Maybe we havent played a relevant January game in quite a few years. Maybe its been since the mid 90s when we have had a QB that we all believe in like Christians do the Pope. And...yeh, maybe our stadium can be empty and still at times. But...nobody should ever doubt the love that so many of us have for this football team. We race to the net to see if we have made a huge move, even when theres a week before such a move can be made. We hang on the words of our brethren who started studying film tape of potential Dolphins draft targets, and have turned their love and passion into a nationally recognized web resource. We get goosebumps when someone posts a video called "The Night Courage Wore Orange" on youtube, when we beat the 12-1 Pats on a warm South Florida December night. We argue over whether or not a salary is a good value for our team, even though not a cent of his salary comes from our pockets. Every day, 365 days a year, we gather here on this site, and others just like it...to hope and dream, and somehow, someway coax some life back into this franchise. So...as we get set to start free agency 2013..... We may not play, we may not be a part of a front office.....but...there is not doubt...that fans like you and I... We are the Miami Dolphins...and we will forever bleed aqua and orange! [video=youtube;riFY4A6wXIU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riFY4A6wXIU[/video] Saw this over at finheaven and wanted to share...
Still have my VHS tape of that game. Will never forget that night. To me it was like winning the Super Bowl. I screamed like a little girl all night long. Wow! That brings me back.
With so much arguments going on this time of year it is nice to see that they are all for the best of our team and that the fans here are so dedicated to their team. Great post!
Cool post but it was most definitely not a warm December night...it was south florida cold that night...somehere in the 30's IIRC...
I did recall almost correctly....that was also the night they gave out commemorative fake gold coins....i still have that thing.

I remember thinking there was hope for A.J. Feeley after that game. Beyond that, was as awesome as it was unexpected that night!
