    Bloggers, do you ever wonder how four of the undrafted free agent rookies at minicamp happened to be from Fort Wayne, Indiana?

    Simple, they're all represented by Fort Wayne-based agent Eugene Parker, who has had a long-standing relationship with Dolphins czar Bill Parcells.

    How else would unheralded CB Aaron Lane, a reserve at Purdue, get signed (he has since been cut), or Purdue receiver Selwyn Lymon (who was kicked off the team for a couple of off-field issues), or CB Will Billingsley (who wowed the Dolphins brass with his lightning-quick 4.3 40 on wet grass) but didn't have much of a senior year at NC A&T, or WR Justin Wynn, who hasn't played ball in four years so he could get two jobs to help support his mom and siblings, make it to Dolphins headquarters and sign minimal contracts?

    Parcells has always been king of the cronies, some things never change.
