“It’s important to win,” Sparano said at his daily press briefing. “Every time they keep score and every time we get a chance to compete out there, we want to win.

That's it Mark....we have to win as much as possible. Get everyone thinking winning is the norm. We have to get that winning mentality back in Miami.

I completely agree. Yeah at the end of the day if you go 0-4 or 4-0 in preseason it isnt very important but what is important is having the mentality of trying your best to win everytime you're out there. I like it.

Id rather have a coach who is too competitive (Tony) than a coach who isn't competitive enough (cam)

I like a coach who never takes a game for granted and always tries to win. I probably sound like a homer but IMHO Sparano is the coach we have been waiting for since Don Shula retired.

the hunt.... is on

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

I just hope that our 1's are better than their 1's and our 2's are better than their 2's and our 3's are better than their 3's.

As far as winning the games, really does it matter? If we really wanted to win, we would play our 1's the whole time.

Do you really think or believe that the coaches care about the score of the games in the preseason? When they say yes, they are lying.

I would have to agree we have not had a coach like this sense Don Shula and it is great
