They should include Ireland in the group and provide the ticket holder with a paddle to beat him with. That would be a real jesture of appriciation.
They've been doing some of this kind of stuff recently. I dated a girl whose father had season tickets for something like 25+ years, and when he cancelled them they had Nat Moore call him. I don't really blame him for not renewing in that case.
In all seriousness, this is very cool. And very awesome of Fields to do. Punter or not, he's a big part of our team, and it would mean a lot to long time dolfans. (I know I'd love to meet him at my work or house) Kudos dolphins.
such a mix of emotions reading this: 1) We suck so bad players have to visit fans to keep their season's tickets 2) But they don't get Reggie Bush, or Tannehill. They get the Punter. Typical Phins. I bet the other players' agents were like, "No ****ing way" 3) But then again, the punter is the best player on the team, so again, this is good. 4) But, holy ****, the Punter is our best player. 5) Full circle, back to Holy ****, we suck so bad. lol.
They should include Ireland in the group and provide the ticket holder with a paddle to beat him with. That would be a real gesture of appriciation. Gold.
My wife: "Good Lord, don't they have a Sales Department?!?" lol. I just think it's humiliating for our former players and current players to shill products. Maybe they could sell peanuts in the stands at halftime to get concession revenue up.
Bruce Allen (Redskins GM) visited the tailgate party of my buddy's with Redskins tickets one week. Sadly, it was a week when his wife and sister-in-law were using the tickets so he didn't get the earful he would have gotten otherwise. It just occurred to me that Bruce Allen was totally trying to swoop in on two eligible women 20 years younger than him! Seriously, this is a nice gesture and is probably more related to the tough economy than the team's record.
You guys will find aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyy reason to ***** lol omgdz its so humilatingz omgdz how darez theyz omgdz we are the only onez *throws self on cross*
Nat Moore called my father, too (season tickets from 1973-2010). It didn't work, but he tells me it was hard to say no to him.
It's a nice gesture, and really good of Brandon Fields. But would anyone else find this awkward? "Oh, heeeeey Brandon Fields. What's happening?" I mean, it looks good on paper but it could get weird really quick.
Nat actually has some sort of executive position with the team now and I think it might be in sales. That is probably why he was calling.
I'm curious, has your dad seen enough from the new regime to renew again, or will it take more? I would think your dad would be a nice case study about our home game support, or lackthereof.
For a negative nancy, sure it would. I am sure they werent hanging around getting a tour of the town home. They snapped some pics and took off. You make it seem like Fields was like "Hey, wheres the master bedroom? Got some orange juice?"
No need to get defensive, I'm not trashing the team for the gesture. It's nice and necessary that they try and placate loyal fans. But can you honestly say with a straight face that if this was actually a surprise you would find nothing awkward about this? Let me paint a picture that may or may not be accurate - Let's say you're at home in sweatpants getting ready to settle in for a nice long bender of video games. Maybe you've even had a couple drinks. Wife is in the other room watching the mother ****ing bravo channel or something like it. The kid is having a good time playing with his Christmas toys. All of a sudden a knock at the door. You open it up and there's TD running around like a jackass and Brandon Fields. Along with some publicists looking to snap a few pictures. "Oh hold on a sec guys, we all have to get dressed in our Dolphin gear." You leave them on the doorstep, get dressed, get some pictures taken. Then there's an awkward few minutes where you have a fake conversation with Fields. And you try not to let your wife catch you gawking at the cheerleader who at this point couldn't be anymore disinterested in the whole scene. See what I'm getting at? On paper it looks good. In practicality, it could be more of an awkward inconvenience. But maybe that's just me. All that said, I'm sure there was some prep work done to make sure this family would enjoy the experience and it looks like they legitimately enjoyed it so that's cool. Also looks like they had a little notification so the scene I painted might not be entirely accurate.
I see it as a positive. It was a good gesture and the people *****ing about it are saying more about themselves than about the team.
I wear sweatpants WITH my dolphins jersey. My son would be playing with his miami dolphins train. And my wife would be watching greatest superbowl moments. and would probably invite the cheerleaders in for some group sex. Sorry your life sucks. But that would be ****ing awesome if they knocked on MY door.
