This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Each issue of the Dolphins Digest they ask 4 players a series of questions like, what is your favorite food.
The last issue asked 4 players what they wanted to accomplish, wanted to do in the off season.
Moore says he wants to work on getting stronger.
Pouncey wanted to work on his overall game and strength
Oderick wanted to work on consistancy
Our wonderful wannabe star CB Davis wanted to hangout and relax with his family.
I used to read it back in the 80s as a kid when there was no other source like it. Today with the internet, there's really nothing it can tell you you already don't know a week before it comes out. Not ragging on you for getting it though, it had some good stuff as I recall.
I used to have boxes of those things (why I saved them is beyond me?) The one cover I still remember vividly is the gold toothed grin of Eddie Moore.....what a bust.
LOL! Blast from the Past........I still have the one with Jimmy Johnson on the cover with His Corvette, right after he drafted Yatil Green. Back in the day it was all i had to get info living in NYC.

The younguns on this board probably won't believe this, but there was a time the past with no such (GASP) thing as the Internet.
I remember in the pre-internet days of the early 90s when I was in college, I'd have my dad mail me the sports section of the miami herald for the Monday section after dolphins games, since that was the only way to get that kind of info about the phins up in Boston
Back in the 80s I'd count the days when the Dolphin Digest's special "Draft Digest" issue came out---again the only way you could get info about any of the potential draftees. It is unbelievable how much info is now available for free instantanously now with the interwebz.
in the early days of this site, Curt used to go to his local library, find Herald articles from the most recently available issue, then type posts for the site.

How times have changed. Now you have everything you can think of on the internet.
I think ive come to this site since the beginning i remember when there was another type of board more difficult to write or more complicated than now. I didnt post just read for a long time.

Yeah now that I think of it, I actually came across the site when I was in grad school so that was sometime around 94 or 95. However, I think I didn't join the chatroom or whatever we called it then until I started teaching around 96 or 97. Like now I probably just used my actual name, but I seem to recall rejoining a couple of times for some reason. Didn't we have to rejoin when there was a switch of format? Time sure flies.

Yes, at one point when curt changed message board format we all had to re-register. That may have even happened more than once over the years...I can't even remember lol
