Guess we can say that any more.... 
Miami gets snubbed by the national media
- Thread starter Jeep
- Start date
Actually, I was thinking about the very same thing; As someone who has long contended that the league gives the zebras directives on which teams they would like to see them rule for if not too obvious (which too often it has been against us), usually based on ratings and ad dollars from major media markets and compelling story lines.
Well we have become a compelling story line in a few different ways, have captured the public's interest, maybe even have activated the "Lebron" hate effect where teams will be rooting against us in the playoffs. Maybe now we'll start getting that same call we didn't get against the Ravens that moved the jets into makeable FG range, some more PIs we deserve and no calls on phantom PIs that swing the game around. While we're not a major market, "America's team," or have Goodell interning for, or being in our owner's pocket, no bout adout it, we are now a compelling, interest-holding story, fersure
Who knows, maybe Wake will start getting half the holds on him actually called :idk:.

Well Stephen Ross allowing the NFL to pick our staff says it all. We will be getting those favorable calls. Everything is a little rigged so some of us can pridefully watch wrestling and when people say "you know that's fake?" I say I know thanks. NFL just needs to let me know like Vince McMahon did back in the day and say it's just "entertainment" then I can have 20 favorite teams like I did wrestlers in the mid to late 90s.

You know how it works Vaark, whether its good or bad publicity - the important thing is that you are being talked about and relevant. I would love all the fans to hate us how they hate the Heat. At the same time, we better win to make that hatred intensified. If we dont win, then we will really be a laughing stock.
Exactly, the funny thing is that most people wont remember why we were being talked about in a year; however, that cognitive imprinting has already been placed on their collective preconcious. In a year or two we are more popular....as long as we keep winning.
One thing I love about the Heat is that they relish in their hatred by fans. If the Dolphins, can do the same and win, it would make Miami an even more unified fan base. Yes, we do exist!!!

Miami football has been snubbed by the national media, and that hasn't changed. We are in the thick of the playoff hunt and we get no respect. If we win tonight we can change the hearts and minds of our players and our coaches, and maybe some of the media. It's all on us.
Im sorry, but I disagree. Miami football has been completely irrelevant for a decade or more, it hasn't been snubbed. Who cares about a football team that constantly wins an average of 6 or 7 games a season??
you just snapped a 4 game losing streak last week and are 4-4 so what respect did you expect? when you were 3-0 they started talking about you but you got to win.
Truth be told, this whole incident may have been the best thing to ever happen to Miami Dolphins football.
Whether the media, general public, or opposing fans know it or not they might have just woken a sleeping giant.
Time to make the world recognize.

The sleeping GIANT falls asleep at the wrong time. Saint prime time was the worst time to start the losing streak. Letting Buffalo pile on was even worse. I think Mckinney addition was a game too late but with a win against the Bucs we are in the drivers again.
With head reeling, a throbbing headache and total depression, I had to fight our way out of the lot and up the turnpike after that ****in game... and was so traumatized by such an unnecessary loss to such an unworthy opponent that I took about a week's hiatus from anything to do with football, including FH.
