Williams Sisters to Buy Minority Stakes in Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins, who already sport Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony as part-owners, are set to add to the tabloid buzz at Land Shark Stadium with the addition of the Tennis dominating sisters.

Hopefully, they'll bring some of that winning culture to a Miami team that is being vastly overlooked despite having won the AFC East over the Patriots last season.

Dolphins Coach Runs "Football's Version of Guantanamo Bay"

Within the first week four players either left camp or, in the case of tight end Jared Bronson, did not report in the first place.

Also quitting were offensive tackle SirVincent Rogers, safety Ethan Kilmer and, most recently, fullback Matt Quillen, who lasted three days after being signed last week.

None of the four were expected to make the final roster, but so many defections in such a short span still had Dolphins coach Tony Sparano grasping for answers.

"I wish I could tell you," Sparano said Monday. "It might be me! I told you I'm not for everybody."

And that's why the players that remain are great!

Dan Marino Actually Greatest Comeback Quarterback, Not Elway

It was so often referenced that Elway conducted 47 fourth-quarterback comebacks. Problem is, comebacks aren't an official NFL stat. Kacsmar found that teams defined a fourth-quarterback comeback differently. The Denver Broncos were liberal with their interpretation, while the Miami Dolphins were conservative.

The Broncos gave Elway credit for a fourth-quarter comeback if they went into the fourth quarter tied and then pulled ahead. Included in that oft-referred to 47 was a game that ended in a push.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, considered only games in which Marino took the field in the fourth quarter while behind and he engineered a winning drive.

Kacsmar standardized a definition and crunched the data again.

Final tally: Marino 36, Elway 34.

Boo. Yeah.

Vegas Delivers Some Great Locker Room Material for the Fins

The Las Vegas betting over/under on Dolphin wins is a mere 7 ½ victories. That means the experts, the money, is on Miami retreating to mediocrity and failing to even make the playoffs, struggling and losing against a much more difficult schedule.

First reaction: what disrespect for the defending champs of the toughest division in the NFL who won 11 last year and actually added in the offseason.

Second reaction: you know this is going to posted on the door for the team to slap every time they run out to the field to beat some sorry suckers down.
