The Dolphins have 2 QB’s that couldn’t be more different to choose from. Ryan Fitzpatrick, much closer to the end of his career after 14 seasons in the NFL, and 2nd year QB Josh Rosen, very much at the beginning of his NFL career. One regard in which both QB’s are similar is that both of these QB’s are very intelligent, and both can digest an offense rather quickly and understand them. Of course the 14 year veteran Fitzgerald has basically seen it all so he would have an advantage, but Josh Rosen will know this offense by the time the season starts.
Ryan Fitzpatrick over his 14 years in the NFL has amassed a 50-75 record with 7 different teams, beginning with the St. Louis Rams, the Bengals, Bills, Titans, Titans, Texans, Jets and Bucs. In 2 seasons with the Bucs, the Bucs were 4-6 with Fitz at QB. His QB rating was 86 in 3 games in year 1, and last season it was 100.4, with 17 TD’s and 12 INT’s. Fitzpatrick has always been a “gunslinger”, he will try to fit the ball into tight spots and never fears throwing the INT. Over his entire career, he has 190 TD’s and 148 INT’s. That’s not good folks. At the very least you’d prefer your QB to have a 2:1 TD/INT ratio. This just illustrates that Fitz loves to take chances and many times they end up in the wrong uniforms hands.
Josh Rosen had a miserable rookie season in Arizona. The team was clearly awful, coached by a rookie Head Coach Steve Wilks who was shown the door after just one season. That in and of itself tells you things weren’t up to snuff. Josh Rosen was 3-10 in his first year. He came in to replace injured starting QB Sam Bradford (No kidding?) in game 3. He started the rest of the season finishing with 11 TD’s and 14 INT’s and a QB rating of 74.3. It’s obvious that Rosen was thrust into a difficult situation and if you want to see some positive things about the young QB, there’s this from former teammate RB David Johnson
” I think he’s going to end up being one of the most dominant quarterbacks in this league,” Johnson said of his former teammate.
There’s also this from former teammate and future HOF WR Larry Fitzgerald . . .
“If you’re a quarterback and you can’t stay on your feet, it’s very difficult to make a throw, let alone to be able to evaluate you,” Fitzgerald said via the ‘Mina Kimes Show Featuring Lenny’ podcast. “We’ve got to get guys healthy and be able to protect him and we’ve got to make some plays around him.”
Fitz said Rosen is “unique” in his mentality.
“He’s extremely confident and not in a bad way,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s able to forget very quickly a bad play, a bad decision. He’s really good at being able to put things behind him. He’s a great teammate. Really insightful. Just great to be around. He’s somebody who is really trying to learn, always. He’s inquisitive about life. And people like that usually find a way to be successful because they put the effort in. He’s got some talented guys around him that are going to help continue to make plays for him.
“I think he’s going to be just fine.”
No one forced these players to speak well of Josh Rosen, they chose to do so because that’s how they feel. I think you can trust what a player of Larry Fitzgerald’s caliber says. I’m still excited about Josh Rosen as our QB and I commend the team for keeping it very low key. It’s almost as if it’s a given that Ryan Fitzpatrick will be starting in 2019 although I don’t believe that’s the case. It’s not because we have to find out what Josh Rosen is before the 2020 NFL Draft, I think he’ll win the job because he’s driven, smart, and has more talent and upside than Ryan Fitzgerald. Once Rosen is comfortable with the offense, I think he’ll prove to be the better QB, and I feel that can happen by the end of the preseason. I look forward to watching the competition unfold in training camp, and ultimately finish up in preseason games. At that point, I believe Josh Rosen will win the starting QB job.
GO DOLPHINS!

Finsmob Unleashed 
AH AH EEH EEH TOOKIE TOOKIE 🙂
Who will be the Dolphins QB in 2019? — my answer is both of them, and not just cause of injury.
But whoever the starter is gonna have a lot of pressure on him, and not cause of blitzing LBs. Way we are set up is the perfect recipe for a QB controversy.
If we can run the ball well enough, that will take pressure off the QB. With the stable of RB’s we have we should be good in that regard. It’s up to the O-line to do their job
Sorta of guessing they will not be playing conservative on O. Maybe balanced, but not what ORob would like either. Setting up for the schemes of future.
George of Jungle here to help!
I couldn’t remember the cartoon with that bird but when I read Josh Rosen’s tookie season that’s the first thing that came to mind.
Never watched the show — but did learn he ended up a lot better than Fred did with Wilma…..even if both red heads.
LOL Doggy – I’m going to have to fire my editor! I had no idea what you were getting at there . . .
I watched that movie (George of the Jungle) with my kids at least 20 times. My wife and I both love it.
I just remember the cartoons when I was young when we had 4 channels to choose from. George of the Jungle was one of my favorites.
Our QB will be Joshryan Rositzpatrick
Old Whatshisnoodlearm?
He deserves to be in the HOF. It sucks he had to pay in the same era Ray Lewis, because he would already be in if that wasn’t the case.
*play
I met Zach one time, he was going into the sawgrass mall
Was he as cool as he seems in interviews?
We just waved and said Hi, he knew i knew who he was, looked like just a regular guy.
NBA draft tonight at 7pm, RJ Barret looks like a lock for the Knickerbockers, but will they pursue Durant?
The important question is who do the Heat draft
There are a bunch of big men where they pick
Manure Bol’s son
Some decent 6-10+ guys from Gonzaga and Kentucky
And a couple of decent foreign players with names like Goga and Sekou
I’m rooting for the guys who names I can’t pronounce
Recently it seems like nba big men don’t get drafted at the top anymore
Sekouuuuuuuuuuu (blowing in a conch)
email me mackrob47@yahoo.com
Wtf
WTF is right? How the hell would playoffs work? (one of many questions) If I was a Tampa fan, I’d tell the team to fuck off and move to Montreal.
**WTF? is right*** lol
I hope we can do better the “just fine” next draft
Dr. Rosen Hater Hater
lol, always gets a chuckle from me
I hope Rosen does start this year gives us a better chance to have a shot at Fromm next year
Stanger – I spent over an hour talking w/ Zach Thomas at Atlantis. He’s awesome, so willing to talk and hang out. I’ll never forget how nice he was.
That was so cool.
Yeah, he couldn’t have been any more down to earth and friendly
It seems pretty apparent that Rosen got a raw deal about his personality. I think people forget he’s only 22 as well. Being that he’s here now and I’ve paid more attention to him I don’t see anything he says or does as a character flaw.
Just go play QB, Josh, and forget the outside noise.
I think so too. No reason for his ex-teammates to go above and beyond to say those things if they weren’t true.
Yep!
LMAO @ Manure Bol
Should be Bol Bol Bol, if you consider his hair.
Zach should make the HOF just off that video above.
Few players could strike that hard and also have such soft hands and ball skills.
👍
He’s a victim of the time he played in. Bias aside, he’s a true HOF’er.
Why? Zach and Ray Lewis were the best MLBs in the game for a decade. HOF is always about were you the best in your era and Zach definitely was.
I am contending he did not make it in immediately because of Ray Lewis, not that he won’t ever get in.
Zach was a 5 time All Pro MLB in a span playing with Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher. Nuff said!
HOF!
For reference, Ray Lewis 7x, Urlacher 4x, both in the HOF
And Junior Seau
Right, Say-Ow too
I don’t know if it was “nuff”, since that hasn’t gotten him in. I also don’t get why urlacher is in over him.
It’s like the guys over at USA Today’s Dolphin’s Wire read this place…. this came out 3 hours ago.
Why hasn’t Dolphins LB Zach Thomas been inducted to the Hall of Fame?
And just cause know many don’t hit links — the Urlacher comparison is a particularly strong one
———————-
Urlacher also played 13 seasons in the NFL, logging four 1st-team All-Pro recognitions (one less than Thomas). Over the course of Urlacher’s career, Urlacher logged 400 less combined tackles, five extra interceptions and five less forced fumbles. To Urlacher’s credit, he did double Zach Thomas’ career sack totals with 41.5 over his 13 seasons.
But is an extra 21 sacks over 13 years the difference between being a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee and not being able make the final cut and serve as a finalist once in five years?
Try – It’s Nuff said as far as I’m concerned, but I’m not on the voting committee unfortunately
For me, there’s so much more to his career that gets overlooked by the election/voting committee. His dedication to his craft is greatly underappreciated.
Overlooked probably isn’t the right word- undervalued is better.
That’s true – Think of that LB that was drafted by SF in the 2nd RD I believe, I can’t think of his name. I wanted him for the Dolphins too. He retired after a season because he was concerned with concussions. Think of how Zach persevered through those concussions, purchased the hyperbaric chamber just to keep playing. That’s dedication above and beyond.
Something to chew on during the long HOT summer!
Wyo – I thought #3 is our QB?
Whatshisnoodlearm
Tim,
It appears Bob Irsay bought not only the Martin D-35 but also The Black Strat (and the case).
You mean Jim Irsay. $3.975M for The Black Strat. Wow!!!
I was just thinking that (Jim, not Bob).. yes- he basically spent $5mil on the collection.. That has been made public.
Mike E. says:
June 21, 2019 at 12:47 pm
Wyo – I thought #3 is our QB?
Reply
He is, and he is going to do for us what he did for Arizona. Put us in position to get the overall #1 pick next draft….
Boooooooooooooooooooooo
The entire Cardinals team was bad. Can’t put that all on a rookie QB.
it should say Larry Fitzgerald Highlights and Rosen lowlights.
There’s a lot of good stuff in there. With young QBs it’s all about do they have the skills and upside. There is no doubt Rosen has both.
Defensively we will see cover 0, nobody over the center in a down position and 2 DE’s in a down position
Rock — know you have your own view of Rosen, but like a lot of what I see in that vid. Puts the ball on the spot real well and has a strong arm.
we will also see bracket coverage where the best 2 recs are doubled
how did NE’s D shutdown the Rams to only 3 points in the SB?
To know what our D will look like we have to look back to the Pats D
The Pats defense physically beat the shit out of the Rams offense better than the Rams
defense did to the Pats offense. Game, set and match.
So the day I report to jury duty is the same day Zion plays his first Las Vegas Summer League game. I hope they let us out early, so I can get a good seat.

I like early Def Leopard
That’s panty droppin music at my house! 😉
Shit, posted the whole playlist. sorry,
This is what I was trying to post
Wife’s favorite song.
saw this done live in Columbia SC right after it came out. (I think.)
Was an awesome show. The whole coliseum was full of music.
Don’t know how they did that. Big venue. Big crowd.
all you could hear was the band,
and I always thought the flute was a delicate sounding instrument.
Speaking of music, we went to the Stone Pony in Asbury to see that group of kids again, my son’s friends brother in Vendetta Rose play. They opened up, and they are pumping out songs quickly, they wrote another 6 songs, but played only 3 new ones. I have a feeling this band might make it. I really hope they do

Thanks guys
Now I have a bunch to listen too
Kong – I love that song by Van Morrison. He’s very underrated as a musician and performer. I love the keyboards emulating the foghorn, very cool
Doesn’t it seem like Christian Wilkins is always having fun? Gotta love that guy
I think he’s going to be a fan favorite for years!
Hope so! We can use that, and hopefully it’s his play too that endears him to the fans, not just his effusive personality
Mike E.
I know your a little Jaded!
But his tape show’s a nonstop motor to match his personality!
Nah, not knocking him at all man, just hoping he plays well. I know he’s talented
On the other hand, I’m definitely jaded. 🙂
I meant you were Jaded on the team! 😉
Timing is everything, Into the Mystic now randomly playing on my iPod
Na na naa na na na na
Yup
Now “Domino”. I think I have about 900 songs, so that’s pretty random
I missed music Friday, I had a long day and then fell asleep watching Battle Bots

Would NOT have expected Def Lepard from Wyo. Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, Skynyrd but not Def Lepard.
Agreed, that surprised me as well. Don’t judge the cowboy! lol
Those bands were a little early for me.
Didn’t get into to much music until I could drive!
Def Leppard is a panty dropper at my house!
In my formative years it was
Def Leppard
ACDC
Foreigner
Journey
Loverboy
Police
ETC………
Hank Williams JR was a go to for Country
Chris Ledeaux was putting out tapes in the feed stores in Wyoming!
Belt buckle rubbing is George Strait!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I was a confused child!
This was my very first 8-track I purchased!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyXz6eMCj2k
You were expecting this?
Going out into la la land here guys
but with the young nucleus we have,
we could be looking at 3 Super Bowl runs in the next 5 years.
Saying this because we will find out some very specific laggards
this year, but we have lots of high draft picks to bring in real talent
to fix those and, fingers and toes crossed,
we could be really good really soon.
Naples – I saw Tull in 1977 in Tampa. First concert I ever attended. .38 Special opened, Johnny and Edgar Winter canceled because one of them had laryngitis, Robyn Trower played, then Tull headlined.
I have a friend that was at that concert, Ian Anderson put’s on a show!
Yes he does.
I’d be shocked if Wilkins doesn’t turn out to be a quality player.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VzakY8h5vI
Gesicki Struggled last year, was bad in press coverage, couldn’t get off the line, blocking sub par, but he is a freak athlete and if he’s used right some seem to think he can be great. if it were me i would try to put him in motion more often, a way to beat the jam at the LOS.
He’s a big WR. Meant to be split out. Hoping we don’t have to worry about the press from a DB though. Not why you have one of those.
Wyoming, I had that Nazareth 8 track also. When my first girlfriend broke up with me I must have listened to “Love Hurts” 20 times that day. LOL
Phel
I loved Johnny Winter playing the blues. I had a vinyl of him on that National Resonator guitar.
Thing sounded like it was powered by a jet engine. Bad Ass look too.
body looked retro future like from the Terminator or Blade Runner, but long before those.
I saw Johnny and Edgar, but don’t remember if associated with Tull.
I have this weird unsupported feeling that Gesicki will emerge and have a fine career for us.
I know Gase had success with Julius Thomas at TE, but forcing Gesicki to block on more plays than any other NFL TE last year seems either stupid or punitive.
We just have to realize who Gesicki is, and based on all the other TEs they have brought in seems that they do. Sorta like Parker in a way…. but dude makes some amazing plays at times (even if at this point mainly in college and practice vid).
It’s stupid. We had injuries like crazy at WR last year and he never even (best I can tell) took a practice rep as a wide out.
… not that Tannehill was capable of utilizing him but still
Hey guys! Just wanted to step out of the bushes with my binoculars and introduce myself! Been following some of you guys since the herald/SS days, before the exoduss. This site has been my go-to site for fins news / debates for some time, but this is my first time contributing. Just wanted to voice my appreciation to all of you, in giving a place to read about my beloved fins. LOVE the articles Mike, and I love the debates as well. (although sometimes they get pretty heated, but it’s still more informed than all of the fins Facebook groups I follow). Anyway, keep up the good work! Fins up from Montana!
HEY SON OF A SON: UCF plays at FAU the 2nd week of the upcoming season. This will be the game AFTER FAU opens at OHIO STATE (and gets crushed in the process)!! Gotta go with your Knights in this one but I’m hoping it’s at least competitive.
fave city … I saw PF in Atlanta, and they had this gong and laser and fireworks show going on that blew everyone away.
108 on the heat index in Naples today, as it’s about 98 degrees and 90+% humidity. There’s some kind of pressure dome over us.
Feels like you weigh 412 pounds when you try to walk the half mile to the swimming pool.
Tried to drink mimosas, margaritas, daiquiris, nothing helped.
Worst heat wave in a decade it seems.
People that throw their chewed gum on the ground for others to step on suck.
(Piggy spits his gum out on the ground to speak)
Totally agree!
Some countries in Europe have banned gum, for that reason Son.
Go Phins!!!
NAPLES: GOTTA AGREE with your views on extreme heat wave on the west coast of Florida. Today felt like a July day in San Antonio or Austin, Texas. And it’s supposed to be EVEN HOTTER TOMORROW!! Lakeland-Winter Haven-Sebring area may hit triple figures tomorrow, matched with high humidity. Fortunately, former governor Scott, now a U.S. senator, says there’s no such thing as climate change. THAT certainly puts my worries to rest!
Global Warming is real. It’s a real threat to life as we know it.
I can’t figure out why people are against admitting it.
To me it has no link to politics.
It’s just a data bit to be inserted into the calculus.
But it’s not a small thing.
No one that has a clue is debating global warming. The debate is the cause and there’s no proof its man made. We came out of the ice age, what caused that? Earth is always changing.
agree Steve, good post
No one that has a clue is debating global warming, its here
Hot
Feels like you weigh 412 pounds when you try to walk the half mile to the swimming pool.
Tried to drink mimosas, margaritas, daiquiris, nothing helped.
Lol Naples, like drinking all that would some how help.
gotta stay hydrated man
We elders need lots of ice.
Just found out a cousin of mine, that I haven’t seen in 40 years. Lives in Loxahatchee.
if Fitzpatrick starts this year i do believe that will be an upgrade over last year at the QB position, if Rosen starts i’m not so sure.
I agree
as for Drake, no matter how good some think he is his play will determine his placement in the depth chart. no matter how much you cheer for him he won’t be able to run btwn the tackles. you cant fit a square peg in a round hole. i think Gaskin will be our featured RB, they certainly drafted that type of RB for a reason.
I don’t really think there will be a featured back each and every week. I expect us to be much like NE was last year, where they changed things up every week depending on who they were playing. I expect all 3 backs to get a lot of work and I think even the FB Cox will be involved with more than just blocking. Man, if we get a run game going consistently, that really takes the pressure off the QB, whoever that may be.
It also takes the pressure off of the OL, that’s where it will really show up.
You got a QB that holds the ball too long, has questionable pocket pressence, on an O that calls too many passing plays and a below average OL. What’s the recipe for disaster Alex?
trump and the WH have censored scientific research on climate change.
his gut believes windmill cancer, but his brain rejects scientific research.
By keeping the public in the dark, federal agencies create an environment where inaction is justified.
There is ample proof that Global Warming is caused by the excess burning of fossil fuels and other man-made pollution.
Why not just accept that and get started on fixing the problem?
We are not gulty of a sin, because we could not predict the dire consequences of such fuel consumption of the magnitude that it has become, concomitant with the destruction of forests.
We are smart, and we can easily change our ways to better.
maybe its tough to accept global warming, when the fossil fuel industry lines Your pockets with Franklins
the gut full of big macs knows more than scientists?

the Silencing Climate Science Tracker, a database run by Columbia University’s Sabin Center law fellow Romany Webb, since December 2016.
“When you look at the tracker you see that the Trump administration has really undertaken a systematic attempt to silence science that doesn’t support its policies,” Webb says—namely, fossil fuel expansion. Websites focused on climate change have been deleted or rewritten. The word “climate” has been erased from program titles. Climate scientists have been prohibited from attending conferences or otherwise speaking publicly about their work. And scientific advisory boards have been disbanded. So far, Webb has documented evidence of censorship at the White House, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and nine federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency.
In some cases, the purge appears to have been ordered by senior leadership; in others, scientists censor themselves to avoid attention or consequences. “The chilling effect that this administration has on the federal agencies—my clients, I’ve never seen them so afraid,” says Kyla Bennett, who represents government whistleblowers for Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a legal nonprofit.
In some cases, the purge appears to have been ordered by senior leadership; in others, scientists censor themselves.
To Bennett, the motive is clear: “The more you remove [climate change] from public documents and the public eye, the less inclination there is for people to worry about it and want to do something about it.” Pretending the problem doesn’t exist also permits agencies to ignore it in policymaking. For example, in the months before the EPA announced its repeal of the Obama administration’s central carbon pollution-reduction policy in October 2017, references to climate change were wiped from many of its websites and climate scientists were reassigned to new departments. “In the absence of climate change, you don’t need something like the Clean Power Plan,” Bennett says.
However, climate denial hasn’t stopped agencies from addressing present impacts. In fact, only two days after the FEMA strategic plan was published, the agency approved a $1.7 million grant to relocate Alaskan climate refugees, who are losing their homes as melting sea ice, thawing permafrost, and rising sea levels combine to erode coastlines.
“They’re willing to start addressing the effects because they are becoming so severe and so pressing,” Webb says. “But they really don’t want to admit the underlying cause of them and take steps to address it.”

Give it up Wyo – The dumbass knows what the dumbass knows.
agreed, we really cant take a gut full of big macs spouting out windmill cancer lies
the dumb ass gut knows all, right?
Ya, but if the sky is falling do we run around in circles or in an oblong pattern?
I get confused! 😉
confusion was the desired result from the gut
censoring scientific research is a great assist to push an agenda
of course i am against government censorship, and intentional environment destruction
Throughout geological time, the Earth’s climate has varied drastically, primarily driven by through energy transfer from the sun to the Earth’s surface. This position and the interaction between the Earth and the sun (orbital variation) has varied over the Earth’s 4.6 billion year history, controlling the climate.
http://climatica.org.uk/climate-science-information/long-term-climate-change-milankovitch-cycles
https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
OK
I’m gonna regret asking this!
How in the hell did Trump influence the Orbital variation of the Earth?????
Asking for a friend!
censorship, anti environmental policies, are the solution to all this , or the problem?
Imbecile
what dont u get Phel? are you suggesting the gut full of big macs knows more than the generals?
are u suggesting you are socialist now, and enjoy your tax dollars going to alaska residents that are displaced due to rising seal levels and melting ice?
anyone can sit back and say, thats dumb
but that isnt acknowledging the problem or suggesting a solution
censorship and environment destruction does NOT make America great, it makes America coastal refugees to the tune of $51 million so far
I’m not even going to touch the censorship conspiracy theory!
But what policy did the administration put in that said “Let’s fuck the planet”?????
there are numerous examples, too many to post here, but i listed ONE above,
do You believe windmills cause cancer?
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/02/15-ways-trump-administration-impacted-environment/
wyoming, here is another couple hundred examples,,,,
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/03/how-trump-is-changing-science-environment/
David why don’t you just say this!
Since the Trump administration took office, it has been fighting what they call an “anti-growth” agenda put in place by the Obama administration.
Because that is what your articles say in a nut shell!
Let’s just say we agree to disagree on most of the subject matter!
obviously You havent read the 200+ examples already.
they arent about growth, they are about the anti environmental policies and ideas by the current administration
environmental protections do not stop growth, the economy and market increased 8 years in a row when Obama was enacting these environmental protections, proving environmental stewardship is compatible with growth
That is what we will disagree on!
The Obama administration did a lot of “stuff” that I don’t (and never will) agree with.
So it being repealed is no sweat off of my sack!
how can You disagree with the 200 plus examples i posted, when it would take at least an hour just to cursory glance at the incredible amount of info that is there?
these are facts the current administration is intentionally destroying the environment with his unsubstainable growth agenda
everyone wants economic growth, but like anything, it has to be substainable for us and our grandchildren
putting Americans in coal mines is the dumbest idea ever, it KILLS them
every step of coals path KILLS us, when clean alternatives were already in place.
why do away with cleaner alternatives? this is 2019, technology advances have made coal and fossil fuels obsolete
they are not clean, and not substainable
David
Have you ever worked at a coal mine?
Or a coal fired power plant?
I have worked in both!
And I don’t reckon I’m dead????
Name 1 just 1 alternative to fossil fuels that can 100% take it’s place right now @ 3:00PM today?
have you ever heard of fatalities in a coal mine?
black lung disease?
mine collapses? flooding? fire?
granted, not everyone died that was in a coal mine, however its an industry loaded with fatalities and injuries
but if you were a coal miner, You already know that
https://www.msha.gov/data-reports/fatality-reports/search
Most coal mines in the west are open pit mines!
I wasn’t a miner! I installed equipment for them!
This isn’t the 1950’s anymore!!!!!!!
Read the rest of that MSHA site on the PPE regulations!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it’s a dangerous business! As are all of them where you work with your hands!
Hell I’m setting next to a 500,000 barrel crude oil tank while I type this. 😉
dont light a match, lol be careful
And don’t even get me started on the stupidity of the Pipeline arguments!!!!!!
Which seemed to take up half of the 200 you posted!
no it doesnt, i have read them all
it takes at least 1 hour to really read all of them and check the sources
they cannot be read in 3 minutes
OK I read the headlines of Every Fricke one!
just curious wyoming,
since my point is trump enacts policies and changes to harm the environment, and gave hundreds of examples,,, that You havent read
You state You disagree, OK
what do You have showing the current admin is HELPING the environment?
Orange man bad!
Moron
lmao, we already know You are a moron, but try to keep up, question was for Wyo not
u
realizing conceptual thought or even simple reading comprehension is beyond You, that is why i asked someone MUCH more intelligent than You, Wyoming, lol
Oooh…The “I know you are but what am I?” Comeback. Burn…
Short bus window licker…
Yeah baby!
https://dolphinstalk.com/2019/06/24/albert-wilson-interview-with-dolphinstalk-com/
nice, i hope he kicks some ass this year!
Me too, and if he’s anything like he was last year he should!
I can’t stand looking at the “Orange man”, but my gosh, blaming him for the current state of climate change is beyond ridiculous. He can’t unilaterally cripple our climate by switching to other energy sources and go completely off of oil and coal. No democrat liberal left winger would do that either. I know some think the Democrats care about the planet more and care about kids more, they want me to pay for every kids college tuition after I just put 2 kids through college myself. Uhhh, no thanks. Let’s try to be realistic about what we think can be done here please . . .
I can’t stand listening to Trump…fingernails on a chalk board. But unless you are living in an echo chamber of denial, he has done more for the country than the three preceding Presidents.
thats confirming your gullibility
Phelon — that just trying to get David going?
The Trump Administration’s tumultuous presidency has brought a flurry of changes—both realized and anticipated—to U.S. environmental policy. Many of the actions roll back Obama-era policies that aimed to curb climate change and limit environmental pollution, while others threaten to limit federal funding for science and the environment
Doubling the timber from national forests will reduce wild fire damage!
Introducing Grizzly to Washington (to eat the Seattle hippies)
And by the way the list of 200 is just a play by play of what Trumps administration had done his first 2 years. Good or Bad depending on your perspective!
this is all You have showing Trump is helping the environment?
It’s more than he’s hurt it!
Most of the stuff on that list was Obama repeals.
I didn’t find anything in the 200 listed a “destroying the environment”!!!!!!!
so You dont have anything else showing where Trumps policies or ideas help the environment?
A co-worker of mine has a brother in law who is one of these environmental scientists. He says there’s no proof that man is causing global warming, and the reason you do see some scientists say there is evidence is because they loose funding, if they say theres no proof.
there are some interesting and debatable opinions out there,
but the environment suffers as we speak.
solutions are needed
What do ya got?
So I know a lot of you are thinking, “Let’s just ask Naples what to do about GW,”
but obviously the issue is fraught with peril to otherwise pleasant social discourse.
So let me give an example of solving an issue closer to home, and you be intelligent enough to extrapolate what to do about the imminent End of the World via heat stroke and rising ocean levels.
Nothing!
That’s what we can do!
So come hoping the board has gotten more busy, and yes it has. Nothing better than a David Day. 🙂
But global warming is real (both sides agree). And no matter how much cause of man or natural…. man can still fight what is going on. So either way — cleaner makes sense.
agreed
either way
we need to fix it before I sweat to death down here in
HellNaples.Substitute Topic then:
Hurricanes.
What to do about $B losses and loss of life and disruption of fun related to a natural phenomenon?
So, what causes hurricanes to eventually die off?
1) colder water temps and 2) passing over dry land.
Ergo, let’s tow barges of frozen mud directly into the path of Hurricane Abner.
Expensive? Not compared to hurricane damage.
Dangerous? not compared to hurricane winds and flooding.
Messy? not compared to hurricane aftermath
Hey you guys are smart. Let’s go collect all the derelict car bodies or abandoned appliances that would choke landfills and pack them with frozen mud. Or worn out ships, soviet apartments, etc.
And intead of really good mud, how about filling them with frozen kitchen garbage from every fast food restaurant, college dining hall, and Buffalo Bills tailgating brawl. The first two are mostly biodegradable and the third will make 700 pound tuna for us to harvest later that year.
I think I just heard mother nature chuckle! 😉
Naples — my planning is not as far ahead as you on this, but do tell my wife to put food down the garbage disposal cause figure feeds the fish.
