Well thats a good job outta you and the original poster. I stand corrected. Didn’t remenber that at all. Mustve been all the drugs in the 70′s……and 80′s…and 90′s….and aughts…and tonite.

Many are to blame: some players, some coaches, the GM, and most importantly, the owner.

Huizenga started the slide and Ross is taking it to a whole new level of ineptitude. While he may be staying out of most of the football decisions, he needs to see what is happening and correct it. Failure to do so makes him a horrible owner. Hire guys that understand the game rather than rely on familiar people that are unqualified or, at a minimum, are no longer competent. His handling of Sparano back in January was dismal and a low point in franchise history that could only be surpassed by a winless season. That was bush-league, and it seems as if it may be happening again.

The perception of Ross is that he cares more about celebrities than putting a winning team on the field. That may be a little unfair, but his actions only add to that perception. At least he is not afraid to pay a few players. Now, if only he had the guile to hire a football staff that is capable of recognizing, acquiring and coaching real football talent.

This was an Easter Sunday DH. My friend and I took the bus and walked over the Roosevelt Ave. Bridge as usual. In the upper deck a Phillies fan named Howie started talking to us. And he never stopped talking for 2 games. He was nuts but knew a lot about the Philly sports scene. He did a great Harry Kalas imitation. He really entertained us. We always looked for him again but never met up “Howie Phillie” again.

This was “Pete Rose Day” They gave out pictures of his record breaking hitting streak swing from the prior year at Shea.

This time the disgraced Rose was taunted by the Shea crowd. Most of the pictures got torn up and scattered on the field. There were loud chants of “Pete Rose Sucks”!!.

Easter Sunday. Cold drizzle through the whole doubleheader – Phillies in control the whole day. My brother and a friend of ours sat in the upper deck freezing until the last inning – naturally we missed 3 run homers by Schmidt and Mazzilli…also missed Easter Sunday dinner with the family, who forgave me. My friend I believe caught whoopass bronchitis or pneumonia and missed the next week of school – I think he also forgave me…don’t know what happened to the Rose photos – but honoring an opposing player (a mere 6 years after he fisted Bud in the playoffs) while his team is sweeping a doubleheader, well, that just typified the late 70s era

Sadly, it’s true.

11/13 – John Beck day
11/20 – Ryan Fitzpatrick day
12/04 – Carson Palmer day
12/11 – Michael Vick day
01/01 – Mark Sanchez day

Hey, if they can’t sell tickets to Phins fans maybe someone else will buy them.

Before you criticize Dolphin fan for the Suck for Luck campaign why don’t you show up and put forth a mans effort at your job! Dolphin fan has NOTHING to cheer for as everyone on the planet is questioning your ability, effort, and your heart.
Why don’t you man up go to work so that your fans can enjoy something besides an expectation of just another Sunday loss. The team is uninspired, uncoached, unmanageable, and now unwatchable which works well because given the current trend will likely be blacked out the rest of the year.

If you were really upset about something then you would be upset about watching your own game film on Monday’s when you realize that you truly are Sucking for Luck, the rest of us are just applauding your efforts!

This post deserves 5 thumbs up. It really says it all.
I am a Jets fan and have been for 15 years. Two years ago I was trash talking back and forth all season with friends who are Miami fans. Now, they are barely watching football…they can’t put their hearts into it. It’s crushing them that their team’s owner has let this once proud organization fall apart. How can anyone with a shred of professionalism let his corporation sink to this??

Can you be more specific? I don’t remember Pete Rose day at Shea. Mets were functioniong well in 73 when they went to the World Series. They beat the Reds that year and Pete Rose and Bud Harrelson got into a fight at second base. Rose played with the Reds until 79 when he then joined the Phils…..so I don’t think the Mets were honoring him in the 70′s bro. This is some made up stuff.

But I don’t know if Miami of Ohio day for Roethlisberger or Delaware day for Flacco will be such big draws.

As a Fla. girl, I found it a little odd because that’s not really Gator country–although it appears Tebow’s faithful traveled well. But I don’t care how desperate you are to sell tickets or how much your team is struggling, that’s just not something you do. My sympathies to the Fin fans on being stuck with such a disloyal owner. If Cowher is considering the Dolphins, I hope he thinks long and hard before saying yes. Ross isn’t Rooney.

Thank you for allowing us to dump our uber-expensive, under-achieving RB on you so we can pick up a real NFL-calibur scatback that is giving us 5 times the production at 1/3 the cost.
