Michael,

Can’t a ‘Phins fan dream a little?

Check out my preview to the Miami Dolphins upcoming contest against the Carolina Panthers this Thursday night to find out why I’m dreaming some nice little dreams. Let me know if those dreams are realistic, or simply comment on the writing…lol

This is an important piece that needs to be read by all B/R members.

Hopefully you read it and even spread word, so everyone can see things from a new perspective.

Good morning! I'd like to refer you to a piece that was written by Juan which I think could serve as a good tool for younger writers.

I've been in contact with a guy who represents DeSean Jackson and helping him with his social networking sites. He wanted me to help spread the word about Jackson auctioning his gloves on Sunday to help raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research. If you have time, I'd love if you'd check this article out.
