That's a lot of cool Info I did not know JC. Thanks for updating my data brain! Man you original South Floridians have some cool memories about stuff I did npt know existed until 15 -20 yrs ago. Maybe that's why I'm so dumb about collecting Old Logo stuff? Its really kind of new to me in sense. I'm reliving it all as an adult .
I dealt with so many Aholes back in NYC over the years. Do you guys remember the story about 3 yrs ago about the Jets fan who was celebrating the Jets Playoff victory in his driveway? He was drunk and sliding on the Ice down into the street. Car came by and smoked him. That was my neighbor growing up! I can't prove it , but I had my car vandalized any time I put anything Dolphins related on to it. I'm pretty sure it was him and his brother. Didn't want to see him killed but.....I admit I chuckled for a second.
Sanchez got run over the next week or soon after........
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
