLOW IT UP!
BLOW IT ALL UP!
Sorry Mike E. website I went to showed Quinn a F/A but you’re right.
Son likes Paxton Lynch cause he played for Memphis!
I know his career has been a dud
But I liked Lynch coming out of college as well
If we sign lynch, then between Lynch and Falk there’s a couple of young guys with some potential
2016 was probably the worst thing that could have happened. It made people think we were a better team than we are. Tannehill was not the reason we won 10 games. He contributed, of course, but it was a top 10 rushing attack that made the difference. Tannehill put up numbers that were basically the same he has his whole career. Add in that we played the easiest schedule in the league that year and had very few significant injuries, and you get 10 wins. Tannehill helped the team win 7.5 games in 2016. Moore helped them win the other 2.5, I guess. Lol
****
Also, I thought I heard about 100 times around here that W/L aren’t a QB stat, so why are people bothering to constantly point out how many wins THE TEAM has had during a specific period of time? If you wanna change your tune and say W/L are now a QB stat, then Tannehill is a mediocre QB because his “record” is 40-42. Can you say “mediocre”?
Tannehill!
Mandelbaum!
Cartwright!
Bundy!

___________________________________
I believe you’re taking my post out of context.
it was more in regards to realizing the potential of the Tannhill Gase combo, to decide whether we should keep that intact. they are 11-7 together, I know the Tanne/Gase haters around here will try to minimize that fact but it is true.
so if you have a QB HC combo that has went 11-7….do you lose 18 million and fire them?
as for earlier in his career he wasn’t a very polished QB and he had a horse shit FO for the first part of his career
Not sure about the QB HC combo, but pretty darn sure Gase will be here next year. And really don’t see a scenario where Tanny is not least the QB while waiting for/competing with someone else other than as part of a huge trade for one.
My mind is open about Tanny. The one thing know for sure is that want him back and the sooner the better. If nothing else that will help us have more to go off of come the offseason. Not that was ever on the OZ boat, but darn sure at this point don’t want Brock O to be anything other than our back-up QB.
Do we really need more to go on? Do you expect him with his sore shoulder to play any better than he has at any point during his career with a healthy shoulder? Maybe (probably) I’m close minded with him, but with our cobbled O-lone, his bad shoulder, I can’t imagine all of a sudden we’ll have a Rich Gannon type meteoric rise
I just haven’t seen him play a lot of games in the last three seasons. Don’t see the harm in seeing him play more. And if he crashes and burns then walk away from him knowing no need to look back.
I’m not sure how good Tannehill is with this current team, but with everything that has been invested in him i don’t think you can fold the tent on him now especially if the HC is behind him.
He has a tent?

You mean the great and revered Parcells? Couldn’t agree more!
Parcells was long gone by then.
Oh yeah, I now get Henne and Tannehill mixed up. lol
Parcels was long gone before RT got here. Took his money and ran.
Tim,
you owe me a Sprite zero.
No you owe me a Bass Ale. 🙂
lol, I totally read that wrong.
I can see it’ll be skip he blog till next week!
Ya’ll have fun in piggi’s (ya just imagine the fricken squiggly on the I) wallow! 😉
Why skip till next week? This is the only week we probably won’t lose. 😉
I don’t know how to do that accent either
but THAT’S NOT A SQUIGGLY!
Wyoming — the Dolphins cheerleaders are visiting schools, going to car dealer events, and working out hard this week. There ain’t no bye week for you my friend.
Did somebody say cheerleaders?!! 😉
Do you guys like the new logo
Would you like it if the dolphins did something similar?
Me no likey.
It’s closer to our old logo, but I don’t want those colors Piggí
The Heat did something similar – although I think this is just a 2018 nba thing

Just curios if they do a black uniform alternative with our current colors
Would be interesting
I kinda like the black uni alternative. Black and aqua and orange look good together
It would be fun for “colorush” game or something
The color rush uniforms were pretty much junk – but maybe just give teams a little more flex for an alternative jersey
I always want a grey alternate – not so much black
But Miami teams seem to be doing black jerseys and making a lot of $
Your right Stanger!
The Heat has more of a Miami Vice feel
Their new unis are really popular
Why does the marlin’s new logo have a huge red neon striped penis?
You see a penis where no one else does!
Miamí
How do you guys do the accent?
Piggí likes the Miamí logo

Ooooooh!
I thought it was Florida Marlins. Shows how long I’ve not followed baseball. LOL
It was cool when I was down there going to a MLB game for $5 tho. LOL
Remember that homeless vet who gave his last $20 bucks to get that nice woman who had run out of gas home?
———————–
It was a feel-good story for the ages — a homeless military veteran’s random act of kindness and a New Jersey couple intent on helping him get back on his feet during the holidays — that inspired people to donate than $400,000 in an online fundraiser when it went viral last fall.
Inspired by Bobbitt’s selflessness, McClure and D’Amico launched a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $10,000 to get him an apartment, a “reliable vehicle” and cover four to six months of expenses.
The three were each charged with second-degree conspiracy and theft by deception. If convicted on all charges, D’Amico, McClure and Bobbitt each face 10 to 20 years in prison.
Less than an hour after the couple’s online campaign went live, McClure texted a friend, “OK so wait, the gas part is completely made up, but the guy isn’t. I had to make something up to make people feel bad.”
According to prosecutors, D’Amico and McClure spent the vast majority of the money raised by mid-March, buying a car, going on trips and hitting the casinos “hard.”
LMAO
Sucker born every minute. I can only imagine all the ones that dont get caught.
ORob,
“Gase and Tannehill” were nothing. The team may have obtained that record, but “Gase and Tannehill” did not. Putting it that way suggests that those two were somehow more responsible for that record than anybody else, and they weren’t. Frankly, Ajayi should probably get more credit for any success we had in 2016 than “Gase and Tannehill”, and he’s not here anymore.
yeah, but who called plays for Ajayi to run? that’s right Gase and Tannehill now don’t you look foolish?
I love lamp.
Yeah he was awesome. RIP Roy.
He he he haw haw haw
exactly Randy, running cures a lot offensively, but Gase seems to get that with the addition of Gore,
he acquired his best QB rating with a strong running game.
So that would be Gase setting up the run to help Tannehill.
Again back to the Tannehill/Gase combo. it doesn’t matter how you do it as long as you do it.
he also revamped the OL to run block for a strong running game, they just all went down with injury/
we are going on 3 years invested in him on a 5 year deal, we’re only going to get deeper as a team and better.
I’m against getting rid of either Tannehill or Gase regardless of the outcome of this year.
I say reevaluate after the 4th year
Gase seems to be on the right track.
Sitton missed 3 games his whole Career and tore his rotator cuff in the first game. just dumb bad luck
Not according to some on here….
But I agree with you.
Look at the moves he made last year, he got rid of Suh$$$$, got rid of Landry$$$$, brought in Wilson, Amendola, Quinn, Sitton, gore …etc
he seems to be on the right track just with the moves he’s made in one year.
what moves are we in store for next off season???
will we be a deeper team next year?
will we have 15 starters injured next year?
ORob,
As I’ve said, I’m still a little torn on Gase. I’m not opposed to keeping him, but it wouldn’t bug me that much if they didn’t. Tannehill is another story. He’s had more than enough time to show what he is, and it’s nothing to worry about losing. If folks feel he’s “good enough”, okay. I just don’t think he’s good enough to win big games. I just haven’t seen it. I prefer to try to get better at that very important position because this team will never make a run at a SB with him at QB, in my opinion.
Sorry if this is redundant to you all. I have been away. copied from Phinsider:
This is a really short post about Tannehill’s contract. Some people believe that because 13 million will hit the cap that money will need to be paid to Tannehill.
That money has already been paid to Tannehill. One observation. MIami does not owe Tannehill one penny. Much less 13 million dollars.
The 13 million that will hit the cap is bonus money that has already been paid to Tannehill. This consist of the initial bonus from his second contract in 2015 plus the amount of salary that was paid to him as a bonus last year. The amounts are broken down as follows:
1. Initial bonus of 11.5 paid in 2015 spread over 5 years. This is 2.3 million a year ending in 2019.
2. 16.5 million of salary paid as a bonus in 2018. This is an additional 5.5 million starting in 18 and ending in 2020.
Tannehill salary is non-guaranteed and is 18.725 million in 2019. He would not be paid if he is cut.
But the 2.3 million left from the first bonus and the 11 million left from the 2nd bonus would all hit the cap if he is cut before June 1st. That totals 13.2 million which would hit the Dolphins cap but that no one will ask Ross for.
That is money that Tannehill already has in his pocket but has not hit the cap.
So the summary to Tannehill is 18.7 million to play- 0 dollars if cut
To the team is 18.7 million paid to Tannehill plus 8 millions combined bonuses = about 26 million.

Almost apologize for posting this but it appears that some people are confused with the math which is confusing.
Hope it helps.

Rock mentioned this a week ago or so and I reiterated it the other day.
So what that site says is his salary for 2019 is $8,676,666.
Nice job Son. Oh and good article too
