LeGone/Positive or negative for Dolphins and Miami sports landscape

Still won't waste my money on a mediocre franchise.

Sorry out of town haters Spend your money.

It sucks cause now all of our teams will be mediocre...Lovely...
 
At least now the Fins are back to being Miami's main sports team!

Sorry...don't mean to rub it in but I'm not a Heat fan so I'm okay w/ LeBron going home and making the Fins the main team in town again. Had a nice run Heat...now get out of the way for the Dolphins!!!!

I'm an NFL guy and a Dolphins guy. I'm not much of an NBA guy. But, I would observe this. The NFL is an arrogant league and maybe there is a reason for this. But they better watch it. This is what we have have seen under Goodell's watch:

1) A monster collective bargaining battle with players that was a blood bath;
2) Constant lawsuits with ex players;
3) Tons of battles with the populace in various munipalities over new stadia;
4) The spectre of head injuries;
5) Being out of step on drug suspensions;
6) A work force out of control in terms of violence and arrests;
7) NFL players are woefully unprepared for life as most have nonguarantees and end up broke and many injured, walking around with canes and the like; and
8) The possibility of overexposure as the league wants to be on most nights.

Meanwhile, the NBA just had the hottest hot stove July they ever had. The NBA has had every one riveted in July. The league treats its ex players well instead of being embroiled in lawsuits all the time. They have a ton of young stars and just had a great new draft. Clippers just sold for $ 2 bill. NBA is doing a better job globally.

The NFL is king. But you can't just be arrogant forever and hide your head in the sand. One of the main problems is the NFL PR has been horrendous under Goodell and his arrogant regime. The players are both not talen care of and poorly behaved. The league doesn't take care of its own. There are systemic and fundamental problems you don't see in the NBA. The NFL has real problems and they may increasingly manifest themselves in ways that will work to the NBA's advantage especially on a global scale. Watch as the NBA values soar. If I were an investor, I'd invest NBA.

point 7 must be a joke right ? unprepared for life ? we are talking about grown ups and you make it sound like they are babies, its their path they chose and we all have to put some money aside for later , just because some nfl players are to stupid, this has absolutely nothing to do with goodell, it has to do with being an idiot

Football taught me about how to deal with life, honestly. No father around single parent
household and all that.

Some of those things to include 7, 4, and 6 are simply made up.

Don't believe everything Cuban tells you to.
 
I suspect that the television, newspaper and Internet reporters will write less about the Heat. Dolphins stories will suddenly become more interesting. Given our run of mishaps recently that may not be as beneficial as one would ordinarily think.

But winning cures all ills in sports it seems. Coaches become great and players keep their internal bickering more internal.

If the Dolphins start winning, and better yet winning with an exciting offensive attack, the media attention will be there to be ha and could fan the flames of a genuine Dolphins revival amongst the sports fans of Miami.
 
They are having success at 8-8 this team is ascending IMHO, so more attention will be focused on the dolphins.
 
Those issues would have came up if you were commissioner, the NFL is a business and yes it has it's issues but these items for the most part is about health and personal conduct, the NFL couldn't and can't stop concussions, why aren't those players suing their respective universities? they got hit their too. And as far conduct that is a personal issue, drugs and PED's they do need to make absolutely positive what these players can and cannot put in their bodies. And money don't need to be discussed.

Kinda funny/sad that while we're talking about this the first thing we hear about is Pouncey being stupid yet again. Can the Dolphins be no news/neutral for a while?
 
We were 7-9 before he arrived. 7-9 the year after. Mediocre last year too. I'd say it hasn't impacted us much. Dolphins need to focus on themselves and building a successful franchise.
 
This does nothing for the Dolphins. Nobody cares about mediocre unless there's widespread perception you should be far above mediocre, like the Cowboys. There's nothing special about the Dolphins, from the stadium to the owner to the coach to the general manager to the quarterback and everything below. Until we are dynamic somewhere important, the franchise exists in our own window alone. For the rest of the country it's like caring about one speed bump more than the previous one.

mialuv had a great summary. Awesome post. Books will be written about that Heat era. Stories we've never heard. It was fantastic to be the focus of the sporting universe for 4 years. I'm glad I saved many articles, if not enough game tapes.

Mediocre is a close relative of poor but mediocre is not in the same species as great.

Anyway, I thought Lebron would leave. I posted it on a couple of sites after the Finals. Pat Riley did an inept job fortifying the interior. He all but ignored it, other than the cheapskate flail on Greg Oden. It's still a big man's game. The tiny Heat were outrebounded and abused inside in virtually every meaningful game. That equates to no margin for error. It means the outside shots have to fall and the opponent too often is asked to miss not only once, but miss twice.

Home may be where the heart is but I'm convinced Lebron would have ignored all of that if the Heat had a young bruising center, along with perhaps one more natural creator. Instead, he's allowed to accurately handicap the two respective rosters and disguise himself as suddenly a swell guy who wanted to return to the heartland.

What's your take on the odds for the NBA championship? From what I saw, Cleveland went from 40-1 to 4-1 (tied as favorite to win it all with San Antonio) with just the LeBron signing. Miami had been 2-1 but naturally dropped.
