Awww, shit. there are three teams I hate in the NFL, the Cowboys the Raiders and the fuckin' Dolphins. The only team that could make me root for the Raiders is the Cowboys, the only teams that could make me root for the Dolphins are the Cowboys and the Raiders. Good By Tedd. You gave me some great memories, but you're on your own now. But if you should just happen run right by Leon Hall in Bengal town, I'll high five the person nearest me and laugh.

Man, Mark May just went super negative on Ginn and Cam Cameron. I'll have to admit I didn't see Teddy catch to many balls in traffic or going across the middle the way Gonzo would, but the kid sure had some hands and speed.

From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Dolphins pass on Quinn for WR Ginn

By Keven Lerner and Alex Marvez | Sun-Sentinel.com
Posted April 28, 2007, 3:32 PM EDT
With Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn still available, the Dolphins surprisingly took Ohio State wide receiver/returner Ted Ginn, Jr. with the ninth pick in today's NFL Draft.
Dolphins coach Cam Cameron and general manager Randy Mueller were facing pressure to fix the quarterback situation for a team that has gone five seasons without a playoff appearance. Quinn would have been considered the young quarterback prodigy the Dolphins have lacked since Dan Marino's arrival in 1983. The Dolphins haven't drafted a quarterback since Josh Heupel in 2001.
Quinn slid all the way to No. 22, when he was taken by Cleveland. The Browns acquired the pick from Dallas in exchange for their No. 2 pick this year and their No. 1 next year.
Thirty minutes after selecting Ginn, Cameron made a three-minute appearance at a draft party in the Dolphins' indoor practice bubble. Fans greeted him with boos and continued to jeer as he spoke, and some made a thumbs-down gesture.
"Hey, we need that thumb to go this direction," Cameron said, pointing his upward. "Ted Ginn is going to be someone you're going to enjoy watching play for a long, long time as a Miami Dolphin."
During Cameron's speech, some fans began to cheer for Ginn. Others responded with a chant of "Brady! Brady! Brady!"
Fans had geared up for Miami to select a quarterback in the opening round for only the third time in 40 years.

Hmmmmm, A whole lot of people weren't buying all that ND crap. I was surprised at the lack of interest in Ginn prior to the draft. That kind of speed and balance just isn't available every draft. He may not go over the middle, but he draws folks off of other receivers and if you miss him at the LOS it can be 6.

Ohio State roundup

Ginn instead of Quinn causes buzz

Buckeye flanker goes at No. 9 to Dolphins; Colts select Gonzalez

By Marla Ridenour

Beacon Journal sportswriter

BEREA - Ted Ginn Jr. might not play for the Browns, but on Saturday, he became part of the team's lore.
The Miami Dolphins' infatuation with Ohio State's junior flanker caused them to bypass Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and take the speedster from Glenville High School with the ninth overall pick.
The Dolphins' stunning move allowed Quinn to fall to No. 22, and the Browns pulled off a trade with the Dallas Cowboys to land him.

Dolphins first-round draft pick, Ted Ginn Jr. of Ohio State, poses for a picture after landing at Hollywood International Airport on Saturday night.
TED GINN JR.

Ginn Jr. honing a blue-collar ethic

Ted Ginn Jr., the Dolphins' first-round selection in the NFL Draft, comes from a background in which hard work and family ties were stressed.

People talking about Ted Ginn Jr. inevitably mention Ted Ginn Sr. That happens when Junior becomes a star football player and Senior is a renowned coach in a football-mad state like Ohio.
Take Dolphins wide receiver Chris Chambers. When Ginn Jr. came down to visit the Dolphins, Chambers took him to South Beach, ran him by Dolphins Stadium and took him out to dinner. Chambers said they ``bonded.''
And how long has he known Ginn Jr.? Since, Chambers claims, Ginn Sr. and one of Chambers uncles helped con him into playing football -- ''I didn't want to play football, I was a basketball player'' -- at Cleveland Glenville High School.
''He instilled a lot of discipline in me,'' Chambers said of Ginn Sr. ``He instilled a lot of work ethic. I think that's the same stuff his son Ted has.''
