The Orange Bowl will live one month longer than we expected! The last time it will be used for an official game will be in the first week in January, so I assumed it would be torn down shortly after that, like 10 minutes after the final whistle, regardless whether or not everyone made it off the field.

Eh, I was going to run through the list of items you can buy, but I really don’t feel like it.

The Herald has it all here.

I have my eyes on a locker, but I’m assuming they are all going to be a fortune, and if anything, I’ll get stuck with number 77’s locker or something.

The urinals are are such a gimmick for a good story. They will sell a couple to some creeps, but if they really wanted to escalate sales exponentially, they might want to think of putting little pictures of Shalala in them.

The title pretty much gives this story away. I’ve been to many Marlins and Heat games where people try and surprisingly get their middle finger on the Jumbotron, but this girl takes the cake.

Hey, at least there was finally some excitement at a Grizzlies’ game.

Thanks: AwfulAnnouncing.

At first when I think of this feat, I admire how truly incredible that ‘01 team was. But shortly after, depression sets in. I know after the team of the ’80s, no one thought we could assemble another team like that, and we did. But I’ll say this right now: no college football team will ever be as good as the ‘00 and ‘01 Canes were. No chance.

FAU:

FAU is playing in the New Orleans Bowl tonight against Memphis tonight. I say FAU takes this one. Memphis played pretty well in the past few years, but this season finished with a 7-5 record after playing nobody and escaping close games. Granted, FAU didn’t have the toughest of schedules either, but they should be heavily motivated to win this game.

And how can we not root for Schnell? This is the man that started it all at the University of Miami.

Zo:

Zo is out for the season, and likely his career. This injury hurts more than anybody in Miami aside from D. Wade or Jason Taylor. Zo is the heart and sole of this Heat team. In the only game I have seen live this season, Zo was the only player motivated to win throughout. I just hope this team can stick together despite this.

Panthers: The Panthers are finally above .500 and right in the mix for the post season!

Heat:

For the first time I’ve ever seen, a team will probably win a protest as the Heat will probably need to play against Atlanta since Wednesday night’s game will probably be abolished. With 51 seconds left in the game against the Hawks, Shaq was whistled for his fifth foul, but the scoring crew had it as his sixth. Apparently, there was a disputed foul with 3:24 left in the fourth in which Udonis hacked a Hawk, and even though the ref called Udonis for the foul, the scorers gave it to Shaq. Video evidence after the game showed that Udonis was clearly the fouler. Miami ended up tying to game and sending it to OT, after which they lost by six points.

By league rules, you must file a protest within 48 hours of the dispute, as well as pay $10,000 that is nonrefundable if you lose the challenge.

What is still unknown is how the Heat are so bad that they have lost to Atlanta twice in this still young season?

T minus 48 hours until the kickoff in Foxborough. I try not to think about recent experiences of the ‘Phins in New England, because all I picture is snow and bad luck.

At this point, it would take one of the greatest sports miracles of all time for the Dolphins to pull this victory out. Therefore, two things on Sunday will make me happy:

1. The Dolphins win, ending the Pats chance of destroying the 1972 ‘Phins sole possession of history.

2. The Dolphins get blown out, and Tom Brady or Randy Moss get hurt. I’m not a malicious person, I’m not talking career ending injury, I just know that Belichick will have his starters in for the majority of the game, regardless of the score, and I think he needs to pay (preemptively).

I would trade my next five Christmas for a Dolphins victory on Sunday.

Do you think anyone thought having 100+ Santas on the ice during a hockey game was a bad idea? Just when you thought this fight couldn’t get any better, midget Santa comes out swinging. Brilliant!

Blah, blah, blah, Bill Parcells is the new Executive VP of the Miami Dolphins. Sorry I’ve been so late to get to this story, but I’m on vacation, and don’t find myself around a computer all too often. As a Dolphins’ fan, my first reaction to this was a bad one; just another attempt at the Dolphins trying to hit a homerun by getting a big name guy. But then I started thinking more about this, errr, forcing myself to like the decision, and come up with some reasons why this is a great decision.

1. Parcells was a great coach in the ’80s and early ’90s, but since then, he’s been a consistently average coach. My beef with Parcells is that although he’s always been a great coach and all around football guy, he hasn’t adapted to the personalities of new age professional athletes, and hasn’t been able to relate with anyone in the least bit. I’ve always said about the guy, if he could run the team without any personal bonds with players, he could work out.

2. Parcells knows how to build a team. The only question is whether or not the ‘Phins organization is going to give him the time necessary to do it. If Parcells wants to be, he can be patient and can rebuild. The only problem is that given his history, he doesn’t stick around long enough to get his team going. This upcoming draft is going to be a forecast of his time spent in Miami. If he can force another team to trade up for the ‘Phins number 1 overall draft pick, he can build a solid unit on both the offensive and defensive lines and this team can be competitive three years from now. If he goes for the sexy pick, McFadden, he might leave halfway through his contract.

It’s not going to be easy getting a foolish team to take the number 1 pick. The NFL is in a terrible cycle of underachieving number 1 draft picks getting paid too much money. Teams are starting to realize this and that so much talent can be found in the later rounds.

Either way, how great is Parcells life going to be? He’s going to get paid shitloads of money, while avoiding the day to day headaches that come with the head coaching position. And, oh yeah, he’s going to live on the beach and probably own a ginormous yacht.

Life doesn’t suck for Bill Parcells.
