(not) live from training camp

I received information from the dolphins about training camp. As it was last year, reporters are not allowed to post live from the stands, so you'll undoubtedly see updates from the beat writers hustling back and forth to the media room to provide updates.

But this year they've also told us that fans will not be able to provide any live updates from training camp. They've made it clear that tweeting, blogging, or otherwise just giving real-time updates on the Internet is vetbotten.

I was hoping to provide some updates or perhaps recorded sound clips, but now I have to think about how to work around this - or forget about it.

Amusing, but nothing to do with the fins

I was driving along in Miami and saw a billboard that caught my attention.... It was a nice looking woman's torso in a bikini top.

The ad was for breast augmentation "for as low as $89 per month". Oh where to begin with the jokes

What if you miss a payment? Do they send out a repo man?

That's some lay away plan....

Attending games

Why is it that what Adam did last year - going to every NFL stadium was so unusual?

Last night at the marlins game I met a guy - not the first person I've ever met who does this - who is trying to get to every baseball stadium.

Sure baseball season is longer and this may be a lifetime achievement but you don't hear about it in football.

At least they got that right...

Nick, Cameron, Dave, and JJ probably would have taken a chance.

 

But Parcells, Sparano, and Ireland issued a statement that they are not interested in Michael Vick.

 

Thank you for that.

 

I don't care if the guy plays again or not - that's really not my concern.  But I didn't want him here in Miami creating a distraction of any sort.

 

 

That's just dumb

I couldn't help but notice there's no app available for the NFL in the
iTunes store. That's odd because the other major sports have one that
give stats and scores.

So I used the iPhone to surf to NFL.com. There's an iPhone based page
that appears. But as near as I can figure it's hard to get scores (I
didn't even see preseason games listed!) and stats just aren't there.

So I just decided to add the dolphins to a section called "my NFL"

What do you suppose happened?

I got an error message that said my carrier is not supported.

I guess I won't be visiting their site on the iPhone during the season.
