What do ALL pro football teams aspire to?
What is the aim?
What is the destination?
Why do they play the game?
To win the Super Bowl and become the World Champions!!! (Of course.)
And where does THAT start?
It starts with BELIEVING that you can! BELIEVING that you ARE!!!
I hate to sound like that Robbins guy on late night TV (the really tall "motivational" speaker dude), but this is soooo TRUE.
Why do we get goosebumps when our hero is getting beaten in the corner of the ring only to reach down into themselves and come back swinging like all hell just broke lose?!? Why?
Because that is the sign of a true hero... one with the heart and soul to persist and prevail even under the most dire circumstances... even during the darkest hour.
And I see that in our players. I see that in the Miami Dolphins.
Moreover... to your point about how "The Fish" are no more champions than the Bills are... for the record... we have TWO banners hanging in our house that say WORLD CHAMPIONS (back-to-back, no less). Last time I checked, your stadium has 0 - that is Z-E-E-E-E-E-RO!!! - banners saying the same thing.
But all this is TOTALLY besides the point. My argument is simply this: The #*%@ing NE Patriots are NO MORE champions than the pathetic NY Jets when THEY last won a Super Bowl.
You don't call yourself a champion for what you accomplished LAST YEAR! You call yourself CHAMPIONS for HOW YOU PLAY... RIGHT NOW... TODAY... as a TEAM.
You call yourself CHAMPIONS for what you bring on to the field as a TEAM.
ANYONE watching the game against Denver knows what I'm talking about.
Right now, the Dolphins are playing like CHAMPIONS. Are they the World Champions? Pa'leaze! Don't insult my intelligence. Of course they are not.
But to BE something you, first, have to BELIEVE it.
Enough said. Peace.
GO 'FINS!!!
