One of the topics this morning on my radio show, Armando and the Amigo, was how funny it is when Dolphins fans can stand by and watch New England Patriots on New York Jets violence and vice versa. We saw that Monday when Tom Brady told the hosts on WEEI in Boston, in part, "I hate the Jets."
The context was whether or not Brady watches Hard Knocks. Brady apparently does not because he doesn't want to support any show the Jets are on. Well, soft-spoken Jets coach Rex Ryan came with a retort (shockingly).
"Hell, he knows we hate the Patriots, so what's the difference," Ryan shot back.
Lovely ain't it?
Anyway, while the two camps have each other in the cross-hairs, Brady took time during his interview to show love to the Dolphins. No, seriously.
And he went out of his way to do it.
Brady was asked about New England's offense coming with new wrinkles and doing different, elaborate things. Brady said all that is overplayed. He said doing a couple of things very well can be almost as effective if the personnel is good and right.
"I've said before the best defense I've ever played against was the Miami Dolphins about 8, 9, 10 years ago, and they played pretty much the same defense the whole game," Brady said. "And it didn't matter what you did, they rushed the passer, they covered you, they covered you short, they covered you deep.
"They had one or two change-ups that really complimented what they were doing. I had my worst games against the Dolphins. Our passing game against them was terrible, and we knew going into the game exactly what they play, and that to me is the mark of a really good team is when they do kind of say what you're going to do but you do it so well that they really are not able to stop you anyway."
Much respect for Tom Brady.
[Blog note: Come back in a while and I'll post the practice update right here.]
[The early update: Just got back from the practice field where the media was allowed to watch 30 minutes of work. Ray Feinga, Channing Crowder and Quentin Moses are still not practicing. Everyone else was accounted for. No lineup changes that I could see. Check back for the post-practice update.].

Darryl,
I'm a little old school for online dating, but.............
Seriously, if I did go into the metrodome with my Henne jersey I would like to go at least two or three deep.
I've been thrown out of Joe Louis Arena for fighting at RedWings games.
Another time I was wearing my Marino Jersey at the SilverDome. A Lions fan started up with me and I kicked the guy down the stairs. It was on TV and of course I got arrested.
Anyways, if you're serious maybe you, BeerDrums and I could meet there?

Hey, what happened to the Feud between the Armundo and Joe Rosey?
Posted by: Lebron's Headband | August 24, 2010 at 02:06 PM
Headband, Yeah I just checked it out, Apparently there's a person that aspires to be like the Menace..LOL, It's probably a 56 year old virgin that shaves his legs and lives with his mother in New Jersey and owns a Shitzu dog by the name of "Muffin".... Shameful and sad at the same time...
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 24, 2010 at 02:16 PM
Headband, What game will you be attending Representing the Mighty Air Breathers?????
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 24, 2010 at 02:24 PM
The early update:. ........Channing Crowder and Quentin Moses are still not practicing. Everyone else was accounted for. No lineup changes that I could see..................
I wonder if this will affect Crowder's status as a starter?
Oh wait, what am I thinking, Dobbins is the starter at ILB..................
I guess it just doesn't pay to be Joey Porter's "sidekick" when he's ragging on his own team.
Posted by: odinseye | August 24, 2010 at 02:27 PM
Agree Odin, I think Channing lit a match that he should'nt have with the interview with Joey(IQ of a pineapple)Porter... Never go against the family....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 24, 2010 at 02:34 PM
Dolphins defense back in the day:
Trace Armstrong
Jason Taylor
Daryl Gardener
Tim Bowens
Zach Thomas
Patrick Surtain
Sam Madison
Brock Marion
Hells yes, that was one bad defense. If only Wannstedt had any smarts to assemble an offense even only as good as the one we have today to compliment it, the Super Bowl draught would have been over.
Posted by: Mark in Toronto | August 24, 2010 at 02:45 PM
Cuban,
I would have given anything to see Parcell"a face and hear his comments as he listened to that interview.
It made me suspicious of Crowder's intelligence level-WTF!
Posted by: odinseye | August 24, 2010 at 02:48 PM
Mark In Toronto, You'll be representing the fins in week 1 in Buff. Correct????????

Cuban,
I'll be at the game in Buffalo week one too. I'm hoping we don't underestimate the Bills too much. It was at the game last year and we had them until Ayodele, Crowder and Porter let Fitzpatrick take off on a long touchdown run. No let up this year boys!!
Posted by: Craig M | August 24, 2010 at 03:04 PM
No big surprise hat Ayodele was let go by the Broncos this early in camp. some will else will sign him for depth purposes. No way this guy is an NFL starter any more.
Posted by: Craig M | August 24, 2010 at 03:06 PM
Cuban,
I find it amazing that you're able to post simultaneously on a zillion different blogs under a zillion different aliases.
What's more amazing is that we have an Inspector Closeau that actually "monitors" a zillion different blogs and sounds the alarm every time he uncovers another one of your diabolical plots.
I used to think the word stalker was used here much too often and much too harshly. Now I'm starting to wonder-SHEESH!!!!

OK We have The Headband in Pitt. Representing the air breathers, we also have ace in Dallas for the final preseason game, myself and Bobby12(along with NJ phinfan) in the meadow lands in December, also have Odin and Double Ds representing in Minn., Who's gonna support the team in the other Away games??????????

Posted by: odinseye | August 24, 2010 at 03:30 PM
VAHALLA! VALHALLA!
The hammer of the gods will drive our troops to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and screaming: Valhalla, I am coming!
This is the Norse National Anthem.
Led Zepplin knew how to write a fight song!!!!

I hate the pats too, what was it 3 or 4 years ago the dolphins shut the pats out 21-0 in Miami under Saban he ate a lot of dirt that day , I still have that dolphins Digest and we have beaten the pats more then any body else in our division over that span of brady and belicheat and we beat them last year when he through and int to end the game, but that dolphins defense he is referring to was one of the best they ever had if they would have had a QB could have been a different story
Posted by: scott from delaware | August 24, 2010 at 05:06 PM
sorry that was 5 or 6 years ago same thing
Posted by: scott from delaware | August 24, 2010 at 05:08 PM
The Jets are to pathetic for hate. Pity maybe. But hate should be reserved for serious opponents. The last time the Jets played great football was in the Namath era and even then it ran hot and cold. I feel sorry for the Jet fans. Bad team and they have to live in the horrid New York/New Jersey area knowing that they are inferior to the Giants on a consistent basis. They are like Jonah, condemned by God to suffer endlessly. I'd say "poor souls" but we all know they have neither souls nor stones.

Hey Rexy, you'll find the spaghetti peanutbutter milkshake in the husky dept. And you can find the Dolphins in the 2-0 vs the Yets dept. Bon appettite my pudgy little blow-hole !
Posted by: Brooker T | August 24, 2010 at 08:18 PM
Those were awesome defenses that the Dolphins had. JT and either Armstrong and Ogunleye rushing the passer. Bowens and Zach shutting down the running game. Surtain and Madison blanketing the receivers. Nick Satan blew that up in a hurry.
Posted by: mrmikejohnson | August 24, 2010 at 10:03 PM
Its Just Sad That The Bills Are Not Even In The Picture Anymore, It Makes For A Good Division. Could You Imangine If The Colts Were Still In The East? Good Times That Was, When The East Would Send 3 Teams To The Playoffs.
Posted by: standley23 | August 24, 2010 at 10:32 PM
sup' you pee pee toucher's? this offense has me truly exceited! i believe we have real receiver's! damn lets kick this season off 4-0.
