Draft. theres really nothing negative about it. It's all about hope, promise, and new faces. It embodies that feeling that change is coming (whether or not it is will be figured out later) but that feeling can't be taken away.

the rest really depends on how successful your team is...

but no one can take the draft from you!

 

Opening kickoff, no question.

It means football is back! :yes:

 

The draft

Training camp

The combine.

 

My favorite event is every time the Dolphins win. Nothing else comes close to that.

 

Hardknocks when the Dolphins are on it.

 

Like minds and like "likes" LOL

 

Playoffs

 

AmI the only one that thinks Super Bowl is the best? Invite a bunch of friends over, relax and watch the game. Best part is the friends can be a fan of any team iftheywatch football at all. I love Super Bowl parties

Guessing all the past Super Bowls correctly since the TBvs Oakland one ain't bad either ;)

 

It's hard to beat week 1 of the regular season.

 

Divisional round of the playoffs, Saturday and Sunday. So much good ball being played.

 

I have to say the draft. You still have the promise of what could be. Close second would be opening season game day.

Draft
Season opener
Superbowl
Playoffs
Free agency

 

Agreed

 

Start of the regular season for me. So many games, pools, bashing. And really, there's nothing better than spending 17 weeks of Sundays on my couch having beers, BBQ and yelling at the TV.

 

Why do I picture all the Jeff Ireland lovers saying the draft? "Lineman dayyyyyy!!!!!! Durrrrrrp!!!!" lol

 

This. I can't wait for the Dolphins to be in these games.

 

Opening week.

Everything else just builds up to week 1

 

opening weekend of the season, regular season in general, 4 TV´s running with 3 games and 1 TV with 4 windows of games, nothing can beat that for me, mainly because i´m not used to postseason play anymore

 

That's simple, "All of the above" (so I voted 'other').... But you missed the start of free agency, OTAs, minicamps, and Training camp....

 

The draft is my favorite day of the year period. Football or not. There's just so many unknowns. Where will they go? Will they be good? Also it's a three day period where your team can get significantly better in both the short term and long term. More than anything else, it can make or break your franchise for years.

 

Prolly the same reason the Ireland haters all voted the start of the playoffs...cause they think the Fins will never be there...

hehehehehe

 

Me too. The draft is like Xmas day for grownups. :)

 

Me too, but which reminds me, now it's favorite 3 days, but I hate the new draft format. I wish it were like before, starting Saturday morning, then finishing up on Sunday. Having it start at 8pm Eastern time, sucks for west coast working folks. There are many people who ain't even home yet by 5pm Western time.

 

Except when the Oakland Raiders decide to trade Randy Moss to the New England Patriots for a fourth round draft pick on the second day of the draft! :tantrum:

 

I picked opening weekend of the season.

I love the draft, however I love it more because there is football news and at this point I AM STARVED for REAL football news. So much happens in those three days that can be talked about for months.

However beginning of the season is real football and I love football.

 

Draft fan since I was a kid. Watched my first one while sick and trying to find something on TV, stumbled upon it and have been tuning in ever since. Always full of hope, ups and downs, unpredictable moments, every team gets a few shots to improve, seeking validation on opinions/obervations, watching the future enter the league.

Super bowl is ok, but really how great is it watching other teams go at it. Its a fun game usually, but has that limit on it. Same with playoffs generally. Opening week is nice, but teams are often rough still and the football itself can be underwhelming. Doesn't help that I have limited access to Phins games usually.

 

Same here. I have been watching the draft since I knew it was televised.

 

Dolphins fan so can't be the playoffs or Super Bowl. I really enjoy the Draft and will watch every second of it, but it's not actual football and after the Draft it's such a long time before what I see as the next big thing, preseason. With week one of the regular season you have went through the preseason games, including a 4th game where the starters see very limited time, and have waited for this since the previous season ended. The start of free agency and all the moves that go along with it, the Draft and seeing all the new players, the preseason games--it all leads up to this. There's just so much optimism and excitement in the air with our own team, and as a bonus... all the other teams are also playing! It signals that football is back, and for me, nothing is better than that.

 

It would be the playoffs if the Dolphins could ever get there on a somewhat regular basis. Until then, opening week baby.

 

This poll probably tells us more about where us fans see the Dolphins lately than anything else. We're more hopeful than expectant, hence picking the most hopeful events, the draft and the start of the season. Now, if we were a perennial playoff team with Superbowl aspirations I would bet the results would be a little bit different...

Hopefully we can do the poll again in a few years and compare.

 

Post game cheerleader showers !!! :tt1:

 

While the draft is exciting because it gives hope that the team is actually bringing in new talent to upgrade the roster. As history has shown over the past decade, the Dolphins draft has had far more misses than hits. It always has been and remains a crap shoot.

Opening weekend of the NFL season remains my favorite time of the season. Especially since the Dolphins really haven't been a major factor in the playoffs for years. Perhaps if they start making the playoffs on a regular basis again, the playoffs will become more relevant to me.

I am a Dolphin fan and I really couldn't care less about the playoffs or the Super Bowl if the Dolphins aren't involved in either of them.
