I won't disagree that the Dolphins are a joke organization by and large, but I don't think Philbin is entirely out of line here. Tannehill has a lot of excuses- lack of reliable pass catchers, no running threat, and a horrible offense live- but I don't think it's a bad idea to potentially turn to Matt Moore if Tannehill can't get it together. Seattle is praised for its encouragement of competition at every position, but the idea that Tannehill should hold onto his starting spot no matter what is somehow laughable?

Philbin is not an untouchable coach.
Tannehill is not a untouchable quarterback.

Going over some of the gifs I made.

Steelers missed a guy like Wallace. A Jerk who gets on the defense's nerves. Pouncey was that guy before he got injured.

As the current group of inmates head to breakfast, our next batch of prisoners arrive along with a shipment of ingredients. The food, of course, gets seating priority.



Let's take a closer look at our new arrivals.



Anthony "Coldplay619" Joseph doesn't have much of a family apparently. Currently in the middle of an assualt sentence, looks like he's up for parole sooner than later. Maybe due to the guilty plea.

JABEE's serving time for inciting a riot while driving recklessly in a crowd. Somehow up for parole soon as well, likely due to a plea deal with someone with anti-Pats leanings.

Futurevoid's sporting a Mr. T look with the mohawk and beard. He's only served half a year of his sentence before transferring in.

Buckethead apparently has no family. A long history of priors, he was recently busted trying to steal a motorcycle from a Vikings fan and is starting yet another stint in the slammer. His parole is up in a year, we'll see if he makes it out soon (and even if he does, we're probably going to see him again).

TheBatman looks strangely like Conan O'Brien. He managed to strike out a bunch of convictions as they were the result of vigilantism that resulted in a crime lord getting taken down.

Greg's prodigious leaping ability served him well as a professional thief. He's been grounded with ankle cuffs to keep him from possibly escaping.

SpinDasher is still serving time for a KFC money laundering operation gone wrong. He'll be up for parole in a few years.

In the meantime, the original crew get breakfast. The cooks decided not to cook any bacon this time around given the tendency to race for it every morning.



Meanwhile, the guards move the new arrivals into the holding cell.



After breakfast our first inmates check out their individual cells for the first time.



At the same time, some of Tom Penny's family are here to visit with him, so Tom heads over for a quick chat. Greg's loud defecation distracts them though.



Free time, our new arrivals head to the courtyard for their first interactions with the current prison population.



Buckethead and Doom head to the common room for a quick game of pool. Perhaps Doom, being one of the smaller inmates, wants to get on the good side of the much more muscular Buckethead.



Coldplay makes a quick phone call as Futurevoid and JABEE scope out their new surroundings.



SpinDasher and Greg decide to get clean in the large cell block shower. Also, there's a giant crate jammed in Doom's cell door opening for some reason. A worker will quickly drag it out back into storage.



Penny heads back out as a guard escorts his family out of the facility.



Kave_Man has somehow busted his toilet. A workman has to repair a pipe to get the water flowing again.



Later on, Buckethead and Coldplay conspire in the holding cell. Buckethead's super wide shoulders and muscular frame stand out.



Everyone heads to the central yard for Yard Time. Batman keeps his distance initially, in case anyone recognizes him.



Doomsayer distracts most of the new arrivals as the original crew stays near the door and talk shit about the newcomers hygiene. Batman tries to eavesdrop on them near the tree, pretending he's about to make a phone call.



In the meantime, dinner service is prepared by the cooks.



Most of the original group move towards to center to engage with the new arrivals. Penny and Frankman stay farther away though and continue to talk near the door. Perhaps Doom, DM, and Kave are just distracting the new prisoners?



A quick break before dinner, the new prisoners relax in the holding cell. Coldplay unfortunately has a prime viewing angle of Buckethead taking a dump.



The original group seem to be adapting perfectly fine to their new single accomodations.



Dinner time, everyone files out and heads to the canteen.



A lone guard watches over the group as they get their food.



Later that night Buckethead, Coldplay, and Futurevoid end up getting the beds well before lights out.



Meanwhile, our original inmates are much happier knowing they don't have to deal with that nonsense anymore.

Decision time once again! How should we prioritize our funds?

A - Continue building out the cell block so we can get more inmates into the holding cell until we can fulfill the rest of the Cell Block A grant and earn $10k.
B - Hire more guard staff to make things move smoother (only guards can unlock jail doors and escort people around).
C - Hire a security chief to start unlocking more functions and abilities for both him and the warden to research (maintenance staff, prison labor, patrol dogs, etc).

Please vote the order you'd like to see: i.e. A-C-B, in which case we focus on getting A finished, then save up to afford C (it'll increase daily salary expenses as well as have upfront costs for the research), then do B.

How did Bucket end up black? Did he trick you into giving him a soul? Clever ginger. No hipster references and making him out to be a badass...Bucket you cheat, you didn't have others do your bio!

As for options, I'd say A but that's going to depend on how many people have given you their information. You don't want to add people until you have a profile for them, obviously.

How did Bucket end up black? Did he trick you into giving him a soul?

He requested it:

Name: Buckethead

Bio: Bad ass motherfucker. Mighty slayer of the pussy. Can be regularly seen downing beers and fighting queers.
Date Of Birth: 6/6/66
Body Type: RIPPED
Skin Tones: Black as the night.

It was an amusing enough combination that I rolled with it.

Oh it was clear as day that he wrote it up ;) I provided one for Chris Trejo, you other bums should pick on person and do it. Unless you're motivated to do more than one, of course.

Chiefs cut CB Dunta Robinson.

I'd thought that vested veterans cut before free agency had to wait until free agency actually began to sign with other teams, but that's not so. Robinson, and other cut veterans like Asante Samuel, can sign with teams immediately. After losing snaps to 7th round pick and frequent burn victim Marcus Cooper though, I wonder if Robinson is at the end of the line. I'm sure Samuel will get one more chance.

As always I'm sure a team will be willing to kick the tires if they're ok with getting a cheap contract.

What do Giants and Eagles GAffers think about Nicks and Maclin, there're ideas that the Raiders might target them as FA to bolster our WR group... I'd like to hear their takes on them...

Like most people based on this past season, I have really soured on Nicks. In fact before the season I would have said I'll take Nicks in a heartbeat over Maclin.

Maybe I am wrong and he was just hurt all season but it seemed like he wasn't putting in the effort. Or maybe ti was Eli being Eli.

Maclin is a really good WR with a chance to be great if he recovers fully from the torn ACL. I keep imagining how much better Maclin would have played in Chip's offense and how much better in turn the offense would have been. Maclin is slightly bigger than DJAX, almost as fast, and has much better hands. I'd love for the Eagles to re-sign him over any of the FA WRs including Cooper, Nicks, or Decker.

Billy Devaney thinks Decker is a system WR who is a creation of Peyton. Devaney is the worst evaluator or WR talent in the history of football. Decker's agent should start with that take as a lead in all his negotiations

I don't know Devaney and his WR evaluations, but isn't that the general opinion? Peyton ends up making some players look better than they are. Moreno benefits greatly from the prolific pass game. The OLINE benefits from Peyton getting rid of the ball so quickly. And guys like Decker, I believe, look much better in such a high scoring offense when teams would rather be worried about both D. and J. Thomas and Welker.
 
Philbin is a coach with an offensive line background who has had the worst offensive line in the NFL two years in a row. Where's the competition for competent head coaching? Competent offensive line coaching? Competent General Management? Competent ownership? Competent offensive game planning?

The players are way down the list of MIA's problems
Don't you think Ireland's constant failures with o-linemen could have had something to do with Philbin having a bad o-line?

I don't want to give him a free pass but him getting one more year was kind of a 50/50 thing. He's been mediocre but not abysmal, might as well give him one more shot if you really think he's the guy.

Of course, the source of all of the issues is Ross.

Weird thing about Dunta was that he was really good before getting hurt in HOU. All these other guys come back better than ever but Dunta tore his achillies and just was never the same. I wonder if he was too proud to use the HGH and stem cells everyone else uses?

@effzee: Decker was actually pretty good when Tebow was there. You could see his talent being wasted. He would be good for Detroit. He's not a true #1 WR but he's a great 1a. I wish Indy had the money to make a run at him as well. He and Hilton would be an excellent combo w/Reggie in the slot for whatever time he has left

he'll end up with a team easily based off this yr alone, as long as he and his agent don't go loco, and ask for that garcon money!

but peyton did make him look better than he really is.

After the SB I thought his futue was bright. Also, I was on the boat to resign Nicks and let Cruz go if it came down to it, but after all that's transpired, I'm glad I was wrong. He is oft-injured, apparently has some motivation issues, and played not to get hurt either. Quit on many routes resulting in a loss of points and/or turnovers. Huge disappointment. Jerrel Jernigan in two games made more plays than Nicks did all year. You can point to the poor OL to a lot of issues, but not with Nicks.
 
@ Str8UpGlittle Greg Little changed is bio/twitter pic/ and everything about his page. Must smell a change of scenery lol. # Browns
I think we all saw it coming. Heckert drafted him to be our number 1 at one point, and he was our best wr his rookie year ......says something about our past teams. Cya Gregor

Lions apparently have got their QB coach now. He was a Denver Broncos Offensive Assistant named.... Jim Bob Cooter.

Seriously.
