As of this writing Daniel Kilgore Jersey , we are still waiting, after about three hours worth of delays, in two installments, for the Miami Dolphins to resume their game at Hard Rock Stadium against the Tennessee Titans. Three hours, as you’re probably aware, is about the length of a typical NFL game -- including halftime and all TV timeouts. Looking at the technical aspects of the phenomenon that we refer to as lightning, there are two basic types: cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground. While it’s obviously the latter that we’re concerned with, the presence of one generally results in the presence of the other. Here’s the problem, though, at least as it relates to the likelihood, or even the possibility Youth Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey , of a lightning strike injuring a player or fan at a sporting venue like Hard Rock Stadium: because the Dolphins’ home stadium now has a roof affixed to the top of it, and because lightning almost always strikes the highest point in a given vicinity when it reaches the earth, it would be virtually impossible for a bolt to come down from the skies above Dade County, pass through the rectangular aperture in the stadium’s roof and strike a player or official on the field of play below.That’s number one; number two is that with the fans attending the game almost completely protected by the recently installed roof above the stadium, it would would be even more prohibitively unlikely for a bolt to descend from the sky above, pass through the opening in the roof over the stadium and then make an ‘L’ shaped turn and strike an unsuspecting fan who is sitting in the stands. In other words, it would have to be a pretty smart bolt to take that kind of electrical path. Any meteorologist would tell us that even if a bolt of lightning were to strike near the top of the stadium, it would, based simply on the laws of physics, hit the top of the superstructure that supports the roof, rather than passing through the roof and down onto the field or fan concourse below.Now Josh Sitton Jersey , I understand that the league has to err on the side of caution in cases like this, and to be sure, about 35 people are killed every year in the U.S. by lighting. We can all agree that it would be absolutely catastrophic if someone were struck by an errant bolt of lightning from the heavens above, but this, to me, amounts to a case of ridiculous overkill on the part of the NFL. After all, if we’re worried about someone being injured or killed by a lightning strike, then, theoretically, couldn’t someone have died from hypothermia in the 1967 ‘Ice Bowl’ in Green Bay in the legendary championship game between the Cowboys and Packers?How about that AFC Championship game in January 1982, at Cincinnati Andrew Van Ginkel white jersey , between the Chargers and Bengals? But then again, this isn’t 1967 or 1982, this is 2018, and in 2018, and what took place at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon is emblematic of our society today. When we come upon a fly, our reaction is to go and get ourselves the biggest, heaviest sledgehammer we can find and make darn sure we kill that fly.Since I don’t live in South Florida, and this game is not being televised in Chicago, I don’t know how close the storm was to the stadium, or how much lightning activity was actually taking place; I’d like to hear from our readers who were at the game or were watching it on television, and hear your thoughts on this. Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier promised in April that safety Reshad Jones “is going to be here.” But now comes word from Barry Jackson of the that the team prefers to trade Jones Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , if they get a deal to their liking.Jones has skipped the team’s voluntary offseason program but is expected to attend this week’s mandatory minicamp. The Dolphins have had cornerback Bobby McCain practicing at safety in Jones’ absence, with McCain joining T.J. McDonald and Minkah Fitzpatrick in giving Miami plenty of depth at the position.Jones, 31, is rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery and not expected to be in the Dolphins’ long-term rebuilding plans. He has a $17.2 million salary cap charge, but if the Dolphins can trade him, they will have only $4 million in dead money and $13 million in cap savings.As Jackson points out, it would not benefit the Dolphins to cut Jones since they would have a $17.1 million dead money hit, and $11 million of his $13 million base salary this season in guaranteed. But who is going trade for Jones and pay him that salary? The Dolphins likely are going to have the two-time Pro Bowler on their roster this season, making Grier’s April assurance true.
