• Dolphins Fans Don't Suck Either

  The people who love the Dolphins are having a pretty good year, too. At least if you judge by the recent totals in fan voting for this year's NFL Pro Bowl. Four, that's right, FOUR Miami Dolphins are in first place in their respective positions in on-line fan balloting. This compared to zero, that's right, ZERO this time last year. All vote totals are current as of this week: Leading AFC running backs is Ronnie Brown, who has received 393,265 votes. Joey Porter has received 240,238 votes. Jake

• PrunkTV - Slip-N-Slide 15th Anniversary Party

  Slip-N-Slide's 15th Anniversary Party at Hotel Victor in Miami Beach was definitely the best party of 2008. Baby tigers, porn stars, open bars, and lots of millionaire thugs showing off their jewelry. Trina was posing for photos as Keith Sweat performed. I got to sit and talk to Slip-N-Slide's founder and CEO Ted Lucas for a few minutes. We talked about my first interview with him about a year ago, where he saved me. We also talked about our team, the Miami Dolphins (Ted predicts that they wi

• Miami Dolphins: Hope Or Nope?

  Nope. Fact is, this team isn't nearly as good as its record suggests. Overrated? Maybe, but you can't really over-rate a team that spent the previous season flirting with a record for professional football futility. So let's try this: If next week the Dolphins defeat the New York Jets, then the Dolphins will be the worst 11-5 team in league history.Hey, I'd love to say we've got a contender on our hands. Since week three, when the Phins spanked the New England Patriots, South Florida football fa

• Do You (Not) Believe in Miracles?

  The Miami Dolphins beat the Jets Sunday to win the division and make it to the playoffs. It's a great achievement for a team that went 1-15 last year and a nice gift for the fans. But a miracle? That's what a headline on the the Sun-Sentinel's front page called it this morning -- a "miracle turnaround." That's right, this season was authored not by the Big Tuna, our local newspaper tells us, but by the the Big Guy himself, God almighty. Of course, I'm adhering to the st

• Let Us Gloat: The Dolphins Are Playoff-Bound

  Just before the game that would decide whether the Dolphins or Jets went to the NFL Playoffs, Jets QB Brett Favre delivered this rousing pep talk to his teammates: "Hey, if it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, it doesn't." It didn't. I haven't seen so many treats tossed at Dolphins since my last visit to Sea World. And now the Dolphins are in.For die-hard fans who've pined for the playoffs these past nine years, it's cause for celebration. The day after that playoff-sealing victory, howeve

• What Is Wrong With This Picture?

   If there was a rash of Dolphins-related suicides around 10:45 p.m. last night, one local TV station certainly won't be reporting on it. That's because Channel 7, WSVN, hates the Miami Dolphins and doesn't care if the team's fans kill themselves. Or maybe some intern just made a horrible mistake. Either way, not long after the Dolphins finished off the greatest single-season turn around of all time, and beat the Jets in what was essentially a regular-season playoff game, WSVN reversed th

• The Greatness of Small Expectations

  How do you keep fans -- and sportswriters -- happy in the NFL? Make sure you toss in a few ridiculously bad seasons in the mix of a bunch of mediocre ones. It's all about expectations, folks. Remember that. Don't believe it? Let's look at the Dolphins, a team that during the last couple decades might best be described as "average." This year and the 2001-02 season for the Fins are almost identical. Both teams went 11-5 during the regular season and both were crushed by the Baltimore Rav

  Deuce McAllister that is. He was released yesterday by the New Orleans Saints. He might be a good fit with Miami, though the Dolphins' 11-5 record puts them near the bottom of the waiver priority list.  Still, this is a day for immature headline writers across this nation to celebrate.

• Jimmy Buffett Writes the Worst Team Song Ever

  Why don't we get drunk and...stop writing horrible songs? The Miami Dolphins announced today that Dolphins Satdium will henceforth be known as LandShark Stadium. We won't even get into the fact that the Marlins and the Dolphins play in that stadium, and Sharks eat both of those animals. (I bet if the Dolphins are 0-7 at home, they'll change the name before game eight.) Bob Norman had a great post yesterday. The name comes from Land Shark Lager, brewed by Margaritaville, which of course is

• Dolphins Top (the Middle of) NFL Power Rankings

  Flickr.comThey got Jason Taylor back, and they got two big corners, filling the biggest needs from last year. But still, when NFL.com came out with the latest power rankings earlier this week, the division-champion Miami Dolphins were right in the middle of the league: number 17. Surely this is because every other team in the division looks much better than last year - New England has Brady back, Buffalo got Terrell Owens, and the Jets have a new offense, defense, and coach. And the

  Flickr user: lb_ice_dogs_fansDolphins and Jets face off tonight at 8:30 on ESPN​Are you ready for some football? Well, Chad Pennington isn't. He was supposed to provide the Monday Night Football storyline. He was to avenge his being dumped by the Jets before the 2008 season. Instead, Pennington got injured, so now announcers are going to have to talk about another QB Chad -- Henne, who probably isn't very excited about lining up behind an offensive line that let him get sacked six times last w
