Finfans Podcast - Miami Dolphins

Author Kevin Bryant joins Michael Fink to talk about his new book titled Spies On The Sidelines. The first book to fully explore the extraordinary covert actions NFL teams are willing to take in order to win. Spies disguised as priests. Secret surveillance of targets’ movements. Radio frequency jamming. Tapped telephones. These might sound like acts of espionage right out of the Cold War or a spy movie—but in fact came straight from the National Football League. In Spies on the Sidelines: The High-Stakes World of NFL Espionage, Kevin Bryant provides the first in-depth investigation of spying in professional football, as well as the countermeasures utilized to defend against these threats. Spanning across all teams and eras, Bryant shines a light on the shady world of NFL reconnaissance—from clandestine photography and hidden draft prospects to listening devices and stolen documents—along with the permissible, if sometimes questionable, spy techniques teams utilize day in and day out to gain an advantage over their opponents.

Lots to talk about during this podcast. Louis Ragone and Daniel Rinehart join Michael Fink to discuss a series of topics. We ask everyone to relax and lay off Tua. He's a youngster that obviously needs to raise his level of play. Give him a minute. We discuss his comment that many plays last year were one-read plays. We look at McDaniel and some of his comments as OTA's are wrapping up. We take a few listener's questions....and apologize for being a bit rough on those who submitted specific yardage predictions. It was a fun show all in all. We hope you enjoy it.

Daniel and Louis join Michael to discuss the season over/under total of 8.5 wins. We give you the reasons in our opinion why the total looks maybe a bit lower than most Dolphin fans would think.

Louis, Ryan, and Daniel join Michael as we each pick “our own” five favorite Dolphins players in our viewing history. Ryan is 32, Daniel is 42, Louis and Mike are older than dirt so our answers do differ quite a bit overall. To a man, they all agreed this was much more fun to record than they thought it would be. If you listened and enjoyed the podcast feel free to tell us when you first became a fan and who YOUR top five are. It’s not an easy thing to do. We’ve had so many truly great players in our history. To close the show we add a few players who didn’t make the cut, but easily could have such as Bryan Cox, and Jim Jenson. We also spoke about the unique experience of visiting the Orange Bowl as compared to the newer stadiums of today.

Louis Ragone joins Michael Fink to discuss several issues beginning with the 2022 NFL Draft. We talk about the team’s past successes in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Lou talks about team needs but explains he believes you take the best player on your board rather than reaching for a need. We take some off-season questions from listeners. We touch on Deboo Samuel, Sean Payton, Tom Brady, and several other topics, including what young players we expect to see a jump in performance. We’re asked to name a surprise cut and we name a few who might be fighting for a roster spot. On a lighter note, we were asked who would win a fistfight between Mike Ditka and Don Shula? We give you our opinions.

Daniel Rinehart, Louis Ragone, and Ryan Norwood join Michael Fink to talk about Howard’s new deal, and the Parker trade to open the show. (Ryan had hardware issues and had to drop out.) Mike talks about the fans not being sympathetic towards player injuries. It’s common for these players to have the injuries pile up during the season and hamstring problems linger. It’s the nature of the injury. Ryan feels Davante gets hurt too often. We then talk about the Thomas Morstead signing. Mike would prefer a 26-year-old as opposed to a 36-year-old. Mike opens up the topic of Brady and Sean Peyton who reportedly were targets of Stephen Ross during the offseason and the timing of Flores’s lawsuit nixed that approach. There’s the possibility it’s revisited at a later date. We answer a few listener’s questions. (Which can always be sent to Mike @ [email protected] or through Direct Message through Facebooks Messenger.) We talk draft and WR and RB are discussed. A listener asks if Hunt and Eichenberg will be okay on the right side of the line. Lou is complimentary towards the number of holes Grier has filled this offseason and mentions it’s almost impossible to fill every area of need.
