I called that during the offseason. I knew he would be gone because of her comments. I think she knew that as well and forced the Dolphins hands to get him away. Shes not our issue anymore. Good riddance.

The comments from the Tampa GM in that article are hilarious.

Why the flip is the billionaire owner of a professional sports franchise fouling his mouth by speaking words in public about an ignorant person? He should not be commenting on Miko Grimes at all. Her behavior should have no impact on the Miami Dolphins in any way. Not at the ownership level. Cutting a pro bowl player because his sperm bank has a potty mouth is bad business. Advertising it is unprofessional. The only thing Burnt Grimes should be judged on is how many times I had to watch Calvin Johnson sit on his face. Or how often he managed to fall down when he was being used by an opposing WR. Miko doesn't matter. Not to Steven Ross she shouldn't.

If we had the 2014 version of Brent Grimes last year, he wouldn't have been cut regardless of what Miko said or did.

Here I was thinking this was beneath Ross. Some things are better left unsaid.
Absolutely nothing to gain from spouting off about former employees' wives.
The Martin/race and now Philbin comments as well for that matter.
Ross is too candid for his own good.

This is one instance where I envy other teams who's coaches and owners who say "Nothing to say about that, we're moving on as an organization." But no, our owner has a worse mouth than the mouth of the south in Jerry Jones. Its embarrassing.

Come on... we all knew that this was a big reason why Grimes was cut. It's not like Ross is giving out state secrets here...

Ross simply doesn't know how, or when to keep his mouth shut, he's a media whore, stick a mic in his face and watch him go.
Taking parting shots at a former players wife?, lol, is he trying to get on Springer or something?
If you're worried about a players wife speaking her mind and exercising her 1st amendment rights as an American, what does that say about how strong you think your organization is?
He makes Jerry look sage, quite the accomplishment, Ross is an embarrassment of an owner.FinSane likes this. -
Over react much? Wait until Tampa goes 6-10 or even 8-8 and watch how enjoyable Miko is then. IIRC fans in Atlanta warned us too

"I think everybody knows what she represented,’’ Ross told reporters at the NFL owners meetings Tuesday, the Palm Beach Post reported. “I thought it was best that the Dolphins move on from Brent and Miko.”
That's spouting off?Shane Falco, resnor, number21 and 1 other person like this. -
If anything, Ross is out there comfirming, yes... she's the main reason we cut him, because we don't want those types of distractions in the organization. He's only confirming thing's he's said in the past about not wanting stuff like that around the team.
Some of you guys... Christ, any chance to complain and we're all over it.
This is a complete non-issue. If it was a complete surprise we cut Grimes, and nobody understood why, then Ross comes out saying this, then yes, I get it... but the damage was already done here by the Grimes'. Not Stephen Ross.finfansince72, Shane Falco, M1NDCRlME and 3 others like this. -

We're actually mad at someone for diplomatically telling the truth instead of diplomatically lying or diplomatically avoiding the issue. As a group of people, our priorities have gotten insane.Springveldt, finfansince72, number21 and 2 others like this. -

The only press coverage this team seems to get is negative coverage and alot of it is self inflicted when you have a buffoon of an owner. I can't blame the Northeast centric media anymore when our team continues to do everything the wrong way.

Hating Philbin in November of 2014 was absurd. Hating on Ross because he said this:"I think everybody knows what she represented,’’ is absurd.
Now, if we're gonna talk about patterns let's talk about patterns..like you hating everything, you being wrong and never fessing up to it, etc. -

Why would anyone fault them for getting rid of a guy who was not good last season AND his wife was a constant source of gossip and bad publicity for the team, even IF he played at a Pro Bowl level?

So wait, basically everyone in the world, especially the US cries the world has become too PC, now here we are begging for a PC answer. Ridiculous.

That's pretty much what you got though... He told it like it was. It's no secret, everyone knew.
This really isn't the big deal some of you want to make it out to be for the sake of hating Stephen Ross. Again, he's done plenty of dumb things ib good time here. This is far from an issue compared to some of them. Quite frankly, there's nothing wrong with it.
