This team has two games on MNF this year and also a Thanksgiving game. That's a pretty good barometer for how we are perceived. But I'm not gonna do any more to spoil your pity party, if you really think we are a laughingstock right now then you'll enjoy the nearly winless season that will come out of abandoning ship two weeks into the season, especially considering that the likely interim coach has a far worse record (18-37) than Sparano.

If we lose to the Browns this week, I think thats going to seal Tony's fate. If not, Ross should take a class in common sense. Selling parts of the team to celebs, bringing in celebs to sit in your booths, is not going to sell tickets and generate revenue. Putting a winning team on the field, is the ONLY answer to making money and selling out home games, in any sport.
Going into week 4 at San Diego, is another likely loss, being we match up horrible against pass attacking offenses. If tomorrow is a loss, Tony really should be fired after the SD game. An interim coach would not be the end of the world, it would serve as a great measuring stick to just how bad Tony really is "was" as a head coach.
In 2004 when Wanny was fired after a 1 - 8 record, Jim Bates didn't do a bad job, going 3 - 4. The players played harder and with alot more "fire" under Bates that year, than what Wanny was able to put together.
Making a move after a possible 0 - 4 start, would be the right thing to do in my opinion.

The Dolphins have been the laughing stock so what does it matter?
