Things started off promising against the Chargers. After 3 games, in our 4th game we finally secured our first lead of the season. It was short lived however, and although we were competitive, the most competitive half to date, we still trailed after the 1st half 17-10. That didn’t bother me at all. I felt like we were in this game. The 2nd half told a different story than the first half, a more familiar story really, one in which we were basically over matched. Whatever positives we gleaned from the first half were washed away by an ineffective offense and a defense that just couldn’t hang in there as the T.O.P. swung completely in the Chargers favor. In the 1st half, we allowed the Chargers a 3 minute differential in keeping the ball. In the 2nd half, the Chargers practically had the ball the entire 2nd half, 21:05 to the Dolphins measly 8:55. That says it all.
The positives I took from the game is that if you give Josh Rosen a semblance of protection, he looks more than adequate. The 34 yard strike to WR DeVante Parker was a thing of beauty. The pass was thrown with the right amount of pace and was accurate and in stride and it looked easy. Don’t take that for granted, we’ve seen that exact scenario gone wrong so many times in the last 2 decades. What I like about Rosen is he can throw the ball some mustard when he has to, but he’s also capable of lofting a pass with a little arc and make it a much more catchable ball, like he did to Parker. Unfortunately, that was to be our only TD of the game. I mentioned in the last article, Kalen Ballage isn’t cutting it. He’s not a forceful runner, and worse, his hands out of the backfield are totally unreliable. Our version of the Cards David Johnson he will never, ever be.
Drake had a better game but I still don’t see anything that screams we need to keep him on the roster, and that’s basically what this season has become, a virtual tryout for next season and beyond. This stripped down roster will have even more players removed going into next season, so if Drake wants to make sure he’s here in 2020, he’s going to have to more than he’s currently doing. I’d say the number of players I think are a lock to make this team number less than 20. I’m hoping that number climbs as the season goes on. I’m sure some of you will argue with this, and I’m being kind with a couple of these, but these are the guys I believe that deserve to come back next season (some are also on the list due to potential). Josh Rosen, Michael Deiter, Evan Boehm, Preston Williams, Davon Godchaux, Christian Wilkins, Taco Charlton, Jerome Baker, Matt Haack, Raekwon McMillan and Sam Eguavoen. Not all of these are starters, but in my opinion deserve to be back up to this point.
Philip Rivers only missed on 6 passes. He was 24-30 for and easy 310 yards spread out to 8 different receivers. He was sacked only once (thanks to Taco!). He had an easy day out there, he really did. The Chargers didn’t need Melvin Gordon as Rivers had easy pickins all day long. Little pressure and poor coverage, many times due to not applying enough pressure gave Rivers and the Chargers an easy 2nd half. RB Austin Ekeler gave the Bolts over 120 combined yards, almost equally distributed through the run and pass game, 60 rushing, 62 receiving. He found his favorite target Keenan Allen only 5 times, but spread the ball around so well we couldn’t defend it. We are abysmal both at defending the run and pass, and when our offense can’t stay on the field, it gets worse and worse as the game goes on. All too familiar for us Dolphins fans, we’ve seen this script now for all too long and far too many times.
This the BYE week, which will undoubtedly provide us with Sonny’s Bi-Week babe. I look forward to it, and I look even more forward to the Fest which is quickly approaching, just 2 Sundays from yesterday. Can’t wait to see all of you!

Just the bought the orange lot parking passes for the Fest tailgate (and thinking about same general area as last year to set up). They were more this time even though seats less. Guessing that is cause building all the tennis stuff shrunk how many spots in the next-to-stadium prime tailgate area.
Any of you guys planning to drive & park on Fest day should at least get a yellow (outside) one. Saw those for less than $20 bucks. They tend to change the price depending on demand, but paid $50 to park opening day.
But best, safest and cheapest option is always to just hop on the Toba Bus.
Is there a pig landing pad available?
That’s they built the tennis courts with flying pigs in mind. But if you are leaving the wings at home cause the Skins fans pull the feathers…. talk to Toba. Could offer you a ride, but you wouldn’t like what time you have to show at my place.
Raekwon McMillan isn’t just being used at ILB, the coaches are using him at all the linebacker positions which they would prefer all their LBs be able to do. McMillan has embraced it and is improving every week. This fits into the multiple approach. In the big scheme of things this is just the beginning of developing players differently than in the past.

Woohooo come on comp pick start climbing!
Oh and Stanger, i thought of something the other day. If the comp pick is not taking ito consideration what they do this year, how much playing time they have this year, then the comp picks could be assigned before the end of the year and they only are calculated after the beginning of the new NFL year. So while i cant say for sure, i think that does give credence to the fact something that happens during the year this year affects the formula.
How are NFL compensatory picks determined?
The picks are awarded to teams that lose more, or better, compensatory free agents than they have acquired in the previous year. Learn about the rules of the NFL Draft. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula developed by the NFL Management Council based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.
The better part is the key though. The better is determined by playing time, post season honors, etc. I posted two links the other day that went into more detail and did say that performance markers definitely were part of the formula.
I think you are correct.
D — I’m not doubting that at least some current year., even if wouldn’t be surprised if not. Back to the formula is secret…. so can never insist am right about it. But do you really think that if has not one bit to do with the current season that the NFL would announce the comp picks for the next draft before the season is over? Sorta thinking they would choose to wait.
This is all due to fucking millennials and fucking facebook!
———————————————-
Ive fucked a few millenials, never fucked facebook, so i guess i might be part of the problem…..
Talk about an NFL original, this guy’s personal history goes back all the way to the beginning too.
Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill passed away Wednesday at the age of 88.
His father bought the Chicago Cardinals, which i think was the original Chicago team. He moved them to St. Louis.
Ravens waived OLB Tim Williams.
—————————————————
Id kick the tires on Williams, young, high draft pedigree, wouldnt hurt much to try him out.
That is the type of player we’ve been kicking the tires on.
The NFL keeps the compensatory pick formula a secret, so any predetermination is just a guess.
It’s not really a secret, it’s just not that cut and dried. It’s a numbers crunch so there really is nothing they could put out there that we fans could figure out. It’s different all the time. I posted what the basic formula is above.
It’s at least not public. And if is different all the time….. how can you figure out whether the comp pick next year for James is a 3rd, 4th or 5th? Best you can do is go off what has happened before.
You can reverse engineer most any formula. I have seen those little whiztards on MMO video games that reverse engineer really complex combat formulas to know exactly what stats they have to win, im sure the compensatory formula by comparison is fucking childs play lol.
Yes you would need a computer to do it. But in the big scheme of things does it really matter if we know the exact details?
Stanger, they have to crunch every team’s FA losses vs. gains, salaries of FAs, performance and postseason honors. How could there be a cut and dried formula year to year? The comp pick for James or any other players are pure speculation based on what people have seen in the past.
I agree. Maybe it is the formula thing that got me. You can have one of those that never changes yet different answers come up when you plug different numbers in. Man did I just sound like a math nerd. 🙂
But bottom line for me is that formula is not public, whether changes each year or not.
The formula stays the same the variables change. Why would they change it often?
The variables are part of the formula. That’s why it’s not easy to determine what teams will get what until all the variables are crunched.
A simple formula would be if a player signs this size deal and the team that lost him didn’t sign a player of same contract value, it’s a 3rd pick. But that’s not all it is.
Over time formula exposes itself. The only way it would would be if it changed year to year, and that would smell of tampering. If the formula is fair, its static, if its static, over the course of a few years you can expose the patterns in who got awarded what, so year by year the refining of that analysis gets you closer and closer to the factors that affect it, and how strongly they affect it. Like i said, it can be reverse engineered, and static formula can be.
Free agency isn’t exactly the same every year.
Yeah but thats not a variable its a scale-able constant. It changes year to year but only in the sense of the scale set by that year’s FA group, so even in the long run thats a constant. Like the idea that 150 in a 1000 point scaled system is the same as 1500 in a 10000 point scaled system.
Stanger, i saw your math nerd and upped the bet, your turn lol.
D — the formula is secret. And given that it is that means Tim could be right that they change it every year. So back to how can you predict anything with certainty when don’t know if 2+2 = 4, even if it did the year before? Which yes would mean all you can do is reverse engineer the results from an equation you never even knew.
To me i just like to know James on the field might mean a 3rd instead of a 4th lol, so James please stay healthy 🙂
D, what I mean is we’ve seen years with heavy comp picks being rewarded and other years it’s light. It depends on how much movement and high caliber FAs. You kind of get the idea of how it works when the Pats get rewarded comp picks a lot because they let quality players walk and don’t sign many. There are a lot of variables involved. That’s why I think it’s difficult to project.
Stanger, I don’t mean the formula changes, but FA isn’t always the same year to year. Some years are heavy FA activity and other years not as much. Then if you take performance and postseason honors into account the value of the comp picks are not always cut and dried.
Example: A FA like James signs a good deal like he did with Denver this year, plays every snap at a high level, is voted all pro and makes the pro bowl. Or he misses quite a bit of playing time, plays average and doesn’t get any of those awards, the comp pick value will be different.
I’m not even sure that about James is true…. but goes back to the formula is a secret. Think what happened the year before the contract is far more important, but D has convinced me that some post-contract metrics do come into play. Wondering if that mainly about hitting performance bonuses in the new contract though… which yes could include snaps played, pro-bowl honors and such. Even if indirectly.
That’s just it, it’s about so many things it’s not cut and dried. It’s not a secret, it’s unknown until it all comes together.

Stanger, they have to crunch every team’s FA losses vs. gains, salaries of FAs, performance and postseason honors.
Not to mention that the salaries keep increasing and position pay change per trends in the game. You could go by a formula that’s say “well he gets paid x so that is a fixed value.” Pretty sure Tannehill got paid more per year than Marino. “ gets paid more” has to be relative.
Another example is say a player you lose signs a big deal and is a bust for the team he signed with, and you signed a FA at a lesser deal but he had a great year, they will probably determine that you really didn’t lose much value therefore your roster didn’t take the hit it looked like during FA and don’t need extra draft compensation.
If the formula was static, you would know exactly what compensation you were getting regardless of how it played out during the season. But that’s not how it works as we know.
Yes well said
It doesn’t matter what the formula is because some of the variable criteria is subjective. How do you measure ‘performance’ as a variable? Or ‘loss vs gain’? That is the reason they keep it ‘secret’, or at least muddled, so they don’t have to constantly explain themselves in regards to how they weigh and measure that data.
Whatever the formula, you can bet your left nut there is a ‘Patriots player’ compounding function as part of the equation.
If we’re being technical it would be a ‘coefficient’ as opposed to a ‘compounding function’. lol, not that anyone cares.
How do you measure ‘performance’ as a variable? Or ‘loss vs gain’?
Snaps played and postseason honors. If you lost a player who went on to be a top player that year and you signed nobody that matched that. They will determine you have a void on your roster due to a loss in FA. That’s the basis of the system.
LOL, what is a ‘top’ player? Is being labeled a top player purely based on postseason ‘honors’? What does that mean by the way? Not everyone wins defensive player of the year, lol.
You lose a mediocre WR to a big contract and sign the best blocking fullback in the game for cheep
Ar there different levels of ‘top’ players? What are those criteria and scales? Do post season honors include whatever your team gives you to? What about team captain? What about man of the year awards? Can you have an amazing year on the field, but not win MVP, offensive player of the year, or any other league awards but meet certain contract criteria to increase your salary, how are those calculated?
Or to make it simpler, what is a top player again? lol
Good point, Rock. how do you evaluate ‘top’ players by position, then offset a FB vs a QB or WR? Si the best punter in the game worth more than a pretty good DE?
I bet half the criteria is subjective, which again is why it is secret.

👍👍👍
Tim,
I do understand your point. We can look at losing James and what we picked up in return and say “we’re getting a 3rd” for James. My point was it’s pointless to argue over specifics because of the subjective nature of some of these vafriables, and the fact we don’t know enough because of it. We can only guess, generally speaking, lol.
And if we were the Patriots, we’d know the Patriot coefficient would guarantee a 3rd rd pick regardless of other factors. But being the Dolphins, I wouldn’t be surprised if we somehow end up with a 4th…
Cax — I just think it great that we can all debate the secret NFL formula on this. No one can ever be wrong. What a great bye week discussion…. including turning it conspiracy theory like you just did. 🙂
Muahaha 👿
lol
The formula does seem capricious/arbitrary, certainly subjective and subject to manipulation/favoritism.
If the formula is secret, then as open to manipulation as could be. Doesn’t mean that happens…. but how could anyone ever know otherwise unless someone spilled the beans?
Teams’ personnel departments have a much better idea of what the comp system is than we do. They likely have people who gauge it. Remember when we traded a future 3rd and 4th for Carroo, the Dolphins were pretty sure they were going to get at least a 3rd and 4th comp pick and we did. So teams could call foul and investigate any manipulation/favoritism.
I know everyone is suspicious of all things Patriots but if you look at why they get comp picks most years you can see why and there have been years when they got none.
There was a time when teams were suspicious about the Dolphins too, specifically Shula being on the competition committee which I thought was a bit of a reach. It’s not like he could override everyone else and make it better for the Dolphins alone.

MIAMI DOLPHINS
Projected compensatory picks: One in Round 3; one in Round 5.
Key free-agent losses: Ja’Wuan James (Broncos); Cameron Wake (Titans).
Key free-agent additions: Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buccaneers); Eric Rowe (Patriots).
Comp-pick analysis: The Dolphins essentially chose the value of a third-round comp pick over Ja’Wuan James, who left for a hefty contract in Denver. The reasonable contracts given to Ryan Fitzpatrick and Eric Rowe end up cancelling out losses like Frank Gore and Brandon Bolden and allow the Dolphins to maintain what should be a fifth-rounder for the departure of longtime sack man Cameron Wake.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001030378/article/2020-nfl-draft-compensatory-pick-projections-for-every-team
Right, those are projections not a guarantee. Being that we did not sign any major FAs we will receive some comp picks as we are considered to be a team void of quality talent. That’s what the system is all about – to help keep the competition level better through draft compensation after FA losses. But they can only go so far, that’s why a 3rd is the highest pick you can get.
Which is actually at the top of the 4th rd but considered the 3rd.
Kong, top player were my words, meaning all pro/pro bowl, production/stats.
The whole idea of the comp system is to help teams that had their roster stripped of quality talent.
I understand the idea behind the system. I’m just saying if it was a standard formula (even if a complex one), I believe it would be out there. I think D mentioned it above, it could be reverse engineered if the criteria were stable.
But the concept of performance almost certainly isn’t only statistically quantified but rather is likely graded (i.e. a player’s performance is measured and he is given a grade to input into the formula). For players that stats don’t tell the tale, most DT or FB would be prime examples, it has to be a person or people judging ‘this guy is a top player’. Any formula with subjective criteria like that means there is a level of ambiguity.
Most of the criteria I listed in my above posts can be given a numerical value in a formula, but not all.
The market through agents is a big part of it. If a player gets a big contract from a team, isn’t it widely accepted that the player is a top player? So that plays a role in the quality and value which determines losses vs. gains. It’s a lot of variables for sure.
Let’s watch the Jets, they should not receive any compensatory picks in 2020. They were big spenders and I can’t even remember who they lost of any significance.

Piggy 1
How do you compare a QB to an OT to a FS to a RB to a LB to a P when it comes to an equation on overall comp pick value?
Whatever the exact formula….. the lion’s share has to be money made.
I think they do based on the market for those positions and which players get the big contracts vs. the ones who are 2nd or a lesser tier. That’s why it’s unique every year.
Only thing am sure of is that I don’t know. But the money has to play into it more than anything else.
Agreed. The contracts that FA’s sign sets the value. It definitely starts there. That’s where the projections/speculations come from, it’s the other factors that throws us off sometimes.
Bottom line is we have plenty of cap space and a lot of draft capital in 2020. I’m not that concerned about comp picks for the Phins. If a 3rd and 5th comp pick is the key as opposed to three 1’s, two 2’s and a 3rd then we fucked up. LOL

Kinda like Brett, Rhett, Ashley, Cooper, and Grier, Tucker and Taylor.
Listening to some crazy stats on the radio today regarding P Mahomes and the Dolphins
Was something like he has more yards passing on first downs alone than we have total passing yards , basically the same with touchdowns
Some ridiculous stats like this
It suddenly hit me, yes it’s a team sport, yes we liked Rosen enough to pick him up
Bla bla bla
These guys are going after Qb in this draft
They are going to try and grab a ringer if at all possible
Just a thought
Mahomes is great, he’s awesome!!! But he also has a very good cast around him. I’d take him #1 if I was starting a team tomorrow.
Steve Avery pitched really well at times for those Braves too

KC has been 69-31 since Ried took over. He was winning 10, 11, 12 games per year with Smith at QB. Yeah Mahomes is awesome but he came into a very good situation.
Kind of think that that’s the point of Mahomes
Yes they have a great cast around him
Yes they were a playoff team prior to him
But with him, now the team is a contender
And probably for years to come
Wilkins said he didn’t know picking a guy up who’s forward progress had stopped and pulling a WWF suplexe move on him slamming him to the ground was illegal. LOL!

I don’t want a WR in the 1st RD. QB, pass rusher, OL, and if we don’t want a QB, just OL and pass rushers
i like them apples
GO RAYS!
Luck to you!
LOL
The reason Grier seems to miss on some #1s is he only has had 1 per year, the draft is a crap shoot and the odds are not that good on hitting a home run picking late in the 1st like we did with Harris which was a foul ball.
after that and other questionable 1st rounders Grier doesnt seem to look all that great.
fast forward to 2020 with 5 picks in the top 50 or so, he has room to miss and a high probability to hit on multiple home runs.
he’ll look like a genus down the road if he keeps restocking these early picks for future 1s,
and it appears that’s what he’s doing.
Both good games for a dolphins fan to watch
Could be future Dolphins in thatf field
I’m going to the Yankees v twins game Saturday
Cool — nothing like a baseball game. And unlike football….. it is so very much better in person than on TV.
“The 2017 and 2018 teams were two of only five in team history to have a negative point differential in triple digits. The other three? The team’s first two seasons (ever) in 1966 and 1967 and the 1-15 team in 2007.” — both a comment on the Gase tenure and the need to blow it up.
A reason to not blow it up is the teams first quadruple digit point difference🤨
UF pass rusher/lb Jonathan Greenard is a really solid hybid OLB/edge guy. Some of the DTs can really wreck the front of a pocket. Zuniga from UF is probably a mid to upper mid round prospect who is a really good speed rusher. Both OT from Auburn are solid. Auburn has a really good DT prospect, a Wilkins type player. I’d also watch a couple of the WRs and CBs from UF too
I think Jonathan Greencard should switch to politics.😉
Good call, I think Raequan Williams, MSU fits that DT mold you are talking about also.
It’s pretty nuts that Saquon Barkley may play on Sunday, only 2 weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain.
Even if doubt he plays Sunday, young kids heal quick. You ever notice how as you get older “the sore” takes longer to hit? That’s cause your body doesn’t recover as fast.
He may not play, but he’s running and cutting (vid’s on NFL.com). Most people would be using crutches still. And yeah, biggest reason my friends and I don’t play football anymore is recovery is a much longer process than it used to be, lol.
Mikey is so old his soreness will have to be handed down for several generations for his recovery
LOL
Kong, my friends and I played a lot of touch football back in the 90’s on Saturdays after being out until 2-4 in the morning. We’d be sore on Sunday but on Monday we couldn’t walk. LOL
Ahh the good ol’ days. LOL
Also, the reason you don’t recover is that at age 30 one of the chemicals that your body produces that is muscles and tissue repair related begins to really drop off in production. By 40 it’s almost completely done. That’s why most players hit the 30 wall. Only a small number of people carry the production of that chemical later into their lives. It’s one of the almost set your clock by it things about the human body and it’s consistent across a lot of genetically different people, different races, etc.
Yeah blood flow isn’t the same either.
As it turns out I’m not going to the yankee game
My friend who sent me the text invited people, not the actual game, but too watch it at his apt
He just laughed at me when I told him how excited I was to go to yankee stadium…anyway, I’ll be watching the yankee game Saturday evening…
In the old days when people just picked up the phone and talked to each other was so much easier. And yeah that will be on my audition tape to be the next OD. 🙂

First two Fests we played touch football. These days someone brings a football, Mike E grabs it and tries to talk someone into going out on a pattern instead of just tossing it back and forth.
I may be the one running routes…or throwing some.

I have to say after the first 4 games Charles Harris seems to lack just enough of whatever that he just can’t close and make plays in the backfield. He had a good game in week 2 but he disappears all too often. He gives great effort but he struggles to get off blocks by big tackles. A lot of teams liked him in the draft so it’s not like we picked a bad prospect at the time, but he hasn’t panned out to be what he was supposed to be. He’ll have the rest of the season to turn that around but I’m not that optimistic he will.

If there are edge rushers available early I expect us to draft one. That’s a have to have. We targeted both Flowers and Clowney in the offseason. We’re definitely hunting for them.
Mickey Callaway fired. I don’t think he’s the problem, the bullpen blew more than a 42nd street full of hookers. Seemed like the players really liked him
Agreed. The bullpen blew over 20 late inning leads that lead to losses. Cut that in half and we’re in the playoffs. Focus on the bullpen and acquire Mookie Betts and we could be in the world series next year. 🙂
Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen says he’s not trading Noah Syndergaard or Edwin Diaz. So the idea is get them back on their games. They’re both young with top level stuff.
deGrom, Syndergaard, Matz, Stroman and an upgraded bullpen.
Kristina Pink sounds like a porn star name but she’s just a cute (hot) sideline reporter for tonight’s game.

Ghey?
Why do you keep asking me. I’ve told you. Even if I were ghey you wouldn’t have a chance. so just give up already. It’s really pathetic at this point, you are like a love sick puppy or something. Just stop embarrassing yourself.
Lol
I’m using you to get to Chicharrones 😉
Next Year #ROCKPHINTRADYPANTSFORGM has 3 1’s, 2 2’s, 2 3’s
I’m on the Toba bus by the way
Elephant, are you coming to the Fest?
I am so looking forward to that noogie. LOL
Good
You coming to Dog Beach?
If so do you play the keyboards?
I have this Casio piano/organ does 100 different things if anyone can play I’ll bring it
Marimba anyone?
The officials stopped a turnover progress because of why?

I can honestly tell you that I never thought Charles Harris would go in the 1st round. When Goodell called his name for us, I was just about ready to punch my television. Instead, I chose to trust the process… never mind that I was all about Takk McKinley [the 3rd UCLA stud LB to be drafted in consecutive years, after Ant Barr and Eric Kendricks (they became the NEW LB University under Jim Mora, Jr.)].
I agree with you… I’m not optimistic about him right now either… but then again, I never was.
Yeah a lot of fans were lukewarm about Harris but a lot of teams liked him. I’m bummed about him because he has a great attitude and work ethic, but it seems he’s not quite good enough.
Same here. I’ve been rooting for the kid (obviously!), but he just can’t seem to put it all together.
This kid just sees where there is going to be a hole in the future and tuns there. Like intuition.

I think we’ll target one in FA too.
Nkemdiche at DT/DE and Charlton as an Edge could be sleepers. We’ve got some solid interior DL but we need more impact in general from our defensive front. I expect that to be an area we address heavily. The OL too. The trenches will be the biggest focus outside of one of the glorious QBs. LOL
I have NO musical ability Son.
Does anyone know what channel the rams seahawks game is on?
TSN 🤡
I shows as joint NFLN and FOX. Canadian channels takeover the feed and original channels are blacked out.
Fox, Bro!

Son : how many of you into bus ??
Only one of him thank gods

Sadly no. Things are not going to come close to working out. 😦
Things will hopefully line up next year.

With Biadasz blocking for Taylor and Hanson continuing to snap the ball to Herbert there is some continuity there
And Durant may be the best LT in the SEC
Just found out Dish dumped Fox, Damn!
Over the air with antenna
^
That’s the way to do it.
I cut the cord on my cable bill, got a digital antenna to pick up free local and national broadcasts, and Firestick/internet for anything else I want to watch.
not getting it on NFLN either, got some lame highlights on there.

Best QB from that “draft of a lifetime” was picked in the 3rd round.
We got a ball-less scrotum.
Russell Wilson is really good.

I did the same. Firstrowsports is my best friend.
Go Cards!
Amazon Prime video has
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
And 8 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm
Plus I have Hulu live and Netflix. Roku has some free programming as well as some other streaming networks.
I just google nfl streams on reddit. Scroll to the Fins and haven’t had a problem.
They ask me sign in when I do that
That’s weird. I’ve never had that happen. Sometimes I click and it asks to download something and I back out and click a different one and no problem

Let the feeding frenzy begin and the title of this one is from SI. — “What are the odds the Miami Dolphins go 0-16?” Least some bookie decided the answer is more likely not.
——————————-
How likely is it for Miami to go 0-16? According to Sports Betting Dime, the Dolphins odds of going 0-16 are as follows:
Yes +250
No -400
The Redskins are starting Colt McCoy over Haskins this week. Another rumor that a team drafted a QB the HC didn’t want.
At this point maybe it’s the HC…..
Could be. Just a weird situation. The Redskins look pretty bad. They get called for penalties constantly.
Chef Warren wanted you guys to know he is doing smoked prime rib again this year. He apologizes for not trying something new but with the toddler and all figured just best to go with what he knows best.
I’m sure everyone will be so disappointed. LOL
He’s at least disappointed himself. Man does love his food and cooking it.
Good
Fuck cows!
Can’t. Ass too high kick too hard.
Piggy is safe another year
Bacon is for assholes
Phinpup — been a strict no pork rule all along out of respect. Only cooking of a pig at any Fest has been by the Pig himself.
I just saw a woman who is the cross between Lizzie Warren and Amy Klobuchar. Had the Warren haircut and the “I will fucking kill you” face of Klobuchar. Freaky.
I’m taking her pic, I’ll show you guys next week.
Are you going to put that in your ‘Hot Chicks’ folder? LOL
Fuck no, it’s scary dude like frightening
I know, it was a respectful way to make an insulting joke. LOL
Why do the Braves feel they need to wear red jerseys when the Cardinals are known as the red birds? The Braves have a dark blue jersey too.
Jalen Ramsey is a dumbass. Wants to be traded so he proceeds to tank his trade value by claiming a chronic bad back and missing games. They should offer the Jags a 7th for him.
That is pretty damn stupid
Right? And I want a big payday but muh back hurts too much to play. Obviously didn’t go to college for an education.
Didn’t he also use a maternity leave excuse too or do I have him confused with someone else?
Yep
I’ll start. This is for everyone going the Fest next week
Watch the OBJ clone on UCF tonight against Cincinnati- Gabe Davis he even wears the 13.
Your welcome! 😉
