Dumb Dolphins - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

While all of that may come off as strong and aggressive to some people, it’s really stupid.

Why? Whether the Dolphins want to have Taylor play for them this season (which they apparently don’t) or whether they want to trade Taylor, what Sparano said helps neither cause.

First, if they somehow want Taylor around (again, that seems impossible to believe at this point), what Sparano said only alienates the Dolphins from their best player. Second, if the Dolphins want to trade Taylor, they have only decreased his value by making it appear they don’t want him.

Sure, some people will argue Sparano’s statements make it clear who is in charge to the rest of the team. That sounds macho, but it’s really shortsighted.
