Okay... football is at a crawl. The message boards are vacant of discussion. Tumbleweeds blow across the barren landscape of NFL talk. So, what do you do to keep occupied when you get bored around this time of year? Here are some things I do: 1) Start random threads and watch them get viewed 47 times with 0 responses. 2) Refresh ThePhins.com to see if there are any new threads. 3) Play video games for awhile. 4) Any new threads? No. 5) Go to the gym. Wear my new Ronnie Brown jersey. Think I look cool while other people wonder why i am dressed that way. 6) Between sets at the gym, check my blackberry for responses to my thread. ONE! Awesome! Oh, it's just my own response I added because I forgot to mention something in the initial thread. 7) Realise I screwed up the spelling of a word in the thread title. And can't change it. 8) Go home. Make food. Check ThePhins.com. Nothing new. ATZ has posted an article from the Sun-Sentinel that I already read this morning. I thank him anyways. 9) The hell with ThePhins.com. No one posts there! I check palmbeachpost.com, theherald.com (I hate you Armando), sun-sentinel.com (again), profootballtalk.com. In sum, I learn that four days ago Quentin Moses missed Jason Taylor. 10) I get desperate. As I eat I check PFW, ESPN, CNNSI.... hell, I even check sportingnews.com Is that really true about A-Rod? hm. 11) It is evening. Another productive day. WAIT! Someone other than me has responded to my thread! It is Shou... he says he thinks my boredom is about the intangibles. I thank him for his insight. 12) I take off my Ronnie Brown jersey, hang it next to the calendar that reads JUNE. I stare at them sullenly. 13) Turn on the TV. Try NFL network. Oh, goody, they are replaying a Browns game from October. Riveting. I leave it on in the background anyways. (maybe I'll learn about one of their players and we will acquire him someday) 14) My thread has been moved to SPAM. With the prime visibility of this new venue, the responses REALLY increase at an amazing, frenetic pace. 15) I consider masturbation, but it's too hot and maybe someone has replied to my thread. 16) Mercifully, Desides and Stringer Bell disagree about the future of the CBA, unfortunately it's on a thread about the 3-4 defense. I am enthralled for hours by the apocalypse that ensues. For a brief moment, there is life on Mars. 17) I am getting sleepy. I am hitting F5. I am getting sleepy. I am hitting F5. 18) Some major media outlet announces Ronnie Brown barely knows how to place one foot in front of the other. I am so grateful they have helpfully disabused us of the notion that he is actual an NFL-caliber runningback. My incendiary hatemail to the editor and journalist wake me up nicely. 19) 2am in Los Angeles. That makes it 5am in Miami. If I hang on just another hour maybe CNC will be up and he might post something. I wonder if any of the Dolphins are awake yet? Parcells is probably already hunched over the entrance columns of Dolphins HQ like a fat gargoyle. 20) I fall asleep in the midst of a "Quick Post". Sadly, not quick enough. The world will never know that *I* was the one who predicted Paul Soliai for the Pro-Bowl! 21) I have a nightmare. I see the staff list and roster. It reads: Head Coach: Cam Cameron OC: Mike Mularkey: DC: Tom Olivadotti QB: Ray Lucas RB: Cecil Collins WR #1: Lamar Smith WR #2: Lamar Smith WR #3: Lamar Smith TE: Ed Perry OL: None .... CB: Reggie Howard CB: Jamar Fletcher CB: Dorian Brew DT: Norman Hand LB: Eddie Moore DE: Pete Stoyanovich Then I wake up and post my new thread here on ThePhins.com Hey... I'd love to hear what YOU do during the day to pass the boredom while football is at low ebb. Or shoot me your all-time worst Dolphins roster. Either way, I'm an addict and this is the only thing keeping me going 'til the candyman comes back to town with some product when training camp opens! Go Phins! Go ThePhins.com! Bpk
