    The moving on and getting past began Friday in a way both tangible and symbolic. Dolphins were on a football field again for the first time since the mess that was last season ended. However far the road back to respectability proves to be for this beaten franchise, mark this day as the first step.

    'We're all startin' over here right now,'' said Tony Sparano after a practice that marked his first on-field workday as Miami's head coach. ``I was excited all day. Didn't sleep much last night. All the administrative stuff is behind me. Now we go to work.''

    This was the day that formally began the slow buildup to the 2008 season opener Sept. 7, the day fans could begin looking forward and let all the bad stuff start to fade.

    Only one year earlier, Dolfans were grumbling about an unpopular draft that had them openly booing coach Cam Cameron -- a fitting prelude to what would be a nightmarish 1-15 season that marked Miami's sixth consecutive year out of the NFL playoffs and summarily swept Cameron out of town in ignominy.
