DAVIE, Fla. - Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill says he read only few pages of the investigative report on the teams bullying scandal, but hes confident the necessary changes will be made to ensure a healthy locker room environment. Tannehill, a starter since the first game of his rookie season in 2012, said hes ready to help by taking on more leadership. Speaking Monday at a celebrity golf tournament organized by former Dolphins star Jason Taylor, Tannehill made his first public comments regarding the 144-page report released Feb. 14. Investigators found that guard Richie Incognito and two other offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment directed at tackle Jonathan Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. "I saw a few pages of it," Tannehill said. "I got overwhelmed by 140-and-whatever pages and skipped it. Im just glad its out. The evaluations and summaries have been made, the points have been taken and now we can move forward. Theres no more being anxious about it coming out. Weve had the consequences and repercussions, and now we can put it in the past and move forward." The Dolphins fired offensive line coach Jim Turner and longtime head athletic trainer Kevin ONeill for their roles in the scandal, and coach Joe Philbin pledged to improve the workplace culture. NFL punishment of players who engaged in harassment may be forthcoming in the form of fines, suspensions or both. Tannehill could find him playing behind an entirely new line to start the 2014 season. Even so, he considers fallout from the scandal in the past. "I think its behind us at this point," he said. "Obviously well try to learn from it and correct things Coach Philbin and the coaching staff feel need to be changed. We want to have a healthy locker room." Tannehill was a member of the teams leadership council last season, but at 25, he said hes still growing into the role of a leader. "You definitely get more comfortable speaking up at certain times," he said. "You have the respect. Thats the big thing — having the other guys respect in the locker room. You cant come in with no respect and try to own the place. At this point hopefully I have some respect in the locker room, and now I can assert myself." Taylor is part of an advisory group formed last fall by team owner Stephen Ross that also includes Tony Dungy, Don Shula, Dan Marino and Curtis Martin. The group, which has yet to meet, will review organizational conduct policies and make recommendations on areas for improvement. "We have all seen the report," Taylor said. "We know what it says. In the coming days and weeks we will have a discussion about it, and that discussion will stay between me, Mr. Ross and the other members of the committee."

Now, the Spartans are pursuing something more elusive. "Youre always chasing perfection," Dantonio said after the No. 11 Spartans scored the programs third-most points since 1931, smashing Eastern Michigan 73-14 on Saturday. Connor Cook threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, all in the first quarter, as Michigan State (2-1) found the end zone on its first five possessions. The Spartans finished with their highest point total in 25 years. They beat Northwestern 76-14 in 1989 and blanked Arizona 75-0 in 1949. Eastern Michigan (1-3) was outgained 320-1 in the first half and surrendered the games first 20 first downs. The Eagles have been outscored 155-17 by Florida, Old Dominion and the Spartans. "They were awesome, and obviously I got outcoached in every way," Eagles coach Chris Creighton said. "But I do want to say this: I believe in our guys. Im undeterred. We will have a wall up when we come out for our Homecoming game. Well knock it down again and run through it.". Michigan State finished with 336 yards rushing, 496 in total offence and held the Eagles to five first downs, eliminating some of the sour taste from a 46-27 loss at Oregon two weeks ago. "I think you are always moving forward," Dantonio said. "Our football team certainly is. We look at what is gone and past and just move on. We take 24 hours, handle this win, then move on to WWyoming.dddddddddddd" Cook wound up 5 for 6 for 83 yards before giving way to four other quarterbacks. Delton Williams led 10 Spartan ball carriers with 103 yards and three TDs on 10 carries. "Obviously, everyone had a bad taste in their mouths coming back from Eugene," Cook said. "We wanted to take our anger out on the opponent, whether it was Eastern, Nebraska, Wyoming, whomever. We wanted to come out and make this a statement game and put up some points." Cook opened the scoring with a 4-yard run on a read option, following a 43-yard punt return by Macgarrett Kings. Jeremy Langford made it 14-0 less than four minutes later with a 21-yard sweep of left end, juking the only Eagles tackler in sight. The defence joined the fun on the following snap, as Kurtis Drummond recovered a botched handoff at the EMU 23. Cook immediately found a wide-open Tony Lippett in the back of the end zone to go up by 21. Cook hit Lippett again for an 8-yard score, rolling right and throwing back toward the middle of the end zone. It was the Spartans fourth TD in 20 snaps, and they finished the quarter with a 213-7 edge in total offence. "My mom actually made me a plaque that says, Dont listen to criticism," All-America defensive end Shilique Calhoun said of the Oregon aftertaste. "You just need to play your game and focus what the coaches are trying to teach you. You dont want to worry about what people are saying, get too high off a win or get too low off a loss." ' ' '
