Dolphins' veteran players let out anger

They are broken and ashamed and terrible in a way that no Miami Dolphins team has ever been. And, because they are proud professionals and it hurts to go to work in more ways than one, now the most veteran of the Dolphins are angry, too.
The swaggering Cowboys didn't beat Miami like this. Neither did the immortal Patriots. No, Miami lost its most lopsided game of this, the most wretched season in franchise history, to the worst team on its schedule Sunday. And at home, no less, though home has never had quite this many Jets fans spewing their special brand of noxious obnoxiousness.
Wasn't bad enough that Miami got trampled by Daunte Culpepper and A.J. Feeley and the son of Starsky and Hutch's Huggy Bear earlier this season. Wasn't bad enough to be down 42-7 at the half against New England or lose 3-0 last week in the most boring football game ever played. So Miami descended Sunday several floors below where you thought ''rock bottom'' was.
And a hissing Marty Booker spoke to the TV cameras through a stream of curses afterward, then ended interviews with, ''I'm done. I'm sorry.'' And a seething Keith Traylor, who has never said anything interesting as a Dolphin, wondered aloud why he came back through so much pain to be a part of this worst embarrassment. And a defeated Jason Taylor spat a hollow ''They [stink], too'' at the hated Jets before a Miami public-relations man ended his interviews for the day.
Etch Booker's words on the tombstone of the haunted 2007 Dolphins.
They're done. They're sorry.
