Get used to seeing this, this image is the future of our team. I thank Ryan Fitzpatrick for his dedication and his leadership and the inspiration he provided for our team, the Miami Dolphins. His enjoyment and enthusiasm was infectious. I’m not going to disparage Ryan Fitzpatrick in order to make it clear why Tua should be starting. If we can look at things and detach ourselves from Ryan Fitzpatrick the person, you can realize that it’s been the defense and its improvement that has changed the fortune of the team, not the play of the QB. Fitz is pretty up and down and while he’s having a good season, don’t be lulled into thinking it was great. Now the team is finally scoring over 25 PPG but in this NFL, decent teams do that. The main reason we’re now 3-3 is because our defense is allowing only 18.8 PPG, good for 4th in the NFL.
Before the 2020 NFL draft, and before the injury to Tua Tagovailoa, Tua was considered the most pro ready NFL prospect and possibly the most talented. Yes, Joe Burrow had one epic season but Tua had been doing it for longer, getting better each season while starting a high floor to begin with. I think the plan was to use the BYE week to give Tua the maximum amount of time to get reps in practice. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, the NFL was forced to reschedule a few games which led to a change in our BYE week from Week 11 to Week 7. Without any preseason games for Tua to get ready and get some action, this is the next best opportunity and the fact that it presented itself 4 weeks earlier is unfortunate for Ryan Fitzpatrick but hopefully ends up being better for our team.
We got a glimpse this past Sunday of Tua, 2 pass attempts, 2 completions for a total of 9 yards and he converted a 3rd down, the ONLY 3rd down conversion of the day for the Miami Dolphins. We can do better folks, we really can. That’s not a knock on Fitzpatrick but if we can’t convert any 3rd downs against the Jets, how can we do it against better teams? I feel like Mike Gesicki has once again become totally underutilized. He IS that TE we’ve been waiting for, we need to use him. The O-line has been getting the job done, even with the necessitated switch of Jesse Davis to LT and Robert Hunt to RT. I know many are worried now as to whether Hunt can protect Tua’s blind side but the coaches are aware and will work around it. Tua can move and he will get rid of the ball quickly. Myles Gaskin has carried the load and the load continues to progressively increase. This is good. We haven’t had that kind of consistency with a RB since Jay Ajayi was here. Thankfully Adam Gase isn’t here anymore so Gaskin is safe.
Look to the future, both immediate and distant and be happy #1 is now our QB. Be excited! Let yourself feel the energy of having an elite talent at QB. This is what you have waited for so don’t be shy, nervous or otherwise, embrace it! This is a great time for our team, you can see that things are coming together, and we’re in year 1 of the rebuild after the tear down. The defense we were complaining about earlier in the season is playing as well or better than we all hoped they would at this juncture. Be excited! This is what we live for as Dolphins fans so don’t squander it with “What ifs” and “How come now”, just be freaking elated that we’re just a game out from being atop our division and our best football is yet to come! Oh, and be excited that the Bi Week Babe is coming to a blog near you very soon, as early as this weekend!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Rocko – There are videos of Joe Biden saying that he doesn’t want black kids bused into his kids schools because it will make them a racial jungle. There’s video of him lying about the school he went to and that he wasn’t in the top 1/3, he was in the bottom 1/3, and calling him out on this was Sam Donaldson and his ABC cohorts. There’s video of him lying about being arrested with Nelson Mandela when he was never actually with Mandela. Does anyone give a fuck? DO YOU??? Of course you don’t so stick your holier than thou shit back in yer ass! Joe is just as much as a lying POS as Trump is and I can admit that Trump lies, but all my Democrat friends think Biden’s clean as whistle. He’s a career politician, which translates into a career liar, he never stops lying. He’s Trump with a slightly better grasp of what he has to do to make his perception better but I think in some ways he’s dumber and doesn’t even realize when he’s not making his perception better.
Yeah, you lost me there You are fully indoctrinated. Congrats
Where did I lose you? I’ll be happy to splain it to you if you care
Are we supposed to just believe that your retort somehow happened to get the well-timed page turn? Freakin’ admins abusing their powers…I want a recount! 😉

It is something we agree on. I am just tired of the shame I feel every day because of that buffoon. I am ashamed of him being president.
I was brought up like I would think the majority on here were to try and be a good person.
Don’t lie. Don’t cheat. Don’t be unfaithful. Do be a bully or abide bullies. Be respectful of others. Be modest. Be polite. Work hard. Be generous. Help the less fortunate. Don’t judge others by their appearance; Don’t be a biggot. Don’t discriminate against others who are different than me.
Everyone one of these beliefs is thrown in the trash daily by the putrid piece of human excrement a certain mislead segment of our population wants to celebrate
It is shameful and I am ashamed of you.
You can save some of your shame when you proudly vote for Biden/Cameltoe. You’ll need it!
He can’t vote.
I agree with everything you said right up until the line of “I am ashamed of you” because I am not sure who that is in reference to. As I read it it seems to be in reference to Mike E but I don’t think that is what you meant
I read that as ‘in general’, as in speaking to the camera, not directly at Mike. I could be wrong.
Yeah, this was not a personal attach against Mike E. I apologize if it comes across that way. I am ashamed that Trump has been normalized and I DO let it color my opinions of people around me.
You cannot shovel shit all day and not get shit on you. One shouldn’t be allowed to excuse despicable behavior and pretend it doesn’t say something about oneself. Just my opinion.
I think I mostly read it that way because I also have a tendency to write grandiose at times and often speak to ‘the people’ lol
Just to further clarify I would never find shame on someone who holds a different political belief than me. That is everyone’s right to hold their own political beliefs. I disagree with Mike E about his politics but I respect him immensely as a person.
Thanks Ken, same here sir! I can very easily separate politics from the person I care about.
👍
It’s Pollyanna to think that other countries will follow our lead.
We should continue to work towards clean energy, but not by throwing out what we have before we have a solution.
Reply
Phelon, absolutely agree.
Here is the real question for you. Would you rather your tax dollars go to research and develop new technologies and increase the efficiency of existing technologies (our power grid is antiquated, wasteful and vulnerable to attack) or would you rather it go to propping up the profits of the oil companies stock holders? We subsidize one of the most profitable industries in the world as party policy right now and have for decades.
which is better?
We have done it under the guise of national security,but in reality the policy of continued dependence on oil is against our national security. it would be much better for the US if we were energy diversified. We will never be off of oil. As Wyoming pointed out above oil is used in everything and is needed. We just shouldn’t be as energy dependent upon it and other fossil fuels
Easy Rock!
If you can’t play nice, Don’t get in the sandbox!
You can be ashamed of Mike E all you want!
But you aught to read you own post better!
Holy cow. Ok. Time to watch football! Have a good day, fellas.
Kong – That was something! I’ve been calculating that all morning!
Curses! lol
LOL @ Clean as whistle – I cry Russian collusion!
Interesting reads on clean energy.
Historically, our success and rise as the leading economic power in the world has always been attached to the fact that we were always the leader of the primary energy supply.
Prior to steam and the need for a more efficient burn with coal, the primary fuel source was wood.
We have the largest untapped supply of forests (at that time).
When steam required the burn provided by coal, we also had the leading supply of coal in the world.
Then oil … which we were the leading producer until late 1960’s-early 1970’s. Texas was “Saudi Arabia” lol.
Since the 1970’s, despite increased demand, we have not been the leading producer of the world’s energy supply for the first time.
I’ve always felt that if oil companies used their vast profits to expand INTO the clean energy market, this would probably have happened by now. They could build and own the infrastructure, they already have the brand recognition, and they would solidify themselves in the energy space in a way that they would benefit from a transition to clean energy (at any pace).
Figuring out how to make sure the U.S, is the leader of this energy would be a boon to our economy much as wood, coal, and oil were. The problem is, oil companies chose a defensive position… they chose the strategy of the cigarette companies. It can still be done, but the large oil companies need to willingly get involved, profitably. Otherwise we’ll be arguing about this until the Dolphins need to move to a city with higher ground. lol
What an awesome post. I’m not worried about being the world’s leader in anything energy though….. just taking care of our own needs in a clean way. But guess as we do that we could become the world’s leader in clean energy tech. That wouldn’t be so bad.
I blame Daniel Plainview!
😀
Good post 🦏
Biden calls us “chumps”
Hillary calls us “deplorable”
Obama called us “clingers to our God and our guns”
Rockphin calls us Despicable
Trump calls us “Americans”
Man, if the shoe fits wear it I guess. Damn be proud of it. SMH
I didn’t call you despicable I called many of the ass-clowns actions and comments despicable and I said it is shameful to indiscriminately defend him being despicable
So I think he’s very petty!
But I like his policy!
Does that still make me despicable?
Because that’ may me the most polite derogatory I’ve been accused of! 😉
Piggy,
Never heard of or been to either. I see your accidental wrong place reply, and I raise you with an on purpose wrong place reply of my own. Your bet.
I’m in Georgia right now
Anyone know Jacobs island or Jeckly island?
Not suppose to be a reply
My time in GA was in the NE, not the coast!
NW sorry
And Stanger calls you “good dude.”
More to life than politics.
Wy
Trump calls you anything he can to get your vote
Piggy calls you “foolish“ for not seeing that
I dont really think Biden has said anything derogatory about trump supporters, most of his insults are directed at Trump
He just did that today!
They were being assholes by the way!
I missed it
Without knowing anything, My guess is he wasn’t talking broadly about trump supporters or conservatives
My niece, who lives in Atlanta, was supposed to get married in March
But covid happened and everything was cancelled
She got married anyway in May (eloped in her own words)
But this weekend we are having a reception replacement – basically a dinner and party
It’s a nice town, it’s a little bit marshy and humid for my taste but it’s nice
Here ya go Piggy
LOL, that qualifies as “completely lost it”. Dramamuch.
And he called those particular people chumps, not all Trump supporters. I thought you said you weren’t sensitive… 😉
The whole dramamuch thing wasn’t directed at you, rather it was at the twitter guy.
I’m guessing you don’t disagree that he’s not directing anything at you right?
Is that a triple negative?
For my next trick I’m going for the Triple Lundy
LOL
I watched that same speech live this morning and never caught a thing. In the context of the drive-in rally the more honks the more the folks there liked Biden. Those guys might want to re-think their political protest approach.
you wont see that at a trump rally
biden works just as hard for chumps
LOL at Michael Thomas trade rumors. Pretty much nobody is as dumb as Bill O’Brien, so I’m pretty sure the Saints #1 receiver, and most people’s top receiver in the league, is not going anywhere.
Jack Posobiec has me blocked on twitter btw
You might say he “lost it”….lol
I don’t know if any of you have ever played red dead redemption 2 but this part of GA reminds me of Lemoyne

stanger, can we have a trump fest after the election?
You think people will fly in?
i know a few
I’ll help you run the Trump Fest if you can set up the guest list. But who do you figure would fly to FL for a T rump win party?
guest of honor would be Rockphin of course
So then you are just joking….. cool enough.
maybe we can get Randy and Cav to fly in also
Maybe you can ORob. You are the one who wants a Trump Fest after all and you’ve never made a game with us.
the next fest i will join all the activities, i’ll get a place on the beach for the weekend, promise.
My sweet little miniature poodle Shadow (and she does follow me around) got bad news from the vet. Her kidneys are failing. According to him only a matter of time even if she still doesn’t seem that too bad Wish people were more like dogs.
my friends cat had the same issue, he had to inject fluid in him, in his back, it helped for a while.
I’ve tried to stay out of this discussion going on but now I’m not. Call it lying, embellishing, stretching the truth. I think they’ve both done it. What has always stuck with me about Biden, he lied about the accident that killed his wife and daughter. He has claimed through the years they were killed by a drunk driver. Definitely gets your sympathy going doesn’t it? But it’s not true, accounts are the driver hadn’t been drinking, wasn’t charged with anything and in fact had tried to stop to avoid hitting them when they pulled into his path. Yet Biden has told this story during campaign events over the years to get votes. Not sure how much lower you can go.
I have no idea who will win this thing, truth is no matter what we are all going to lose. Trump is an asshole, no doubt. But why couldn’t the Democrats come up with anyone better to run against him? Good grief! The bar is pretty low here. Yet here we are, once again trying to decide the lesser of the two evils.
I think the democrats chose biden bc he’s pretty moderate, sometimes I think he’s a republican
And the idea was to flip moderates against republicans who had issues with Trump against trump
Democrats were excited about a lot of other candidates, Biden, no so much
I don’t love him
But I’ll take him any day of the week over trump
Your last paragraph has been my ongoing refrain since the primaries. We need an actual viable candidate. The dems had 4 f^cking years and this is what they came up with? We need something other than a douche and a turd. South Park has been on this since the late 90’s lol.
That’s what I always ask Dems. Why did you get the biggest liar out of all of them? A guy known for plagiarizing and who hasn’t accomplished much in a 47 year career? Of course, I told Republicans the same thing with Romney. He traded away Americans jobs faster than Martha Stewart unloads bad stock but he was the answer as President? No thank you.
Piggy,
Which town? My wife loves to visit GA and it’s grown on me but my earliest memories of it were of heat and swamp stench.
I think it’s just called Jacobs Island
Never been there. I’ll have to tell the missus.

No, but it does make me sad that we have come to forgiving douchebaggary and allowing it to become the norm for corporate welfare.
Cooperate welfare?
I’m probably the only “Blu Collar” MF on this blog!
WTF does Cooperate anything have to do with me?
OK I’m done with this!
i;ll take a douche over a traitor any day!
If I knew Biden was an actual traitor, I’d agree. But the things he did is no different than Trump using hundreds of millions as leverage to gain dirt on his political opponent IMO. They are both garbage.
that is alleged, they never proved Trump did that, there is real proof Biden is selling us out to the chinese, see bobbalinsky and the hunter biden hard drive.
1.5 billion to biden from china
Yes, no smoking gun, just overwhelming amounts of circumstantial evidence. It doesn’t matter, even if there was a smoking gun, there would then be an attempt to justify it somehow. Anyway, not even the point. There is nothing that can come out that will impact the way you feel about Trump, nor mine.
The whole game is diminish what your guy did while ramping up the rhetoric on the opponent. Nothing new here.
And yeah, I believe Biden is in China’s pocket. You don’t have to convince me.
then wouldn’t that define biden as a traitor?
I think on that level, this stuff is happening all the time. I think Trump is in Russia’s pocket, and I think all our high level politicians are leveraged in some way. It’s inevitable. One of the differences between us, is I don’t think Trump is some innocent ‘non-politician’ who is just fighting for what is right. He is a dirty, self-serving guy, just like the others. He just sounds different.
I don’t see that? he doesn’t even get paid to be pres, all these allegations without a shred of proof, give me something on trump that’s tangible, that has to do with running our country, then i would listen.
all i hear is unsubstantiated accusations, can you imagine being on the receiving end of what Trump has went thru the last 4 years?
The reason the hard left is anti trump is his policies hurt their wallet. so they attack him at every turn. they take him out of context,
their agenda is very clear.
lie, cheat and steal, do whatever you have to do to get your way!
An overwhelming of bullshit to be frank
Yes you have made it plane over the years that you celebrate Douchebaggary. We know We know!
why are you always full of disparaging remarks? can you try to rephrase your replies when you disagree so we can have an intelligent conversation?
I laughed the other night, one of the reporters said it was false that Biden had received $$ from any of these alleged things we’re hearing about because he had released his tax returns and nothing like that on there. As if you’d be putting that on your return if you did it! Just total stupidity. Yet people will believe it. I have no idea if it’s true or not but his tax return isn’t proof of anything.
I genuinely hold no ill will towards anyone here. I’d come in for a fest, even if Trump wins, which I think he will, lol. I am perfectly capable of separating the politics. Plus I need to get out there and whip Rob in pool. 😉
I’ll let Mike E take care of my light work!
LOL, we’ll make it happen one of these days, bro.
I’m getting the stink eye. Time to head out and pick our new dining room table. I’ll be back. Nothing better than a whole Saturday spent arguing about which guy is a bigger douche, LMAO.
He’s a fucking SHIT SANDWICH
Hardcore conservatives are voting Trump/Republicans. Hardcore Progressives are voting Biden/Democrats. Then you have people who can go one way or the other at different times who are going to vote against the party they think is most dangerous. This election really isn’t about the candidates as much as is it about overall ideology. That’s how I see it.
Kong,
As if your opinion actually matters when it comes to buying a new dining room table. Live in the now, man! Lol
I’d say he’s just there to load it!

Randy
Are your boys going to get beat by Purdue?
And they get an INT while I’m typing!!!!!!!!!!
ORob,
Seriously? Read the evidence. Everything that Trump was accused of in the impeachment process was proven to be true. If Republican senators weren’t such spineless sheep, he’d have been impeached by a landslide. Because you refuse to believe the proof doesn’t mean it’s not true. He did withhold aid that had been legally approved to try to curry favor from a foreign government to affect our elections. The dumb fuck even admitted it but even THAT didn’t get republicans to vote against him. Lol
I watched every eye gouging minute of the impeachment!
In the House, and the Senate,
They didn’t prove shit!
the witnesses just didn’t think it was right.
Not their call though!
On CSPAN by the way!
Without someone telling me what I’m supposed to think!
it was a hard left circus, that’s when i had realized their true colors.
if that had been proven he wouldn’t be pres

_____________________________________________
statements like this is exactly what i was referring to, you have drawn a conclusion due to a phone call that you have proved Trump was guilty.
he withheld the funds because that’s standard practice. he also released them before all that stuff became an issue.
you have no proof of wrong doing yet you still claim it to be true, a tactic used by the left every day. put yourself on the other end, i’m sure if someone accused you of doing wrong and you didn’t you would be furious.
so before you make statements like that please bring the proof.
proof, you know…like a hard drive, 3 phones and a witness
Wyoming,
It was pretty clear to me what happened. Direct testimony isn’t proof? Trump’s own words isn’t proof? We’ll have to disagree on this one. Back to football! Lol
and randy let’s not forget about the steele dossier, the illegal warrants obtained by the DNC, the persecution of Paige all done and paid for by the DNC!
i could go on, i’m surprised you can’t see thru the left, they are very transparent
those are the real crooks
ORob,
Multiple individuals testified that withholding the funds was absolutely NOT standard practice and was actually the opposite. AND, several people also testified that there was absolutely no explanation given as to why the funds were actually being withheld. Obama had withheld funds before for very specific reasons and had informed everyone of why he was doing so which is standard practice. Trump did not go through the standard process for withholding the funds. He did not inform the appropriate people of what he was doing and why. He subverted it….just as he always tries to do.
ORob,
Just because you choose not to believe the evidence doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Lol
Randy
I think it was the same as the Transfer process for Trump.
If he was a politician he would have fired all these folks ( Like Obama did ) and put in his own staff!
His own staff doesn’t blow whistles! They would tell him he was going out of normal procedures!
JMHO After watching everything.
Rock – I wouldn’t’mind for.a minute if the government quit using my tax dollar to subsidize any industry. Especially ones making record profits year after year like big oil and the insurance industry. If they could make more money by figuring out clean energy they would figure it out in a heartbeat.
I would also like federal government out of the education system. Shoot, I.would like them to quit using my tax dollars for anything other than National defense and infrastructure.
And international trade controls.
Wyoming,
Trump doesn’t listen to his advisors. He tells them what to do and expects them to obey, or he finds a way to discredit or fire them. More of his underlings have quit or been fired under his leadership than any other President…..and it’s not even close. People were purposely being told to hold up the money….which they did….but nobody was being told why. Why would that be?
Obama replace all of the Bush staff!
As most presidents do!
Trump just wasn’t smart enough to do it up front!
To answer you question
Because the new government hadn’t been vetted good enough! It’s hat simple!
Randy, here’s the conversation, please point out your evidence so i can get Joe & Camel..a on the phone, i’m sure they would like to know.

i dont see anywhere in the comments that trump is going to withhold funds if ukraine doesnt investigate biden so where’s your proof.
also Trump hit the target with Biden because as of now there seems to be overwhelming proof of trumps fears when he made this call.
ORob,
What does that little snippet have to do with anything? Do you actually think that little conversation was the only conversation that was taking place either by Trump or his toadies? The Ukrainian President said he felt pressure to say specific things in a speech that would disparage or negatively impact Biden’s political chances to appease Trump’s wishes. If nobody connected with Trump was pressuring him to do so on Trump’s behalf why would he feel that pressure? Is it sad when a foreign leader has more concern for doing what’s right for our Country than our own President? I’m done. I should’ve known better. Lol
There wasn’t any proof af anything in direct testimony!
I watched it!
Orob just posted the call.
I don’t read a Quid-Pro-Joe in there? 😉
Wyoming,
No, it had very little to do with the transition from one President to another. Many were people Trump hired or not political appointees. It’s all out there to read but I don’t blame you if you don’t. It’s boring as hell. Lol
The 2 main ones were hold overs, as far as I can remember
that’s exactly what they impeached him on, don’t you remember the phrase they kept barking?
“I would like you to do us a favor” quid pro quo ring a bell? tit for tat????
i’m done as well, you should go back and read what you write, you’re making off the wall statements, allegations that you have no proof.
in fact it has been proven otherwise.
no sense in continuing
I watched it all too. Not only that I actually researched it as much as I could online. I was sickened. The only reason he wasn’t found guilty is that the Republicans had the power to prevent it. To each their own. I’m really hoping I won’t ever have to talk about Trump ever again in a week or two! Lol
Iowa needs to hurry up and win!
Wyoming is on in15 Minutes!!!!!!
Ouch!!!!!
The Government Accountability Office even said that Trump broke the law by withholding the funds….and it wasn’t even the only time he did it. Trump, of course, disagreed because what’s good for him is good for the Country, so he can do whatever he wants as long as he feels it’s in his best interest. I mean come the fuck on! Lol

I actually wasn’t expecting much from Iowa this year. Sorry your QB went down. Does Fitz still have any college eligibility? I hear he’s available. Lol
Our red shirt Freshman isn’t horrible!
Congrats BBM
I see the Norwegians are once again avoiding scrutiny on this board.
Nothing wrong with whale blubber!
I have been neglecting my role in the fight to end Norwegian perfidy.
Solidarity, Brother!
🤣
Kong,
True story. When I was married my wife decided our bedroom set was old and worn out…and we needed a new set. I thought our old set was just fine, but I’m a man and as such possess very little intelligence. We went 2 hours away to look at stuff. I didn’t understand that, but I understood my role. After 2 trips to the big city to look at said furniture, we purchased a new set of bedroom furniture. The mattress alone was $1600. I didn’t particularly like the idea and quietly submitted my thoughts on the matter. It’s still unclear to me whether or not my words were even heard or recognized. Needless to say, said furniture was purchased.
***
After about 3 months the mattress was sloping inward noticeably. I suggested we address it with the company. My wife felt otherwise. So, 6 moths later as I have to tether myself to the wall to keep from rolling down the escarpment and most likely being happy Obama care is there to put the pieces back together…..after suggesting to my wife, again, that there seemed to be a problem with the bed, she agreed that something may be off with the mattress. Always happy to be of service, I was overjoyed to be told that the job of contacting the company having them come and look at the mattress and everything that went along with that process would be my complete pleasure to undertake.
****
You might think that was the bright spot of this bucolic diatribe…but oh no dear reader! After arranging, attending and arguing on 2 separate meetings with company reps who assured me the mattress was within: “acceptable wear” condition after less than 1 year. We were able to maintain possession of said acceptable mattress.
***
And yet…there’s more! I shit you not! 2 years later as the divorce process was in full swing, and we were “discussing” the divying up of property, I was told that the old set of furniture, which we’d kept and put in a spare bedroom, would be staying in the house. The new…acceptable…mattress could leave with me along with a couple of the 5 dressers that we’d bought with it. When I pointed out that I would be living in an apartment while she remained in the 4 bedroom house and the older, smaller bedroom set would work better for me, I was not shocked to hear that simply wouldn’t be possible as the mattress was….acceptable.
***
So hey…..it’s about the little wins! 🙂
LOL, great story.
Based on the way you told that tale, I’d say we have a lot more in common than I have previously believed, lol.
Ah yes those were fun days .. I remember my split , we actually got into it over a 10.00 garage sale lamp lol
Wow!
That was a quadruple doink!! Not even a Bears kicker (Parkey) can do that!
LOL, that is pretty amazing. Could you imagine if we missed a game winning kick in that fashion? Would it be possible to have more than one heart attack in a 2 second span? lol
Wyoming, you were wondering about no bail system. It won’t be as affective as the cash bail system. It will put an overburden on law enforcement officials who they want to defund already. Here on the panhandle they have experimented with a no bail system (Pretrial Release) for certain misdemeanors, mainly M/J possession and Driving on Suspended License. The failure to appear rate for all defendants who are released on their own recognizance(ROR) or on Pretrial Release(PTR) is over 18%. For those on bond with a bondsman the rate is less than 3% (ours has never been above 1% for our company). It has already put great stress on the Warrants Division for our local Sheriff department and significantly increased their operating expense. Biden/Harris say they want to do it, but don’t have a real plan like a bunch of other crap they talk about but don’t seem to have a plan.
Like you talked about earlier. You have to be able to adjust your business. We are going all in on being a private provider for GPS, House Arrest, Alcohol, and Portable Breath Monitors as well as Drug Screening Patches. The County Pretrial Release Office already can’t handle their current workload and is outsourcing to us all ready.
So defund actually means to subcontract it out???????
In a way, but they make the defendant pay for it. Also, you don’t have a third party that is responsible for making sure they show up in court. They predict failure to appear rates would be close to 25% which will increase workload and budget requirements for local Sheriff departments.
I hope this game stays close just to have a good game in the WS.

M – The Ravens playoff game was a different story, I didn’t like them back then but didn’t hate them. In 2014 we were 7-5 and the Ravens beat us 28-13. In 2016 we were 7-4 and the Ravens spanked us 38-16. In 2017 we were 4-2 and the Ravens spanked us 40-0. They didn’t just beat us that year they humiliated us. I friggin hate ’em M, that’s all there is to it!
————–
LOL, it’s all good, Mike E… and I don’t blame you in the least. After the way Mike Shanadouche treated Chris Chambers (got knocked the fug out back in the day against the Broncos), ANY team that Shanadouche coached drew my ire.
I completely understand, man. We’re seeing eye-to-eye!
What are these Norwegians that are spoke of? 😉
I hear they like Spam
I like Spam…..
Randy, for you, bud…
Again [and as I tried to express last night (“not going to happen”)], I don’t think we Phins want him. I think we’re happy with what we’ve got going at Safety.
I was just wondering… would YOU be interested in making this trade? He is a BALLHAWK, afterall. ME (I?), would play footsie with the Vikes for Harris… but I really don’t think our management will even sniff his way.
And yes, Randy… I AM way more interested in Danielle Hunter.
For OD: your FAU team gave me a scare today, they gave the Herd a game today. I was concerned!
THANKS, HERD. But the brutal truth is this: FAU has a mediocre to bad head coach; they have too many injuries; they lost BOTH of their starting offensive tackles; and they lost their top 2 running backs yesterday. It’s gonna be a losing season which ends in the firing of the head coach followed by a major rebuilding job. In ONE SEASON, FAU has gone from the 27th ranked position in the AP poll to a team near the bottom of its conference.—Maybe Lane Kiffin will get fired at Ole Miss and return to FAU??–Probably NOT.
I don’t see us making big trades.
Bbm
Waddle is out for the year
We got a great game tonight.
Dodgers looked indomitable all night but the Rays just kept staying in it. Then the Rays took it with 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th. Dodgers were a strike away from taking a 3-1 lead, but now it’s a new series, best of 3.
I really hate our bye weeks, lol. I have to decide which two morning games to watch. Pitt/Tenn is the premier game, so that’ll be one. And I’m thinking Packers/Texans might be a fun one since we have skin in that game and the Texans should lose falling to 1-6.
LMAO!!!
LOL, that was great
Fyi….

Hope this isn’t a repeat. Thought it was interesting:
https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-ranking-of-veteran-offseason-acquisitions-in-terms-of-early-impact
For the first time in a long time, I think the FA acquisitions were mostly spot on, i.e. the team is better on O, D, and ST. Impressive, imo.
2020 the year that just keeps on giving! 😦
Perfect time for an eye roll or head slap smiley face.
You think that’s funny?
I’m sure D, and BBM aren’t laughing!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a “Not again, this shit is getting old” frustration thought. Empathetic expression for the Gulf residents, in general.
And, a poke fun at you at your use of smiley faces.
How is that for truth?
Better than my first thoughts!
My apologies!
Glad I could clarify, thanks.
I WAS TOTALLY EXHAUSTED after watching what I believe was the GREATEST WORLD SERIES GAME OF ALL TIME!!! And the ending was too corny EVEN FOR HOLLYWOOD TO PRODUCE!!
————————
HOW IRONIC that Hollywood’s Darlings, the Los Angeles Dodgers, WERE THE VICTIMS OF THIS UTTERLY CRAZY, MIND-BOGGLING FINISH, TO THIS MOST MEMORABLE GAME OF ALL TIME!! No one on the planet had heard of this guy Phillips who got the game winning hit. Even most Rays fans had not heard of this guy (who had not had a hit in OVER A MONTH!!) And how about AROZARENA, who was an obscure player in MEXICO not too long ago??? AROZARENA has become, in so many ways, THE NEXT ROY HOBBS!!!!! EXCEPT HE’S THE REAL DEAL, NOT THE CREATION OF A HOLLYWOOD FILM MOGUL!!
———————
This Rays franchise is almost universally panned, even in their own home city where “crowds” of 4,000-6,000 are the norm. Almost NOBODY CARES FOR THEM!! Why go see the Rays when you can see A REAL MAJOR LEAGUE FRANCHISE THAT SELLS OUT EVERY GAME (THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING)??? And how can the RAYS DO THIS with a total payroll that’s lower than ONE PLAYER makes yearly for the Yankees (Stanton)?????
——————–
I have no idea who is going to win this World Series. But if the Pirates team of 1961 can beat the Mighty New York Yankees of 1961 (Maris, 61 Homers, Mantle 54 homers, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, etc., etc.) than surely this RAYS TEAM HAS A CHANCE!!
——————-
AS OF RIGHT NOW, last night’s game ranks as THE GREATEST WORLD SERIES GAME I’VE EVER WATCHED IN MY 67 YEARS OF WATCHING THE WORLD SERIES!!! I’d put it right up there with “THE MIRACLE ON ICE” AND THE ONE, THE ONLY, PERFECT SEASON!! – – I’m SO GLAD I LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO SEE IT!!
RIP Jerry
Rooting for the Jets? Yuck!
Have to root for Jets. Keep Gase, loose the first pick and weaken the Bills. It would be a trifecta
I know, just leaves a sour taste. Or, skunky odor….lol.
Sorry about all the Dolphin articles, but here is another one:
https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-five-biggest-questions-at-the-bye
You better be sorry! I thought this was a “Fuck you! No, Fuck You!” politic board. lol 😉
Lol…that’s why it’s better for me to just watch sometimes.
Mostly, great discussions yesterday. Ku
Found myself agreeing with pp on special interests and taxes. There was a great discussion on energy and forward thinking views as a global human process. Rhino is on to something. Smart man.
Translatable/transferrable skills are key to survival, imo, and will allow evolution on every level, be it physical, financial, economic, etc. Almost what we’re doing with the Dolphins.
See how I did that?
^Kudos!

Highest average depth of completion by WRs:
1. D.K. Metcalf – 17.5
2. Preston Williams – 16.4
3. Michael Gallup – 16.2
4. Mike Williams – 14.6
5. Darius Slayton – 13.6
Surprised just a little it’s not Parker but, based on last season, I think teams are game planning to shut Parker down and has opened things up for Williams.
Wonder what the ranking is for TE. Gesicki has like 15.6. He would be #4 on that list.
Parker hasn’t been able to get deep the last few weeks with his hamstring injury. That’s the difference, he was doing it early on in the season before the hammy
Good Morning Dolphins fans! GAMEDAY BITCHES!!! Oh sheet, BYE week, go back to sleep!
Talk about election rigging . . . I cast my vote along with my wife and son last week, We all got notification that our ballots were received. Except, the one guy who votes for Trump gets an additional notice that my signature doesn’t match the signature they have on file so I have to send back this form with my drivers license #, my signature, a video of me eclipsing a 4.4 40 yard dash, $10,000 in unmarked bills and 2 gallons of my O negative blood. lol
Lol…now you know how it feels.
The first part was true, I really did get that notice along with a “Cure form” which has to include my drivers license and my signature. I thought it was pretty funny, not necessarily voter fraud. Now if my “Cure Form” doesn’t work I may feel otherwise.
I was laughing with you, Mike E.
In ATX, they indicated you would only be notified if there was a problem, I think.
I got a receipt at the booth for casting my ballot. I was more concerned about getting the receipt than taking the finger rubber off and almost walked out with it. Lol.
I don’t know what you mean Mike, nothing to see here.
In LV thev’ve lowered the signature check down to its lowest setting, and as a result only 1% have been rejected. Again nothing to see there.
If they really wanted to do it fairly, like they’ve done it the past the setting would be 80 or 90%.
JT O Sullivan has a breakdown video of Tua’s 2 passes against the jets. He said both pass plays where they blitzed were shit moves, but you have to consider the opponent. They were trying to show up Tua.
He said, no one calls a 2 man blitz at the end of a 24-0 game. Gregg Williams is a douchebag.
“PHEW!!” STILL trying to process the finish of last night’s 4th game of the World Series. Come to think of it, it was EARLY THIS MORNING when the game actually ended, a bit after midnight!! –THOSE of you interested in my post game comments may want to check my post about 8-9 spots up the page at 9:06 AM. ONLY a handful of local Rays fans know a thing about hero Brett Phillips, who was obtained by the Rays from the Brewers this season. He’s a graduate of a local Clearwater high school and, until now, has had a less than impressive baseball career. His last hit was about a month ago during the regular season.
THIS HIT will go down in World Series history!
Jamison Crowder OUT against the Bills, not good
My vote for Bye Week Babe
KEN, KRISHNA, Etc.; I, too, have a VERY tough time rooting for the scumbag Jets under ANY situation!! – – But this IS one of those rare occasions when I’ll root for them. I think it’s an “impossible dream” situation. But, as Al Michael’s might say, “This impossible dream HAS COME TRUE!”
————
ALL the Fins have to do is get into the playoffs to be a factor. IF MIAMI does make it, they”ll have to be a better team than they were under Fitzpatrick. And, if TUA plays up to my expectations AND we avoid big injuries, this team WILL BE BETTER, perhaps A LOT BETTER!!! SO-O-O, even if the Bills win vs. the Jets, Miami will STILL have a chance at playoff success for the FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF Ross’s ownership!!
———–
It’s about time, eh??
I disagree, OD.
It’s about fucking time!
LOL @ Krishna – rubber finger!
Hey, Mikey; NICE CHOICE for Bi-Babe (or is it “bye” Babe?).
Rooting for these teams today;
Go Jets (erp, erp yack)
Go Green Bay!
Go Raiders! (I just still hate Brady)
Go San Fran! (Give the Pats an L plus us a better H2H record)
Go Cincy! (Push the Browns down the standings)
Go Tenn end the Stealers undefeated run.
After the debate the #1 search engine search was “can I change my vote” and Pennsylvania was leading the way.
Steve; Caught your comments about Jets coach Gregg Williams being a douche bag. I hope “FLO” has a long memory when we play the Jets later this season.
—————–
I ONCE HEARD Jerry Kramer say during an interview that his coach, Vince Lombardi, once got even with a defensive coordinator from an opposing team who was telling his players to deliberately injure a couple of Packers’ players during a pre-season game. Kramer says Lombardi called an end sweep toward the opposing team’s sideline. He said, I’ve got a $100 bill for the guy from our team who “accidentally” runs over that coach at the end of the sweep. Sure enough, a Packers’ lineman knocked that coach halfway to kingdom come on the next play. The interviewer asked Kramer, “Was that lineman who hit that coach YOU???”
Kramer responded, “I’m not sure. Maybe I did catch a piece of him.”
Wasn’t Greg Williams kicked out of league for putting bounties on players?
Guess he’s pretty much the same cat and can’t lose his spots.
Payback’s a bitch, sometimes…lol.
Yes, Krishna, he’s the SAME Greg Williams.
Hey, Greg, let me introduce you to Mr. Kindley.”
Maybe next time a sweep where we Hunt and Kindly Jack(son) him!
You know there’s a way to verify that and according to google – that’s not even on the radar
