Rough Day for Dolphins

Quiet day on the blog today because of a busy day in the real world. We taped two Fantasy Fix shows and Rotoworld.com has made a long-anticipated move to NBCSports.com's Stamford, CT. world headquarters. So I'm showing everyone where the utensils are stashed. It doesn't help that our Fix crew is moving in slow motion after Tiffany's birthday last night.

Still kept busy on the news page today (Just like a blog, without the mugshot).

It was a rough afternoon for the Dolphins. Daunte Culpepper is asking for his release and slamming the organization for rushing him back from his ACL tear and for droping him now.


Cameron wants no part of Culpepper

Culpepper has a point in relation to last year. It was clear early that Culpepper wasn't right, but he continued to play. He wound up undergoing more intensive surgery in November, the severity of which was covered up by the team. The team's doctors obviously didn't forsee the problems in his rehab before they gave Culpepper a big contract.

Culpepper's issues are in the past, though. Michael Silver's jarring article about the dissension among the Dolphins regarding the Ted Ginn draft pick could actually affect this season.

Ginn has enough pressure and criticism coming from the Miami fanbase and media. Knowing his own teammates don't want him can't help.

"With the ninth pick they took a guy who is basically a kick returner -- a hurt kick returner. Here were are in June, and he hasn't been in camp yet. Maybe he'll come in eventually and become a better route-runner and make some plays. But I couldn't believe it then, and I can't believe it now," defensive tackle Vonnie Holliday said.

Like most people, I was surprised by the Ginn pick. But the torrent of negativity surrounding the selection has been over the top. The two best offensive linemen in the draft were gone. They didn't believe in Brady Quinn. Give Ginn a year or two before calling him a bust.

One part of the Silver article that has to make Miami fans shudder is the line calling John Beck "extremely shaky" in minicamp. That's to be expected from a rookie quarterback, but Beck is the key to Miami's offensive future. Not Ted Ginn.
