Last month, Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga declared that defensive end Jason Taylor “deserves” to be traded to a Super Bowl contender.

But Huizenga now says that he won’t interfere with the decision of V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells and G.M. Jeff Ireland regarding Taylor’s future, if Taylor asks for a trade.

So what happened in the past three weeks?  Could it be that the Tuna told Wayne to keep his nose out of the situation?

Ordinarily, we’d never dream that a front-office minion would speak so candidly to the owner of the team.  But this is the Tuna we’re talking about.  He speaks his mind, and he usually gets away with it.

Meanwhile, Taylor fell short of his goal to win Dancing with the Stars.  That’s a shame.
