The Miami Dolphins finished last season with an 8-9 record and failed to qualify for the NFL playoffs. The disappointing year sparked ire from some of the Dolphins' faithful. 

Dolphins general manager Chris Grier spoke to the media on Wednesday, the day after trimming the team’s roster to 53 by the league’s deadline. Grier spoke about the general structure of the roster entering the 2025 campaign and also touched on the status of specific players as Week 1 draws closer.

But the media session took a turn when Grier revealed fan angst had resulted in emails targeting his children.

"If I'm out, people have always been respectful and nice, and they just say ‘Hey, keep going. Appreciate you.’ The guys to my face have been nice. I know there's people that are upset… (but) that's any job," Grier said.

Grier acknowledged the angst that last season's ending sparked.

"And if I was comfortable and saying I felt what things are, then I’m an a--h---  …because I'm not being realistic about where we are as a team and where things are going …after last season. I’m frustrated like [them] that we didn’t win enough games last year. I understand that, I don’t take things personally. When I'm out, people have generally been very positive and stuff to me."

"I've gotten some colorful emails from a couple of people.....[one] hoping my kids die of cancer," Grier said. "That’s a fun one. That’s why I don’t take things very personal or real because other people have other issues and stuff in life."

Grier was elevated to the Dolphins' general manager post in 2016. He joined the franchise as a scout in 2000. 

As it relates to pressing roster matters, Grier confirmed that cornerback Cam Smith will start the regular season on the non-football injury list. Smith appeared in six games during the 2024 season.

Grier gave a positive update on running back De’Von Achane’s availability for the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. Achane has recently been contending with a calf injury.

"All indications for us is that Achane will be ready Week 1 to go," Grier told reporters on Wednesday.

Martha Stewart is ready to plan the wedding of the year – if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are willing to hand her the reins. 

Just hours after news broke that the pop superstar and NFL tight end were engaged, Stewart, 84, made her pitch loud and clear in a viral Instagram post – and she brought wine.

The lifestyle mogul shared a cheeky split-screen post featuring a snapshot from Swift and Kelce’s romantic engagement shoot alongside a video of herself sipping a glass of white wine, which she casually dubbed "the nectar of the Gods."

TAYLOR SWIFT AND NFL STAR TRAVIS KELCE ARE ENGAGED AFTER 2 YEARS TOGETHER

In the caption, she wrote, "It’s time to call in the ultimate wedding planner."

In 1994, Stewart launched Martha Stewart Weddings, an annual magazine that expanded to a quarterly in 1999. Now a full-fledged digital platform, it’s still a go-to for luxury weddings and all things bridal.

Whether or not Swift and Kelce will take her up on the offer is still unknown, but fans are already imagining the floral arrangements and cake towers that could come with a Stewart-led celebration.

Swift and Kelce, both 35, announced their engagement Tuesday after two years together.

The couple announced their major relationship milestone on Instagram with the caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

In the series of sweet photos the pop superstar shared, Kelce could be seen down on one knee as Swift caressed his face during the intimate moment.

The "Love Story" singer began dating Kelce in 2023.

Swift is notoriously private about her relationships, and while their exact timeline is unclear, she was first spotted at a Chiefs game on Sept. 24, 2023.

She previously admitted in an interview with TIME magazine that they actually began dating long before she appeared in the stands.

"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she said. "We started hanging out right after that. So, we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other."

She added, "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple."

Since then, the "Cruel Summer" singer has formed a close friendship with Brittany Mahomes and Kelce’s mom, Donna. The three were previously spotted on the field celebrating an AFC championship win.
