My 10,000 post!
Yes, my 10,000 post. I guess that warrants something. But in my true style I wont start a thread, but contribute to another, since I don't start very many.
I have realized recently that there are many here on FH that have never known what it was like when we were the powerhouse. Not just for a few years, but for almost 30! We are in the top 2 or 3 in all time wins. Even with the past 10 years of futility. While for many it has manifested itself in apathy, there are a few of us old vets who, with the pearls of brilliance still in our memories, have cultivated an appreciation for what we really had. And how quickly we threw everything under the bus because we weren't in the playoffs. It was expected... not merely something you hoped for. Does anyone else remember the season we went 10-6 and MISSED the playoffs?
In 7 years of FH I've certainly mellowed. I truly appreciate these old videos. They renew my faith, more than relive what was great. It has taught me that there are no guarantees no matter who we bring in and who we may draft. So while some will want to Suck for Luck, I'll root for wins. Even if we only have one. Because I remember what it was like to be a winner. Old habits die hard. Like Marino.. I could never accept losing.
Oh we may be down now, the may kick the dirt in our face.. but we will rise again. You can be sure of that.
Why?
Because we're the Miami Dolphins. One of the Greatest Franchises in the History of Professional Football.
