and he just picked Palm Beach County out of the air?
Why not Broward?
Why not another neighboring County?

Yes
Who knows
Who knows.

It's not like Dee brought up Palm Beach County, it was a reporter. Are you implying that the reporter was the one with behind the scenes knowledge of some arrangement with Palm Beach County?

If the answer to that question is yes, my next question would be "Are you high?"

Maybe the reporter was told something, has uncovered something, or was leaked something that he can't go public with yet cause it will reveal his source or he can't verify his original source and needs another source to back it up. So he asked Dee the question hoping to get a hard answer or more info. He didn't get that type of answer, but it's not a crazy notion. It happens all the time. It's called a reporter "working a story." Take a journalism class for christ sakes!

If the reporter asked "if Belichick offered to trade you Brady for Tannehill?"  Dee would have responded the same way, "we would consider it"
Nah, he would have said, "I don't fucking THINK so!!!!"  LOL

When your response to a post is "why don't you take a chemistry class?" and the reply is, "I have, because I'm a professional chemist," the correct response is to shut up and drop the subject.

Furthermore, I fail to understand how making claims about secret deals that cannot be disproven has anything to do with "journalism."  That's almost literally the opposite of journalism; it takes no effort at all to serve up fact-free hypotheticals about how maybe Stephen Ross is in negotiations to sell the Dolphins to Magic Johnson.

Nobody is making a claim about anything, I just don't think every news item reported is "made up" or a pulled out of thin air. There has to be a "first report" at some point on issues! One reporter just pulled Palm Beach County out of thin air? Mike Dee could have just said, nope not true. He didn't! Sorry I don't buy it, the reporter could have asked about 4 neighboring counties but he asked about that one  specifically. Dee could have just denied it like he has when asked about Ross selling the team, he can give a STRAIGHT ANSWER to that question but not this one? Tell me why? One reporter asks a simple question that he doesn't get a straight answer too, another reporter from another paper wrote an article on the subject because he feels there is more to this story that is worth investigating at this point...yet nope it's all a lie, could never happen, and people who don't follow this subject and who don't even talk with anyone involved know more than the reporters themselves. Everyone is making stuff up! Yeah...sure!

Clearly. But at least EK didn't use bad comedy lines and horrible attempts at sarcasm in every post thinking he is some  stand up comedian! I would tell Stroke he isn't funny and to stick to his day job but if he is claiming to be a reporter/writer in his day job well he clearly sucks at that too!

(don't be ofended Sunstroke, above was just sarcasm and humor...no biggie. I can play that card too. Just say anything ya want and claim its "a joke" and "sarcasm" don't get worked up over it)

Ben Volin adding onto the "Palm Beach report"...

Earlier this year, a high-ranking team source told the Palm Beach Post that the Dolphins likely wouldn’t consider trying to build a stadium in Broward County because elected officials there have shown little interest in providing public funds for the team.

But the source said that the team would investigate sites in Palm Beach County, most likely in the western portion of Delray Beach or Boynton Beach.

Hmm, that question by the reporter is starting to make a little more sense now uh!
