The scenarios from Drew Brees all the way to Eric Kumerow are only a few of the reasons I don't get involved with the draft.

I'll tell you what I loved about OJ Simpson. KICKING HIS ASS. Every single game the Dolphins played against the buffalo bills throughout the decade of the 1970s, the Dolphins won. 2,003 yards in a season? Hey, impressive. But you still lose when you play against us. I was mercifully out of the country when OJ's acquittal was announced. Was very happy to not talk about it at the time.

This is for the older guys among us, but I just learned that we lost another member of the championship teams of the 1970s, Mike Kolen, #57, Captain Crunch. RIP Mike, you were a solid member of the No-Name Defense and will be missed.

Damn, still so young. I remember him having a couple good years with us, then I think he showed up either drunk or hung over to practice and I'd had it with him at that point. Party during the offseason, guys. But he had some great years with the Colts after we traded him, and I was glad for him. I was glad he got a new start and thought at the time that the change in environment is just wh

Honestly at this point they really should make it flag football. Would cut down on concussions, AND penalties. Most contact is illegal now anyway. Just make it flag football and be done with it.

I will freely admit that I don't know how the Cap works...there's no 'maybe' with me. That being said, TCPF summed up the situation quite clearly when he pointed out that we already have two of the best. Case closed. Only way this makes sense is if we are about to trade away one (or both) of the others.

The direct reward for signing big names isn't in guaranteed wins, but it might result in more ticket sales. For a short while at least..but fans want to see wins. One other side note about ticket sales--we are blessed/cursed with being a tourist destination, especially during cold weather. That is a major reason why our stadium gets filled with fans of the visiting team. And those sales put b

I'd only heard it on the radio so I just double checked. Associated Press confirms the amputation story. So messed up, considering the Bills game got pp'd for snow. You don't even need a deep freeze for snow. Re hypothermia, it's not as clear-cut to the victims who suffer it. Lots of instances of it near me since I've lived up north. Often times the body somehow feels *warm* when hypothermia s

I know that the fan accommodations at the stadium doesn't figure in to the exact subject here, but the mention of KC reminded me of the news story this week that several fans needed amputations of fingers/toes after attending the Miami/KC playoff game.

I'm not surprised about getting rid of Xavien Howard. He was great for us over the years, but his level of play has declined somewhat and would have been a huge cap hit. Ogbah was not TOO surprising but his cap hit/savings was a lot less. I hate the capology stuff but I know it's necessary. I also can't get excited about the draft every year, but it is also necessary. Looking forward to sp

I saw a graphic that compared a lot of statistical categories between the two QBs during their first seven seasons. In damn near every category (yards, percentages, etc), Pat is whipping Tom's behind. The number of championships is the same (three). Mojones has said winning three in a row is a motivator for him. Total number of rings must be as well. I had no idea that Patrick was doing so

Well, that ceremony was a little underwhelming. I mean it was great to see Zonk holding the trophy, but all he did was walk a few steps with it then hand it off to John Elway who took it up to the podium. To be fair, Csonka walks with a cane these days. To be honest, I didn’t know how he was going to manage carrying the trophy at all, much less go up the stairs with it. At least he got to

And it's not because of any music/lip sync artist or other current celebrity. Our very own Larry Csonka will be presenting the Lombardi trophy to the winning team. He was chosen because of the 50th anniversary of our 1973 season championship. The lesser known team due to the prior year's undefeated season, but a much more impressive one in many ways. We lost a couple games during that seaso

Chris Shula reportedly was being interviewed for our DC opening, but the Rams put a stop to that by promoting him to their own DC position. That takes care of that, I guess.
