Fired from his radio show and hasn't posted anything on his blog in weeks. Is he on his way out at The Herald too?
 
He is still active on Twitter...

It must be a kick in the teeth for Armando to get booted from his precious radio gig for Sid Rosenberg, a New Yorker everyone hates who is on his 9th radio life...
 
Salguero was on the Denver Bronco's afternoon "Dave and Dave" Show a couple months back, when the Broncos, Dolphins, Cardinals and Titans were fighting over who would get Peyton Manning. Salguero got highly indignant when one of the "Dave's" called Salguero a Dolphin's Beat Writer. He quickly pointed out how he wasn't a beat writer, but a Miami Dolphin's columnist. Whatever!!! He sounded like a d-bag who thinks a little too highly of himself.

That reminds me of a time I had to go to jury duty and this putz was explaining to the judge that he couldn't do jury duty because his job was too important and that they depended on him too much....when the judge asked him what this "highly important position" was, he responded that he was a supervisor at a fast food franchise....needless to say, he was not excused from jury duty....
 
haha, check out the private message he sent some guy on Twitter

Your story was good for a laugh!

When you lose one sense - another is heightened to compensate for it. For example, a blind person might have a highly-developed sense of hearing. Many times when a person has no sense of humor they compensate for it with a heightened sense of self-importance.
 
I would start to respect the owner if he flexed those billionaire money muscles and got that schmuck axed.

Armando is a BIG part of the constant negative press the Fins get in the local media. The garbage he writes gets picked up by national media outlets and then we get the garbage we got this year.

He defended Ireland one week then when on to tell fans exactly how to picket more effectively to get Ireland fired the following week.
 
He said he was going on hol's and will be back soon...........

Ive always felt that he's hoping to get picked up by a newly created ESPNMiami or some other national outlet. He just comes off as so bitter about Miami's, for lack of a better word, irrelevancy. He has so much more invested in the Dolphins success than any other sports journalist I've ever known.

Sounds like Alex Marvez.
 
Tell you the truth, Armando often has the most realistic sense of what's going on with the team and what is likely to happen. He's been at this a long time, the most tenured of Miami's local media...so he often just 'gets it'.

But I would say he still shows kind of loose morals/ethics.

My one major run-in with the guy, at the time he was employing this guy named Chris Cordero to go to All Star practices and report on the Draft for Armando's blog. It looked like a not-so-veiled response to what Dave Hyde has with me and Simon and Richard in the Draft Winds series. Success breeds competition, I get it. But then Cordero ripped us off the week of the NFL Draft. Simon goes through a lot of pain-staking research to put together a list of players Miami has shown interest in. He often speaks directly to the players or their agents. It ends up being a pretty wide list but it also is pretty accurate. During the Ireland era, I think he's only ever drafted two guys who weren't on the list. The week of the Draft, Cordero submitted his last draft oriented blog post to Salguero, who posted it. Cordero had literally cut and paste our list from Draft Winds, and plopped it in his post. It was obviously cut, pasted and then edited. Certain ways of writing the names of the schools were exact (e.g. "Louisianna-Lafayette" versus "Louisianna Lafayette" or "UL-Lafayette"), there was even several unique typos that Simon authored in the original list that Cordero also had. All he'd really done to the list was accidentally leave off the secondary, add I believe it was three of his own names, then delete enough names to make it total 100 names.

So of course Simon comes at the guy (Salguero) guns blazing and using the dirty p-word (plagiarism). Armando comes right back at him very insulting, very haughty, denying everything even the obvious stuff. Armando's editor rushes to his defense and essentially tells us to **** off. I came back to Armando more amicable because Simon was pissed and his communications weren't helping. Armando and I got along well enough, but the fact of the matter is he continued to deny the OBVIOUS. That's when the Sun Sentinel stepped in, flexed a little muscle and told the Herald people no, you guys ripped off original content posted on our website, you had better retract it. The Herald meekly complied.
