Great thread!
The Phunwin Ritual:
* wake up and get pissed at myself for missing Mass again this week.
* work out at the fitness center in my apartment complex. I'm going to be chowing on heart-attack food all day, so I might as well get in some exercise beforehand.
* shower and have a bowl of cereal
* quality time with the wife. If I'm going to watch football, she needs to be placated. And if she's going to be my designated driver, I probably need to make her breakfast.
* put on the jersey. Last year, it was #34, which has since been donated to the local Salvation Army. This year, it's a Marino throwback I bought on ebay (sorry AtlantaPhin).
* head to The Distillery, the United Nations of football bars. Virtually every team is present, and pretty much everyone gets along. I'm usually there good and early, since it's "pick your own table" on Sundays, so I make sure the Dolphins game is readily viewable. I've got a group of friends that watch a bunch of different teams, so finding the right table, where everyone can see their game, isn't always easy. Since I'm usually the guy grabbing the table, the Phins obviously get priority.
* order the wing and beer special. 1 lb wings and a pitcher of Labatt Blue for $10. Best deal in town.
* more beer.
* around halftime, a burger follows.
* more beer.
* if I have a DD, more beer. If not, I switch to soda around mid-third quarter.
If the Dolphins are on local TV (I live in Western NY, and it happens more than you'd think), I'll usually stay home with a 12-pack and some pizza.
