Headline and 2nd paragraph. I put it in quotes. -
And the 2nd paragraph is "A little bit [shocked],'' said running back Ronnie Brown Saturday morning before participating in the Dolphins annual charity fishing tournament. "But you know those guys have a different agenda some time. Unfortunately, it's part of the business, not always being on the same page.'' -

Onto the issue at hand... I hope JT at least says something. Whether it's i will report to camp on time, or I want to be traded. Just say something, and end this ordeal once and for all. somebody... please.alen1 likes this. -

At this point it will almost be better. If he is here all year, there will be some sort of drama between he and Parcells, and the team doesn't need it at all. Its time for a new face of the franchise, someone else to step up. Who is it going to be Ronnie? A rookie? We'll see.
He was a great dolphin and I wish him the best in football, dancing, or acting.alen1 likes this. -

I get the feeling he will be retiring as a fin then.
He really is a primma donna if he thinks he will get what he wants by requesting to be traded in the PRESS, NOW, after months of double speak and whispering to the press like a woman. :pity:cnc66 likes this. -
I had thought that he would end up playing for us after he made the "Training Camp Opens" comments, now apparently that isn't going to happen...
What exactly does he hope to accomplish other then slamming Tuna and Friends with "I wanted to play this year but those mean old new people wouldn't trade me" after all being on DWTS has opened new doors for me..blah blah...
As if going to the media now will change a single thing. -
Silver Lining
Well I look at it this way ..
If JT wants to be traded to a contender a real CONTENDER then one team that makes sense and we have worked well with would be the Cowboys. He gets to go to a team that can get to the big game and continue to play with Zack.
We could hopefully get a player they would want to cast off anyway.
Based on reports over the past 3 months these are the players that we might have a shot at:
Marcus Spears
Bobby Carpenter
and perhaps
Ken Hamlin whom they have still not locked in on a longterm contract.MIKE likes this. -

Scramble your eggs and fry up the bacon.
Pour ya a big cup of coffee.
Should be a very interesting morning. :tantrum: -
JT will retire before this season.
I have nothing new to add, because that's all there is, imo. Hollywood calls.
