Ms Henry is pissed I’m sure, but I think the Dolphs got a good deal out of this. Look we are rebuilding anyways, so Taylor and Thomas deserved a chance to be with a contending team instead of putting up the bullshit the Dolphins have to contend with now. These guys are at the end of their careers so we should be happy that they will get a chance to win a championship or Super Bowl.

Thanks Jason Taylor!
Thanks Zach Thomas!

Greg Cote of the Miami Herald makes a compelling and on the verge, genius, argument for trading Jason Taylor for Brett Favre.

Read the argument here.

Cote forgot that the Dolphins traded for Steve DeBerg at one point. Favre is slightly better.

“Here’s one example of why Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor literally doesn’t have time for the fascinating tension gurgling atop the Dolphins organization between Miami’s star boss and Miami’s star employee:

The other day, Taylor rushed late to a lunch with Denzel Washington. Taylor’s Dancing With the Stars partner kept texting him during that two-hour meal to remind Taylor he was late for rehearsal. So Taylor told Washington that, sorry, he couldn’t go over to a nearby hotel to meet a waiting friend of Washington’s who also wanted an audience with Taylor. That friend was Al Pacino.”

From Dan Le Batard over at The Herald

I say let the guy do his thing. He’s more than earned the right and he has to think after football for other avenues.

Comments?

Yes they have to. They have had some tough losses this year.

The Miami Herald is already pushing stats about how nobody has ever gone winless over a full 16 game season.

Texans kicker was one of 3 people to ever hit +50 yard field goals in a game…c’mon.

One of the Miami Dolphins biggest rivals, the Jets, lost one of their all time greats and big third down threat, Wayne Chrebet. He’s reitiring. After 11 years the smallish receiver who was basically a tank that wouldn’t stop is no longer a Jet. Chrebet hurt the Dolphins chances of advancing so many times, I can’t say I’m upset to see him go at all, but Chrebet has our respect, big time.

Ricky started his first day in the CFL today. “lad in shoulder pads, shorts and a blue practice jersey with his new No. 27, the suspended Miami Dolphins running back appeared to be in great shape Monday during his first practice with the Toronto Argonauts.”

This is sure getting a ton of online press.

Dolphins Stadium chooses Daktronics to design and build world’s largest HD LED video display

BROOKINGS, S.D. – Oct. 7, 2005 – Daktronics Inc. (Nasdaq-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., announced today that it has been awarded a contract to design and build the world’s largest high definition (HD) light emitting diode (LED) display forDolphins Stadium in Miami.

Daktronics has been chosen by Dolphins Stadium to provide two large ProStar® video displays, each with true, physical pixel resolution exceeding the 720p high definition television standard of 720 pixel by 1,280 pixel resolution. The largest of the two displays will be the largest of its kind in the world. The project is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2006 baseball season.

The facility will be the first NFL venue to implement true HD large screen video. Sports fans are becoming accustomed to watching their teams on high definition broadcasts. Now fans inDolphins Stadium will see incredible, high resolution, crystal clear, live video and replays on the new digital displays behind each end zone. Both ProStar® screens will incorporate an even wider aspect ratio than the 9:16 wide screen ratio of HD television, and will give fans a wider, more panoramic view of the action. With their superb resolution and super wide format, the displays will also have the ability to show multiple images simultaneously.
