No surprise: Ferguson done for year

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano just confirmed what everyone pretty much knew: Nose tackle Jason Ferguson is done for the remainder of the year.

The surprising thing is that the injury that ends Ferguson's season is not a knee issue, but rather a torn quadricep. Published reports had him out with a knee injury.

Sparano said the considerable void left by Ferguson's absence will be filled by Paul Soliai, Tony McDaniel and Randy Starks.

The question that will hover around Ferguson now is whether this season-ending injury writes the final chapter in the 13-year veteran's career. Ferguson is 35 years old on Saturday and in the final year of his contract.

He'll be knee deep in doo-doo..

[tim stim]

They should sign the kid that plays Mike Oher in the Blindside

[Mark in Toronto]

You guys may laugh but do you know that the average Cuban is better educated than the average American? Education is free and accessible to all Cubans. The only shame is that there is no way to have that education translate to financial success because of the political system.

Was it just me or did anyone else see the right guard for Carolina,#68, purposefully punch the side of J.Ferguson's knee as he was going down to the ground?? Watch the replay they showed during the game, slow it down and you'll see the scum-bag swing a punch sideways on the knee. Has that been reported by anyone?

[cuban menace]

Thank you Mark... But dont waste your time with nj phin fan, never made it past 9th grade, but he did OK for himself, you know being in the plumbing business those guys make major bank.. hey nj, how much a year you make 150 thou?????

[bobbyd12]

Ok Mark in Toronto, nice fairy tale..I work with a couple Cunan Doctors, I'm a Law Enforcement Officer in Miami..there may be "Free" educaion in Cuba but that doesn't equal "Superior" education compared to America...A Doctorate or Masters in Cuba is close to worthless here..and that's the Cuban Governments fault, not the people, before I get a bunch of blogs saying I hate the cubans

[Flipper]

Paper Dolphins...If we were to lose Ricky or Solai for the season, it would be over.

[nj phin fan]

F U Cuban

[ALoco]

it's not easy to a plumber w/integrity like nj phin,he spend all his life trying hard to help old people and never cheat them or over charching them then let them come to his gym w/15 discount .

[cuban menace]

I was educated in Miami, not Cuba...

[NJ PHIN FAN]

Mark , who ever said the menace was your average CUBAN. It's insulting to all the good cuban friends i have and to all good cubans. A FELLOW SCHOLAR ? That's also insulting to Scholars Too. This is idiot who just mentioned MEGATRON , GORT and DOO-DOO in his last 2 posts. SCHOLAR ? bwahahahahahahahahaha ! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah . MY GOD !

[ALoco]

mark,
do you know how much time school kids spend watching between hana montana and american idol ?

in florida about 78 percent of their nights and that's where the F grade comes in .

[NJ PHIN FAN]

an

[cuban menace]

nj, great to see your usual insulting and boorish posts, now go get your plunger, my toilets clogged..

[Mark in Toronto]

Man, you guys are a riot.

And bobbyd12, the only reason a Cuban Dr. education is not valued here (or in Canada) is because the local infrastructures choose to for self preservation.

I've been to Cuba. They are very enlightened people - unfortunately just trapped.

[ALoco]

all the good people all want to know once for ALL THIS;

IS NJ PHIN A PLUMBER OR A BARBER ?

[cuban menace]

Aloco,LMAO..............

[harricane]

i have a cuban friend that is a super hottie...does that make me a racist? mando is from a cuban family. leave the country of origin out of here.

[bobbyd12]

Ok Mark, ur life is on the line, ur dying, who do u want working on I, a Cuban doctor or an American doctor??? Simple question.. I know I'm picking the doctor who has been taught in Medical schools with the most modern equipment and up to date technology available, so be honest...a Cuban doctor hasn't had the experience or equipment to be on the same level as Doctors over here!!!

[12 the hard way]

He's a Cuban doctor.

[ALoco]

NATHANIEL, IF YOU R AROUND PLEASE TELL PEOPLE WHEN TO USE THE WORD EDUCATED AND WHEN NOT .
CAN YOU I WAS EDUCATED UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL ?
CAN I SAY I WAS EDUCATED IN PLUMBING ?

PS....NOW I HAVE TO GO SINCE MY MEATBALL SUB IS READY .

[harricane]

bobby,

come on man. i know a cuban trained physician. she is as good as they come. more than welcome here to me. just as all foriegn trained physicians, they have to do an additional internship in the US before the Medical Degree will transfer. no biggie.

she pretty easy on the eyes as well- :-)

[Mark in Toronto]

ok, I was talking about the average citizen - not the comparison of doctors.

[harricane]

"she is pretty easy on the eyes"

[cuban menace]

Where did Mr. Ferguson get his education(sorry aloco)

[harricane]

cuban...at a University..... :-)

[ALoco]

BOBBY12.
IF YOU MUST PICK A DOCTOR TO SAVE YOU FROM DYING ,WHO WOULD YOU CHOSSE ;

1-DOCTOR FROM HAITI
2-DOCTOR FROM SOMALIA
3-DOCTOR FROM PANAMA

[bobbyd12]

Harricane, I again will state I work with 2 Cuban doctors, there cops, just like me because there degrees are worthless...they tell me how hard it would be to become Doctors over here because of all the additional training and schooling they would have to do...so they are lying??? I highly doubt it, so it's a lot harder then u make it sound, obviously it's a biggie

[Rickm]

Dr j-LOL

[bobbyd12]

Alcoco, I'd rather die

[ALoco]

HARRICANE SOUNDS LIKE HE'S A FARMER TRYING TO FIT IN TALKING UNIVERSITY .LOL

[ALoco]

I NOTICE ALL FEMALE DOCTORS ARE KNOCK OUT AND PLUMBERS ALL UGLY .

[scalzo]

Let's end the Pat White experiment already please. No way is he beating out Henne. Trade him or convert him to a WR. I also think he a bit too small to play QB in the NFL. Need to use the FA and draft wisely next season and get a solid NT, WR, LB, and a pass catching TE.

[cuban menace]

I had a hot Female doctor give a me a prostate examination once...Talk about awkward..

[ALoco]

BOBBY12,

PICTURE THESE TREE DOCTORS TALKING STANDING ABOVE YOU IN COMA TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT'S YOUR REAL NAME ?

[ALoco]

WHAT ABOUT MEN WHO R WORK AS A NURSE CUBAN ?
THEY ALWAYS FRIENDLY .

[harricane]

aloco,

i'll put my degrees agains yours any day.

bobby, my business partner is a foriegn trained physician. all he and his wife, a physician as well, had to do is an additional internship.

they should look into doing that. alot of grant money given to teaching hospitals to do just that. They should talk to Jackson Memorial.

cuban, are u for real? did she do a hernia exam as well?

[bobbyd12]

Aloco...lol I would NEVER put myself in the position where I would be in Haiti, Somalia or Panama...I'm very happy right here in the good old USA..the only thing that would make me happier is if I could transfer to Colorado and away from this rat race...

[cuban menace]

And a prostate exam...

[ALoco]

HERRICANE,
YOU PARTNER SOUND LIKE DOCTORS FROM ROMANIA AND YOU ONLY THE LANLORD .

[scott from delaware]

dolphins will sign ronnie brown to a contract and as far as nt we are up the s#ht crik. No but we need to probably switch to a 4-3 because we lack a true nose tackle but starks and solia inside aren't that bad of an option and lets face it our 2 inside linebackers are not that good its true. Or you could but merling inside he is big enough they will fiqure it out . Put an extra lineman on the field and take out akin whats his name never makes a play. Jason could play de again just saying

[harricane]

aloco,

wait a second here brother. my brother in law is romanian and a very cool dude. my adopted sister is half romanian so don't bring race into the blog.

[harricane]

cuban,

my doc an old guy, wanted to do a "exam". i told him no. he said it does not hurt. i said no, i told him, i know it won't hurt you, lol

[cuban menace]

harricane, Romanian or Romulan??, BIG DEFFERANCE.. LOL...

[harricane]

romanian...he is not a noodle. that guy can bench over 400 pounds. so no not a 10 cent pack of noodles

[harricane]

or do mean some star trek guy...no he is not a freak. lol

[cuban menace]

All Eastern Europeans are huge weight-lifters...the men are too...lol
