Griese to have physical today
DAVIE -- Some time this afternoon Brian Griese will be reintroduced to South Florida with his No. 14 Dolphins' jersey.
Griese is scheduled to undergo a physical this morning before signing his two-year deal that includes a $1 million signing bonus and incentives worth around $2 million. Though the Dolphins would have liked Griese to have worked in last week's quarterback school, he will begin work with offensive coordinator Norv Turner this week and will take his first snaps at the next quarterback school June 16-18...

Griese signs; QB issue likely to hover
Quarterback Brian Griese and coach Dave Wannstedt had an intriguing reaction as they stepped back into literal and figurative heat that defines South Florida and the Dolphins.
They couldn't have been more relaxed.
On Monday, Griese officially returned home when he signed a two-year contract with the Dolphins. In the process, Wannstedt turned the screws on what figures to be yet another season filled with fans and media discussing a quarterback controversy between Griese and starter Jay Fiedler....

Dolphins offer Griese a chance to get it right
DAVIE -- In Denver, one of America's most aggressive and intrusive sports media markets, Brian Griese's guard always was up.
New to the NFL, he was the cocky kid trying to sound as certain as John Elway in the huddle. One Pro Bowl season said he might just pull it off, rallying the Broncos to greatness the way he did the national champion Michigan Wolverines, but then the interceptions starting coming, and so did the headlines for a DUI and some other embarrassing off-field incidents, and, worst of all, so did the late-season flameouts for a team accustomed to Super Bowl parades....

Wannstedt, Griese agree: Fiedler is No. 1
DAVIE -- Dave Wannstedt knows quarterback controversies. He had his share in Chicago with Erik Kramer and Rick Mirer, but nothing can compare to his first year as the Dolphins' head coach in 2000.
His choice then was Damon Huard or Jay Fiedler. Dan Marino, the legend to be replaced, publicly campaigned for Huard, his buddy.
But Wannstedt named Fiedler, who threw four interceptions in his only exhibition appearance, the starter and then watched Fiedler throw three straight incompletions in his first game at Pro Player Stadium...

Griese happy to be Jay's backup
DAVIE -- Brian Griese seemed relieved to escape the pressure of following John Elway in Denver, while Dave Wannstedt is determined to handle the pressure of coaching a former Pro Bowl quarterback as the backup to Jay Fiedler.
In that sense Griese, introduced Monday after signing a two-year contract, and the Dolphins look to be a good fit.
Wannstedt and team owner H. Wayne Huizenga have cited the play of 2002 backup Ray Lucas as a major reason the Dolphins missed the playoffs. Now they have a backup who has won recently as a starter, a luxury few teams enjoy...

In June, a peaceable kingdom
Well, what did you expect to happen? Dave Wannstedt to fling open the Dolphins' quarterback job? Brian Griese to ride into town wearing a sheriff's badge?
Jay Fiedler to say, "Bring him on," and Dolphins players to start choosing sides? In June?...

QB Akili Smith is off team's shopping list
Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt said after the team signed quarterback Brian Griese that Miami is no longer interested in former Cincinnati quarterback Akili Smith.
''We're out of the quarterback market,'' Wannstedt said after being asked about Smith, who was the No. 3 overall pick in 1999....

Bob Griese's early gift for Father's Day: son's return
Bob Griese was the cerebral, unemotional Dolphins quarterback who became the efficient, analytical ABC Sports college football announcer. Griese and gregarious have seldom appeared in the same sentence. There always has been a wall there, a guard up to keep intruders from getting too close.
''We are not outgoing people,'' Griese said of his clan. ``We don't love the limelight.''
This was different then. A human side not often or easily shown for public consumption....

Happy homecoming for Grieses
DAVIE -- As Kenny Mixon rumbled down the field two years ago for a 56-yard interception return for a touchdown against Denver, the people inside the luxury box at Pro Player Stadium were ecstatic.
All but one of them. Bob Griese was conflicted because his former team would eventually win the game, but his youngest son, Brian, threw the clinching interception.
"My good friend, coach Don Shula and all of our other friends, were jumping up and down and I didn't feel so good about that," Griese said. "The good thing is I've only got one team now, and I can divert all my energies to that team."...

Elder Griese likes son's chance in Miami
Dolphins great Bob Griese said a big part of him wanted son Brian to play in his native South Florida, but a bigger part of him wanted Brian to find a better quarterback situation than in Denver, where he had been dumped in favor of Jake Plummer.
Griese believes those hopes intersected perfectly when Brian signed with the Dolphins on Monday. Brian will play for the organization his father helped win two Super Bowl titles from 1967-80 while getting a break from what the elder Griese said were "unfair" expectations with the Broncos....

Gadsden might re-sign
Sources: Deal may be soon; Freeman signs
Two sources close to Oronde Gadsden said the receiver has told them he plans to re-sign with the Dolphins relatively soon, perhaps in time to participate in the final quarterback school next week.
Gadsden is the remaining free agent starter from last season whom the Dolphins haven't signed. Gadsden and agent Michael Todd could not be reached for comment.
The Dolphins had no comment on the talks, although coach Dave Wannstedt has said repeatedly the team is willing to re-sign Gadsden to a one-year offer for the veteran minimum of $530,000...

Signing of Griese has shades of '72
Spooky. I'm crawling down South Dixie Highway, the automotive equivalent of trying to run against the Tampa Bay Bucs, when Bob Griese's confident voice fills the car radio. Unmistakably Griese.
But why is he telling Hank Goldberg how nice it will be to play in Pro Player Stadium? Bob Griese mostly made his Hall of Fame bones in the Orange Bowl.
Takes me a few seconds. I'm a slow study, if anyone hasn't guessed. Goldberg is interviewing Griese, but it's Bob's son Brian, just checking into the Dolphins picture. Brian is 28, a year older than his dad was in That Perfect Season, and the sameness of their voices raises the hair right up the back of your head...
