Today HOF Miami Dolphins LB Nick Buoniconti passed away. He was the leader of the “No Name Defense” that helped the Dolphins win two Super Bowls. He was a very charitable, impressive individual outside of sports. He will be sorely missed.
RIP Nick Buoniconti
So training camp is here and I’ve failed to feel any excitement other than the dact that it started. I don’t think it’s the team’s fault necessarily, i think it’s just the nature of practices, how short they are, and how much less physical they have to be to meet today’s safety standards. We also had one of our coaches fired this week, pretty odd at this juncture. You could look at this a few different ways. If you want the positive spin, it’s great that Flores recognized a deficiency early enough and immediately took action. Some guys may have waited around to see if there was any improvement which could easily have cost us some poor play early on. Also on a positive spin, putting the O-line in the hands of Dave DeGuglielmo is a good thing as he is a very experienced coach, coaching since 2004. If you want to look at the negative side, Flaherty wasn’t a great hire for the rookie Head Coach Flores. He was also previously the O-line coach in 2017 for the Dolphins and I needn’t remind you we were awful as per usghe at that time. In any case, let’s hope for the best in this regard.
I was hoping to see some player really show well, and so far it’s just been a whole lot of “eh”. We signed former Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Hurns, who played briefly last year for the Cowboys. I really liked Hurns when he was tearing up the league along with Allen Robinson at Jacksonville. If we get something close to that Allen Hurns we did very well. I was unrealistically hoping for a strong start from QB Josh Rosen. I didn’t really expect it this early but was hoping for a surprise. Instead we found out he never had to identify the MLB in any stop in his football career. Seems so odd to me, I thought it was a given. This doesn’t make him any less a QB, but just something he will need to learn, and Josh Rosen has been a player who studies the game, so bet on him getting this down, as well as the offense too.
Anyone think maybe Charles Harris would be tearing things up? Another thing I hoped for, but it’s very early yet, and he’s going to have a chance to make some hay as the preseason games begin 8/8, just a week and a half away! One guy who the coaches seem to be very high on early on is LB Jerome Baker. He’s going to be an impact player, taking off from where he left last year. He can do it all, run, tackle, cover and rush the passer and he will be asked to do all of those things. An early revelation has Minkah playing mostly slot corner, but I would think by the time the season starts, he will be doing a lot more as he did last season. As long as he’s doing things he’s great at, let it happen.
Things I look for to change in the next couple of weeks. I want Gug’s to try and find that starting 5 as quickly as he can and get them playing together as much as possible. I think the earlier we do that the better chance we have of having a cohesive unit out there. I also want to see guys take step forward, especially the aforementioned Charles Harris and Josh Rosen. Whether Rosen begins the season as the starter is not crucial to me, but to know he’s good enough to do so if needed is. I would really like it if he makes leaps and bounds in understanding the offense and making better throws under duress. If he doesn’t accomplish this, we may not see him this year as a starter unless of course something happens to Fitz or he just plays awful, neither of which I want to see.Training camp runs until Aug 6th, and then our forst game action as I mentioned will be August 8th at home against Atlanta.
GO DOLPHINS!

With all the other crap going on I missed this one!
Right down the street!
That’s bizarre. Is that a common form of police transporting criminals? I mean horses don’t have hands so if they’re both mounted, they wouldn’t be able to take him down from horseback if he fled.
From what I’ve read it is policy to do that for short distances.
I’m sure that will be changed soon!
i hope nobody slaps that horse on the ass!
Mike, I don’t think this week or next week are national telecasts but our week 3 game is. On ESPN I think.
Incidentally, who took Witten’s place in the MNF booth since he went back to football?
Booger McFarland. I think
He’s worse than Witten.
he’s pretty snotty!
Steve – Stop picking on boogers!
1st depth chart is out, Fitz is ahead of rosen….wilkins and dieter are rookie starters…mccain is FS, minkah is 2nd team, preston williams is 3rd team behind ford and irwin
walton is the 3rd RB ans Gaskin is behind him
and you know who is the starting running back.
3 of the 4 preseason games are on Thursday so I’m not getting the NFL preseason package. I’ll just wait for the replays on NFLN
atl vs mia, on in ocala thurs night 7pm CBS
OK, what time should I come over?
Anytime brother
8/14
10:00 AM
NFL PRESEASON GAME
“NFL Preseason Game” – Preseason Week 1: Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins (from 8/8/19).
Should be able to find it on YouTube before then.
Rob – That would be fun – Hopefully you can make it to the Fest, or at the very least D&B
it’s always a last minute decision
Game time decision
https://www.yahoo.com/news/unbelievable-york-times-slammed-front-041050160.html
LOL – The Liberal beacon of NY slammed by Dems. Too funny
They complain when they claim that he promotes racism. When he promotes unity and denounces racism they complain about that too. I think they just fucking complain about everything!
That’s good news! We NEED him!
Wyo – Has Shaq been at RG for a while? I have a feeling Deiter will be our starting LG, but Shaq I think is a longshot for RG.
the last couple of practices I think?
OK, thanks
We’ve heard that shit so many times, these tall speedy Randy Moss types, that light the world on fire in camp, then get into a preseason game and stink it up. Why should we expect anything different this time?
I do have an expectation this year for him!
Make the team and contribute when asked too!
Just like everyone else on the team!
I think he’s going to be a stud, just playing a little devil’s advocate 🤔
He might even light a fire under Parker’s…
Fitz should be salivating, with the opportunities he may have deep, but as much of a gunslinger as he is, I think Rosen has a better skill set to work with these guys.
If we can just block someone…I expect a lot of 2 TE sets.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/five-bold-dolphins-predictions-for-2019-nfl-season-josh-rosen-gets-last-laugh-on-the-cardinals-and-more/
Some positive Dolphins outlooks for a change . . .
The Ballage prediction was odd. Doesn’t it always seem like we draft a Robin RB, then when they get to us we find out why they didnt start in college? Drake, Ballage, Ronnie Brown…
WTF
I’m hoping they find the right role for Drake, running wide and catching passes, and he embraces it, and excels. Leave the tough running to someone else.
Steve – With RB by committee, it’s not the worst thing to have a Robin or two, especially when they have talent. Gaskin is a Batman, we’ll see how he turns out.
It could be worse!
We can still talk football here right???
You bet! I believe I was talking football . . . .
Nobody was talking at all!!!!!!!!!
More good news, especially for those wearing Rosen colored glasses . . .
Not only that but if he does take over eventually, he will have to build that chemistry at the worst time…during the season when there is limited time to do anything but the basic gameplan for each week.
I’m torn on Zeke. I really don’t like players trying to force changes to their contracts but he is one of their most talented players and a huge focus of the team JJ wants built. It helps his narrative that their QB isn’t very good. but I don’t think he deserves a new contract before Cooper.
I do. I know he has 2 years left, but those 2 years don’t add up to Coopers one year where he’ll be making just shy of $14M. What has Cooper done for the Cowboys? He played a little more than half a season for the Cowboys. Zeke has had nearly 900 carries and he’s at a position where he is much more likely to get injured.
Man when I 1st read that I thought I saw the team that JJ Watt built. PFFFT !!
How bout Jimmy Johnson?
I figured that out as soon as i reread it 🙂
Nah man, it’s Jerry Jones. Still, you think of JJ and the Cowboys and you think Jimmy Johnson
OK.. I’m taking my ball and going home you effin meany.
LOL – Sorry Doggy! You know I could never be mean to you Dog

—————————————————-
I think he has been off and on with the ones a bit, but with Davis moved out to RT because Mills is injured, they have this line up as an interim starting group. Mills comes back they probably kick Davis back in to OG.
Mike,
Good points I think Amari was instrumental in getting a 3-4 team to 10-6 and the divisional round. They looked so much better because the QB needed top flight talent to make up for his weaknesses. Zeke does some of the same thing but there’s a lot more to it. Amari is closer to FA status and hasn’t caused anyone issues unlike Zeke. He’s played in 61 of a possible 64 games. Zeke on the other hand has only played in 40 of a possible 48 and has already seen a suspension and almost two. If it was just an apples to apples comparison between WRs, he’s not as valuable as Amari because he brings a ton of baggage.

Go on and take your ball!!! Noone wants to play with it anyway. It is covered in slimy dog drool!
From Omar:
STOCK UP
Left guard Michael Deiter concluded his second week of practicing with the first-team offense as the starting left guard, and he’s making far less mistakes these days. Deiter, a former Wisconsin standout the Dolphins selected in the third-round of the 2019 draft, has tightened up on his technique. Deiter will likely be given an opportunity prove he deserves to be the season-opening starter, playing ahead of Chris Reed during the preseason.
Well that is certainly nice to hear!! Keep up the good work Deiter!
Also from Omar:
STOCK DOWN
The Dolphins are entering year three of trying to make Charles Harris, the team’s 2017 first-round pick, a respectable defensive end. The problem is Harris struggled at setting the edge on running plays, and that is evident when Miami worked on its running game, which was the case on Tuesday. Harris was getting manhandled by Miami’s tight end Dwayne Allen, allowing running plays to get outside of his lane. That’s a recipe for disaster if it happens in games.
Well THIS sucks. Another first round bust.
Just in the great coconut Charlie Brown’s world!!
Don’t worry about Omar’s evaluations
I’ve got my eye on you kid! Now wipe off that silly grin.
Wow
All football pots today
So why exactly are we playing Bobby McCain at safety and Fitzpatrick at NB?
Am I hearing this right. Is that what is going on?
It seems the coaches liked what they saw of Minkah at nickel last year and feel McCain’s got a skill set to play safety.
I really just hope it’s about getting everyone expirence at multiple positions and we move McCain back to nickel and fitz to safety
I don’t care who plays where as long as it works.
It really doesn’t matter In the grand scheme of things
But I recall McCain being pretty good at nicks a couple of years ago and since then he’s been bounced around a bit
Like I said the other day, Preston Williams would have been a 2nd or 3rd pick if not for off the field issues but based on talent alone.
https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article233549642.html
What did he do?
Domestic assault and he was considered immature and troubled according to his teammates. But all signs are that he’s turning his life around and maturing and taking full advantage of his opportunity in Miami.
I know he transferred and that cost him some playing time
But that’s nothing to judge him harshly for
That’s just ncaa rules
▪ With Rowe sidelined, undrafted UTEP rookie Nik Needham spent a second consecutive day as the starting boundary cornerback opposite Xavien Howard. Needham dropped a potential interception from Ryan Fitzpatrick.
I hope Rowe can get healthy soon. I don’t want to see Needham being abused every pass. You know they won’t be trying X if they have “raw meat” ready to be torn apart on the other side.
We don’t need more ham
Piggy, Preston Williams might be a big time steal for us even though Omar tries to piss on it. LOL
What doesn’t Omar or Armando try to piss on
They’ve been doing it so long
They don’t know how to do things differently
He says stuff like this then goes on to give props to Williams for looking good giving him best performer over and over in practices. LOL
He needs to cover all bases so he can tell everyone in November that he called it in August

Why? Fitz is the better nickle corner and his numbers at FS when he played last year were not all that great. (He will be all over the formations anyway, so there is that)
I think we will see some mixing and matching in our secondary.
Like our DC said the other day.
Call it a 1-10 call it what every you want. We are going to get the best 11 guys on the field for the situation.
I just want to call Fitzpatrick a safety and be done with it…lol
so how is Baker the MVP when Howard is the best defensive player?
Go get it, Tank!
McCain is a dog in a good way.
For the Benkert fans:
Barcalounger tears . . .
LMAO
Okay I did not know we signed Allen Hurns. I know some people mentioned we should look into signing him but I did not know that we did. He has talent but his career seems to have gone downhill in recent years.
He was injured in the wildcard game last year. Broken (compound) ankle.
Stanger,
Thanks for the potshots at me yesterday. I’m not a knucklehead, nor did I EVER dictate what could be said on this blog. Rather, it was YOU who told me, via email, that I was expected to never talk politics again if I came on the FMU. And as such, very rarely did I ever go there, by your request.
Talk about suppression of individual rights (#1A), while most of y’all are talking about suppression of guns (#2A).
I apologize for trying to keep it football, as you’d asked me to do.
Welcome back M!
He meant it in an endearing way from how he wrote it and who he is. He refers to all of us as knuckleheads including himself which he also said, because at times we all are. 😉
The gun debate is actually very focused on the shooter and everyone wants to find a solution to stop the madness. Not one person here have I seen say eliminate gun ownership. This is not a liberal blog. I’d say it’s 70/30 Conservative/Libertarian over Liberals.
But good to see again. Hope all is well.

If it makes it easier for you, just call him a defensive back.
That’s how I look at it. Everyone likes to peg someone as this or that. I think versatility is great.
It’s fine
I just was kind of thinking Minkah was a safety when we drafted him
It’s going to screw up my pre-printed pro bowl votes…lol
LOL
Hey M – Good to see ya, even if you’re just reaming good ole Stanger. 🙂
Speaking of BarcaLounger….Lou should be back anytime.
Yeah, I miss him. Seriously
Versatility, match-ups, confusion, adjustments, scheming, etc. wtf? Is this football?
Maybe this is a turning point. I sure hope so and can’t wait to see what we have.
If Deiter can step up, that would be huge! A two’fer at G, L and R, I think I will need a robe.
Really rooting for deiter to be a solid OG
Me too….been pining for Richie and I know how that sounds.
I’m drinking…..to much koolaid.
too
Hey MF13!
Now I wonder if I can invoke Bat next?
Jill Ellis at Dolphin TC, “Play hard against each other in training…..Every day, our players pushed each other. And that’s what helps you, because iron sharpens iron….the details and preparation is the key to get it done.”
You mean “practice”?
Words from a champion…..
BTW…..she’s now the retired coach of the greatest US soccer team over the last 20 years.
Technically stone sharpens iron, but it’s the thought that counts…
I wondered about that too…seemed off to me but rationalized it…lol
Another article in USA Today, talks about X-man. Nice.
People see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear.
Of the people who get involved in the “debates” on here, the majority is definitely right of center. There is a sizable group that do not get involved; my guess is they are not as “staunch” in their ideology or are less conservative (I have theories as to why this might be).
True about people seeing what they want to see or hearing what they want to hear. I’d like to hear the theories too . . .
Lol- not going down that road…
or it may be because some have grown tired of all the left and right opinions being hurled at them.
good to hear from you MF-13
OK we’re about 36 hours to start the pre season….can’t wait!
looks like Fitz will start, i just hope we avoid injuries
Maybe Game 1, but that could be the last one!
Preseason Game 1
as for the depth chart i think the OL is the most uncertain position.
Tunsil at LT and Kilgore at center seems to be good.
Deiter has been working at the LG position, calhoun the RG and Davis the RT
if anything the right side of our ol may be suspect
I hope Flores/Googs can bring the magic from NE that saw brady shine no matter how bad the OL was.
i agree, the qb has a lot to do with the misconception of an inept OL, tanny took decades to get rid of the ball forcing the ol to maintain way too long whereas brady gets the ball out very quickly making his ol look great.
I have a phone interview in a few minutes, I haven’t interviewed in over 17 years. A little nervous
good luck
Thanks!
Ask them id if they put out, should wrap up the interview pretty quick despite the answer.
Shall we just call you Dr. Mike now😉
Good luck Mike!
this defense will probably have a lot of DBs playing in it, which brings me to the traditional CB and safety positions, i don’t think you call them that in this D, they are all just DB’s
I think most of the positions on this D are pretty fluid, so best calling them DB LB and DL, because i think the ideas of more specific terms like NCB or SLB or DT might also be really hard to quantify game to game if not snap to snap.
Yes, I agree. According to each situation. The one I’m most interested to see is the cover zero, it’s what the cheats and Ravens use when they must get a stop or when they just want to put max pressure on the O. The cheats used it against the Falcons to rally late in SB LI. They also used it against us on a Monday nighter most of the first half, we came in undeafeated 3-0 I believe. I think wake tore his Achilles in that game.

—————————————–
Also he had a natural instinct to step back when h felt pressure and not forward, so he stepped into the pressure a lot of times. When it came to his pocket presence, he really was only a couple f concepts away from being good with it, but those were ones where i think the lack of time at the QB position in college really affect him having trained out of him those bad instincts.
yeah tanny had a big arm, lacked touch and pocket presence, not sure the things he lacked are very teachable though. you either have it or you don’t
I think if ya get a guy early enough you can coach him out of bad habits but he didnt have that luxury, and probably should have been why we didnt take him in the first. Im still 100% sure if he had stayed as a WR he would one of the better ones in the NFL right now.

What i was saying about not having a party is that fiscally im a conservative for sure. Socially though, im subject to subject and i dont see right and left i just see what i feel is right or wrong.
I wasn’t reflecting on what you said so much but about what Tim said.
So much is happening in camp, that the national writers cant seem to keep up. Read an article about the story line behind each game. Ours said how much further ahead Fitz was over Rosen (last week’s news).
I’m just glad to hear it’s a competitive battle
Or that Rosen isnt the fodder he was during OTAs.
You must feel like a ping pong ball. The problem I see with doing that is there’s no big picture, for example should high powered assault rifles been banned? On the surface you’d think they obviously should, but behind the scenes there’s other things to consider. I’d like to leave it there, so we dont get into a huge partisan discussion.
I’m just saying each subject leads to something else, which path do you ultimately want to go down?
This first preseason game should be a good test for our OL. Didn’t Atlanta blitz most of the time in their 1st preseason game?
M13 — Point was I missed you, and I do. And yeah threw out a bit abut your passion for politics, but what brothers do to each other. All meant with love. Hope you set up and stay a while.
So first interview in over 17 years, and via phone nonetheless. Times have changed. Next one will be either a video interview or an in person interview. I’m not up to the new lingo and catch phrases that people want to hear like “I want to be challenged”, or “I like to problem solve”, blah blah blah. I just acted like myself which means I probably won’t be getting a follow up interview. lol
Don’t feel to bad!
I’m TERRIBLE at selling myself!
Unless it’s escorting! 😉
LOL! It’s a game, and I haven’t played in far too long. The way it’s played is a definitely different than it used to be, and I’m not polished on current gameplay. I suppose the next interview I’d be a little better and continue to improve with each one. I do need to get myself out there, I think I need a change.
Acting like yourself is exactly what you should have done. Worst thing is when the person comes off as all “what you want to hear.” In one interview the answer to “what’s your biggest obstacle to overcome” was actually “I just care too much about doing a good job.”
I hear ya, sometimes my biggest obstacle is NOT strangling the big kahuna in charge. Definitely deserves it, trust me. Think One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. 🙂
LOL — didn’t say you had to tell all the truth. Just not lie. In that case — “I want to have more” executive responsibility or independance would be the way to describe.
Fuck Stills. Hope his leg falls off.
Stilla ain’t wrong.
👍
Piggy, if your leg falls off we will slo roast it.
Unacceptable
I’ve always had said to myself, if any of my limbs fall off, they should be deep fried
Just me?
If I was Ross I would trade Stills to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for a bag of chips.
How about we just go with Lechon Asada?
That sounds good Phish
We can save the deep frying for your dorsal fin
Mike E. – I hold a lot of interviews and I hate canned statements like “I want to be challenged.”
Good to know, maybe I have a chance after all.
Regarding Brady’s OL – While he does get rid of it quickly, it seems like when he needs time in the pocket they give him enough for a European vacation.
What a maroon!
It always makes me wonder why they don’t have a full time life coach!
You know
Let me drive you drunk bastard!
No you don’t need the .45acp or the 9mm to go out tonight!
Don’t take the supplements you bought on line from Haiti!
You’ve already got 3 baby mama’s wear a condom!
Cowboys did that with Dez Bryant. Had to hit about to lose your career for it to happen, but did seem to work more or less.
Can someone get Stanger under control? He’s gone from pot stocks to potshots. Stop him before he comes out with a diss track mixtape.
It’s too late
Stanger just ate a pot pie
He’s lost now
sb7 — just born bad to the bone…. pure genetics.
Mike,
I have a phone interview today too.
Good luck
You can use Piggy as a reference if you like
Good luck pal! I’m so detached from the process, I have no idea what an acceptable amount of time it will be for our next communication or if there even will be a next communication. Every 15 minutes of no email or phone call is a fail for me. I need some of Stanger’s pot, either a shot or a pie,
Generally speaking you would interview all your applicants and make your decision on who moves forward before any notifications. Could be several days to a week or more.
Lets just hope that OD doesn’t catch this one. 🙂
One of the reasons I started my own firm when I left my old one is bc I didn’t want to go through the interview process all over again
I feel for you guys
I hate that experience
But being the boss now, I gotta say, it’s probably more important people just be themselves so that I can judge what I’m working with
I don’t have any full time employees – so I’m not an expert, but I’ve hired people
For temp work and most of the time I’m just trying to gauge how much of my time they will demand and how much they will cost me
Oh you were interviewing….. not you were interviewing someone else.
Dont worry, you are too old to be a new hire so you can just rest easy knowing you didnt get it. 🙂
Mike all of that what they want to hear is nice, but I took a class many years ago on getting a job. Stupid counselor said I needed it for my degree, which I was pissed about at the time, but …
The only thing that really matters is using examples of what you’ve done in a past job to answer the question, it’s how I got my last 3 jobs, when i wouldn’t have, if i didnt use them.
In my interview for blackjack dealer school, many years ago, they started off by saying the competition was fierce and i didnt have enough time in at the company, so basically you aren’t going to get in. Then asked how I’d bring players to my table, if I was on a game with no players.
I said, in my previous job the company had a booth at the Reno Rodeo, selling their product. We had to sign up new customers. I was new, so my sales were about average, but the next month we did the same thing for the state fair and I had the most sales anyone had ever gotten from that event on our company (true story). They asked what I did in the booth, I said, talked to people walking by and got them to buy.
After my answer they said we have a super star here. After hearing that I new I got in and I did. 250 employees interviewed for 12 spots.
So you are saying you are that annoying ass clown at the dunking booth at the county fairs? lol
State fairs😛
Be real Piggy, you knew they wouldn’t hire you. I mean who takes a pig with a lumpy business suit (hiding the wings of course) seriously. At a BBQ joint, you are a star but as a lawyer, i mean how can you convince a jury of people who an only think about lunch break to listen to you and not day dream about roasting you.
You basically tell the jury that if they rule in your favor they might get to break for lunch early
D – Yeah, I’ve decided to throw my hat in the ring. I’m not happy with the direction our current
dictatoradministrator is taking our company. They have allowed about 8-10 good people quit in the last 3 months and don’t seem to trying hard to replace them. Instead, they are just dumping the workload on those still employed. I feel like that that’s how they’re going to try and operate, stretching everyone in 3 directions at once and not having a smaller payroll. I don’t play that shit. More and more are just going to jump ship and I want to make sure I’m not the last man standing.Steve – Blackjack dealer eh? Pretty cool!
That job sucked, people blowing smoke in your face all the time, bad hours, worked holidays, low pay…
OD is right, Steve Ross needs to sell the team, he cant get anything right
he always dumps on the season ticket holders and the players.
now Ross has decided in the wake of multiple shootings over the last week, that now is the best time to throw a quarter million dollars a plate fund raiser for trumps re election
this has infuriated many of the players and fans , and of course Kenny Stills has already called out Ross for his hypocrisy
i get the feeling Stills might leave, thanks to Ross, time will tell.
but
this has the potential to drive players and fans away from the dolphins, on the eve of their first preseason game
Mr, ROss, doesnt care much about the upcoming season, the Dolphins , its players and fans by his actions and uncaring attitude,
when its much more profitable to host the trump and his merry band of babywhiners at his house for big money
this is an insensitive, unthinking, and unqualified team owner in many ways, and he may be able to hold success back from the Dolphins for awhile with his ineptitude
fuck Steve Ross, hes a phony owner, his heart isnt into it, and count Me in as one of the fans that believe he needs to sell the team so the team can reach its full potential
Pardon me, but Steve Ross has a life and affiliations outside of owning the Miami Dolphins. Kenny Stills has a life and other affiliations outside of the playing for Steve Ross who pays his salary. If you could just for a second think, that maybe both are entitled to do as they see fit in both regards, maybe your previous post would make a lot less sense to you.
He has other businesses, so not everything in his life revolves around the Miami Dolphins. Kenny Stills doesn’t worry about Steve Ross thinks, so why should Steve Ross care what Kenny Stills thinks?
agreed, why should ross care what anyone thinks, why should the players bust their ass for a thoughtless owner?
sounds like a great recipe for a championship, ME first!, actrually, Not
David — I don’t like Trump, but if Ross does that is his politics. He’s also worth like $8 billion, pledged to give at least half to charity and has set up a bunch of programs for his players. He also just did the biggest private development in US history on the West Side of NY.
He’s big enough that owning the Dolphins is a hobby. He lives his life like he wants. And seems a real good dude. Even if yeah he doesn’t care about what you, I or Stills think about him throwing a political fundraiser.
In other news, Rex Ryan’s interest in Antonio Brown is said to be waning…
LOL!
It’s going to be a work in progress, but I think we’re going to get a good indication of how the year is going to go, from watching preseason game 1. Sure we’ll see improvement throughout the year, but that’s not what I’m talking about. We’ll know, if it’s the same ole Dolphins, or if Flores brings something drastically new. The score wont matter, it’s how the team does certain things, like blocking, penalties, physicality…
Ross is a big real estate guy, he bought the dolphins like an investor purchases a piece of property
someday ross can sell the phins and make a huge profit for his investment, even if the team goes 016 for 10 years straight? he STILL makes huge return on his investment
thats all that really matters to him by his actions, unfortunately we prefer a team owner that would commit to the players and fans and try for a championship
we wont get that from Ross, he just wants money, and lots of it
he owns the team and can do what he wishes, but the players and fans get cheated by his greed
He’s giving all his money away. And he is a life long Dolphins fan. Also put $500 mil of his own money into the stadium. Greedy bastard!
yea, hes giving all of trumps reelection money away? not possible
Funny, but glad that is not my kid. Unless he was doing it for viral fame…. then would want him. 🙂
Just spit my beer.
What do you want David? You talk about investments here all the time. If someone who doesn’t know any of us came on here periodically they would think the same of you. Is it wrong to want money? Is it wrong to earn money? Would you like it if you had an employee that was far right telling you what to say or do? Think about it!
