This is interesting to read. I haven't had a chance to see the press conference but I think this is good.

Win, Lose, or Tie, I will be a Dolphins Fan Until I Die:up:

Good point. I hear it wasn't worth the time to be honest with you.

Proof of life maybe?

AFAIK, it was mandatory, the NFL required it or Irish would have studied pee wee football tapes from Miami Dade's optimist league.

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!! After all 32 NFL generals managers finished giving their pre-draft interviews, it appears that Jeff Ireland was the only one who kept his wish list secret. But after the other 31 teams disclosed their top targets, Jeff Ireland noticed that Eric Berry fell to #12 and went on record saying that Miami intends to draft Berry. Contract negotiations should be finished by tomorrow before lunch.

I watched the first half or so of the live chat fan Q&A session. I learned more about the Cowboys than the Dolphins.

That's just foolish...

...You don't sign anything on an empty stomach, it's just bad practice.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
