Joey Harrington officially wants to be a Miami Dolphin. The Miami Dolphins want Joey Harrington. Now, Matt Millen just needs to let it happen. The Dolphins have reportedly worked out a two year deal for Joey. Now, he just needs to be released or traded. This will not be a problem as Harrington is due a $4 million dollar roster bonus in June. The trade implications are bleak though, with Detroit reportedly wanting a third or fourth round pick in next weekend's draft while the Fins are suggesting a sixth rounder in next year's draft.
Harrington will be backing up new Dolphin, Daunte Culpepper. Given Culpepper's history of injurt, Joey may be at the helm sooner than you might think. It could be a potent offense. The Dolphins are stacked at running back with Ronnie Brown, Travis Minor, and Fred Beasley. They also have some guys to catch the ball in Chris Chambers, Marty Booker, Kelly Campbell, and Cliff Russell. They also may or may not have David Boston at that position as well. On paper, it is not as talented a core as the Lions' receivers but as Lions fans know, the paper does not parallel reality.
Harrington will join fellow Michigan State Alumn Josh Shaw and Renaldo Hill, and Charlie Baggett (asst. coach). He also joins former MSU coaches Nick Saban and Bobby Williams.
Andy and many others want to see Joey succeed. I have never been fond of the guy since he was drafted by Detroit in 2002 with the 3rd overall pick. If the Lions were dead set in a quarterback in that draft, they did OK, considering the only other two quarterbacks taken in the first two rounds were David Carr and Patrick Ramsey. Ironically, the next quarterback drafted after those guys: The 13th pick in the 3rd round, Josh McCown.
I will be interested to see if Joey develops as a quarterback or starts laying in the sun, hanging out with Ricky Williams.

jon you need to tell the other "contributors" to get their act together. guys, jon needs to cahoot w/ someone. -c
oh yeah, i forgot. go joey!
Ah, it is OK. At this point in my life, I have become accustomed to being in cahoots by myself.
I am most like the Styx song, Too Much Time on my Hands. Other people such as EKG and AZ have lives. I can't blame them for that.
its probably because they both think they are like the styx song "Renegade"
but you heard it here- they are not, its all a "Grand Illuison."

i'll be back.
If the Dolphins are stacked at running back, then the Spartans are stacked at defensive back.
I should have written a disclaimer about that section. The word Could in the phrase could have a potent offense should have been bolded and made bigger. Any team that Joey Harrington is at the helm of will probably not have a potent offense. It was all supposed to have a semi-sarcastic appeal to it. I am not a good writer though and can not express emotion through my words.
You can say what you want about Spartan football. I am jaded.
The overall state of Miami Dolphins football will not be good. They will not, (you heard it here first, NOT!) improve on their 9-7 record from last year.
I don't know why I am arguing about Miami Dolphins football. The whole point of the post was Joey Harrington. I am sorry Morgie, I will stop now.
I love the Styx references. Anonymous rulez!
i heart joey.
