Minding Their Manners: Dolphins To Extend FB Polite
The Dolphins are extending one of the likely lesser-known players on their roster, showing that it's not just the big names that are important. The Dolphins, according to a source, have given a 2-year contract extension to FB Lousaka Polite. The extension will now give him $3.7 million over the next three seasons. This isn't a surprising move for the Dolphins. Triforce...

The Shark is Out of the Bag: Sentinel Reporter Catches New Stadium Name
As I reported a few days ago, the Dolphins are holding a press conference tomorrow. If you just go by what the Dolphins are saying, then you have no idea why because they aren't saying anything. But we do know that Jimmy Buffett will be performing. Buffett wasn't much more forthcoming, only saying that he would be at the announcement and that it would be good. The...

A More Varied Phish Tank: Dolphins About To Rename Stadium
A stadium that has had 4 names in its scant 22 years of existance is preparing for number 5; Landshark Stadium.If a parent renamed their child as often as the Dolphins have renamed their stadium, that child would go through therapy as an adult. The stadium opened as Joe Robbie Stadium in 1987. In 1996, Wayne Huizenga sold the naming rights to Fruit of the Loom and the stadium...

Fodder for the Cannon?: Dolphins Sign Nine UFA's, Give QB Tryout
The NFL Offseason is a pretty basic checklist. After the Pro Bowl (though this year, the Pro Bowl comes before the Super Bowl), the next major event is the NFL Combine and then College Pro Days. That is followed by the NFL Draft. We've now checked the next box that follows the Draft, the signing of undrafted free agents (UFA's). Teams use these players mostly to fill...

Beck Gets the Call: Dolphins QB Released
In a move that will shock...well, absolutely nobody, the Dolphins tonight released QB John Beck. It's a move that is really best for both sides. Beck, selected by the Dolphins in the 2nd round of the 2007 NFL Draft, never caught on with the team. Picked as the QB of the future by the now-former regime, Beck was thrust into the starting role during the toughest stretch of...

The Dolphins generated some buzz taking...

Extra Credit: Dolphins Get Great Grade On Day 1
Day 1 of the NFL Draft is obviously (very obviously, seeing as Day 2 starts in about 7 hours) in the books. So how did the Dolphins do?Vontae Davis/Sean Smith - I can't really react to these guys separately because they just feel like a tandem package. Davis is the tackler, knocking down both passes and players. Smith is the ballhawk, grabbing the interceptions and keeping...

He's Got the Right Name: Dolphins Select 2nd CB, Sean Smith from Utah
Gotta love guys who have that first name and spell it RIGHT...S-E-A-N.Anyway..the Dolphins further shored up the defensive backfield, clearly responding to the big-name receivers in the AFC East.

The wrench's name is Pat White.Pat White is the athletic slashy type QB from West Virginia University. White is an amazing all around athlete, and I'm not just talking about football.
