| Weekend Roundup: Same Old Problems | | 2008-08-03 23:15:06 | | Believe it or not, football is back. Sunday night saw the first preseason game of 2008 take place, with the Redskins defeating Indianapolis 30-16. And in less than a week, our Dolphins will host the Buccaneers at Dolphin Stadium.
MEET THE NEW FINS; SAME AS THE OLD FINSOn Saturday, the Dolphins took part in a scrimmage inside the "Nick Saban Memorial" bubble down in Davie. And all reports indicate something that Dolphin fans are all too familiar with.
First of all, this team still has issues at quarterback. We are a week into camp, and no quarterback has set himself up as the leader to start in week one. If anything, the situation has actually gotten even murkier as Chad Henne could very well play himself into the starter's role. Is it the best thing for him or for the team to have a rookie start from day one? That's debatable and is something we'll touch on if it happens. But what we do know right now is that none of the QBs are playing p | | By: The Phinsider | | |

| The Literary Roundup | | 2008-06-17 21:54:59 | | This summer has been a summer of reading for me. While I haven;t had that much free time lately I've still managed to pack my days with pages and pages of reading. I'd say a good 80-90% of my waking thoughts are turned towards literature.

| Weekend Roundup: Mini-Camp Thoughts | | 2008-06-08 23:15:02 | |
Well the final mini-camp has come and gone. The Dolphins now have a couple of OTA practices left this week and then they hit the road for some vacation before training camp opens in July.
So for today's "Weekend Roundup," I figured I could just talk a little bit about what the media reported from these 5 mini-camp practices.
QB TALKHere's all I'll say about the quarterbacks: It's impossible to really know who had a good day and who had a bad one. These camp reports are very subjective - meaning there's no real way to compare the performances of the 3 quarterbacks. Opinions and bias can easily influence writers to report that "quarterback X" had a good day while "quarterback Y" struggled.
For example, it might be reported that John Beck threw a great pass to Davone Bess. Considering Bess's place on the depth chart, the reporter might say that John was working with the 3rd team. But that doesn't necessarily mean John was working against the 3r | | By: The Phinsider | | |

| Incentive Roundup: Chrysler adds more cash to free gas, Ford mum on Employee Pricing | | 2008-06-06 16:54:00 | | Times are tough in Detroit these days as each of the Big 3 saw drastic drops in sales for the month of May. It's not surprising, then, to see that Chrysler, Dodge and Ford have increased incentives in an effort to get those cars off its dealer's lots. For instance, prospective buyers for the Hemi-powered Chrysler 300C can now choose either $4,000 cash back or $2,000 plus Chrysler's $2.99 gas promotion, known as Let's Refuel America. Choosing Chrysler's full-size SUV, the Aspen, will net you $4,500 cash back or $1,000 in cash, plus the Let's Refuel deal. Dodge too is heavy into the incentives game, especially on fuel-gulping SUV's and trucks. The largest savings come with the 2008 Ram truck, which gets you $5,000 in cash or $3,000 plus the cheap gas card.Realizing the sorry state that sales of the F-Series are in, Ford has chosen to offer employee pricing for its full-sizers, although they aren't telling you what how much you'll save without a trip to the dealer.

In March 2000, they decided to restore the garden and four years later started an association to save protect and beautify the Majorelle gardens “"l’Association pour la sauvegarde et le rayonnement du jardin Majorelle".

| Weekend Roundup: All Jason, All the Time | | 2008-06-01 23:15:01 | |
I hope you all had a great weekend.
Unfortunately, the weekend headlines were yet again dominated by non other than Jason Taylor. As you all know, Taylor held a press conference in South Florida on Sunday. And what was reportedly supposed to be Taylor's time to come clean and openly demand a trade turned into just another twist in the saga that is Jason Taylor's future plans.
So let's start with some quotes from the Jason, which include the revelation that 2008 is likely Taylor's last season before he retires from the game of football:
“I’m disappointed when you’re away and people are having a chance to take shots at you for certain things and you don’t have a chance to really set the record straight."

| Weekend Roundup: Mini-camp highlights | | 2008-05-04 23:15:02 | |
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past 48 hours, you know that the main story of this weekend for the Dolphins was their rookie mini-camp, the first one of 2008. And with it's conclusion on Sunday, there's really only one thing that Dolphin fans (and football fans in general) are thinking: Football season can't get here soon enough. All this weekend's mini-camp really did was wet my appetite for, of course, more football. But we'll have to wait a little bit for that.
Here are some of the storylines that came out of this weekend's mini-camp:
A NEW ERA HAS BEGUNFor Tony Sparano, this weekend really marked the beginning of what will hopefully be a successful head coaching career. And he was just as excited as anyone to get on the practice field for the first time. On Friday, Sparano shared with the media:

| Jason Taylor Roundup | | 2008-04-24 06:30:06 | |
This will likely be the story that you'll be hearing about most between now and Saturday's draft. Despite Bill Parcells coming out and saying earlier this offseason that the only way Jason Taylor isn't a Dolphin in 2008 is if he retires, rumors continue to swirl regarding Jason's future in Miami. And now with the Jared Allen deal between the Vikings and Chiefs completed, many believe that Taylor is the next big name pass rusher who will be wearing a new uniform in 2008.
A lot of these rumors stem from a report in the Sun-Sentinel that says the Dolphins are indeed shopping Taylor, according to two NFL executives:
A day after signing Michigan's Jake Long, the Dolphins have turned their attention to acquiring another first-round pick, according to two NFL executives. And it appears they are shopping star defensive end Jason Taylor to do it.

Cole writes: Taylor remains a Dolphin, but that's not what he wants. Publicly, Taylor is putting a big smile on everything and saying all the right things. However, he has told the team that he'd like to take Huizenga up on the owner's offer, according to multiple sources close to the player. The Dolphins declined comment on the situation Friday, but if they refuse to accommodate Taylor's request prior to the beginning of the NFL draft on April 26, Miami could be looking at a repeat of NFL history come July.

| Weekend Roundup: Shockey, draft talk | | 2008-04-14 00:06:48 | | Hope everyone had a good weekend. Here's what you may have missed while you were busy doing whatever it was you were doing: SHOCKEY TO MIAMI? Some people actually threw this idea around as far back as February. But now, it seems the idea of Jeremy Shockey coming to the Dolphins isn't as far-fetched as once thought. Below is an excerpt from FOX Sports: Like a persistent cough, or a recurring dream, the reports of tight end Jeremy Shockey being traded from the Giants just refuse to cease and desist. The latest report has him shuffling off to Miami to come face to face with Bill Parcells, the guy he called a "homo" three years ago. In exchange for this multi-talented headache with two (bad) legs, the Dolphins are said to be contemplating parting with their second-round draft pick. ...Plausible? Perhaps, but not yet all that believable. The report says the trade can be made as late as draft day.

| WBB-Balanced Breakfasts - The Mega Roundup! | | 2008-04-08 12:54:43 | | Breakfasts are the most important meal of the day, and we often tend to neglect them completely, or just gulp something down with a cup of caffeine or juice! But I guess we all know that we need to pay more attention to our breakfasts as this is the meal that lays the foundation of your day, giving you energy and invigorating your brain cells so you can meet the challenging tasks ahead!

| SF/F Links: March Roundup Part One | | 2008-03-16 11:30:00 | | This is a little later than usual, but so be it. There will be a roundup at the start of April, most likely, rather than two roundups for March, although I'll still call it a March Roundup. I got behind due to finals. In any case, here are a load of links that might be of interest to you all (more to come):Universe TodayGalileo returns to the Vatican. Yup, they're putting up a statue for him. About damn time. On the subject of Galileo, New Scientist had a controversial question about whether or not scientists should exhume his body to do DNA tests to figure out if the person buried with him, presumably his daughter, is actually his daughter. Quite honestly I really don't care. This is the same as arguing that Shakespeare didn't write his plays. Who cares?Venus' south pole has some weird weather patterns and it's sort of stumped scientists. Imagine when you pull the plug out of a drain and watch the water go down.

| News roundup from homeless and poverty blogs | | 2008-03-02 17:42:00 | | New Orleans: The 13th Juror reports that Phil Mangano, executive director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, is not happy with Mayor Nagle's plan relocating homeless people from under a bridge into a large, barracks-like tent, and would prefer him to focus on long-term solutions...wonder why he was so quiet when the decision was made to tear down hundred of units of public housing. Tulane students are tracking new in New Orleans at their blog, Homeless of New Orleans. I got an email this week from the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign.

I've had essays up the you know where and a midterm, which I pray that I did good on. In any case, I've found lots of interesting things to share and that's exactly what intend to do: share. So enjoy!First and most important, however, is that there are actually some writers in serious need of financial assistance. Now, I'm broke due to school, but I do understand that writers simply don't make a lot of money in the first place and sometimes bad things happen they can't account for.

| Weekend Roundup | | 2008-02-10 23:01:51 | | Hope everyone had a great weekend. Here's some of what you might have missed hile you were out and about: CULTURE CHANGE COMING Besides the many changes we are likely to see on the field for the Dolphins, Tim Graham wrote a brief article about the culture change that players should expect off the field as well. It's very well known how relaxed the locker room was last year despite all the losses (with domino games and card games and such). Don't look for that same "laid-back" feel from this new regime: I recently finished Mike Shropshire's entertaining book When the Tuna Went Down to Texas, about Bill Parcells' first season as coach of the Cowboys. In it, Shropshire makes mention of the "slap-happy coaching regime of Barry Switzer," when the locker room featured a ping-pong table and heated domino competitions. "Those domino games often seemed more bitterly contested than the football games on Sunday," Shropshire wrote. With Parcells running the show? "For all the pla | | By: The Phinsider | | |
