Then by all means my good fellow hardcore phin phanatic, allow me.
You know what bothers me the most about all of this ****..... the timing of it. Here we have a game in which if the phins win, they are in FIRST PLACE in the division. Winning this game puts them at worst tied at the top and the only team in the division who will be 1-0 within divisional play. On top of that, we will shove our rivals towards the bottom and staring down the barrel of a 1-4 start thanks to games vs. the 9ers and texans in the next two weeks.
Basically, this is the BIGGEST GAME this team will have played in the last 2 years. We started 0-7 last year. No game was really big. There wasnt a game where we couldve said "if we win this things are shaping up pretty nicely". But, this game says that. Face it, NE dosent look like the team they were in previous seasons so far. When was the last time they lost at home to a team many considered average at best? They have a huge couple of injuries going against them and Welker is being pushed down the line in opportunites. If we win this game tomorrow, this season is going to start smelling like the magical Pennington year in a way.
But, its almost like the fans arent interested. They want to bash the GM before the season gets started. They had a long time to be able to do that **** when it made sense to do it. Now we have a new HC and FINALLY we have drafted a QB in the first round and these so called fans cant even get behind them. Its a ****ing joke.
Lets run down the list of bull**** excuses for this nonsense of staring at a potential blackout on Sunday.
1. The heat - Yea its ****ing hot down there. Its south ****ing Florida. Believe me.... I HATE the heat. I know if I took my big fat ass down there I would be complaining about it. Thing is, Im used to the 4 seasons of the mountains. It gets really hot sometimes in the summer and I keep it indoors with the AC. I like the cold. A nice fireplace on a snowy evening is awesome. But, you ****ers that live down there in South Florida deal with that heat all the time. YOU LIVE THERE. You are use to it. Is it somehow 40 degrees warmer in section 304 of the stadium than it is on your back ****ing porch???? If the heat is so untolerable for you at the stadium, move your ass up here to go ole WV. I bet you sissies will be screaming for the 90 degree heat within 20 minutes of a nice November evening up here. GET REAL with the heat excuse. Basically, if a team I truly loved played here in my climate, I wouldnt avoid going to a game in December for the reasoning of it being too cold. I can handle the typical cold where I live.
2. Economy - Hey, those folks trying to raise a family on a modest income.... believe me. I get it. I wouldnt have any issues with you not buying 4 tickets to the game. And as I stated earlier, I wouldnt bring my kids to an NFL stadium for a game anyway. I will discuss that in a few. But, I dont even blame those folks in that spot for not buying one ticket and going with another male friend or two. I understand. You dont have the $100 bucks or so to go all the time. My problem isnt with these folks. In fact, they should be pissed even more that the game may get blacked out. They need it to be on TV. My problem is with the TONS of people who do have more than enough money to go to these games. I get sick of the income stats from Miami. Anyone care to throw some W. Palm Beach numbers around? Ive been there once. Id say there are MORE THAN ENOUGH people just within that city who have MORE THAN ENOUGH money to go to as many games as they want to. Nevermind all the other surrounding areas within a couple hours drive of that stadium who call themselves diehard fans and yet are nowhere to be seen at the stadium. Economy excuse is total bull****.
3. Extra expenses - You know what these are? Flights, hotels, and the multi days one must invest to come to a game from out of the area. Thats real expenses. Thats what real fans would have to spend. This petty complaining about parking and concessions is bull****. Couple of easy solutions...... go to the game to watch the game, not to eat and drink. Get a couple of bottles of ****ing water. $10 maybe? Eat before you go to the ****ing game. Lets say you live an hour away...... Have your wife prepare you a hearty brunch around 1030 ish. Get home around 6pm..... eat dinner. Simple. Hell, take a pack of nabs or something and put them in your ****ing pocket if you get hungry at halftime.
What about beer? Dont be a ****ing alcoholic. Who needs to drink beer in the middle of the day like that all weekend? Besides, with that heat out there, you need water. Beer will make you ****ing sick. It might be better for the NFL if they simply didnt allow drinking at the games. While they would lose money from the highly overpriced beer they sell, they would gain ticket sales because guys like me would take their family to the game. I know this revenue wouldnt match what they make in beer sales, but it makes for a much better environment, free of morons who seem to be there only to drink beer and cause mayhem. I went to a game in Buffalo once and sat on the isle. I had to get up every 10 minutes to let this 3 pack of nimrods out to go to take a piss and get another beer. Why even come to the game? You can drink beer much cheaper at home. They were missing at least 50% of the plays anyway. If you didnt drink an entire beer every 10 minutes, you wouldnt have to visit the urinal every 10 minutes as well. No alcohol would drastically cut down on the fighting, profanity, and overall bad behavior at these games as well. I think the PR plus the league would get would be much better overall than the money they get from beer sales at the stadium. Let these beer drinking *******s watch the games at home.
Parking.... carpool bitches. You and 3 friends I know will just get broke by shelling out the $5 each on a parking spot. Again, family of 4 I get it. Kids cant generate income and throw in on that ****. It gets to be a lot. But, going with a few friends makes for a trip that shouldnt put you out more than $100.
Im sure there are tons of people who can afford this and just dont. It bothers me they call themselves diehard fans when the fact is they arent. You know what fans are down there..... fair weather as ****. Plain and simple. No other way around it. The excuses are ****ing ridiculous and petty.
I also am tired of hearing how the fans will turn out when the team starts winning. I say if fans showed up, perhaps it would help the team ****ing win at home. Here we are at the doorstep of a potentially good season and fans still dont want to go. If we lose this game in a tight one to the Jests, Im pinning some of the blame on these bull**** fans who dont show up and drown out the Jets fans. The ones who let Jets fans get the seats in the first place. We need fans making it tougher on Sanchez than it already is.
The last excuse we hear is the "other things to do". Yea, you know why you have "other things to do"?....... because you are not diehard dolphins fans. Thats the biggest bull**** one of them all. Hell, I have other things to do if I want to do them instead of watch the game and I dont even live in South Florida. I could do a lot of other things besides be a diehard phins fan. I just dont do them because I choose to be a diehard phins fan. A real one. Sure, I do plenty of other things with my life..... just not on Sunday afternoons when the phins are playing.
