Dolphins on The Edge

sike j/k

thing about dolphins is they have an aging average qb (frerotte) and no qb for the future (unless you consider rosenfels that which he really isnt)

I think getting bumped by James again might push Ricky Williams over the edge (so to speak)...

Williams was supposed to be the top RB that year (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/1999/nfldraft/players/17788.html), but we all know how that turned out.

for the life of me, i cannot see the skins taking rickie in any trade., he is no riggins. look at the effect their substance of choice causes..

alcohol causes rage. it is the number 1 risk factor in spousal or child abuse
pot causes lethargy and lack of ambition. tell me when you read about the first case of someone smoking pot and going on a violent rampage (unless it is laced with pcp or some other substance)

tell me again why we want a (former?) admitted pothead on our team to bash heads and get key first downs?


With all due respect do you think the Redskins are a bunch of squeaky clean guys? I mean have you seen the Hungry Man commercials with Clinton Portis. Guys fricking high as a kite (thats probably why hes eating all those hungry man dinners). Hell Portis's 20 pound bulk can probably be partly credited to having the munchies. What about Sean Taylor? He's been a model citizen.

Look the fact of the matter is that the players on our team (and around the league, a la Ricky) sometimes live life on the edge. As far as I'm concerned they can smoke as much pot as they want, drink as much as they can, and snort to their hearts content. As long as they don't hit women, molest kids, kill somebody, or God forbid cause problems in the locker room, I could care less about what they do off the field. Trust me as far as problems among players go, being a pothead ranks among the least problematic.

Just ask Michael Pitman who purposely ran his hummer into his wifes sedan while their kid was with her in the car just after the couple had a fight (if anyone deserved to get spit on it was him). Anyway sorry if I might have came off as attacking you. I was just trying to prove a point that we shouldn't consider a player for the fact that hes a stoner.

And to answer some of your questions I do not drink or smoke (or snort).

Living in SW Fl, I get a lot of play on the 'fins. Ricky plays because he owes the fish 8m. If not, he would still be on the worldwide Dopeboat cruise. No doubt, he has talent, but as soon as he can figure out how to evade the Dolphins army of accountants, attorneys, and equally forbiding army of child support cases, he's gone! Not our kind of Guy
the fins are getting props for coming a long way in one season. by all appearances, good coach, good progress (left for dead last season, much like us), making good moves to the coaching staff in the off season.

I thought it was more a case of Edge being interested in the Dolphins since he's from South Florida, not necessarily the other way around.

I think that's the case as well, there have been whispers of James wanting to go to the Dolphins for years now. I think he's the main cause of the rumors.

I don't see the Dolphins having much interest when they already have Williams and Brown. They have other need areas like OL, QB, WR to tend to first.

every year some team gets pegged as the "sleeper."

Last year, 05, it was the Cardinals, the year before who was it? The Lions? The Dolphins could very well do good this coming year, but right now everyone is just loving them ...

HA! PW3ND.

Jacksonville would be a good fit for James. Taylor is always hurt and is nearing the end of his career.
