As much as
NFL players say they don't pay attention to the media, you can bet your Dolphin Denny Dan Marino badge that they all knew about Ross chasing Harbaugh like a
schoolgirl in pursuit of Justin Bieber.
Which now brings us to the 0-4 start, the injury to Chad Henne and the gosh-awful state of affairs down there in sunny South Florida.
Sparano can start looking through resort brochures—vacation time may be near.
It will be a nice one. Ross will owe him a nice chunk of change if he's fired, and South Florida's a nice place to be with cash in your pocket.
The Dolphins have a bye week, and if now's the time to give Sparano the bum's rush—well, just who will Ross turn to?
Mike Nolan?
His defense
has gone from sixth to 30th and can take more than it's fair share of the blame for this winless venture.
There are "names" lurking out there.
Bill Cower was once courted by Miami, Jon Gruden's tired of biting his tongue, not being able to drop any "f-bombs" in the
Monday Night Football booth, and Jeff Fisher's out there as well.
The problem is that none of those three are going to drop what they're doing and fly south like migratory birds.
There are plenty of parties on South Beach, but this 2011 Dolphin season is not one of them.
It's
mugly, meaning "more than ugly."
It's just about time for the season to end for the "Sparanos" television series.
And the end might be coming sooner than later.
