One of the best annual rituals on Deadspin. I love these pieces. http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2015-miami-dolphins-1723928510
Love Deadspin. I'm obviously biased. So I would have put the Marino stuff more like, "The Dolphins have been so bad since around the late 70s that they got the greatest QB ever and only got him to one super bowl, and they got blown out in that one".
I spoke to Drew Magary about this piece on Twitter. I told him to admit that he is just bitter because Marino chose to retire rather than play for his Vikings. He...begrudgingly agreed.
Why our team sucks -Satire Amazing stuff! Deadspin does one for each team, read them all! The Browns are always a top notch one. http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2015-miami-dolphins-1723928510 Some of my favorites: *edit* Thanks for merge, my browser wasn't showing new posts for some reason. Also, the comments from fans they run at the end are amazing!
"If you want to see this football team completely implode and **** the bed, tell them they only need to win 1 game against meaningless teams to get into the playoffs. Feel free to bet your life savings against it...they cannot and will not do it."
"Tannehill gets better protection from his wife’s arsenal than from his teammates up front." "The last time the Dolphins were really good, we had two white running backs." "Philbin looks like the albino love child of Skeletor and Rick Scott" Those were my favorite Zingers. Poor Matt Moore can't even get enough recognition to be dissed. (Still think hes the best back up out there)
I fear this one will happen (again): Matt: This is the most talented roster we’ve had in 12 years. Harvard says we’re the best team in the AFC. Tom Brady is (for now) suspended for 25% of the season. And the Jets and Bills have the combined QB talent of Doug Funny. We’ll go 8-8. **** Joe Philbin. Sam: I have now had three decades of my dad regaling me with stories of the glory days he got to see, all while I am stuck following a team who I’ve only seen play in the Super Bowl in Ace ****ing Ventura. And this one is painfully true: Julio: Every year follows pretty much the same script: - Hey! We signed (insert BIG OVERPAID FREE AGENT name here)! I’m feeling pretty good about this season! - ::BIG OVERPAID FREE AGENT disgruntled or injured by game 6:: - That draft pick is not bad! I can see him being a solid contributor - :raft pick is bullied and gives up or is injured by week 7:: - We beat the Patriots/Seahawks/other team expected to do well early in the season! - Lose 5 games in a row immediately after - Ok, we’ve still got a shot at this. All we have to do is beat the 1-14 Jets in the last game and we’re in the playoffs! - Lose to the Jets by 30 - Get obnoxiously drunk and talk **** about how much it sucks to be a Dolphins fan And this from the comments: The Dolphins replaced their happy Dolphin jumping through a hoop logo with one floundering while gasping for its last breath, which has to be the most on-brand logo change in history.
they could be good, the offensive line apparently more concerned with protecting 48 oz fountain drinks than Ryan Tannehill..whose wife is welcome distraction among all the other really attractive women of Miami..oh wait Kenny Still replacing Mike Wallace? Oh nice, Nola had fire sale and Miami bought a floor lamp, while trading away a ferrari..but they got Suh..who does not score Td's..and to double down on mediocrity..they kept the fg kicker..oh..that should cause dolphins fans to sleep well at night...
Buffalo Bills: Pure Gold. http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2015-buffalo-bills-1724824323 Lots of pissing in sinks at the Ralph it seems. Thomas: The British burned this city during the War of 1812- I am pissed they haven’t come back to finish the job.
That is a great article. Hilarious. Sad part of course they ended w/ a better record than us. Oh, and all time classic audience pic there too.
