Day 2 options for the Dolphins

The NFL draft resumes Friday night, and the Dolphins have picks in the second (48) and third (78) rounds. There are plenty of options at positions of need — because, for the Dolphins, every position is a position of need. If it’s OL then Dalton Risner, Greg Little, Cody Ford, Deiter, Dru Samia, Erik McCoy, […]

Is Josh Rosen still in play for Dolphins?

Chris Grier didn’t give anything away. And neither have the Arizona Cardinals… yet. Following the selection of Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins in the first round, the Dolphins GM was asked about interest in now-displaced Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen — interest everyone knows the Dolphins have. Grier demurred, and the media moved to other topics. […]

Miami Dolphins take Christian Wilkins in first round

The Dolphins had a shot at a quarterback. But they’ve taken only three in the first round in 42 years, and that didn’t change Thursday. Miami passed on Dwayne Haskins at No. 13, and didn’t trade down as many expected, instead taking two-time collegiate champion defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Wilkins introduced himself to the NFL […]

CK Parrot on the Dolphins draft options

Chris Kouffman (@CKParrot) is everywhere. (Well, he’s actually in Tampa watching tape and managing money, but you get what we mean.) He appeared on more than five hours of draft previews on our popular Three Yards Per Carry podcast. He made a stop in with Brendan Tobin and Brett Romberg and our Kevin Mayer on […]

Your preference for Dolphins on Thursday: Punt

There’s usually great excitement for the NFL Draft, as fans dream of the player their team will add in the first round. Dolphins fans? They’re not really feeling that. After an offseason of relatively inactivity — other than changing coaches, letting respected veterans walk, floating a tanking agenda to the media and signing some guys […]

Is there hope in the East for the Heat?

Well, that went as expected. The Eastern Conference first round was full of mismatches, especially with Indiana missing Victor Oladipo, and so it should have surprised no one that all four series were slaughters, with the favorites taking 16 of 18 games. It was also a stark reminder of how far the Miami Heat are […]

Another 5Reasons Watch Party! (You’re not happy.)

We know what we’re good at — memes, parody songs, Twitter sparring, picking on Giancarlo Navas. We know what we’re bad at, too. Watch parties. We’re the worst. Ever. Starting with the Miami Dolphins preseason, we were 0-9-1 hosting watch parties at various South Florida locations last fall and winter, from Uncle Al’s in Sunrise […]

Still chatter about Josh Rosen to Miami

They’d love him in Aventura. And Boca. And at Toojay’s. But would you want him as your quarterback? There’s been some talk this offseason that has connected the Miami Dolphins to second-year quarterback Josh Rosen? Why? Well, he’s breathing. Even after all those hits behind a bad line. Also, he was a hot prospect when […]

Hassan Whiteside caught up in weird story

Is Michael Avenatti corrupt enough to run for President yet? The attorney, who became famous by representing Donald Trump-associated porn star Stormy Daniels — and for oddly tweeting “basta!” all the time — was thinking about running for the White House. Lately, he’s had to run from the law, with a number of corruption and […]

The Pat Riley to the Lakers thing won’t die

South Florida sports fans are particularly sensitive about this stuff. After all, they thought they had a championship coach for the Miami Dolphins when Nick Saban signed on in 2005. He started slow that first season, but won his last six behind Gus Frerotte, signed Daunte Culpepper and seemed poised for greatness until that season […]
