Miami Dolphins

Chris Bell was telling us he needs to get confidence back. Though he says he feels fine, he says he sees limp in his game tape that he didn't see before 2025 knee injury (All part of ACL return process.) There's going to be breakout at some point, methinks

Willie Gay just said he's feeling better and good to go. That would leave Beal and Taylor as the 2 potentially out among those on 53.

Aikman, incidentally, hasn't done anything for the Dolphins in months and has no official role... One fascinating dynamic of the Buck/Aikman story is this: If you've worked with someone a quarter century, to what extent is there an obligation to tell them something that your company might not want them to know (or at least give them a hint without compromising your relationship with your employer)?

NEW media column: Thoughts, notes, postscripts on the Buck-Aikman incident, Aikman's future, JJ Watt's promotion, Buck's tricky spot; Al Michaels; Greg Olsen. https://t.co/krwqI6F0cs And more NFL broadcasting fallout during a very newsy week.

The Dolphins are averaging an absurdly low 14.6 completions per game, by far the worst in the league. https://t.co/4V1FHRViML Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik - who revealed yesterday that he previously worked as a senior analyst at Pro Football Focus - says that simply cannot continue.

We share a Jovic story at 11:38. I get agitated at 14:41. And we discuss whether we should accept reality (or something like that) in the final 8 minutes.... I know there are 206 Heat podcasts now, but check us out if you're folding laundry or have time to kill.

Caleb Douglas set to return Sunday from his ankle injury. https://t.co/ctcSuDuKoK And more Dolphins updates from Jeff Hafley's press briefing just now.

No Rob Beal Sunday. Decision will be made this weekend on whether to activate Kyle Louis yet; Miami had 19 more days to do that.

Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas will play Sunday vs the Jets, as will RB Jaylen Wright per Jeff Hafley

Caleb Douglas and Jaylen Wright will play Sunday, per Hafley.

And, of course, anyone in Dade, Monroe and Broward that doesn't get WPLG on their satellite or streaming service can watch Heat games live on one of WPLG's two apps.

Some Heat TV updates: Team says deal is imminent with a Naples/Ft. Myers station, but it's undetermined if the games will be on tonight or tomorrow in that market... WPLG remains in negotiations with several of 5 carriers (including 4 streamers) that haven't been carrying the station. One - Fubo - has agreed to add WPLG and others could follow in the hours or days ahead.

Very disappointing that Brad Stevens helped create this potential monster. Doubt he'll be invited to the Eastern Conference GM/executive VP Christmas party this year.
