Miami Dolphins Photo uploaded by
The Miami Dolphins will have a whole new look for the 2008-2009 season as wholesale changes have been made from the front office, to the coaching staff, to most recently a slew of players, some longtime Dolphins, being released.. Most recently 12 year vet and Pro Bowler Zach Thomas was let go. Some of the water boys may have received their pink slip as well. A few months back, owner Wayne Huzienga decided to make the leap and bring in Bill Parcells to lead the football operations of his beloved Dolphins.
Parcells has been known to “clean house” and that has been no different with the Dolphins. They have a new GM in Jeff Ireland, a new coach in Tony Sporano, a new offensive coordinator in Dan Hennings and the on the field Dolphins will have a whole new look come next season. It may take a while for all the new changes to take effect but we know for certain it will only get better as last year’s Dolphins win total was a grand total of one. You also never know with the Tuna as he is very good at turning things around in a hurry.
If you’d like to see the new look Dolphins in 2008, please for more information.

Perhaps Miami is an unlikely candidate to be on the cutting edge of the modern art scene, but The New York Times reports that the city shows that there’s art in its heart.
In the article the cultural mecca is explored, from the Art Basel Miami Beach festival to the Arsenal Mall, the nation’s first contemporary art shopping mall. Mr. Riley, the director of the Miami Art Museum says, “The Miami art scene is somewhere between young adulthood and late adolescence. It’s no longer a kid, but it’s still happy-go-lucky and trying to figure out what it wants to do with its future.”
There’s now over 70 galleries in the city, nestled in the Art Deco architecture, bringing the city to the edge of the glamorous contemporary art scene. There’s a complete guide to these galleries in the conclusion of the article, along with listings of design stores and places to party.
If you’d like to see the scene in slideshow format, check out also by The New York Times.
