In a city now known more for the Pat Riley formed “Big 3” or the million dollar scoreboard in the Marlin’s new playpen, the “Miami Dolphins” look to swift America’s attention to south beach in stride to the start of the 2012 NFL campaign.
In a division that is home to the talents on Tom Brady, Rex Ryan, Stevie Johnson and now Mario Williams and Tim Tebow the Dolphins don’t have many household names taking the field on sunday afternoons.
