Are you ready for some Turmoil Bowl?

Turmoil Bowl — troubled Dolphins vs. winless Bucs
For three hours, two franchises' problems will be televised nationally

TAMPA — Here we go again. That splash you just heard was the Miami Dolphins being thrown back into the turbulent pool of controversy for another day as the nation watches and judges.

The only difference Monday is they play a game, an actual game, on ESPN's "Monday Night Football," which is good and bad news considering the Dolphins' current plight.

First, the bad news, of which there's been a lot lately: There will be three nationally televised hours during this game to navigate the acidic finger-pointing, explosive legal statements and various ugly sub-plots of the Jonathan Martin saga that took another surprise twist Sunday.

The good news: The Dolphins' opponent, Tampa Bay, is covered in a layer of misery of its own. Even if Tampa Bay's winless season is only a football story, it might take a few minutes of televised conversation away from the Dolphins.

I think I'll watch the JFK special on PBS. He only was an ass to his wife.

That would be 50% of the total that the Florida teams have won over the first nine weeks of the season.

Unless the game ends in a tie tonight.
