Dolphins Take A Look At Jones

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Breaking News, Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

The Miami Dolphins were one of 4 teams that attended a pre-draft style workout for former Lions Kevin Jones.  Jones who has an injury history was released earlier this off-season.  He along with former NFL star Shaun Alexander are still without a team.
Phins GM Jeff Ireland was asked recently about the status of the teams players in attempt at an off handed question regarding Jason Taylor’s status.  Ireland said that all Miami Players are available.  On the surface it may raise some eye-brows until it is realized that of the Dolphins’ some odd 80 players, none would likely garner much interest at [...]

Don Shula Retires Vs. WFL

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

The Miami Dolphins have had their share of “unmemorable” events.  From horrid draft picks to bad coaching.  Some were one time affairs while others had a more lasting impact on the teams history.  As we wind down the first round of “worst events” in Phins history, we explore the retirement of a legend and a defection of 3 others.  All in an attempt to put these moments behind us as we move into a new era.
Don Shula is as much a father to the Miami Dolphins as our own fathers are to us.  He built the team that was, took [...]

Weekend Tease

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins, Off-Topic/Other | COMMENTS: None Yet

We have all had one of those, doesn’t matter if your a male or female.  You buy the drinks, you accept the drinks, you spend your cash, you think he is single…it’s all a tease.  So I figured what the hell.
Coming this week is the final 3 Worst of events in Miami Dolphins history.  These final 3 days of round 1 will conclude on Wednesday.  Then a 4 day wait for the final votes and the following Monday will begin round 2. 
On Thursday, yet another part of our exclusive feature on the story of Marlin Briscoe and the film in [...]

Politician Williams Exclaims "4 More Years"

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 4 Comments

Ricky Williams has spent more time peeing in a cup than he has picking up yards for the Miami Dolphins.  A retirement, a suspension, the threat of an 8 million dollar lawsuit, a reinstatement, a suspension, a failed drug test while on suspension, a delay in reinstatement, a reinstatement, an season ending shoulder injury.  Say that 10 times fast.  Now, it appears that Ricky Williams, in the tradition of a political candidate exclaims he wants “4 more years”.
Apparently the time missed while serving his suspension has saved the RB some wear and tear…of course the fact that after this season [...]

Florida Crude

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins, NFL, Off-Topic/Other | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

There are, on rare occassions, a mixture of politics and football.  Arlen Specter and the New England Patriots come to mind immediately.  Yet while America turns it’s political attentions to this falls Presidential race and the skyrocketing prices of crude oil, our lives are supposed to go on as normal.  Yet normal these days are redefined…if not “refined“.
Take a trip around the NFL fan forums boards and you will see that Direct TV customers have received their renewal notice for the upcoming season and while the NFL Sunday Ticket is priced at about 250 bucks, the real pinch is coming in the [...]

A Top 5 List Worth Viewing

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

Matt Loede should be applauded.  One of the writers for Gridirongab.com, Loede has affirmed what many Miami Dolphins fans think.  The Phins, entering training camp, are not one of the top 5 worst offenses in the NFL. 
That distinction goes to Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, and  San Francisco 49ers.  While the Phins have questions along the offensive line, the depth and starting WR’s, and of course no clear cut QB, it is nice to see that at least someone realizes that this team is not last years team and with better coaching and game planning, our [...]

Ricky Williams Vs. Jamar Fletcher

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

Two offspring of former HC Dave Wannstedt show up in our 4th match-up of the worst events in Miami Dolphins history. Ricky Williams and Jamar Fletcher.
Ricky Williams came out of Texas in 1999 to the roar of a New Orleans crowd as the 5th overall pick. 3 seasons and 2 more 1st round draft picks later, Ricky Williams was in Miami. Williams immediately appeared to be paying dividends for the Dolphins. In his first season, 2002, with the Phins, he made the Pro-Bowl and lead the NFL in rushing with over 1,800 yards, the trade appeared to be a steal. [...]

Mock Draft '09

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

Our friend Daniel over at NFLMocks.com is doing a fan based poll on next years early draft predictions.  The Miami Dolphins are not only on the clock, but they are not drafting in the top 4.  He has Miami drafting in the 5 spot.  Out of the cellar we are.
In any case, it’s a close 3 way battle between Tim Tebow, Selvie, and Myron Rolle.  Head on over and cast your vote for the Dolphins first pick in the 09 draft.

Voting Error

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

In the “Event” match-up between Dan Marino’s retirement and the loss to NE in the 1985 AFC Title game, an error occured on the system that prevented many people from voting.
That problem has been fixed.  If you were unable to cast a vote for that match-up, it should be working now.
Thank you.

Cam Cameron Vs. Eddie Moore

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 4 Comments

Continuing our countdown to the worst event in Miami Dolphins history, today our match-up is the one win Cam Cameron vs. the Eddie “freakin” Moore.
Cam Cameron was the end result of Miami Dolphins’ owner Wayne Huizengas’ extensive coaching search after the ill-timed resignation of Nick Saban.  Considered one of the bright minds in the NFL, Cameron was deemed an offensive wizard.  Leaving San Diego as an offensive Co-ordinator, Cameron became the 7th coach in Dolphins history, and the 4th HC in 3 seasons.
Cameron made no friends when it was announced that with the 9th overall pick, the Phins would pass [...]
