Earlier within the week I requested the query, what would you, as a fan of the Miami Dolphins, be prepared to surrender now or down the street to safe only one extra Tremendous Bowl victory for the franchise? Beneath are a few of your comments-
FLSurferMike has positioned a low worth on what he’s prepared to surrender.
A ham sammich
Sloppy simply desires that win as a long-suffering true blue fan!
To me, it’s value all of the ache and distress that I’ve gone by as a fan. I really like my groups and I by no means flip my again on the groups I root for. In my youth, I picked my groups primarily based on the gamers I cherished. Dan Marino Monday evening vs the Bears to cease the undefeated workforce was after I fell in love with the Dolphins and I’ve by no means regarded again. Deliver me one Tremendous Bowl and all of the missteps within the draft, free company, playoff losses, and so on will all be erased and it was well worth the wait. I’m a Cleveland Cavs fan additionally. Fell in love with them throughout the Brad Daugherty and Mark Value years. When the Cavs bought their title in 2016 it erased the bitterness of “the shot”, the accidents that stored them from competing on the stage they need to and the unhealthy draft picks ie Tristan Thompson over Kawhi Leonard, and the dumb letter Dan Gilbert despatched out after Lebron left the primary time. Titles heal all wounds and make the ache of being a fan value it.
MIAMI235 can be going with meals however he did appear to one-up the man with the ham sandwich so there’s that…
Lasagna!
Invoice Moody-We really feel you brother! All of us really feel your ache!!!!
I help the workforce on the street every season attending at the least one sport… final season was 3 (Chicago, SF, LAC). I’ve been doing this for 10+ seasons now. I believe I’ve accomplished my half, now it is the workforce’s flip to offer again and win one thing significant.
daytonadolfan acknowledged his POV in sarcasm however I’m actually not so positive that he wouldn’t give up a physique half for an additional trophy…
Night……………………perhaps a kidney? I imply I’ve two soooooo……
PhinsTifosi concepts appear okay so long as we aren’t speaking kidnapping or worse…
Steven Ross’ arm, leg, and first born . . .
finfanfromsiam ought to simply go forward and hold his youngsters IMO!
Night! My final offspring……final ones have been females….
Alpha6 goes ALL in!
My left nut. I’m not utilizing it anyway.
USMCFinzFreak simply desires the possibility to share the second along with his son!
It means I can die a cheerful man. I’ve witnessed the glory years and rooted for this workforce ever since. My son, alternatively, was subjected to a long time of mediocrity. Poor man, he was indoctrinated early in his life to like the Dolphins. We each mentioned that if the Dolphins make it to the SB, we’ll attend the sport. It will be a cheerful factor for me to share within the pleasure of successful a SB with him,
Dolfanjoe is on to one thing. First off, sure it is a unusual query however I run out of issues to ask if I’m being trustworthy (severely, some days I simply don’t need to hassle). In any other case, I agree. We do our half as followers and we needs to be repaid in form however we’re on the mercy of individuals with far extra money and energy than us. PS- I don’t know in the event you have been asking me however I’ve zero concept what occurred to your remark.
Unusual query there James! Surrender personally? Not a dam factor! I help my workforce by watching and investing my time. I’ve spent cash going to video games and watching at Sports activities bars. However win or lose it’s only a sport. The Solar appears to nonetheless come up each Monday morning. The NFL has taken sides in politics, the cash many gamers are getting is obscene! How a lot did the Redskins promote for? It is a distraction, from actual life nothing extra. And Alpha retains that left nut, utilizing it or not. We already give loads and must put up with an unbelievable quantity of rubbish they feed us down our throats regularly. Surrender personally, we do each time we flip that machine on and tune in………………………………….
Call_for_the_Priest’77 has a narrative that hits approach too near dwelling. I really feel you bro!
I imagine that the majority of us pissed off Dolphins followers have discovered lasting enjoyment from rooting on favorites in others sports activities to championship glory. For me, the NY Islanders Stanley Cup hockey run from 1980 – 83 was as superb because it will get (although no one must query my Dolphins’ loyalty because the Islanders are so far as I’m going in relation to NY-based groups!). The back-to-back Toronto Blue Jays World Collection titles in ‘92 and ‘93 have been highly effective moments as properly with the bonus of being my native workforce! Most not too long ago have been the 2019 NBA Toronto Raptors, one other native favourite gone nice! No person on both facet of the border predicted them to be champs that yr. There’s something particular about following a workforce for a whole season and who wins all of it. It’s the identical sort of feeling one will get after finishing a job properly accomplished. However a Miami Dolphins Superbowl? That may be essentially the most particular of all. I say this as a result of Miami is the one sports activities workforce I’ve often adopted since day 1 of being a fan, beginning approach again round 1982. Not as soon as have I ever switched loyalties. Even throughout these earlier pre-internet days (or fashionable stone age for you millennials), I might be checking the television each Sunday for any Miami video games, listening to sports activities reveals on radio/television, after which studying the Tuesday newspaper for stats and any tales concerning my lengthy distance heroes of the south. Yearly I’d be considering of Shula and Marino. Okay, this has bought to lastly work!… But it by no means did. The Dolphins have been part of my life for the final 40+ years. A SB win for us would imply lots to me. I believe it might reply the query why I’m going by this yr after yr. To me this feat echoes one phrase, loudly in my thoughts – FINALLY!
biedergb is true and my remark was not private in any respect. I used to be born in 1970 so whereas I used to be on the earth for each I can barely bear in mind something about them.
“however the final time the workforce received a Tremendous Bowl has been longer than nearly all of us have been alive, aka approach too rattling lengthy!” Whoa now The final SB win was 4 days earlier than I used to be born. So not that way back …. oh wait … darn. Effectively, I’ve been ready my entire life for a SB victory actually, so it might be value lots.
Tua2HillWaddle is somebody that I’ve by no means seen earlier than so hello and stuff! Your emotions are most probably common among the many overwhelming majority of Phins followers!
I’ve given up sufficient of my life already. I have to see extra than simply 1 SB win after which accomplished – playoff purgatory isn’t sufficient both. A number of championships is what I would like. What’s going to I pay? I’ve paid sufficient already.
As might be the proper reply most weren’t prepared to surrender something as we’ve all spent cash and effort and time to help this workforce regardless of being disillusioned over and again and again. Now what’s happening with Johnny, that is a query that’s by no means meant to be answered.
