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.
Gilbril the friggin man niw

Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
OK, Bess really needs to stop fielding punts...He ran 15 yards...Sideways
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Bess looks hurt guys, I hope it's not serious. He was grimacing.
Posted by: FB | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Ya, if we take care of business the rest of the season, the Jets can't touch us - and if we don't take care of business, we can't catch the pats.. so forget the jets.. and let's just take it to the Jags!
Posted by: LipsinToronto | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Jags D Is Gonna be haten life soon!
Posted by: Po White Trash | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Well, defense did its job...see if we can score yet again.
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Mando who missed curfew? I missed that info
Posted by: H8dpats | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Damn. wish bess was a tad faster.
Posted by: shaggy | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Fins look sharp today. Henne sure knows how to lead that offense.
Posted by: pj | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Hey Armando...Can you find out why this game is not shown in Central Florida ? Makes NO SENSE
Posted by: Dfan54 | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Because we beat the jets TWICE, that's Why
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 01:32 PM
Anyone have a link for the game?
Posted by: Phinatic78 | December 13, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Hey Mando, how long do you think the Jags will be in Jacksonville? The stadium is empty and they actually have a shot at the playoffs and the team is not horrible. Do you think the slow start hurt them?
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 01:33 PM
I hope they do give Polite a few TDs on those X and goal from the 1.
The guy keeps our drives alive and deserves some sweet TD stats from time to time.
Posted by: LipsinToronto | December 13, 2009 at 01:33 PM
carolina just scored on patsies. wooooo hoooo go fins
Posted by: finfan23 | December 13, 2009 at 01:34 PM

Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Im never clear why punt returner dont cut up field...rarely see one break it by going across the field...
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 01:34 PM
What Bess lacks in speed he makes up for with Routes and hands.
Hope he is Okay
Posted by: Po White Trash | December 13, 2009 at 01:34 PM

Carolina 7 Pats 0
Touchdown Steve Smith
Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 13, 2009 at 01:34 PM
I know we swept the Jets, but, if I'm not mistaken they have a better conference record...
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Brady Just threw an Int. The panthers converted on it by scoring a 50 yd TD to Steve Smith. we're looking good right now for 1st place guys. Yesssss

THE SECOND QUARTER POST IS UP. PLEASE GO THERE NOW.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 01:35 PM
I think head to head is the first tie breaker..
Posted by: LipsinToronto | December 13, 2009 at 01:35 PM
Marc, first tie breaker is head to head...
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 01:36 PM
Bess out right now. Thats why you dont have your best WR whos not even that good at punt returning, returning punts...
Posted by: Chase | December 13, 2009 at 01:36 PM
Tie breaker is div record , head to head and lastly conference record. jets still have to play cinn and Indy. forget the jets,
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 01:36 PM
Hopefully bess can come back, or hartline and camarillo step up, not counting on ginn for anything.
Posted by: shaggy | December 13, 2009 at 01:37 PM
tie breakers are head to head, then div, then conf, then it gets weird.
Posted by: shaggy | December 13, 2009 at 01:38 PM
nj, you have it wrong by one.
Posted by: shaggy | December 13, 2009 at 01:38 PM
Basically since we split with NE, its now div then conf.
Posted by: shaggy | December 13, 2009 at 01:40 PM
