Yesterday I was pretty damn pissed after watching our Dolphins "drop the soap in prison" against our hated rival Jets, and I said a lot in 24 hours in the heat of anger. Yes, I regret nothing because I got a lot of people clicking the "thanks" button and I'm a complete whore for that, but I still feel compelled to give a recap. I said the following:
1) Stephen Ross would not have the testicles to fire Joe Philbin until year's end.
2) Stephen Ross actually believed Philbin when Joe said for the 40,000th time in a 2 week span, "We need to go back and look at the film".
3) Our president and ownership would not want to reward players they felt were lazy in caving to their demands to fire Joe Philbin.
4) I believed the rumors that the team was having trouble firing Philbin "only because there wasn't a good enough replacement in house".
5) I said the best replacement in house, far and away, was Dan Campbell, but that this team was so out of touch with progressive thinking, coaching track records, and who was actually good on its staff that they would never, ever name him head coach.
Soooooo yeah, I was wrong. A LOT. And from my spot, standing here in "Wrongsville, U.S.A.", I can tell you all this....
IT FEELS SO DAMN GOOD TO BE WRONG! Welcome Dan Campbell, thank you Stephen Ross, and here's to having some semblance of hope in a season we all assumed was lost!!!!! BEING WRONG FEELS FANTASTIC! Yes, the playoffs remain a longshot, but I at least have more than 1% faith that our team will TRY HARD on Sundays.
GO DOLPHINS!
