Monday Night Random Thread:Sports Movies Edition
So we all love a good movie and with many of us being sports fans of one ilk or another we also love our sports movies. In fact many sports movies rank among Americas all time favorite movies. Many of them are true stories that inspire us in some way or move us emotionally. Others are nothing short of slapstick comedy but for some reason we still love them no matter how stupid the humor might seem. Others are just drama's wrapped around sports or a sporting event of some sort.
I have one simple question for you tonight. Whats your all time favorite sports themed movie and why?
Oh and don't forget to vote in our poll.
In WRs news, the Eagles are expected to place the franchise tag on DeSean Jackson if they can't work out an extension. That would take arguably the top WR, one many Dolphin fans wanted, off the market.
Randy Moss, now 35, has also stated he wants to return to the NFL in 2012. While one WR goes off the market, one enters it. Though I wouldn't be for signing Moss.
Miami Dolphins News You May Have Missed - 2/13/12
Here are the Miami Dolphins news stories from around the web you may have missed over the last 24 hours:
Dolphins Quarterbacks:
Matt Moore Highlights: 2011 Year In Review « The Finsiders – Miami Dolphins
John Congemi takes a look back at the 2011 season of Matt Moore, as the quarterback took over the starting QB spot from Chad Henne when Henne was injured in early October against the Chargers.
Dolphins Coaching Staff:
A look at the Miami Dolphins coaching staff – Miami Dolphins – Sun-Sentinel
Last season taught us a head coach is only as good as the staff he assembles. Tony Sparano’s Miami Dolphins struggled early, losing the season’s first seven games, and lackluster coaching shoulders most of the blame for the team’s poor start. Coincidentally, Joe Philbin’s staff features eight holdovers from Sparano’s 2011 staff of assistants. But most of what remains are keepers.
Dolphins Offseason:
Report: Miami Dolphins to sign RB Jerome Messam of CFL - Miami Dolphins - MiamiHerald.com
The Dolphins plan to sign Edmonton Eskimos running back Jerome Messam, who last season became the CFL’s first 1,000-yard rusher in 12 years, according to the Edmonton (Alberta) Journal.
Finhead's Mock Draft: Version 6
This is my sixth version of the mock draft and there have been a few changes. The draft order finally has the order set with the exception of four spots being decided by a coin toss. The spots that will depend on a coin toss will be marked by an *. As a note, I will not include trade scenarios in the mock drafts. I know there certainly could be moves made and I'm sure there will be at least one trade in the NFL Draft in April, but I will not include them here. I am simply giving a mock draft based on the current order.
1) Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck, QB: It is looking almost certain the Colts will draft Luck and it looks like Peyton Manning and the Colts are on track to part ways. Taking Luck is the best thing for the franchise, even if it does mean that it'll cause you to lose arguably the best player in team history and one of the best QBs to ever play in the NFL.
2) St. Louis Rams - Justin Blackmon, WR: I have been thinking Matt Kalil would be the most likely candidate until recently. I am thinking the Rams just may consider getting a LT with their second round pick. When it comes to taking Blackmon, the top WR, and a good, but not great LT in the second, I think the Rams will find that option preferable. This could go back to Kalil if the Rams address their WR needs in free agency. Another option for the Rams could be to trade back if one of the teams interested in Robert Griffin III wishes to trade up.

In 1983 Green was again named to the Pro Bowl roster. He intercepted two passes in that season, returning them both for touchdowns.
kmb8488's Dolphins-Oriented Big Board 1.0
It can be tiring work whittling down an entire draft class into a top 20 best-of list, and since the members of this site are primarily interested in the prospects who could be in Miami next season, I've run any and all 2012 NFL Draft entrants through a Dolphins-only filter. The result? Your first Dolphins-only Big Board of the pre-draft season.

Sunday Night Random Thread:How Do You Cope On This First Week With No Football Edition
Well now that we are in the off-season, at least for us fans. As this is the first week with no football on TV since late summer how do you pass the time on your weekends? For many of us it will start warming up outside where we live in a few short weeks (sorry Keith you still have to wait a couple of more months) and we will start to indulge in more of our favorite outdoors activities to pass the time.
Some of us participate in sports ourselves like baseball or soccer. Others just go the whole outdoors-man route be it camping, fishing or hunting of some sort. Some like me and Ohio prefer to take to our bikes (although I also hear that he indulges in a bit of hockey here and there) Others might take in a spring or summer festival of some sort. I am a big fan of the music festivals and only wish I had the time to make some of the better ones around the country. Others do not really change their routine much at all. They just move from watching one sport to another.
How about you? How do you spend your weekends and specifically your Sundays with no football and as it warms up outside?
Miami Dolphins Mining for Canadian Gold Again
The Miami Dolphins are once again scouring the Canadian Football League, looking for players to add to the roster. They appear close to competing a deal with Edmonton Eskimos running back Jerome Messam, adding depth to the running back position.
Messam is the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian Player, given to the best native Canadian each year. Messam rushed for 1,057 yards and six touchdowns this past season in Edmonton, becoming just the third Canadian rusher since 1965 to rush for over 1,000 yards.
According to an Edmonton Journal report, Messam agreed to the deal last night.
