How excited are you by Dolphins landing Wallace? Poll. Vote!; plus 20th straight for Heat, Welker, Marino, new pope, WBC poll, Spo's girl & more
[It is THURSDAY, MARCH 14. New blogpost coming later today. 2) New Pope! New Pope! Jorge Mario Bergoglio -- henceforth Pope Francis; why not Pope Jorge!? -- has become the first Latin American and first Jesuit to become pontiff. He's a young pup, only 76 (!). Second in the voting: Edwin Pope. 3) In The Previous Blogpost (ITPB): Heat win again, UM hoops, Tiger at Doral, Heat Big 5@60, Reggie Bush. 3) Join us on Twitter @gregcote.
Bettings odds for Wallace's 2013 Dolphins stats: Courtesy Bovada, betting over/unders for Mike Wallace in 2013 have been set at 62.5 catches for 925.5 yards and 6.5 TDs. Guaranteed that Miami (team and fans) are counting on the 'over' on each.
Pats lose Welker to Broncos: Wes Welker leaving Patriots for a two-year, $12 million deal to join Peyton Manning's Broncos feels like a win for the Dolphins. It weakens New England's hold over the AFC East. Supposedly Tom Brady -- who restructured his contract to save cap money with the idea of keeping Welker -- is irate. Cannot fathom that Pats would not match or surpass a Denver offer that, in annual salary, pays Welker slightly less than Brian Hartline's new deal with Miami.
BLOCKBUSTER! DOLPHINS LAND MIKE WALLACE AND MORE: Click on Buying Hope for my column off the signing of Mike Wallace. Dolphins' free agency began big as Miami closed the deal on the prized receiver Wallace (pictured) and also landed inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe to replace newly departed Karlos Dansby -- a big, and unexpected, signing. Miami also added FA linebacker Philip Wheeler and re-signed safety Chris Clemons. A big day for Miami. Wallace wore No. 17 for the Steelers. That's Ryan Tannehill's number. Somethin' gotta give. The Dolphins hoped they'd have a chance to face that minor issue, and now will. (Wallace said Tannehill can keep it if he'd like). Not everyone, though, agrees Wallace is good enough to merit the windfall of as much as $65 million over five years Miami is giving him. Setting aside the money factor, how good do you think Wallace is? Take a dip in our poll and say why.
DAN MARINO NEEDS YOUR HELP. (ACTUALLY, YOUR VOTE): We still love our Danny Boy, right Miami? Right South Florida? No, he never won a Super Bowl. Yeah, his infidelity scandal flared across our sky.
Like Miami itself, Dan Marino isn't perfect ... just spectacular. So now it's time for Dolfans to show some love. ESPN.com is hosting a vote for the cover of Madden 25, the anniversary edition of the wildly popular NFL video game. It is set up as an NCAA-styled 64-player bracket (now isn't THAT original!!) and first-round voting is underway through March 20. Marino, perhaps under-ranked as a no. 4 seed, must defeat No. 13 Reggie Wayne, the ex-Hurricane, to advance in the Old-School Bracket, where he eventually would meet, we presume, top seed Joe Montana. (Uh oh). Ray Lewis is a No. 2 seed. Other Old-School ex-Canes in addition to Lewis and Wayne are Jim Kelly (7th seed), Clinton Portis (12th) and Cortez Kennedy (16th). On the New-School side, Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill is, alas, a 16th seed going up against a No. 1 in Robert Griffin III. The only New-side ex-Cane is No. 12 Jimmy Graham, facing No. 4 Julio Jones. Click on Madden25to vote. (This vote means something to Marino. He's been re-Tweeting mentions of it, at least...)
WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC: HOW MUCH DO WE CARE?: I'm torn on this third World Baseball Classic -
- second-round games are going on this week at Marlins Park -- and on the WBC in general. It beats the hell out of the mundane inconsequence of regular spring-training games, but I have never quite embraced it as anything really important. I root for the U.S. team but find myself following the results more than watching them. I'm curious how you all feel about the WBC. And my curiosity, of course, is the petri dish for a blog poll! Vote and say why.
HEAT STREAK HITS 20!, SPO UNVEILS GIRLFRIEND: Heat last night won 98-94 at Philly for a 20th straight victory, only fourth team ever to do so. In honor of reaching 19 we'd linked to a live version of Steely Dan's "Hey Nineteen"; click here. Meantime, we'd like to introduce to the blog
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra's girlfriend, Nikki Sapp, whom he unveiled at the recent Reid/Fiorentino fundraiser. Spo, very eligible bachelor, is 42. Sapp (no, wiseguy, she isn't 19) is 26. She was a Heat dancer in 2006, pictured as such at right in her, um, blonder days. Boom-chick-a-boom-boom! They've been dating two years.
Click back. Will be updating/adding more to this latest blogpost...

We All Know Who Is Going To Win The Baseball Classic.
Joe Torre Sucks As A Manager. Only Reason He Won Was Because Old Steinbrenner Paid For A Team Full Of More Stars Than The American Baseball Team. Even Ozzie Guillen Could've Won A Title With Those Yankee Teams.
I still play Madden with my 10 y/o son on Wii but it remains one big game of toss and catch you don't need to run much at all (although it's still fun to mix it up a little) the challenge is playing defense.
My son adjusts settings with players though and he does this bootleg play that scores almost everytime I have learned to defend it a little though been playing that game since college in 91' still a classic.
Cote belittling religion again you just can't help yourself can you Greg try giving it a rest Edwin Pope haha heehee yeah he was relevant about 20 years ago.
Wallace is almost a sure bet, probably in the 5 yr @ $11 mil per range. A lot of money for a ConeHead. A haircut needs to be in the contract. The pin head look is soooo 80's SNL.
It ain't the beat'n, it's the anticipation of getting one :) When they were screwing up in school or the punishment warranted it,,, All I had to do was act mad and tell them to go into my room and bring my belt. Waterboarding ain't got shit on retrieving Pop's belt. Didn't even have to use it.
OC, true story. As a single Dad, I did stuff with my Sons & most of the time their friends almost daily. Skiing, swimming, fly fishing, hiking, basketball, football, etc. I made all of them pitch in to get stuff done including cleaning the house, laundry. One of their friends Mom showed up for her kid & I told her he could leave when the dishes were done, he ate my food at my house, boy is going to earn it. She said "Sure, right, I can't get my kid to lift a finger". She came in and saw for herself,,, astounded. Same thing with another 2 kids, they helped me for 2 days painting the exterior of my house. I took them with us to a huge water park in Denver for the day, steak dinner when we were done. Not a cheap day either.
Ed Pope is too old to handle the day-in, day-out rigors of covering up child rape and scaring poor people into spreading AIDS and having babies they can't feed across the world.
FZ, in spite of the name implication, adding a pass rusher to the shopping list in Free Agency does not come for free. Better to land a quality, less expensive one, through the draft...assuming that Ireland can actually fill that big need at WR. We should know soon enough.
Over 6 billion people think Catholicism is made up.
Boy aren't they going to be in for a surprise when they find out that THEIR invisible friends were made up and they were supposed to be devestating third world countries this whole time!
Yes, collect money to build churches to brainwash poor people into spreading AIDS that will kill them and babies that will grow up in devestating poverty if they can survive starvation.
So charitable! Check the mailbox for thank you cards, I'm sure there are loads.
Kaz, my advice to you is to move out of south Florida as soon as you can. You may find it difficult optimize a good "mate" catch in a pond where a quarter of the fish don't like the bait you're using.
I've been dating a girl who's nominally catholic for months but the majority of my generation are what would be called 'spiritual but not religious'. They recognize that religion's completely made up (how could you not?) but still believe in a higher power.
That'll be the dominant belief system in the US in a generation, regardless of how it's labeled.
God = Communication, various religions = various languages. The sin may be 'to choose' not to communicate, in which case, one is faced dealing with life, ALONE.
Spiritual but not religious means that you don't want to bother with the sacrifice and commitment of worshipping someone who has given you the golden ticket to salvation.
Not really a selfless thing this spiritual but not religious business but seeing how most of your generation still lives with their parents and are destined for a life of odd jobs and welfare it's no surprise you think that way.

Dolphins and Mike Wallace are negotiating a five-year deal that one source familiar with the talks said is "very, very likely" to get done
Watching Charlie Casserly on NFL channel is like watching Oprah & Rosie O'Donnel talk about effective dieting..... lol.... Ole Charlie used to be played by all the other GM's when they knew Redskins were locked into one player in the draft.... see dumb, one sided trade to obtain a Linebacker, right, I said Linebacker. Arrington.
Guess it fits the mold of Sean Salisbury, Trent Dilfer talking about young QB's need to do to be great in the NFL... or... Herm Edwards giving advice as IF he were ever a decent coach...
Wallace is in Miami's facility getting a physical. The DR giving the physical is going to check Mike's prostate. My sources say the DR uses 2 fingers during the check so he can have a second opinion.

We can only hope that Wallace does not take #19. The last two #19,s did not fair so well. Just sayin
Posted by: Harleyray | March 12, 2013 at 10:40 AM
Spo Is Still Gay To Me. (Don't Believe The Hype, She Is A Paid Model By The Heat Organization)
The Team(Heat) Is Finally Playing To It's Potential. Now Why Haven't They Been Playing Like That?
Wallace Should Just Change His Number To 87.
And The #19 Curse Goes 3 Deep

Falcons lucky to have him back they should be right in the SB mix again with him there even at his age best TE of all time and it's not close at all.
Hey voted for Tannehill too even though he has no chance against RGIII.

Posted by: Jimbo | March 12, 2013 at 01:51 PM
Jimbo, that's probably because through your intimidation, they are probably scared sh**less of what would happen if they beat good-ole-Dad.
Posted by: OC Dolphin | March 12, 2013 at 01:58 PM
Miami going to sign Wallace? Rumors out there that Fins and CB Sean Smith are talking possible deal, along with Wallace, TE Cook. We'll find out soon.
What do U think?
Wallace & Jennings?
Wallace & Welker?
Wallace & Cook?
Jennings & Reed?
Jennings & Welker?
Wallace is almost a sure bet, probably in the 5 yr @ $11 mil per range. A lot of money for a ConeHead. A haircut needs to be in the contract. The pin head look is soooo 80's SNL.

I say Wallace & cook would be a nice combo.
I have mix feeling on Sean Smith and Jake Long coming back, I don't think Smith is that good and Long has his physical issues.
Jimbo, haircut?..funny amigo.
don't you guys think we need another pass rusher in free agency?

Posted by: OC Dolphin | March 12, 2013 at 02:20 PM
OC,
Yes you are correct, free agency has nothing to do with free.
so this is what I would do,
Wallace, Cook, Winston, Deangelo Hall and a veteran free safety and call it a day.
Posted by: FZB | March 12, 2013 at 02:26 PM

5 years 65 for Wallace Clayton is reporting.
Posted by: Big Baby | March 12, 2013 at 04:45 PM
Wallace - $13M a year. 10% of the salary cap for a deep threat.
No choice really.

Dashon Goldson visiting the Buccaneers, he should head down this way if it doesn't work out.

Oc,
keep on reporting my brother...
the Wallace deal is like 30 mil guarantee according to Omar, that's the key number.

$65M means that Ross must be using Obama $$$$$$$.

Let's see...Who wants to check my math...
Wallace: $13M + Starks at $8.45 + Hartline/6.16 + Moore/4 + Devin/.48 + Stanford/.63 + Spitler/1.32 = $24M against a $30.7M kitty = $6.64M left?
Are they back-loading any or all these new contracts?
Posted by: OC Dolphin | March 12, 2013 at 05:21 PM
Backloading Wallace, almost definitely backloading Hartline, not backloading Moore or Starks.

Pats going hard at Josh Cribbs.

I wonder how long it's going to take all those draft "gurus" to revise Miami's #12 pick from WR to something else?
