treeduck Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The Miami Dolphins likely lost their shot at hosting Super Bowl L when Florida lawmakers opted not to approve a deal that would publicly fund improvements to aging Sun Life Stadium. Could the consequences be even greater? Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said Sunday on Miami's CBS affiliate that the team will not provide any upgrades to Sun Life Stadium without the help of public funding. The Dolphins have canceled all renovation plans and say stadium improvements cannot be made without public-private partnership. Dee left the door open that the stadium issue could lead to the Dolphins' eventual exit from southern Florida. "The Dolphins are one of the only franchises in the NFL that don't have a long-term lease with their community," Dee said, according to The Palm Beach Post. "At some point, somebody's going to buy the franchise from (Dolphins owner Stephen Ross), and clearly the stadium is the first thing they would need to address." Dee focused his ire on Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford, who chose not to bring the stadium bill to a vote before the legislative session concluded Friday. That kept the decision out of the hands of Miami-Dade County voters. Said Dee of Weatherford: "At the end of the day, this abuse of power, I believe, will follow his career for a long time." Ross has said he doesn't plan on selling the Dolphins in the immediate future. Still, egos have been bruised in Miami. This story isn't going away. http://www.nfl.com/n...ed-stadium-billDee and Ross are being a-holes. How is it abusing power to not fund a sports stadiums. The public should not subsidize sports stadiums one dime. The Marlins' situation, where they basically screwed over the taxpayers, didn't help either. L.A. Dolphins? naa Miami's weather will always keep the Dolphins there... If the Philadelphia Eagles have a repeat of last year, Mr. Lurie will be off out West with the franchise. I think it'll be "L.A. Eagles" !! Chip Kelly is a boom or bust HC, with bust being the most likely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/photo/2013/07/06/0ap1000000216566.jpg Colin Kaepernick created a buzz in social media circles when a photo surfaced of the quarterback donning a Miami Dolphins hat at a Fourth of July party. Kaepernick owns more than 400 pairs of shoes as well as an impressive collection of baseball caps from numerous sports teams. The Dolphins hat was just another fashion statement from a man who obviously loves to accessorize. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick caught flak on social media for wearing a Miami Dolphins hat. (@kaepernick7 / Instagram/)Some San Francisco 49ers fans didn't see it that way, though. Kaepernick was given the Keenan Allen treatment in social media circles, leading to a Friday retort. "This the hat y'all mad at? I'm goin wear what I want regardless of what you think," Kaepernick said, via Instagram. "All you need to worry about is the fact that I grind for my teammates and the 49ers! I plan on doin this until they won't let me in the building! #ridiculous #y'allmustbebored" The photo of Kaepernick holding the Dolphins hat looks a bit suspect. But if the picture is real, good for him. Bitter fans too often come off like jilted lovers. That might be understandable with a player who failed to live up to his potential, but Kaepernick has given 49ers fans no reason to doubt his fidelity. He began offseason workouts a week after the Super Bowl and even trained with track athletes for two weeks in April. His commitment level is beyond reproach.

treeduck Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Another hat story... http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/pounceys.jpg?w=250 Pouncey twins apparently show their support for Hernandez Posted by Mike Florio on July 14, 2013, 10:45 AM EDTPounceysLess than two weeks after a Dolphins hat raised an unexpected stink for Colin Kaepernick, a Dolphin wearing a different kind of hat could be creating another. Via Deadspin, a photo of what appears to be Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and Dolphins center Mike Pouncey wearing “Free Hernandez” hats has surfaced on the Internet. Both men played with Aaron Hernandez at the University of Florida. Both have had their names come up in connection with the unsolved September 2007 shooting that may or may not have involved Hernandez. So the list of public Hernandez supporters apparently is now up to five: Deion Branch, Snoop Dogg, the ACLU, and the Pouncey twins. A league source has confirmed conclusively that it’s the Pouncey twins in the photo. There’s still a chance (small as it may be) that the messages on the hats were digitally altered.

treeduck Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Dolphins place Jordan on non-football injury list Posted by Mike Florio on July 21, 2013, 9:58 AM EDT Last night, we pointed out that Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan won’t be ready to participate in contact drills for one or two weeks, following offseason shoulder surgery. As a result, the Dolphins have not yet placed Jordan on the active, 90-man roster. Per a league source, the Dolphins placed Jordan on the active/non-football injury list upon opening training camp this morning. He can be moved to the active roster at any time. If he doesn’t make the shift by the date of the final roster cuts, Jordan will spend the first six weeks of the regular season on that non-football injury list. That would be a shock, if it were to happen. He’ll be ready to go in a week or two. In the interim, he’ll be able to attend meetings and engage in limited workouts on his own. He just can’t practice with the team, either during padded drills or walk-throughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Dustin Keller (knee) out for Miami Dolphins' season By Marc SesslerAround the League Writer The Miami Dolphins expected the worst after Dustin Keller suffered a grisly right knee injury in Saturday's preseason loss to the Houston Texans. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed the inevitable Sunday, reporting that Keller will be lost for the entire season, according to a source informed of the injury. It hardly comes as a surprise. Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald tweeted Sunday that the Dolphins' front office already was busy calling around for help at the position. Keller was brought in to give young quarterback Ryan Tannehill a sure thing in the passing game. It will be a challenge for the Dolphins to replace that production. A combination of Charles Clay, Michael Egnew and rookie Dion Sims will try, but this isn't a void Miami can fill on short notice. For Keller, it's a crushing blow after he signed a one-year contract this offseason, essentially betting on himself to produce a monster season in Miami. After seeing his early chemistry with Tannehill, that seemed likely, but now Keller and the Dolphins are left to pick up the pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he was talked up pretty big in the 2012 draft, what round was he drafted? 3rd round. His pick reflected some success early in his college career but he fell off later. I think he was drafted where he was because of his measurables (he was big and athletic), but from what I read his work ethic isn't what it needs to be and he couldn't adjust well to not playing in the slot where he did in college.
