If/when Minnesota Vikings RB gets released, the Dolphins should just sit back and read about while drinking their morning coffee, as if it’s just another news story, a story they’re not particularly interested in. Cook is a nice player, but he will be asking for money we don’t have, and frankly, I think the guy we drafted in RD 3, De’Von Achane can provide the playmaking ability Cook would bring. It’s not that Cook isn’t a very good player, he is, but RB isn’t our problem. Mostert, Wilson and Acahane can give you the production that Cook can give you. We’d have to overpay to get Cook, some team who really needs him will do that. It happens every year. I feel that Cook is more duplication, although at a higher level, but Cook is also 28, so you overpay for a 28 year old running back? No thanks!
Raheem Mostert actually averaged more yards per carry (4.9 – 4.4) than Dalvin Cook last season. Over their careers, the disparity is greater in favor of Mostert. Cook is not a grinder, a guy that wears down opposing defenses, he’s a similar type runner to what we have. I know we’re close, but we need cap room to sign our own players like DE’s Christian Wilkins and Zach Sieler. Cook is a luxury we cannot afford. We need to also get more from our draft picks. We barely used our first pick last season, LB Channing Tindall. We spent a 3rd RD pick, once again our 1st pick in the draft, on RB De’Von Achane, and RB is the easiest position to transition to the NFL from college football. This kid is going to be electric, and he will keep both Mostert and Wilson fresh. RB by committee is the NFL way now, so few teams rely on one stud back, and the ones that do usually end up losing them for a spell and then need to change their offensive scheme to be competitive.
Our offense is all about our playmakers on the outside, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and then contributions with whomever makes the roster cuts, Berrios, Wilson, Anderson and Ezukanma. We added a lot of blocking at the TE position, gone is the finesse TE Mike Gesicki, and TE’s Durham Smythe, Eric Saubert, and Naples fave Tyler Kroft are here to block. Not a one of them is a dangerous receiving threat, and Head Coach Mike McDaniel vowed to run the ball more, and we will, but between Mostert, Wilson and A-Chain, you won’t miss Dalvin Cook. Who knows, maybe either Tanner Conner of 6th RD draft pick Elijah Higgins will be the receiving terror similar to what George Kittle provided for McDaniel’s offense with the SF 49ers.

Dolphins to sell premium tailgating experiences in Paddock Club
Mike Masala follow
June 22, 2023 12:00 pm ET
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has done a lot to make sure that fans attending games and events at Hard Rock Stadium have an outstanding experience, as he’s built up around it, making the Miami Gardens location an attraction in itself.
Now, for upcoming Dolphins games, the team will offer “premium hospitality experiences” inside the Paddock Club, according to Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal.
The Paddock Club was originally built for the F1 Miami Grand Prix that they’ve held for the last two years.
According to Fischer, the team will be selling 18 garage bays on a full-season basis at $15,000-$20,000 per game ($150,000-$200,000 for the year).
Each bay is 1,600 square feet of air-conditioned garage with parking for four vehicles and space for roughly 50 attendees. They’ll also offer food and drinks as well as a variety of other offerings.
“The space exists, and one of the things we wanted to do was create assets that complement each other, and find creative ways to those assets to create value for each other,” said Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel.
Additionally, there will be two new spaces that will fit about 2,800 guests between them. These will be available for season-ticket holders and will cost $125-$500 per person, per game ($1,250-$5,000 for the season).

Dolphins TE says he’s gained 10 pounds of muscle since the end of last season
Mike Masala
June 15, 2023 7:40 pm ET
Over the last few months, the Miami Dolphins have essentially overturned their entire tight end room.
Miami allowed Mike Gesicki, the team’s top tight end in recent years, to hit free agency and sign with the New England Patriots. They traded 2021 third-round pick Hunter Long to the Los Angeles Rams as part of the package to acquire cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Special teams contributor Cethan Carter was cut before the league year officially opened and has remained unsigned. And, Adam Shaheen, who missed all of 2022 after a knee issue popped up during a physical, also remains an unsigned free agent.
Only two tight ends remain from last season – Durham Smythe and Tanner Conner. The former is expected to be the team’s starter while the latter will be battling through training camp with Eric Saubert, Tyler Kroft, Elijah Higgins and Julian Hill for opportunities in the regular season.
Conner was an undrafted free agent in 2022 after a collegiate career at Idaho State where he played wide receiver. Like Higgins, this year’s sixth-round selection, he made the transition to tight end at the pro level.
Unfortunately for the former Bengal, he failed to catch a pass in his rookie season. However, in preparing for his second year, Conner told the media at last week’s minicamp that he’s put on roughly 10 pounds of muscle that can be useful for the position.
“Last year was a very stressful year, and I wasn’t eating as well as I should have,” Conner said (transcribed by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel). “So this year, this offseason, I made it a goal to be more routine with my eating. I got in the weight room. I did my whole offseason here with (head strength and conditioning coach Dave Puloka) and the guys.”
It’s not just about the physical stuff, though. Conner also is starting to pick up the intricate aspects of the NFL and Mike McDaniel’s playbook that make adjusting to the league extremely challenging, especially while changing positions.
“Coming into it this year, way more comfortable,” Conner said. “I feel like the game has slowed down for me, at least from a knowledge standpoint. It’s been a big learning curve for me and last year was really rough, but it’s good to see the first-year labor finally start to see improvement this year.”
Luckily for Conner, the role that he’s best suited for appears to be a wide-open competition. He’ll work with but also against Higgins to be the “pass-catching tight end,” potentially playing a role similar to what Gesicki did in 2022.

I’m rooting for Tanner Conner, hoping his efforts are rewarded with great results.

Tua Tagovailoa and his jiu-jitsu coach watch film of his sacks to improve how he falls
Posted by Michael David Smith on June 22, 2023, 2:22 PM EDT
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been training jiu-jitsu this offseason to learn to fall more safely and avoid his head hitting the ground, which caused at least two concussions last season. And part of that training has entailed watching film not with a football coach, but with a jiu-jitsu coach.
Tagovailoa said he and his jiu-jitsu trainer have been rewatching the film of all the times he was knocked to the ground last season with an eye toward improving the way he falls and keeping his head from hitting the turf.
“It wasn’t tough to watch,” Tagovailoa said, via ESPN. “I want to get better at everything that I can do to help the team win games, and I know the biggest one is my health, staying out on the field. And so looking at the film, I was able to watch that with my jiu-jitsu coach, and we were able to kind of relive the scenario in how I got tackled, how I fell. And it wasn’t just one particular game. It was multiple ways that I got taken down and how I could have prevented that.”
If Tagovailoa can prevent further head injuries, he has the potential to become one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. And if it works, jiu-jitsu training may become mandatory for quarterbacks around the NFL.
Watching “…all the times…”
as in “not only the times I was concussed but ALL OTHER times I was taken to the ground as well” Conspiracy theorist….
Lol…yeah right…omfg
what do you mean “yeah right” that is the EXACT meaning of the sentence written. Not some hidden meaning about other concussions.
ROCK….I thought you understood what I meant…guess NOT…lol.
I think it’s ADMIRABLE of Tua to study ALL of his falls/hits to try and learn how to minimize the punishment WHEN he does get touched…going above and beyond just trying to limit injury to his head….
Seem serious to me…and, wasn’t he with his agent?
HOW WILL TYREEK HILL’S ASSAULT CHARGES AFFECT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MIAMI DOLPHINS OR NFL
Posted by Sunil Sonkar | Jun 22, 2023 | Dolphins News
Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, is now confronted with potential consequences from both the team and the NFL as he prepares to face assault charges. The investigation into the alleged assault at a Miami marina has concluded, establishing Hill’s culpability and heightening apprehensions. This distressing turn of events is compounded by Hill’s prior incidents of violent behavior, sparking deliberations on the necessity of more stringent punishment. Yet, the precise actions that the Miami Dolphins or the NFL will take in response to these charges remain undisclosed, leaving the situation unresolved and filled with uncertainty.
Assault Charges Loom for Tyreek Hill
Tyreek Hill is currently facing a grave legal situation following an alleged assault that occurred on Father’s Day. According to reports, Hill was involved in a heated altercation with a marina employee at Haulover Marina in Miami. The incident unfolded when Hill and his companions purportedly boarded a boat without obtaining permission, leading to a confrontation with the staff member. Eyewitnesses present at the scene claim that Hill struck the employee on the back of the head. The situation escalated further as Hill allegedly made inflammatory remarks, asserting his ability to purchase the staff member and the boat while emphasizing his status as the number 10 player for the Miami Dolphins. This series of events has placed him in a significant legal predicament, with potential repercussions looming over him.
In light of the incident, the alleged victim has made the decision to formally press charges against Hill. Confirming the severity of the situation, the Miami-Dade Police have stated that charges will be filed, signaling the initiation of legal proceedings for Hill. While the identities of both Hill and the victim have not been disclosed in the incident report, this significant turn of events amplifies the gravity of the matter, as Hill now confronts the potential consequences and legal implications resulting from the allegations.
The alleged assault involving Hill raises significant concerns, not only regarding the specific incident but also due to his previous instances of violent behavior. These prior incidents contribute to ongoing discussions about the necessity for more stringent punishments. However, the Miami Dolphins and the NFL have yet to determine their actions in response to the charges. As a result, the situation remains uncertain, leaving both organizations grappling with the challenging task of addressing the distressing situation appropriately. Their primary objective is to ensure that the necessary measures are implemented and to determine the most suitable course of disciplinary action, aiming to uphold accountability and preserve the integrity of the league.
What Else Can We Learn About the Incident
Of particular interest is the mention in the incident report that the alleged altercation involving Tyreek Hill was captured on surveillance video. However, the public has yet to gain access to any footage that could provide insight into the incident. The existence of this potentially crucial video footage raises questions about its potential significance in determining the facts surrounding the alleged assault. As the investigation progresses, anticipation grows regarding this video evidence’s potential impact on the case.
Reports indicate that the police have informed the alleged victim that pursuing criminal charges, in this case, would require them to visit the state attorney’s office personally. This procedural requirement underscores the ongoing legal process and emphasizes the significance of meticulously examining and evaluating the evidence before reaching any conclusions. The fact that the alleged victim is actively engaged in pursuing criminal charges reflects their dedication to seeking justice and holding those responsible for their actions accountable. It serves as a testament to the gravity of the allegations and reinforces the importance of conducting a comprehensive and unbiased investigation to ensure a fair resolution.
The Miami Dolphins’ response to the incident involved releasing a brief statement in which they acknowledged the occurrence without divulging additional information. The statement indicated that the organization is cognizant of the situation and has been in contact with Tyreek Hill, his representatives, and the NFL. By opting not to provide further comments, the Dolphins demonstrate their recognition of the sensitive and intricate nature of the matter at hand. The decision to maintain silence on the issue leaves room for uncertainty regarding any potential disciplinary measures that Hill may face from the team or the league. This ambiguity surrounding the consequences adds to the speculation and conjecture surrounding the possible outcomes for Hill in light of his actions.
Verdict
Tyreek Hill finds himself in a precarious situation with the assault charges as both the Miami Dolphins and the NFL contemplate potential consequences. The investigation into the alleged assault has concluded, establishing Hill’s culpability and raising concerns due to his history of violent behavior. However, the specific actions that the team and the league will take remain undisclosed, leaving the situation uncertain. The presence of surveillance video footage, along with the alleged victim’s decision to press charges and the ongoing legal process, further complicate the case. The Miami Dolphins and the NFL face the challenge of addressing the incident appropriately, determining the suitable course of action, and maintaining accountability while safeguarding the league’s integrity.
Who is this Sunil Sonkar? This guy doesn’t even come up in a mere Twitter search.
Money will take care of it. It wasn’t a horrible act of violence. But we live in a very sensitive society these days.
There is nothing to see here. This story wouldn’t even be a story if it didn’t involve a millionaire athlete and his millionaire agent.
You’d swear Tyreek beat the pulp out of somebody… no, that’s not what happened at all.
“sparking deliberations on the necessity of more stringent punishment BY OPPONENTS OF THE TEAM”
There I fixed it. Literally NO ONE except Pats, Jets and Bills fans even care.
Unfortunately what happened to the Titanic Submersible is what I thought happened. Tragic event, horrible loss of life.
Imploded, best way to in that circumstance, imo….lol
To go
We’ll imploding was the circumstance.
No, the circumstance was facing death from freezing or not being able to breathe in a mile deep ocean or wherever they lost contact.
The reason they lost contact was imploding and an instant death….much, much better way to die, imo….quick and no pain
Hmmm….you might be right, TK….lol.
I understand all the other ways to die. But that’s not what happened.
You lost me
No one knows what happened except the implosion according to experts
I don’t think should be anything to see either except for the surveillance footage…lol
And, yes money will probably make the victim some money, but….
….in this case, I think it’s fair to question the NFL’s action on this. And for this reason alone, it sounds serious.
We’ll see how it goes. I’m not going to worry about it unless Tyreek gets suspended.
Not worried….just watching…lol
Lol…so who’s been to Peru and has a recommendation for a place to go to from Lima besides Machu Pichu and tourists?
Sunil Sonkar?
This guy seems to be trying to make things worse or judge things as being worse because nothing has yet happened. Duh.
If the event had been really bad, then we’d already know that, and then things would be bad.
If nothing has happened, it’s because not much happened, so that’s good for Tyreek.
“establishing culpability”?
I think only a trial can do that. A news report of “an investigation of an alleged … ” can not establish culpability.
The following excerpt is so full of BS that it is completely worthless, but its tone is ominous even though it’s completely without support.
“This ambiguity surrounding the consequences adds to the speculation and conjecture surrounding the possible outcomes for Hill in light of his actions.”
The whole article is like that. BS.
Tyreek is in trouble,
but nobody even got bloody, let alone maimed, so how bad could it be?
No one got a DUI or charged with domestic violence or gambling on football.
No weapons charge, no hospitalization, no wounds …
To me, it seems like some racist rent a cop thought no black women could legit be on a yacht and insulted ladies that Tyreek stood up for.
I mean, jeez, they just got in from a day out on the ocean deep sea fishing with his agent.
That’s not sketchy activity.
Tyreek saying “he’s #10 on the Dolphins” is one of the mildest reprimands a guy could give a f’n dumbass who didn’t recognize him and realize he legit paid to charter that big boat, even if he IS a black guy.
Fuck this shit and fuck this exacerbator non-important interloper fuck-face Sunil Sonkar.
Awesome! Lol…I love it
Krishna, you are the one who posted the article from Sunil Sonkar.
I won’t ‘kill the messenger’ (you), but WOW, you posted quite possibly the most cynical of all takes on the entire internet.
I can’t wait to see the video…lol
You lol, but the said victim received a mere “3 Stooges” slap on the back of the neck.
If that’s the case, yes, charge Hill with a misdemeanor. Okay. Nothing to see here.
Any charge against Hill makes it difficult for the league given his past and the fact that we are the Dolphins nom sayin’
Those are my only two worries..
Lol….I posted an article that provided a potentially serious outcome for Hill and the Dolphins. That’s why I started with, “Seem serious to me…and, wasn’t he with his agent?”
And, noted several times about wanting to see the surveillance footage of the incident.
Not sure what all the hoo, ha’s are about….lol….especially from someone who starts conspiracy thinking.
Naples posts a well thought out rebuttal to the article that I agree with and might be more reasonable or even factual.
That still doesn’t absolve Hill from NFL sanctios or discipline as Son and Toba wonder, as well, especially given its most recent history with the Dolphins.
Lol…”nothing to see here.” Just watching…lol.
It was also interesting to me that apparently TH has a “violent” history which I did not know about until the article…sometimes reputations get in the way of facts…lol
And, if it were me (I’m pretty white…lol) and some white boy made a racist comments to me or mine, I might slap that person in the back of the head, too, to wake the mother fucker up…lol
It isn’t ok to hit someone, even if they made a racial comment, that seems to be the fake defense far too often these days
From other reports seems the employee put his hands on Tyreek first, if true it changes everything
They should just shut the fuck up, and show us the video
Yep…and you are correct…it seems if you touch someone today that constitutes a physical or sexual assault….so weird to me…sorry
Didn’t know Aaron Rodgers was into Ayahuasca or that mushrooms (psilocybin l) were decriminalized in some states….hmmm

Cusco has some cool ruins, as does Ollantaytambo (base of Machu Pichu)
We landed in Lima, and continued on to Cusco, from what I saw from the plane Lima was like a war zone, don’t suggest going there
Cusco had armed police around the city on sidewalks, but I was told by locals it was safe
There’s a hotel on the side of the mountain between Cusco and Ollantaytambo that was pretty cool looking, like tents hanging off the cliff
That sounds pretty cool actually….thank you!
We were hoping to make it over to Galapagos Islands too, but had time constraints
Awesome.
Oooooh Tyreek slapped someone on the back of the neck, better lock him up and throw away the key
https://wsvn.com/sports/police-report-details-altercation-at-haulover-marina-amid-allegations-dolphins-tyreek-hill-slapped-fishing-fleet-employee/
I wish we could see the actual video so we would be able to see the slap and judge the severity
But it doesn’t sound anywhere near to a Ray Rice situation from what I read
If he got in an altercation with a man and hit that man without causing serious injury, I’m not sure he’s gonna face serious consequences
I think that reporters reference to a prior history of violence is a little inappropriate if the story is a marina employee got mad at him for boarding a boat without permission, they got into a altercation and hill slapped the back of his neck….that’s what I read anyway
Sucks when you can’t see the video, because it’s still under “investigation”

Assault has ALWAYS been an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent
What Hill is should actually be charged with is “battery” which is the unlawful physical contact against the victims will.
Know this from experience. All I did was grab a fucker by the collar and tell him if he didn’t stop I would kick his ass. BAM Assault AND battery.
Sorry to hear but word/provocation can be an assault too imo….even after they’ve been warned. My lesson was go get security and save some money….lol
Whole thing sucks so bad … just when I was enjoying good karma for once, this shit happens
Lol…karma is a funny thing….
And, my parents would have had visitors from CPS….lol
I’ve been slapped on the back of the head a few times….it doesn’t feel good…lol.

HOLD THE DAMN FLASHLIGHT STEADY!
My Dad while I was growing up. “Work smarter not harder stupid” ALWAYS accompanied by a smack on the back of the head.
Lol…tough love?
And, look at us now Rock….two fucked up men try to understand the definition of violence v love…lol.
I was taught, if he didn’t “punish” you, he didn’t care….lol…oh my…wish he didn’t care so much sometimes…lol
I tell people (especially Millennials or younger) about my childhood and they are all like “OMG you were abused” I’m like no, I was raised properly to respect other people. If you were to charge my parents with abuse you would have to charge me with torture because I was a right awful little shit.
Mom: IF YOU EVERY DO THAT AGAIN…
Me (before she can finish the sentence) Does it again.
Lmfao…
You mean they didn’t label you ADD/ADHD and drug you?! Shameful….
…I guess that wasn’t your generation…lol
Yes I was “diagnosed” with ADD. I wasn’t ADD though I was just bored. I read the school book in the first week of class and the rest of the class was behind all year!
I was bored, too…straight As scholastically and in catholic school they graded your conduct…I actually got 2 Cs one semester-one in science and one in Spanish, both taught by the same teacher. She averaged my conduct grade of F with my course grade of A and gave me C….lmao…my dad was furious…
I went to catholic school up until 6th grade, then they kicked me out because I kept asking questions they couldn’t answer.
Lol…lucky you! I was told to stop asking questions and just BELIEVE….

And with that being stated, we’re going to have to wait for the video to come out in order to see what actually happened.
Sorry, but I still have a grudge against the media at large and probably always will. In the case of the sports media, they will do ANYTHING to smear a Miami Dolphins player… each and every one of us KNOWS this through experience. I hate seeing this happen, but here we go again.
My greater point is that it would seem that in the worst case, ‘Reek could probably get charged with a misdemeanor. I don’t foresee a suspension or anything of the like… but he’s a Miami Dolphins player, as Son wisely mentioned. We shall see…

Everybody needs to chill with this AI Crap.
Creators or posters or influencers need to be held accountable for the effects their wild theories or cult icon persona have on the public at large , especially those most vulnerable to falling under its spell.
I agree completely.
I have seen numerous AI articles on technical accounting and tax issues. While they contain “facts” or present factual information, they tend to mislead or draw misleading conclusions, ever so slightly that are off.
When I read the AI Jesus post, it reminded me of an early Star Trek episode(s) where machines created “illusions” of a peaceful paradise, only to realize that “paradise” was in complete Darwinian-like survival mode and attacked its intruders (foreign bodies).
It’s similar to other concepts in movies like the Matrix, etc.

Sounds like Dalvin Cook’s team is trying to pit the AFC East teams against each other for his services. Pretty smart tactics. Watch the Eagles sign him. LOL
Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network, citing two industry sources, writes free agent RB Dalvin Cook’s true value is probably in the range of a one year, $5 million guaranteed contract with incentives that could boost it a little higher.
Beasley could see the Dolphins adding $3-5 million in incentives in Cook’s potential deal that would reward him for playing a big role on Miami going on a title run.
That said, should we sign him?
I’m in the whatever we do camp. Just win baby!😉

Quite possibly, but I wonder what Williams (I assume you mean Trill) has to do with this… you lost me with Williams, man.

And, thanks again.
so who’s been to Peru and has a recommendation for a place to go to from Lima besides Machu Pichu and tourists?
——————–
I went in 2001. Steve nailed it on the head. Cusco is a tourist attraction. Though, 2 females from our group took a wrong road to hotel, got lost and mugged.
I was also supposed to be stationed there in the mid 90’s at a Naval Medical Research Institute in Lima. There were only a few areas we would be allowed to live as dictated by the embassy. The embassy was the reason I lost by billet down there and ended up going back to serve with the Marines instead. the ambassador needed to create more jobs for spouses so they civilianized the job I was going to do.
Anyway, that was 22 years ago. A lot could have changed.
If you go to Cusco, it’s elevation is about 11,000-12,ooo feet. Many of the hotels I remember will serve coca leaf tea. They say the “simulant” properties alleviate high altitude headache.
Thank you, bbm!

Oh! Yes, Connor Williams, of course. My bad. Yeah, he’s probably being factored into the entire matter as well.
Yeah and he’s most important. When you think about our OL, we know we have a stud in Armstead when he stays on the field. Williams is a quality interior OL along with Hunt. We need two guys to step up and then figure out the best depth we can.
EXACTLY!
JMO, but I think trading Ced Wilson is going to be the key to making everything happen. We could be in a stalemate on that front until TC and the preseason, where a team or two have a WR go out for a length of time.
I guess the question becomes: what are we willing to do now with the current $$$ we have?
Ced Wilson is not an easy trade for all the reasons we’ve discussed before. What team is trading for his contract?
The team that has a major WR injured during now and the start of the NFL season. Our return will not be very good, but it wipes out Wilson’s contract.
I’d have to say at this time I can’t see us ridding ourselves of his contract this year. Don’t think Wilson is viewed as a WR that will save a team’s season and especially not at that price. Picking up a portion of his contract and getting a future draft pick doesn’t help us this year either.

HISTORY LESSON: One of the Dolphins’ most memorable victories at New England came in the month of October — Oct. 17, 1999, to be precise. On that remarkable day at what was then called Foxboro Stadium, the Dolphins fell behind 14-0 on two interception returns for touchdowns and Dan Marino was knocked out of the game on the second one. Damon Huard took over at quarterback and overcame nine sacks against him to engineer a remarkable comeback, securing a 31-30 victory when he threw a game-winning 5-yard touchdown pass to fullback Stanley Pritchett with 23 seconds left.
WORDS OF WISDOM:
In 1923, Who Was:
1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6.. Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men were considered some of the world’s most successful of their days.
Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.
The Answers:
1. The president of the largest steel company.
Charles Schwab,
Died a pauper.
2. The president of the largest gas company,
Edward Hopson,
Went insane.
3. The president of the NYSE,
Richard Whitney,
Was released from prison
To die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator,
Arthur Cooger,
Died abroad, penniless.
5. The president of
The Bank of International Settlement,
Shot himself.
6 The Great Bear of Wall Street,
Cosabee Livermore,
Also committed suicide
However,
In that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion
And the winner of the most important golf tournament,
The US Open,
was
Gene Sarazen.
What became of him?
He played golf until he was 92,
Died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure
At the time of his death.
The Moral:
“Screw” work. Play golf.
Nice !!! I was expecting you to say they were all One person , and likley Literati 😊
I did my part today .. I finally got my Custom Irons on Saturday.. I now have the whole custom set now… went to driving range to try out irons , then to putting green to try and like my Scottie Cameron … then decided to play 9 on a par 28 course … I shot 36 🤷♂️… still undecided on Scottie
We’ll have to get you out down in Hollywood 😁
Like I said there is a Top Golf in Miami Gardens if not a round somewhere but Top Golf with everyone could be a lot of fun.
October we plan to be there from Tuesday to Tuesday… I won’t bring my clubs , but if enough people interested I’d give it a go … 👍👍
Top golf is so much fun…please include me…lol
Off work until July 5 or 6
Keep on golfing, Manitoba! I’ve yet to get out this year, but next week I will.
I have 4 ? Rounds under my belt , had to cancel a planned round two weeks ago … hoping to have 20 rounds in and my scores below 100 by summers end
I haven’t played in over a year but the other day I saw my friend Bob who many of you have met and we were talking about the week between the Giants game and the Fest and that we’d go play one of his courses in Ft Myers ( wanna be our fourth Naples?). He plays all the time so I started busting his balls. I said I’ll give you a stroke a hole and I play with only my right hand, lol. Then I said that’s a bad bet you shouldn’t take it. I said it a few times periodically while drinking and Jim thinks I might have rattled him a little 🤷♂️
Well that’s a bit of a drive ( no pun intended)
I played a muni course with a friend (stoner) and our younger brothers when in HS…twilight golf during the summer…cheap and 18 holes
….so much fun…lol
…lol, where I learned?
Because science…
https://phys.org/news/2023-06-remote-lake-emissions-tibetan-plateau.html
Wow, you mean natural factors can be exacerbated by human activity? Who would have thunk?
Also “Chinese science”
Lol…I know…could it mean we don’t know as much as we think!?!
And Chinese science is pretty good at building viruses so maybe they know a little about climate change as well.
Dolphins Chiefs tickets sold out in under 15 minutes. The Germans are excited to get some football. Ticket resale prices expected to more than double or triple by the time the game comes around.
Tried to convince my wife I should go to this game. She was unimpressed with my reasoning.
Cause she knew you didn’t really care about the game, you just wanted to drive on the Autobahn 🤣
Ha…She has seen me drive on the Autobahn so you may be right.
Were you the guy flying by at 240 kmh?
Going 180 in the fast lane is a death wish, better get over
The Italian one was cool too, but too many tolls and worse arrogant drivers
Chosen fits in the mix too, so we can have 5 speedsters on the field at the same time
In years past we’ve had issues when one of these guys were on the field against us
Not sure how you can defend this
my favorite player on the Dolphins “Madden Roster” HOLD THAT R2 button and blaze for a first down plus plus plus.
He’s great, if you give him SOME blocking, not sure why we need Cook
He is a lot more physical than he gets credit for too. In the clip above he blows up two safeties trying to make a play on him and breaks a lot more tackles. He will be 32 this season so his tread is wearing thin, but let’s hope his best is still ahead of him!
Don’t need Cook.
No, they don’t. They just need to run the ball more with who we have.
Agreed. We just need to USE our current RBs…geez, loueez.
Kind of hard to commit to the run, when your D can’t get off the field
Over a Million people tried to buy tickets for this game!
You’re saying I still have a chance? 😁
Steve, I have always disagreed with that line of thinking. If you can run the ball successfully then it should not matter at all what the defense is doing. So what the other team has an 8 minute drive (must be running the ball to consume that much time!) go ahead and use as much time as you need running.
Now when you get behind several scores (Scores not time of possession) that is when you almost HAVE to throw the ball and forget the run.
What the defense does should not have any baring on how much a team runs IMO.
Agree…the O dictates the play or should; and balancing that with running when you can break off a 4th and TD with a strike…
…dictate TOP and let the D be in support and bust it open mode.
This is the furthest I have seen us going so far.
I call bullshit on “multiple offers “
All low ball just to be in the mix nothing significant or he’d jump on it
exactly
IF we can make it work (that means being able to re-sign Christian Wilkins and retaining Connor Williams), I say DO IT.
Man, I only came home with 4 pounds of scallop meat this year. Weather really sucked first 2 days and was only able to do some close by trout/red fishing before another storm chased us in. Also, lower bag limit again until 1 July.
Still an amazing time!
The scallops when you said “only 4 pounds”
Raheem Mostert career carries: 465
Ricky Williams carries in one season (2003): 392
Mostert has quite the injury history, as incredible as he is… and he’s probably my favorite player on our Phins right now. He turned 31 in April, so he’s on the wrong side of 30 years old. Nevertheless, he’s got a LOT of tread left on his tires… but his injury history…
Jeff Wilson has an injury history as well. Achane might not yet be ready to shoulder a full load in this intricate OZBS that we employ.
If our O-Line fails us (heh-heh, not an impossibility), I’d like to have the ‘angry runner’ who is Dalvin Cook.
Regarding Cook
“He underwent shoulder surgery Feb. 14 in hopes of ending chronic separations.”
Yes, I think all 32 teams know this, my guy. Perhaps that is the one reason alone why nobody has signed him to what he wants.
The current FA list is absolutely riddled with former AP1s and former Pro-Bowlers… and every one of them has a wart.
Take care of our FIRST…Wilkins needs to be signed first, all on board for Seiler, then….let it ride
^ours
Mostert ran hard against Ravens and Eagles and Bills…these are top Ds in the league, I believe…
RIP Ryan Mallet drowned on the beach on Destin FL…terribly sad.
Damn, that’s awful
I don’t get the bell-cow attitude need for Cook….
…is that MM’s vision?
I don’t see it.
When you have a bell cow RB, and he’s out a week or 2, it’s almost as bad as losing your QB
For that reason, along with high salary, I don’t like them
Lol….Connor Williams knows we are desperate for an OL….because we don’t have one….lol
Armstead and Hunt are top caliber.
Curious to see adult body Jackson this year and Eichenberg at C in PS
Some want our OL to go from outhouse to penthouse in one season
….a few..lol
It’s not a mystery that before we re-signed our entire backfield – we looked into trading for Dalvin Cook. The interest from both sides is real. Now it’s just money, no draft compensation.
So you would grab Cook before taking care of your own? Bad business all around, imo
You lost me?
So, you want a contract with Cook now before we contract with our own? He’s a top talent and still there….go for it
We already signed all 4 RBs from last year and we’re still interested in Cook. I’m just pointing out timelines. It’s not up to me. LOL
Nevermind…kinda my point…we signed rather to 2 year contracts…then, there’s the team….I thought I was clear, but probably not…lol
Not all commentary is looking for conflict, know what I’m saying?😉
Hmmm…wasn’t looking for conflict…know what I’m saying….lol
Debate…is the NE term…lol
I believe Krishna was talking about re-signing Wilkins and Sieler, this being more important than paying Cook
Thank you
Oh okay I thought we were discussing the RB group.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/football/nfl-player-ryan-mallett-dies
They have had 7 drownings around Panama City beaches so far this year. Rips are bad and people ignore the flags. I’m sure it has something to do with climate change.
Hmm
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12241333/Florida-sheriff-explodes-swimmers-ignoring-deadly-riptide-warnings-Gulf-Mexico.html
That’s what they’re pushing
I hope the prove to Connor Williams that mandatory means MANDATORY.
I really hope he got a fine letter for the whole $98,753.00 that is the max penalty.
The fucker signed a contract last year and is holding out this year!? Welp! you just lost $98K. See you in July.
**they
I agree. And I hope Eich is a Center prodigy and they bench Williams for the year.
This from an article by Omar does not bode well for our line ….again…
Applebaum returned to Boston College after one season and Miami replaced him with Butch Barry, who has a less-than-stellar reputation based on the work he did at the University of Miami for one season (2019), and his disastrous tenure as the Denver Broncos offensive line coach last year.
The fact that Barry served as an understudy for 49ers offensive line coach Chris Foerster, the man who taught Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel the intricacies of the wide-zone run game, is beneficial.
The article finishes on a little more positive note:
“Between Wynn, Feeney and Jones, the Dolphins have a solid trio of backups on the offensive line, so there are a couple break-in-case-of-emergency options, which wasn’t the case at this point last year.”
Which on the surface is true.
Rip currents have been really bad here this spring. When we get into July/Aug not so much unless there is a tropical system nearby.
Rock – Having pronoun troubles? lol
LOL, no I typed THE instead of THEY.
I refuse to refer to an individual as a plural. Don’t care if I get cancelled. I was never premiered to begin with. If the fuckers refuse to go by he / she the ONLY available option is IT. this is a fact in the English language. So IT it is.
Amen!
Lol…just had this discussion with my office at lunch. It’s binary…you can’t be a they unless you have issues….that’s the nicest way I can say it…oh my
I offended a group of people yesterday (I know shocking right!? noooooo, not Rock!)
They were talking about “Gay pride” and a local story where a redneck in town did a burn out / doughnut in an intersection in town here that was painted rainbow for gay pride. He is being charged with a felony instead of a misdemeanor traffic violation because it is a “Hate crime”
The conversation went on to all the pride months, weeks, days, etc. and I said “Well, when it stops being a problem to express my “white pride” then everyone else can express their “other pride” as much as they want. Until then they need to shut the fuck up about their pride”
You could hear a pin drop and a bunch of chairs squeaking.
Exactly why I’m against all of this bs, they don’t want inclusion, they want privilege and the narrative says give it to them, until they get they get trumped
The me too movement was all the rage, until they got trumped by LGBTQFU+
Pretty sure that’s the definition of being used as a pawn
Today those that celebrated me too are fighting for women’s sports to be for women
You had me with the first sentence, then
lost me on the trumped part….lol
Until they get trumped, as in equity, Trans has more equity than women, so the pecking says to women thanks for playing try again later
In order to give Trans privileges it comes at someone’s expense, in this instance women’s
In other words they’re treating women like they treat Republicans
Do you see the dangerous game they’re playing with equity
No, I don’t get it…lol
Interesting points
4 guzinta 40 10 times, so 10 sacks each
8 guzinta 40 5 times, so 5 sacks each
Fangio isn’t blitz happy, so it allows better coverage (more defenders in coverage) and more time for front 4 to get sacks
This should allow more pressures to turn into sacks, and get Phillips 10+ thus year, Chubb too
I am so frustrated I want to scream! I found out this morning that the day I come back from vacation I have to turn around and fly back out for a job-site visit. I am leaving this Friday for 10 days and come back on the 9th. I just tried to purchase my ticket to Wash DC and the website just sat there with a spinning wheel with a message “Do not leave this page or you will lose you flight” 10 Mins later I got an error. “your credit card was declined” I called my CC company and went through the menu for 10 mins to talk to a person. They said no, it wasn’t declined, we don’t show any activity.
I try again…The price of the flight has gone up $100 in 1/2 an hour. Go through the whole process again….Same thing happens, except it takes 15 mins this time. I call city back and talk to someone else who was smarter than the last person. “Oh, I see here that you didn’t confirm purchase. You should have received a text with a code for authentication. No I didn’t get a text. “Yes sir you did” NO I DIDN’T What number is in your system? That’s the wrong number. It’s my ex-wifes number. I have updated this ten times! Please correct this immediately. OK Sir, I will have to transfer you….They hang up.
I call back, have to go through the menu again, there is no option that is correct. I am screaming at the phone “JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING PERSON” “did you say you want to speak to customer service?” YES!!
Hang up on me again.
Call back, go through it again. Get to where I’m supposed to to get the security phone number changed. Change it. Ask them if everything is good. they say yes.
Go back to Jet Blue to purchase the ticket. Go through the process get to check out…Tickets are now $175.00 more than they were 2 hours ago and the seats I wanted toward the front are gone. Fuck it. I need to get there. Book it……..SPINNING FUCKING WHEEL! YOUR CREDIT CARD WAS DECLINED!!!
F THIS SHIT I SAY. I pull out the phone and try to purchase the tickets on the Jet Blue App. Tickets are now $200.00 more than they were this morning! I use my person card instead the one I always use for business and I don’t get a text challenge from the other Credit Card company. It just goes through. Finally got booked but it took me over two hours of F’ing around and the seats cost me $200 more than when I started trying this morning!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHGG!
Yep, corporate America, where they say FU to everyone they have by the balls
And it keeps getting worse, and worse, and got expontially worse under Covid and they continue
AND I had to take a middle seat in the back of the plane!!!!! HULK SMASH!!
Something most here didn’t know know, myself included
Chosen originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016 with the New York Jets after a collegiate career at Temple. At the time, Chosen went by Robby Anderson. He changed his name to Robbie Anderson in 2022 and then to Chosen Anderson in February 2023 before landing on Robbie Chosen before the start of minicamp.
Well let’s just hope he has chosen the right name this time. 🐕
Wonder what that’s all about?
It is ironic how transgender is now challenging women’s progress. When people go too far with social engineering it usually ends up ridiculous. Kind of like Jesse Jackson with his Ebonics claims. LOL
I know it is not music Friday but how many times have you heard this song?
I always liked this one!
Ronnie Radke/Falling In Reverse just made a “Reimagined” version of “Last Resort”.
I think it is really good. Same lyrics, but I didn’t realize how deep the lyrics really are with the Papa Roach version.
Much better on a good sound system than on your phone.

—————–
“Social engineering” has been going on for a very long time in our country, my friend. Hitler himself took a special interest in the experiments that were going on at Ellis Island in the early 1900s, and incorporated it himself… as we all know.
Fuck Margaret Sanger (Hillary’s self-described mentor), fuck the Fabian Society, fuck Bill and Hillary Clinton, fuck the KKK (spawned out of it all), fuck Jim Crow laws, and fuck ANY and ALL racism.
And YES… fuck Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
ALL of this mess has been caused by liberalism (brought to America by the Fabian Society in the late 1800s after the Emancipation Proclamation).
OMFG….LOL
I’m going to presume that you ARE in favor of modern-day “social engineering”, by chopping off the penises of young boys and chopping off the boobs of young girls?
And yes, some of that stuff happened on Ellis Island back in the early 1900s.
You have issues….lol
I don’t broad brush liberalism as one thing and all of it negative. This country was constructed on more individual rights to move away from royalty and oppressive conservatism.
What I was saying is about people over complicating many social issues. Humans are still part of the natural order of things. Not accepting who you are biologically is not normal behavior.
Correct. Agree.
The other day someone said worse when it should have been worst it’s ok I’m over it now
I’ve always wondered on who decided how things are supposed to be spelled, and why I should GAF about thier, there, their, they’re opinion?

CAN COACHING CHANGES IGNITE TRANSFORMATION FOR THE MIAMI DOLPHINS’ OFFENSIVE LINE
Posted by Sunil Sonkar | Jun 28, 2023 | Dolphins News | 0
For more than a decade, the offensive line of the Miami Dolphins has been a hindrance rather than a facilitator of the team’s success. The shortcomings, injuries, and overall dysfunction have limited the quarterback’s protection, stagnated the run game, and constrained play-calling. As the 2023 season approaches, it is crucial to assess whether the offseason moves made by Miami’s decision-makers have addressed the issues and transformed the offensive line into a catalyst for the team’s triumph.
Will the New Offensive Line Coach Propel the Team to Success?
The appointment of Butch Barry as the new offensive line coach sparks optimism, yet lingering concerns persist. Barry’s affiliation with renowned O-line coach Chris Foerster, who played a crucial role in mentoring Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, holds promise. Nonetheless, the question arises as to whether the players can successfully adapt to Barry’s coaching style and elevate their performance accordingly.
Who Are the Impactful Additions to the Miami Dolphins Offensive Line?
The Miami Dolphins have significantly added their offensive line through free agency and the draft. Isaiah Wynn, Dan Feeney, Cedric Ogbuehi, and Ryan Hayes bring a combined wealth of experience, having started in 139 games collectively. This infusion of seasoned players strengthens the unit’s overall depth and addresses the lack of stability that has plagued the offensive line in previous seasons.
While each of these players has faced their own individual challenges, their track records demonstrate the capability to step up and perform as starters when called upon. Their accumulated experience and familiarity with the demands of playing on the offensive line provide the Dolphins with valuable options and increased flexibility. By adding these players to the roster, Miami has taken a proactive approach to bolstering the offensive line, ensuring they have reliable and competent individuals who can step into starting roles when needed. This newfound stability and depth are vital for the team’s success, instilling confidence in the offensive line’s ability to protect the quarterback and create opportunities for the running game to thrive.
…continued from above…
Who Will Anchor the Miami Dolphins’ Offensive Line?
Terron Armstead, a highly talented offensive lineman, has consistently showcased his skills by earning Pro Bowl recognition. Armstead stands out as the unit’s top performer when he is healthy and on the field, providing a reliable and dominant presence. However, concerns arise due to his recurring injuries, which have raised doubts about his long-term durability and effectiveness. The Dolphins must carefully assess Armstead’s health and weigh the risks of relying heavily on a player with an injury history.
Additionally, the impending free agency of three projected starters—Connor Williams, Robert Hunt, and Austin Jackson—creates a complex situation for the Dolphins’ offensive line stability. The team faces the challenge of determining the foundational pieces for their line and making crucial decisions regarding long-term contracts. These players play crucial roles in the offensive line’s success, and securing their services beyond their impending free agency becomes a significant priority. The Dolphins must carefully evaluate their performances, weigh their potential, and negotiate deals that ensure the team’s long-term success and continuity in the offensive line unit.
How Can Miami Dolphins Address Weak Links?
Within the Miami Dolphins offensive line, left guard and right tackle have emerged as problematic positions that require attention. Austin Jackson’s struggles as a starter have been evident, raising concerns about his ability to perform consistently and effectively. Additionally, Cedric Ogbuehi’s competition for the right tackle spot further emphasizes the need for improvement in that position. The Dolphins must address these specific areas of weakness to bolster the overall performance of the offensive line and provide better protection for the quarterback.
Improving the left guard position is crucial as it directly impacts the run game’s success and the offensive line’s overall cohesiveness. Finding a player who can provide stability and consistent performance in this position will be key to Miami’s offensive success. Similarly, solidifying the right tackle spot is vital to ensure adequate pass protection and maintain a balanced offensive attack. Competitions and evaluations during training camp and preseason will play a significant role in determining the best options for these positions and implementing necessary changes to enhance the performance of the offensive line as a whole.
….Can Miami’s Offensive Line Survive the Injury Bug?
Recognizing the detrimental effects injuries can have on an offensive line’s performance, the Miami Dolphins have proactively tackled this concern by enhancing their depth. Including seasoned backups Isaiah Wynn and Dan Feeney serves as a crucial insurance policy against potential injuries to the starting linemen. With their extensive experience and expertise, these veteran players bring a wealth of knowledge to the team, fortifying the offensive line and ensuring its resilience in challenging situations.
Furthermore, the Dolphins have demonstrated their commitment to bolstering their offensive line depth by cross-training Liam Eichenberg to play center. This strategic move enhances Eichenberg’s versatility and provides an additional option in case of injuries or performance issues at the center position. Additionally, the emergence of Robert Jones as a versatile backup guard further solidifies the Dolphins’ offensive line unit. Jones’s ability to play both left and right guard positions adds depth and flexibility to the line, ensuring that the team has capable replacements ready to step in if needed. With these measures in place, the Dolphins have built a more robust and resilient offensive line that can withstand potential injuries and maintain its effectiveness throughout the season.
Verdict
The Miami Dolphins offensive line enters the 2023 season with a mix of optimism and concerns. The appointment of Butch Barry as the new offensive line coach brings hope for improvement, but the players’ ability to adapt to his coaching style remains a question. The team has made significant off-season additions to bolster the unit’s depth and address stability issues. However, challenges include the durability of key players, impending free agency, and the need to address weak links at left guard and right tackle. By carefully evaluating and making strategic decisions, the Dolphins can transform their offensive line into a catalyst for success, ensuring consistent performance, protecting the quarterback, and driving the team’s overall success.
Oh boy….
REPORT: TYREEK HILL OFFERED VICTIM $200 AFTER INCIDENT TOOK PLACE
Posted by Mike Oliva | Jun 28, 2023 | Dolphins News | 0
Angie DiMichele of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Tyreek Hill offered the 57-year-old victim at the Marina $200 after allegedly slapping the worker on the neck and back of the head.
Per DiMichele, “The man who was at the dock with Hill told the employee Hill wanted to apologize. When he came out of the office, he heard Hill telling his “associate” to give him $200, the report said. The employee didn’t take the money, and Hill left shortly after.
Officers reviewed surveillance footage that recorded the arguments, which backed up the boat captain’s and employee’s accounts, the report said. The employee identified Hill as the man who slapped him in a photo lineup, and officers referred him to the State Attorney’s Office to pursue charges.
The report said the police department handed their case over to a prosecutor on June 22.”
The story has made national headlines since it took place on June 18th. Per the police report and Sun-Sentinel article, “The man didn’t know he was slapped by the highest-paid receiver in the NFL. Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill offered him $200 with his apology, according to a Miami-Dade Police report.
A supplemental report the South Florida Sun Sentinel obtained through a public records request Wednesday gives more details about what led to the alleged slap Hill planted on the neck of a fishing charter company employee at the Bill Bird Marina in Haulover Park on Father’s Day.
Ed Griffith, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, said in an email Monday that they are reviewing the case.”
More details of the case have become public since the June 18th incident. Per the Sun-Sentinal article, “Two women in Hill’s group joined them and got on a private docked fishing boat. The boat’s captain had just returned from the marina’s gas station and found them, the report said. He told them to get off. Hill “claimed he was being disrespected,” the boat captain told police.” The financial offer of $200 Hill made came after Hill had to be restrained and the 57 year old worker ran back into his office and locked the door as he was afraid. The Sun-Sentinel said, “As the commotion between Hill and the boat captain continued, the Kelley Fishing Fleet employee left the office and walked over. Hill walked by him and slapped the man on the back of his head and neck, he told officers.
One of the men in Hill’s group restrained Hill, who struggled to get out of the grip, the report said. The employee ran back into the office and locked the door, afraid.”

When you have a bell cow RB, and he’s out a week or 2, it’s almost as bad as losing your QB
For that reason, along with high salary, I don’t like them
Reply
_______________
I just read an article (that I didn’t post) about Cook’s injury history and missing an average of 3.2 games a season the last four years and production going down in subsequent years to the present.
I worn out “bell cow” might be worse. Not sure what we offered him (as reported), but….I guess he hasn’t accepted or is still considering.
Who the hell is Sunil Sonkar? Who’s favorite author is IT?
(not they / them)
Lol…it was a joke
Rock – When are in DC?
I wonder if Sunil Sonkar is AI….
Reads like it … he writes stuffier than even I do
Lol…not even close. The structure and content is eerie-ish
Phelon, I am just flying there and back in the same day (July 10th) to go walk through a hotel to see the existing conditions before we put a bid in on the remodel. It’s a pain in the ass and it sucks because it is all political theater. We know we are not going to get the job, the owners have told us they are going to give it to another contractor but they need us to submit a bid because they are a publicly traded company and there are minimum requirements that need to be met. (we don’t even have the ability to take on this project when it is scheduled to start) But they are a good client that gives us lots of work so we have to make these political sacrifices (with MY personal time!)
Hey Rock
can’t you get reimbursed by your company?
And maybe some comp time as well?
And maybe bill the client for a 9.5 escort to drive / show you around DC? You know, just to improve the mood of the man putting the pseudo bid together so it smells good?
Understand the bid process. We’ve put bids in things that we didn’t want just so the feds could have two proposals. It’s the only time I write a bad proposal. Next time then. I probably should buy you a beer to make up for all the grief I give you.
So you insult someone’s lady friends on Fathers Day after he’s been out fishing all day with business associates, and when he responds with a “c’mon man” type backslap, you run like a wuss and sniffle “lawsuit” instead of saying “sorry buddy, but that’s a private boat.”
He was afraid of the dark….lol
Hill reportedly told the guy that he could buy HIM AND THE BOAT if he wanted to (before offering him $200 later)
Yeah, I would press charges too. NO MFER you CANNOT buy me and you are not better than me, see you in court.
