Dolphins' gloomy outlook: Win odds for each game; plus my latest video (U-S-A!), Canes football over/under, Garrard, Uncle Luke, naked sushi & more

NEW VIDEO! WHY YOU SHOULD BE ROOTING FOR U.S. WOMEN'S SOCCER MORE THAN FOR LEBRON'S TEAM USA: Click on YouTube/TheGregCote for my latest video, the eighth we've done so far.

Marlins activate Giancarlo Stanton. 2) Happy to be back from a week's vacation (more on that below) and in the Blog Saddle again. 3) Join us at Twitter.com/gregcote. 4) U.S. places land rover on Mars. Obama links his administration with NASA triumph. Not to be outdone, Romney says he invented Mars]

"U-S-A!" WOMEN'S SOCCER WINS OLYMPIC THRILLER: America's women's soccer team played itself into the gold-medal match vs. Japan with a 4-3 overtime thriller over Canada yesterday. Extra time in the second overtime, seconds from a penalty-kicks tiebreaker, when Alex Morgan's goal decided it. USA rallied from three deficits to win. One of the best moments of these London Games. (In more of a ho-hum result, LeBron James and Team USA routed Argentina 126-97 in men's basketball).

DOLPHINS ONLY FAVORED TO WIN FIVE GAMES, SAYS MEAN-SPIRITED COMPUTER: The good folks at predictionmachine.com have run the coming NFL season 50,000 times (so you don't have to) and what spits out is not good news for Miami. Dolphins are given more than a 50 percent chance of winning in only 5 games and, factoring upsets, are given an overall victory over/under of 6.5. Best bets to win the Super Bowl are the Eagles (18% likelihood), Patriots (14.2), Packers (9.2), Texans (9.2) and Steelers (7.2), with Miami's title shot put at 0.2%. Game-by-game, here is how the computer sees the Dolphins chances of winning, from most to least likely: 65.8% vs Titans (Game 9); 61.6 vs Jaguars (G14); 60.2 @ Colts (G8); 54.6 vs Rams (G6); 52.3 vs Raiders (G2); 48.5 vs Jets (G3); 44.5 vs Seahawks (G11); 41.1 vs Bills (G15); 37.8 @ Cardinals (G4); 33.7 @ Jets (G7); 32.5 @ Bills (G10); 31.1 @ Bengals (G5); 27.5 vs Patriots (G12); 27.0 @ Texans (G1); 20.7 @ 49ers (G13); and 15.6 @ Patriots (G16).

Garrard out the gate as starting QB: Dolphins' first official in-season depth chart is out and has David Garrard at No. 1 quarterback ahead of Matt Moore and rookie Ryan Tannehill. But, as coach Joe Philbin said in a late-morning news conference, "It's a fluid situation." Offensive chief Mike Sherman today, on his QB situation: "That will not be a weakness of our football team. We'll have a good starter when we get done." Dolphins open their preseason schedule this Frday night at home vs. Tampa Bay.

Poll result: Dolfans not a real optimistic bunch: In the previous blogpost we invited you all to set expectations for the coming Dolphins season (you can still vote) and a plurality of 37.3 peercent voted "short again: 7 or 8 wins." Next came "wild-card contention: 9 wins" with 32.6%, followed by "not pretty: 6 or fewer wins" with 20.9%. Only 9.2% voted for "playoffs: 10-plus wins."

CANES FOOTBALL PEGGED FOR 7 WINS: The latest Bovada over/unders on regular-season college football wins peg UM for 7, trailing fellow in-staters FSU (10), Central Florida (8.5), Florida (8) and South Florida. Nothing for FIU or FAU, although I'd guess Panthers for around 9 and Owls for about 4. Nationally, joining Noles in double-digits are Alabama, Oregon and Southern Cal at 10.5 and LSU and Oklahoma at 10.

UNCLE LUKE PREVAILS: Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell (pictured), former notorious 2 Live Crew frontman turned Miami high-school football coach, has won a court fight to regain his full coaching certificate to continue as Northwestern's defensive coordinator. It was a victory over the Florida Department of Education, which was letting its view of Luke's past obscure the good he does now. Congrats to Luke and to his terrific attorney, our friend Mike Carney of Kubicki Draper.

OLYMPICS UPDATE: PHELPS PARTIES WITH GOLD MEDALS, PINOCCHIO IN JAVELIN: TMZ.com reports that swimmer Michael Phelps has been partying in London with his gold medals (pictured left), which is considerably more acceptable than partying in London with his bong. Note to regular guys in London bars: You have no pickup line that will compete with Michael Phelps whipping out his gold. Pictured right: Google's latest Olympics-related icon appears to picture Pinoccio throwing a javelin. Serious Olympic comment: Serena Williams' gold-medal obliteration of Maria Sharapova was about as dominant a major championship performance as I can recall. Click here to hear a Jacksonville sportscaster rant against Bob Costas signing off past midnight. Updated pertinent Summer Olympics medal leaders are below, entering today's/Tuesday's action:

China 31 gold - 19 silver - 14 bronze -- 64 total

United States 29 - 15 - 19 -- 63

Great Britain 19 - 12 - 12 -- 43

Cote d'Ivoire 0 - 0 - 0 -- 0

Let's go Cote, Official National Team of This Blog!

Spoiler Alert! LeBron, Team USA win basketball gold!: I am tired of media outlets giving Olympic Spoiler Alerts. This is the instant-information age. If you honestly desire a self-imposed info blackout so that you can be surprised by a result eight hours after it happened, well, you're on your own, pal.

EATING SUSHI OFF A NAKED WOMAN: Well who hasn't, right? A Miami Beach restaurant, Kung Fu Kitchen & Sushi, offers -- for $500 -- a platter of sushi served atop a nude woman (pictured). I see at least one health-code violation (no hair net). Personally, I'll stick with a standard dinner plate, thanks. Although I wouldn't mind being at the table next to the person ordering the Nudie Roll.

LATEST WORLD SERIES ODDS: Bovada's post-trade-deadline, stretch-run odds to win the World Series have it Yankees at 19-4, Rangers 5-1, Angels 15-2, Nationals 9-1 and Reds/Tigers both 10-1. Bleepin' Nats! Your disappointing Marlins are slotted 21st and can't imagine many takers even at 90-1.

MY SUMMER VACATION: Just returned from an eight-day New England holiday around Massachusetts and Maine. We started and ended in Boston, around the Wharf/North End area, and in between we hit Bar Harbor, Boothsbay Harbor and Ogunquit in Maine, and then Salem and Provincetown in Mass. The latter is proudly self-proclaimed as the gayest city in America and was, for its everybody-gets-along diversity, as impressive and memorable in its way as the vista of rocky coastline. Special thanks to that Minke whale for the impressive breaching. (Who knew there were Minke whales?) The scale says I gained only three pounds while away, which is stunning because I think I ate approximately 415 pounds of lobster and also may have consumed a beer or two, as indicated here.

DEAR GREG...: "...your blog's OK but would be better if occasionally you would show a photo of an unbearably cute dog with plaintive eyes wearing a nautical life-vest. Thank you." Dear reader: Doubt I can find such a photo, sorry.

Click back. Will be updating/adding much more to this Back From Vacation Jubilee Blogpost...

[Mr. Woodcock]

Welcome back, Cote. You can forget about any landing at the Olympics they all pale in comparison to what NASA and JPL did last night when Curiosity stuck its landing on Mars. In my lifetime there has been nothing that compares to NASA's successes. Just great, great, stuff.

[Big Baby]

Cote rocking the hanging sox hat sweet.

Bar Harbor wow that's a hike from Boston do they have a high speed ferry for that trip?

Sounds like a good time those places are fun to visit.

[Big Baby]

Visit Portsmouth, NH next time on way to Maine nice little place for a lunch or walk around for a bit.

[AnonymousCane]

NASA does rock, too bad many of this administration's promises to the workers that were laid off were just empty words meant to satisfy for the time being!

[Big Baby]

I feel bad for Brevard County NASA was their identity big loss for them.

[FZB]

well, at least your not dead or in jail, welcome back Cote...Nice shirt.

that computer that predicted the Dolphins record don't know shit, the Dolphins will be in the playoff hunt and win between 8-10 games, I'm drinking the kool aid.

Garrard numero uno?, no big surprise there, everyone on this blog knew it already.

its never good when people get laid off, lets hope they can get back on their feet right away.

[Big Baby]

FZB I think we were in the 9.2 percent who voted 10 wins I know I did maybe I am crazy but maybe not.

[FZB]

Baby, Its obvious no one knows more football than you and me, I think david in La also is drinking the kool aid.

Garrard is like Chad Pennington but with a better arm and athleticism, my reasoning is simple, we have a very good defense , our O Line is improved and if we get steady QB play ( which we should from Garrard ) then we will be in every game except a couple,NE-Texans come to mind...

Mike Sherman just said that QB play won't be a weakness on this team this year and I believe him..

8 to 10 wins is not that far fetch..

[Big Baby]

I expect them to be in EVERY game including Texans and both NE games there just aren't any scary teams in the AFC anymore.

[Naples Jack]

You guys are dreaming with 8-10 wins, and in every game. How the hell are they going to score enough points? Now I understand why Sherman was back in college after he got fired in Green Bay. Qb will not be a weakness!!! Is he fu##ing serious? As they say, when you have 3 QBS, you dont have a QB.

[Big Baby]

Hey worry about your own team with no running backs, a roster full of WR's who don't practice, and still a crappy defense.

[FZB]

HE HE HE, Naples Jack is on the warpath today.

Naple's, there are other teams besides the Patriots out there that can win games, the funny thing is that the Patriots also have a very easy schedule and they are going to win a bunch of games and create a false sense of security with their fans.

the Pats suck in defense, you guys are going to have to outscore everybody...

[Mr. Woodcock]

I've had to pick up Garrard for my fantasy team when I needed a quarterback and he sucks donkey dicks. Even during his best years with Jacksonville he sucked. Kaz, is right about Dolphs QBs not good.

[FZB]

Oye, don't get contaminated with Kaz, he is clueless when it comes to football.

[Big Baby]

You realize that there are only a few impact fantasy qb's in the league anyway right?

He looks in much better shape and can still run his arm is strong enough and he throws a good deep ball as stats showed his last healthy season.

I won my league last year word of advice take Calvin Johnson with your first pick I did it paid off.

[Big Baby]

When you have Megatron you have a winner.

[FZB]

that naked shushi girl looks very healthy to me..I wonder how much she will charge to come to my house and lay on my dinner table.

she can even wear that mask too...

[Naples Jack]

Big Baby- You can bet your life when the season starts, the wrs will be on the field, the rbs will run the ball. Brady will put the numbers up, and the Pats will win 13-14 games. The Pats will play the teams the NFL tells them to, and they will put 28-36 points against all but 3-4 teams they play. I am not worried about the Pats wrs. They are 6-7 deep at wr, thats why they can cut a stiff like Chad, and he is a big vocal point in Miami. Who in Miami is going to stop Welker, Lloyd, Gronk, Hernandez, Gaffney ? The bottom line is, if they think Garrard, and Moore is the ansewer, they are crazy. Find out if Tanahill is there future, play the guy. #8 overall, they must think the guy has talent. Start the guy, let him take his lumps, and learn. They can win 4-5 games with him. What do you get with the other 2, 6-7 games tops, big deal.

[Big Baby]

Agree your offense will be scary good or should be but your running backs are mostly unproven and your defense ranked almost last in the league those are just the facts.

Garrard will be vg in the WC offense you will be surprised and with our weak schedule and our very good defense I see us right there competing.

Stop obsessing about Chad also it's a little weird.

[r. duke]

Somethin' 'bout fish all over blonde cutie that is HOT! I wouldn't want to eat anything off of her in a filthy $500.00 a plate public restaurant though.

[r. duke]

Hey can't blame computor for grim Dolphins outlook. Fins organization created that input. Cote you're looking very much alive nice to see. Don't let Micheal Vick near cute dog in bottom pic for f***sake..

[Naples Jack]

FZB- Big Baby- The Browns just named Weeden there starting QB. The Dolphins need to get off the snide, and start Tannahill. Its not like the Fins are that much better then the Browns.
Big Baby, I just cant believe they will waste there time with an idiot like Chad. BB does not cut a veteran he liked like Chad, if he thought he had anything left. On another note, we agree about Portsmouth,NH. I lived there for 2yrs many moons ago, before it was the spot it is now.

[Big Baby]

If I was the Browns I would start Weeden too he's probably their best option right now McCoy is not a good starting NFL QB.

Tannehill is not our best option right now the coaching staff agrees let's let this thing play out before we judge.

Chad is first team right now that has to say something about his ability at this point.

[Big Baby]

Jack Portsmouth is nice a lot of tourists there now but still a good place to visit.

I am headed up to Hampton Beach, in a few weeks for visit that place probably hasn't changed much the usual boardwalk people etc.

Kids have never been so it should be fun my uncle has a place up there.

[FZB]

I think naples is worried about 8-5..

I'm rooting for him to score at one TD on the patsies, that would make my day..

[Naples Jack]

FZB- 8-5 stole a paycheck every 2 weeks last year in Foxboro, thats my beef with the guy. just shows how far away the Dolphins are, if he is in the mix in Miami.

[FZB]

i actually didn't think that 8-5 was going to make the team but the guy seems to be on a mission, he has always been a very good receiver in the NFL and had an off year at NE for whatever reason.

you said it, you are just pissed off with the guy because the guy just stole money from the Patriots, so what ?...Parcells came here and stole money from the Dolphins, hey shit happens, no big deal.

The Dolphins are a young team and I think that finally we may have found our QB of the future, Ireland is putting together a good solid team, we still have holes but we have a better defense than the Patriots and that's a good start, Brady can't play forever at a hight level, I thinkl we are going to be competitive against you guys this year..

8-10 wins are very possible..

[FZB]

ooops...sorry guys I was typing fast.

"8-10 wins is very possible"

[I am Kazaam]

Five wins is about right, all the teams on that 'easy' schedule the Dolphins play are better than them.

Garrard is a waste of time, worst case scenario for 2012 is Garrard or Moore Penningtoning the team to a wildcard game and forcing the team to waste yet another season in 2013. Tannehill needs to be starting from day one, those other two band aids can't do anything to progress the franchise.

Big Baby and FZB are the most delusional homers on the planet, must be nice.

[I am Kazaam]

HIV positively delusional.

Since the 2002 Fiesta Bowl I haven't cared about a team's losses and I think Moorrard could turn this 2008ish schedule into a wildcard. I'm not 'negativo' on UM, the Ravens, or obviously the Heat. I'm looking forward to Navy football like I do every year.

But I want the Dolphins to fix themselves by finding a long term quarterback. The Dolphins and delusional homers want to win as many games as possible in 2012 and be dispatched in the first round by a team with a quarterback. You know, 'something to build on'. Dolphins are looking to sell tickets for weeks 15 and 16 but I'm not sure what the delusional homers are thinking.

They've been tortured by this franchise as long as anyone else. It's nationally recognized as broken and broken specifically because they haven't have a quarterback. Because they've started 16 stopgaps since Dan Marino without drafting a single top flight prospect until Tanny Boy. And he was a stretch at #8 and isn't supposed to be ready until 2013.

So I guess the delusional homers are thinking that Tannehill's a sure thing and we might as well have a nice season before he has a chance to take over and answer our prayers.

If you think you know what Tannehill will be because you have faith in Jeff Ireland or trust an expert's opinion or liked what you saw in training camp or in the preseason, you're a fool. Chad Henne led a game winning drive in the preseason, I felt good with what I saw his rookie year.

You have to see what they do in real games, there's no substitute. Sitting Tannehill to try to win games with a stop-gap is a continuation of the loser mentality that has doomed the Dolphins since Marino retired.

Cote nic to see your back. Greg needs to fess up on his where abouts recently. He's been protesting Chic-fil-A's arount the country. Rumor has it he's been traveling with Dennis Rodman.

[mike1]

I have yet to catch up on these blogs, but the lack of interest in Olympics discussion is fascinating. I won't get into Phins talks til Olympics are done..no point anyway as we all know it's a hopeless season.

As I've already said how much I hate NBC's tape delayed, edited, over-stuffed commentaries and feel good stories, I do enjoy getting a good look at sports we rarely get to see which are big in much of the world.

The US men's volleyball team has been astounding, peaking at the right moment. They almost never place high in the annual world championships ..but finally made a Final (losing to Poland) a month ago, and now the hottest team in the Olympics with a great shot at Gold.

I think Field Hockey games are actually being played at Boise State.

Some end to end action in Handball.

[mike1]

I didn't get to see the dramatic USA women's soccer win today; so it's hard to make heads or tails whether we got a way with a big one or not as the opinions are diverse. I rarely see a free kick called for delay..most of the time it's a yellow card. I didn't see the handball to be able to judge whether it was a harsh call.

BUT..I did see Neymar flying 5 feet everytime he was touched in the Brazil-Honduras game. Honduras leaing 1-0..Neyma succeeds in gettig a guy ejected resulting in one man advantage for 60 minutes. Another dive results in a penalty kick helping Brazil draw level again. Several more flying dives help earn Honduas some more yellows. Stadium fan were booed Neymar big time.

This guy is supposed to be the next world star and is joining the ranks of the biggest cheats...to add to the likes of Maradona, de Rossi, Gross, Henry, C. Ronaldo, etc.

Why do the most talented players have to cheat?

Why does Brazil have to cheat?..is it the pressure when they are losing?

Why do the big name teams always get the calls? ..is this the reason the small guys can't progress to the next level?

Honduras fully deserved that game. Another tragic result in soccer history.

[Mr. Woodcock]

I'm just busting buttons here boys, my cousin Manuel de Leon, was the project manager for the United Launch Alliance team that put the Curiosity Mars Rover in space. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Kazaam!

[I am Kazaam]

The olympics suck.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/hungarys-szilagyi-pulls-off-upset-inchrist-one-mor,29039/

[I am Kazaam]

Sounds like the Jets are already falling apart, and they haven't even gotten to the quarterback controversy part yet!

[Mr. Woodcock]

No, you suck, Kazaam, while you were in Australia getting sun burn and jelly fish stings, sucking on dramamine all day, and eating at McDonald's instead of at the country club buffet real scientists were sticking the landing on Mars.

[Big Baby]

Yup you know it's the Onion when those idiot liberal bloggers there take The Lord's name in vain while writing an unfunny sports headline.

[I am Kazaam]

Man, for a non-guranteed contract the Dolphins should have taken a look at Terrell Owens. He's a sh*t head but no more so than their other retread diva receiver, might as well have gotten a big body into camp besides Naanee and the young scrubs.

Matter of fact they should bring in Plaxico Burress. Dude grabbed EIGHT touchdowns for the Jets last season, could easily take up two defenders in the red zone.

[I am Kazaam]

You know you're kind of a douche stick when you're offended by 'The Onion'.

[Big Baby]

Keep posting links to offensive garbage and I will continue to be offended.

[I am Kazaam]

Go rinse the sand out of your vagina Big Baby, it's a joke article on a joke website.

[I am Kazaam]

Tracy Howard, the top CB recruit in the country that UM stole away from UF on signing day, is already playing with the first team! Black jersey!

[Mr. Woodcock]

Kaz, who's going to be our starting QB?

[I am Kazaam]

Tracy Howard. He's also going to be the kicker and punter. Might even see a little time as Sebastian.

[Big Baby]

Agree there Kazaam that website is a joke.

Are you denying that there is no liberal agenda there?

I am sure that's why you like it.

[I am Kazaam]

I think anyone that would see a 'liberal agenda' in the Onion or a 'conservative agenda' in South Park before seeing the comedy is a douche stick with a sandy vagina.

[Big Baby]

So some hack taking the Lord's name in vain in a sports headline is appropriate?

Very unprofessional and lacking in taste but expected considering the source.

[I am Kazaam]

Jesus Christ, it's just a joke.

[Big Baby]

Yup zebra didn't want to show his stripes and now he has.

Don't be ashamed of who you are just let the world know ok it's easier that way.

The world is full of atheist dinks just the way it is.

[FZB]

Woodcock,

Mad props to your cousin Manuel, A "cubano" helping put the rover land in mars?...Nice.

Soooo senor Kaz, what are you?...a liberal douche? or
a liberal independent douche ?

Baby, usually the media in general is liberal, the Onion is just about entertainment and for people that have a very strange sense of humor, perfect for Kaz.

Tracy Howard will be a stud for the Canes, you gotta love what Golden is building down in Coral Gables, lets hope we don't get "hammered" by the NCAA.

Woodcock, our starter will be Morris.No question.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Morris, eh, Kazaam, why can't you answer a question with a straight answer? Douche.

[FZB]

So Kaz tells me yesterday that the Dolphins will win 5 games and that "all team they will play are better than them"...lets see.

1- @ Houston-loss
2- Oakland-even game
3- NY Jets-win
4- @ Arizona-even game
5- @ Cinci -loss
6- st loui-win
7- @ NY Jets-loss
8- Indy -win
9- Tenn -even
10- @Buffalo-loss
11- Seattle-win
12- NE -loss
13- SF -loss
14- Jack -win
15- Buffalo-win
16- @NE -loss

by my count..

6-wins / 7 losses / 3 even games that could go either way, I'm being very fair in my assesment, I'm not saying we are world beaters but 8 wins is very reasonable and if we get a break here and there we could hit 10 wins.

[Big Baby]

Not a lot of breaks needed.

That's 10 wins if we get breaks it's more.

[Big Baby]

I count 4 playoff teams from last year on that schedule.

Houston- is flat out good so maybe a loss.

Cincy- overrated they were 1-7 last year against teams with winning records Dalton comes back to earth.

SF- Our defense is not losing to Alex Smith.

NE- Split with them likely.

Just take care of business with the rest of the sad sack teams and we are in for good things.

[FZB]

that SF team is loaded.. you see them winning over there?..I don't know.

NE is having all kinds of issues on the offensive line which is the key to their team, if they can't keep Brady clean they will lose a couple of more games than usual but I still think they'll win the division..I hope you're right about the Dolphins beating NE, that would be sweet.

I figure we split with the Jets but we might be able to beat them twice.

[Big Baby]

that SF team is loaded.. you see them winning over there?..

FZB I see them winning everywhere you know it's me you're talking to !

[Big Baby]

NaplesJack I am ordering a Chad Johnson jersey home whites just for you.

[FZB]

19-0 ...yeah boy !!!

I'm In, I'm drinking the kool aid..

[shes a whore]

I'm sure that naked sushi whorebag is used to taking plenty of jizz shots to her face in that position as well.

f'in cumslut

[Big Baby]

Not to be a downer but I think this way every year and well you know how that has worked out lately.

This year is different though I really think we have a good qb that can take us to the playoffs and do some damage.

[Compliance & Sanctions]

Dear Miami Hurricane fans,

I think the rest of the country will agree that after this season, President Donna Shalala will get the green light from her Board of Trustees to begin tossing dirt on the box she sourced this off-season to bury the program in. Just like the beloved OB stadium, your program will rest in peace for all eternity.

Cordially yours,

NCAA Board of Compliance/Sanctions Cmtee.

[Big Baby]

Doesn't Uncle Luke admittedly still run a website related to his infamous past?

How did he beat that rap?

[I am Kazaam]

Show my stripes? Just because I don't ascribe to your stupid beliefs doesn't make me an atheist.

[Mr. Woodcock]

I know this guy, FZ, he's a USC graduate.

[Big Baby]

Calling my beliefs stupid likely makes you an atheist.

[FZB]

you think he and shadow know each other?...mui posible.

OC must be working and nowhere near a computer or doing the census on those bats, maybe he wants to know how many there are.

[I am Kazaam]

Telling you I'm not an atheist likely means I'm not an atheist.

[Big Baby]

Calling my beliefs stupid takes you out of the agnostic category.

There is only one choice left and that's it.

[I am Kazaam]

Your beliefs are dumber than the beliefs of those 'dinks' who call themselves atheists.

There's no such thing as an agnostic, it's nonsensical to say higher powers are 'unknowable', they certainly could be known if they chose to reveal themselves on a scale larger than a single schizophrenic nut job off by himself in a cave or the woods.

[Naples Jack]

HARD KNOCKS, HBO-! 10PM,CANT WAIT!!! MATT MOORE NOT HAPPY AS #2 ON DEPTH CHART. CANT WAIT!!!

[Mr. Woodcock]

That might be your dumbest post, Kaz.

[I am Kazaam]

Yea, well if I'm wrong Jospeh Smith's or Moses' or Muhammad's god can go ahead and strike me dead. They don't dare, bunch of pussies.

[Mr. Woodcock]

I hope that you don't have this thought in your head the next time you go diving. Not good, Kaz, not good at all.

[duke of yorkshire]

Sweet Jesus, Kaz do what r. duke does...

[Mr. Woodcock]

This has to be the most classic piece of writing ever put out on ESPN's website.

I can't believe that Norberto made it into the book.

Just classic stuff.

"In a city where a pediatrician once attempted to sink a freighter with a bazooka."

Just classic.

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8240657/nat-moore-dolphins-history-miami-bass

[FZB]

and what exactly is that dukes-ter ?

so who or what exactly do you believe in senor kaz ?

hey to each his own, everyone believes in something or in someone, if you don't think there is a god then that is your belief that is your reality but if you on the other hand think there is a god then that is ok too, that would be YOUR reality, what matters is what makes you comfortable, Baby, Kazaam is just expressing his opinion about his belief's and really his opinion doesn't matter in your reality.

now if this makes a little sense to you or anyone else, may I suggest you guys read "the four agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz...highly recommend it.

don't forget that hard knocks is on tonight @ 10 pm

[dukey]

FZB, uses "Sweet Jesus" so as to not blaspheme/offend any gun toting fundamentalist police out there.

[duke]

Don Miguel Ruiz good stuff FZB. There is meditation on Four Agreements on youtube.

[Captain Uranus]

You can bend right over Kazaam so we can see your blooming Onion!

[Captain Uranus]

8-5 flathead posters are in! Get one for Naples Jack while your at it! Now,,, what to do with my Henne 7's home & aways? Shoot, almost bought a Marshall jersey last yr 2.

[Jimbo]

5-11 sounds right. if Miami gets 6 wins that means they beat the Jets twice.

During that Presser a Reporter shoulda asked Chad Johnson if he keeps his Big Red Nose n Floppy Shoes in his Locker or at Home? Dude's a Clown.

Big smile during tonight's Olympics. The men's high bar event continues to evolve. gymnasts are doing stuff comparable to LeBron stuff, just balls-out crazy. Congrats to the dude from Netherlands.

btw, what's with all the yellow shoes in track & field?

[Big Baby]

Little too much Chad but overall awesome on Hard Knocks.

All of the QB's look like leaders already one will emerge.

Joe Philbin seems to have good coaching abilities.

It can only get better too watch.

[OC Dolphin]

Well, if in fact EVERYONE is touting a 5 game winning season, they best start looking at a #2 draft pick.

Wow, so much to say, so little desire to expound on it. Olympics are great, we could do better, much better! Like be in the medals every event, but the money is going to entitlement programs. Dolphins Hardknocks, a fluff piece to introduce coaches and players, hopefully it gets better! The Dolphins have a long way to go and Philbin still looks like C3PO. Congrats to Aly Raisman for winning 2 golds and 1 bronze in gymnastics. Kudos to Phelps, his record speaks for itself!!!

The best part of the show were the Starbrites, more of them and less of Chad Johnson, although his wife has a great rack I wouldn't mind seeing more of her poolside, she's a triple bagger though. Philbin.....too soon to tell, gut feeling is we're going to suck big wally this year. By the fifth week if Philbin continues to put me and the team to sleep I may be watching re runs of I Love Lucy on cable.

[Mr. Woodcock]

The guy is a breath of fresh air just swims and kicks ass no excuses and no prima dona crap. The more I think of it the Dolphs first show was pure shit.
