Smiley already running his mouth

Great. Just what we need. You would think it wouldnt be a big problem for him to actually play some games and produce in a phins uni before he starts with this stuff.

NEW FEUD IN THE AFC EAST?
It's too bad that Justin Smiley and Alan Faneca both play offense. Because if they were on the opposite sides of the ball, one of the newest Jets and one of the newest Dolphins would likely be looking for each other when the two teams play twice in 2008.
Smiley recently appeared on 790 The Ticket in Miami, calling in from an Alabama golf course (and apparently under the influence of one or more portable containers of alcoholic beverages). During the segment, a fast-talking -- and at times mouth-breathing -- Smiley took a shot at Faneca, who inked a five-year, $40 million contract in New York.
"First of all, Alan Faneca's ancient," Smiley said. "The guy is about 10 damn years older than me. Anyone can pull some game film up. Go watch all my game film. That'll do the talking.
"Parcells didn't sign Faneca. They had the cap room to do it and didn’t want to do it. There must be some good things that they saw in me."
Smiley apparently was joking, and might have been half (or fully) in the bag. But Faneca is the kind of guy, in our assessment, who won't see the humor in Smiley's remarks.​

Btw, I do think he made some good points as to why we chose not to sign Faneca, but did he really pick the best time to come out and say so?

Also, was it necessary to come on the airways(quite possibly under the influence) and answer any questions that have to deal with whether or not tampering was involved? Given that the new commish seems to be a bad ***, wouldnt the best thing to do just be to avoid any comments to such questions? You know, seeing as it was obvious tampering was involved.

I like it.

who cares.. what's the big deal.. I hate the jets, I could care less what anyone says as long as it's bad. I'm GLAD we have Smiley, he can talk crap about a jet all day long for all I care. Truth is, you just like to cast a doubt and berate almost every Dolphin, so this thread isn't a surprise.

 

[WVDolphan]

I like it.

I dont mind some trash talking, but would it be nice if he saved it at least till after he has done something for our team and not while he is boozed up, playing golf, and feeling kinda good about getting a nice new contract?

What were the Dolphins missing last year, toughness. I like this, I like the fact that our players think that they are the best and are better than Alan Faneca, a perennial pro-bowler. They want to win now. I get the feeling smashmouth football is coming to Miami.

I like an offensive lineman with an attitude. It's the first reason I liked Satele so much, he plays with an attitude.

i like the spicyness he brings to a bland o-line but he mustve been bagged cause he brought up game film..i tried to dig up game film of him but theres quite a bit missing from his injuryies

 

[Dorfdad]

welcome the new attitude dolphins. Trash talking does nothing on game day you can talk all you want we fans think it matters but to the players it does not..

 

[CharlestonPhan]

Faneca is about ten years older than him... he didn't so much trash Faneca as say check me out, i can play too. sounds like he has a little fire in his belly.

and he sounds like the kind of guy who will take pride in his play. i like it.

 

[like2god]

This is nothing, this sounds like someone is trying to make a mountain range out of a mole hill. He made some playful comments, the comment that I saw in another thread indicated that he was joking, and there is nothing more to it.

 

[Green Ranger]

Doesnt bother me

 

[NorFlaFin]

Trash talkin' OL? what next a talkative kicker? oh wait....................

 

[Vaark]

Other than offering an encouraging sign that he's got the fire deep within, it's really a tempest in a teapot.

 

[SR 7]

lmaoo u giys r hilarious its ok bc hes a fin had it beem nethin else yall would thibk hes a thug as yall say so often esp since he was drunk. N porter is an idiot for talkin crap durimg gameday or before game day? U guys never seize to amaze me.

 

[JFoxx]

I'm not a big one for trash talkin', I'd rather a guy just does his talkin' on the field by his play. But ultimately it comes down to what it always does in the NFL. If he backs it up, he's a stud. If he doesn't, he's a loud-mouth idiot that only talks big, but can't back it up. For everyone's sake, I sure hope it's the first and not the second case.
