The Dolphins regular-season home finale, the last home game of the season until the home playoff game in January, begins this afternoon at 1 p.m.
The Dolphins are hoping Frisco running back Frank Gore is not playing today. I am told the likelihood of Gore playing is not very good.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, won't be as lucky with SF cornerback Nate Clements. He's playing despite a hand injury that forced him to miss last week's game versus the Jets. Clements, the former Buffalo CB, has eight zillion interceptions against the Dolphins.
We shall see how that works out. The live blog will begin at kickoff in the comments section at kickoff. Join me then. And come strong because I am seriously excited about this game.







untill the home playoff game in january?? i like tour optimism

Mando
Just looked into my crystal ball, interesting outlook
Miami 45
SF 6
Miami 31
KC 0
Miami at the Jests, score is tied in the final 7 seconds of over time 0-0. Miami has the ball on their own 4. 4th and 11. Pennington drops back into his own end zone, Ginn comes across the midde on a skinny post, Pennington lays it on the numbers for the catch turns up field and encounters middle LB Calvin Pace who he executes a smooth spin move get out of the tackle heads down feel when he see SS E. Smith coming at him on the angle, Ginn stiff arms Smith to the ground and Fast Teddy's blazing speed takes him in the clear to the 40, the 50, the 40, the 30, the 20 the 10...TOUCHDOWN Miami wins the AFC East Division as time expires 6-0....Now the Play Off Picture....

Posted by: Joel | December 14, 2008 at 01:10 PM
If Pennington completes three more passes in a row, he would tie the team record for most consecutive completions.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 14, 2008 at 01:11 PM
Two more.
