DOLPHINS: Easy win or trap game?

Fri Dec 19 04:36:56 GMT 2008

i went to one game in Oakland. I went with a Lions fan and wore
neutral colors. I saw one fan in Fins gear. Then I heard a story a
year or so later about a Dolphins' fan that was peed on.

Oakland really is a lovely place, though. :)

Given what Lee Ilia (??) once said about the Cubs fans, and the visual
evidence from the White Sox game a few years back, I'd think Chicago
would be up there too. Possibly also Buffalo. Baltimore?
