Figured someone needed to post something about them.

Its a good day after all isn't it Troy?

Being a BILLS and BUCS fan I am not much of a FISH fan, but I must admit I was cheering on the fish today..

Wow. How the hell does Billick keep his job?

This guy sucks.

[TruckDriver]

Wow. How the hell does Billick keep his job?

He keeps the team owners wife happy

[472 R/T SE]

He's lost the respect of his players but yet the owner says he'll be back next year.  Not the offensive guru he's cracked up to be.

Maybe the Fish will have a two game win streak after next week.  How fitting would that be.

Holy Crap, the Dolphins finally win one
It would be cool to see the Dolphins beat the Pats. I doubt it would happen, but ya never know.

[Steve P.]

It would have been even better if the only team they beat all year was the Pats..  That would be CLASSIC..

[69_500]

Well being a die hard Dolphins fan it was great to see. They should have won a few other games already this year. It seems that things have went against them at times, or they shoot themselves in the foot. Should have won the game opening day against the Redskins. Should have beat the Jets the first time they played. Both of those games they had the leads and let them go. Heck they should have beat the Giants over in London.

They still have the Bengals the last week of the season which should be another win, and oh yeah they play some team in New England next week, which would make for a 3-13 year.

Geez, you guys are dreamers.

[Steve P.]

This is the good old USA. The place where your dreams CAN come true...

Just a little reminder; Dolphins are MAMMALS, not FISH...    so they should taste like chicken.

[dukeboy_318]

Hey Danny.. Man, I saw that on the tube today........ The 'fins finally won one in OT-fashion......  The only thing that could have been better was the Patriots losing...... But, hey.. The 'Fins are on a roll, they could beat the Pat's themselves.....

And chickens are mammals ? Maybe they'll taste like steer.....

Great to see the 'Phins get a win...it's been a hard season to watch for us die hard Dolphin's fans.  Still, a win over the Pats would be magical 

[69_500]

Well lets not forget who handed the Patriots a loss last year at a score of 21 to ZERO.


Oh yeah it was the Dolphins.

Joey Harrington!

I also seem to recall a late season Monday night game a couple years back, in which the severe underdog Miami team pulled off the upset against the Pats.

Maimi is traditionaly the Patriots upset team.  I'm expecting a good game.

And Santa too??

Yes.  He's bringing me a new electric razor.  Mine broke.

[1FastCharger]

Well, if they don't beat the Pats at least crack Bradys knee caps. 

[TheGhost]

Wouldn't want to see ANY athlete take an injury like that.

[69_500]

Well if you go back statistically speakin the Dolphins must be a spoiler team of all but 4 teams in the NFL, as they have an all time winning record against all but 4 teams in the NFL. And a huge margin against their divisional teams excluding the Jets, who for some reason always seem to have the dolphins number.

Speaking of fish, sounds as though they caught themselves a Big Tuna.

BY ARMANDO SALGUERO


Former NFL coach Bill Parcells has agreed to a four-year deal proposed by owner Wayne Huizenga to make him the team's head of football operations, a source has told The Miami Herald.

Huizenga was at the Dolphins' training facility for approximately one hour, from 4:45 p.m. to just before 6 p.m., where he met with Cam Cameron in the coach's office. The futures of both Cameron and general manager Randy Mueller are currently unknown.

The negotiations have been on-going between Parcells' agent, Jimmy Sexton, and Miami owner Wayne Huizenga throughout the day. The Dolphins are not commenting publicly about the deal.

Although published and Internet reports early Wednesday said Parcells was ready to take an offer from the Atlanta Falcons to become their vice-president in charge of football operations -- a job that would grant him the power to hire a general manager and head coach -- Parcells backed out of that offer later in the day.

''Prior to the information becoming public, we reached agreement in principle with Bill,'' Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement. ``We met this morning to complete the contract. At that time we were made aware that he is considering a revised offer from the Miami Dolphins.

``He later informed us he would not be signing a contract with us.''

An ESPN report stating Parcells had backed out of the deal with Atlanta and was talking to the Dolphins flashed across the multiple plasma TV screens in the Miami locker room while players were between practice and meetings.

''We're going to have a new daddy,'' offensive tackle L.J. Shelton joked.

Defensive tackle Vonnie Holliday sees adding Parcells as a good thing.

''We talk a lot throughout this league and Bill Parcells is one of those names that if he comes in and he's on board, he's a guy that's going to get things going in the right direction,'' Holliday said. ``He's the Big Tuna.''

Jeff Darlington contributed to this report.

Parcells coming to the Fins is an important move for the future.  He is a great talent evaluator, and will really help the Dolphins rebuild through the draft.  The poor drafting of the Dolphins in the past is exactly why they are so bad today.  Rick Spielman, Dave Wannstedt and Nick Saban were terrible drafters.  We get all of Parcell's strengths, and non of his on-field weeknesses. 

Merry Christmas Dolphin's fans

Another past his prime geezer.

There really is no way to go but up, is there?

[Steve P.]

I've only been able to watch a few games this season so I can't really give a good opinion, but from what I did see the players didn't look bad. It looked more to me like the plays sucked.

That mud-bowl game was classic..

No doubt that Bill Parcells is past his prime as a coach, but he is just hitting his prime when it comes to talent evaluation through the draft.  Look at his career, and you will see that he has improved his drafts every year he has been in the league, with his last draft at Dallas his best draft class to date.  Chris Mortenson believes Parcell will do even better in this role now that he doesn't have to coach.  That's very promising.  Miami has a former executive of the year in Randy Mueller at GM, and combining his skills with Parcell's could make Miami's front office one of the best in the league.  Good drafting creates great teams that stay great for a long time.  I expect that from the Fins from this point forward.

If anyone is watching this game right now, it's like watching a high school team try and take on a pro team. Pretty painful to watch right now. Let's hope no Miami players get decapitated today...and I mean that literally.

[Steve P.]

They are only down 4 TD's. They still have a full half to come back.. 



I'm watching then ref's allow some pretty harsh stuff in the SF/TB game.  I hope Gruden pulls Garcia soon. Or someone smacks a ref a makes him start throwing some laundry... 


Just pulled Garcia.. 

[TheGhost]

Well, the Miami/New England game went rather well, I must say.

For a boring game...........

Does not look good for the 72 geezers to be breaking out that yearly bottle of champagne.

But, I think Mercury will break out the crackpipe anyway.

It's not over until the Pats win the SB this year.  If they have to face the Colts or Jags I could easily see them getting knocked out.  The Colts have had more adversity to face this year, and I think they are the top team.  You could make an argument that the Jags have the best shot at beating them, though.  They have a style of nastiness about them and are actually built for cold weather.  They are big and physical, and I'm not sure that the Patriots have faced anyone as smashmouth as the Jags this year.  Could be rough for Brady.

Oh well.. At least Parcells is the new skipper..... So "Maybe, just maybe", there'll be some positive change........

I would consider the Steelers a smashmouth team and they handled them pretty easily. But, in any case, yeah, it's all meaningless without a SB win. I completely agree with that. Here's hoping for a month of brutally cold, snowy Sundays in January in Foxboro.
