laughedatbytime Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ryan Tannehill gets $21.5 million fully guaranteed at signing Posted by Mike Florio on May 18, 2015, 4:50 PM EDT More details are emerging in connection with the next contract signed by Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. And the most important detail relates to the amount that is fully guaranteed at signing. Per a league source, Tannehill receives $21.5 million fully guaranteed at signing. Another $3.5 million becomes fully guaranteed in March 2016, and another $3.5 million becomes fully guaranteed in 2017. The rest of the guarantees ($16.5 million) become fully guaranteed in 2018. As a practical matter, then, Tannehill will get $25 million fully guaranteed over the next two seasons — unless the Dolphins cut him before next March and let him walk away with $21.5 million over one year. In all, it’s a four-year extension worth $77 million, which equates to $19.25 million per year in new money average. Which is a very good deal for a guy who has not yet emerged as a clear-cut, short-list franchise quarterback. Good deal for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Saban’s wife had a key role in him leaving the Dolphins Posted by Mike Florio on July 19, 2015, 1:01 PM EDTWhen former Dolphins coach Nick Saban notoriously declared that he’s not going to be the Alabama coach, Saban apparently had failed to run that one past Mrs. Saban. Earlier on Sunday, we pointed out that former Oilers cornerback Cris Dishman believed while playing for Saban that Dishman’s name was “F–king A–hole.” Saban possibly would have been known by that name in his own house if he hadn’t pounced on the chance to leave the Dolphins. The introduction to Monte Burke’s Saban: The Making of a Coach tells the story of how the late Mal Moore lured Saban to Tuscaloosa even after Saban had publicly uttered the phrase that will forever linked to his legacy. Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post has more of the nuts and bolts from the relevant portion of the book; the bottom line is that Saban’s wife, Terry, was ready for her husband to return to college football. She met directly with the Alabama A.D., who had come to Miami in the hopes of taking home a new head coach, while Mr. Saban was meeting with former Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga about Saban’s future. “Terry and Moore hit it off right away,” Burke writes, “sensing a mutual interest. She served him lunch while the two talked about her husband. She made it clear to Moore that Saban was miserable in the NFL and dearly missed coaching in college. She also made it clear that she wanted out. “In the NFL, the coach’s wife had no real role in the community. On a college campus — particularly at a place like Alabama — the coach’s wife was a figure of prominence, a queen bee.” Moore stayed for dinner with the coach and offered him an eight-year, $32 million deal. Saban remained hesitant, but his wife wasn’t. “As Moore was leaving, Terry pulled him aside and told him they they had to find a way to get her husband on the plane to Tuscaloosa the next day,” Burke writes. So Nick Saban didn’t tell a lie that day in December 2006. Instead, he simply made a promise without making sure that his better half would let him honor it.

I think the Dolphins will be much improved with Suh though. Barring injury, I'm betting the farm when they play the Broncos. Manning can't take a pass rush. Especially in his face.

laughedatbytime Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 People at Harvard are even smarter than you might think... You've probably heard of Harvard. The Cambridge, Massachusetts school is known for a lot of things, like producing Nobel winners, presidents and Supreme Court Justices. One thing the school's not known for though is its NFL picks. However, that could change if the Dolphins somehow manage to win the AFC this year, which Kurt Bullard is predicting will happen. Bullard designed a prediction model for the 2015 NFL season that was published on the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective (HSAC) webpage Wednesday and that model is predicting that the Dolphins will be the best team in the AFC, followed by the Chiefs and Patriots. So how exactly does Bullard's prediction model work? I'll let him explain. From the HSAC page. The method that I came up with uses Pro Football Reference's Approximate Value statistic, the site's best measure of trying to tease out individual talent. Then, using ESPN's NFL depth charts, I aggregated each team's per game approximate value of what I considered to be the 'core' makeup of an NFL team: QB, RB, 2 WR, TE, Top 2 OL, the Top-4 'Front Seven' defensive players, and the Top-2 players from the secondary.Basically, on offense, it comes down to a team's top seven players vs. another team's top seven players. On defense, it comes down to one team's top-9 vs. another team's top-9. Bullard's model doesn't take the schedule into account, which I think is going to kill the Chiefs. Kansas City opens up at Houston, before hosting Denver on Thursday night. After that, the Chiefs will spend their next two weeks on the road against the Packers and Bengals. That could be 0-4 for Kansas City and 0-4 teams don't make the playoffs. Actually, one 0-4 team did, the 1992 Chargers. UPDATE (July 23, 11 a.m.): Bullard has clarified that his model does take the schedule into account. That being said, I still think the Chiefs are going to fall flat on their face during the season's first four weeks. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25247930/harvard-study-dolphins-will-win-afc-in-2015-giants-will-win-nfc-east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes Pete Rose blush No. Pete is not the right analogy. Eddie Cicotte would be better.Or Barry Bonds and his shrunken balls. Oh, no. Because I've heard from many people, including some on this very forum, that using PEDs wasn't illegal in baseball before 2003 (which, by the way, is a dumb statement, because steroids are a controlled substance that you can only possess and use with a valid doctor's prescription, and baseball has always prohibited using illegal drugs). So, Bonds wasn't really cheating. No, videotaping coordinators in front of 80,000 people, and playing with a football inflated to less than 12.5 psi are egregious rules violations that completely shift the competitive balance. So does lining up in "deceptive" formations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
