Breaking Down Poyer’s
Jordan Poyer is now a member of the Miami Dolphins, but he was back in Buffalo this weekend for longtime safety partner Micah Hyde’s softball charity event.
A former draft pick of Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins (at the time known as the Florida Marlins) as a high schooler, Poyer clearly knows how to swing a bat. He also knows the right things to say at a public event.
So it was that Poyer took to the microphone before stepping up to bad and expressed his gratitude to the Bills and their fans for the seven seasons he spent in Buffalo before he was released this offseason and subsequently signed with the Dolphins.
And this is where he made a comment that was met with cheers from those in attendance but might not play so well down in South Florida.
“For seven years, I played here and I loved every minute of it,” Poyer said. “I’m sorry we couldn’t get it done … but, y’all got the best quarterback in the league (he said while pointing his bat toward Josh Allen) … I know that might go viral, but that’s OK.”
SHOULD POYER HAVE MADE HIS JOSH ALLEN COMMENT?
It’s perfectly understandable for a player to have a lot of love for his former team, something we’ve seen quite frequently expressed by Tyreek Hill when he talks about the Kansas City Chiefs.
And Poyer may or may not have been playing to the crowd with his comment about Josh Allen and it certainly was the right place and the right time to do it.
But the flip side is that Allen no longer is Poyer’s quarterback. Tua Tagovailoa is Poyer’s quarterback now.
So maybe Poyer could have expressed his support — even admiration — for Allen without having to call him the “best quarterback in the league.”
Since he got to the Dolphins, Hill has made it a point to sign Tua’s praises at every turn and it seems like that’s what one would expect a veteran newcomer — especially a high-profile one — to do.
Now, this isn’t to suggest that Poyer should be calling Tua the best QB in the league and maybe he does legitimately feel that way about Allen.
But could he not have praised his former QB in a different way? Did he need to make a comment that, like he said, he knew would go viral?
Just wondering.
An investigation is underway in Miami Gardens after police say a toddler was bitten in the face by two pit bulls on Tuesday.
Miami Garden police told CBS News Miami that officers responded to reports of a dog bite involving a child in the 3600 block of Northwest 191st Street just before 7 p.m.
When officers arrived, they said they were told that a 2-year-old was in the backyard of a home when he was bitten in the face by two pit bulls.
The child was rushed to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
No other information was released, and police said the incident remains under investigation.
What I would have done is taken my lumps and rolled with Ewers during the 2026 season. From my understanding, the reality of Willis’ deal is two years x 22.5M. After that, the Dolphins can part with him, no harm, no foul. Hiwever, don’t you think that the Dolphins could have used that money, considering their salary cap situation, in other areas? Yeah, to me, this is a textbook Steve Ross engineered deal where the Dolphins are bidding against themselves and hoping against hope that they’re not as bad as they’re predicted to be.
As for Willis, he reminds me of another ex-Green Bay QB named Matt Flynn. Like Willis, Flynn was the 2nd string QB at GB and shined in a couple of relief appearances for Aaron Rodgers during the 2011 season. He is best remembered in Green Bay for his record-setting 480-yard, 6-touchdown game in 2011 versus the Lions. That set him up for a big contract with Seattle, but he never really did anything there due to the emergence of Russell Wilson.
Former CBS News Miami anchor and longtime South Florida resident Eliott Rodriguez announced his candidacy for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 27th Congressional District on Tuesday morning.
He will now embark on a campaign that’s centered on lowering the high cost of living, restoring accountability in Washington, D.C., and bringing people together to deliver results for families in Miami-Dade, his campaign said in the announcement.
“I didn’t plan to run for Congress,” Rodriguez said in his announcement. “But I cannot stay silent. For 48 years, you trusted me to tell the truth and listen to your stories. Today, like so many families, I am concerned that Washington is not delivering for South Florida. My parents taught me that citizenship is not just a right – it is a responsibility. And now, I am answering that call.”
Why is Eliott Rodriguez running for Congress?
In his announcement, Rodriguez explained why he decided to run for Congress. He said the decision was deeply personal.
In recent months, he said he’s spoken with families, seniors, small business owners and young people who are struggling to afford to stay in a community they love.
“South Florida has now become one of the least affordable housing markets in the United States, with families here spending more of their income on rent and mortgages than almost anywhere in the country,” Rodriguez said in his announcement.
According to the campaign, Florida’s 27th Congressional District is widely viewed as one of the most competitive battlegrounds in the country.
In the race for Congress, Rodriguez will challenge incumbent María Elvira Salazar.
