Dave's ramblings about the Miami Dolphins (3 unread)

  • A subtlety I didn't catch

    Number of comments: 0
    In their quest to put the proposed changes to the law to a vote, the Dolphins are using a non-binding referendum. And the county, therefore, is attempting to change the classification (since no political office is at stake, and there is no bond) which would mean that they only need [...]

  • Follow the money!!

    Number of comments: 3
    The dolphins announced that they are willing to make concessions and repay the money for stadium renovations.

    But read the fine print. It's most of the money. And it's in 30 years from now.

    I'm not going to sit here and speculate on the reasons mr [...]

  • Dolphins Offer To Reimburse County For Cost Of Public Referendum

    Number of comments: 0
    Yeah it sounds nice and all, but the comment "if allowed under state law" is apropos. It's not allowed. So it's a hollow gesture.

    Number of comments: 0

    Basically, they are turning the idea slightly.  They will go to Boston (or wherever the owners meeting is on May 22) and pitch Miami as a SuperBowl destination for either L (which would [...]

    A trick play only works if the defense doesn’t know it’s coming. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is asking for $200 million in taxpayer funds in order to renovate the Miami Dolphins’ stadium, including an exemption on [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    When Dustin Keller decided to depart New York to sign with division rival Miami, Dolphins fans were generally encouraged with the move. He was the latest in a number of signings for the Dolphins as Mike Wallace, Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler already joined the squad. So what can Keller [...]

    I am dumbfounded by absurdity sometimes. And the audacity of some people makes me scratch my head.

    The NFL wants host cities to exempt them from paying taxes

    Number of comments: 5
    I admit that I didn't care who the Dolphins signed.  It really didn't matter to me.  But the fact is that I can't avoid hearing about it.  It seems to be the talk of the town the last day or so.  And a comment was in order:
