JACKSONVILLE -- Walked out of my hotel this morning and it felt like swampy weather -- humid, no wind, warm.
Football weather in December!
The Dolphins play the Jags today. That means live blog right here at kickoff.
That also means I will be giving you the update on players in and players out of today's game in about 30 minutes. Check back for the update.
[Update: Neither CB Rashean Mathis nor DT John Henderson are active for Jacksonville today. WR Mike Sim-Waker is active. For Miami, Nate Garner is starting for Donald Thomas at right guard while Justin Smiley starts at left guard. Miami's inactives are Kory Sheets, Erik Walden, Andrew Gardner, Jake Grove, Lionel Dotson, Ikaika Alama-Francis, Patrick Turner and Tyler Thigpen is the third QB.]
Meanwhile, check out my Sunday column in The Miami Herald. In it, Tony Sparano explains how he gets a pulse for what kind of performance he'll get from his team every week. It's not an easy task, as you know, because the Dolphins have been up and down this year.
Hence the 6-6 record.
Anyway, the Fins are on the field. I saw a ton of Dolphins jerseys around the stadium when I was coming in. I expect a strong Dolfans showing.
Any links to stream the game?

this has been one tuff year. I think we only lost 2 games and gave away 4 but sh*t happens. i think with all the changes from injuries that it has taken awhile for the secondary to gell but it seems as though the are getting it together

Fins will win in a blowout.
Pat White will be part of a TD score.
Hilliard scores his first TD.

EVeryone, please provide as much reaction and commentary as possible today so the folks in 95 percent of the country that can't get this game get a better picture.
I appreciate it.

Posted by: test | December 13, 2009 at 01:03 PM
Ginn jacked up on kickoff. Now you know why he always heads to the sideline.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:03 PM
Ouch is right!

Camarillo falls down on his cut and still makes nice catch.

Posted by: FB | December 13, 2009 at 01:04 PM
Stadium looks empty
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 01:04 PM
with John Henderson absent, Dolphins can run inside all day loooong.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:05 PM

Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:05 PM
Ginn falls on his cut. Swampy conditions on the field.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:06 PM
Dolphins had that screen nicely set up. Seemed it should have gained more than 5 yards.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:07 PM
i think henne had a guy open underneath on that....
Posted by: test | December 13, 2009 at 01:07 PM
WTF!
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 01:07 PM
My effing sob Ap never updates!!!!!!
Posted by: Robbyhenz | December 13, 2009 at 01:07 PM
nice pass, tough catch
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 01:07 PM
Sinmply the Bess huh?
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 01:07 PM
Bess open on third down, but henne's pass was not a good one. Tried back shoulder and it wasn't there.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:08 PM
Henne's putting too much on the ball. He's gotta learn how to put some touch on it. It's crazy.
Posted by: FB | December 13, 2009 at 01:08 PM
Bess should have caught that.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 13, 2009 at 01:08 PM
a real receiver would have caught that
Posted by: test | December 13, 2009 at 01:09 PM
If it hits you in the hands you need to catch it right?
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 01:09 PM
wow marc , you got to be f'n kidding me right ?
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 01:09 PM
IPhone doesn't refresh. Waddup?
Posted by: PatricMartin | December 13, 2009 at 01:09 PM
whoa whoa...that was in Bess's hands. He should have caught that. Seemed like he was worrying about his feet
Posted by: drsamii | December 13, 2009 at 01:09 PM
That was a little high.
Posted by: Po White Trash | December 13, 2009 at 01:09 PM
If you wanna be "the guy" on 3rd down, you make that catch, period
