Scott and Alex are in the studio on a victory Tuesday to talk Miami Dolphins. Everything’s on the table including Tyreek’s injury, Darren Waller’s surprise introduction, checking in on our outstanding draft picks, admiring that 32 D, and oh yeah, we beat those damned Jets. The Sarcasm be with you! We have a laugh at the expense of the “social media champions”, it’s kind of an evil laugh. No bell ringing (because we won, that’s the new rule) but we’re still eyeing the future. Join us for an always positive “One Cool Thing” segment.

Welcome to another bell-ringing episode of Two Old Dolfans, where Alex and Scott talk Bills, Jets, and the rotten state of our beloved Dolphins. What did we see during Thursday nights loss in Buffalo? Will we win on Monday night? What SHOULD Mr Ross do with Grier and McDaniel right now? (It’s probably not what you think). We demand intelligence from an owner who has shown any (football) smarts so far. He’s a businessman first, and apparently only… Tyler Warren vs. Grant talk. We can’t let these horrible drafts continue or we will never see a champion in our lives again. Hey, stick around for our “One cool thing” segment. There’s always something positive there.

Alex and Scott find some time in the studio to talk Dolphins in the gap between losing to New England, and what they fear will happen in Buffalo. They haven’t run the funeral bell since 2018… but the audio has been pulled from the grave. Does Miami have cornerstone players? Who are they? Some observations from the loss, and some thoughts about Thursday Night vs. the Bills. Alex makes a mighty effort to stay positive while Scott drops a few more F-bombs (fair warning). The One Cool Thing segment is always positive!

Warning… This episode is unedited. Scott just didn’t have the heart or the time to spend on it, so it will be a little rough around the edges. We don’t usually swear – but there’s some in this one, so if the kids are in the car… Miami went to Indy for the NFL opening day and got their clocks cleaned. No part of the game was good, so Alex and Scott cover performances but not much in details. This game left everyone in the NFL world talking about what we’ve been trying to get out there for years. The last episode of last season said it all… the “Vote of No Confidence” episode of season 7 aimed at Mr Ross. Now we see the results. For the record, we drafted Tyler Warren for the Dolphins.

Welcome to our traditional prediction episode heading into 2025. Everyone does one, we just do it better. Join Alex and Scott for a schedule walk-through recored just in time to listen before kickoff vs the Colts in Indy. Football is finally here.

Alex and Scott are back after another long gap, so there’s a lot to talk about in this episode. Recording on the morning before the last pre-season game, our hosts run the gambit of player, issues, injuries, coaching, GM moves, and more. Short write-up, long episode. Join us!

Scott and Alex debated a few times wether to carry on, but it was always a forgone conclusion that we would. The aqua and orange runs deep. So here’s the first episode of our new season, 8 years into it. Alex has taken a positive approach in honor of his son, who most of you know we lost last year. Scott is as jaded as ever with the Dolphins management, so it promises to be a season with come conflict. We will always celebrate wins. In this episode, the two talk about the draft. Alex, for the most part, loves what we did. Scott thinks Grier got some players, but once again missed out on stars, as well as numbers. Which picks? Which players? Listen in to hear from the guys who’ve seen it all.

Scott and Alex strive to give you an honest evaluation of the Miami Dolphins every week in the regular season, with episodes in the offseason around Free Agency, changes in management, the draft, and training camp – pre season… This episode marks the end of their 7th season of the podcast. With a fair warning, both men are angry. They regularly strive to balance out negativity with positive aspects of the team, even after a loss, but always tell it like they see it. A lifetime of experience and a long familiarity with each other makes them a good listen, usually. Both feel that their favorite team is mis-managed at every level. Their hope was for the owner to realize that as fans, we want a championship, and that the management in place both at the GM position, as well as the head coaching position, lack the skills and experience to achieve that, Our hope was the Ross would realize it, and make changes so that even he may live to see a competitive, winning team. Our GM has made this the oldest team in the league, strapped by financially burdensome contracts to underperforming players, and critical weaknesses at key positions. Why Stephen Ross issued his statement is beyond our understanding, and has taken away the hope of fans who dig deeper, understand football, and truly care about winning. Mr Ross is a brilliant businessman, but every football decision he has ever made since taking ownership of our team has been bad. The sales of season tickets in October ensure that sellouts continue, he he can laugh all the way to the bank. Losing to the Jets adds insult to injury. The behavior of some players elevates our frustration (Hill). Alex and Scott discuss all this, and wether it is worth our time and expense to continue this podcast in 2025.

In this Bonus episode, Mike Olivia of DolphinsTalk joins Alex and Scott to talk about his Dec 18 article Why Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel Will Not Be Fired. As we approach the final game of the Dolphins 2024 season, Alex and Scott are looking for hope from Stephen Ross, and if you’ve listened to our previous couple of podcasts, you’ll know we want pretty much the opposite of what Mike’s article states. To be fair, Mike wants the same, but makes his case for why he believes it. This is a high energy debate that covers a lot. It was supposed to be 30 minutes but the three men just roll past that mark and don’t slow down. If you haven’t listened to many episodes this year, this bonus episode is the ONE.

Tua’s absense in the Browns game came as a suprise to us, and Huntley, even with a slow start, upped his game for the win. Scott and Alex talk about the game, but are more focused on the future. The primary topics are more on Grier, the Pro Bowl / all pro selections and the whiffs that would have made us a Superbowl contender, instead of a perpetual mediocre team. The Jets are a train wreck and we predict what will happen in this game, regardless of wether it’s Tua or Huntley behind center. Will the Dolphins make the playoffs this year??? One cool thing makes some fun recommendations in SoCal, and on an upcoming new podcast.
