Dolphins are cute just plain old to darn cute. If you want us to be mean we would have to drop the whole dolphin thing. We could be the Miami Makos, that would be cool. Plus my last name is Macko. Well I guess we should be grateful Manatee didn't win.
Miami Dolphins-The name was selected in a name the team contest. The bottlenose dolphin, an intelligent creature with an irresistible built-in grin, has inspired wonder for centuries. “The dolphin is one of the fastest and smartest creatures of the sea,” Joe Robbie said in announcing the team name on October 8, 1965. “Dolphins can attack and kill a shark or a whale. Sailors say bad luck will come to anyone who harms one of them.”
