Live blog from Dolphins versus Cards today

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.

Thank you to those who are using this post to actually talk about what's going on in the game and giving those of us who can't watch updates...much appreciated!

things I've learned about being a FINS FAN......

1. NEVER BET ON THEM

2. NEVER GO TO TRAINING CAMP AND WASTE YOUR TIME

3. NEVER EVER SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THEM

4. NEVER GET EXCITED IN THE PRESEASON

this mando's blog.. i did know he was still here.

[cneighbor]

you can't say "super glue a midget"...that's wrong. "super glue" is a trademark

[Account Deleted]

Well if we're going to call the team out lets call Armando out. What does "live blog" stand for if the guy whos running it has only told us about a handful of plays? Fair is fair Mando, everyone has critics! Especially me today,,,sheesh.

[Wii]

The NFL is a good ole boy network. That is why Parcells hires his guys. You are promoted by who you know.

fitzgerald for 30 yards

[donjpaper]

another missed tackle from our secondary

[Armando Salguero]

This is men against boys in the secondary.

[Positive Party]

Hey Houston...go find your roof

fitzgerald for 20 yards

[Pete in otown]

man talk about lack of respect for a team, they are up 21 and passing on every down. haha

ARMANDO, DID YOU GET MY POST ABOUT STUTTERING JOHN????

PLEASE ASK SPARANO, WHAT THE HECK IS GOODMAN AND CROCKER STARTING FOR.......

[Marc]

There's gonna be some happy fantasy football owner's tomorrow...Specifically the one's who own Boldin and Fitzgerald...

[cneighbor]

Mike in Houston...hope all is ok...ike was not a small thunderstorm. if you're on a computer try http://www.praise95.net/

and that was with an offsides and a 12 men on the field penalty

[Wii]

wide open, our secondary sucks

[Lee UK]

i smell another cards touchdown!

[Pete in otown]

wow, porter sucked on that play

[Wii]

Saprano should resign after this game

[Larry A.]

andre goodman is the worst corner in the nfl

OUR SECONDARY CAN'T COVER A FLY! WE REALLY SUCK! I DON'T KNOW HOW WE LOOKED HALFWAY DECENT IN THE PRESEASON...THIS IS VERY SAD.

boldin td

OMG!!!! AHHHH!!!!! BOLDIN IN BETWEEN 3 DOLPHINS!!!

[donjpaper]

thats what said in the 1st quarter, mando have you been watching or reading. WOW

[Armando Salguero]

That time they doubled Boldin with Bell and Lehan and still he caught a TD pass.

[Joe Grimstead]

Can you say cower?

[Miami Vice]

stupano could put 22 men on the field and still not prevent arizona from scoring....you are a bigger idiot than Cammoron!!!!!!!

HE CAUGHT A TD PASS BETWEEN 3 PEOPLE! I SAY WE TRADE TED GINN FOR ANQUAN BOLDIN. ANYONE SECOND THAT?

[donjpaper]

my 5 year old could seperate from our secondary

[Positive Party]

Warner 17 for 21 356 yards 3 tds

[Lee UK]

right, that's it, i've had enough! I'm going to bed

[Master]

I post here everyday that Pennington cannot fire the ball into tight coverage and allow the wr's to make plays.
I call it Playing QB Like A Man.
Warner is showing Pennington how to play qb like a man.

[Looking for #13]

Absolutely the worst TEAM EVER.............They couldn't stop a special olympics team!!!

[Wii]

ARMANDO,

YOU MUST RIP THIS COACHING STAFF A NEW ONE FOR TOMORROW MORNING PAPER. WE NEVER LOOKED AS LOST WITH COACH CAM AS WE DO WITH SAPARNO.

[cneighbor]

dude we couldn't trade ginn for a super glued midget at this point

[William in Ks]

Hey when did we scored, I see we got 3 points, better than losing by 0.....go finnnnnns

[donjpaper]

chambers has 2 td catches for the chargers today. AAARGH!!!

[Larry A.]

we have absolutely no secondary, maybe we need ole wanny to come back as defensive coordinator

[Ty]

Our defensive back field is f***ing disguisting. Isnt Ty Law still a free agent, and John Lynch too?? who cares if they are old, we really cant get any worse than we are right now back there. those people in the front office better have a big ass secret bruing otherwise they are gonna get booed out of the franchise!!!

[Marc]

I know if I was the coach I wouldn't hold a press conference after this game...

I SAY THEY'RE STICKING LEINART IN IN THE 4TH QTR. SOMEONE SHOULD WAKE SPARANO UP AND TELL HIM HE REALLY SUCKS!

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY OFF THE FINS PERSONALLY?????

PLEASE TELL HIM HE SUX............

Do these guys on defense have anything between their legs? WTF

72' Dolphins had the "No-Name Defense"
08 Dolphins have the "Doormat Defense"

[gerasco]

What time does the Dolphin game start? Oh wait....

[donjpaper]

there must a high team somewhere in miami that could play for the fish next week.

[The Boz]

Positive Party. I party when we are winning. You are in the head in the sand club, which refuses to believe their eyes. Why shouldn't we give the new regime a hard time ??? Have you seen the way they axe the players ? I believe that morale in the Dolphins is rock bottom as the other players see so many of their team-mates fired before any chemistry has been given time.

[Wii]

I agree, bring in Ty Law and Lynch. At least they can cover better then these monkeys.

[Same crap Dif Season]

CAn anyone disagree? EMBBBAAARRASSING!!!
12 men on the field and they still completed a pass! Touchdown pass with a defender infront stumbling down. Every week same ol same ol!!!!!

[Joel]

Why don't I see Ginn on the field at all?

[Pete in otown]

well no reason to keep Pennington in there now, just let Henne get some reps.

[Brett]

I really think alot of the mistakes are to blame on the coaching staff. They have not prepared the team properly. We never played this pathetically last year. This is really a reflection upon the coaching staff. This strict regiment they are running doesn't appear to be working.

[donjpaper]

at least lynch would hit somebody!!!

[Miami Vice]

update on ted ginn...arizona police found him at HOOTERS having beers with john daly watching the NE/NJ game!!!!!!!!

[Armando Salguero]

What can you say about this. My gosh.

[cneighbor]

mad dog calling for henne...let the games begin!!!

[Joel]

Are they saving Ginn for a punt return? I don't think he's gonna get one today.

[Ando]

They would never take Ginn for Boldin...BUT MAYBE IF WE ADD THE GINN FAMILY they'll take the deal...

[donjpaper]

the nfl should have a mercy rule!!!

our secondary is the worst in the nfl. there is no hope. we dont intercept any passes or knock them down. EVERYONE is open on every cards pass attempt. we may be 1-15 again this year
