On Thursday night, at key points in the game, it was about Porter and Randy Starks because what they did was about the Dolphins stuffing Carolina's offense. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/story/1343119.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/story/1343119.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00 EST It made so much sense. It could happen only this way.<p/> On an evening when the Dolphins would be riddled by a ridiculous number of injuries, it would be running back Ricky Williams, the player charged with replacing the most important injured player of all, who would become the hero in this gutsy 24-17 victory. http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/692288.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/692288.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:00 EDT Greg Cote's Week 11 NFL predictions http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/692291.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/692291.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:00 EDT Sign in to make your Week 11 picks http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/760367.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/760367.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:00 EDT http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/692292.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/692292.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:00 EDT Maurice Jones-Drew feels our Week 10 pain http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/830801.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1367/story/830801.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:00 EDT Jeff Darlington answers your questions http://www.miamiherald.com/1343/story/723421.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1343/story/723421.html Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:27 EDT http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1344272.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1344272.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:52 EST It'll be interesting to see what the Miami Dolphins' active roster looks like Nov. 29 in Buffalo.<p/> Dolphins coach Tony Sparano admitted Friday afternoon he isn't sure if the Dolphins will have center Jake Grove (ankle) or nose guards Jason Ferguson (knee) and Paul Soliai (ankle) healthy. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1343277.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1343277.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00 EST CCHARLOTTE, N.C. -- There was an eye-popping moment during the Dolphins game Thursday night when Miami's offense deployed in a five-wide receiver alignment, a look that typically suggests pass-happy, wide-open, light-the-scoreboard football. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1343265.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1343265.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00 EST It's not about him, it's about the team, Joey Porter insisted this week.

Still, there is room for improvement. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1342921.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1342921.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00 EST Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown has decided to undergo surgery to repair a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot, two sources told The Miami Herald. The surgery will be performed Friday. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1341110.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1341110.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00 EST Even with Ronnie Brown out, expect the Dolphins -- and the Panthers -- to push ground attacks. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1340821.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1340821.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00 EST Ricky Williams will be carrying the ball and the burden for the Dolphins as backfield mate Ronnie Brown is out for the season. So welcome to 2002 all over again. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1340640.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1340640.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00 EST The determined Dolphins lost their best player when workhorse running back Ronnie Brown's season came to an early end for the second time in his NFL career. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1340064.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/1340064.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:22 EST Miami Dolphins starting tight end Anthony Fasano (hip), backup nose guard Paul Soliai (ankle) and linebacker Erik Walden (hamstring), who contributes mostly on special teams, were listed with running back Ronnie Brown (foot) as ``out'' on the final injury report before Thursday's Dolphins-Carolina game. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1342627.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1342627.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00 EST For the second consecutive season, I spent an NFL Sunday rotating through a handful of Las Vegas sports books. And as in 2008, it was plainly evident there were just as many fantasy football players as gamblers in the house. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1342625.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1342625.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Worked out pretty well the previous time the Buffalo Bills fired coaches in the midst of a season. It was 1986, and they dumped Hank Bullough for some guy named Marv Levy, who stayed 12 years and put up so many of the AFC roadblocks that kept Don Shula and Dan Marino from getting back to a Super Bowl. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1342626.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1342626.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:32 EST Showed up pretty stout both ways last week, including a bull's-eye on our Upset of the Week with Panthers over Falcons (``Aawwk!''), another outright upset hit with Chiefs winning at Raiders, plus Jags with-points over Jets. Here's how tough this gig can be, though, folks. I predicted Indy would beat the Pats 38-34. Indy beat the Pats 35-34. But that was a loss against the spread. Oy! Nevertheless, momentum remains in my pocket. Must protect the pocket! (Note: Records below do not include Thursday night's game. Pick was Panthers (-3) over Dolphins, 24-20). http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1341221.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1341221.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST DOLPHINS (4-5) AT PANTHERS (4-5)<p/> When: 8 p.m. Thursday (NFL, CH. 39)<p/> Line: CAR by 3 Cote's pick: CAR 24-20 http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1333690.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1333690.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Imet an old friend for dinner one evening last winter in a South Florida restaurant, a big-name guy who had played double-digit years in the NFL back in the 1950s and '60s. Even before our house salads had been delivered to the table, he told me he was starting to take a new medication, Arocept, used to ``slow the progression of Alzheimers symptoms,'' according to the website of the drug company that makes it. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1330699.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1330699.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:00 EST It is time now for our King Sport Halftime Awards at the NFL regular-season's midpoint. By the way, any media outlet that published midseason awards last week did so prematurely. That's cheating, and those outlets are now subject to suspension by commissioner Roger Goodell, or even-worse punishment, such as having to cover the Cleveland Browns. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1330629.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1330629.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:27 EST As a nationally syndicated fantasy columnist and radio host, I am in constant contact with the subjects of my columns.

What a week! http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1322162.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/inside-the-nfl/story/1322162.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:00 EST If it's already the second Sunday in November, it must be time for our midseason NFL report card, featuring the good, the bad and the baffling. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344677.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344677.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:12 EST New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce is out indefinitely after an MRI exam surprisingly revealed a bulging disk in his neck. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344199.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344199.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:06 EST Baltimore Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards plans to appeal the $5,000 fine he received for a hit delivered to Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs on Monday night. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344273.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344273.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:01 EST The NFL Players Association opposes commissioner Roger Goodell's call for players to tell their teams' medical staffs if they think a teammate shows symptoms of a concussion, saying that is not an adequate solution. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344393.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344393.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:21 EST The death of the mother of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been ruled a suicide. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344565.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344565.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:16 EST The Atlanta Falcons will most likely be without the services of Michael Turner for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, as the running back is officially listed as doubtful after being unable to practice this week. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344611.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344611.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:46 EST Cleveland Browns wide receiver/kick returner Josh Cribbs and running back Jamal Lewis have been listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt with the Detroit Lions. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1343791.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1343791.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:11 EST Eric Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play when the Cleveland Browns go against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344338.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344338.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:36 EST New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush has been held out of practice for the third straight day, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344461.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/wires/story/1344461.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:06 EST The Buffalo Bills placed linebacker Keith Ellison on injured reserve Friday.
