Dreadful outing spells end of Miami's season
BY DAN LE BATARD

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Zach Thomas was broken.

Cracked like a windshield hit by a brick. Shattered like porcelain fallen from a shelf.

Fin-ished.

This happens to him after the worst losses, so many of which have come in this awful and dreary place. Whether he screams or whispers, his soul opens and the frustration speaks on his behalf. He has screamed at giant teammates in this locker room after defeats, angry and confrontational. And Sunday, after a 20-17 defeat to the hated New York Jets dropped his 1-5 Miami Dolphins deeper into last place, Thomas' voice gave up, and he sounded like he was very close to crying.

''Embarrassed,'' he began.

His hair was still wet from the shower. The bloody scars all over his body were still fresh.

''We're the worst team in the NFL right now,'' he continued.

He was surrounded by cameras and notebooks and questions. So many questions.

''This is ridiculous,'' he said. ``This is tough.''

His voice cracked. He turned away from the cluster of cameras as that happened and said, ''I'm not going to say any more.'' Thomas bent down and tugged at his luggage, and what he whispered next, to himself, was hard to hear. He either said, ''This [expletive] will make you real tired'' or ``This [expletive] will make you retire.''

Pretty huge difference between those two things, even if it's just frustration talking and he is one of the most unusually raw athletes you'll ever hear. He was asked to repeat himself, but it was still hard to make out. Nobody had the heart to ask him yet again. Dressed, Thomas dragged himself out of the losing locker room, defeated in every way an athlete can be.

Fin-ished.

Last time your Dolphins looked this dreadful, it was because their best player, Ricky Williams, quit just before the season to live in an Australian tent. In other words, at least Dave Wannstedt had a decent excuse for the pipes bursting, the toilet overflowing and the sewage enveloping a proud franchise.

No such luck for the stink on Nick Saban's Dolphins. Sunday's loss to an average Jets team proved with redundancy that the Dolphins aren't merely awful, which would be indignity enough. No, they're pretty boring, too.

Cure-for-insomnia-

solitary-confinement-

stadium-full-of-snoring

boring.

Don't let Sunday's final burst of panic fool you. The Dolphins, in all their desperation, scored two touchdowns late, but all that meant is that they have still yet to score more than 17 points in a game this season. Consider: Dallas, San Diego and Pittsburgh each scored 17 or more in a single quarter Sunday. Peyton Manning's butler finds 17 points in the cushions when Manning gets up from the couch. Miami, meanwhile, has played six games -- 24 quarters -- and has yet to score more than 17 in a single one of them. So all the Dolphins did Sunday was find a new way to crush the hope of their fans and another way to question their coach.

The timidity was staggering in a game this savage. First, with their running back putting up his first 100-yard game of the season and averaging nearly 6 yards a carry, the Dolphins kick a field goal to make it 6-3 instead of being more aggressive during this lost season and attempting to go for it on fourth-and-inches from the New York 3-yard line. Then, as the final seconds ticked away, they played for the field goal in a rush, didn't use their final time out (maybe Saban planned on using it some time on the flight home) on a crucial third-and-2 with 30 seconds remaining and saw their long field-goal attempt, like their entire effort, come up a bit short.

''Stalled out in a tough spot right on the edge of where we needed to be,'' Saban said in a news conference during which he ran a Wannstedian hand through Wannstedian hair.

The positives? Ronnie Brown didn't look like 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-bust. And there wasn't a bench-clearing riot involving helmet swinging and head stomping. And that about covers it.

The negatives? Dropped interceptions and passes. No turnovers caused, again. The defense giving up big plays and the offense dinking and dunking again as teams dare Miami to go 80 yards on 10 plays without a mistake. And the special-teams unit, good for one game-changing failure a Sunday this season, spitting up on itself again.

The Dolphins, old on defense and overrated at the skill positions, aren't the NFL's worst team, as Thomas alleged, but only because the 0-5 Raiders have someone named Andrew Walter (or maybe its Walter Andrew) at quarterback and their offensive coordinator was out of football and running a bed and breakfast the past several years. But Miami's season is over now, sour as expired milk, the final 10 games an uninteresting and slow death march toward what is already one of the most disappointing seasons in Dolphins history.

Fin-ished.

Suspensions handed to 31 for fight night

By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

October 16, 2006

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- After reviewing a sideline-clearing brawl between players from Miami and Florida International, officials from both schools and their conferences announced Sunday the suspension of 31 players--13 from the Hurricanes and 18 from FIU.

Each suspended player must sit out his team's next game for taking part in the ugly melee that marred the team's matchup Saturday. Miami plays at Duke on Saturday; FIU at Alabama on Oct. 28.

More sanctions are still possible, officials from both schools said Sunday night.

"These suspensions send a clear and definitive message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated," Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford said.

Key players suspended by the ACC and Miami were kick returner Bruce Johnson, running back Charlie Jones, defensive back Brandon Meriweather, punter Brian Monroe, right guard Derrick Morse and defensive back Randy Phillips.

"I don't have many bad days," Miami coach Larry Coker said Sunday morning, long before the suspensions were announced. "This is a bad day. And last night was a bad night."

FIU, which had eight players ejected, expected to hear from Sun Belt Conference officials about sanctions Monday.

Trey Krimsin Here's a good question:

Should the president of the University of Miami (FL) revoke scholarships, fire the coaching staff, and end the rest of the season for the football team?

Wannie was never given a fair shake for the Phins. He centered his whole team around a guy who quit to go smoke weed.

The "Stache" is doing ok now see University of Pittsburgh. A possible sleeper to get into the B(c)S.

The Phins were my 1st ever favorite pro team. It might of had something to do with Flipper being my favorite tv show at the time.

wrong wanny's drafts were a frickin' waste of picks
he passed on anquin boldin for jamar fletcher and you saw what anquin can do last nite and last few years in arizona...not one of wanny's picks are eeven still on the team other than chris chambers and that speaks volumes of a draft 4 years ago!

wanny sucks and is better suited in the college ranks.

Dave W does not deserve all the blame for Miami's woes. He makes a great scapegoat though. The upper management points the finger at him when it should be pointed at themselves. Miami is a coach's graveyard, and it will be until changes upstairs are made. Danny M is the only thing that this franchise had going for it in the last 20 years. Did you ever wonder why some teams are almost always in the playoffs and some seem to never make it? On a level playing field such as the NFL this should never happen. Coaches and players come and go, but one thing remains constant--the people upstairs.
