Itching for the Preseason

What's up, Lou? It's been a ridiculously slow news week as far as the Dolphins are concerned. This, my friend, is expected. I guess I could comment on USA Today's Top 25 players of the last 25 years, a list in which your hero and mine, Dan Marino, didn't even make the top 10. Sure, whatever you say, USA Today. Gotta love some of the comments from readers, who must have referenced "How to Argue Against Marino on Pointless Comment Threads and Exude Football Savvy-ness" handbook. Said book is chronicled like this:

Chapter One: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Two: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Three: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Four: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Five: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Six: "He had bad knees."
Chapter Seven: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Eight: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Nine: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."
Chapter Ten: "He may have broken all the records, but he didn't win the big one."

Barry didn't even crack single digits. Wow. Who's got Blair Thomas at the No. 1 spot?

File this one under semi-old news: Saban is off to one FABULOUS start in Alabama. Barring any other future allegations like, say, contraband smuggling, Saban's return to the college game can't get much worse

Here's a glance at a few of the players available in the supplemental draft, courtesy of the Sun-Sentinel. You'll remember that we ditched a fifth-rounder for Manny Wright back in '05. Personally I don't see Cameron making any serious moves to get one of these guys. Doing so would be such a Wann-Stache move. Plus, seeing as more than a few of these guys have character issues or just can't seem to go get a gallon of milk without getting jailed, Coach will most likely pass.
