      Updating previous reports, Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins OT Mark Dixon (ankle) missed practice to receive an MRI exam on his right ankle.

                          Seau aims to rebound from shaky exhibition

                          JACKSONVILLE - He says the entire team is out for vengeance in those ads promoting Dolphins season tickets, but now Junior Seau's quest is more personal. Tonight against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seau is trying to avenge his good name.

                          After earning 12 consecutive Pro Bowl honors and all but ensuring a future place in the Hall of Fame, Seau had a couple of tough moments last week in his first preseason game with his new team.

                          NFL analyst Ron Jaworski saw Seau get beaten on a 28-yard pass play against Tampa Bay and asked whether the 34-year-old ``has anything left in the tank.''

                          ''He doesn't,'' Jaworski concluded, which suddenly raised questions as to whether Seau is too lost, too flawed, or worse, too old, to make a difference for the Dolphins.

                          You think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!

                            Seau Enjoys New Life in Dolphins' Fishbowl

                            Zach Thomas used to room with Junior Seau. Said hello to him every day.

                            Years later, they met.

                            "When I was in college [at Texas Tech], I had a signed poster of him up on my wall," said Thomas, the Pro Bowl middle linebacker for the Miami Dolphins. "My roommate's dad knew somebody in the San Diego organization, and he knew Junior was my favorite player, so he got it signed."

                            The inscription: "To Zach, Be your best."

                            The poster is long gone, but the sentiment is still there. Seau was traded to the Dolphins in April, after 13 seasons and 12 Pro Bowls with the San Diego Chargers, and now he's determined to prove Miami made the right move

                              Not much means anything this early, Dolphins veterans say

                              DAVIE -- The Dolphins' starters could look as out of sorts in their second exhibition game tonight at Jacksonville as they were in their first one last week against Tampa Bay.

                              It's also possible what looks bad for the Dolphins in the exhibition season will continue to look bad come the regular season. Or it could be that their performance in the exhibition season has little or no relevance to the regular season.

                              Truth is, it may be impossible to tell.

                              That's partly because exhibition game plans are minimal and the Dolphins still are trying to find good fits for a handful of players. Perhaps more than that, it's tough to get a handle on experienced teams like the Dolphins because their established veterans really aren't going all out in the exhibition season.

                              You think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!
