The Fins finally made their triumphant return to the top of the AFC East.


I was at work, sitting in a small guard shack at the end of pier 14 at Naval Station Norfolk, guarding the Aircraft Carrier pier. I sat there, huddled around a space heater with a small, battery powered radio(authoroized by my chain of command, due to special cercumstances, of coarse;)). I could only get the Jets comentators on a staticy AM station. I listened to almost every play, spare a couple of times when I had to step outside or adjust the radio. I can only imagine the sentrys up on the flight deck, watching me, yelling and screaming, doing rediculous Michale Jordan-esq jump kicks with every big play. The game ended, and I turned off the radio. I sat there until 5AM in total scilence, with a huge smile on my face. It really was a day that I will never forget.
 
Drinking heavily, pacing up and down and repeating time after time " i know we'll blow it at the end", much to my wifes annoyance.

I was wrong we didn't, I cracked open a bottle of champagne to wash down the beer.

Everything from here's a bonus. A huge thanks to the jets for aquiring there world class quaterback
 
Watched it from the comfort of my living room with the wife and kids all decked out in fins gear. After the victory, we blew off fireworks in the driveway like it was the 4th of July!!!
 
I was home, working in a software project and taking care of my pretty little monsters. My wife is a Steelers' fan and my kids are too small to pick a team, but everybody enjoyed when Sparano got his Gatorade dunk.
By the way that project got a little delayed.
 
I was at home yelling and when I woke up this morning I was sore from all the jumping with joy I was doing on Sunday..... Man this one felt good...........
 
I was in section 300 of Giants Stadium with about 25 Dolfans singing the Miami Dolphins song and yelling my head off! What a freakin game, and the memories are great!
 
i lost my voice from screaming at the tv. i seriously cant believe no neighbors called the cops on me. with some of the things i was saying it must have sounded like i killed my whole family and chopped em up into little pieces. i think i had a 6 pack alone in the 4th quarter, but man rush it feels goooooooooooooooood! now i just gotta find a way to get to miami sunday
 
Living in Dallas, TX, I don't get to see may Phins games from the comforts of my home, so I was stoked to know that this game was going to be nationally televised. I bought all kinds of snacks and beverages and was all ready to sit on my couch in front of my TV and watch the game. Then, about 2 pm, the cable went out.

Oh s***!!!

I immediately jumped in my car and headed for Buffalo Wild Wings. So, not only was I enjoying the Phins win with some great food, but I was also enjoying watching a house full of Cowboys fans contemplating suicide.
 
Sitting in a bar in Fairfax, VA (actually Vienna) and screaming obscenities while drinking beer and cheering with other Dolfans!

People at the bar probably thought I was mentally challenged. But whatever. I blame the alcohol.
 
When they won i ran outside with my daughter (2) and starting cheering we won the divison we won!!!! i got some odd looks since i live in NJ..
 
I was called into work. Scheduled to work until 6 PM. Well after the game starts, and well into the second half.

I set the DVR and left for work. I get there at noon, and at 2:30 the power goes out. In the 5 years I have worked there, power has been lost at least 4 or 5 times while I was working and has come back within 5 minutes every time. This time, it never came back.

I leave work and get home at 3:55. The whole time driving home all I could think of is "Man if this isn't an omen I don't know what is."

I saw the whole game live and it was great.

I was at home downing bud lights like water. watching the game with the wifey in the living room, kids upstairs playing xbox 360. I am also active duty navy, but thank god i am on shore duty. if i were on a ship right now, i would have probably missed the game. i drank too much beer, i feel like crap today.
 
Well i was pacing around yelling "were division champs" while everyone clearly thought i was out of my mind...

I live in Corpus Christi, TX and I was planning on going to Buffalo Wild Wings also, I was sure they were going to show the Houston Texans game (like they do every sunday) but thank god the Phins was on national TV. I did not have to go anywhere, stayed at home and watched it with the wifey.
 
I was there living it up!!!! that place had a lot of Fin fans there. I was very proud of my fellow fans.... because we were loud as ####!
