Welcome to Miami...

who this week join the winner's circle, with QB Cleo Lemon leading the team to victory in OT. How sweet it is!, eh?

With the early season dismissal of ex-Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper, QB Trent Green knocked out early on with a concussion, and QB draftee Jon Beck stuggling (despite his age, he's still a rookie, remember?)... they struggled mightily. But today, the team won.

There's talk owner Wayne Huizenga will sell -- he's a smart businessman (Waste Management, Blockbuster) and in the past has always practiced "Sell High". (Blockbuster, Marlins, Panthers). But they say if he gets his price, it wouldn't be so bad to sell while the team season record is in the cellar. Still, one of the potential buyers "talked", the media picked up on the deal, and a guy like Wayne H. has no need to cash in his chips just yet...

So while it's not the Super Bowl, I'm betting there are some pretty toasted fans in Florida right now savoring the sweetness. You forget how much winning really matters until you've gone about a full year without a "W". Congrats to Lemon and the rest!
