GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Got here extremely early for today's game between the Dolphins and Cardinals and ran into a former league source now working for the Cardinals. Asked him the real chances of his team trading receiver Anquan Boldin this year.
"Zero," he said. "Absolutely zero. I don't know what will happen after the season but I just don't see Anquan going anywhere this year."
So much for the rumors of Boldin coming to the Dolphins. While I wish that could happen for Miami's sake it just isn't in the, pardon the pun, cards. I know Boldin is from Florida. I know his agent Drew Rosenhaus would like to make it happen and continues to press Arizona to trade Boldin.
But the Cards hold all the, pardon the pun again, cards.
They have rebuffed at least one team's inquiry about Boldin and they have refused to give Rosenhaus permission to shop his client.
Understand that doesn't mean Boldin might not be moved in the offseason or some time before his current contract expires in 2010. But he is just as likely to get a new deal in Arizona before then as get traded.
So much for that rumor.
I can report to you that Ernest Wilford will be active today. The Dolphins are making Brandon London inactive to make room for Wilford on the active roster. Ricky Williams is still scheduled to start. Greg Camarillo will start at wide receiver.
Anyway, I hope you guys are ready for today's live blog. It'll start at kickoff. Join me then.







Anyone know who the dolphins have on the inactive list?

Cardinals source is a liar! Next time we ask you a question about trading Boldin, tell the truth. I will never apologize. Never!

Well lets go, kickoff is a couple of hours away, cmon lets see what all you haters and dumbasses can say this week, how long before the calls for Henne comes, sparano sucks, my kettle wont boil quick enough, etc etc. Before the game starts lets just keep the blog for the true fans not for the pathetic wasters and haters that will no doubt be tuning in shortly. As for the real fans, lets go fins and see what this game brings, every chance of a win this weekend. Lets go fins!!!

i dont care about boldin, lets just get the basics down before we think we belong in the playoffs. we need depth and less penalties. start there, the wins will come next.
Posted by: Larry A. | September 14, 2008 at 02:31 PM
Screw that positive reinforcement crap. Dolphins need to win and stop making excuses.
These bums get paid millions of dollars to perform and we pay hundreds of dollars to watch them perform not cry like little b@tch@#.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 02:33 PM
so who's getting the start at rb? Williams or Brown?
Posted by: drchim | September 14, 2008 at 02:36 PM
Brown is starting today.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 02:39 PM
well if you were a dolphanforlife youd want our team to get back to winning all the time instead of just a quick fix for now then crap in a couple years.we need to get back to the dolphins winning ways , not thebucs win now and suck in a couple years.ive been a fan for all my life, 43 years, i want my team back right.
Posted by: Larry A. | September 14, 2008 at 02:48 PM
Armando,
Thanks for the blog and the info...the pissed off folks need to get a life. I've been a fan for 35 years...seen the good, the great, and the terrible times. But still a fan and hope this regime can put in place a winning approach. Love to win some games this year, but really want a championship team and it will take years to get there with the carnage left behind by Wanny and the others...

I am watching the Rams game and Long looks awful. The Rams on the whole look awful. How come coaches from consistenly loosing teams keep getting head coaching jobs in this legue.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 02:52 PM
very true fins, thats what id like to see, a contender every year,well spoken fins.
Posted by: Larry A. | September 14, 2008 at 02:54 PM
I don't care how long you idiots have been fans. I have but in my painful decades as well and I am out of patience with these bumbs. Turn it around now and win now. I heard that same we will be great in three years crap for 12 years, a la Jimmy Johnson. No more excuses. Win or go away.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 02:54 PM
Does anybody know who the dolphins didn't take to Arizona, who is on our inactive list? I wanted to know who is left off the roster this week. Is Wilford?
Posted by: cheftaz | September 14, 2008 at 03:06 PM
WOW, you were right , somebody needs to quit crying like a little, ah, what did you call it. lol
Posted by: Larry A. | September 14, 2008 at 03:06 PM
Come on, give us a W one time!!
Posted by: onetimer | September 14, 2008 at 03:10 PM
Wilford will start according to my last report. They are coming out with a three reciever set to open it up for ronnie.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 03:10 PM
Again, Wilford will be active. Ricky starts as does Camarillo.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 03:13 PM
I am listening to the pregame on WQAM. I know the Fins might be bad this year, but they are making out like the Cardinals are the 07 Pats.
Posted by: Aiden | September 14, 2008 at 03:15 PM
These coaches really suck then. Somebody changed a very good game plan to accomodate cama-come of the bench rillo. Welcome to another long afternoon
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 03:16 PM
Armando, So then who is among the inactives?
Posted by: cheftaz | September 14, 2008 at 03:17 PM
I'm stuck watching the raiders vs chiefs. the chiefs look like the dolphins last season playing their worst game.
the raiders look like the dolphins did last year playing their best game.
what a bunch of sucky football.
Posted by: nick362 | September 14, 2008 at 03:17 PM
Randy MicMichael is a beast for the Rams
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 03:22 PM

Haters
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 03:31 PM
anyone know where to watch the game online?
Posted by: Mo | September 14, 2008 at 03:32 PM
I PREDICT:
1. IF WE GIVE KURT WARNER TIME IN THE POCKET, HE WILL CUT US UP DOWNFIELD.
2. WE WILL STRUGGLE WITH RED ZONE DEFENSE BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT OF THEIR WIDEOUTS, THEY CAN JUST "TOSS IT UP" TO BREASTON,BOLDIN OR FITZGERALD.
3. I WOULD DOUBLE UP ON BOLDIN, LAST WEEK WARNER STARED HIM DOWN AND WENT TO HIM ON ALMOST EVERY OTHER PLAY. WARNER DIDN'T EVEN LOOK FITZGERALD'S WAY MORE THAN 3 TIMES ALL GAME. SO BOLDIN IS HIS "GO-TO-GUY"
4. FRANK GORE WAS ABLE TO RUN ON THE CARDS D, AND ALMOST HAD 100 YARDS, WE SHOULD SEE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT IN OUR RUNNING GAME.
5. THE 49ERS HAD 5 TURNOVERS AND WERE STILL IN THE GAME, SO WE CAN PLAY WITH THIS TEAM FOR SURE. IM SCARED OF THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE WITH THEIR RECIEVERS THOUGH.
6. IT'S ALL ABOUT PUTTING PRESSURE ON WARNER AND MAKING HIM "CHUCK-AND-DUCK" LIKE MARC BULGER DOES WITH PRESSURE IN HIS FACE. OUR FRONT SEVEN WILL BE THE KEY TO WINNING THIS GAME.
GO DOLPHINS! WE CAN STILL MAKE NOISE IN THIS DIVISION
Posted by: chuck | September 14, 2008 at 03:36 PM
we need to root the jags on,bills are now winning.
Posted by: Larry A. | September 14, 2008 at 03:40 PM
Chuck we have a rookie coach a quaterback with a water pistol for an arm and a defense who couldn't defend the pass if their lives depended upon it. QUIT DREAMING AND HOPING AND PUT PRESSURE ON THIS DOLPHIN ORGANIZATION TO STOP HIRING HAS BEENS AND HIGHT PROFILE BLOWHEARTS AND SPEND THE MONEY ON TALENT.
Randy Moss, passed on him twice. Drew Breeze just wasn't good enough for us, we prefer culpepper, Ted Ginn and family just was more appropriate that Brady Quinn. There is something wrong with this franchise period.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 03:48 PM
Buffalo is tough and they are going to win the division.
Posted by: Aiden | September 14, 2008 at 03:52 PM
GO BUFFALO! I hate the 99-2008 dolphins!
