Armando Salguero: Super Bowl bids a game of their own

In this artist drawing provided by the San Francisco 49ers, the proposed 49ers stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. is shown. NFL owners will vote on the sites of the 50th and 51st Super Bowls on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at their spring meetings. The San Francisco area, where the new stadium is being built in Santa Clara, and South Florida are competing for the the 50th edition, to be held in February 2016.

Armando Salguero: Dion Jordan sidelined now, but must thrive in future for Miami Dolphins

Dion Jordan didn’t exactly jump out of the blocks to start his NFL career, and that’s not an aspersion but simply the truth. The Dolphins first-round pick is still recovering from shoulder surgery, which everyone knew about, so when most of the other rookies got busy trying to impress coaches during Friday’s rookie camp practice, Jordan simply watched.

Armando Salguero: Focus shifts to Miami Dolphins’ Joe Philbin, Ryan Tannehill

The names the Miami Dolphins added in the draft this weekend start to blur after a while because general manager Jeff Ireland did a fine job of gathering a lot of picks for this draft and then filled his needs as well as desires over three exhilarating days.

Armando Salguero: Time will tell if improving defense was the right move for Miami Dolphins

Years from now when hindsight puts this NFL draft into focus, we’ll know if the Dolphins decision to improve on defense instead of turning the offense into a loaded point-manufacturing machine was the right way to go.
