[DKphin]

Jason Taylor, who was a six-time Pro Bowler and a two-time AFC Defensive Player of the Year during a decorated Dolphins career, will join the team’s preseason television broadcasts as an analyst, according to a league source.

Taylor will replace Nat Moore on CBS-4’s Dolphins preseason broadcasts, working alongside Dick Stockton and Bob Griese.

Very cool. Guy's a beast. Played once with a freaking catheter attached. Hope he succeeds in the booth so he's in for the long run.

The guy is going to rock it no doubt. One of the best spoken football players I ever saw.

 

[Austin Tatious]

JT is a sharp guy. I think he’ll be great.

Out of all of our ex players, he’s probably the most equipped for a high level football position too.

Need to replace Griese too......his ship has sailed as a broadcaster.

 

[rent this space]

He should have some great stories to share during the broadcasts. From Jimmy to Saban and Parcells, he saw some drama

One down, two to go. Gonna get younger in that preseason booth and they need it. That trio needs to be fishing with jimmy.

 

[LANGER72]

I agree. Stockton and Griese need to retire.

What?!

But cool for him, will be great to hear him during the preseason

New broadcast team... Taylor, Channing Crowder and Omar Kelly.

Nat Moore was the only decent broadcaster among the three.
Stockton and Griese are terrible.

I never knew this...but I now know that I never wanted to.

 

[royalshank]

JT looks like he could still play.

 

[Finuk]

Shame its Nat that's been replaced. He's an insanely cool guy.

The catheter wasn't for peeing. It was moving blood from one part of his body to another if I'm not mistaken. I believe it was due to a staph infection he contracted after a surgery.

It was in an amazing piece by Dan Le Batard a long while ago for the Miami Herald if anyone is inspired to google/track it down.

His back/legs were so bad that the only way he could get sleep was leaning on a wall on the stairs with one foot on a higher step and the other on the lower step. His back seized up once on the way to the doctors office. When he went to get out of the car, he fell to the asphalt and his wife had to go get staff to help him into the office.
