Exactly like my Dad. He lived dodgers baseball as a kid. I see his eyes light up even now when he talks about those early days at Ebbits field. He got into it again because of me in the 70's when the Mets were a force to be reckoned with. Yankees is a bad word in my house. Football wise as a Kid the Giants moved to Jersey early on , never considered them a local team. I don't know what it was, but I hated the jets right away. It was a natural instinct. My dad disillusioned by the Dodgers fiasco Never had a favorite NFL Team. So I adopted the Dolphins early on , right around 73' because they were the best and they were everywhere. I loved the colors and they just grew on me. I didn't become Dieheart though until around 83' when #13 took over the throne. I was hooked , hook line and sinker from that time on. Dad even today watches with me and my boys and roots for them but only because we do. The Dodgers killed his sprit indefinitely.
Miami might suffer the same fate if they don't play ball NFL style because they hold all the cards. Plenty of places will give them what they want if they don't.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
