Daniel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Fins signed Arian Foster... I give him three practices before the inevitable season ending injury. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Complete no downside signing. Like it, even if he never plays a down.

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Agree, love this signing. Daniel summed it up completely. Also, apparently Dion Jordan looks like a motivated man. That could make for a dangerous pass rush if it translates into talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 On 5/4/2016 at 0:25 PM, Hi, I'm VALUE! said: Chris Culliver was recently released by the Washington Redskins, most likely due to medicals. I'm not sure what state he's in - he tore both ACL and MCL in November - but as talent goes, he's got potential, is still only 27, and was likely playing through knee issues all last year. Maybe he'll accept a 2 year deal with year 1 being a low-salary redshirt year and year 2 being a prove-it incentive-based deal? He's not particularly big (6', 199 lbs per Rotoworld), but he's had experience in successful defensive alignments with San Francisco and could be a valuable depth piece at the worst. I kind of felt similar about Matt Slauson, who was a competent guard before Chicago released him, but there's already two teams lined up to pay this man, so he may be out of Miami's price range. I came back to be a typical sports prognosticator and say I TOLD YOU SO I CAN SEE THE FUTURE LOL. No, seriously, the Dolphins signed Culliver to a 1/5-ish deal 3 months after I posted this. Even if I am the blind squirrel, it feels good to find a nut once in a blue moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So the new name of the stadium is going to be Hard Rock Stadium, per the Miami Herald. So now, as Devils and Dolphins fans, one of our teams plays at The Rock, the other plays at Hard Rock.

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 So much looking forward to this season. Seattle is a tough opening place to play, but if you're legitimate you win some tough games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Miami claimed Justin Hunter off waivers from Tennessee Yeah saw that earlier- they cut Griff Whalen to make room for Hunter... Worth a shot, has more upside than Whalen and he's reunited with his old Tennessee WR's coach (Shawn Jefferson). Would've liked to have seen them claim Amaro, but Tennessee got him first.

'7' Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Jace Amaro is a weird perplexing case. He had next rising star TE written all over him and had a serious case of the drops...missed a full season due to injuries. Really didnt show much YAC ability but his sample size is still tiny I think we may have given up on him too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Welp I've booked my flight to Miami for my annual pilgrimage to watch our beloved football team- going 10/23 vs Buffalo. This is the third time I've seen them play Buffalo, and they've lost the previous two (including that clusterfvck of a home opener last year). Here's hoping the third time is a charm lol.

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 First off, awesome on the trip to Miami. I need to do it one of these years myself, just to see the ol' stadium once in my life. As to this past week's game, I'm not sure which is worse from this week: 1) That I got my hopes up when I heard that Miami was up 10-6, only to have them deflated in the end, OR 2) That my wife said to me the second she heard that Miami went up 10-6 that they're going to lose anyway and I shouldn't get my hopes up. I am encouraged that the defense played well - hopefully the concussion Williams sustained and the leg injury Mitchell sustained aren't too bad.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Full report on the full stadium experience when you get back. From everything I've read, it's getting rave reviews. Just not being in the blaring sun for the entire game has to be a massive improvement to the overall experience. Me and my wife (who does NOT like being overheated in the slightest) looked like we'd been in a pool about midway through the first quarter of the 2014 season opener (the 33-20 Dolphin win over the Pats, the last season before the renovations). I didn't think it was possible for humans to sweat that much. Hard to believe it's the same building that I went to just two years ago. They really did a terrific job.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm curious what you think of the new stadium. It looks really good and it's nice to see them finally put a semi dome over the heads of the fans so that they don't fry to a crisp. Shade really was a must. It's amazing you look at some of the palaces being built and the Jets and Giants essentially play in the circa 1991 New Comiskey of football. Bland and uninspiring. Nothing architecturally impressive. And too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm truly amazed what the Dolphins were able to do with Hard Rock...that's gotta be one of the best refurbs ever for a professional sports facility. And having been there just a couple of seasons ago...man did it NEED the refresh. I look at it and I can't think of anything that they could've done better.

MadDog2020 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 CR and 7, I will be sure to give everyone a report on the stadium. My cousin who I'm going to the Fins game with went to the 'Canes game last week and said it was like night and day- he really had great things to say about the atmosphere and the building itself. Looking at the before and after photos, you'd never know it's the same facility: Can't wait to check it out!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most common criticism I hear is "Why did this cost so much money?" I haven't been to that many NFL stadiums: whatever they called the pro-reno Dolphins building (it was always Pro Player to me), original Giants Stadium, old Sullivan/Foxboro (that was awful), M&T Bank (Ravens) and Gillette. The latter two are terrific in every way...your typical modern stadiums. I'm sure the Hard Rock is at least on par with those...wouldn't surprise me if it was even better, as both M&T and Gillette have already been around for a while. But yeah, for such a new building, MetLife says NOTHING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 It would do the Jets and Giants a lot of good to embark on a Hard Rock style makeover. At least give the fans overhangs from the elements, break up the seats a bit so it isn't just some cookie cutter type symmetrical bore. You look at Jerryworld, look at Minnesota and what's about to happen in Atlanta and you see how badly we whiffed on this. Granted cost of building in NJ vs the other states is way different but who said you had to make it 82,000 seats them. Do 70,000 seats. Make things closer to the field. The upper deck at Metlife is 9 miles away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
