Sparano not a "Suck For Luck" supporter

Suck For Luck?

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano isn’t cool with it.

Some, or many, Dolphins fans are now rooting for Miami to lose every remaining game this season to lock up the first-overall pick in 2012 and better the team’s chances of landing Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, who is touted by analysts as a no-brainer No. 1 overall choice.

With starter Chad Henne done for the year with a shoulder injury and his future with Miami in jeopardy, the Dolphins will probably have to make a move for a new signal-caller this coming offseason.

But Sparano doesn’t appreciate the idea of losing games in order to get him.

“… what bothers me about it most is that we have a lot of players in that locker room, every player in that locker room, every coach upstairs, every Harvey Greene in this building that walk into this building with one agenda and that agenda is to win, period,” Sparano said during his Wednesday press conference.

“So we have no other agenda here. It’s to win and those players go out there every single week and they put themselves at risk. I think that part of it; yeah that angers me a little.”
