Strug-gel-ling

We got killed last night in the Charity Challenge, 7-2. I (above, bottom) was HORRIBLE. The Girls dominated. See all the pictures you want here, but they don’t tell the full story. If you listen closely, Green Day is playing...

Sadly, Dave Lane (below, right) had his face sliced open.

Miami debates what to do at #2 in the Draft …

The Dolphins already have turned their attention to the April draft that will offer them three basic courses of action.

The team could fill its need at running back, with some NFL people believing Miami would use its second overall pick on Auburn's Ronnie Brown.

The team could fill its need for a future quarterback, with Alex Smith being the likely leftover choice because San Francisco seems focused on picking California's Aaron Rodgers.

Friday Tournament Selections: Wisconsin (wishful thinking), UNC, Duke, and Utah.
Record so far: After going 2-2 last night, I drop to 37-15.
