Published December 19, 2007

| “Between estate planning, greater earning potential and not wanting to have the headache anymore it would be more a question why he would not sell.” |
| The Nasty Boys’ Sports Blog Posted by: Matt |
| “The team can’t get much worse than it is now meaning the price can’t get much lower. Huizenga might as well weather the storm at this point” |
| PhinzMania Posted by: Ga. FinFan |
| “With Wayne's history of buying and selling sports teams I'm not really surprised. In the back of my mind I've always felt that he would sell.” |

| “Dell provides cheap prices but customers receive crappy performance for their dollar, which is a stark contrast to the Miami Dolphin franchise. … Oh wait…” |
| State Of Miami Posted by: Aldo Quintanilla |
| “Him leaving might be best for both parties. He has invested way too much in this franchise to get these kinds of results.” |
