No "live-blogging" for you

One of the things that I most enjoyed last year during mini-camps and training camp were the "live-blogging" reports from the 3 big South Florida newspapers.  In fact, continually refreshing the page during training camp was probably my all time favorite way to slack off at work.

But now, much like the "soup nazi" rejects Elaine and George, the Dolphins will not allow the "live-blogging" of any of their practices, including this weekend's rookie mini-camp.

Sure, it's not really a big deal.  After all, we'll still hear about the practices once they are over and the writers have a chance to write their reports and observations.  But no longer will we all have an additional way to kill time at work.  Now what are we going to do?  Actually work?  I don't think so.

Anyways, that means the first mini-camp session of the 2008 season is currently going on.  And we have no idea what's actually happening, and we won't have any idea until later on when it's actually over.  Oh the humanity!

Oh well.

Thoughts on this new policy by the Dolphins?

**UPDATE** There are some practice highlights now up on the team's official site.

Not happy with it...

kinda pushes the diehard fans away. I’m sure there’s quite a few people that would like to watch the rookies in minicamp, particularly the ones we know very little about. I know I would.

My guess

I’d be Parcells is directly behind this change in policy.

After seeing the Tuna stiff arm the media for several years here in Dallas, I’m not surprised by a move like this at all. He’s just an Ole Timer who doesn’t like people have access to his team or coaches.

Secrecy.

Perhaps Parcells feels they have found some real gems through rookie FA signings. What better way to ensure that no other teams can get a look at them and sign them away before they can be placed on the Dolphin’s practice squad then to not anyone outside of the organization get a good look at them?

i drove by today

went to the pro shop and got a hat….the parking garage on the south east corner used to be accessable but you need parking pass for the gate to open,
i stopped my car only to be told no parking by nova security it was at 2:15
they were just in thier seperate teams doing warm ups and drills. i wish i could say more… the screen on the fence made it hard to pick anybody out, i thought i would have been able to pickout long but ijust couldn’t….. i felt like a stalker lol…...

I can understand it

I bet Belicheat had his people checking out all AFC east rookies just in case he wanted to steal someone off a practice squad due to injuries down the road. Parcells steals players off of practice squads every year as soon as 53 rosters are set. He’s just being carefull. Don’t let anyone get an advantage on us in anyway. Go getem Bill

Hmmmm

Maybe he is worried about someone “spying” on this team…......
