The Dolphins’ season came to a screeching halt even before late afternoon loss to the New York Jets. You see, any opportunity the Fins had of making the playoffs was predicated on the outcome of the Denver Broncos/Kansas City Chiefs game and the results were never in doubt. That’s what happens when your destiny is in another’s control. Denver’s decisive victory over the Chiefs eliminated both the Dolphins and the Bengals from the playoffs, though Cincinnati’s 19-17 victory over Pittsburgh kept their playoff hopes alive. The Dolphins’ defeat reflects their middle of the road NFL status. A good draft, a foray into free agency, a trade or two and possibly working something out with Tyreek will elevate the Fins.

The way the NBA is going with a heavy concentration on three-point shots, probably the last great guard-big man duo in professional basketball might be Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant. Shaq and Kobe combined for three consecutive NBA championships from 2000-2002. Both are regarded as two of the Top 50 players ever in the NBA. By most accounts they would both land in the top 20 players of all time.
In last week’s article I may have prematurely written the Miami Dolphins off as having no chance of making the playoffs. CBS’ Tony Romo outlined the very minuscule possibility, indicating that they were mathematically still in the hunt. Just as last week before the Texans’ defeat, the Dolphins must win their remaining games against the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets, both winnable games on the road, as they did Sunday against a depleted San Francisco 49er team.
