The live blog of tonight's Dolphins game versus Tampa Bay starts in the comments section of this post at 7 p.m.
I watched Chad Henne roll up in his Beemer and enter the stadium earlier this afternoon and I suddenly realized I am watching the start of what could be his entrance into NFL stardom. Let's hope.
You know that dawns on me how hopeful and yet uncertain things are for the Dolphins.
Take the defense: Mike Nolan's crew tonight starts two rookies (Jared Odrick and Koa Misi), two first-time starters (Cameron Wake and Chris Clemons),two second-year starters (Sean Smith and Vontae Davis), a player in a new position (Randy Starks), and a player on a new team (Karlos Dansby).
The Dolphins defense is the definition of brand new, untested and a package full of surprises.
On offense tonight I will be keeping my eye on the offensive line. I want to see this group start to come together. Amazingly, this is the third year of the Bill Parcells-Jeff Ireland-Tony Sparano plan in which they began to build from the interior out.
And they're still building.
Anyway, tonight's game is on NFL Network for satellite subscribers. It is on CBS-4 if you are in South Florida. You can otherwise catch it here online. And of course, I would appreciate if you join me during the live blog.
Follow me on twitter.







Go to a sports bar ! Get cable ! Get a sat dish ! Oh, I forgot, this is the new America, where every little thing is owed to everyone.

Sorry odinseye, if a guy posts a link that people have to download a survey, give a phone number, get a text message to confirm submission, then get a password to a free stream on justin TV......I'm just saying beware. No more from me.

Streams get shut down for obvious reasons so they don't usually start until kick off.
If you wait till just after kick off and ask Soiled Bottom real nicely, I'm sure he'll help you guys out.
He's a pro at dis stuff :)
PS: You're welcome Soiled. Ah ha ha ha!!!!
Posted by: odinseye | August 14, 2010 at 06:34 PM
Vernon Carey is scheduled to start. So he's obviously OK.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:36 PM
Bummer that Dobbins is not playing. I really wanted to see if he is what he is being sold as. Cobbs I knew was out Allen as well, still sucks they are not in.

Mando, Do we have a muddy Field tonite???? And If we do, Is Henne a Mudder????
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 06:38 PM
Not raining Cuban. At least not yet.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:40 PM
Antoni,
Great advice.
Pirates are rough and tumble characters. I'd never snitch on one.
Go Miami!
Posted by: odinseye | August 14, 2010 at 06:40 PM

Posted by: fdsf | August 14, 2010 at 06:41 PM

Posted by: MojoMark | August 14, 2010 at 06:41 PM
Cuban,
Henne played up here in Michigan for 4 years.
He's a Mudder.
Posted by: odinseye | August 14, 2010 at 06:42 PM
Guys(That dont have Direct TV) Isnt there some sports bar near your homes(Ohhh Snap I Said Home) That you could go to???,You might just meet some fellow Phin fans.....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 06:42 PM
I just said Will Allen is NOT playing. Hello?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:43 PM
Armando, are you using the online site you recommended? Can you tell us more about it?
Posted by: Lord Brandon-Karlos Dansy-Marshal | August 14, 2010 at 06:43 PM
"I forgot, this is the new America, where every little thing is owed to everyone."
I better not catch Aloco on this live blog..he better be working...I got bills he's gotts pay.
By the way Mr. Salguero, can you snag me a "Misi" jersey and mail it to me ?..that would be real swell.
Now where is that free live feed at ?
Soiled :)
Posted by: SoiledBottom | August 14, 2010 at 06:43 PM
i was just thinking. who plays tackle when the starters come out? gardner is hurt and to be honest i can't name another tackle on this team!
Posted by: jaison biagini | August 14, 2010 at 06:44 PM
Cuban,
I mixed up a speacial concoction called Snakebite.
I'm going to do a double shot everytime Marshall catches a pass.
I'm hoping to get ripped!
Posted by: odinseye | August 14, 2010 at 06:45 PM
Mando, You think your boy Wallace well see extensive play tonite????
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 06:47 PM
I was just told the online link I shared would be good. You guys saying it's no good?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:47 PM
Soiled, you rock!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:48 PM
Probably in the fourth quarter, Cuban.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:48 PM
Watch out Mando, Foolio will call you a Fraud too....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 06:49 PM
Feed the Wolf, Feed the Daarn Wolf!! We have a vary talented (but raw) linebacker core, we have the best front 3 of any 34 defense, I dont care what NT's do in other schemes Starks will redefine the position you'll see. YB should've been a probowler years ago but he only got there last year, Vontae Daviss will establish his own island and Smith just has to be more aggresive. Clemons has all the physical skills to be a ball hawk he just needs to get his mind around it. Offensively we have a good very talented young, promising QB who is far better than Thigpen. He finally has a deep threat, beast of a WR to throw to, which will allow Bess to play the slot more freely without going against double coverages every play (Like he did late last season). We have a second year WR in Hartline who could be come a star in years to ccome. Our O-line is a question mark but a big, strong, nasty, good question mark at that. I'm more worried about what Dann Henning will do, he likes the running game and afraid he will continue to do questionable calls along the season. GO PHINS!!

Armando, it doesn't lead anywhere, sorry man. And forgetting the cretinous regulars comments, the kris link is a scam. I guess atdhe.net is the only option.
Posted by: foolio74 | August 14, 2010 at 06:49 PM
No, just asking you if you had used it yourself. I am a bit cautious when it comes to giving sites my credit card number, unless I know something about them, that's all.
Posted by: Lord Brandon-Karlos Dansy-Marshal | August 14, 2010 at 06:49 PM
Armando,
Whether it's good or not, thanks for trying.
Armando looks out for his bloggers, for real.
You Da Man Armando! Thanks again!
God I'm pumped!!!!

Cisco is Psyched, you can tell.... lol...
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 06:51 PM
Mando, I haven't heard much about the rookie LB's (Spilter and McCoy) , any chance we see them get some extensive playing time tonight?
Posted by: Francisco | August 14, 2010 at 06:52 PM
Armando,
Becareful or some FOOLio will threaten to ban you from YOUR own blog.
I swear these Trolls are the best source of entertainment
They don't even take time to read how FOOLIOISH they sound.
FEED THE WOLF!
not the trolls
Posted by: kris | August 14, 2010 at 06:53 PM
Lord, I wouldn't share your credit card info with that site. Just saying. Maybe NFL.com is streaming something, even if you must pay. That site I do trust.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 06:53 PM
Cuban, how can I not be psyched? THis is the most talented and promising team the Phins have had in years!
Posted by: Francisco | August 14, 2010 at 06:54 PM

Y'all might find links here. Right now they just have a justin.tv link, but there are usually good numbers of links during the regular season.

Posted by: Mark | August 14, 2010 at 06:58 PM
and Kris's link just disappeared...........funny that. Go try it, anyone.
Posted by: foolio74 | August 14, 2010 at 06:58 PM
Missing 5 starters from defense from a 7 and 9 team is not that bad IMHO........
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 06:58 PM
Mark, hope you can help me out, I'm, watching the game tonight via NFL Network in Mexico but moving to Spain in 10 days. ANyways my question was, do you get to watch all the NFL regular season games with NFL GamePass? (Anyone else that can help me with that; ill appreciate it!)
Posted by: Francisco | August 14, 2010 at 07:00 PM

Posted by: Lord Brandon-Karlos Dansby-Marshal | August 14, 2010 at 07:00 PM
Sisco, Yes.....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 07:02 PM

Posted by: dave | August 14, 2010 at 07:02 PM
Francisco,yes buddy,you do get to watch the regular season games just as long as you've payed the dosh obviously
Posted by: Mark | August 14, 2010 at 07:03 PM
Thanks Cuban! Was worried that I would miss the Dolphins season this year and the next four! Feeling much better now, thankyou! Goooo Phins!!
Posted by: Francisco | August 14, 2010 at 07:03 PM
And now, in time for kickoff, it is RAINING.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 07:04 PM
What would channel 4 be if they did not screw up the audio right off the bat???
Posted by: Derek4Dolphins | August 14, 2010 at 07:04 PM
Great, thanks, well if the Phins season goes as it should then it will be money well spent!
Posted by: Francisco | August 14, 2010 at 07:04 PM

The Dolphins have no practiced in the rain this preseason.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 14, 2010 at 07:06 PM
Coach Soprano? I think Griese stopped at Odin's house on the way to the game.
Posted by: Mark in Toronto | August 14, 2010 at 07:06 PM
LOL at the rain.....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | August 14, 2010 at 07:06 PM

Anyone else have the same issues?
