I ust started growing broccoli sprouts, i’m on day 3, suppose to be super healthy. they are blooming
this is what i use
LOL @ broccoli and friends
i just have broccooli seeds i have to try that.
I still can’t believe that Steve Ross spoke to Watson. What a monumental jackass!!!!
I can, I’m going to stop bashing tua and let the season play out, but we have very crappy play from the QB position IMO and i believe that’s the whole reason behind our lack of success in all depts.
You can’t have it both ways. Either he gets credit for everything or you can’t blame him for everything, you have to pick one way to go.
Rob – Tell you what . . . Fitz was 4-3 with this team last season, and it’s pretty obvious last year’s team was much better than this year’s. Tua was 6-3 last year, same team. Your assumption just doesn’t add up.
tua wasn’t the reason for winning those games, it was our d and the turnover ratio, we were on a roll. that soon diminished with the raiders denver then buffalo when we had to rely on tua, fitz bailed us out of the raiders game.
it’s quite obvious tua’s problems, just look at his stats, he barely breaks 200 yards against a quality team, 90 percent of his games have sub par yardage. the reason is simple, lack of arm strength, opposing ds crunch the field, it affects the entire team.
You can’t have it both ways. Either he gets credit for everything or you can’t blame him for everything, you have to pick one way to go. Accidentally posted this as a reply to the wrong comment above.
you want credit? i give him credit for beating the cardinals last year, his best game as a pro. i want to see more of that, the cards just plated the wrong d on him, they spread out and gave him deep respect, that is no longer happening, teams now know how to play him and its working for them.

To each their own. We do restaurant food, but that might be about why my beer belly is about more than beer. 🙂

been doing that for years, i’ve changed in the last year or so, it was a hard change, but now i can’t go back, i cook my chicken and steak in an air fryer and get the boil in a bag veggies and nuke them, very easy, if i get hungry at night i just pop in a bag of broccoli, 6 mins lots of salt.
And that is awesome for you. Know you’ve lost a bunch of weight.
at least i have the miami heat
At least I have the NEW YORK KNICKS! Go NY Go NY GO!

He is an amateur playing and pretending to be a professional owner
on offense we play the width of the field but not the depth, we are not making opposing ds cover the entire field, all tua does is throw short passes, i watched a video and every rec is within 10 yards of the los looking to make a catch, we don’t stretch the field and that is the issue imo.
our rbs have no room to run due to the overloaded box

I can, I’m going to stop bashing tua
Bad News from the USATODAY power rankings:
“30. Dolphins (29): They’ve got the worst defense in the league and have run the ball fewer than anyone else. So why do we keep asking Brian Flores about QB Tua Tagovailoa? Maybe it’s time to broker a trade for Khalil Mack … or at least Larry Csonka.”
Good news:
“31. Texans (32): There might finally be blessed clarity on Houston’s quarterback conundrum this week … meaning the potential return of Tyrod Taylor, of course.”
Ross is incredibly immoral and amateurish, SMH
but at least he didnt compound his mistakes by taking watson
thanks for giving Tua reassurance by waiting til the final hour ross, hopefully Ross final hour comes soon
reminds me when he went to California and left Sparano hanging.
he is a boy among Men in NFL owners, jets fans make crummy Dolphin owners
DAVID; Just after Ross took control of this franchise he scheduled a meeting with Brian Bilick, who, previously, had coached the Ravens. Bilick thought he had a real shot at getting the Dolphins’ HC job. But, according to Bilick, the “interview” turned into a big Ross rant about the Ravens OT loss to Miami the prior season (which turned out to be Miami’s only win in a 1-15 season. “I had to pay Huizenga about one million dollars more for the franchise because YOU lost to Miami.” The former Ravens’ head coach was incredulous! Ross just wanted to tear into Bilick for several minutes. NO job offer was ever made because Ross had already decided on someone else for the job (Sparano??)–
The interviewer asked Bilick “Is it true you called Ross an “ASSHOLE” as you walked out the door?”
Bilick responded “No comment. It was personal.” But I’ll bet you the former Ravens coach won’t be attending Ross’s funeral.
thanks for the info, nothing really surprises me when it comes to Ross,
except a playoff berth, that would be SHOCKING
I remember this like it was yesterday! I was a huge advocate of hiring Brian Billick back then.
HERD: I’m a bit surprised that Marshall is a 1 and 1/2 point underdog at FAU this Saturday. The Owls were VERY LUCKY to beat UTEP last week. The game is on CBS Sports Network at 6:00 PM.
NO FAIR doing the laundry just before kickoff!!

I should have known that a leopard never changes its spots, in reference to Steve Ross. I seriously tried to give him a fair shake after bashing him for years alongside Old Dolfan and Gigi. Should have known better, SMH.
How is Tua to respond to this, knowing that our idiot owner tried to get Deshaun Watson to replace him… ya know, the guy with all of these sexual allegations against him? The NFL is going to tar and feather him, even IF he escapes justice in court (he won’t).
How funkin’ STUPID could Steve Ross be to DO this to Tua, our team, and our fans?
The clown owner needs to sell the damn team before he funks it up even more. This one really stings, especially now that Tua has bounced back very well after his broken ribs (which I guarantee still hurt him right now).
😡
I know I can’t spend time ranking on Ross and calling for him to sell the team because that’s an exercise in futility. I’m more annoyed with Grier and Flores and the product on the field.
I wouldn’t be against Tua having a sit down with all of them and saying hey if you’re not confident in me, maybe you can trade me to a team that wants me. He probably wont do that but I wouldn’t care if he did. He doesn’t deserve this nonsense he’s been put through basically since he’s been here.
Right on, man! I agree, but what happens when we draft a new shiny toy under the Steve Ross circus, and he does the EXACT same thing?
I realize we can’t force Ross to sell, but he’s the shit stain that just doesn’t wash out. Time to change the poopy pants.
We can’t control any of that. I don’t like seeing good people treated like shit though.
I was not a fan of drafting Tua. He’s just not my sort of QB, but he’s our QB now. I think a fair evaluation of him has to start with the reality that he still hasn’t even started a full season. He is still a rookie in terms of games played. Tua is a grinder. He is not a natural athlete that just wows you with his arm or legs or athleticism in general. He’s not a Wilson. He’s more of a Brees. He can make plays for you because of his grittiness and his brain….not because of a canon for an arm or his legs. Bashing him for what he isn’t without evaluating what he is; isn’t really helpful at all.
***
Tua is fast enough. He’s got a strong enough arm. Neither are great but good enough. Expecting him to throw 60 yard bombs all day or run around like Wilson is simply pissing up the wrong tree. Where he seems to excel is his preparedness, he’s studious, he seems to read defenses well, and he plays hard. I’d still rather have a Tom Brady-type QB, but that doesn’t mean Tua can’t be successful in the NFL. He needs to be evaluated this season and then you make your decision and roll with it.
Agreed, and exactly why Ross shat our bed once again.
Accuracy is one of his major strengths.
Personal theory: we didn’t dispatch any of our big-name players (such as Tua, DeVante, X, Byron, etc) because we’re going to need them in order to make the trade for Deshaun Watson next year.
Let’s face it, we’re going to be hearing about Deshaun to Miami for the foreseeable future.
I’m just glad it can simmer down this year.
I don’t know about that, Bro. I think we’re going to continue to hear about ‘when we get Deshaun’ after every single game we play for the rest of this season, win or lose. The media has been relentless thus far, and I don’t see it changing any time soon.
Yeah , the media that’s it 🤔
Pardon the misplaced comma(s)
MF13; By this time next year Watson will have been hit with multiple indictments. His passport, if he has one, will be confiscated. Assuming he gets bail, he’ll be required to be available for whatever hearings or trials may be forthcoming. So his availablility for games outside the state of Texas may be “IFFY.”
——————
The shit storm of negative publicity likely will force the commissioner of the NFL to place Watson on some sort of restricted list. EVEN Steve Ross would be reluctant to deal for a guy accused of SO MANY felonies.
Or would he??
Well, Steve Ross has shown that he wants Watson BADLY. Knowing Ross, he’ll deal for Watson anyway, and wait on Watson to get off the commish’s exemption list over time.

Yup, and I’m 100% with ya.
HERD: WHAT would you think if Ross went ahead and tried to acquire Watson anyway??
M13, but there will be no trade rumors anymore this year because it can’t happen. That’s why I said it will simmer down. I didn’t say people won’t still bring it up in some way, but the media can’t put out their trade rumors anymore this season.
Got ya bud.
Old Dolfan,
If you could see all of the Dolphins talk on Twitter… Steve Ross is all but being burned in effigy. Our fans are PISSED at Steve Ross, BIG TIME!!! And RIGHTFULLY so!!!
WE DON’T DO Twitter or Facebook in this house. One bad incident for Mrs. OD was more than enough.
As for the Henry Ruggs situation which is very sad because someone lost their life, the NFL offers every player a card with a phone# to call for a car on their dime. There is no excuse for any player to drive while intoxicated.
OD: I saw that the Herd’s opponent this week is FAU. We’ve not had a great year, not awful but not great. New head coach this year. I’ll be watching on Saturday.
As for Ross, I am pissed. I’ve told myself all the Watson talk is just the damn media doing what they do. Now I have to admit they were right. Really disappointing.
Agreed. Why did Ross want to talk with Watson? He gave Grier full power of football operations and then decided he needed to get involved. So maybe he doesn’t have full confidence in Grier to handle it. This organization is a total mess right now.
The way I figure it if Grier and or Flores are fired there is no way we trade for Watson in the off season. Whoever we bring in to be the GM and or HC will want to remake the roster in their own way. They will not want to deplete all their draft capital to land a QB when there is going to be a major roster churn going on. If Grier and are Flores are still here it is still not likely to trade for Watson because Tua was their guy but they may feel pressured to win now and pull off what I think would be a disastrous trade
The whole thing is a mess.
HERD: I’m hoping Women’s rights activists have a demonstration this Sunday at the “TOILET BOWL” featuring the NFL’s two worst franchises right now, the Fins and the Texans. Look for Ross’s “security people” to try to run off these demonstrators. If they succeed, a couple of them should be signed-up for the Dolphins’ defense.
———————
I’m going to sit down and draft a short message to Ross’s ticket agent concerning WHY, after over 50 years as a dedicated Fins Fan, I am NOT renewing my season tickets. I am going to ask her TO RECORD THIS MESSAGE and send it to Ross’s representatives. Ross’s pursuit of a serial sex pervert is the LOWEST POINT IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE. And, no, Rob, I’m NOT going to assume Watson is innocent until proven guilty. History will prove me right on this one!
I have to say, I wasn’t convinced all these massage therapists didn’t know what they were signing up for. Even if they did, it’s still not a great look for the face of your franchise. Settling all these claims doesn’t clean up his image.
HERD; I USED to think Robert Krapp was the most offensive, disgusting, owner in the National Football League. But that little “handshake” he had with that oriental “massage therapist” pales by comparison to STEVE ROSS’S PURSUIT OF A SERIAL SEX PERVERT!!
I REPEAT. ROSS’S PURSUIT of Watson is the low point in the history of this franchise. Can you imagine ANY worthwhile coach, or player, wanting to get involved with this unmitigated disaster??
ROSS has destroyed this franchise. And it will be MANY, MANY, YEARS before the stink of this affair blows away.
The attorney for Watson made a statement that they are nowhere close to settlement and that the Texans were trying to seek the Dolphins on something that wasn’t going to happen
Oops sorry. That’s the tweet within the tweet
And the Dolphins were asking for 22 settlements
What Number did we give Watson???????????????????
That lawyer sounds like he takes lesson from grammar from yoda
But what I think he means is that watsons lawyers wanted lower compensation and the Dolphins were willing to pay off these women….I don’t know…it’s really confusing
He is suggesting that the Dolphins were somehow pushing for settlement and that settlement wasn’t even close
He actually says some women wanted more compensation and others didn’t like the NDA
I’d give him 50.
As in “50 years to Life.”
🖕
Number 1….lol
Apparently Steve Ross’s phone number
What? You mean there was no trade?
Must have been all bullshit after all!
And yet I see some of you going off on some more rumors.
Maybe there was a lesson in there somewhere????????????
Flores and Greir will definitely get a 4th season, no way Ross fires them.
You’re probably right. Maybe Grier and Flores needed some pressure because they really haven’t had any the first two seasons – they got 3 offseasons and 2+ seasons to turn the team over and coach them up. That has a bad look right now. But if the team doesn’t get it corrected next season it all starts over again.
Like Herd said, regardless of what the facts are and all of these reports and/or rumors, it’s not a good look for the Miami Dolphins franchise. Having a bad season, Tua being caught in the middle of it, Watson’s character etc. None of it is good.
TIM; I refer you to my response to HERD’s 9:21 post.
IT will take MANY YEARS for the stink of this affair to blow away.
ROSS has destroyed this franchise!!!
Can’t argue with you that it’s a mess.
I’m really not sure I’ll be watching next year
That’s how bad it is. I know a few fans that feel the same way, me included. I’ll be back when you get your shit together. I don’t want to spend my time on the nonsense.
I’m struggling to figure out how I can stay engaged with this current team and this ridiculously mismanaged crap, but I’m starting to agree with the growing consensus that Ross is ultimately the biggest problem.
MANY WILL BOYCOTT THIS DISGUSTING FRANCHISE.
INCLUDING THE SOON-TO-BE FORMER Mrs. Steve Ross.
Pardon me while I go and throw up!
I’m OUT!!
Having read all of the above posts, I think most of us concur: Steve Ross has sunk this franchise to a new low.
I don’t even know what to do at this point. I will ALWAYS be a Miami Dolphins fan, but I’m not willing to support this team — as constituted in the FO and ownership — any longer.
Steve Ross created a beaurocracy, and now we reap what he’s sowed. It became so bad, that he felt HE needed to personally get involved. Another case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
Man… it’s bad right now. SMMFH
As if our record of 1-7 didn’t hurt enough… dammit.
And we traded our 1st round pick to the Eagles, in order to get Jaylen Waddle… who averages a ham sandwich per reception. SMMFH
Well we can’t really control who the owner is – so time will tell
I think we are just dealing with the reality that ownership is bad
If I were a cowboys fan I would hate Jerry Jones, and I think some cowboys fans balance that
So maybe we can balance being a fan while recognizing the owner is a moron
Right now the on the field product is pretty painful to watch too
It’s tragic to me, Pig. It’s just so saddening. 😦
Inevitably, Tua will ask for a trade after this season… and I hope he states that it will NOT be to the Houston Texans. Don’t know if he has that power, and if not, I can see him asking for his outright release.
And we know none of that can or will happen, so Steve Ross now owns Tua as a mere pawn. SMMFH
Does Steve Ross realize how little attendance he gets at home games this year? Cut in half for next year after his latest debacle.
Hey did you New Jersey boys vote today?
Now that this is becoming public it will make it very hard for us to make a play for Watson in the future. The optics are already horrible and would look even worse if we should pay off the plaintiffs and pull off a trade. We would be a pariah
Even if that is so (I don’t doubt ya, man), we just alienated Tua!
Maybe but players know this is a business and they can be traded. It’s up to be professional about it and deal no matter how distasteful it may seem. Tua seems like he has the makeup to deal with that but only time will tell
The ultimate goal of any sports franchise is to put out a competitive team that can compete for championships and entertain the fans. Once that fails, the media and fans start turning over every leaf and rock for scapegoats. If the team is playing well even with some nonsense around them, it will get overlooked. The Miami Dolphins are failing in all phases.
That ultimately starts with Stephen Ross. The NFL business is not the same as the big real estate business. It’s more personal and emotional. He’s allowing bad vibes to spread throughout the football team which is key to the entire goal. Fans are your investors.
Tua has no power where he gets traded – he doesn’t have that kind of contract, no rookie does.
Correct…

That’s no different than a lot of players. The Broncos just traded Von Miller and he had no choice where he goes even though he’s going to a good situation.
Braves hit that groove and rode it all the way. Pretty unlikely champs, but they beat 3 really good teams to get there.
They earned it.
The Braves victory pleases me greatly. Brings back memories of watching Hank Aaron taking batting practice during spring training in West Palm Beach.
Hank Aaron, may you rest in peace.

Wow how shocking!
Knicks at 5-2, did they bring back Dave DeBusschere?
They call him Mr. Thibbs
If you’re interested in seeing the Dolphins win a Super Bowl in the near future, invest in a playstation.
Do they win Superbowls in Madden? Does it require cheating?
They do when I’m playing.
Are you playing against the system or against other players?
Oh, and did you call Watson, or Tua?
I’m on playstation 2 so Watson’s not in the game. lol
So it looks like the deep state couldn’t control the state of Virginia.
The thing is, I don’t care if all the allegations are totally true or not. I still don’t want him. Any player who thinks they get to pick the coach, pick the GM….that’s a diva in my book. Hell no to that. The rest of it just makes it even more ridiculous to consider. 🤯
I am with her … oh wait a minute
The Saints version of Devonte Parker
So after months of bitching about the Dolphins organization not speaking about Watson.
Grier comes out and speaks .
Everyone screams liar????????
Why would we scream liar? He admitted they were exploring the trade. So I guess not all BS, huh?
Is this your way of mitigating that fact you were completely wrong as recently as 12 hours ago?
Everyone knew the team was looking at the trade (well, everyone that can put 2 and 2 together and get 4). We all knew it was affecting our current QB and probably the whole damned team. Charlie Fry admitted he had to change Tua’s routine because of the distraction. I’m glad they finally admitted it. They’re idiots for looing at trading for an accused sex offender with 22 law suits pending when they have a QB they just drafted.
What looks horrible is that Ross was essentially trying to fund the settlement of 22 separate lawsuits before the trade deadline which is a horrible optic. Almost anything that Grier and Flores says now is meaningless
I think that is exactly why Grier is speaking out. They are attempting damage control.
They attempted damage control on the Titanic too
Lol
Later maybe!
FFS!! FIRE HIS FUCKIN ASS NOW!! NOW!!!
NOW!!!!!!!!
I’m not going to wait to the end of the season or for two more games. This team is awful. I’m done with them. Until Grier is gone I will not watch another game or give a fuck.
See you all around.
FUCK THE DOLPHINS

SB,
I would love to invest in a new playstation, unfortunately the Dolphins may win a Super Bowl before I can find a place to buy a PS5, lol.
I use my PS2.
That’s awesome you have a ps2 that still works. I think it’s the best gaming machine ever made, and it’s the reason I’m a playstation fan.
I chipped my ps2 so I could play copied games, but unfortunately it stopped working ages ago.
I buy and sell vintage video games as a side hustle so I always have a few lying around.

A long time acquaintance of mine, a former Dolphins fan it seems, walked up to me wearing a chargers jersey today. I pointed to his #10 and said WTF? How long you gonna keep up this schtick? He was like nope, not a schtick Fuck the Dolphins.
I was like dude you’ve been a Dolphins fan for 30 years how can you do that?
“I’ve had enough….” (then we belabored all the mistakes over the last 20 years)
I don’t think I could switch like that I would just have to quit NFL all together
______
This is really funny to me considering the Chargers and their never ending failures to win a Super Bowl. At least switch to a team that’s won something in the last 40 years.
Funny how when people switch teams they never switch to one that is out of the playoff hunt. And assume he knows where the Chargers play.
Good grief, Ruggs was going over 150mph? I hate to wish anyone dead, but if that’s true, it should have been him instead of the other person. No excuse for that.
#CSI/NFL
Young pro athletes with a lot of testosterone flowing. One of the things scouts look for is aggression. And then add in a lot of money to buy supercars with.
I hope he ends up in prison for a long time. It’s where he belongs.
I agree, but the question to me is how long. Drove drunk a lot of times in my teens and early 20’s. Can say “wasn’t a big deal then” (and it wasn’t), but could have hurt someone even if never did. Never that fast….. but then wasn’t driving that car either.
The sentence range is 2-20 years for what they are apparently charging him with.
Wow, that’s crazy. Did he kill a passenger or another driver?
“Henry Ruggs III was driving 156 mph with a blood-alcohol content twice Nevada’s legal limit before his car slammed into the rear of a vehicle that burned, killing a 23-year-old woman,” who was the driver of the other car.
Just wow. I have a 23 yo daughter.
Wow….I may never have to worry about being a Dolphin fan again….lol.
Been in CR, Tamarindo specifically, since Sunday on the beach. Had to do a little work after my morning walk on the beach and thought I’d catch up on Dolphin blog news, too.
Now watching the rain and surfers and the tide has definitely come way in since this morning. These surfers are nuts. At low tide this morning you could see the lava beds on the beach and walk among them. Now, with higher tide the lava beds can’t be seen and these surfers our out there, falling and jumping off their boards. That’s fucking crazy.
Found Chili Guaro and Guaro Sours to be the local rum drink…..oh my. It’s about that time.
Pura vida!!!!
Sounds like paradise, Krishna. I’m jealous, lol.
It really is…..it’s amazing. Next, is La Fortuna in the rain forest and “mountains” for zip lines and hot springs, then, San Ramon for hiking and whatever, then probably back to coast to wind up a 3 week adventure. Planning for the next phase of life and this might be it.
Not necessarily where you are but have read stories about ex-pat US retirement communities in Costa Rico. Sounded like life could be a whole lot worse and more expensive. Least one I read said they had a bar that showed NFL games. So wouldn’t have to hand in your NFL fan card.
I did see the tail end of the WS last night at the Resort I’m at. So, there are sports. Soccer is the biggest. Not sure if they have the NFL ticket….LOL.
If there’s a reason to walk away from the Dolphins, especially this shitshow, this would be the place…..
Maybe Ross can pay Ruggs settlement and trade for him too
Krishna
I love tamarindo
One of my favorite places in the planet
Are you staying in a hotel
When I went there, years ago, there was only one resort, but a few smaller hotels
There was plenty of construction though
I’m at the Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort in a king suite with ocean front….fucking amazing!
I know that resort
It’s very nice
The beach is also amazing
Very flat
Easy to surf bc there are persistent small waves all day
Make sure you get the various seafood carpaccios at any of the local restaurants – they are delicious
Thank you, Piggy, will do!
Funny, lot of “American” type food….probably need to stop in at more LOCAL places during my adventure….I want authentic, but…. will probably cut loose soon. Got the local drink, so far…lol.
Skies clearing, work is done, time to go play……
Enjoy!
Ruggs got one call from Prison. He called Ross
Lol
Any thoughts on when that call will come? I’m thinking 4 or 5 years, And he’s only 22. Will an issue down the road, even if maybe 50/50 Ross will be around/owner of the Phins.
Given the reported facts Ruggs will be going away for vehicular manslaughter. He has played his last down of professional football
I’ll trust you on that. Done exactly one criminal case is my life. Got a buddy off for marijuana possession cause numb nuts had left a roach in an empty packet of of cigs in his car. He was lucky it was on the passenger’s side.
I read a report that he’ll get 2-20 years for the vehicular and 1-6 for the reckless driving, and Nevada has a law that says DUI resulting in death- no parole. So 3 to 26 years with no parole on the majority of the time. He’s got money, so he’ll probably get something stupid like 5-7.
I normally scoff at maximum penalties. For instance, classification of a Class One misdemeanor in Virginia (where I practiced) is up to one year in prison. Normally ends up in a month or less or a couple weekends picking up highway trash. But for sure in this case 150+ MPH is begging for a maximum.
My heart goes out to you Wyoming.
LOL, Really? This was my first thought when I saw it this morning.
You are a kind and gentle soul Rock….. unless you are a Braves fans and I missed it.
Nope! I’m a dick by nature. LOL
Although growing up in SFL we didn’t have any MLB baseball teams. We were sent the feeds from Yankees and the Braves. We didn’t get any other baseball until world series. I HATE the Yankees so i was by default a Braves fan…
Krishna
I have a funny story from my time in Tamarindo that highlights my general social dysfunction
I don’t know if the dance/club bar is still across the street form the resort, but when I was there there was a restaurant that converted to a open air dance space in the evening
Really fun space. All the tourists went there. They played a lot of salsa dancing
And if you don’t mind me tooting my own snout, I will tell you I have some moves
And it was super easy to ask a lady to dance
Literally you just hold your hand out in front of them inviting them for a dance
So it was really a fun time
But I messed it up
One day I went snorkling in the daytime. But I had a really bad sunburn on my bald head to the extent that when I went it the saltwater my head stung. So the guy who ran the snorkeling adventure who was bald as well had a solution and lent me this thing for my head – was great bc I enjoyed the snorkeling and say a bunch of fish and manta rays and all kind of stuff. So super cool guy
Anyway later that night I went to the salsa club
I was shaking my trotters and such
And it was crowded that night
All the sudden this big hairy man hand was presented to my face. I was stunned! I like women dude – why is this guy asking me to dance. I must have felt so awkward I didn’t take the time to evaluate my surroundings
So I was like “no man, I like women, I’m not interested”
And I was like really rude – not like angry and fighting pose or anything, but not my usual smiling jovial self
So the hand pushes through the crowd so I can see the person it is attached to
And the guy says “no…I don’t want to dance. How’s your head?”
And I was like “ohhhhhhhhh….it’s the snorkeling guy….shit….Eh…thanks for the thing for my head….eh…sorry…”
He stopped short of telling me to fuck off before he walked away. Apparently he was just trying to shake my hand, not dance with me.
Oops
I left early that night…
LMAO — so you thought you had the local customs down till you didn’t. Great story, even if am sure you regret the situation….. isn’t that the playbook for all great stories?
Lmao…..can’t dance, so probably safe in that regard. Wish I could speak the language though…..some beautiful dark skinned women. Oh my!
Jackson added: “Although I made some mistakes at tackle, I think I’m still a great tackle. Me moving to guard looks like he’s a crappy tackle” but that doesn’t bother me.
It is worse than we thought. Someone needs to step in right away to save this young man. He has obviously lost it mentally and needs help!
“I think I’m still a great tackle” REALLY!?!?! When were you ever a great tackle?
Delusional behavior needs to be treated quickly before he injures himself!
Or they drafted him so raw at that position and the coaching is soooooo bad that he was naturally going to fail, but he believes in himself yet. With the way this team is being run, who knows???
No – I think that’s spot on Bookman
No question he was raw when drafted
That was what all the experts said about him as a prospect
And I think it’s a safe assumption to assume the Dolphins coaching hasn’t done a great job of anticipating who is ready and who is not
And he’s probably confident in his ability and wasn’t really a disaster at USC, which is a completely different level
I’m holding out hope for Jackson and I’m glad he is confident in himself…bc we know the Dolphins organization isn’t going to put the work in with young prospects
Now, at a craft brewery on the beach….beer is pretty bad here, few choices, too.
Drinking a craft “Belgian”….Best I can find so far.
LOL
Lmao…cats are amazing!
I’ve got vacation envy reading Krishna’s posts. Doesn’t help that my vacay this year got totally f’ed up by my sister’s daughter. Have one for me Krishna! 🍻
Will do, Herd!

Hardest decision today was do I put a swim trunks on or where shorts. Went with the trunks…lmao.
Sounds like a Piggy day: pants? No pants?
Pretty much! 🤣
Regaee music in Spanish is pretty cool. Just chilling!
Guess I should say central American regaee is cool….what a day so far!
Obviously gonna change, but Philly currently has 3 picks in the top 9 of the 2022 draft, including ours at #3. Don’t think ours will end up there, but in the top 10 a good bet. Our San Fran pick is now at #13.
““I like the people in this building, I love the people in this building. We have the right types of players. We have a talented group, a young group, a developing group, guys who give great effort, prepare the right way. I enjoy coaching this group. There are a lot of the right ingredients here.”
— Brain Flores almost giving a plea for another year.
I can have a lot of the right ingredients. Doesn’t mean I can cook.
True. He does have a point that the roster is young and hopefully developing. Doesn’t mean he has to coach it though.
Yep…my kitchen has everything for a cook, but I’m not that…lol
see 28:39 of the video, this is a major problem IMO
Missed the 4:20 mark and only missing ingredient….lol

Nice to see Sieler in there. Some of you may be familiar with #4.

How the fuck did Parker get in there? No minimum number of plays?
“min. 25% snaps”
I like Parker, so long as he is healthy of course.
Never is….that’s why I thought beginning of season we just replace our entire WR unit for players that play in the game.
E-mail just got. Sorta sad, but guess they wouldn’t send such out if didn’t work.
——————————————–
There are only 50 “Let’s Go, Brandon” shirts left!
Conservatives across the nation are ordering their shirts to stand up against Joe Biden and Big Tech censorship by the boatload, AND WE’RE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND.
We’re reaching out to our top patriots only to let them know our inventory is almost gone because when we run out, they’ll be gone forever.
Stand against the Radical Left today by claiming your shirt before they run out!
Know what’s “sorta sad”? The volume of “FUCK TRUMP” merchandise that was sold. At least “Let’s go, Brandon” is kid-friendly, not vulgar, and peacefully protesting Joe Biden.
Not in favor of Fuck Trump shirts either. Just didn’t get an e-mail about those today. Are you in favor of either of them?
I’m in favor of PEACEFULLY protesting.
Did you EVER get an email about “Fuck Trump” merchandise?
Never got an e-mail about a Fuck Trump t-shirt. But then I’m on Republican lists. So makes sense.
most trump shirts i’ve seen has an S on the chest.
O-Rob — if was going to make a Trump tee to sell would be silhouette of him coming down that escalator in Trump Tower. Would be both classy and meaningful. The instant he really hit the political scene.
Lol

Might I respectfully ask ya… why did you say “sorta sad” regarding “Let’s go, Brandon”?
Cause it it so combative just like the Fuck Trump tee you mentioned. Wish people would just get a long. Don’t you?
Agreed.
Lmao, so sad, but seemingly true!
LOL
Stanger, I’m good… was just wondering why ya thought what ya thought. Not trying to get into an argument with ya tonight. I might be an asshole, but I’m a cool asshole… I still respect ya, man… even when we disagree.
Lmao, “cool assholee”.
I addressed Mr. Stanger, not YOU. Stay out of it, please and thanks.
Lol!
Didn’t you know the internet is open to all….lmao
Not much mystery to what I think. Believe both the far left and far right are out of control and angry while I sit in the rapidly shrinking middle where the common sense is. And I’ll bash AOC as readily as Matt Gaetz. You can use that as the playbook for pretty much anything I say.
Stranger, just curious why you feel the need to post what could be considered a political post out of the blue like that? You seem to do it all the time then wonder why you get reactions.
Cause I like politics. Used to be my job. And lots of folks talk politics, including on this board. What I did not like was personal attacks. Do you see some reason for them?
And that was only out of the blue cause that e-mail hit my screen. Not like I hold them and wait for the right time.
Fair enough, I just think politics has pretty much ruined this blog, and you seem to be one of the primary contributors to new discussion topics. Carry on
Get a lot of people don’t like politics on the board, but was my post about “Let’s Go, Brandon” shirts really all that tumultuous? This has always been an open board.
Never mind Stanger, you never post anything that a person might suspect is just baiting others.
I sense that was sarcasm. And am sorry you feel that way. Cause yes what I put out is influenced by my own take on things but isn’t that true of us all? And like told you yesterday, most of my non-football posts are non-political. Who am I baiting with those? Try to put out interesting items for people to read.
Never mind, apparently it is just me.
It’s not just you bm11…
Lol…so it seems if you’re rooted in your ideology!
?
?….I have never seen anything stangerx posting anything to get twisted about…yet some of you do…?
Great
Krishna — my main goal always is to put out items that will get people talking. Maybe that backfires sometimes.
Stangerx, I get it. Some don’t and twist themselves with their righteousness. It’s sad mostly because most come with an agenda v an open mind.
I was at my mom’s this past weekend celebrating my bday and my niece’s which is two days after mine. Saturday evening was trick or treat night in my hometown. We had one kid dressed as Trump and one as Biden. They weren’t in the same group. 😂
Being a smartass, I had to say Let’s go Brandon, not to the kid, more as a joke for my sister and niece. Had to spend 15 minutes explaining it to my mom. That was fun. 🙄
Herd, about to have a double Chili Guaro in your honor and request. Cheers!
On a beach, far,far away….lol.
I’ve never had one of those. Cheers! Enjoy!
Well….I’ve never had one of those until yesterday! You know, fuddy-duddy stuff…lmao.
Had to work today, so became connected. I will unplug again after tonight…lmao!
Everyone is so triggered here. Sucks that our team sucks so bad that the team isn’t even worthy of talking about. BTW, is talking about a stupid t-shirt really delving deep into politics? Holy fuck we’re all getting hypersensitive here
Mike,
I’m pretty happy after yesterday and I’m surprised more aren’t from one side of the aisle. Our team is pretty worthless right now so maybe we need music video night…every night lol. Football is supposed to make us forget bad things going on but our team really doesn’t believe in that philosophy lol.
Obviously we talk about everything under the sun here. But when you know a post or reply will probably cause some tension, come off as insensitive or insulting, we’re all better off refraining from posting it.
That said I don’t get offended by what Stanger posts. He posts in a civil way even if you disagree. My politics are pretty close to Stanger even if not on everything, so maybe I’m bias.
We should all try to help this blog be more fun and less volatile.
Lmao….
Your first paragraph was a cop out, then you posted an mf13ss-esque cover up….lol.
Say what you mean, mean what you say. Oh my.
Triggers? For people who live their lives with an agenda, side, or righteousness, perhaps…lol.
Really? Okay. Was trying to be peaceful.
If you don’t like stangerx posts, skip them and don’t engage. Pretty simple. Stop playing the victim! WTF?
I was baited…are you a fish? Lmao!
Welcome to the new way of life on the internet. My views are the only ones that are right. If you have your own opinion, well now I’m outraged and you must be silenced. Both sides, every issue doesn’t matter. Nobody can change people’s minds and you’ll drive yourself crazy trying to.
Seems alot of folk now love to go to their social media of choice just to enrage themselves. I don’t get it….
As far as posting stuff here, doesn’t bother me, but that is just me. I can filter it and I don’t get overly concerned one way or another. I don’t think anyone wants the mods to start banning things, so maybe just choose to not be involved?
Couldn’t agree more ER.
For many personal reasons (including losing both my parents in the last 4 years, moving house etc etc) I’ve been very busy and not posted much for too long, but I do find some of the stuff on here much akin to a zoo crossed with a kindergarten at times. For my personal taste, “bustin balls” steps way over the line to personal attacks too often. But then there are a lot of posters who also do this:
https://twitter.com/TheoShantonas/status/1456070263771123712
As for US politics, I have no interest whatsoever in watching people either side of the political fence throw Molotov cocktails at each other. It’s just dull for me – I don’t even follow UK politics at anything other than a superficial level.
All that being said, I still read almost everything on here, even belatedly sometimes a month or more old and sometimes I scroll faster than others – mostly because I respect and like a lot of the characters on here and all opinions expressed hold merit, though I’ll admit to gravitating to some more than others (no names no pack drill). I also think (imho) that some things in life that many held dear – respect, dignity and tolerance – are slowly being eroded from society as a whole and life is poorer for it. Fwiw, I have noticed a similar gravitation on this board, but nowhere as extreme as the world taken as a whole (mostly because there are more thinking people who constitute the residue of the original mob).
Finally, “fandom”. It is probably no coincidence that US followers of a team are referred to as fans, but in the UK, supporters. This is not a dig at any fan who becomes disaffected with anything they are a fan of, but this side of the pond, you follow a team for life, unwaveringly, through thick and thin. I paid £116 for a ticket @ Spurs stadium, London to see the fins (+ hotel for 3 nights and associated costs). Don’t regret it for a second. I’d go to all home games too if I had choice (and I appreciate lots of mob members have attended many or all of the 10 fests). I also bought 1000 shares in my local soccer club for £2000 – the shares have no value, but they were bought as part of a move to become a fan owned club (like the Packers) to protect the club from predators who would seek to take over the club for financial gain and ruin it. It’s an investment I’ll never be able to cash in but one which I feel priveleged to make to “support” my club. I know there is no parallel to US “franchises” worth billions and owned by the super-rich, but just a different view of being a “fan/supporter” (some would also say idiot!)
Our fins are an embarrassment again. It is mentally exhausting supporting a team like this, but I’ll still watch every game (I now have an internet feed which gets all US tv channels live – local feeds for regional CBS, FOX stations etc). I saw a real improvement in our fortunes last year and hoped that the trajectory would remain upwards. Sadly not …… we’ve tanked. I really don’t know why (other than it’s a systemic failure) and follow the civilised debate on here with interest. I do tend to agree with the current consensus that the culture comes from the top down and with Ross in charge (or not as the case may be) we are almost certainly doomed to fail unless he happens to catch lightning in a bottle and hit upon a front and back office team capable of running an NFL franchise effectively (which will be pot luck, not shrewd management). He hasn’t yet and the constant 3-5 year reboot is becoming exhausting. I wouldn’t touch Watson with a barge pole personally. I like Tua. He has exactly the right personal character traits this moribund franchise needs and if he can raise his game to an elite level we have the most important piece in place. As ever, though, since Marino was here, the fear is we’ll get part of the jigsaw in place but not complete the job and keep falling short. How many great defenses have we wasted and how many great players have we shipped out? I would also add the caveat that 31 other franchises are trying to lift the VL every year too ….. but ……
Since D seems to be one of the most disaffected posters, I’ve ended up typing a D-length post but it felt good to get some stuff off my chest.
Hope none of this has caused too much offense or stirred the pot too much. Just firing off some thoughts and observations in peace and respect.
Keep the faith fellas even if it means taking a break and stepping away for a while. Our day will come eventually. I’m 60 now, so it better be fecking soon ……….. whilst I’m still young enough to travel and experience it.
Cheers
UK
And ladies (plural) of course if more than Herd reads here!
ukfinfan — seeing you here was the highlight of my day, so far at least. You are missed. Least we had faux you (Damian from Cornwall) at the Fest to get how much we do miss you. And could not be more sorry about your parents.
Thanks Stanger. I know how much you miss your mum. My relationship with her was as special as yours with your mum. Mine was also one of the angels on earth. She tended to dad every day for two years in a care home, broke her hip in going to see him, then was diagnosed with lung cancer. The treatment temporarily abated the inoperable cancer, but ultimately, it mutated and the bastard mutation killed her. I have nothing but admiration for Ken who fought his battle so bravely. I fecking hate cancer. Life goes on. It’s time the Fins brought some brightness into all our lives though?
Could not be more tough. My Mom had dementia and then cancer. Was there the night she died. My Dad was gone not so long after. In a weird way think not having to care for her anymore took the will to live out of him. But guess the circle of life. Hard as was on me feel much more sorry for parents who bury their kids.
Couldn’t agree more. No parent should have to bury their child but plenty do.
IF you want to know what’s wrong with your miami dolphins please go to the 28:33 mark of this video, this is something i’ve been saying all along.
HELLLLOOOOOO~
The people on this blog who complain the most about politics being discussed here are the biggest reason why things turn bad in the discussions and it’s all the Trump fans. I have no problem saying it, because it’s 100% true.
“Let’s go Brandon” is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen in politics in the last 10 years and I’ve watched the screeching in the street when Trump was elected and those pussy hat marches. If you’re the good party in the politics then act like it.
Don’t complain that one side is doing something and then justify what your side does when it’s just as bad or worse. It’s middle school nonsense.
Definitely an unbiased opinion….I agree the Let’s Go Brandon thing is stupid. Maybe when most of the nation is saying FUCK JOE BIDEN, we’d have some honest discourse in our media over the utter incompetence of that man’s regime. I haven’t seen anything but propaganda for the worst president in my lifetime and I saw some of Carter. If anything thinks Trump being uncivil and saying stupid things is comparable to someone destroying our economy and raising inflation to 30+ year highs …well that’s just about as stupid as Let’s Go Brandon. Pretty hard to hide the empty shelves, high gas, low employment and other issues he’s doing NOTHING to fix. But yeah…let’s go Brandon is dumb……
You see how you just ignored what I said and made it about Joe Biden? That’s what I’m talking about. Trump was not a good president. Joe Biden is worse, but that doesn’t excuse the failure that was Trump.
My post was also about the behavior of a few of the people on this board and less about Trump and Biden.
The Fuck Joe Biden chants are ridiculous. It’s like social media out in the open. I think it’s disgusting that people chant fuck our President, it’s embarrassing. The President of the United States deserves a certain level of respect despite what you might think of him. People think they can just do or say whatever they feel because they’re dissatisfied. Social media is slowly eroding (maybe quickly eroding) any decency and respect people have for one another. Trump was a big part of that, because he behaved the same way. He didn’t like something, he lashed out and whined about it constantly. That behavior was never acceptable from that type of office. I hate Joe Biden but prefer that he hides in his little hole rather than constantly posting nonsense on social media and whining like a pair of balls in public. He was never Presidential as a human being, not for a second.
100% agreed Mike. Particularly the outward disrespect for office – regardless of if it’s Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, whoever. Let’s have some decorum as a society.
I think mass ‘social media’ has not played out well for humanity as a whole, and I’m actually increasingly against it in it’s current iteration. As some of you know I’m in the biz (software developer), so that’s saying something. Also because I’m in the biz (doesn’t necessarily make me any more informed or insightful than others), I get how much it can all be manipulated (by either side, domestically and beyond). When it is estimated that 15% of all Twitter accounts are bots, and I guarantee that number is lowballing it, but Twitter doesn’t do much of anything about it because a reduction in ‘users’ will hurt their stock/bottom line, what would anyone think about the quality of information and discourse on such a platform (same goes for all the other mass social media sites)? Not good.
“I think mass ‘social media’ has not played out well for humanity as a whole”
The internet gave the common man a voice. Turned out I didn’t like what I heard, and yes that goes to both extremes.
UK, great to see you. Sorry about your parents, God bless.
Glad you made it to the game over there not to be outdone our beloved fins gave us the same ending for the fest that you had, woohoo.
By the way, it’s bad enough talking football with these clowns never mind politics oy lol
Thanks Son.
Yessiree – the fins keep finding new and wonderfully bad ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, when they were doing the exact opposite last year and even against the Pats in game 1 ’21. Glad you all enjoyed the Fest too. On a side note, my g/f and I had a reservation for a steak dinner after the game in London. Had it gone to OT, I would have missed it and my g/f would have been sat twiddling her thumbs on her own for up to an hour (she went to see Diana’s wedding dress instead of the Fins). I knew we would find a way to lose, so in the end I’m glad we found it in regulation time. As an aside on that play, the fins had 3 men on the goal-line before the TO. When they came out they only had 2. So they adjusted of sorts but still allowed the completion and called the TO. C’est la vie. Things can only get better starting Sunday. We are 2-0 vs the Texans on off-loading Tunsil for a zillion picks and walking away from Watson. Let’s make it 3-0 now.
SB7,
You stated the politics complaints is 100% Trump supporters and that’s a pretty wide brush, isn’t it? It may be a few Trump supporters but most have been very controlled in not talking about the daily foibles of the president. Far less is said than anti-Trump statements during his mistakes. Did you just not post here much from 2017 until Biden? Did you forget David posts here and he hates Trump? Again, 100% sounds ridiculous.
You mentioned LGB as the dumbest thing you’ve seen in 10 years which seems crazy. It’s not nice and is pretty dumb but dumbest thing you’ve seen? Do you just come here? Your statements are one sided hyperbole so I was just calling it out.
Mike,
I agree about Trump. He’s a narcissistic asshole and really made the US look bad with his ‘bravado’. I definitely did not like him as a person.
On the rest, I disagree. Communication is all about both sides being able to present their view. The media silences one side. How can normal people show disapproval of a clueless puppet? Not in polls. Those have natural limitations purely based on who responds online. Media won’t interview them. Media even lies when they speak ip. How else can you be heard? A representative in Washington? They already have media friendly politicians they exclusively use. LGB is crude snd stupid. Too many people think it’s witty. But…it’s s damn effective expression of disapproval at our propaganda arm and Joe Biden. Don’t blame people,who have had their communication outlets limited by elitists, when they use whatever outlet they can to be heard. I also completely disagree that a certain “king” must be respected. Our forefathers didn’t respect King George and I’m not going to respect King Dementia either. If it bothers our political elite and American aristocracy….well that just sucks. I’ll be devastated by their disapproval.
I’m so wonderfully dissociated from politics, that I have no clue what the ‘Brandon’ thing is, lol.
Great to see ya on the board, UK. Sorry to read about your parents. Glad you got to see the game; I just wish our Fins had gotten a win for ya.
Thanks Kong. The only Brandon I know is Marshall! 😂😂😂
LOL, good ‘ol Brandon. I remember that jersey burning quite well.
Good to see you on UK – sorry to hear about your parents.
I like that you can buy ‘shares’ in your local club to reduce the chance of predatory owners crashing in and cashing out. As an example I hear there’s not a lot of love for the Glazer family by Manchester United supporters because they feel that’s what was happening.
Thanks Twice. The Glazers are not well liked here by Utd fans for exactly that reason but at the top level, Utd are big enough to keep rolling. My local club turns over about £3-4M p.a. and owns it’s own stadium. It is a target to property speculators, asset strippers, money launderers etc and with a broad fan ownership, the sharks can never get a controlling interest to do as they please. A club only 8 miles down the road had exactly this happen to them. A new owner, leveraged buyout, spend, spend, spend, pulled out and disappeared, club sold for £1 to asset stripper then went into liquidation. All the money in soccer is in the PL. Lower league clubs eek out survival year to year. My club has sold several players just to pay tax bills to HMRC. Sad state of affairs.
Yes a sad state of affairs – it would be a double punch to the gut to not only lose a team you root for (possibly for generations in a family) but also receive the economic hit of the team being gone to the town/locality. Glad you have some protection against that.
My condolences UK. I’m very sorry to hear of the loss of your parents. I’m also very happy to see you here, please do make it a regular thing.
Thanks Herd – I know you lost your pa too. Look after your ma (as I’m sure you do).
