Wait, other Dolphins fans are really upset we didn't get Fisher? I'm perfectly fine missing out on him.

Honestly, Fisher feels like a "safe" hire, but not a good hire. I'm sure he could improve the team, and overall we may be more competitive year to year, but I don't see Fisher making us an excellent team that contends for the playoffs year in and year out again. I'd much rather roll the dice on a hot prospect than a retread. Maybe other Dolphins fans are so hard up for some success that any sign of improvement is welcomed, but it isn't enough for me. A decade of sucking just leaves me feeling like we deserve a lot fucking more.

Not only do I want to see playoff football again, I want to watch exciting football each and every Sunday again. That's something Fisher definitely would not bring here.

You're probably right but it still feels like a downer for some reason. It's probably just because of how the media has been following it and reporting on it. All of that said, I am kind of tired of "rolling the dice on a hot prospect." That hasn't been working out too well lately. Miami is apparently where hot coaching prospects go to cool off.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Huh? Are you being ironically prophetic? Those comments were just made two days ago.

This

No. He said something like this a few weeks ago. It was all over the news and shit.

Yeah, he was bitching then, he's bitching now. He's a bitch.

Reading that article he comes across as more of a baby than he did when I saw the actual video yesterday(?)... the video made the comments seem pretty lighthearted.

I saw the video, and I thought he was being a baby. Even if he was trying to be lighthearted, the fact that he even says it shows that's how he feels, and it's really sad.

 

[Mindlog]

Alright, looks like the only other team looking at Chud is the Bucs and...



Hopefully we've dodged a bullet.

But lol at the final two for the Bucs including Childress.

lol

There's no way Childress wins that matchup. No way. Not in a million years. Never gonna happen.

Just have to get through today. Fucking Friday the 13th.

That Tebow article...

Why not keep Ted Bowles?

Good question. I don't know much about him.

 

[Goro Majima]

That Tebow article...

.

I guess I'm cheering for Tim Tebow to win the Super Bowl every year the Packers are eliminated. (I don't think he'll ever get the chance though )

 

[I H8 Memes]

Cowher, Gruden, Bellick. Yeah, I'd even take Gruden, even though it was Dungy who built the Bucs.

How did Dungy build the Bucs? Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp, and John Lynch were drafted by Sam Wyche. He also was responsible for the signing of Hardy Nickerson. Dungy won with Wyche's team.

 

[RBH]

Tim Tebow has revealed that he has a vice!

No vices?

"Nope," he says.

Tebow pauses, racking his snow-cap-covered head to come up with something.

"Love ice cream," he says. "I let myself have that about once a week. Vanilla."

Tebow giggles. OK, he admits, maybe occasionally he will take the pleasure of adding a brownie with his ice cream, which is a healthy version, he says, because it is homemade.

To the presses!


"Tebow takes pleasure in a brown eye once a week!"

 

[Greg]

I was going to call him a racist when he said vanilla, but then he threw the brownie comment in.

Truly amazing.

He is infallible indeed

 

[squicken]

Squiken must be overjoyed running down the streets naked screaming Fisher his name.

Well I never get too excited on these thing. I think he's an excellent coach, but we'll see what the exact division on personnel is. If he's got final say, which I'm sure he does, then that's a potential problem. Best teams draft and develop, but too many coaches just don't have patience to play rookies. Also need to see who he is hiring for OC

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Im ready for Saturday night.

Mike martz oc, Gregg Williams DC.

Great hire by kroenke, can't wait for next season.

I'll be drunk before the game so if something bad were to happen lots of things are going to break. (not laptops)

Yuuuuup

 

[DonasaurusRex]

You think the Dolphins have a good shot at RG3? I'm hoping they'll be smart enough to pick up a QB but I'm not holding my breath.

im seeing RGIII go in the top 8 they got a shot

JAX
CLE
STL
MIN
IND
WAS

are the teams with shittier records so MIA should be in the next crop with the Bills, Chiefs, and Panthers.

Id be scratching my head if the Skins dont pick up RGIII though...

 

[DonasaurusRex]

maybe he means helped them develop as players, he was known around the league for his defensive knowledge

haha well Williams seems to be a possibility at least.

New State Farm commercial this weekend with Clay Matthews. Putting a black guy in the last one must not have gone over well in GB

Mine were similar except I was posting in GAF while going batshit insane.

Redskins would definitely take him if he is there at #6. I wouldn't even be surprised if they traded up in front of the Browns to make sure Holmgren doesn't get him.

All those people will be heartbroken Sunday morning.

lol he is going #2. Rams will trade down. Lots of fans fixated on Blackmon and fatty from South Carolina, but I'm much more interested in Kendall Wright. I want a speed guy.

I posted as he was running and then proceeded to jump around in my living room going nuts. This is what I'm saying in that no matter what happens we have some cool memories of this season. Thanks for the video.

I saw the nfl replay of steelers at broncos and wow nantz HATES the steelers.

on the reals brady will destroy that overrated broncos defense.

Nantz loves him some Brady.

 

[Dragon]

I think everyone was going crazy during/after that play. But actually Tebowing?! Cringeworthy.

 

[squicken]

Now this is Rams/Fisher perspective, so big grain of salt:

Fisher and Rams had agreed tentatively on Thursday, and he had called Ireland to let him know. Rams were still going to keep interviewing people until deal was finalized, and staff were actually in SF to interview Saints OC when news leaked. So they were stranded there trying to get back to STL as all this blew up.

Dolphins got salty and leaked story. Surprised both Rams and Fisher, as they had agreed to keep it confidential until all things final

 

[red13th]

Yeah the tebowing was definitely not an authentic reaction, those people just did it because they were recording and wanted to put it online imo. The jumping, screaming, fist pumping... yeah, those made me relive the moment.

 

[Dragon]

Nantz thinks he's Jim Nance.

Yeah just the way it happened was so completely unexpected and amazing anyone who cared even a tiny bit about the game was probably amazed.

My uncle just sent me an email telling me the Patriots were going to lose in 64 size font. Silly Denver people!

The joke was good at first, now State Farm is going to far (as I said with the Raji bit) and they're running it into the ground. Especially odd that they seem to be targeting exclusively Packer fans.

Local media guy Bernie M is saying the Dolphins actions reaffirmed for Fisher he had made the right choice in picking St. Louis.

Rodgers has to cash in while he can before he is out the league in a few years, possibly in jail after hitting a women with cancer.

I like Bernie, but I just assume all media people property of local NFL team until persuaded otherwise. He'll be critical, but generally sticks up for team on national level

 

[Doorman]

New State Farm commercial.

Credit where credit's due...I do like it better than the second commercial with the return of the young couple for no reason and Raji's fatdance. I sincerely hope that this is the last one we see of these though.

 

[red13th]

Fuck it I love the new commercial and Aaron Rodgers is completely awesome.

The first one was the best one.

So when Denver wins tomorrow, is there any result of the other AFC game that could result in a Denver home game next week?

 

[Spectral Glider]

Yeah, he was bitching then, he's bitching now. He's a bitch.

I hope TJ Yates throws for 300 while Flaccid throws two picks and fumbles once.

no

No. They are the 4 seed. Houston is 3 seed and BAL is 2 seed

 

[themadcowtipper]

Been slacking on here. Fired up for tomorrow. Glad to see the field was not a flesh eating monster. Natural grass isn't so bad.

I think if the Rams could extract Cleveland's 2nd 1st round pick and take Blackmon and then grab some line help with the later pick, that would be deal.

 

[Godslay]

If it's any consolation we did have a pretty good road record under Tebow. 5 wins out of 6 on the road. Only road loss was in Buffalo.
