Obviously, going from an abysmal 1-15 to 11-6 and AFC East Champions was quite the storybook turnaround. But, it wasn't enough, and the team still has a long way to go before it can compete with the AFC powerhouses like the Steelers and the Ravens.

Ok this is my first post for my sports blog. As my profile says I am interested in the minutiae of these sports.
I am thinking that it would be impossible for the "cleaners" (they probably have a cool title) of sports uniforms to wash them after every game and get the grass stains out. Because they would have to budget in brand new uniforms for every game. Isn't that excessive? I mean with all those salaries they pay. Maybe they have little people in the basement scrubbing these things with some secret substance. That would be the real money maker!!! Now that would sell to all those kids teams in the burbs.

The AFC East Champion Miami Dolphins have not shown any team dominance over the last few games of the season and find themselves playing the underdog role against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens come into Dolphins Stadium after securing the last playoff spot with a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Baltimore @ Miami: The Miami Dolphins have gone from worst to first in their division. This time last year, they were 1-15 and on the clock for the 1st pick in the draft. This year they are AFC East Champions. Parcells and Sparano have done a heckuva job down there in South Beach! The Ravens have played beyond their dreams as well, with a Rookie QB who wasn’t supposed to be the starter. The Ravens beat the Dolphins back in Week 7, and were able to tame the wildcat…will they be able to do it again? Yes…the Ravens are a well-balanced team and should be able to handle the ‘Fins. Miami will hang tough and make the Ravens earn it! Baltimore 24, Miami 23.

Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins: I really don't know a whole lot about these teams besides the fact that they both have suffocating defenses and offenses that, while not breaking any records, can put up a few points. The Dolphins have been surprising people all season, and I think that will continue on Sunday. Prediction: MIA 21, BAL 17

The crystal ball had a mediocre performance this past week, going a mere 2-2. We’re not sure what happened, but this is not acceptable. The crystal ball took its lumps on the Cowboys game, but it may have been predicting with its heart rather than its fortune-telling powers? Either way, that puts the crystal ball at 33-26-1 for the season. That’s seven games over .500 (.558 to be exact). Hopefully the crystal ball will perform better in the playoffs! Let’s take a look back, and review what happened last week.

Miami @ New York Jets: The Miami Dolphins must win this game to capture the AFC East, because if they lose they are out of the playoffs completely. The Dolphins have done an excellent job in putting together a competitive team in one season. I’m not surprised though, as Parcells raided the Cowboys front office, coaching staff, and their roster, to get them in position for the playoffs! The Jets must win as well, but that won’t guarantee anything, as they need some help (Patriots OR Ravens need to lose). I like the Jets to win this game, but it will be close. New York Jets 24, Miami 19.

I'm not here to rant and rave about Pennington being snubbed from the AFC Pro Bowl team. Do I think the man deserved a spot on the squad? Absolutely. But, do I understand why he was left off the roster? Of course. Pennington's numbers — 3,453 yards to go with 17 TDs and 7 picks — aren't quite as flashy as the stats Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Jay Cutler have put up through the air this season, but they are certainly solid. For the record, Manning has thrown for 3907 yards, 26 TDs and 12 picks, Favre has 3239/21/19 and Cutler has 4210/24/16 through 15 games this year. Sure, CP has more yards and 12 fewer completions to the other team than Favre, but remember, it's Brett Favre. As long as Favre is healthy and somewhat productive, the man will be in the Pro Bowl.

On Saturday night, the Cowboys had a golden opportunity to close out Texas Stadium in style. This was the final game to be played at the stadium. A Cowboys win would have been a fitting end to a stadium that has had many classic games. A win, and the Cowboys would have been one step further in their quest for a playoff berth, and a Super Bowl run.

The crystal ball, once again, had a stellar performance this past week, going undefeated at 4-0. Truly a tremendous achievement, as many of the games had playoff implications. That puts the crystal ball at 29-22-1 for the season. That’s seven games over .500 (.567 to be exact). Not many prognosticators gave the Cowboys much of a chance against the G-Men, but the crystal ball took a chance on them. The ‘Boys rewarded the crystal ball, and pulled off the upset. Let’s review and see what happened last week.

Last night, on NBC’s prime time Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants, 20-8. The Cowboys desperately needed the win, as they are fighting for their playoff lives. The Cowboys are now 9-5, but so are the Vikings, the Bucs, and the Falcons. The Eagles and Bears aren’t that far behind either. With the Cowboys facing the Ravens and the Eagles in their next two games, the ‘Boys needed a win…desperately.

“A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves”
A Quarterback is usually the unquestioned leader of a football team. When Dan Marino retired, the fins for once in a long time lacked a strong leader, many tried to fill his shoes, (Huard, Fiedler, Griese, Lucas, Feeley, Frerotte, Rosenfels, Harrington, Culpepper, Green, and Lemon) all failed. Some can argue that Jay Fiedler was the best of that list, I beg to differ. Fiedler’s inadequacies were masked by a strong ground game, when that ground game disappeared his true leadership ability showed through.

The crystal ball had a mediocre week, to say the least. The crystal ball went 2-2 for the week, and is now 19-20-1 for the season. That’s just slightly under .500 (.488 to be exact). We need to give it props for predicting the upset of the year (in my opinion). On the other hand, we must chastise it for the debacle in Denver. Let’s review what happened.

Just this past Sunday (November 16th), something occurred in the NFL during a post-game news conference that has left me dumbfounded. The Eagles and Bengals played to a 13-13 tie. Usually that would be news in of itself, since ties are very rare in the NFL. In fact, the last tie came in 2002. The last time an Eagles game ended in a tie was, coincidentally, on November 16, 1997 against the Baltimore Ravens. But what’s got my panties all up in a bunch is what Donovan McNabb had to say after the game.

The crystal ball was a little off this past week, going 2-2. That now puts me at 16-16 for the season, right at the .500 mark. Not exactly great, but we will take it, especially since we didn’t get off to a great start. We even had to have a changing of the guard a few weeks back, but this crystal ball knows that it could be next if it falters! Let’s take a look back and see what happened this past weekend.

Last night, on Sunday Night Football, the Philadelphia Eagles wasted a golden opportunity. The Birds lost to the New York Giants 36-31, at home. Lincoln Financial Field (The Linc) was as loud as ever. The Philly faithful were out in full force, only to be let down, once again, by the Eagles. Many fans are fed up and frustrated with the team.

Here is a definition of what a Flea-Flicker or Trick Play is all about.
One team will lead the defensive players on the opposing team to think they are playing a normal running play, this will cause the opposing team to leave their position and go after the running back, this leaves the quarterback to have the space to pass the football off.

Guess who is the player this month?
Ted Ginn, Jr. Why did I pick Ginn? Because he is finally being recognized and attributed for who he is, and that is a modest, good team player. Not like immodest Linebacker, Joey Porter, 55.

“According to Broncos coach Mike Shanahan who admitted Wednesday that the high altitude is a big reason why the Broncos own the best home record in the NFL over the last 30 years. “We’ve got the best record I think at home over the last 30 years and I don’t think it’s because we’ve been the best football team. I do think there’s an advantage from an altitude standpoint. Players that have played here over the years feel that way as well.” ‘• OLB Joey Porter, who went to school at Colorado, is concerned about the altitude. “The altitude is really big. I’ve trained there a lot. I’ll go back to California for a week and come back and it feels like it’s ripping a hole in your chest. It’s definitely going to take some extra conditioning to where you go up in this thin air, you’re going to feel the difference.” Yahoo! Sports Oct 31, 3:46 am EDT’,”

So, for yet another week, we hear reports of Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter "running his mouth." The three-time Prow Bowler spent the days leading up to Dolphins' Week 3 matchup against New England reportedly saying that Matt Cassel was "no Tom Brady" and guaranteeing the Dolphins' win. Now, two weeks later to the Miami Herald, Porter says he didn't say any of that and that his quotes got construed. What he did say, according to Porter, was that the Fins would "try" to get a win. He did tell the press that he thought the practice of talking up opponents made them sound like "robots," and that he wasn't going to talk like everyone else becuase that's not how people really think.

In my last column I briefly stated that I think the Dolphins could emerge at season's end winning at least half of their games. They have the talent to do so. Coming off of one of the worst seasons in franchise history, where they matched records held by expansion teams in their exhibition year, the Dolphins have done in Week 3 what they couldn't accomplish until Week 15—win a game. The list continues on what the Dolphins, widely known last year in cyberspace as the LOLphins, have accomplished in three weeks that they couldn't do in, well, nearly an entire season in some cases last year. But that's not the point. Coach Cam Cameron had a hands-off approach that the team would just coach itself, or so it seemed. The firing of nearly the entire front office by Vice President of Operations Bill Parcells at the close of last season shook up the team, and left many long-time players to find a new squad. But was that the right choice? Well, I’d like to think that if Big Tuna does something, it’s probably for the best. The out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new-shit-or-get-off-the-pot approach to the 2008 season Parcells took showed that he’s getting the Dolphins back on track. It’s yet to be seen what will be the outcome of the two draft picks the Fins got for Jason Taylor, or if cutting defensive anchor Zach Thomas was the right move. After such a shake-up, including other major player and staff moves, is it possible for the Fins to go 8-8 this year? Aside from winning the seven of their 13 remaining games, there’s gonna have to be some changes. This week I look at positional strategies that could use some tweaking. We’ll start today at running back.

Hello NFL fans,
Well here we are, week four of the third year with his last team. This will be his last team, I truly believe that. If I were an owner I would rather get a letter full of anthrax and then imprisoned IN Cuba to spend the rest of my days. The continuous onslaught of reporters and fans condemning my name and wanting my head on a stick would be too much for me to bare.

So as you probably know by now, week 4 is the Dolphins bye week. Your fantasy football team will be defined by your play when you have star players on their bye week. Hopefully you planned for bye weeks when you drafted your team and are able to just substitute in players from your bench without having to pick up any players off waivers or free agency. However, if you did not plan for bye weeks, here are a few things you can do.

What better way to start my life as a sports blogger than this. It is my opening post, yet more importantly to the sports fan it is Pro Football Eve!!! That's right. Football is back and the 5 month holiday is "The Most wonderful Time of the Year", but only some of us will get presents. Santa Coughlin may be in the giving mood again. It is more likely however, that Giselle will lead the Patriot fans in a Marilyn Monroe inspired "Santa Bra-dy", asking for that "one thing, a ring".
