One of the funnier ones:
Why the Dolphins are called the Dolphins and how other franchises got their names.

Detroit's definitely the monarchs of the Toilet Bowl. That's for sure.
Sharks wouldn't have been a bad mascot either.
Nope, the Sharks would definitely rock just as hard as Dolphins. Just look at Any Given Sunday AKA the best football movie EVER!
I don't think we should make fun of the Lions, remember we where really close to do the same
We weren't as bad as the Lions were this year.
We may have been pretty bad, but at least we didn't go winless.
Friday Night Lights is my favorite football movie ever, but AGS was pretty awesome.

I'd love to have been called the Miami Sharks.
Sharks would have been pretty cool, but Dolphins is just so unique and I love that they went with them.
For those who didn't already know, the finalists for the Miami team were the Dolphins, Mariners, Marauders, Mustangs, Missiles, Moons, Sharks, and Suns.

Could be an artificial memory but I thought Monsters was on that list as well.

Dolphins were slected because they are the most intelligent creature in the ocean. Also, dolphins kill sharks and bad luck is suppose to come to anyone who harms a dolphin
Plus, I like the term Fin Fan. Sh fan or Ark fan just doesn't cut it.
