The man kicking for the Cleveland Browns last season had his cell phone set to provide notifications of the Miami Dolphins scores.
Yes, Cody Parkey of Jupiter is a Miami Dolphins fan.
“To this day, I still get the updates of the halftime scores and stuff, so after the games on my phone I’m like ‘Oh, the Dolphins won.’” Parkey said Monday. “So it’s pretty neat.”
Oh, and, as of Monday, Parkey is the Miami Dolphins kicker.

i'm beginning to wonder if those three misses vs. us last year were kinda on purpose... :D

On a subconscious level perhaps.
I've been a fan since I was 10 yrs old (1971)
I don't think I could stick a dagger in this team'a heart if I were in his shoes last year.
Those FGs would have been half hearted efforts

Worked for us. Welcome aboard Cody! :)

LOL

But really cool for him. I can't imagine how thrilled he must feel. So more incentive to not **** up!

HA ! Good point. God bless this young cat. I wish him luck.

the last kicker we had who grew up locally (Pembroke Pines) turned out to be a stud (Mare)

Did the Fins officially cut Andrew Franks?

So he "missed" those kicks. Gotcha' bro.

It had to be hard to receive call on Friday and play on Sunday when they played us. Talk about no time to prepare

Yes, they cut him in favor of Parkey

If that means he'll feel the same way i do when the team lines up for a game tying 47 yarder, im not sure thats a good thing.

Welcome aboard though, hope he pans out...we've been playing too much musical chairs at kicker, always sending a shaky apprentice out there. Carpenter and Sturgis both have done pretty well since we moved on.
