FanHouse Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Davone Bess wants to press charges against someone who was impersonating him on Twitter -- an impostor who used Twitter to chat with fans and even provoked other NFL players into responding to his tweets.

The impostor, who used the name Lambo_Weezy on Twitter, did everything from exchanging tweets with fans to challenging Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson to a race, all while passing himself off as Bess. (Johnson, on the Twitter page that really is his, was dismissive of Lambo_Weezy's challenge.)

While there is speculation of Michael Vick eventually becoming a Dolphin, Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole has a pretty firm story that says Vick won't be playing in the NFL anytime soon. Cole also says that wide receiver Plaxico Burress is facing an indefinite suspension as well, which would put a giant bucket of cold water on any hopes he has of landing a solid free agent deal.

Cole cites three sources with knowledge of the situation. According to them, commissioner Roger Goodell will continue to throw his weight around when it comes to suspensions. He's already slapped wide receiver Donte Stallworth with an indefinite suspension after Stallworth pled guilty to DUI manslaughter. One of Cole's sources says its likely that Vick will be suspended for the entire 2009 season as well, which would mean he would be out of football for three seasons, making any return even tougher in 2010.

It's impossible to find an NFL head coach or general manager who is willing to say that he wants to sign Michael Vick, but former NFL coach Dennis Green, now coaching for the start-up UFL, thinks he knows where Vick will end up.

As he sees it, Bill Parcells wants Vick, and if Parcells wants something, he's going to get it. So he thinks Vick will end up as a Dolphin.

"I have a hard time believing that Michael Vick is not going to wind up with Bill Parcells, simply because he has that creativeness that says that no matter what it takes, he's going to find a way to get Michael Vick," Green told Sirius NFL Radio. "Now, whether it means convincing the commissioner or whatever it takes, Michael Vick is probably going to wind up at Miami because of the fact that Bill Parcells is Bill Parcells."

A man claiming to be Miami Dolphins rookie cornerback Vontae Davis was arrested on June 9 in Champaign, Ill., where Davis played college football for the Fighting Illini. But Davis insists that he was nowhere near Champaign, and that someone stole his wallet and his identity.

The student newspaper at Illinois, the Daily Illini, reported on the arrest this week. It was only when the Daily Illini's report was picked up by news outlets in Florida that Davis learned the Champaign police were saying they had arrested him.

Quarterback Pat White was a second-round pick by the Miami Dolphins in April's NFL Draft. But he wasn't done being drafted. To White's surprise, he was selected in the 48th round of last week's baseball amateur draft by the New York Yankees.

White hasn't played baseball since high school, but he was pretty good back then -- good enough to get drafted in the fourth round of the 2004 MLB draft by Anaheim. He turned down the Angels and went on to have a stellar college career at West Virginia, presumably leaving baseball behind for good. But the Yankees like him enough as an athlete that they took a low-risk chance.

When the Dolphins drafted Pat White in the second round six weeks ago, everybody thought it was a deft move. Miami reintroduced the Wildcat to the NFL after nearly a 50-year hiatus, went from a one-win outfit to AFC East champs in a year, and instead of using this offseason to move to a more traditional offense, they've decided to play to their strengths, even if it's not conventional. And that means more Wildcat, and now with players who better fit the scheme.

But shortly after selecting White, the Dolphins announced that he was more than a trick-play specialist, he'd get a shot to win the quarterback job next season. The team drafted Chad Henne in Round 2 a year ago, and they seemed happy with his progress, so I didn't take the White comments seriously. That said, if he's most valuable under center, then it makes sense to put him there.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Look, the NFL offseason is freaking boring. I know, I know, if you're reading this, you're a die-hard and you can't get enough NFL news, even in June. But the fact is there's little-to-nothing going on this time of year. Which is why you've got to love Jets coach Rex Ryan and Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder for spicing things up the way they have the past couple of days.

Ryan and Crowder have been hooked up in a little war of words for the past week. And their dispute, rooted in Ryan's tough talk about not being intimidated by anybody else in the AFC East and Crowder's hurt feelings on behalf of a division-champion team that he feels isn't being given enough credit for its 2008 accomplishment, continued today.

I didn't go to Jets minicamp to listen to Rex Ryan Tuesday. Decided to go Wednesday instead. But it looks like I missed all the fun. During his news conference, the Jets' trash-talking head coach fired back at Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder for comments Crowder made last week about him.

"I don't know this Channing Crowder," Ryan said, unprompted, in the middle of his opening remarks to the media. "But all I know is that he's all tatted up so I need to be nervous about him. He's right about one thing. I am a first-time head coach. But I've been around the game all my life. I'm no different now than I've ever been. It's just that more people are listening."

Well, whaddya know, Joey Porter is back at the complaint department. The easily irritated Dolphin linebacker doesn't like all this talk about the Patriots being the favorite to win the AFC East in 2009.

"I don't understand how you can put somebody in front of us. We won the championship. We were AFC East champions. I just don't think it's supposed to happen like that. You've got to beat somebody to be the champs. We had to beat somebody to be the champs."

The only problem with Porter's reasoning is that the Dolphins had to beat the Chargers to be the champs.

Dolphins defensive lineman Randy Starks allegedly broke a few obvious Memorial Weekend rules: first, don't pile 13 people in your four-person-carrying truck. Second, when an police officer approaches your truck full of people, stop driving.

According to the Miami Herald, Starks' decision to keep his black freight-liner in motion after being approached by the officer resulted in his arrest on charges of aggravated assault.
