PrintThe Sun-Sentinel finally revealed the winners of the "Best of Blogs" Awards on Wednesday night. The idea behind these awards - other than to generate traffic for the paper's web site - was to identify the best blogs in South Florida through voting on their site.
The Phinsider won the award for best sports blog in South Florida! So congratulations to all of us in this community for bringing home the award. While it was obviously a popularity contest more than anything, it's always nice to be recognized. There were some other very worthy sports blogs up for the award. So it's an honor to win this thing.
Unfortunately, we did not win the "best overall blog" category. We were in it until the end but ended up in the top three. The winner was Photography is Not a Crime. His blog personally isn't my cup of tea. After all, the whole idea of his site was to highlight his court battle when he was arrested for taking photos of police offers just for the hell of it. The cops, obviously, were not very happy. From there, his blog morphed into some first amendment blog defending photographers across the world.
For the record, the blogger obviously didn't learn his lesson the first time. He got arrested a second time for the same thing - taking photos of the police against their wishes. Can you get more self-righteous than that?
[On a personal note, if some dude was taking pictures of me for no apparent reason, I'd be pissed, too. And if I asked the guy to stop and he continued, you better believe there would be issues. Who the hell wants strangers taking pictures of them? Me thinks this guy has too much time on his hands.]
The blogger also asks for donations on his page to fund his legal defense - which is rather ridiculous if you ask me. But I won't get into that. His arrogance and self-righteousness is evident all over his site - especially in this post where he mocks our community and our team a little bit more.
But the joke is on him. As you can see below based on these stats provided by an impartial web traffic site, we have more readers here in one week than he does in a year (and that's a modest estimate, too). And I'll take our very active and wide-reaching community over his 12 comments per day (and that's on the high side) any day of the week.
And now that this voting is out of the way, we can get down to real business. Free agency begins in just over 24 hours! Hell yeah!

Grats Matty
Nice job everyone.
We’ll get the overall next year.

"Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak." Thomas Carlyle
"The Icon"
At least people will know that this IS the best sports related blog along with the top Dolphins blog.
"If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you."
Coach Paul Bear Bryant
I can't believe we fell to 3rd....
I’m happy to win the Sports category….but, am disappointed still…..
Congrats Matty, you’ve got a great medium here, and as you already know, we are all very grateful to you for giving us the opportunity to reach out to this great community.
If this post contains no substance, just assume that my answer is Brandon Marshall. Pay the 1st and 3rd, get the proven guy, and don't worry about that position for the next decade.
and I'm grateful to all of you who take the time out of your day to share your thoughts on our Fins
the people who make up this community are just awesome
seriously..
who reads a photography blog?

Grats all and Matty!!!!
Although we did not win over all, I do believe this is the best blog around. I commend everyone who participates on a job well done. Congrats again on the best sports blog that is still awesome. Ohh and Matty are ya gonna go get the free meal or was that tonight as well?? Hehe, I would it sounded delicious.
Oh well
I really thought I was being helpful creating 12 fake emails and writing comments to the guy every day. All that work for nothing! Double damn!
Congrats to Matty and gang !!!
This is by far the best blog on the internet.. I for one haven’t been so well informed on the Dolphins then when i started reading The Phinsider . So again thanks for all the great info and banter !! Keep up the great work !!
That arrogant SOB Carlos Miller had more to say about us....
Referring to us as “the idiots at The Phinsider.”
Something tells me I’m not the idiot, though. After all, I wasn’t the one arrested TWICE for taking photos of police officers for no good reason at all other than trying to prove a point – resulting in having to spends tons of money on my defense. No – I’m not the idiot.
But I’m also done with this. This post is the last I’ll mention that douche. I have more important things to do than to have a pissing contest with some self-righteous tool.
... the tool at PINAC... "Local Photographer Carlos Miller Found Guilty"
If anyone ever see this guy…
… please piss on his shoes.

Excuse me Matty...
but it really offends me that you call this guy a “tool”, and I would appreciate it if you would refrain from using this term to describe him.
Tools are useful…. and I can see absolutely no use for this clown. ;-)

just wanna say
that first amendment rights are more important that a sports team. carlos is providing a valuable service for everyone, even if you don’t understand what he’s doing or why.
I guarantee that he is providing no service to me.
There is a freedom of the press. There is also a need for police to control a crime scene.
Also in the Constitution is the sixth amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence
How do you get an impartial jury when film of a crime scene (possibly including evidence) is plastered all over the place? Can’t happen. In trying to find that jury, you throw the “speedy” part right out.
The guy is a self-righteous twit that got busted once and decided to make a big deal out of it. No more no less.

But the idiots at The Phinsider still think the joke is on me.
They can laugh all they want, but they are the ones who fizzled out in the final round of this contest. Just like the Miami Dolphins do in their regular seasons.

That was a lot of work to comment
Hey, nothing wrong with being a fan of your local sports team. I’m a huge Cleveland Browns fan, and I don’t expect any sympathy for it. But dissing Carlos Miller’s blog is just stupid to the highest degree. I can only guess when one of your fans posts about how security at a Dolphins game harassed them for taking a picture you’ll tell them to go get screwed.
by John-David Filing on Mar 4, 2010 6:33 PM EST reply actions
Are other people allowed to take pictures there?
Is there a sign prohibiting picture taking (there is in many museums, castles, as well as concerts and movie theaters)?
Am I blocking someone’s view that purchased a ticket to the game to take my picture?
Am I being a nuisance and prohibiting people from enjoying the game?
In short, why are you they stopping you from taking pictures?
I don’t take pictures of things to be a nuisance. When the first amendment was penned, there was no photograghy. Use your words.
