The roster has been trimmed to the 53 man roster and our team is ready to begin the 2021 NFL season, it’s longest season ever, 17 games. The Dolphins head to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough to face off against their long time division rival New England Patriots. Bill Belichick always has a surprise and this season it was cutting then starting QB Cam Newton to make way for the newly drafted QB of the future, Mac Jones. By doing so, Belichick has now enabled a division of fine young QB’s, most drafted within the first 10 picks of their respective drafts, except Jones who fell to #15. Josh Allen, the elder at 25 (Pick #7), Tua Tagovailoa next at 23 (Pick #5), Mac Jones who just turns 23 today (Pick #15) and the baby of the group, Zach Wilson who is 22 (Pick #2). This should make the AFC East a competitive division for some time.
On to the Dolphins roster. We speculated for months as to how it would shake it and we all got it mostly right, but there are always surprises. The first bomb was LB Benardrick McKinney getting released. I’d say the second biggest surprise to me was WR Lynn Bowden going on IR and out for the season. It was a good move which allows us to stash him for another season, but it also makes you wonder if the kid has it or not. Next year will almost surely be his last chance. OLB Vince Biegel also went on the IR ending his season as well. WR Allen Hurns was also shelved on the IR with a wrist injury which made their decision to keep 6 WR’s relatively easy. I did think Kirk Merritt would make the 53 but he ended up on the PS. So, this our roster now . . .
QB (2)
Tua Tagovailoa
Jacoby Brissett
RB (3)
Myles Gaskin
Malcolm Brown
Salvon Ahmed

So that’s the 53 man roster and this year the practice squad has been expanded by the NFLPA and the NFL accordingly to 16 players, including veteran players. Our PS consists of . . .
DE Jason Strowbridge, WR, Kirk Merritt, C Cameron Tom, RB Gerrid Doaks, RB Patrick Laird, QB Reid Sinnett, DT Durval Quieroz-Neto, OL Adam Pankey, LB Shaquem Griffin, DE Jabaal Sheard, CB Tino Ellis, WR Brandon Powell, LB Calvin Munson, LB Milo Eifler, OL Kion Smith, CB Javaris Davis.
So the Dolphins travel to New England, which formerly was a house of horrors, but we have been flipping that script in recent years. We did lose last season to Cam Newton and the RPO for which we had no answer 20-11. We upset the Patriots 27-24 in ’19 with a Fitzpatrick to Gesicki TD with :24 seconds remaining. In ’18 we were massacred 38-7 with HC Adam Gase, as if we expected any different. Gase in over his head at every stop in the NFL as head coach. I’m hoping we have something closer to the 2019 game, but I’d like to beat them by at least a TD, send them a message! The Patriots will have their new QB along with 2 new TE’s, Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry, as well as WR Nelson Agholor. I would expect both TE’s to get a lot of looks as BB tries to exploit mismatches. Besides, the TE is a young QB’s best friend. On our side on offense I expect us to have long drives moving the chains with a good combo of rushing and passing, and I expect our TE’s to be busy as well, along with RB Myles Gaskin getting lots of touches in the rushing and passing game. Both defenses will be similar in approach. Create pressure from where it’s not too obvious, disguising blitzes and pass rushers. I want to see a crisp game from our squad and most of all I want them to make Mac Jones look very bad. We don’t him gaining confidence beating a better team in game 1, and yes, I said we’re the better team. Instead, I want the new Tua to have a great game and give NE a taste of what’s to come for the next decade or so of Miami Dolphins dominance!
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
While watching this, one thing became quite clear to me: Tua gets the ball out even faster than he did last year, which was already pretty fast.
Tua’s ergonomics are nearly perfect and you can see that he’ll have a deep ball this year, even if he didn’t display it in the preseason.
4 more days
But that’s 96 hours away! Can’t get here fast enough, Bro!

Locked down our tickets with Tim our Dolphin’s rep and got 4 more cause the demand for this Fest is so high. So no pressure on extras.
Also talked with D&B’s and secured our normal place in the pool table area. Night before will start at 6 at D&B’s in Hollywood as always. Reserved till 10 but not like they ever kick us out.

That’s FUNNY!
Lmao…..so you’re going ape shit!
Why should they play Watson? Gets hurt and he loses trade value. Plus put him out and they have a better QB on the field while what they are really looking for is the first draft pick.
Our Dolphins ticket rep said that the team has sold 15,000 more season tickets than last year. That’s a big number. Almost makes you think a bunch of folks in South Florida are jumping on the Flores bus.
could be that sales were WAY DOWN in a covid year when we didn’t know if we were going to be able to attend in person too….
Sales might have been down, but everyone could put their seasons on hold last year too. So no one was dropping them.
Miami needs to stomp NE into the mud. Total annihilation…destroy their spirit and spirits of their sycophants inn the media.
FUTURE PAT’S FANS SHOULD BE BORN WITH A FLINCH!
Doctor, what was that? Why does my baby keep flinching like that?
Hmmmmm Are you a pat’s fan?
of course!
Well then, I think it was him flinching at the future beat downs the pats are going to take from the Dolphins. He should be fine in 30-40 years…
Lol…beat them so bad that their babies are born with a Dolphin’s tattoo.
Lmao! Yep.

Totally agreed, Stanger.
Tua said he turned down being Captain
Says he’s “not worried about c’s
He’s worried about W’s”
I like it.
Hmmmm….I abdicated that opportunity once and regretted it in the end. Had the same spirit, but regretted not taking the reins.
I WANT TO HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF PATRIOTS WOMEN!
Time to send them back to the desert for another 20 years.
Nope — not in Africa. This kill happened in Central Park.
I’ve got Great Blue Herons in my backyard, Stanger. They love to dive-bomb the creek on my property… SO MAJESTIC!
See them from time to time including one doing a fly by yesterday.
Blue herons are amazing they eat 1 ton of fish/etc a year
And…. you can tell if it’s a blue hero or any heron over a crane when they fly… cranes fly with there neck straight out while herons keep there neck in a S ..
Just a little bird talk..I know all birds lol
^
Back to football… maybe it’s me however I’ve watched pretty much all/ everyone’s press convo. Devante to me doesn’t really seem to be having fun. I understand we all are different how we come across. I just didn’t get a good vibe.
Tua not being capt… is also a little worrisome however Son said it was his choice…… weird
Haven’t met you CapS, but agree on your “weird”. See above. I fucked up, he shouldn’t.
Majestic, head held high….
Oh god, that was response to CapS on blue herons.
Obviously you guys have never seen a pig dive bomb a pond or you wouldn’t be so impressed by that Heron
Lol…I’ve seen a few pigs dive bomb and it wasn’t pretty!
I probably shouldn’t call it a dive….lol
Is it something like this
Lmao….much closer!
You need to lead when called upon…sorry Tua took a bow on being a captain.
Does anyone really focus on who the captains are? Bobby McCain was a captain and he’s not here anymore. I just want Tua to prove he’s the QB we thought he was when we drafted him #5 in 2020.
Maybe not Tim, but I took a backseat to a veteran only to verify what I already knew. I should have “captained” it and didn’t. Huge mistake on my part.
Not sure how the team might take that either. For me, I’d be WTF? Humbleness is overrated.
Tua hasn’t even started a full season yet. Not sure he should be a captain.
There are the captains of our 2021 team.
Jess Davis
Mack Hollins
Elandon Roberts
Jason McCourty
Clayton Fejedelem
He’s the starting QB.
The entire NFL is judging him, what bigger stage do you have to say, I’ve got this. Just my opinion and learning from my mistakes and if I had a do over would do it differently.
I should say one should always be humble until you shouldn’t….lmao!
You know who else is not a Captain? Howard – the best player on the team. Baker – the defense’s heart. Parker – the longest tenured WR. Gesicki – expected to be a breakout player. Don’t read into it. I love the Hollins’ pick – guy who everyone wanted to say was on the bubble. Guess he said fuck you doubters. Same for Davis – team loves him more than the fans and the media. Not like either of them are taking Tua’s place in the huddle. It’s just more media-created histrionics and hand wringing to justify their being wrong on every story about Tua all year.
^
Capt. Stubbs – I would not be surprised to see Parker traded before the deadline. Hollins and Williams more than replace him and Hollins isn’t always injured.
That would not shock me.
I think there are leaders that are recognized, a captain is a leader, I think any QB on any team should be a captain
imo.
Your job is to lead, captain the ship, make the reads before the snap, know where you’re going, and execute.
Maybe I don’t understand what a captain is.
The play caller on D should be a captain.
Not sure a NT or center should ever be a captain over another on D or O, respectively.
Baker is a leader on the defense and everyone knows that. Byron Jones is a great candidate for captain but he’s not. Maybe it’s just about guys that fire everyone up. Not sure we have a shortage of that though. I don’t think the ‘captain’ title means much.
Maybe not TK, just seems odd, incongruent.
I agree totally… I do think it’s strange with tua. Because what we’ve heard is that he’s done everything to deserve it. Just win regardless
Sorry on who I agree with
“I AGREE WITH KRISHNA ” Always wanted to say that lol
Lmao!
It’s very cool that Michael Deiter won the starting center position in his 3rd season after being drafted in the 3rd round by the Flores regime, their first OL drafted. That’s how it’s supposed to be. Young players developing. Now it’s time for Deiter to go out and prove he’s the long term answer.
No doubt, agreed.
Still can’t figure out why we can’t figure out an OL…..hmmmmm
It’s exactly what we should do – draft guys and bring them along
When you lack talent, guys start right away.
Even last year so many of our OL were expected to play right away. But this year players like Eichenberg, who played well IMO, isn’t the top RT on the depth chart
Look at our DBs: Holland, Jones and Iggy are all backups. I think some people see that as busts (especially iggy) but I think part of that mindset of not being used to a deep team
I’m not sure if anyone noticed but none of our draft picks are expected to start. That’s not a bad thing. We have young hungry players behind vets and an actual system in place where players can be be brought along slowly and develop without being pressured to start
No one even blinked that neither Waddle nor Phillips will start
Yep! The rooks will get snaps and earn their place by being productive. That’s how it works and Flores does not care about how you got here. He’s aware of it, but the best players will play. Whatever it takes to win the game.
The only time being named captain means anything (to us fans) is the day they announce you as captain and even then all the talk is about who isn’t a captain.
Right? Like little girls…lol.
I take it seriously for some reason lol
You are officially blog captain
Wear the badge with honor
Let’s look at who the captains are.
Jesse Davis – the versatile vet on the OL that all the young OL guys look up to.
Mack Hollins – a STs ace who had a very good offseason at WR.
Elandon Roberts – a baller who sets the tone with big hits.
Jason McCourty – the elder who’s won championships.
Clayton Fejedelem – a STs ace who’s role goes unnoticed by the public.
Tua is the leader of the offense when they’re on the field. He’s not a captain, he’s the general.
I’ll accept general! Lol.
He’s the field general. Every offensive play goes through him. The coaches are the war room generals. I’m excited about Tua. I think a new era is about to happen. 🙂
GENERAL KRISHNA!!
Unless you’re Captain Stubbs he’s the captain all the time. Happy Birthday buddy sorry I missed you yesterday.
I’m totally the capt of utter amazing fum!! The true capt. that have to really capt. Deserve all the credit……….. only if they’re fins fans lol
Fum lmao fun for the grammar Police
Sam Bam Cunningham former Patriot running back has died at age 71, RIP.
I love it pig!! However I’m a simple man. I was just thinking a rib bone on a necklace. I don’t want to say it’s a beef or pork rib. Got to keep you guessing lol
Totally wrong place for a reply…. all these rules around here.. sorry all…
Saw that last night
Don’t remember what it was for, but had to write up a news report in Jr high, so I chose a sports report and had Sam in it, always loved his name/nickname
Capt, are you really apologizing for posting in the wrong spot? LOL
Did you see what he posted under?
Steve I understand we always need what they say smart people… your hired lol
It was an honest mistake is all I meant.
Wait what… I’ve been hacked!!!!
If Tua truly was chosen by his teammates to be captain, and he declined….that’s some weird shit. I could see if the coach chose the captains, and he said no….pick that guy. If your teammates pick you….you’re fucking captain. It’s a privilege and a responsibility that you don’t just decline. The captain does a lot….it’s not just a token thing.
***
Anyway, It’s not like it will matter in the big scheme of things, but it’s weird…if true.
You see even a bucket has sense…. your hired too lol
..
Lock up the cheats WRs with press coverage, who they got agholar?
Play cover 0 and shut down the LOS, running game and bs short passes
Make Jones beat you, don’t let them run
I think we’re going to attack the backfield early and often. Not let it come to us but get after them. Make Mac Jones uncomfortable all day.
Hopefully soon the drama will end with this team. We seem to always find something. LOL
I agree we’re all crazy about this team, however don’t put Noah on Agholar… trying to keep it simple apologize for any miss spelling
I have the Steelers and Dolphins defenses/STs on my FF team. I’m starting the Dolphins against the Pats over the Steelers against the Bills. Both are on the road.
Rock I feel sorry for your bad experience with wild meat!
Elk meat is the best I’ve ever had! And I’ve ate just about everything they let you shoot!
Props to Sam Eguavoen coming over from the CFL a few years ago. A very solid LB on our team.
👍
Wait… I saw an over the shoulder throw there. I thought it was always sidearm? 😉
He’s a no rush, practice hall of famer for sure!
A possible breakout player this year and I think we have a few is; Raekwon Davis. He’s a monster of a man that can also run at 6-7 320+.
I think you right. His play went under the radar last season
I think he’s on pace to get better – people are going to start talking about him
Best of Get Smart
What’s this guy doing in Manitoba
??
Don Adams is with the chief looking at the map of agents all over the country, marked by a tack, then sees a tack in Manitoba and says, what’s this guy doing in Manitoba? Then pulls the tack out and the map falls and all the pins scramble all over the floor
What happens when you take the RPO away from the ck down king?
He’s not checking down on plays that are designed to get guys open quickly underneath
And you know this how? from his extraordinary play last year, or his preseason superbowl appearance?
You call tell from how fast the play develops
bellichick will load the box, take away the underneath stuff, keep him in long down and distance, keep him in the pocket for as long as possible, he will make Tua beat him with Tua’s weakness, throws over 20 yards that take time to develop.
this way his DL will be able to get in Tuas face and take away his passing lanes, something he struggled with last year.
and all of you will blame it on the running game & lack of talent at the rec position.
And you know this how? from [your] extraordinary [insight] last year, or [your] preseason superbowl [speculation]?
LMAO!
i will be completely shocked if we don’t get blown out week 1
i will be completely shocked if we [do] get blown out week 1.
I fixed it for you! Lol

Fake news.
Dammit, Clayton Fejedelem is a Captain and not Jason Sanders? WTF, SMH, I hate this world. I’m going back to watching the LPGA instead. 😉
The Miami Dolphins have released their first injury report for Week 1 of the 2021 regular season — and things are looking promising for Miami to have as many players available to them as possible for their showdown with New England. Here are the players who were listed on the injury report and their status during Wednesday’s practice:
Liam Eichenberg (Thigh) – Limited
Preston Williams (Foot) – Limited
Salvon Ahmed (Back) – Full
Clayton Fejedelem (Shoulder) – Full
DeVante Parker (Shoulder) – Full
Elandon Roberts (Knee) – Full
Albert Wilson (Quad) – Full
where’s Jackson?
I would assume if Jackson doesn’t clear Covid protocol we will move Davis to LT and Liam to RT

Mike, did you get a new cheer leading skirt this year with matching pom-poms?

My biggest worry……other than the obvious is our OL.
seems i’m not the only broken record, why isn’t Tua Captain?
Hollins is a stud and the right guy for captain
MortimerInMiami says:
September 9, 2021 at 2:14 am
Tua’s not a leader, it’s quite obvious at this point.
Who is Mortimer????
I don’t know but I know he lives in Miami
a guy who responded to the site the phelon posted
He’s an intouch intowner
It’s just “Captain” doesn’t really mean anything officially, but you have to look at the way Tua is, he wants to earn it and not be handed to him
Kind of seems like the way ORob is evaluating him, he wants Tua to earn his praise, before praising him, and until that time go by what he did last year, fair or not
We’ll know on Sunday, if the hype matches the 2021 version of Tua
We started 3-0 one year with RT, then played at Cheats, belicheat played his cover 0 and Tannehill wilted like an ice cream cone in Vegas
Tua plays good Sunday and 2020 will be the past
that’s a fair approach for sure. And the captain stuff got blown way out of proportion yesterday (saw so many ‘fans’ saying it meant the FO had no faith and it was time to trade or get a new QB lmfao … most days I hate the internet). lol
I heard Tua turned down being a captain
Didn’t watch the video, but…
If we can believe the bs and the hype, then you need a good QB to succeed in the NFL
Mac Jones may be good in the future, but he hasn’t seen this D yet
Herbert wilted twice last year against us and the cheats, and Jones isn’t Herbert
Gotta stop thebrun game at all cost
3rd down and 6, 8 guys on the D LOS, who is coming? Jones will throw the ball quick and hope his receiver can run for a 1st, not exactly a situation you’ll succeed often with
FYI
There are 4 teams that don’t even appoint captains for the season, they appoint captains weekly . That’s how little it means.
But like everything else regarding Tua, his detractors want to make a mountain out of a molehill
You want to hear something really funny – DeShaun Watson was named team captain for Houston. Nothing says team leadership like demanding a trade from your team am
I right?
Jimmy Garapolo also named team captain just a few months after 49ers traded up and drafted his replacement in Trey Lance…
Trevor Lawrence and Zach wilson are both team captains having not taken a snap in the nfl
Almost every team named their QB team captain out of routine. It really doesn’t mean much about the player
But there is one other team that did not name their starting QB team captain. I will give you guys a hint on which team it is. Our coach used to
Coach for them and often applies the same philosophies and we play that team this weekend….
Guess who it is – you guessed it. The Patriots have not named a qb team captain…
And I bet no one even questions it, but for Tua….blow harder Tua bashers blow harder
There’s a very fine line on Tua bashing, and it keeps getting finer and losing members, but if he doesn’t get it done on Sunday, the band will be playing loudly
I expect something in between how he played last year and what some of us think will happen
Belicheat doesn’t have the backend for this game to succeed with his cover 0, as Gilmore is out and they won’t be able to hang with our speed
Even with Gilmore, he would’ve been covering Parker, leaving others to roam free
Wilson and Waddle on quick slants to the house, if belicheat covers 0
Wash, Rinse, repeat!

One of the major themes of the NFL this offseason was QB changes across the league.
There are a total of 15 teams that will start a different Week 1 QB in 2021 vs. 2020, tied for the second most in the Super Bowl era.
2 in every NFC division except the west
3 in east and South of AFC and 2 in west
I’m pretty sure Marcus Cannon didn’t play last year either as an opt out so that makes two coming back.
Never mind he’s in Houston
I’ve heard the talking heads, none other than I’ve never made a mistake in my life Stephen A Smith, use the excuse don’t forget the cheats also have 8 returning covid opt outs returning
He’s picking the cheats to win the division, and were not in the race
I’ll wait for more excuses on Monday
In 01 we made the playoffs after that we shit the bed.
08 we did the same and then shit the bed
16 same shit.
2019 we finished 5-4
2020 we finished 10-6
2021 do we shit the bed again?
If we do its the same ole dolphins.
That’s why there’s pressure on this front office this year
ORob — do you need a ticket to the Fest game? Gonna be able to have a game at D&B’s? We have the pool table are again.
“I kind of joke with Jesse (Davis) that I’m kind of going down his path. He’s played pretty much every position. But for me, I was at right tackle, left guard. But in college, that was in college, if I’m being honest. At the same time, it is kind of – being on the left side was a lot easier. Being at left guard, just kind of the movement pattern as you know. Regardless, wherever they want me and wherever the offensive line coach – ‘Coach Lem’ and ‘Coach Flo’ put me, I’ll play. Whatever it takes to help this team win. I’m just excited to practice, to be out there.”
— Liam Eichenberg, who seems like a mellow guy and a team first player. Was surprised wasn’t pushing for tackle….. that’s where the money is.
Liam is trying to get a starting spot, before worrying about the money
And he knows more about what is going on with the O-Line too.
If Jackson is out could be.
Davis – Eich – Deiter – Kindley – Hunt.
Lol
You’re a funny guy…
I saw that one today and laughed
ESPN’s PFI (Power Football Index) says there’s a 60% probability New England defeats Miami this coming Sunday.
———————
I say PFI stands for Probable Fool Index because I, the people on this board, and most of the betting public says Miami is, and SHOULD BE, FAVORED TO DEFEAT THE CHEATS!!! —DON’T those folks in Bristol KNOW that Mr. Cheat, himself, has a LOSING CAREER RECORD IN THE NFL WHEN SOMEONE OTHER THAN TOM BRADY IS STARTING AT QB??? DON’T they know that rookie QB’s starting their very first game in the NFL usually LOSE THAT GAME???
——————-
AH, SCREW HISTORY. AH, FORGET ABOUT THE FACTS. ESPN SAYS “Lets say something stupid so we can attract a stupid audience and have them buy stuff from our mostly lame advertisers!” THESE GUYS SAY, let’s forget research, drink MORE BEAR, and we’ll be OK!”
—————–
REALLY????
Vegas has us as 3 point dogs and that means a push btwn how good the teams are given playing up there. Sounds more or less right to me. But that also means predicted to be a good game.
PIGGY: I KNOW Young Stanger normally has Chef Warren cooking for our Fest games. But we’ll STILL NEED someone to cook the crow that all those Tua haters are going to have to consume. I was hoping you’d be the CHEF DU CROW for the game!?!?
I can do that but I’m not going to the fest, so you will have to read my posts here reminding the doubters that they were mistaken…
Cheats -2.5 says, the betting public thinks cheats will win
IF SO, they are wrong.
Yesterday Miami was favored by 3; the line’s moved 5 and 1/2 points, eh?

_______________________________________
not sure i can make it, it all depends on how Tua does.
Why? Put a lot of effort into setting the Fest up.
because i won’t be able to stand the abuse if he plays great!
Just kidding Stanger, I know you go through a lot to manage the Fest, and even if i can’t make it you are much appreciated,
Steve was on the fence about going a while back and i told him you do a great job and he’ll have a blast.
I’m just not sure what’s going on that far in advance, if i do go my preference will be going to the game over golf, unlike the previous fests.
Last line was all you had to say. But keep in mind the food will be ordered and the tickets bought long before the actual Fest weekend. I normally have an extra ticket or two, but not always.
Plan on me not going then, if i can make my way down there i can order my own food, if i can’t scalp a ticket i’ll play golf.
no worries
Here’s my quick breakdown of Sunday’s game against the Patsies*
1) If our Defense has few/no mental breakdowns, we can beat their Offense. Be ready for the quick-hitters out of the backfield, their quick slants, and their running game. Don’t over-commit, one way or the other, unless the situation warrants as much. Belicheat* will lull us into a false sense of security: be prepared. By the same token, don’t be afraid to keep ‘some’ heat on Mac Jones, just do it wisely (talking about the blitz). If the blitzing works early, then let the dogs out as the game goes on, but be ready for halftime adjustments.
2) If our Offense is all it’s cracked up to be, our speed will hurt their Defense. It’s going to be tough running, but don’t give up on the running game: we’ve got to keep them honest. Limit turnovers, keep the ball moving between the 20s, and Jason Sanders could put up enough points to win the game… provided our Defense does its job.
3) DON’T GET TOO CUTE. This is a divisional game and the win means a LOT, especially being our first four games are against great competition. Strike/score first, and manage the clock. There’s no need to advertise to the rest of the league what’s up our sleeves unless we need to pull this game out late.
Offense
— I think Tua is FAR ahead of Mac Jones: we should win the QB battle
— I think our WRs are FAR ahead of their WRs, and it’s essentially a wash with TEs, albeit we have the elite playmaker in Gesicki
— I think their O-Line is FAR ahead of our O-Line
— I think our RBs are about equal, but their O-Line is stout in running
Defense
— I think our D-Lines are close to equal
— I think our LB corps is a hair better than theirs
— I think our DBs are SUPERIOR to theirs, but do NOT, DO NOT sleep on theirs
Special Teams
— I think our STs are better than theirs. We’ve got nice gunners, nice blockers, and have an elite returner in Jakeem.
Do NOT sleep on: James White
Prediction: Phins 27 – Patsies* 23
1) be ready for the full display of pick plays, when they need a 1st down
VERY correct!
“The only thing that will save Gavin Newsom is voter fraud, so as they say: Stay woke. Pay attention to the voter fraud going on in California because it’s going to have big consequences not only for that state but for upcoming elections.”
— Fox News’ Tomi Lahren on Tuesday, making me wonder how these people know the future.
Because they see it happening, right in front of there eyes.
My dad said a guy was pulled over near him he had 100 blank ballots in his trunk
All ballots done by mail
Ballot Harvesting
Drop boxes
If you don’t think these are all means for cheating, and all were used in 2020, I’ve got some land in the Everglades for sale
The results haven’t even been reported yet. Cal is 75% Dem. Polls say Newsome probably wins. But back to how does this woman know so much?
She’s got eyes
Why is Pelosi and crew out there, they’re scared
For sure Newsome might lose. But she can say he already has while few others do. It’s like when Trump said the same yet lost by 7 million votes.
Why do you keep denying the cheating
Just cause don’t think it happened. I mean come’on you are the guy who claims Trump got 12 million more votes than the official tally. Should I just go — “well steve says that so must be right”?
It started out by them saying no cheating, then no significant cheating, then not enough to overturn the election
That doesn’t mean to you there was cheating?
I’ve seen the evidence as I’m sure you have, thousands of affidavits, many videos, not allowing oversize on ballot counting, more votes in AZ and MI precincts than registered voters
How can that be anything other than cheating?
You can say you don’t think there was cheating, but don’t believe that for a second
If the proof of this widescale cheating is so persuasive why can’t it be proven in court? Including Trump appointed judges. And a few of those judges are levying fees and costs and calling for law licenses of the lawyers who brought the suits to be revoked.
Man, we’re on the cusp of our ’21 season. What’s more, there are over a dozen political points I’d just LOVE to point out to liberals right now, but I abstain from doing it here.
You and I share a passion for politics, but I’m not going to engage in it here… and certainly not now.
Never agreed not to talk politics. You can do what you want. As a freedom of speech guy why am I bound by your choice?

Brother, it’s not like that, either. You aren’t bound by my choice, I’d just rather talk about our Phins right now. I mean, the first game of the NFL season kicks off tonight!
SO MUCH to look forward to! 🙂
Then just respond to the comments you want too. And just skip over the ones you don’t. Seems simple to me.
LOL, it’s not that simple for me, man. You and I are pretty big into politics, and you know this. I had to respond if nothing more than to let you know that I heard you. If this were the offseason, I would have LOVED to engage you on what you posted!
And I respect your right to do exactly what you want. What a free country is all about. 🙂
Stanger,
Did you know that Ari Fleischer is a HUGE Dolphins fan?
TJ Watt 4 yrs 112m 80m guaranteed
WOAH!!!
WTF
And Biden will call for large entertainment venues and arenas to require vaccinations or proof of a negative test for entry.
Is that in this mandate? Does it just pertain to indoor events? Que DeSantis in 3, 2, 1…
That is out of the article
But Trump is the fascist
That is a big move. M13 works for a Fortune 500 company. Gotta think more than 100 employees.
We have mandates too, or you have to get tested twice a week
Now we can go back to “Tua Sucks” ! 😉
Absolutely!
Man that’s 2!
Damn, that sucks for Edwards.
Sucks if you have him on your FF team too, even if obviously not quite as much.
Leveon Bell to be activated off of PS
Ouch! Both Dobbins and Edwards. That’s rough.
– wow, 28 mil per for Watt
– Ravens RBs dropping like flies
– Agholor is probably the Pets most dangerous receiver, and they aren’t 40 deep at WR like us
– I am not a fan of Newsome. When he unilaterally decided to put a moratorium on the death penalty because he doesn’t believe in it, right after we voted to keep it, he basically told me his personal views outweigh our vote. He’s as bad as that dumb Clerk Recorder who wouldn’t sign marriage certs for gays because it went against her personal beliefs.
You’re public servants, you morons, if your beliefs get in the way of that, then step down. And yes, I know we haven’t executed anyone in CA in like 15 years, I don’t care. Screw that guy. But he isn’t getting recalled. It doesn’t take a genius level intellect to look at the CA demographic and see how this recall election will turn out. All it takes is a simple majority to vote no on the recall, and it ends.
Not so simple to Tomi Lahren….. and she’s hot. But then guess so is Gavin based on who he has dated.
She’s blonde, not hot.
i heard there is a new strain of the virus called MU Variant Covid, the vaccine doesnt work on it
https://www.foxnews.com/health/covid-19-variant-mu-49-states
And let me tell you, our recall process is a joke. You could literally have 49% of the state vote for Newsome, and have another candidate elected governor with less than 10% of the vote. It’s goofy.
That’s crazy, good luck with whomever you get stuck with
It’s going to stay Newsome, and it sucks, but I’d rather have him than Elder or Kaitlin freakin’ Jenner, smh. Basically the same kind of choice I was given in the presidential election. It’s Idiocracy, and people wonder why I am so jaded and feel like I have no representation.
If you aren’t paying attention this non-dolphin nfl story, ja’marr chase has a lot of drops in preseason. He’s been really bad
It happens
I still think he’s go quite a future ahead of him
Anyone now mike florio, who is a piece of shit and the catalyst of the Tua/Watson rumors, just got called out by him for the way he charterized what he said
Was going to post above won’t watch Florios videos any longer, right there with Cownerd
I’m a government worker in Sacto, and we don’t have vaccine or testing mandates (just masks). I’m blown away by that.

Yessir, WAY more than 100 employees. I live in a very ‘red’ area, to boot. Should this new ‘mandate’ come to fruition, it will close my place of employment: there will be refusal to take the vax, even if mandated.
Them saying “hey it’s the law” won’t make a difference? I mean 75% of US adults are already vaxxed. Wouldn’t be enough to fill out the jobs?
It won’t be a law. It will be an OSHA rule making. Only Congress can make laws.
“Hey it’s a legally enforceable requirement” then.
Biden is a fascist or at least those “advising” him
It’s actually 3 Ravens RBs that have major injuries
The Ravens are having one of those years. Every nfl team has them, just injury after injury
We play them, so good year for it
Somewhere (right over there🤪) the Raiders are smiling
Marcus Peters too
Wow!!! That’s crazy.
Wow, I guess the Ravens should have got a live chicken
Or a goat. Goats are the creme de la creme of Santeria sacrifices.

—————-
NO… it would NOT make a difference. And the way I hear it, it’s more like 52% of US adults are already vaxxed.
I see I got lured into a political convo again!
52% of the total population. Under 12 aren’t eligible. Lower percentage for 13-18. Talking 18 and above by adults. Assume the people in the working community.
Alright, I’ll roll with ya on whatever percentage. Why, I ask, is it that we’re told that the delta variant is destroying America? Logically speaking, if 50% of our population has been vaxxed, why is it spreading faster and killing more people than the initial COVID?
Reason: FAKE NEWS
Reaction: Why get vaxxed?
As a matter of math and science, NONE of this makes sense.
Delta is spreading faster cause it is a nastier bug than we started with. And it’s crushing cause people aren’t vaccinate. 95% of the people who get hospitalized and 98% of those who dies these days are unvaccinated.
Sometimes you’ll see arguments about the numbers bc some people are citing one dose vs fully vaccinated
It’s possible you are both correct
This in IMO a reliable source for that info
https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-tracker
In your state there’s like a 20% difference between one dose and two doses (You can click on the state)
Also the lowest % across the country is people below 18 and that’s going to affect the final numbers
So if you are trying to get an accurate read of the %, just make sure you are aware of all the variations people are presenting the information. It’s not necessarily wrong – but it’s very possible to come down with two very different conclusions based on who you are looking at
Who’s better Cam Newton or Tua,
I’m not a big fan of Newton but i would have to think he’s better than Tua.
Of course you do.
LOL
There’s your definition of narcissism!
I’m back to football.
I’m so desperate for football, that I am excited about Dallas vs Tampa, lol.
I just can’t wrap my head around the kind of money players get these days.
$28 mill a year for a defensive player is pretty mind blowing. Wonder what X thought about that.
There’s a report that his agent thought they can get more by watt overruled them and signed….lol
The NFL makes so much money because of us. 😉
Rob – I’ll bring my cheerleading outfit if you promise to bring your full on doom and gloom emo outfit
LOL
Regarding viruses – From the “science” perspective…Viruses burn out for two reasons. One – herd immunity; two – the virus kills all viable hosts. Get faxed, don’t get faxed. End result will be the same.
Stop it!
Making sense and all your rhetoric!
It is hard not to like the guy.

Who?
Fitzmagic….. that’s the Washington OL wearing a Tshirt with his charicature on it.
Oh okay.
I don’t know about your worlds?
But OSHA rules mine!
OSHA or OH shit?
Occupational safety and health administration!
And parting from my usual smart ass self! That is the truth!!!!!!
I know what OSHA is, it’s a joke
6 rule changes in the NFL this year.
#1- No OT in preseason. Duh, the league catches up to common sense.
#2- No more than 9 players in the ‘set-up zone’ on kick returns. This is supposed to increase the chances of an onside kick recovery by the kicking team.
#3- Expansion of the duties of the replay official. Designed to give on-field officials more info from the replay official. Basically makes replay a two man job now. On-field official still has final say.
#4- Ensures enforcement of all accepted penalties committed by either team during successive PAT attempts. Weird scenario clarification for a once in a blue moon occurrence. Not worth writing it all.
#5- Penalty, plus loss of down on two forward passes. Previously was just a 5 yd penalty. Now it’s 5 yds and loss of down.
#6- The jersey numbers rule. Expands number choices for some positions.

I swear to Dog I’m going to sell all my shit and move into the mountains!!!!!
Although its a beautiful song! Did they just say black national anthem???????????
This is why I DVR shit and watch it latter!!!!!!!!1
Yes sir
Divide and conquer
She’s blonde, not hot.
————————-
You could die her hair brown, black or red and she would be hot!
I still like Emily Compagno the mostest. She is smoking hot at 41 years old!!!
Man, as if Tampa Bay were not loaded enough, they got Gio Bernard.
I don’t normally root for Dallas!
But when I do it’s because I want Brady to bleed!
very hard times for me as a Tampa Bay fan.
I just double my hatred for Bellicheat and Boston patsies.
