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.







DID I MENTION BOLDIN WAS HIS GO-TO-GUY??!!!

Armando why would you put the same idiots in at secondary who lost the game last week. Crocker and Goodman have to go

i see another long frustrating season in our future. My guess is Parcells quits by November
Posted by: Pete in otown | September 14, 2008 at 04:24 PM
Sorry. 69 yards on the TD.

dolphanforlife...you no longer deserve or act as your sign-on name...you are hereby forced to change it or quit crying
Posted by: Mike in Houston | September 14, 2008 at 04:25 PM
Armando, why am I sitting in my house typing to you when I am so obviously smarter than Bill Parcells and should be running the team?
Posted by: Dolphan4life | September 14, 2008 at 04:25 PM
anybody has a jets jersey I can buy
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 04:25 PM
I haven't seen a replay yet but I thought I saw a safety blitzing on the play and nobody covered Boldin.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 04:25 PM
hard to tell who got smoked on that play.
Posted by: EMC | September 14, 2008 at 04:25 PM
this regime doesn't deserve my loyalty
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 04:26 PM
Ricky and Ronnie in the game at the same time.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Akin on Boldin?!? WTF!
Posted by: C. Little | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Pete, Parcells has stated many times that this will take some time to get straight after years of bad drafting and decisions. Why have you quit on him after one game?
Posted by: Reality | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
hey stupano....WTF with your "must-win" game????????
Posted by: Miami Vice | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Feeley missed a fg for the Jets
Posted by: Aiden | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Don't worry...It'll be in the highlights for a long time
Posted by: Marc | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Longest catch of his career. Sparano, "I feel good about the people we have back there in our secondary, they can do a lot of jobs....", yeah Tony like Postman, Burger flipper, shoe salesman or garbage collection. Sort it out you fool !!
Posted by: The Boz | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Sad but true== a first down will be a moral victory.
Posted by: C. Little | September 14, 2008 at 04:27 PM
the coaches got smoked on the play

Posted by: | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
someone explain to me why the hell this regime is so, excuse the expression, "high" on Ricky Williams?
Posted by: Pete in otown | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
we look worse than last year.
Posted by: EMC | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
Hell...positive yardage would be a victory.
Posted by: C. Little | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
Why do we even make the trips.
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
PLEASE PUT RONNIE IN DA GAME
Posted by: Lo | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
I have faith in the arm of Pennington
Posted by: | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
why would you risk so much so early
Posted by: donjpaper | September 14, 2008 at 04:28 PM
this is unwatchable
Posted by: | September 14, 2008 at 04:29 PM
Dolphins V Arizona according to Isreal Guiterez (or similar spelling) could have it's problems for the Fins because, WE, the FEE paying Fans have put them down.
Not so long ago ALL journalists gave them no chance.
Thanks very much for your support of us Isreal. We may all think it's tough with a new team but at least we tune in every week to our team and not FLIP FLOP from Marlins to Dolhins to Tampa or whoever else has a good game.
Come on folks we need this team to get the support the club deserves for all the joy it has brought us. Some clubs have no Rings and Never moan. Yes our Deep coverage is crap I won't agrue, in fact it's F**king really crap. Time wo stop talking up the Allen brothers!!!!!!!!
Posted by: James/Ireland | September 14, 2008 at 04:29 PM
RONNIE SHOULD BE IN ON EVERY DOWN!!!!!!!
Posted by: Pete in otown | September 14, 2008 at 04:29 PM
The Dolphins were put on this earth for people to laugh at...
Posted by: Aiden | September 14, 2008 at 04:29 PM
At least Cam's teams SCORED the first half of last season prior to blowing up the team. Everyone wanted Parcell's, well here you go.
Posted by: Rick | September 14, 2008 at 04:29 PM
Screen to Brown. I noticed that Ginn was not in with three WR but I'm wondering if that is for blocking purposes on the screen or because he's losing snaps in the 3 receiver set.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 04:29 PM
Hey Sparano if you didn't say this was a must win we would be up 21 points already.
Posted by: Miamivice | September 14, 2008 at 04:30 PM
So who do you think we should pick at #1 this year?
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 04:31 PM
This coaching staff sucks monkey balls.

At least our special teams coverage looks good.
Posted by: Rick | September 14, 2008 at 04:32 PM
Once again, if Sparano should have learned ANYTHING from Cam, it's run RONNIE BROWN...Early and often...Ricky can go fumble his way home for all I care...
Posted by: Marc | September 14, 2008 at 04:32 PM
any other online feeds? that justintv is not working...
Posted by: | September 14, 2008 at 04:32 PM
Put HENNE In
Posted by: | September 14, 2008 at 04:32 PM
Good punt by Fields. 55 yards.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 04:32 PM
Our playcalling kills me
Posted by: Pete in otown | September 14, 2008 at 04:32 PM
I know they all told us this was going to take a few years to get built but I am going to hold them to a higher standard. I want them to be great now and will not wait without whining and acting like I am smarter than Bill Parcells.
Posted by: STUPIDDOLPHINSFAN | September 14, 2008 at 04:33 PM
The lines are hitting at least...
Posted by: Marc | September 14, 2008 at 04:33 PM
Warner connects with TE Ben Patrick. third and short.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Lets put Henne in so we can ruin his career. That way we can blame the coach again.
Posted by: Moronicdolphinsfan | September 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Wow arizona has real coaches who know what to do on third and short
Posted by: DolphanforLife | September 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Last season our offense was scoring points early and it was or D that sucked. Then we lost Green, Brown, and Chambers. that's when are offense sucked balls. Now it looks like both our O and D both are in trouble.
Posted by: Rick | September 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Ohhh boy, I know my fins are rebuilding, and its only wishful thinking that they will go 8/8, but it really takes a lot of will power to sit and watch a game...
Posted by: William in Ks | September 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Unfortunately, we're going to see a lot of bad before the good surfaces....so hard as it is, we need to be patient. Unfortunately, I'm not a patient person but I still love the fins! Will always be a fins fan no matter how bad it gets and it's baaaadddd!!!
I know it's hard to believe but one day we'll be a good team again.
Posted by: teezeepan | September 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Hey Mando, can you send some weed down to Ricky so he can get suspended? Got to get him out of the game somehow. Ronnie is our future and by far the most talented rb on our team.
Posted by: Pete in otown | September 14, 2008 at 04:35 PM
I think the Dolphins can win or at least force a stalemate at the line of scrimmage. The problem comes when the Cards pass.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 14, 2008 at 04:35 PM
NE defence is old. Buf game could be big for us if by some miracle we could get some confidence and they place RONNIE on every down and let him THROW and KICK. Fields is a good punter so we are ok there:)
Posted by: James/Ireland | September 14, 2008 at 04:35 PM
So do you think they should wait until the third period to play Ronnie?
Posted by: Dolphan4life | September 14, 2008 at 04:35 PM
this is too funny.
