Defiance is released @audible_com tonight, a 5 month, 8 part odyssey that myself & @MJGold have been on, digging into the history of protest in sport with an amazing cast of characters & stories that tries to answer why athletes stand up to be counted & the price they always pay.
Phenomenal read. Many people have two speeds - forward and reverse. But reality is full of complexity and contradiction. A sport wouldn’t be hard if it conformed to our preference for easy situations and obvious solutions. @SiClancy sees all the sides on this one.
@dustydolphins Well, Malik's "three year" contract isn't up for discussion. He's here to win and should be judged by his play alongside suitable talent. Which he blatantly doesn't have currently.
@dustydolphins Dude, you’re barking WAY up the wrong tree. Miami had NO intention of trading him to anyone. And yes, he’s had the injury for a while and played through it. I can tell you there was 0% chance they were trading him.
@FanDolphin96963@DolphinsTalk He’s not though is he. He played in LITERALLY the most one-read, HS offense in all of college ball. He had to learn how to play NFL QB as a back-up. And his high points as a starter in GB dicked on most college prospects. Tell me about some of your fave North Texas DM throws.
Malik Willis is down. But is he out? What does his injury mean, both in the short and long term? Because the picture now becomes a lot more cloudy. However, Miami’s opinion and yours are likely to be very different. My latest @DolphinsTalk

@FanDolphin96963@DolphinsTalk Why do you think Mestemaker is the answer? Intrigued to know why 7/8 games is enough for him, but too much for Willis, especially when nobody actually judges anyone on 7 games. Hence why I said Miami’s opinion is very different to yours.
@Exiled_axe@DolphinsTalk Yeah, former first round pick Devante Parker, Mack Hollins, still a valuable player in this league, Mike Gesicki, another valuable player in this league. Jakeem Grant. Let's be serious. Even for a minute.
@Exiled_axe@DolphinsTalk Have you paid much attention to the route running? He's playing with three rookies, one of whom can't run a route. Another who's being used at multiple positions even though he's a slot. A third who missed three games. His TE has been cut by three teams. Et cetera.
@FanDolphin96963@DolphinsTalk You are quite welcome to think what you like my friend. I'm not sure what you've read that you think is irresponsible. I suspect you've misconstrued what I've written.
