I'm definately the loudest guy in the bar.......... I go with friends who are fans of all different kinds of teams, myself being the only Fin fan, but that doesn't stop me from being vocal at that tv screen. I used to be really bad back in the day, prolly the influence of my father who was a diehard sports fan as well. But I think alots been taken out of us over the years with a shred of wisening up.
I remember when the Fins would lose in an ugly manor, I would go into my room, rip down all my posters, all my Fins merchandise and put it into garbage bags refusing to put it all back out again until the Fins won my trust back......... hahaha. My mother used to yell at my father and I for how crazy we got over our sports teams. I think the two losses that made me the sickest were the Jacksonville disaster in the playoffs and the Meadowlands meltdowns. Although all those Buffalo losses we incurred in the 90's took a toll on me as well. Going back to that 62-7 debacle though, I couldn't believe what had happened.......... I was seriously immobilized unable to cope with the fact that that was Marino's last stand. People know what a die hard I am here and they love to pick at me when they lose.
My fondest memory was the comeback against the Broncos in 2002. I was with my friend who's a Fins fan from New Jersey.....we were going to the U of Arizona at the time.......enjoying what was one of the greatest games I've watched..........brutal hitting, just smash mouth all around with some great highlight plays.........when they drove down the field on us and Elam hit that 51 yarder, my heart sunk........but there was still 40 secs left. My friend Adam and his friend Kristin called to talk sh*t and I told'em the game ain't over. Wouldn't you know it, Fieldler drove us down and Mare hit that awesome 53 yearder in the snow flurries..........hahaha yeah I called my friend and was like "Yeah what b*tch!!!! I'll see your 50 yard field goal and raise you another!!!!" Hahah it was awesome. Dan and I could be heard hootin' and hollarin' by the whole apartment complex, we were friggin' loud!!! That was a such a showdown and a great game man.
When I was a kid I had gotten all this Dolphins clothing gear, including the infamous Zubaz zebra striped pants for the Hollidays........I swear I wore the clothing for 2 straight weeks without washing hahah.
I thought I'd share with you guys some of the funny crap I used to wear.
Hahahh this is the garbage bag I still have filled with some of my childhood Fins gear.
These are those Zubaz pants I was sporting.......... Hahah I can't believe the NFL actually pushed these and I wore them!
This was the Marino sweatshirt I wore underneath the jacket.
This is the jacket.........seriously, talk about making the Dolphins logo look like a bunch of wimps, check out the back of it in the next picture.
The backside of the jacket.
