while watching Alabama win tonite a part of me is jealous because I feel Saban could have had that same impact on miami, however whenever I see a team win a championship I sit in a bit of envy.

I respect winners but feel a lil wishful to experience that feeling how do you feel watching other teams experience winning championships?
 
I see strong organization, run properly, with solid structure, where players are not worried about money or playing time but contribute to the team, and I see consistently good decision making in recruitment of talent in #1s and in depth. It makes me feel admiration and moves me to come here and scream to fire our leadership.
 
Envy, I wanna see us win one so badly I keep trying to tell myself this is just temporary that we are'nt the next lions, bengals, cardinals. I just hope all of our years of being above average team isn't coming around to bite us in the azz. That's mainly why I don't like all of the fire coach's talk and trade away talent talk because my opinion is you win championships with consistancy and if were changing regimes every 3 yrs we'll never get there.
 
I saw players that disguised a Gatorade bath as an opportunity to try and rip his head off. I think there must have been some pent up aggression with his players.

Saban is a great college coach...NFL, not so much.
 
For the past 20 years, when I watch the Super Bowl, I shake my head at all the failures Miami has trotted out there on Sundays. The teams that I watch are sound, have good fundamentals, playmakers, and are well built football teams. Looking at teams like the Colts, Saints, and Chargers, you see teams built around a superstar QB.

And now, I'll always question what if. What if Miami picked Matt Ryan. After all, he is a "for sure" franchise QB and once again this organization refuses to pick a 1st round QB. We continue to settle for Becks, Feeleys, and Hennes.

At least the Celtics have won recently, otherwise I'd be a wreck, and also because the Phins don't seem like they care about winning titles. Only giving us "orange carpet" events and making the stadium a nice place to enjoy big games or concerts.
 
All my life i dream to see my dolphins win a Superbowl. I hate it so much that other fans thinks we are ****. I hate that i every game i have gone to has been a lost. I remember the saddest moment of sports to me was when dan left. i was at the stadium when we the crowd kept saying "One more year". It was so sad cause he deserve a ring more then anybody. A lot people ask me why the dolphins and the reason i love the dolphins is I know that the dolphins is are still best team in nfl no matter what and when that day comes oh sweet victory.

This last decade has really done a bad number to the Phins reputation. I always get ragged on for wearing Phins gear.

I'll never forget this encounter I had this past summer:

Homeless Lady: "What you wearin that Dolphins hat for?"

Me: "I've been a Phins fan all my life!"

Homeless Lady: "I wouldn't tell nobody."

And that's just one encounter. Most football fans, I'd say 90% I've come across, look at the Phins as a joke of a franchise. "When's the last time you guys won a Super Bowl, the 50's?" is all I ever hear. Sick of that ****.

What? I thought we needed gutterballs like Brandon Marshall, Michael Vick, and Terrell Owens to win?
 
It is what it is.

But my favorite college Basketball team won it a few years back. Throw in they are ranked #1 in the nation to start the year off.

ROCK CHALK!
 
I dont really feel anything, just hope its entertaining.

With the teams I support I have become so used to failure and/or under-acheivement I have zero expectations of any of those teams reaching such a pinacle.
 
I've seen everyone of my favorite sports franchises win a championship except the Dolphins my all-time favorite sports team over any other not win one and it sucks to see that. Yet i know when they do not a single person can say your a front runner for that. I look back and I was so happy when i watched Marino when i was 5, when Ricky Williams romped on Buffalo, when yes Fielder and Chambers stomped Dallas on thanksgiving, in 07 when Camarillo ran 63 yards to make sure we had a win and last season when i watched the Jets fall. I can only hope Sparano and Co. at some point bring Miami home a championship all Miami Dolphin fans who weren't there for the glory years of the early 70s and Marinos 1984 run to hold there head up and cheer for this team.

I'm not numbed unless it's the Gators. Or an unbeaten NFL team, which would bring comatose potential. This season had danger for both, so I'm extremely relieved. I don't like Texas or Alabama, and I lost a bet on +5 with a late fumble at my own 2 yard line, but it was relaxing as heck considering what might have been.

Mostly, I witness fortified teams with superior manpower and philosophy to the Dolphins or Canes. Not exactly complicated. The Tide last night, like the Steelers last year, have tough guys position by position. They run the ball often, as football was meant to be played.

Heck, Alabama didn't even need to pass the ball well, which is normally the second half of the equation. You've got to admire a team that is so dominant in the trenches and in pass defense that the pantyhose passing game is virtually irrelevant.

Tennessee was the only opponent that outrushed Alabama this season, 35 attempts to 30. Not coincidentally, they were also the only team to both out gain Alabama (341-256) and have more time of possession (32.18-27:42). And, of course, they're the only team that should have beaten the Tide, minus the blocked FGs.

Saban knows he has a massive advantage in this era because so many sucker teams have adopted the lollipop approach via the spread. It comparatively softens every aspect of the team. Alabama 2008 and 2009 were hardly dominant but versus a collection of this caliber, they don't have to be.

 Kiffin may not reach Alabama's level, or even close, but I guarantee Saban wishes he were absent, replaced by another spread clod who says all the right things.​
 
At halftime of Superbowl 17 I was pretty sure the Dolphins were going to be World Champions. Even after the Redskins took the lead I was waiting for a TD that never came. It's just hard to believe that up to this point it would be the closest I would see them get a Championship. I was only 10 years old when they won their next AFC Championship and didn't even think much of it. I knew the 49ers would probably win, if the Dolphins had that much trouble against the Chargers and Raiders they were dead against SF. I remember they took an early lead with a FG and thinking wow, if they can somehow stay ahead it would be great. Just seeing them with a lead had some thoughts of a World Title, could it really happen? The tantrum after that game was nothing compared to the Redskins one. What I would do to see Miami just win an AFC Championship now. I would be completely nuts, I was completely nuts when they won the division last year. Those division titles grew on trees in the 80s.
