This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
I probably hated the Bills in early 90's more than any other team. It was largely because of them that Marino never got back to the Super Bowl. I still have nightmares of Brian Cox hopelessly chasing Thurman Thomas from behind and Bruce Smith pressuring Marino.
With that said, currently I hate the Patriots more than any other team. In particular, it is Brady and, now that my fantasy season is over, I sure I will hate Gronkowski too.
But remember that in the season that we spoiled Da Bears 1985 perfect season by beating them in the regular season, it was the Pats that upset us in the AFC Championship game and they were just a wildcard team.
Both Bear and Dolphin fans were aggravated by that because the Bears wanted a SuperBowl rematch.
But there were the Patriots, messing things up again.
1- Bill Belicheat
2- Tom Brady
3- not an opponent...but AFC East......Tom Olivadotti - he pissed away Marino's glory years.
4 - same as above Dave Wannestache
5- the 90's Bills
this may come across as glib and flipant....but honestly....Tom Olivadotti and Dave Wannestedt hurt us more than the Bills of the 90's, and more than the Jets.
We could have overcome our AFC EAST opponents if these two buttheads would have faced reality...and made the changes that were obvious to everyone else.
some thoughts...I respected Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas. Can't hate them. No-one can say they had the refs on their side, or they cheated. they were hard working and well coached. We should have beaten them on a few occasions.
I hated the Jets QB in the 90's....who was he? O'Brien! thought he was over-rated .
I'd say that hands down, it's been the Patriots that I've hated the most over the last ten years (legitimate reasons I'm sure we're all in agreement over), only until recently, when (basically ever since Rex Ryan became the head coach) the Jets became unbearably obnoxious disrespectful cocky classless and arrogant, walking around spewing their nauseating brand of self-congratulatory, self-aggrandizement, fueld by some undeserved sense of superiority, thus moving them right up to the top of the list of most hated AFC East rivals (or at least earning them a 1a-1b classification right along side the patriots).
*I challenge anyone to out-run-on that run-on sentence

Imagine my ballon knot/ taint, was a Tootsie Pop.......you get the Idea!
Klecko -- for his cheap shot that ended Stephenson's career.
Gastineau -- for being his obnoxious self in the 80s
Kelly/Thomas/Smith -- for the big rivalry in the late 80s/early 90s
Parcells -- for improving the Patriots and Jets and leaving a mess in Miami
1. OMG Realist - Hit the nail on the head with Olivadotti !
To this day I can only think he had pictures of Shula to have stuck around so long.
Olliva-idiot was the inventor or at least seemed to be of the prevent "here come let me hand you the game" defense when Marino would score he'd hand it back to the opponent with the prevent.
2. Next come Bellicheat, Add a ditto for Wanny, and throw in Saban for bad ideas for coaching here.
Jimmy Johnson was brought in after the rest of the league figured out he was a BS salesman and was not gonna let him swindle them on draft day ... thus a nonfactor in Miami.
3. Players I hated - Gastineau as he was the original reason for why we have celebration rules ... most of the rest I think were okay with me because they were competing ... just for other teams.

Obama out runs that run-on during every speech. He does this by, during his pauses, using long drawn-out aaaaaannnnnnddddds. It drives me nuts.
Steve Grogan, Stanley Morgan, Andre Tippett, Ray Clayborn, Mike Haynes, John Hannah, Richard Todd, Freeman McNeil, Wesley Walker, Mark Gastineau, Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith, Cornelius Bennett, Mark Kelso, Steve Tasker, Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Danny Woodhead, Rex Ryan, Bill Belichick.
There is a big difference between optimism and delusional.
I firmly believe that the only enemy the Miami Dolphins have is their own sense of "we are almost there".
Yes, with all the so called "a-holes in NY and NE" I firmly believe that the biggest danger to the Miami Dolphins is their sense of "we are so close".
I really do not care about the fan's menatlity as much as the team mentality, but I can only interact directly with other fans, so yes.
If you look at it as optimistic fans, then yes, for lack of a better word (I do not have hatred for most people) I "hate" the optimistic fans at this point in dolphins history. With "hate" really meaning "do not agree at all".
I currnelty believe the only optimism we should have is concertrating on the Miami Dolphins and knowing that we have not proven anything in the last 10 years, outside of one 11-5 year and a first round playoff spanking.
Lets start building a winning program again. As I am sure everyone does, I long for the days of the playoffs. I am very tired of watching a team that bascially cound bearly beat division 1 college teams for the first half of the season.
Up by 15 point to Denver with 5 minutes to go and Denver has a QB that is as easy to read as the sunday comics.
I hated the Parcell's era Jets. Jimmy Johnson could not beat them to save his life. Dan Henning was their OC too. Curtis Martin, Keyshawn...Fireman Ed. I hate those mofos
