The national anti-Dolphins tank lobby has lost it

If you’ve followed the @5ReasonsSports Twitter account — and if not, why the heck not — you know I haven’t been fully on board the tank. Well, I like selling #tankovailoa shirts and tanktops (get yours here!) but I’m not sold on every move the Dolphins are making. They needed a reset, for sure, and […]

Minkah watch: Did he raise his stock Sunday?

By now, you likely know that Dolphins second-year defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick is available — the only question is how available. I had suggested the Dolphins sit Fitzpatrick on Sunday against the Patriots. After all, if he’s an asset, you don’t want him playing and hurting himself, and losing value. And he was more likely […]

Dolphins trending to be worst team ever

So what about the Double Ds? OK, that’s the last […]

BETDSI.com: The Miami Dolphins are a touchdown dog

BETDSI had no merci with the Dolphins. With the offensive and defensive lines this, um, lacking, are you surprised the betting line is this low? Well, some bettors aren’t, apparently. That’s why, if you want to bet the Miami Dolphins and take the seven points from the Baltimore Ravens today, you need to give up […]

Raising Your Game: A shining example at the US Open

Winning and losing are defining terms in tennis and separate who advances and who is eliminated from the draw.  Being a competitive singles tennis player at the highest level requires more than extraordinary athletic talent; the player must show mental and emotional aggressiveness; qualities most young girls are uncomfortable expressing.  Typically, girls are raised to […]
