I am a long time Dolphins fan (since 1982) and have lived and died with this team throughout the years. I have to date broken 3 remote controls, broke a basement wall, and have had countless sunday afternoon fits watching them (my wife thinks I am crazy). I love this team. However, I think for this first time quite possibly ever, I may lose a big part of my love for this team if they took Ricky back (assuming he comes out of the fog and realizes what a colossal life altering mistake he has made). I yearn for the days when the Miami Dolphins were the most respected Sports franchise alive. The days of Tony Nathan, AJ Duhe, John Offerdhal, Jimmy Cefalo, Dwight Stephenson, OJ Mcduffie, Jim Jensen are what we need to get back to. High charcater guys. Remember when Robbie was the owner and Shula was the coach and we were the least penalized team in the league. Remember when we had no questionable character guys and off the field incidents never happened. It all started to go bad the year Shula went after all those former 1st rd draft picks (Randall Hill, Terell Buckley, etc etc...) He tried to buy a SB and that ended in disaster in Buffalo. Then came JJ and the making of losers like Cecil Collins and Demetruius Underwood, and the off the field incidents started becoming common place. We became a less respected team (Dol-felons) and the franchise has not recovered yet from all of this. I really think we need a whole new identity and need to go back to the principles of what Miami Dolphins football is about. This franchise is becoming a joke and I am so sick of it. The Ricky Williams debacle is just a culmination of what this franchise has become. I love this team and will always root for them, but I think pride, honor and integrity have to take priority over getting a "stud" RB back. I think the Dolphins need to take a hard and public stance on Ricky.....Stance against him. He and the NFL world need to know that we won't tkae this lying down. We need to take the high road on this one even if it means losing more games this year. I think we can only ever recover from this offseaosn of horror by just eating this year and cleaning house. I am more convinced of this every day. No more trading away draft icks for other teams junk. We need to get younnger, get new blood in here (even if this means trading guys like Jason Taylor, and Zach Thomas and Sam madison). We haven't won anything with these guys. I think this next season will go a long way in determing what the future will hold for us.
Ok.......I am on the soap box and my vent is over. Thanks for listening.
