507 REASONS I LOVE BILL BELLICHIK

Reading any article by you is like reading any article by James Walker except without the writing skill or intelligence.

You are amazed that so many people go to games cause you are not a real fan. You an see alot of things happening on the field that u can’t see on a 65 inch TV. Only no nothing’s need a portable radio at the game. The point of going to a game is to support your team, if u don’t have one stay home with your TV.

NFL is better on TV then in person. What’s amazing to me is that so many fans do go to games. I Love the NFL but even if someone offers me free tickets I’m staying home and watching it on my 65 inch TV. You just miss to much in person unless you bring a radio and portable TV, and at that point what’s the point of even being there. Going to games is for casual fans who don’t really care that they are missing most of the game.

Ross should make Ireland buy the remaining tickets. It’s his fault there is no talent out there.

“Ezra954 the nfl will never agree to move this team from Miami.”

That is what they said in Cleavland. Those were real fans then also.

As a life long Dolphins fan, Its disapointing beyond belief. The saddest part is that games get blacked out even when the team is doing well. I believe we are still the only team in league history to have a playoff game blacked out.

League wide tickets prices need to drop. Frankly I wish all fans would stop showing up and force the league to drop it’s prices.

Maybe it’s time we the fans lockout league.

They buy out the Rrrrrraiders game but not the Jets? Last time I looked there are more people that would watch the Jets than The Raiders!

Another exciting Dolphins news article.

I have a question:

If Alex Spanos of the Chargers doesn’t buy them and Malcolm Glazer of the Bucs doesn’t buy them why should Ross?.

Look at it this way. Only 1 team can relocate to LA. LA Dolphins, not so much. LA Chargers sounds better and probably much more realistic. Sorry Miami, looks like you are stuck with the Fins.

Sadly the longer Ross buys the tickets, the longer Dolphins fans will rely on him to save the day. This won’t help create urgency in the fanbase and unfortunately will become the trend.

How about lower the ticket prices ? Doing a credible job on season seat relocations would help keep your season ticket base.

In Minnesota, for years the local TV networks bought up the tickets along with a few top companies to insure no blackouts.
That deal ended two years ago and now it just the owners and the local tv networks footing the bill. They lose too much advertising money if the game isn’t on.
They are hell bent for leather if you will to make sure they do not have a blackout. The reasoning is, once there is a blackout and the fans realize the world didn’t end, they will be less willing to buy tickets to loser games and be more picky. Thus, more blackouts.

Rumor has it that Stephen Ross called Woody Johnson and offered if the Jets start Tebow which could help a sell out, he will split the gate with Johnson.

Jets are 2-4 vs Miami in the Rex Ryan era… if the Dolphins are god-awful, what does that make the Jets???

Bad team or not, it’s pretty sad when the fanbase won’t show up to cheer against their hated rival. I am sure there are out of town dolfans that would love to go if they were local.

All the talk about Ireland being fired etc etc…. I will tell you something continually poor TICKET SALES will get him fired for sure.

Ticket sales are probably higher on an owners list of importance than actually winning games. Although to be fair wins/ticket sales do correlate. But you get my drift.

I cant imagine whose seat is hotter, Ireland or Holmgren.

How about you have another contest where the fans have to kick a 65 yard field goal? Or someone can suit up for a play and blitz the QB?

I’m sure your PR boys can come up with some more impossible gimmicks to get interest in the team.

Ezra954 the nfl will never agree to move this team from Miami.
However it would be great when Mr. Loss @ every cost Ross sell the team and take his lap dog with him Jeff.. Until then we want show up…

I wouldn’t show up either. JETS win by 24.

Mr. Ross, you must be so proud.

Your organization is now so irrelevant, you can’t even sell out a home game against the New York Jets.

You will be buying your own tickets with your own money to get your team on tv for as long as Jeff Ireland is your GM.

Quite the business model you’re workin’ there, pal.

I live in Miami. Bleacher seats for the Marlins games are 20 cents. If Ross offered tickets at that price I maybe would, actually no, I still wouldnt go.
