The tag line at the top of this blog reads:

Welcome to SB Nation's blog dedicated to the only franchise in NFL history to have an undefeated team: the Miami Dolphins! However the Bears site could make the same claim, in 1926 they won 11 and tied 2. The Pack did them one better in 1929, wining 12 with one tie. Not to be out done the Bears went 13-0 in 1934. As late as 1967 the Colts won 11 and tied 2. So to be factually correct, it should read: Welcome to SB Nation's blog dedicated to the only franchise in NFL history to have an undefeated team and win the Superbowl: the Miami Dolphins! What does any of this have to do with putting a smack down on the Bills Sunday? Nothing, I just wanted to set the record straight.

Should I buy Mark Sanchez's jersey?

I think my son's closet may be cursed. It started years ago when I purchased a J.T. Snow jersey for him. You see...that year the Giants were in the playoffs vs. the Marlins. Snow was on base and had a chance to tie the score and send the Series back to San Francisco. Instead, he was thrown out at the plate. Due to this unfortunate play, the Giants went home and Marlins played on. Incidentally, this led to the Dolphins missing an important field goal from a dirt infield. But that's another story.

It doesn't stop there. His next jersey, one that he bought himself, was Antawn Jamison (he's a big Warriors fan). Jameson was promptly traded away. There are other examples I could list, but suffice to say, jerseys that go into that closet never turn out well for the player.

Last year's jersey purchase was for the Dolphins game we attended in Denver. The mojo took a little longer but still found Matt Roth on the "physically unable to perform" list.

This year I bought my son a jersey for our trip to San Diego, mind you, this was not a cheap replica but the real thing. You can probably guess by now whose jersey he wore yesterday afternoon at Qualcomm Stadium. Yes, that's right. He proudly wore #10.

Are you Sirius?

Sirius radio will visit Dolphings training camp tomorrow (Friday). They should have many interviews and focus on some posistion battles.

I read an intresting delima for the Phins on ESPN that Pat White creates. If they start Pennington and use White in the Wildpat, then Henne must be the 3rd string emergency QB. This would mean White mops up against the Pats and Jets when we are up by 30 in the fourth quarter . This gives White a big advantage as the Quarterback of the future. He will be the one getting the seond string snaps each week, not Henne

and Chad don't Twitter...

Chad Pennington | Dolphins

Indicating within his bio as that he is "a leader, not a follower" , the Twitter version of Chad Pennington has had some choice quotes over the past few months. "Cooking dinner, 40 oz. porterhouse, 2 baked potatoes, zuccini, and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon... Chad has a big appetite." " There was a meeting of billionaire philanthropists, I had to send in a rain check...I'm that good at the stock market..." "Got my playbook in the ice bath with me, gotta study in game conditions, cold, with every muscle aching...that's how you win in December..."

As you can guess from the headline, it's not actually Chad, as the Miami Herald reports. "I need to send out a press release or something!" the Miami Dolphins gunslinger told the Herald's Jeff Darlington. "Can somebody please let the world know I don't have Twitter or Facebook or any of those things?"

Although Chad took the ruse in stride, his Twitterpostor was much more innocuous than those impersonating Ben Roethlisberger and DeMarcus Ware. Big Ben's online copycat posted a false message indicating that he had contracted skin cancer, while Ware's sent the rumor websites spinning with news that a long-term contract was close at hand; of course, both statements proved to be false.

There really isn't much stopping these false accounts from continuing to pop up, so take anything you read there with a grain of salt... and a 40 oz. porterhouse.

Does a receiver slide?

phyrmun — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:52:05 -0000

Former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Torry Holt agreed to a three-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday . The Jags have the 8th pick, does this mean they address a different posistion early in the draft? They have Dennis Northcut and Troy Williamson. They could still use some help but maybe this signing means they go in a different direction, Maybe some of the top recievers slide a little bit farther down the board. Probably not, but food for thought...

Boy's release "The Player"

phyrmun — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 05:38:04 -0000

The Dallas Cowboys have released controversial wide receiver Terrell Owens, sources told ESPN's Michael Smith late Wednesday.

I don't think there is any way our front office is intrested in this player. Where do you think he will land? Giants? Who has cap room and needs a big mouth reciever? This should be fun to watch play out...Especially now that teams have spent their free agent money. Could'nt have happened to a nicer guy.

Chad Pennington never gave the New York media any more fodder to play up the revenge angle when the Dolphins met the Jets. Pennington, who the Jets got rid of to make room for Brett Favre, didn’t even acknowledge that there was an extra ounce of satisfaction when the Dolphins clinched a playoff spot by winning in New York.
