Just read a story about one of the Jan 6 rioters pleas to the court. One of her points was she should not be incarcerated cause would create a great risk to her health cause of Covid cause she is unvaccinated. Ain’t that a reason.
Why do you do this to us, Stanger?
I feel as though if I come to Miami to watch a game with you and Old Dolfan, this is what’s going to happen.
I thought it was funny. Assume you get why. What did it do to you?
SMH
It’s NOT funny.
SMH back. You did get the risk of Covid cause unvaccinated part?
Actually, I lol when I read it, stangerx. Some people! Great defense….lmao
Dr. Giggles! LMAO!
Might just be her lawyer coming up with everything he can at the sentencing stage, but who would have thought unvaccinated is a reason to not be behind bars when the shot is right there?

You lost me at “Jan 6 rioters”.
You don’t know what happened on Jan 6?
And then you wonder why people call you and Rockphin liberals. SMH
WHERE WERE YOU TWO when cities were being burned to the ground last year, due to actual RIOTS???
Stick to football, gents.
And there were riots the summer before during the George Floyd stuff. Just cause someone brings up Jan 6 does not mean they deny the other. Except in your mind I guess. And you threw in the liberal tag.
You are a trip M13.
Stanger, you never cease to amaze me with your political takes.
Just speculating, maybe he doesn’t think like you…..lmao
That’s cause I am amazing. Published and quoted in most of the country’s top newspapers. Used to talk to crowds of 600-700 at conferences. What do you do for a living M13?
I won’t take your bait. I, too, am “amazing”.
Simple question — what do you do for a living. Everyone else on this board has said except you.
That’s nobody’s biz but mine.
Intrusive, much?
So basically you are willing to say you work for a Fortune 500 company but not what you do for it. Why do you figure you are so different about not letting people know what you do for a living than everyone else? Sorta what people talk about in normal conversation.
mf13ss, at least I laugh, it’s too bad you feel some sort of unfunniness to it. Kinda recurring theme for you.
Rather be laughing at all of it….smh
NOBODY wins in this politically charged environment. Why go there on a football blog?
Any update on Jaylen Smith? Instead, some folks want to talk about POLITICS.
He’s signing with the Packers.
WOW! He’s going to help them, greatly.
The only thing I know about the guy is what Mike posted last night, so I don’t have an opinion on signing him. Do you think he would be an upgrade over Roberts or Eguavoen?
Oh, it’s moot. I guess he’s on the Packers now, lol.

Your arrogance is dripping off of you with these first two words to me.
So let’s say I am arrogant based on “So basically.” Get you are trying to deflect from saying what you do for a living. Which for the life of me can’t imagine why is a big issue. But I will let it rest. I like you M13, but you’ve been attacking me at times recently. This time decided to turn it around.
OH GOD YOU TRIGGERED THE SNOWFLAKE
Take my fucking name out of your mouth MF
That’s fair! Sorry.
Why don’t we get along? Is it POLITICS?
Let’s all simmer down!!!!
Agreed
Nah, it’s NOT deflection whatsoever. As I stated, my biz is nobody else’s biz: there’s no need for me to deflect after a SOLID reply to you. My privacy is to be RESPECTED.
Yeah, I’ve given you a hard time as of late, so I can completely understand why you’d turn it around on me.
We’re good!
Meant as a reply to Stanger.
Glad you’re living your dream! All that counts!
Why so judgemental then?
Krishna, in what way have I been judgemental, sir?
Lol….let’s take this string as an example. All your attacks on Stangerx and now Rockfin insuating RINOs, every fucking time you blame the ills of this society on libs….let’s start there….
….does it have to be spelled out for you? Lmao!
^insinuating….lol
You know what’s going to happen? People will start speculating on what you do for a living. I’ll start. You’re an importer/exporter of chips and diapers.
😆
I have said it several times before on this blog (I guess Stanger missed as much), but I’m in the architectural field.
So you build bird houses?
LOL
Must not be an architect….
I’ve known and seen the work of a few…amazing people.
I am liberal. Why is that bad? Just as why is being conservative bad?
It’s not! That’s why we’re all fucked in the head. People are dividing themselves more than the politicians are and they’re just fine with that.
Tim I appreciate that comment, but I feel compelled to say disagreements aren’t always bad.
It’s a big country. I don’t think the vision was ever that everyone had to agree with one another or meet isn’t he middle. We don’t need that to happen to be a strong country
It’s fine for people in this country to feel divided. It’s a representative form of govt. I’m oversimplifying but essentially the majority wins. People are going to be upset when it doesn’t go their way. That’s natural. And maybe everyone is right and wrong some of the time.
Having different visions isn’t so bad.
My biggest gripe is that it’s two parties controlling the direction. But if there were multiple powerful parties, I still think people would still disagree and that wouldn’t be so bad.
I would rather live in a country where people feel strongly about their beliefs than constantly compromising.
And it’s nothing to be ashamed of if your opinions or views aren’t the most popular ones. I disagree with a lot of people about virally everything….lol
There really is something to “ignorance is bliss” or maybe it’s just fear of truth, internally and to the world.

If your posts were to translate to a voice, you truly remind me of Chris Latta, the voice of ‘Cobra Commander’. And he was an INCREDIBLE voice!

Lol!
Stanger started it, you know it, and he knows it as well.
Don’t be falsely laying blame.

You disparaged his post and said it was “NOT” funny……not sure how you can pass the buck on this?

Krishna, but what about football?
Need to get our shit together and have no idea why we look horrible.
The first two years, we lacked talent, but played disciplined hard nosed football, few mistakes.
This year it’s been totally opposite and shitshow. Every fucking mistake imaginable is being made!
I’m clueless what the fuck is going on!

Piggy, I agree. I don’t decide on who I like or dislike because of their political affiliation. That’s fucking stupid to me, unless you’re political affiliation is to discriminate, hate and want to eradicate certain groups of people. I live by a pretty simple ideology; don’t tread on me, and don’t violate the rights of others.

I have many friends who are politically opposite of me.

My biggest dilemma regarding football?
Do I go early to Nickel City this weekend watch the Bill’s and record the Dolphin’s OR stay home with the Ticket or find some bar I can watch them. What to do….
Hope we win this week, you guys are getting ornery
LOL, I was thinking the same thing. I know I’ve been salty at times the last few days.
🤡👍
Lol…my grandmother used to say I was ornery…..it works!
Mind you I was just a Prick at work today. EVERYONE was pissing me off …. HR manager asked me to talk to a new recruit at 09:15 am, then a DIVA O/O at 11:00… at 11:00 I said NO NOT A GOOD DAY fro that 🤡
I am something that sounds like ornery…oh wait a minute
That’s a gimme Ken
Cause me forgot the comma
That’s a gimme , Ken

Go natural, man!
This place is nothing if not entertaining
I will say this about the status of our team. The offense is the biggest issue because they don’t make enough explosive plays. We have some nice drives here and there but sometimes even those end up in FGs or punts. Who on offense has made a big play yet? I mean a really big play. The Brown 24 yard TD run?
Brissett lateral to Waddle in the endzone was a pretty big play
I agree though we have been very disjointed on O…
Gotta disagree….the biggest issue are the mistakes. Undisciplined football…it wreaks!
Jackson with way too many penalties, the offside on the punt that resulted in a 1st down … some very questionable PFs …
Lots on offense. Every team gets penalties but some big plays here and there can overcome those. What is our biggest play on offense? Anyone break a big run or catch for a score beyond 30+ yards. Just one!
I think Gesicki has a couple
, but very few and far between
And they all seem to happen at the worst possible moment
That’s definitely been the case.
Sorry I meant one big play for a score? Take it to the house type of play. Brown’s 24 yard TD run is the only one I can think of.
Yeah that’s about it
We have what 3 tds to choose from LOO
That’s a big issue. There are a lot of reasons for that but it’s reality. Opponents do not fear our offense in any way. The tape dictates that.
We have done nothing to warrant being feared yet ..
Not sure who LOO is but we have 6 TDs on offense this season. LOL
Was to be an LOL , but … it does not seem we have scored even that many … although will not doubt you 😊
6 TDs in 4 games on offense is pathetic. You will never win in today’s NFL playing that way. Just for the record, we scored 2 TDs on offense in the first game with a win in NE with Tua. Since then, just 4 TDs in the last 3 games. I know Tua set Brissett up for failure down 7-0 against the Bills after 9 snaps in the 1st quarter before getting injured, but since then it’s still been difficult. 😉
Siffiyis a NICE word it yup
Wow!! Or difficult
You guys are nuts! I haven’t see the Dolphins play anything resembling football this season…lol.
Not even close…can’t wait for savior Brissett…oh my.
Did you mean Watson 🤡
IM KIDDING !!!!!!!🤔
No! Geez, loeez….lol.
Sarcasm is so misunderstood….lol
Hoped you were kidding!
I saw your sarcasm, and raised you a WTF
Lol. manitobafinfan, I can’t keep up!
AND, it took me forever to type out your name…lol. Need to go into abbreviated mode, wtf.
I hear ya , I tried to type an STD thats looks like Siffiyis but couldn’t get it right so I said fuck it 😊
Most use Toba , prolly cause so close to Tua 🤔🤡
^seen
Lmao…can we have a rookie QB play a full rookie season? Just stupid, agenda driven shit here about QB.
Sometimes these can work .. fingers crossed
I will even be happy with a moral victory this week 😕
To all the coaches, take some chances. The conservative approach is not working. Attack and go for it. If you’re not good enough you’re not good enough. At least know that. You’re not winning games 17-16 every week. In fact you’ve lost 3 in a row not doing that.
I agree. Go down in a blaze of glory . What you got to lose
Nothing, you are what your record says you are. Play to win. Not just survive and that’s what I think we’re seeing. Flores has to change that mentality. The 5th game has to be go for it.
I don’t care if you’re in max protect the first few drives. Take shots to score points. Make the opponent at least think about it. Plays within 10 yards is easy to defend.
Cards put up a good fight, but Dodgers take it in the bottom of the 9th. I’m happy, we had our chances against what is probably the best roster in the league. We wouldn’t have had the horses to beat the Giants in a longer series anyway.
It’s fun to be in the tournament though isn’t it? 🙂
In Greek mythology Sisyphus or Sisyphos was the founder and king of Ephyra. He was punished for cheating death twice by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity.
Syphilis, a bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact that starts as a painless sore.
I guess both can apply to our team…..lol.
Trying to figure out how to use both in a sentence to describe our team!
WARNING ⚠️
Watching the Dolphins this year may cause syphilis flare-ups due to the sysiphus-like effort on display this season.
I keep imagining Sylvester the cat saying “Suffering Sysiphus!!”
Lol!
👍👍😊
Kong – Cards and Yankees fought so hard to get to the post season and turns out to be just one game. That kind of stings. I would have loved for the Mets to have been in that spot, but the loss would hurt me as much as it hurt you. Too quick and end. On the other hand, it would have been kinda cool to have the anomaly of a 106 win team eliminated in a one game playoff.
Kind of like the Dolphins wild card loss every 10-15 years….
Cheers, Mike. That’s two years in a row losing in the WC round, but we were heavy underdogs, so I am just glad we gave ’em a good game and made the Dodgers fans sweat it, lol. I think we’re close to having a team that can compete for the series, so I look forward to seeing what we can do next year.
Getting to the playoffs in baseball actually means something. I’ve read they are likely going to expand the number of teams that get in soon. Then it will be just like very other sport where half the league makes the playoffs. $$$$$
Yeah tough game last night
Started watching at the beginning, then was out doing stuff and saw the last 3 innings
I can see why the Cards won 17 in a row
Didn’t sweat it out, because Cards weren’t ever up 2 or 3 runs, that 1 early won’t do it
We had a guy on 2nd in the 9th inning of a 1-1 game. One hit away from taking the lead at the end. I would have been worried there.
But you guys are basically an all-star team, so I understand the confidence.
I saw the mushroom sky and started laughing 😃. Then, I read your comment…and laughed again!
Yeah, I may be emotionally overreacting, but I’ve seen enough of this group. I was skeptical about Grier from the beginning because he was one of the top scouts for a team that could not evaluate talent. He has just solidified my opinion of his abilities. I was cautiously optimistic about Flores, but his constant turn over at coordinator and coaching spots along with the slow start every year and back sliding has me more pessimistic than not. I am patiently waiting for the re-rebuild now. BLOW IT ALL UP! Pull the roots and salt the fucking fields! Crush every cockroach until there is no residue of the ineptitude that has plagued this team left.
Or at least win this Sunday and I may feel better….
LOL
I agree on Flores and Grier
Flores Mr turnover, needs to put a few guys in place and leave them there
Turnover every year doesn’t help start of the year strong
Seems like since he’s so green he should have vet coordinators, unless the plan is to let them grow with him
Maybe we’re too impatient, but the regression this year doesn’t help
Love Scrubs. Watching it in re-reruns now.
May help to get pressure in Brady’s face. We know from experience that’s how you get to him and rattled him. Although rattle might be too strong a word. Disrupt maybe?
He won’t play this week, watch
Flores is kind of an ass that way
Will depend on how he looks in practice. But no matter what he’s back next week.
The Bucs are now without their 3 starting CB’s from game 1 of the season. If we don’t attack down field this game our OC’s need to be fired. Buc’s (I believe) have the #1 run defense. We need to stretch them out. On D, stop Fournette and Jones in the run game and put pressure in Brady’s face.
Still waiting to see if/who they bring up to fill Grant’s spot on the 53.
Lol, they brought in a C from someone’s practice squad
Wouldn’t that be Raekwon now that he has been brought back from IR?
BBL, It’s another rainy day in NW FL. Let the wife talk me into going to Foley, AL to go shopping. Told her only if we go eat at Landry’s. Home of the tossed roll.

I renovated a Hampton Inn there years ago.
Yep, it’s going to be a long afternoon. lol
I did talk her into taking the long way home and stopping by Bass Pro Shops on the way.
isn’t that over in Mobile? That is the long way home! LOL
That’s what we want to hear.
Ouch!
there is no “journalistic integrity” on twitter. You can pretty much say whatever you want. The actual papers TRY a little harder.

“One day, it was during training camp. Everybody’s playing games in the locker room while we’re on break, and I was playing. He walked into the locker room and Tom was like ‘what are you doing? Didn’t you just mess up this in practice?’ He’s like, ‘then you shouldn’t be playing.’”

4 O-Line coaches in 26 months teaching different techniques is a huge problem.
To interpret Jackson
Flores you’re a schmuck
Most important, imo, an OL needs a common language over time to gel, a single-minded purpose to execute as one. I don’t see how that’s developed with constant change.
Who in the media called Tua a bust after 4 starts?
I didn’t really Mac Jones has 4 interceptions
This years rookies are really struggling

lol
Christian McCaffrey’s brother, lol.
Bull Shit, LOL….what kind of technique is going to help you when your opponent just flat out beats you?
all you have to do is beat the man in front of you, it’s more about athleticism & power or lack thereof.
the only technique you need is to stay between your guy and the qb in pass pro. and pass pro is where this OL is lacking.
I’m not an OL expert but this is a lot of technique pre-snap terms of positioning and footwork and handwork seem pretty critical before you even make contact with the defensive player
I guess when you completely olay it it might not matter
But I can see how technique would affect the play
repeat after me Piggy
technique is great, the subtle things you do to gain an advantage, but it all comes down to brute force and speed for the most part.
sigh, never mind
go away, no one’s talking to you!
Tua’s first four starts vs jones, Tua only eclipsed the 200 yard mendoza line once in four starts, Jones has only slipped below it once, the qbs job is to complete passes and gain yards. wins and losses fall on the entire team effort. of jones 3 of 4 starts he gained more yards than Tua has since he’s been playing as a pro.
it’s pretty obvious who the better qb is thru 4 games.
TUA
vs rams 12-22-93
vs cards 20-28-248
vs chargers 15-25-169
vs broncos 23-38-199
JONES
vs TB 31-40-275
vs N.O. 30-51-270
VS NY 22-30-186
VS MIA 29-39-281
The veteran Jacoby Brissett is faring no better behind our O-Line, though.
brissett had a 100 passer rating, evaded multiple sacks while scrambling, he played great considering no run game or protection.
Our O-Line was assembled for our left-handed starter in Tua. The idea is for Eich to become Tua’s blindside protector at RT, while Jackson plays at LT.
Right-handed Brissett’s blindside is now being protected by LT Jackson… yikes.
This is yet another problem until Tua gets back.
i think they may move hunt to rt, eich to lt and jackson to g, you cant keep having your qb run for his life.
you look like a thumb from behind!
Lmao…that’s why you’re writing it on a chalk board 50 fucking times!

I can’t argue with that at all. Only thing I would say, though, is that Brissett got his stats in garbage time when it was already too little, too late.
But man, Brissett has excellent awareness in the pocket.
Eh did you see the play where fumbled? Hardly excellent awareness in the pocket
Brissett tried to do entirely too much on that play. A for effort, E for just taking the sack.
Jackson is a good run blocker, he’s not good in pass pro left on the edge, move him to guard, see how hunt does on the edge
Exactly.

I can support these moves in the interim.
Fuller is out. Brissett thrived late with Gesicki and Parker. I’m thinking time to start Preston Williams. Seems Brissett has a whole lot more Fitz than Tua in him.
Quite the opposite. Brissett is the check down king. He doesn’t like to go downfield. He is nothing like Fitz.
I’m talking mid-3rd quarter and after last game. Something was different.
It was only late 4th quarter garbage time. His history as a starter is one who doesn’t go downfield very often. It’s just who he is
The first 3 quarters of the Colts game, when it mattered, Brissett was 12 of 20 for 55 yds for a passer rating of 64.6.
The Colts were up 3 scores, and on the Dolphins last two drives during garbage time when the Colts defense played to kill the clock, Brisset got all those numbers that gave him a laughable 107 passer rating.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/about/qb-rating.htm
I’m making the assumption this site calculates passer rating correctly if you plug in the numbers.
do assumptions come with buiscuits & gravy?
lol
Everything should come with biscuits and gravy
he played great considering no run game or protection.
LOL
In the first half we had at least 3 drives at or around midfield, and two of those drives Brissett had time and an open receiver on 3rd down and threw it into the ground killing those drives. Short and easy throws too.
When the team is struggling, you have to make the best of limited opportunities, and Brissett failed to capitalize on those opportunities. That is a major reason why we only had 3 points through 3 quarters.
Add that to 0 points through 3 and a half quarters against Buffalo, and only 7 points against the Raiders through the 1st 3 quarters (excluding the defensive td).
In the 1st 3 quarters of 3 games, Brissett has given us a whopping 1 TD and 1 fg, and the fg was set up by a fumble that left us in fg range.
So Brissett has really only led the team to 1 TD in the 1st 3 quarters of 3 flipping games. Yes, the team is a mess. Yes, it isn’t even close to all Brissett’s fault. Yes, maybe Brissett would be ok if the oline and running game were better, but I can only imagine how badly Tua would be getting killed right now if those were his numbers regardless of reasons, lol.
The only thing Brissett has done to help this team win was he had a very good last 7 or 8 minutes against the Raiders.
CK why use logic when you’re talking to a baboon….oops. Lol!
It’s the stats man!
Brissett had 3.2 completed air yards per pass attempt. His receivers got the yardage. I’ve said it 100 time if any and I stand by it. Passer rating is a team stat.
So on Sunday what is your game plan for the O? Brissett will be the QB. And they will be real stout in the front 7.
Punt on 2nd down
Think realistically man. We don’t have Brandon Fields any more.
Alright 3rd down
LOL — least you appreciated the greatness that is Fields.
Like any stat, passer rating needs context to have meaning, and any single data point of passer rating can be wildly misleading.
It’s like the RB who has a 90 yd run and 24 one yd runs. That’s 25 carries for 114 yds and a 4.56 average per carry.
Pretty nice, or not, lol.

And breaking his WR’s finger when he dove to the ground trying to get one of those shit throws
My game plan is to do something other than watch the Bucs beat the hell out of the Dolphins.
But if I were to be planning the game plan I would start by not abandoning the run. Yes they are tops in run defense. Is it because they are good or is it because their secondary sucks and teams choose to pass on them rather than run into a wall?
Run & Play action passes. Stop trying to be cute with fake screens. Tell Brissett if it’s not there take off and get what you can.
I’m not a football coach, but given their secondary sucks and their run D is tops…… I’d be throwing on them. But that might just be me.
Realistically we have to attack the Bucs because 3 guys out. Problem is they have a great pass rush and Brissett is our QB
Secondary ^
The Bucs are dead last in passing yards yielded per game. Their secondary is very suspect. On Sunday, we can’t play too conservatively. Like Jay Feely said all game this past Sunday, take some shots deep with DeVante and Gesicki.
Problem is… will our O-Line give Brissett enough time to take some deep shots?
We might have to play max-protect against their front-6, as they drop an additional DB in coverage.
And we still wouldn’t be able to run against them.
I would leave whichever RB I have in the game at the time in for the entire series. Stop this swapping them every play BS!
Dolphins are 10.5 dogs, but makes sense since away and they won the Bowl last year. Balls Out is where I come from.
Gotta keep ’em honest, though. Otherwise, I agree: “balls out”.
I’m seeing the run as the draw unless yardage needed says different.
I don’t remember if it was the Pets or another team, but they basically didn’t even bother trying to run on the Bucs.
The way this wacky season has gone so far, we’ll probably run hog wild over the Bucs, get 300 yards rushing, and win by 20, lol. (not really)
Yes, it was the Patsies* who chose to barely run on the Bucs.
Thanks, I was drawing a blank. I agree with your sentiment we have to keep ’em honest and not abandon the run. Hopefully we can be somewhat effective early and not abandon it.
That was the Pats I think they ran for a total of 8 yards
Pats almost won.

I’m seeing the run as the draw unless yardage needed says different.
————–
Whatever it takes. If we become too 1-dimensional, we’ve already lost the game.
They’ll be more than happy to have 5 or 6 DBs out there, to compensate for their lack of Secondary play.
And I am encouraging one-dimensional. We’ll see what they do. And not saying the team won’t run.
I’m good with a 3:1 pass to run ratio… but we cannot abandon the run altogether.
We’ll see what their Defense gives us.
have to have a Gopher Tortoise removed from a vacant lot, $3500
It costs $3500 to remove it?!
yep!
WOW!
Are they setting it up at the Hilton? Agreeing to put its kids through college?
Why can’t you just pick it up and bring wherever?
because i don’t know how to catch one and the county is aware
I’m still thinking put in a box, drop it off at the door of some wildlife sanctuary and haven’t see it after solves the problem.
endangered species, has to be relocated, stopped the building process.
evidently you didn’t watch the game and see him having to break the pocket and run for his life just about every play. and our stout 50 yards of ground game.
blame it all on brissett like he’s the only one playing though.
what was i thinking?
This season is reminding me of our 2006 season, where Peter King picked us to go to the Super Bowl. We have weapons galore on Offense, but no O-Line.
Without an adequate O-Line, the passing game and running game collapse.
I literally said it wasn’t all Brissett’s fault. But we shouldn’t be bagging on the rest of the team and praising Brissett, because he is sucking hind tit just as much as nearly everyone else, lol.
Just because he doesn’t have 5 seconds to throw on every single play doesn’t mean he gets a pass for missing reads, missing open guys, throwing the ball in the dirt when he does have time, killing drives when our defense gives us a short field, not capitalizing on opportunities he does have, etc.
I also have walked back my “He effing suuucks” comment. I’ve said a couple of times, he might be adequate if the oline wasn’t a mess, but he’s still backup quality, which is why he’s a backup in the league.
I have revised my statement to “he sucks”. Dropping the emphasis of ‘effing’ and an accentuating ‘u’ or two. lol
ORob,
Any idea how much this tortoise weighs?
No i didn’t find it the clearing co did

Yeah, I think this tortoise weighs a LOT… not something you can just put in mere box, Bro!
My fridge came in a box. Think could be done. And largest Gopher Tortoise ever found in FLA was 33 pounds. We have boxes for that weight.
Oh! I presumed that the Gopher Tortoise became much larger. My mistake, and please read me below. The snapping turtle I came across was MUCH larger and heavier.
I think a lot of the time, us northerners presume much bigger, heavier in Florida than what is up here. Only exception? Dobson flies!
I may have told this story before, but here goes. About 20 years ago, I threw a house party that lasted until the early morning (per the usche). It was still dark, and my dude told me that he spotted what appeared to be a HUGE turtle, just across the street from me.
I didn’t believe him, and the party continued. By daybreak, I became interested in what he had told me. So, we went across the street to see if we could find it… if it was even still there.
HOLY $#!t, it was real, and it was still there… it was a snapping turtle, and I mean MASSIVE. I was drunk off my ass, so I tried to pick it up from behind. Seriously, this thing weighed HEAVY. Its head and neck were the size of a small tree trunk, and it looked so very, very old.
Thing started hissing at me… it was pissed! So drunken me (the animal lover that I am) decided that I was going to kiss it on the top of its head. As I did so (yes, I succeeded), it turned its head around to bite my face off. The Force was with me that day with my Jedi reflexes (LOL)!
Had that thing bitten me, I’d have no nose today, and probably worse. We all bid farewell to this magnificent creature, never to see it again.
Moral of the story: respect nature SAFELY.
And: these turtles/tortoises can become GIGANTIC. It’s not an easy task to ‘remove’ them from their natty habitats.
Lol, I had basically the same thing happen to me, but with a dog
The dog belonged to Steve Jones the summer after he won the Indy 500, and the house was Ty Cobbs house on Lake Tahoe
Almost bit your face off?
And there you were. Was it as big as this?
Maybe 1.5 times larger, actually, and with witnesses (PLURAL).
LOL @ Kaep!
I’m gonna go with you were drunk and how fish stories run and go with was just about that size. Still a big assed turtle.

All good, and totally understood where you’re coming from! But I’ll say this much: even Colin Kaepernick wouldn’t be able to pick/hold this thing up as his photo shows. And 20 years ago, I can all but guarantee I was stronger than he. This mofo was too big, too heavy, and altogether ergonomically impossible to pick up… not to mention its overly aggressive behavior.
I LOVE nature!
And too bad it hadn’t happened during the age of cell phone cameras, for I’d have photographic proof to share.
You were stronger than 6′ 4″, 229 lbs NFL player Colin Kaepernick? Don’t think it has come up, but did you play ball? Obviously Penn State ain’t a bad school for it.
The place we stay in Hawaii has sea turtles come up on shore. Those things probably weigh 500 lbs.
Which island? Hawaii is one of my favorite places on earth.
Maui is our go to. The biggest reason we haven’t been to a fest is because anytime we leave the house we always want to go to Maui.
We stay at a great place called Lokelani.
If you ever think about staying there, tell them Kong sent you, and I guarantee you’ll get the same price everyone else gets along with a weird look that most people don’t.
And that is my favorite island. Been there like 7 times. Started with Kaanapali and Kapalua, but guess as an older guy have gone Wailea, but I don’t even know if you go West Coast.
So you guys stay near Lahaina. I miss being near there.
Always west coast. Lahaina and kaanapali
Rob would like it. They have a three golf courses within spitting distance. When I’m there I always play (badly) the one nestled against the mountain. It’s absolutely beautiful.
West Coast of Maui is perfection my friend. Doesn’t mean coming to a Fest is not though. 🙂
Maui is my favorite, Big Island is special, Oahu fun, Kuai used to be remote and quiet.
Amazing snorkeling off Kaanapali….
Swimming with the sea turtles was incredible. I felt like fish food! Lol, so small….
Mrs K and I just loved it!
Yes! the snorkeling is unreal. At Lokelani, you can literally go out the backdoor of your condo (down the stairs for 2nd floor condos), walk the 50 yards of beach, and just swim out to great snorkeling.
During the right season, it’s also a perfect place to sit on the patio and watch the whales swim between Maui and Lanai.
Looking into the abyss of the ocean floor and beyond took my breath away, and to a different place….
does it respond like a dog? I doubt i can say, “come here boy” otherwise i would have no clue how to catch it.
he’s underground in a big hole
Put some peanut butter at the end of your nose and put your head in the hole
i wonder if he likes ham?

Here we go again, LOL. Yes, I was stronger than Kaep in my day (size matters?). Yes, I played ball.
Stanger, 6’4″, 229, doesn’t make one strong at face value. We’ve both seen 300+ pound O-Linemen struggle on the bench press, as we’ve seen the likes of 175-pound WRs and running backs put up more.
Stronger, I suppose, is a relative term, but when one can put up more weight than somebody who outweighs another by over 125 pounds, that’s called STRENGTH.
You are an amazing person then, or at least were 20 years ago. Could never imagine saying the same and I was an athlete (wrestling and rugby). You played football though. What position?
CB
What exactly are you trying to get at?
I’m asking about your athletic past. Did you play CB for Penn State?
When you’ve been kick off ORobs property and you are ready to hit the shell removal clubs
Back from shopping. Wasn’t all bad. lol
Stanger, snapping turtles get massive, especially alligator snappers.
I used to eat a lot of turtle growing up. I would go with my grandfather all the time running turtle lines. I remember one we got and could barely get it into the boat between the 2 of us. I was 14 and that thing looked like it could take my whole hand.
That turtle I’d pay $3500 to relocate. But the one ORob is dealing with is under 30 pounds. 1/8th the size. Big difference.

NO, I never saw the field as a CB for PSU, nor did I ever say that I had. I’ve stated here MANY times prior that my shoulder blew out in my freshman year. And it also cost me my volleyball career.
This should be common knowledge by now. INJURY cost me a potential life as an athlete.
You may rest your case, Stanger… this is nothing new. Most know this already. Either you weren’t reading, or you didn’t pay attention.
My bad for not knowing what apparently everyone else does. I take it you were looking to play PSU football before that. Did you get a scholarship or were you a walk on? It’s a football blog and this is big time football stuff.
Please don’t take offense cause I ask about it. New to me at least. And we’ve known each other for many years.
Ever get the feeling that you were being interrogated?
I’ve answered enough of your questions, all being TRUE, as most of the OGs here can attest to.
Just thought it cool that you were at least implying you went to PSU to play football, but understand you are a very private person. Up to you to share the experience or not.
RIGHT?!!
MF13 I know you make music, is this your song?
Bro, I LOVE Ralph Tresvant! He’s so much like me.
This is my fav from him…
And they cheat! Sorry….like a Bellicheat!
Lol…😃
Orob, You can get a permit to relocate up to 10 gophers by Yourself, and save a ton of money, versus paying someone else.
.https://myfwc.com/license/wildlife/gopher-tortoise-permits/10-or-fewer-burrows/
the best way to avoid gophers, is dont clear the lot until the build is ready to begin.
they wont nest in a heavily wooded or weeds area.
gophers will move into a freshly cleared lot and take over. then its hell getting them out
Orob, i know You are in real estate now, thats smart, glad to hear
but i wanted to mention to check Your county for tax deed auctions, and give them a try
i research the properties before the auction, to know which ones are suitable, and
many of the lots are in developments, and the developer is foreign owned, went bankrupt, and wont challenge the tax deed when you pay it.
this is how You can pick up suitable lots for pennies on the dollar, with nobody to challenge it
there is no risk, even if they did challenge and pay their delinquent taxes at the last minute, you get Your money back with a little interest with it, and can bid on many others
I got it 🤡🎼
Well don’t spread it, and for heaven’s sake don’t touch your eyes. 😉
😊
