Q: Well the time bell rings for 11-11-09, and none too soon! A mere smattering today compared to the usual deluge, the price I pay for having to delay the chat by two hours. We'll be back in our 1-2 comfort zone next Wednesday. Meantime visit my blog 45 times a day and follow along at Twitter.com/gregcote

Submitted by Roly from Miami

Q: Greg what do you think will be the dolphins top priority this off season? Don't you wish we had drafted Percy Harvin? Will Miami go free agency or the draft to pick up a #1 WR?

Answered 11/11/09 15:56:37 by Greg Cote

A: Roly, I won't second-guess the top of the '09 draft much, because CB was a need and Vontae Davis is showing signs of being No. 1-worthy. But WR is such a huge need now that it must be a priority. Love it if they could get Vincent Jackson via free agency. If not I'd spent a No. 1 draft pick on that spot in 2010.

Q: Step aside, Buddy Holly. It's Greg Cote & the Crickets! Only 10 more minutes left in the chat, Cricketeers. You are running out of time to not send in any questions.

Answered 11/11/09 15:51:28 by Greg Cote

A: While waiting for questions, I have taken up calligraphy, whistled Brahm's Lullaby twice, and keyed my neighbor's car.

Q: Cote you think Florida will win the National championship? What about Tebow winning the Heisman? Would you recognize that Florida is the team of the decade if they did?

Answered 11/11/09 15:45:21 by Greg Cote

A: Roly, yes the Gtaors would be my bet for the national title. Yes that would make them the team of the decade in college football. Can't say yes as surely with Tebow. Think he has a great shot, but think the Alabama running back might be a slight favorite right now.

Submitted by Stav from Boston

Q: Surprised Miami fans are questioning Henne (maybe I'm not so surprised). Up here in Boston, Henne quieted all the loudmouth Pats fans I saw the gamewith. They think Henne is pretty damned good. On to my question: Mike Dees helped create the idea of Red Sox Nation. What is he doing for the Dolphins?

Answered 11/11/09 15:43:40 by Greg Cote

A: Stav, I think feelings on Henne down here may be slightly mixed but that most fans are positive and think he'll be good. Not sure what Mike Dee has done with Dolphins' business side. Maybe he's to blame I mean should get credit for the celebrity "orange carpet"!

Q: Now I know what it must be like every week for the guy who does The Herald's online chat on curling.

Answered 11/11/09 15:40:07 by Greg Cote

A: Do they still use brooms in curling? Shouldn't they modernize and go to leaf blowers?

Q: Good news! While waiting for questions, I have learned to crochet, become a philatelist, and spray-painted my dog.

Answered 11/11/09 15:37:35 by Greg Cote

A: I think I may literally be talking to myself here. I'm going to start yodeling to see if an echo comes back.

Submitted by Greg Cote from Cyberspace USA

Q: I would like to announce that Wednesdays from 3-4 p.m. are Death Valley for an online chat. I have more free time here than Tom Brady had in the pocket last Sunday. Maybe I can start transcribing my D-Wade notes, doing a crossword puzzle or learning to river-dance.

Submitted by Chris from Sunrise

Q: You think the marlins bring in any type of big name/semi big payroll type a guy to get us over the edge or is it buisness as usual and we're gonna trade uggla for like 5 no bodies?

Answered 11/11/09 15:29:50 by Greg Cote

A: Chris, I doubt we'll see anything approaching a mega-deal, although trading Uggla probably would net a "name" in return, as opposed to only prospects. Tough to judge some baseball deals right away, though. Like, we might not know for three years if either of the young lefties acquired from Boston for Hermida turn out to be anything or not.

Submitted by Mario from Stuart

Q: Cote, can you pick the buccs to win this week so we can ensure that the fins will win? Also, heard you on Lebetz's show yesterday, good stuff!

Answered 11/11/09 15:27:39 by Greg Cote

A: Mario, thank you for the good-natured denigration of my prognosticatory skills. It's hard to fathom that the Dolphins might lose to Tampa. (Uh oh). As for the other thing, yeah I like going on with Dan because we rarely talk sports. It's so bizarre.

Submitted by Louis from Miami Shores

Q: Who would win in a fist fight, Tiger Woods or Dan Lebetard?

Answered 11/11/09 15:25:48 by Greg Cote

A: Louis, Tiger would win. Younger. Better shape. Plus, somebody would have slipped Tiger a copy of that column in which Dan said golfers were not athletes.

Submitted by Bill from Lakeland

Q: Is it me or is D wade one of the sickest athletes every so play in south florida.. if he stays healthy.. he could seriously go down as an all time great!

Answered 11/11/09 15:24:27 by Greg Cote

A: Bill, not it's not you. I think D-Wade will retire having surpassed South Florida as our greatest team athlete ever. (Shameless Plug Alert) I'll have a column on Wade online later today and in tomorrow's paper.

Submitted by Ralph from Plantation

Q: Besides Tiger, are there any golfers at this current time that are gonna go down as an all time great or close to that?

Answered 11/11/09 15:22:39 by Greg Cote

A: Ralph, I'd say no. Mickelson is a few more majors from joining that conversation. And some of the young guys need to see their potential become reality. It's all Tiger.

Submitted by Paul from Philly

Q: Hi Greg. What do you think the chances are that Dan Henning will be fired after this season? (I hope you say 100%). It seems to me as if he's trying to impress people with his offensive cleverness, using fancy packages and Pat White wayyyyyy more than necessary. How do they ever expect Chad Henne to develop in to a star QB if they pull him off the field two or three times during every series?

Answered 11/11/09 15:17:02 by Greg Cote

A: Paul, the chances are about one-half of 1 percent, I'd say. The offense's problem isn't Henning or too much Wildcat. The problem is no receiver who's No. 1-caliber. Not one.

Q: I think most of you all hadn't heard about the delay, tuned in at 1 as usual, assumed I blew off the chat, and said "Screw him!"
