After starter Joe Berger missed Thursday night's game and backup Cory Procter left the game with a knee injury, the Dolphins might on the surface seem to be dealing with something of a crisis at the center position today.
Relax. They are not.
Berger, who started Miami's first nine games of the season after beating out Jake Grove for the spot, is expected to return to the lineup against Oakland when the Dolphins visit the Black Hole Nov. 28. It's not so much that Berger is expected to recover in time from the knee injury the team listed for him in declaring him out last week, although that apparently should be the case.
It's that, according to a club source, the "personal issue" that Berger is attending to should be sufficiently resolved by the week of the Oakland game.
The source declined to specify what issue Berger is dealing with but it seems clear that it as much as the knee is the reason the player missed Thursday's game. And again, the club expects the issue to be handled when Berger, who has been away from the team for a time, returns to work.
So the Dolphins don't necessarily need to go shopping for a starting center. They don't have to worry about continuing to play left guard Richie Incognito at the center position as he did much of Thursday night.
The team should be fine once Berger handles his business.
Follow me in twitter. No, really ... follow me.







10 days to prepare for the raiders, or not prepare either way. who will be the qb? will it be rudy, or maybe lucas or even radio. we will see! maybe even marky mark.

Tell me how many this bum has won without belicheck.

Shizzznit.....when you said a center will return i was like which one? And for the idiot who said whoppie...Center is the most important piece of the offensive line they call out blocking assignment fool....yeah left tackle...i get it but if the center does not call out blocking schemes the QB will die before end any end or LB gets around the corner fool!

If payton was our qb we would still have zero points. The ol just plain sucked. The play calling sucked the energy display sucked it must be hard to play in a vacuum.They need to bench BM for that 15yard display of stupidity. Fire henning.The pain will be over in 6 weeks.

Good Morning Fans of Failed NFL Team & New World Order Slaves
NWO Reality
Housing prices to drop another 20%
Over 60% of Florida Homeowners have negative equity in their homes
Aprox 1 million foreclosures in only 3 months
Millions more foreclosures coming to USA as they have been temporarily stalled due to corrupt banks and mortgage lenders forging paper work
American currency is going way down in real value
Hyper Inflation will be hitting soon
Real Debt numbers will be approaching 4 Trillion fort the USA
Now over 60 million Americans have No health insurance
Borders are realistically wide open in USA for any illegal immigrants to pass
Real unemployment stands at about 35% if U count the illegal immigrants and millions that have pretty much given up looking for work or are part time under employed
(not to mention the X six figure folks that now work @ Starbucks or McDonalds as servers and cashiers)
The government unemployment number of almost 14% in Miami, FL USA is a smoke screen
U see the number they call "unemployment" is only the unemployed who finagled a free check from the government
Multiply that jaded government issued number by 4
and that is the aprox real amount of unemployed
2 million of the unemployed that have been getting free checks for not working for the last 2 years comes to end now, as there will be No More Extensions.
Crime will reach epidemic proportions
HAARP created & steered weather disasters will work on devastating infrastructure, buildings & homes
Food & water supplies will be severely damage or contaminated
Food & water will be controlled by the New World Order & Monsanto
Illuminati rulers & the hand picked Elite and useful cooperative slave workers will be moving underground in already established Deep Underground Military Bases which are already growing their own food and have survival necessities for at least a decade
The NWO UN has now created over 400,000 cases of Cholera in Haiti
Thousands of these humans are being eliminated daily
These humans have finally caught on and are revolting against the "American & UN help" as they watch their families die not from an earthquake, but a strain of Cholera from Asia which scientist cannot fathom why it is in Haiti & leading to uncontrollable demise of a good portion of the population
What are You going to do?
Still Brainwashed my NWO controlled mainstream media?
Go Bless The Children
The End is Coming

a small group of international elites controls and manipulates governments, industry and media organisations worldwide. The primary tool they use to dominate nations is the system of central banking. They are said to have funded and in some cases caused most of the major wars of the last 200 years, primarily through carrying out false flag attacks to manipulate populations into supporting them, and have a grip on the world economy, deliberately causing inflation and depressions at will. The people behind the New World Order are international bankers, in particular the owners of the private banks in the Federal Reserve System, Bank of England and other central banks, and members of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. Now, although this conspiracy theory was ridiculed for years, it turns out that the Bilderberg does meet and requests no media coverage. They receive no media coverage. The world’s elite meet every year and it goes largely unreported, for what?

"We have come to recognize that there are potential desirable limits to economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of political democracy. A government which lacks authority will have little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary."

IRVINE, Calif. – Oct. 15, 2009 — RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, today released its U.S. Foreclosure Market Report™ for Q3 2009, which shows that foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions — were reported on 937,840 properties in the third quarter, a 5 percent increase from the previous quarter and an increase of nearly 23 percent from Q3 2008. One in every 136 U.S. housing units received a foreclosure filing during the quarter — the highest quarterly foreclosure rate since The Great Depression

Some counties in Florida are reporting 50% unemployment now, and that is according to the government as reported on public television today.
Again, this figure is only the people who have finagled a free unemployment check, that it was the government considers unemployed, not the millions of others whom receive no check or have never applied
Real unemployment in the USA is aprox 35% or higher
Bank robberies & Armed car heist are a daily activity now in Florida
Things will get much worse
Happy Holidays!

Home,
Nice to see someone with balls,tell us how it is!
This is what i found to help your truthful statements.
An estimated 3.8m households will receive a foreclosure filing in 2010, said Rick Sharga, senior vice president at the online foreclosure marketplace RealtyTrac, in a speech at REO Expo.
RealtyTrac publishes a monthly report on its database of foreclosure filings in more than 2,200 counties in the US.
The estimate would be a 35.7% increase from 2009 when 2.8m households received a filing that year. Sharga said when the 2009 stat was released, RealtyTrac economists reported the number should have been closer to 3.3m or 3.5m were it not for foreclosure moratoriums, government programs and bank policy changes.
The total amount of individual filings could reach as high as 4.5m in 2010, up from 3.9m filings in 2009, Sharga said.

"The considerable number of vacant houses and underused factories and offices will be a continuing drag on residential construction and business investment, and drastically slow income growth as well as lost wealth will much restrain consumer spending," Elmendorf says.
In addition, the citizens receiving free unemployment checks, which we regularly misconstrue as the countries unemployment rate -- currently at 9.5 percent, will not fall to around 5 percent until 2014, Elmendorf says. He points out that the last time the jobless rate was 5 percent was April 2008, just as the economy was entering recession. Most economists generally view a 4 percent target jobless rate as a benchmark of full employment.
However, taking in consideration the millions of Americans that get no such free unemployment check and millions more that are out of work illegal immigrants the real unemployment number in the USA is about 38-40%.
So why we use the number of free checks issued for a fictitious unemployment number is way beyond my grasp.
Sound like more corruption and hypocrisy from a country that was founded by slave owners, who wanted to be free.

13 hours after 11 13 the 13 ranked Dolphins were decimated by the 11 ranked Titans, ending Chad pennington`s career on his very first play and putting a total of 11 other players(ten starters on the injury report)
Next game things only got worse as the Miami Dolphins suffered an embarrassment comparable only o 40 years ago, laying an NFL egg once again in prime time television and embarrassing Dolfans everywhere
Once the Illuminati curse of 11 13 struck the Dolphins, there simply was no recovery for the rest of the season
Be Thankful
At least we were forewarned many, many times of the Illuminati numbers 11 & 13 by NostraHomeUs

HAARP New World Order weather is back post 11 13
CNN reporting today:
(CNN) -- Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has declared a state of emergency in 28 of the nation's 32 departments because of heavy rains and flooding that have affected some 1.2 million people.
He called on the international community to help and said the capacity of the Colombian government is overwhelmed.
Flooding and mudslides have killed at least 136 people, injured 205 and left 20 missing, the nation's Interior and Justice Ministry reported.
Emergency officials say the heavy rain has led to problems in 561 municipalities in the South American nation.
"Many have lost everything they had and the capacity of the government [to help them] has been overwhelmed. We're trying to find ways to get more resources and that's why we're calling on the business sector, the public in general, and the international community to help us because, unfortunately, the situation is getting worse," said Santos.
Hmmm ...

Jake Long should get his surgery immediately.
Yes he is a ProBowler & a difference maker, But his complements on the offensive line include an orange cone, a speed bump and a turn style. Add into that a 3rd string QB that doesn’t seem comfortable in our offense, an OC that is out of touch (putting it mildly) and a diva WR that leads the team in dropped passes, hissy fits and unsportsmanlike penalties and I think that tells us Jake and the team should be smart and shut it down.
