I was reading through some of the reality check threads regarding the state of the Fins, and it brought to mind something that Jimmy Encephalitis said last year regarding people criticizing TS's coaching and also the Daboll hire. He said something to the effect that the people who were doing the criticizing were not "Football People", and as such really did not know what they were talking about, he also said that "Football People" had high regard for TSs and Dabolls' abilities.

My question is who are these "football people"? Are they people who look like footballs, could they be the people who design, manufacture and sell footballs? And if they are so smart, when it comes to football, is there any way we, the Great Unwashed Group of fans could get just an iota of this football knowledge? Oh I forgot, we are not "Football People", so we should just shut up, pay for the tickets, parking, $10 beer, and cheer when the sign tells us to cheer. What arrogance, and this is the same attitude shown by that Stinking Rotten Tuna, Nicky Satan, Jimmay, and yes even the vaunted Tony "Spandex" Sporono.

It is funny to me when the crap sandwich gets passed around, and someone says, hey Moron I'm not eating that crap sandwich, and someone replies, why you are not a sandwich person, how dare you criticize this fine healthy sandwich. I am not talking about the S for Luck concept, IMHO it will take more than a QB to pull this team out of the gutter, I am talking about the realities that anyone, with an unbiased view can plainly see, this team is in disarray, I hope they win every week, but as time goes on the probabilities get worse instead of better. TS is losing the team, and once the players lose respect for the coach, the effort gets flushed. So how can a realist be called a Debbie Downer, the problems are as plain as the Green Lizard in Mad Dogs hand.

And another thing, if Jimmy Encephalitis had bought into a mutual fund that lost 100% per year, I guess since he is a football person and not a mutual fund person he would not be critical of the management either. Even after he found out that the fund weighted 89% of its cash in a new IPO/start up called Samirs BBQ Barn, that was going to open a chain of Pork BBQ joints in Saudi Arabia and Iran, and all their pigs would be farmed locally Syria. Oh no Jimboni, don't you dare say a word. Even here on the Finheaven Site I cannot understand why fans have soo much trouble facing the realities of what has been going on for years now. Fat Tuna, TS, and Jeff "Irish Whiskey" Ireland do not know how to run a football team, it is very simple.

So do I hope they win tomorrow, yes, will I be surprised if they lose, unfortunately, no.

I agree. Just because you don't know Bill Parcel's grandson or Bill Belicheks son, or don't have a background in coaching or playing professionally or semi-professionally, that you know nothing. Unfortunately its not what you know, its who you know. Thats why half these idiots have jobs in the pros.
 
Valid point. We're supposed to believe Daboll was a good hire, though his offense at Cleveland proved otherwise. We're still struggling offensively, and settle for field goals.
 
I'm not a football person, but I see on tv every sunday that our team sucks.


I'm just a dumb blade operator who works for the county, who can see that the dolphins suck every sunday.

My wife doesn't know why a first down is better than a fourth down, but she KNOWS that the dolphins always lose. thats the fact of the matter.
 
I would say a football person would be someone who could explain the situation to me with specifics, not analogies about crap sandwiches, mutual funds and people who look like a football.

I would agree with this definition, however what's usually bandied about is people that have played or coached the game, and experience teaches us those people don't necessarily know more than people on the outside...
 
Jimmy Encephaliti?

You made that name up!

"Football people" is what you say when you need cover for doing something and you can't get any "real" people that know football to say it is a great idea.

It is also a good way to speak down to us. For instance, if any of us simple fans were "football people" then nwe would understand and agree with everything done here over the last 3 1/2 years.

Oooh how astute brochacho. The Miami Dolphins coaches don't even deal with specifics, for example, TS "enjoy the Journey", Hahahaha. Or this classic "You don't want your quarterback taking beatings like that all season." Nooo really Tony? Or how about this one, “I can’t explain it,” Sparano said, before pausing, and then continuing: “Well, I can explain. I won’t say I can’t explain it because then you guys will say I can’t explain it.” what?????

And then you come along ragging on my Illustrious Illustrations??? OK how bout this,

Last year, the "Football People" and some fans were saying how "Stout" the Fin Defense was, Really?

In 2010 the fins were number 14 in points against, 14 is not stout, 14 is mediocre, with 20.8 points being scored against this Vaunted defense

Now on the offensive side, #30 with a staggering 17.1 points per game. Now bei'n the Redneck that Ah am, Ah nevah took much to cyferin, but even a Non collage grajiate like me can tell that if you give up more points than make, you will lose. :crazy:

So it seems that after last years mess someone would look at the D and say, how are teams moving the ball and scoring against us, could it be our weakness to defend the tight end position???????????. Nahhhhhh, what we need is a center and a running back, yeah thats the ticket. Rent, we are both Fin Fans and I really don't want to irritate anyone, but if I don't make light of some of the things going on with this org, well lets say it is a healthy outlet for frustration.

Oh by the way, JLo, sit down please, your Gluts are causing an Eclipse. Lets see how does that song go? "I'm still Jenny from the block, I used to smoke a little, but now I smoke a lot of rock" or something like that.:chuckle:

The draft isn't the only way to acquire players. Supposed weak link Channing Crowder was sent packing in favor of Burnett, remember how much better he was supposed to make the D?

Just because they failed doesn't mean they were blind to the needs of the team. Now, if they had only acquired a quality FS...
 
**** sandwiches

I stuck up for Sparano and Ireland the other day. Someone told me that they ate **** sandwiches. I said that wasn't true as both don't like bread.
