Look, he's getting better, and so is the team.
Universal studios just got 300 million in tax breaks. They used the Obamacare waiver for the last 2-years. Disney World is going after a 200-300 million in tax break as we speak. Universal just got 9 million tax dollars today to build a new bridge for their new hotel. What are you talking about?
For all those Ireland supporters the truth is philbin and company are really the ones making personnel decisions. Lucky for us this upcoming draft might turn out to be the best draft in the past 10 yrs due to the fact that philbin is heavily involved. Philbin I think will turn out to be great for this organization. Ross is a good owner but he just made the mistake of trusting parcels and his cronies too much. Like in any sport you gotta have the ppl that know how to make the right decisions ala pat Riley etc.. Ireland to me has never been the right guy. But in his defense he did hire philbin and I like philbin.
Well to most people PArcells was that Riley guy but Ireland is still the gm so in the end its his credit or blame
...The idea is to win Super Bowls, not host them.

Just for the record, Ireland didnt hire Philbin. Ireland tried to hire Mike McCoy, even going so far as to promise him the team plane to pick him up in a day or two for the press conference.
Philbin was Ross' guy, through and through.
Best line I've ever read on this site...
What total BS!
The city is getting tax revenue and jobs from having the Miami Dolphins in their city. They should pay their fair share. It's a business, and the city doesn't get a free ride either.
So what do you call this new BS you've come up with? "Socialized capitalism?"
You are talking two totally different entities. The amount of tax revenue brought in as well as jobs brought in by these companies is like comparing Miami to Davenport Fl
And that's why I don't understand why Ireland is still our gm. I don't get it. While philbin was a Ross pick I said Ireland becuz he's the gm. If philbin turns out to be great Ireland gets the credit, even though we all know he's an average gm.
Its not a perfect scenario at all its just what will prob get it done. I dont personally think its the city of miami's job to invest in the dolphins but there is a level of benefit just not what the nfl want u to believe.
I think if u frame these type of bills and work with the city to make it happen its a good thing but the trying to rush this through with out a vote was kind of dubius but hey he tried and u cant blame him.
Also we dont usually pay 33 percent of the costs with an intrerest free loan to most business's in area that not even close to a norm
he paid 1 billion dollars and im pretty sure he plans to sell it for much more, it was not some altruistic endeavor
1382 yards and 12 TD's last year while Odrick does next to nothing.
