--Ricky Williams revealed this week that Bears running back Cedric Benson had invited him to go on Benson's ill-fated boat trip down Lake Travis a few weeks ago. Williams, who has had his share of off-field issues but more with the NFL's substance-abuse policies than the police, said he might've been able to prevent the incident which resulted in his fellow Longhorn running back in getting charged with resisting arrest and boating while intoxicated.

"I think if I had come down, things might have worked out a little bit differently," Williams said in the Austin American-Statesman. "I find I have a calming influence on people I'm around. As a high-level athlete, it's just something that's ingrained in me. I always think that if I'm there, things would be different. I can't say how."

--DE Jason Taylor was given a taped pep talk by Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino before his first dance in Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" semifinals.

"If you don't bring back the mirrorball (trophy, which goes to the champion), don't come home," Marino said. Neither Marino nor Taylor ever won a Super Bowl. Taylor sacked the competition and is now in next week's finals along with champion ice skater Kristi Yamaguchi and actor Cristian de la Fuente.

--Former Michigan offensive lineman Dan Dierdorf, a Hall of Famer, is confident that rookie Jake Long will do fine at left tackle despite the detractors who say he's better suited on the more run-oriented right side.

"I was very uncomfortable in a left-handed stance and to play left tackle from a right-handed stance really puts you at a disadvantage," Dierdorf said in an interview on WFTL-640 AM (South Florida). "You have to take an extra step to get back where you ought to be to assume the pass-protection position that cuts off the edge for an outside rusher. Jake is a natural left-handed guy and is very comfortable at it."

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I was just happy to get back to work, honestly. It's where I belong so I can't wait to get back out there now that you get a little taste of it. I am really excited to get out here with the veteran players and get a chance to really see what we have. I was comfortable out here doing what we did." --Coach Tony Sparano when asked if he felt like a rookie at minicamp.

I wanted to take the time to say that I have been plesently suprised at our team this season,not the record,but the WAY we play. WAIT, before you pass judgement understand that I only expected 8 wins from this team, and I think we can get 9. There are a couple of things that have come to my attention in the first half of the season:

1. Another great draft for the Tuna- I simply Looove o

There are a lot of reasons to feel good after the Dolphins disposed of the Buffalo Bills. Perhaps the biggest reason is a group of young players who are rapidly coming of age.

The future, you could say, is here.

It is here in the form of rookie cornerbacks ...(more)

Anyone think that once again we are "saving" our best offense for the Patriots again this year? It wouldn't surprise me, but if not I for one am getting pretty sick with our conservative and scared playcalling.

I saw many times yesterday in critical passing situations that we would have only one reciever on the field

As bad as we played on offense we managed to win this game. This was a must win game for the Dolphins and they found a way, that says a lot.

QB: Chad Henne looked average at best. He made some nice throws, but he didn't move the ball and put up enough offensi ...(more)

So maybe deep down inside of Parcells is a nice guy, or maybe it's just a nice guy that he ate once. (AHH I CRACK MYSELF UP!!)

I saw this article on Profootballtalk.com's "one-liners" today.

Greetings everyone!
 
2hollywood2 came up with the idea to have a new Vote-Off of the current Miami Dolphins roster, instead of the favorite Miami Dolphins player of all time (a vote-off that is currently going on, but Dan Marino has ran away with the lead...)

So, here we go! It is time to find out who the favo

Well as most of you were ripping on Ted Ginn Jr. hmmmm, and now the ones who did are to proud to acknowledge (spelling?), well I want to point out his First 2 returns as an NFL player.

Great Job Teddy!!!

Just finished watching the Dolphins against the Patriots and i'm simply fed up with dropped catches. We need to get a legitimate number one receiver or we will never have a good passing game. Also it's making Chad H ...(more)

1 The pass rush for Miami will get sacks and alot of pressure on Brady.Miami is more physical than last year.Jason Ferguson said it himself “We are communicating better than we did last year.” Paul Soaliai,Randy Starks,are pushing the O-lines back alot.Ferguson will be fresh now bc the D-line can rotate him now instead of havin ...(more)

Ok so this weekends lose to the New England Patriots, was kinda hurtful, we played pretty well most of the games but couldnt close it out when it mattered the most. Our 3-5 record isnt that bad, really we have 3 up comming games that we should be able to win, maybe the Carolina Panther ...(more)

Dolphin Nation - Not a Knock on you guys but for the sake of the NFL I hope to see a Patriots Touchdown that happened because of a screwed assignment or missed tackle by Motor Mouth Joey Porter.

Ok the guy is a great pass rusher and has been a huge force in his c
