Sports and Thrones: Arya vs. Dame

  There has always been quite a bit of crossover between sports and HBO’s Game of Thrones. That’s somewhat due to the shared audiences — a lot of men between 18 and 49 — but also because of Bleacher Report’s brilliant Game of Zones, in which Pat Riley used to make appearances as Tywin Lannister, […]

Dolphins seeking specific trait for their rebuild

The Dolphins have been a dull football team for a long time. And while it would be an unfair accusation to say they’ve been a dumb one too, they haven’t exactly been marked by their overall intelligence. Unlike the Patriots, who seem to adjust to every circumstance, between or within games,the Dolphins have struggled to […]

Dolphins acquire Josh Rosen for two picks

Over the past 15 years, under four different regimes, the Miami Dolphins have spent second-round picks — either in the draft or in trades — on five different quarterbacks. A.J. Feeley. Daunte Culpepper. John Beck. Chad Henne. Pat White. Hopefully, the sake of Chris Grier — who has been here all this time — this […]

Day 2 options for the Dolphins

The NFL draft resumes Friday night, and the Dolphins have picks in the second (48) and third (78) rounds. There are plenty of options at positions of need — because, for the Dolphins, every position is a position of need.

Grier demurred, and the media moved to other topics. […]

Miami Dolphins take Christian Wilkins in first round

The Dolphins had a shot at a quarterback. But they’ve taken only three in the first round in 42 years, and that didn’t change Thursday. Miami passed on Dwayne Haskins at No. 13, and didn’t trade down as many expected, instead taking two-time collegiate champion defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Wilkins introduced himself to the NFL […]

CK Parrot on the Dolphins draft options

Chris Kouffman (@CKParrot) is everywhere. (Well, he’s actually in Tampa watching tape and managing money, but you get what we mean.) He appeared on more than five hours of draft previews on our popular Three Yards Per Carry podcast. He made a stop in with Brendan Tobin and Brett Romberg and our Kevin Mayer on […]

Your preference for Dolphins on Thursday: Punt

There’s usually great excitement for the NFL Draft, as fans dream of the player their team will add in the first round. Dolphins fans? They’re not really feeling that. After an offseason of relatively inactivity — other than changing coaches, letting respected veterans walk, floating a tanking agenda to the media and signing some guys […]
