Since 1976 I've been pulling for these guys. Inherited them from my father.
That's a lot of bleeding over the past 20 years. My first 20 years with them was pretty damned good.
Like a lot of you, I have felt the rage, frustration, depression. Have asked, What has happened to my team? How did a once mighty superpower fall so hard, so long ago, and still has not risen?
And, like you, my liver is in shambles this time of year.
But this year will be different. Not because of wins, players performing, etc. Last month I had a game changer.
As some of you saw on a previous post, I got to hang with Vern Den Herder last month. And I came away with a different, less frantic view of Miami.
Rather than pound a pre game 12 pack to prepare for the suffering, I'm just gonna kick back this season. Relax. Not stress out. Ive been stressing out for decades, even when we were awesome.
But Vern really put it in perspective. Let's face it: The Dolphins are our team, win or lose, rock or suck. Doesn't matter. And they always will be. The ruination of the week following a loss just isn't worth it. The elation of a win is, heh heh.
So this season, for the first time, I simply have no expectations. I'm just gonna kick back and enjoy the season. They may win. Sweet. They may lose. ****. But, as Vern said, we'll just have to wait and see.
Having said all that, I want to see them play for real. Win or lose. And I want to see them remember what they were.
And I'd be good with that.
So hang onto your shorts, boys. ****'s about to get real.
Lay 'em out, Miami.
