Sure, the economy is a little rough these days, but if you've got years of experience working with grease, greasy food, and just unimaginable amounts of greasy things, the Miami Dolphins would you to contact them immediately. More »

According to various reports out of Washington, D.C., police in the nation's capital have filed first-degree murder charges against Michael W. Davis, 19, in connection with the April 24 death of a Denver tourist. More »

This is how your NFL draft sausage is made, and it's not pretty: with lies and misdirection and identity fraud and a whole lot of desperation. More »

Smith re-signed with the 49ers after they lost out on Peyton Manning, and he couldn't be happier. "This was always the goal to me," Smith said on a conference call, "just to get back here." That's the sort of diplomatic thing you say when you sign anywhere, but was there really a need to kick sand in the face of the Dolphins after you were their only hope and broke their heart (and after their other only hope broke their hearts)?

Believe me when I tell you that I say this with zero malice: the Dolphins are a pathetic franchise at the moment. It's not so much that two weeks ago they were certain they were going to have Peyton Manning throwing to Brandon Marshall and Reggie Wayne, and now they may have to content themselves with Richard Marshall. It's how desperate and open their one-sided courtship has been, and how publicly they were turned down. The Dolphins are the guy proposing on the stadium jumbotron and getting shot down. More »

It was reasonable to assume that the Dolphins parted with Brandon Marshall, for a discount price, to make Peyton Manning happy. It's the same sort of roster-baiting the Titans are engaging in with their very public courtship of guard Steve Hutchison. But things can have, like, more than one reason, man. Like Marshall being accused of punching a lady outside a Manhattan club early Sunday morning. More »

Why would the Dolphins trade their best receiver to the Bears just two years after executing a deal to get him in the first place? Easy: To get Peyton Manning. Or so goes the theory of those who believe Manning had qualms about playing with Brandon Marshall, who is known to be ornery despite his obvious talents. Today's trade, for which the Dolphins received a pair of third-round picks, reunites Marshall with Jay Cutler, his quarterback in Denver from 2006-08. But it leaves Miami without a wideout who caught more than 51 passes last season. Which must be just what Manning wanted, too. More »

As Peyton begins making the free-agency rounds, Miami fans have taken to the most reliable of valentines: parody song-making. This one features that Celine Dion song from Titanic. Hopefully for Miami fans this courtship ends on better terms. More »

On Jan. 18, Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe reported that Peyton Manning would retire from the NFL that evening. We now know that report was erroneous. But we don't know that Rob Lowe isn't a source worth consulting on the topic of Peyton Manning's free agency. So we reached out to Lowe's publicist, Alan Nierob, for comment: More »

The news is barely a few hours old that the Indianapolis Colts will not pay quarterback Peyton Manning his $28 million roster bonus, thus freeing him to sign with any NFL team next season. You know who's interested in snagging the four-time MVP? Everyone! Well, mostly. A select few would be thrilled to land Manning, and now the jockeying for Perceived Frontrunner Status is well underway. More »

As is the case in most cities with professional franchises, the buildings that host Florida's professional sports teams have been built with the assistance of taxpayer contributions. It's played off as a symbiotic relationship (new stadium means new jobs, more revenue coming in, etc.) but most of the time feels parasitic. Well, destitute Floridians know a thing or two about that.

The sucker punch that dropped a Dolphins fan in the parking lot after Sunday's game vs. the Eagles is so brutal that the meathead who threw it should do some time. The sound of head hitting parking lot is chilling. The louder sound of the initial contact may be worse. Hearkens back to the near-death Bryan Stow case. Better be enough to convince anybody who recognizes the cheap-shot artist to call police. More »

This is not a season highlights package. This is a first-half-against-the-bills highlights package. This is noteworthy because the Dolphins have scored over 28 points only once this year. They put up 31 against the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. It looks like that poor kid may have been wrong. More »

Karlos Dansby had an interception, a couple of passes defended, a quarterback hurry, and 10 tackles in his 2-7 team's win over the 3-6 Washington Redskins on Sunday. And after a performance like that, Karlos Dansby is quite convinced that Karlos Dansby is the best linebacker in the NFL. More »

Because EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING in sports right now, this one has kind of passed under the radar. It shouldn't. When an NFL team finally gets its first win, and does it without its starting cornerback because said cornerback had a really wicked hangover, it is time for celebration. Break out the champagne.

What could prompt Miami coach Tony Sparano to put his 5-bed 5-bath Mediterranean style home on the market? Could it be the Dolphins' 0-6 record? Their total lack of effort and execution? The whispers that Bill Cowher's finally ready to get back in the game? It's more prosaic: Tony gets lonely in that big old house. More »

The campaign to see no-hope NFL franchises tank the season to better position themselves to draft Stanford's Andrew Luck is not just for fans anymore. The owners of teams that still have more than half of their seasons to finish are getting in on the act, too. Last week, owner Jim Irsay dropped a not-so-subtle hint by indicating the Colts would be willing to draft Luck if given the chance. And now, a "highly placed club source" has told columnist Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross privately understands the benefits of sucking to get Luck: More »

Brandon Marshall has given us a reason to talk about the Dolphins for something other than how terrible they are, and it's because of what he intends to do during Monday night's game against the Jets. Apparently Marshall hasn't been himself during the season's first four games, at least according to Marshall. And who is Brandon Marshall? Best to let him explain. More »

Tom Brady and the New England offense destroyed fantasy football dreams across the nation last night. They beat the Dolphins 38-24, mostly because Miami had absolutely no idea what to to with the tight end tandem of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski: They combined for 13 catches, 189 yards, and two touchdowns. And then there was Wes Welker. More »

Last year, the Dolphins' star receiver, Brandon Marshall, and quarterback Chad Henne were rarely on the same page. The team didn't play well; Marshall didn't catch touchdowns. Marshall even went as far as to tell a radio interviewer that Tyler Thigpen "gets it" more than Henne does. (In case you were wondering, he was talking about the same Tyler Thigpen who screws skeletons.) More »
