Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill's Shocking Admission



Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill admitted to not knowing something about football that a lot of fans can rattle off the top of their head.

Last night on HBO’s series, Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins, Tannehill told back up Dolphins QB Matt Moore that he doesn’t know what division each team is in.

"I'm so lost on the whole divisions," Tannehill said.  "I know our division and that's about it.”

Moore was shocked and asked Tannehill if he could name the four teams in the NFC north, even giving him a starting point with the Green Bay Packers.

“Green Bay, Minnesota…. the Giants,” Tannehill answered.

After a little chuckle Moore moved on to ask Tannehill if he can name the NFC east teams.
 
“NFC East… the Chiefs?” Tannehill asked.

Moore busted out in laughter and asked,  “How do you not know this?  It shocks me."

Tannehill explained that he wasn’t a big NFL fan as a kid growing up and never invested his interest in liking just one team, so he never got to know the divisions.  He said he does know most of the team's conferences.

Well, the Chiefs are in the AFC West, not the NFC East, so he still has some learning to do on which conference each team is in, let alone getting to know each team’s division.

At least Tannehill knows which teams he needs to be out in the Dolphins' division, so that can be seen as a good sign.

The Dolphins play their final pre season game tonight in Dallas against the Cowboys starting at 8:30pm ET.

Colts vs. Redskins; South Florida Rookies Steal Show

All eyes were on the #1 and #2 picks of the 2012 draft in Saturday's game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins, but two other rookies scored the first touchdowns for each team.

The first quarter ended scoreless with the #2 pick, Robert Griffin III, leading the Redskins down the field.  The drive was capped off with a 2 yard touchdown run by rookie running back Alfred Morris, from Florida Atlantic University. 


The #1 pick, Andrew Luck, responded by leading the Colts to a score on a 31 yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, from Florida International University.




Morris, a sixth round draft pick, and Hilton, a third round draft pick, are no strangers.  Both played their college football in the Sun Belt Conference meeting each year in the Shula Bowl.

Morris finished the game with 107 yards on 14 carries and a TD and may have locked up a spot on the roster.  Hilton caught 4 passes for 54 yards and a TD and may receive playing time during the regular season based on his productive preseason play.

Washington came out on top over Indianapolis 30-17.

RGIII and Luck both had solid numbers.  Neither are expected to play again until week 1 of the regular season.

Washington's last preseason game is Wednesday night at 7pm ET against Tampa Bay.

The Colts last preseason game is Thursday night at 7pm ET against Cincinnati.

Chad Johnson Missing From Twitter

It's been an astonishing 19 hours since Chad Johnson last tweeted.  Something must have happened to him.  He rarely goes half an hour without a new tweet.

Well, something did happen.  He headbutted his wife during an argument and was arrested on a domestic violence charge.

It's going to be rough for Chad in a cell while he detoxes from tweeting.

I'm sure he'll relapse and be right back to tweeting once he gets bailed out today.

It will undoubtedly be an interesting tweet.  The next most interesting one will be when he tweets about getting cut from the Dolphins.

Pittsburgh Steelers George Zimmerman Connection

Tonight the Pittsburgh Steelers open up pre-season play against the Philadelphia Eagles.

For the Steelers sake, let's hope they have a better year than the guy sporting one of their jackets in this photo.




LeBron James is Jesus

LeBron James compiled the first ever triple double in Olympic basketball history in USA's blow out win over Australia yesterday.

His out of this world play is quickly turning him into a basketball God.

I work for a Florida Home Inspection company and going through some reports today I came across the proof that LeBron really is the chosen one.
