They also kinda got screwed by that Delay of Game call. That happens a lot. Besides if you look at the game clock a second doesn't even tick off (okay maybe 1 ticked off). Of course it looked like it was 6 hours because they showed the clock (and replay) in slow motion.

See I think he'll fail, but Redick is a dick and is complaining about playing time by the way. I don't think Tebow will do well in the pros, but he's a nice guy so I'd feel worse for him than JJ Redick failing....But I understand your take on it What makes you think Tim Tebow is a nice guy? He comes from the Jay Cutler, Philip Rivers, Jake Delhomme school of completely bitchy quarterbacks, only without the requisite ability to throw footballs. Tim Tebow is a complete douchebag. because he circumcised some poor filipino kids instead of partying last spring break?

Against the 2nd worst team in the NBA nonetheless! i didnt say i was impressed

its nice to see the bulls actually look like a good team

Talk about exactly opposite styles in QBs. Miami would go from a weak-armed, smart game manager to a strong-armed, flaky gunslinger. That'd be interesting to see. Pennington's rep as a game manager is crap. He managed his way to 4 interceptions today. He can't stretch the field, which kills them against good defenses. Not that I think Rex is all-world or anything, but he'd instantly make that offense less one-dimensional. I'd start Henne over signing Rex, and I'm actually a fan of Rex. You do realize that Pennington had a higher QB rating than anyone in the NFL this year except for Rivers, right? He had a horrible game today with the INTs but he was phenomenal all season long. 3,653 yards, 19TDs/7INTs, 67.4 completion %. He's definitely limited by his lack of arm strength, but he's still a very good quarterback. By the way, he did all this with an undrafted FA (Davone Bess) and Ted Ginn as his top 2 receivers (plus Camarillo until he got hurt). Taking nothing at all away from Pennington, but I always thought Bess was better than a UDFA. He should've been drafted, that's still not a remarkable receiving corps. I agree completely that he should have been drafted. But still, the point remains.

The QB will be Pennington for 1 more year then Henne will take over. Henne may even get a chance to win the job for next year, but I wouldn't bet on that.

I'll say it one last time. Hell of a season. Thank you, Miami. Few players away from being a real good team.

In this game? Yes.

Well it was a good season. It was fun to care about Dolphins football again.

If anyone wants to go to the game tomorrow I have 2 tickets that I can't use. I live about 5-10 minutes from the United Center and will be home until 11:30-noon. They're crappy tickets ($10 each). You'd have to pick them up from my apartment though. Send me a PM if you want them.

the only thing i would change is every player in that lineup I think he nailed Theriot.

go fins

As a Dolphins fan, I thought there was no way in hell they'd make the playoffs this year. They were a 1-15 team last year and on paper looked to be even worse this year. They got rid of Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor over the offseason and traded away Chris Chambers right before the trade deadline last year. Their only big time addition was Chad Pennington and I didn't think a QB could make that huge of a difference in his first year with a new team without having a full offseason to get accustomed with everything. The picks of Jake Long, Kendall Langford, and Davone Bess (UFA actually) have greatly improved the team as well as the improvements made by Ted Ginn Jr, Patrick Cobbs, and Yeremiah Bell. Smiley and Camarillo were both playing phenomenal (especially Smiley) up until their season ending injuries. All in all, I really like the way Parcells and Sparano got this team turned around so quick. They got younger and added depth to the offensive and defensive lines and got good value with some later picks/UFAs. Then you got little moves that don't get talked about much like aquiring Anthony Fasano to pair up with David Martin. Those 2 TEs have about 850 yards and 9 TDs combined on the season. Now before I get too ahead of myself praising the Dolphins front office, I got to admit that playing an easy schedule is a large reason why the Dolphins are 10-5. But there's nothing you can do about that but stay focused and beat the teams you are supposed to beat, and that's exactly what the Dolphins have done all season long. So hopefully the Dolphins take care of the Jets on the road and then make some noise in the playoffs. I wouldn't mind seeing the Falcons do the same (unless they match up with the Bears)

MIAMI FREAKIN DOLPHINS!!!

what Chad Pennington has done this year is absolutely remarkable.

Are you factoring in the amount each will be getting paid? I assume so because it's not even a discussion if you aren't. That said, I doubt there's room in the budget for Manny.

He's projected to make less than $10M per year so if we miss out on Bradley and Dunn is too expensive, I wouldn't hate it. I don't think he's even on the Cubs radar, however.

or if we do the trade there's a good chance we look something like: 1) Soriano LF 2) Theriot SS 3) Lee 1B 4) Aramis 3B 5) Soto C 6) Fontenot 2B 7) Fukudome RF 8) Johnson CF Depth is good to have, especially when you have Ramirez, Soriano, and Bradley on your team.

Why should trading DeRosa not be a factor? He was a top 5 or so 2B in the league last year and would provide a lot of value to us if we were to sign an injury prone Bradley to play RF. He has a lot of value to us. He also will bring in at least a supplemental draft pick next year if not more.

he's under contract. his "loyalty" is in honoring his commitment to the team. which the pads may not be able to allow him to do

I'm a little disappointed because I would have loved to see a rotation that awesome, but honestly, this is probably for the best. if peavy doesn't change his stance, then the pads will have no choice but to accept less from us and i would be okay with that. if it doesn't ever happen then we retain our trade chips (Vitters, Pie, Marshall, Cedeno, etc), keep dero and his flexibility (who would be very valuable to have if we sign the fragile Milton Bradley), and save money now and in the future. maybe now we have the money to sign furcal and bradley and still have dero to play rf if/when bradley gets injured.

Damn, that's disappointing to here, Jim.

I think I'm gonna go gouge my eyes out with a spoon. Reading this thread is painful.

Bama/Texas and OSU/Utah would have been better games.
