Feel like a traitor. Always said I wouldn't write about who wasn't playing in a golf tournament -- just those who were playing -- and here I go anyway, taking off on how it hurts not having Tiger Woods at Doral. Edwin Pope: Golfspeak is full of contradictory sayings http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/03/11/1523497/golfspeak-is-full-of-contradictory.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/03/11/1523497/golfspeak-is-full-of-contradictory.html Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00 EST Remembering some favorite sayings about the toughest sport humankind has invented, as it comes back around to Doral. As usual, selection committee for Pro Football Hall of Fame gets it right http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/06/1467135/as-usual-selection-committee-for.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/06/1467135/as-usual-selection-committee-for.html Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:00 EST They got it right Saturday, the way the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee usually does. I've always contended that the people who deserve to make the Hall do make it, and they did, again -- Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, John Randle, Rickey Jackson, Russ Grimm, Dick LeBeau and Floyd Little. Colts' Jeff Saturday, Peyton Manning have special bond http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/03/1461621/saturday-manning-have-special.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/03/1461621/saturday-manning-have-special.html Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:00 EST Get right down to it, Peyton Manning isn't that different from the rest of us in one respect. Colts' Peyton Manning close to being the greatest QB http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/02/1459736/manning-close-to-being-the-greatest.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/02/1459736/manning-close-to-being-the-greatest.html Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:00 EST Is Peyton Manning the greatest quarterback of all time? Or will he be?<p/> <p/> To the first question -- very possibly. To the second -- absolutely yes. Edwin Pope: NFL should bring Pro Bowl back to South Florida http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/01/1456694/miami-pro-bowl-a-success-nfl-needs.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/02/01/1456694/miami-pro-bowl-a-success-nfl-needs.html Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00 EST Between that spanking-new statue of Don Shula and that blockbuster crowd of 70,697, the Pro Bowl had itself a time. Another trying Miami Dolphins season concluded as it began http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/01/04/1408112/another-trying-miami-dolphins.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/01/04/1408112/another-trying-miami-dolphins.html Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:00 EST Not one soul I know has faulted this Dolphins team on the try quotient, even as it finished precisely and drearily the way it started, with three consecutive losses. But it was the father of Dolphins big boss Bill Parcells, I think, who first told him, ``You get no points for trying.'' Inconsistencies overshadow any positives for Miami Dolphins http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/12/27/1400177/inconsistencies-overshadow-any.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/12/27/1400177/inconsistencies-overshadow-any.html Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:00 EST The Dolphins finally got motivated Sunday, but the wrong end of zip-to-27 is a little late to start self-stimulating. No doubt about it, Miami Dolphins' Chad Henne stood out Sunday http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/12/07/1369157/no-doubt-about-it-miami-dolphins.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/12/07/1369157/no-doubt-about-it-miami-dolphins.html Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:00 EST Come on, 'fess up. You know you've doubted Chad Henne at times. You know you've said to yourself, No way the Dolphins entrust their future to Chad Henne's hands. It was harder than it looked, but Miami Hurricanes get job done http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/11/22/1345761/it-was-harder-than-it-looked-but.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/11/22/1345761/it-was-harder-than-it-looked-but.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00 EST Don't be misled by the 34-16 size of Miami beating Duke. The Blue Devils had the Hurricanes in deep trouble with eight minutes left. Miami blew it all out only in the last part and finally, at 8-3, looks like the best batch of Canes in at least four seasons. Win against Bucs is Miami Dolphins' gutsiest ever http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/11/15/1335377/win-against-bucs-is-miami-dolphins.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/11/15/1335377/win-against-bucs-is-miami-dolphins.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00 EST After as possum-ugly a game as the NFL will cringe to see, the Dolphins showed the one thing that would save their Sunday. After win, Miami Hurricanes on way back to where it belongs - in top 10 http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/11/07/1322542/after-win-miami-hurricanes-on.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/11/07/1322542/after-win-miami-hurricanes-on.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:00 EST What a lot of people can't figure out today is how Virginia ever won three games this season. The closest thing to an answer is that they weren't playing anybody like Miami those days. Miami Hurricanes, Clemson endure wild game, simple ending http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/25/1299080/miami-hurricanes-clemson-endure.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/25/1299080/miami-hurricanes-clemson-endure.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:00 EDT Crazyball!<p/> Possibly we have had wilder games than Clemson beating Miami 40-37 in overtime. Just don't waste any energy trying to look one up online. There certainly hasn't been one since the Internet was born. Brutal twists, turns from start to end in Miami Dolphins' win http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/13/1279585/brutal-twists-turns-from-start.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/13/1279585/brutal-twists-turns-from-start.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Just dial it up, folks, Put the Dolphins and Jets on Monday Night Football and stand back and watch them bruise each other. Just don't call it a night too early, or you miss Ronnie Brown's triumphant 2-yard touchdown burst for this 31-27 classic victory with six seconds left. FAMU not a true test for Miami Hurricanes http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/11/1277068/famu-not-a-true-test-for-miami.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/11/1277068/famu-not-a-true-test-for-miami.html Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:00 EDT Florida A&M collected a fat $600,000 paycheck Saturday night, but I don't know that you can put a price on the humiliation the Rattlers paid. Miami Dolphins' dominance is a sight for sore eyes http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/04/1267022/miami-dolphins-dominance-is-a.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/10/04/1267022/miami-dolphins-dominance-is-a.html Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:00 EDT By any standard, this was a laugher, except NFL teams never laugh at anyone for fear of the inevitable biteback. Anyway, Sunday was as easy as they come for the Dolphins, who bludgeoned the Buffalo Bills 38-10 with 250 yards rushing to the hated invaders' frail 46. It's no illusion: Miami Hurricanes put a hurt on Ga. Tech http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/09/18/1239364/its-no-illusion-miami-hurricanes.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/09/18/1239364/its-no-illusion-miami-hurricanes.html Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:00 EDT After an opening 30 minutes that was more of a public flogging than a major-college football game, the main question became: Was the first half only an illusion, or is that really a thunderbolt traveling in the disguise of the Miami Hurricanes? Angel Cabrera pulls out thrilling Masters victory http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/04/13/997249/angel-cabrera-pulls-out-thrilling.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/04/13/997249/angel-cabrera-pulls-out-thrilling.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:01 EDT AUGUSTA, Ga. -- And so they came to sudden death, an incongruous designation for a Masters Tournament as lively as any ever played. And then Chad Campbell putted his chance away. And Kenny Perry, who at 48 years 8 months would have been the oldest man ever to win a Masters, knocked a bad drive on the second playoff hole, and there was only Argentina's Angel Cabrera to step into the green coat that is sports' most-sought-after haberdashery. Dream Masters finish might be left to dreamers http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/04/12/996126/dream-masters-finish-might-be.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/04/12/996126/dream-masters-finish-might-be.html Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:01 EDT AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Dreams are busting up all over the place. Tiger Woods probably isn't going to win his fifth Masters. Not Sunday, anyway. Phil Mickelson won't nail his third. Paddy Harrington can forget taking his third consecutive major. Tiger Woods needs historic finish http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/04/11/994819/tiger-woods-needs-historic-finish.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/04/11/994819/tiger-woods-needs-historic-finish.html Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:01 EDT AUGUSTA, GA. -- Tiger Woods' last hole Friday told his 2009 Masters Tournament story as well as anything. He hit into a bunker and then two-putted. That gave him an un-Tigerlike total of 61 putts for these first two Masters rounds.
