Seldom do I take the time to write about a journalist that is simply a "waste of time"

I was listening to WQAM yesterday (Channing Crowder show), and they had Omar Kelly on the air talking about our dolphins.
This guy is supposed to be a home town dolphins beat writer ,,,covering the team, and providing meaningful insight.
Of all times to come down hard on our team,,,this is not the time.
We just won our first 2 games of the season during the toughest part of their schedule...this team is well balanced...not perfect,,,,but they are obviously playing well..

He had the nerve to state that the dolphins are not a 9 or 10 win team, and will not make the playoffs.
He said that we have no chance against the falcons Sunday.
He said that the defense was horrible, and the offense was equally bad.
Dude! We didn't play the jets or the bills...I watched the patriots play the jets ...and they were horrid to watch!

I am not sure what he is watching, but it is quite apparent Omar Kelly has no clue!
Not sure why he even has a job as a football writer.
The good news is...everything he says comes opposite...
So the fact that he says that the fish will not make the playoffs means we will probably have a 13 win season...


Did anybody hear this idiot on the air the other day?

The only other idiot of a football writer i heard that was worse is Jason cole ,,,who I believe is now unemployed...just like Omar Kelly will be shortly..

Help me spread the word to get this idiot off the air waves...he is a waste of sound bites!

agreed omar kelly sucks. jason cole is very good though. no comparison

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Omar Kelley likes to piss off Dolphin fans seems like too me his job was well done.

I guess Omar does not watch the games.

Omar Kelly moans and groans all the time. His comments make him controversial. It's much like that irritating Howard Cosell. A smarter guy, in comparison, but as annoying as a creaking gate, a pesky mosquito, or gnats in your face. A guy that could seldom see a good thing without finding some fault to bring up. Cosell was a master at doing this; Omar is amateurish in comparison. Yet, he irks many of us, a substantial part of the time. FWIW.

This thread should be a Sticky.

Oh that was the idiot....i heard him too. LOL

I asked myself , who's this idiot talking?

haha

Just about every sports analyst on the radio here in Orlando is picking the Phins to win. Kelly is a prick.

According to Omar, after 2 weeks:


We can't stop the run

We can't cover a TE

Our secondary isn't very good, except for Grimes and Jones, and Jones has regressed.

Ellerbe and Wheeler aren't rushing the QB very well

We can't run the ball

Our pass blocking is terrible.

Our RB's are average at best.

We don't have an NFL TE.

And our QB is decent but not a top 15 guy and lacks "it".




He's right about some of that stuff, but he's a tool.

He reminds me of half the people on this board

Omar's ultimate motivation seems to be drawing attention to himself. I think he has some insightful things to say, but when I watch others try to engage him in any sort of debate online (never done it myself), he gets defensive and condescending and refuses to acknowledge that someone else might have an idea about football, as well.

I agree completely

That's exactly right. He even calls his followers on twitter..."ball watchers" because he is trying to be super macho and says he only cares about line play. I stopped following him a long time ago. Can you say Napoleon complex?

He fancies himself a pro scout but knows about as much as the average fan. He's a complete tool.

I follow him because he's a beat reporter and out of all of them, he tweets the most info on the team.

Beyond that I skip 90% of his tweets. Can't handle all the negativity with the occasional bible quote rolled in..

That and the Rap music critiques.........

Two recent tweets from the dreadlocked one

Omar Kelly?@OmarKelly39m
Get the running game going, improve Tannehill's pocket presence, start stuffing the run, learn to cover TEs, find a nickel CB...& look out?

Omar Kelly?@OmarKelly44m
This is an odd day. 3 Dolphins beat writers have higher expectations for the team they cover than the Phins fan base. STUNNING,but South Fla

Like someone said, some of the stuff he's saying is true, just not sure why he has to keep trying to piss in everyones oatmeal with negativity? The 2nd tweet he kinda contradicts himself, how can he call out the fans when he's the one telling everyone how bad Miami is?........and some of you guys question why the national media treats this team like a red headed step child?

Actually, holic, 100% (oops let me say 99.1% because I've got to include The Spoof) have said AT LEAST ONE of those things outlined by The Spoof, even you, holic.

Actually Holic. You should read more carefully. I said he was the one person on the board that DOES NOT DO what you criticize below.

Wrong again! Only dolphin falls under that category and when ever PatsFan1 (dolfan1) chooses to leave his Patriot chatboard and post and troll here.

What is SOOOOOOO sickening and tiring to me is people who set themselves up as Gods of this board and like the House UnAmerican Activities Committee choose to whip people in line. It's occurring to me more and more, holic, that The Spoof is the Chairman of that Board and by making this post you are his assistant.

We posters on this board cannot change game strategy, decide who to play or call timeouts when the Dolphins are playing. All we posters can do is comment on what the team does, point out what we believe to be their deficiencies and praise the play when we can.

Like I said, I have always thought Omar Kelley was an idiot and I don't blame other posters for saying that.

But I must say, I think it's might offensive THAT YOU insult the other posters on this board for so saying.

It's you Holic that is being tiresome. Go back to being funny.

As i crunch with my teeth on the buttery popcorn my wife just made for me.......Get a zip of henessy i gots on the small refrigerator right beside my bed.....I keeps reading and enjoying the best board ive ever been to.

It's apparent "The Truth" hurts.......there, is that enough comedy for you?

Don't you mean the Spoof Hurts? LOL. Is that enough comedy back?

errrr.... I forgot to put in the comma at the end of the last question and add Assistant Spoof.

Or shall I just shorten "assistant" to ass?

Chyren, you're nuttier then squirrel sh*t

And you, my friend, could have been the proper noun subject of the title of this thread.

Omar can kiss a big rosy one if he doesn't eat a little crow this week.

I personally agree with you Hooligan and I never had any problem with the proposition that he is an idiot. But not everyone on this chatboard who points out one thing wrong with our team can be lumped in with him. Of course, I'm not accusing you of that. I'm referring to somebody else.
