Comments

Pay back for LeBatard dissing the Dolphins all those years in columns. I suspect he disses them even more now.

Why don't we just get the Old Navy chimp to fling paint all over the place? He'll work for cigarettes and Xanax.

What stadium will the World Cup games be played if indeed Miami wins the bid? Greg I hope you're not hiding this CRUCIAL piece of information just because its FIU Stadium.

By then we'll be in a bigger conference, dominating, and have 50,000 capacity. FAU will still be playing in Lockart, that is if you still have a football team.

Raul, your not seriously thinking about having a "DAMN DIRTY APE" decorate are you?? i think maybe he could rewrite the phins fight song though, but decorate????I hear Cornelius does great re writes on songs, What do you think??

anti christian- damn dirty ape. good line, Charlton Heston.

I don't care about the second rate entertainers hanging out with the Dolphins owner. Don't care about a song either.

All I do care about is the Miami Dolphins going on a dynasty run with some Super Bowl wins!!!! Wouldn't hurt to stomp on Brady's back either. Wouldn't hurt to bitch slap TO sometime when he's on a slant route.

I predicted that Sean Smith was going to shine and start CB opposite Will Allen. Not set in stone but that guy has already surpassed veteran free agent pickup Eric Green on the depth chart.
Read Armando's article where he changed his tune about the teams idiocy in not chasing a veteran WR. Seems he took in some practice time and saw a hard working/talented group of young no-bodies and came away impressed. He should change his "In my opinion" to "I ain't got a fu**ing clue".

Jimbo,

i hear you on sean smith. he will start before vontae davis as his coverage skills are good; the downside is that he is not a great tackler but in today's NFL a sure tackler does not rate as high as aguy who can stay with his man downfield. plus, sean smith is an intelligent young man which fits the dolphins' profile. vontae davis' mouth will not endear him to the coaches as quickly as he would like.

"Dolphins win in Shark Beeritaville?" lol Cornelius paint flinger extraordinare. Equally lol to slapping TO. Actually TO image is HA HA HA HA HA....

Mr Duke, Knowing youre love for music,what are your thoughts on the doors?? I started to really listen to them recently, to bad Morrison died when he did..

"the one you hear ad nauseum at the home stadium after every Miami score. "

2 years ago, we'd have given anything to have the chance to hear it.

My vote is no fight song. I like the fan singing/chanting done at European soccer games or even by the Seattle Sounders soccer fans, who have great fans. Now that is real energy.

No to hip hop, rap, whatever. I liked the original as a kid; and it has a nice melody. But it's not a fight song. And it's not even ours..we didn't invent it.

I guess I'm for no fight song until I hear something really good. However, I really wish I had been at the cheerleader modeling thing..those pics look great.

2018 World Cup --

First of all, Shalalalala is on the US bid committee, meaning we're sure to lose. Anyway, England is fully expected to win it. Our better chances are in 2022, but even then, Australia is favored.

2018 and 2022 are just too far away. 20 years ago, FIFA said Joe Robbie was one of the best stadiums for soccer in the world. Of course, many spectacular ones have been built since then. The US has a plethora of quality stadiums for the World Cup. T

he minimum capacity has to be 45K per current criteria. But since we're a big country with big stadiums, we would not waste the opportunity to make sure each chosen stadium is 70K +. The 45K limit is mostly for the smaller countries who don't build more than one large national stadium; because what would the local club teams do with more than 45K? Many cities in Europe have 3 to 5 soccer teams each. London, even more..like 10.

However, I'm sure Miami will be selected this time given the full international flavor now. Not just a Latin based city anymore as eastern Europeans, Siberians, etc have arrived.

mike1, i read it out of respect to you. read the comments below it.

You gotta wonder... If this is going to be so great,, why isn't the president, Congress, Senate going to be covered under the same?

Mike1, david in l.a. this is a very hot item for many americans. you guys believe what you want,, free country. don't disrespect the opposing view just because it is different. Mike1, I could pull up the Heritage foundation @ their posts and many others that are anti gov't health plan,, we could go around and around. I'm saving my best for town hall meeting locally with my US Reps. IF this goes thru,, many dems are going to lose their seats in the mid terms.
Mike, thanks for the Seattle info.

Shadow, I attended the AirForce-Utah game last yr and he played well. Saw the size of him and thought "what the f***, Utes are starting a LB at CB". dude is huge for the position. I read that he plays the run well too, assumed that meant actually tackling. Apparently Vontae Davis is not committed 100% yet. Being a 1st rd pick with big $, this gotta tick Parcells off. This Clemons guy- S from Clemson, getting good reports about him. Bell or Wilson gets hurt, this team is ok.
If you look at this teams depth chart, they have good talent accross the board. EVERY team suffers injuries, suspensions, etc. Being able to cope and move on without the bottom falling out shows good decissions by Ireland & CO. Since signing Parcells, this team has had tremendous vision and an excellent plan.

ant-christ I love the Doors. The End is one of my all-time favorite songs.

Jim's joke of the day:

Two Plastic Bags
A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic
> garbage bags behind her. One of the bags
> was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.
> Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are
> $20 bills falling out of that bag."
> "Oh really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back
> and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer."
> "Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. "Where did you get all that
> money? You didn't steal it, did you?"
> "Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next
> to the football stadium parking lot. On game days, a lot of fans come and pee
through a knot hole in the fence, right into my flower garden. It
> used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, 'why not
>
> make the best of it?' So, now, on game days, I stand behind the fence
> by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy
sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, 'O.K.,
> buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.'
> "Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK. Good luck!
> Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"
>
>
> "Well, you know", said the little old lady, "not everybody pays."

Jimbo, keep in mind that I don't care for this administration. But in this one instance, I'm for health care..always have. The health care that exists now has been getting more expensive and more restrictive for the last 10 years. Obviously, something is wrong.

Care needs to taken to do a universal plan correctly. At first, it will be a big financial plunge (like West Germany sudenly taking in East Germany ). And it will be rough around the edges. It will take time to mature; but it's long overdue.

Kind of like the Miami's metro. They first put it along the wrong kind of route. But since they built it; they should've kept right on going. No rail "system" is going to work well when it's only one line. The Moscow subway keeps expanding..non-stop. Now it's 28 yrs later and they still haven't expanded the metrorail.

Here, it's every man for ourselves. There, people are cared about. They believe in quality of life..33 - 36 hour work weeks; 5 weeks of vacation to start. Good pensions you can retire on. They recognize that life isn't just about working all the time. Two different concepts entirely.

The article I linked was not from some wing; it was from the Houston Chronicle, which is actually more pro-conservative. Those are facts anyway; I've seen those stats before. That 99,000 deaths by error figure doesn't count the number of docs who fudge the cause of death (no one wants to go to jail or get sued).

first of all leave the original song

also i think the word cup would be in land shark sta. but i think they should upgraded with a roof only if they get the world cup

the health care system in this country is atrocious, unless you are wealthy.. insurance companies hold all the cards: what they'll cover, whether they drop you or not, what doctors you can see and what medicines you can afford to take. there is no coverage for preventative care as well. we are essentially running a welfare state through the corporations, while at the same time being the only country WITHOUT access to group plans outside business. we rank low in lifespan, child health, and high when it comes to the amount of money spent on health care. it is a joke, and it needs to be changed..

Amen, David in LA.

david in los angeles,

in total agreement that the lack of a health plan that adequately protects ITS CITIZENS is something that needs some kind of fixing. just back from israel, where the health system is among the best in the world and which is funded by the government at a great expense. no one goes uncared for in the holy land.

mike1,

how are they gonna play mundial games here in the dead of summer? the heat/humidity are unbearable without having to run around chasing a ball for ninety minutes, and night games would be starting at 2 in the morning in europe; but then again, who cares about starting times when your team is in the mundial? i remember the 2-5-8 AM starts when the event was in japan/korea, and i was up and at em!!

Joke of the day:

Top 12 indicators the economy is bad...

12. CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

11. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

10. I went to buy a toaster oven and they gave me a bank.

9. Hotwheels and Matchbox car companies are now trading higher than GM in the stock market.

8. Obama met with small businesses - GE, Pfizer, Chrysler, Citigroup and GM, to discuss the Stimulus Package..

7. McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

6 People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and are learning their children's names.

5. The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.

4. People in Africa are donating money to Americans. Mothers in Ethiopia are telling their kids, "finish your plate; do you know how many kids are starving in America?"

3. Motel Six won't leave the lights on.

2. The Mafia is laying off judges.

1. If the bank returns your check marked as "insufficient funds," you have to call them and ask if they meant you or them.

I agree with David in LA and Shadow on the health care issue. We're not the worst in the world, but we lag behind most of the well off nations. There are some things we do well in medicine, equipment and technology for example..but many people are given the shaft in terms of quality and expense of care.

A healthy people is also good for the country in the long run.

Playing the WC in mid-summer in Miami would indeed be a challenge. In 1994, matches were played in Orlando and Dallas and you saw the northern Europeans come apart in the 2nd half. Having played in such conditions for years, I definitely know what it's like.

Here's an excerpt from the World Cup article in the Herald, followed by my comments:

``We host Super Bowls here. Why not the World Cup?''

>

"The financial windfall for bringing the World Cup is expected to dwarf that of the Super Bowl, considered the biggest one-day sporting event on the planet.
The World Cup, however, is a 32-team tournament that runs for a month, capped by a championship game viewed by nearly three-quarters of a billion people."

<

The European Champions League Final, the European Nation's Final and maybe the World Club Cup Final probably all exceed the SB.


My first attempt at posting did not keep all my comments. Let me try again.


Here's an excerpt from the World Cup article in the Herald, followed by my comments:

``We host Super Bowls here. Why not the World Cup?''

My comment: The SB's are in the winter, when Miami is the best place to be in the US

"The financial windfall for bringing the World Cup is expected to dwarf that of the Super Bowl, considered the biggest one-day sporting event on the planet.
The World Cup, however, is a 32-team tournament that runs for a month, capped by a championship game viewed by nearly three-quarters of a billion people."


My comment:
The SB is not the largest single day event, the World Cup Final is. The article even contributes to that fact by stating that the WC Final gets 750M viewers. The SB gets under 100M (though it's annual vs every 4 years).

The European Champions League Final, the European Nation's Final and maybe the World Club Cup Final probably all exceed the SB.


God P-51's were great once they stuck Rolls Royce engines in 'em. They could not be stopped. Much as I like Corsairs I'd have to go with P-51 in a dogfight or as long range bomber escort of choice....

Jimbo please no more lopped off penis jokes. There's nothing funny about an old women, hell any women cutting off a urinating penis with hedge clippers and stuffing remains in a grabage bag. I'm sorry old boy. I laughed but I cringed too...

get yer ya-yas out had a great version of midnight rambler. your thoughts anti-christ?

WC games would be at Land Shark. Even if FIU expands(which it shouldn't considering they can't fill it now) to 45K, you need 80K minimum to host opening and/or closing WC matches. LS holds in the area of 75K, and I'm sure the difference can be added in some way. The Marlins will finally be in their own park by then so the field will be ready for soccer in the summer.

What will also help Miami in drawing WC games is having a MLS team and a true soccer specific stadium before then. C'mon investors step up!

mike1,

if the northern europeans couldn't handle dalls or orlando, miami is gonna be a bit much for them to handle. the mundial is played in the summer, except for this tournament when it will be in the winter of south africa. it was hot in germany last time, but they didn't have the humidity that we have on the east coast of our good old USA.

gents,

having not read our host's column on coach howard, it is easy to say that at 75 the "game hasnot passed him by", one of the horrific platitudes used when coaches have been at the helm for a while. the late george allen came back to coach at long beach state after being out of football for years, and still managed to keep his streak of winning seasons intact, never having coached a team that had a losing record. the basics of football are blocking and tackling, and good coaches have teams that block and tackle well. everything past that is gimmickry and will fall short in the long run. and howard was on george allen's staff when george took over the rams (offensive co-ordinator); he probably still has never had a QB with the arm strength of roman gabriel.

Miami Ultra,

Marlins stadium won't be used, because 1. the capacity will be too small (though they'd have 8-12 years to modify it) 2. the field shape is too odd; you can fit the field in there, but two sides will be far from the field. 3. Most importantly, where are the Marlins going to play for 4 - 6 weeks?

An MLS soccer-only stadium will be too small..and will be used by MLS teams unless the MLS finally alters its schedule which it might do for that particular year). The stadium could be used for pre-tournament exhibitions and as a practice field.

By current standards, Joe Robbie stadium is fine (except not enough escalators). The location kind of stinks, but what can you do. If it gets selected, there will be a lot of time to make modifications to bring it up to whatever the 2018/2022 standards will be by then. Perhaps including some sort of temp. roof and a connection to metrorail and good transport links to the Broward & Dade beaches.


This is the Herald article about the World Cup support for Miami.

God Jimbo just look at my spelling in 1:10PM post and it's pretty apparent lopped off cocks are an unresolved Freudian issue for myself... anti-christ being a Gilmore guy have you seen Gilmore's Tribute Black Strat the Fender Custom Shop came out with recently? Very cool. Great case candy. Interesting pickup setup. Pricey as most Custom Shop babies are.

We should adapt Cuban state run health policy! You know, the place the Herald posted as the happiest country in the whole world. No body pays! It's free monies! We should guarantee life insurance too! We should guarantee everyone makes $100,000 a year working as union big shot for the government!

Almost too funny to believe
A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is in trouble!
1.I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)
2.I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .''
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''
his response -- click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''
She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
5.An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6.An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright (D) from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them''

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11. Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.'' I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''

12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''
'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.
After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere"

''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?''

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!
Could anyone be this DUMB?

YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

Jimbo, I'm just not clear on whether or not you would be willing to tag Angelina's a** and righteous pussy? I suspect from your recent postings you might be inclined to do so... My boss says same thing whenever I talk about how wackadoo high maintanence she seems to be. "I would do her in a second. She is absolutely beautiful yada yada yada..."

Cote you sure are tenacious when it cums to Micheal Vick.

duke,
Angelie with those pouty lips and nice body. ahhhh. I would tag everything on her. The wacko nut job, save the world crap,,, lets just say I wouldn't give her mouth much time to talk. "Ain't polite to talk with meat in your mouth Angelie"! "Damn girl, were civilized here, now pass the bucket of KFC". Not really a fan of tatoos on women but on her, I'd overlook.
My favorite Hollywood beauty is Catherine Zeta Jones--the thinner one on Oceans 12. Just flat out gorgeous, curvy, even though my preferred body style on a girl is leaner, smaller cup, nice legs and butt. So,, if I had my choice, after a prolonged weekend with Angelie , kick her to curb for Catherine.

Jimbo I bet Brad Pitt has just a big callous where his cock used to be.

Duke, probably so. I get the impression that she wants me though.

You guys see these Polish blonde triplets, violinists, on America's Got Talent last night?
Go to the photo section.

Can't wait for the LFL season to start. Wish I had a team over here.

The UFL Florida team is called the Tuskers. What is a Tusker, other than a beer from Kenya?

yawwwwn, is it time for dolphins kickoff yet?

Jimbo, I assume you are not saying yawwwwn after looking at the link I included above.
