    Sorry Fin-D. He must have been right, and everyone here on the forum is marrying their celebrity crush. Santa Clause is leaving us all 70" TVs this year as well.

    chad Johnson's gets his dirty mouth from his wife, she's gross honestly, I watched her on a tv show stand up and call another woman every name in the book, over and over again, and I don't mean just f bombs, it was ugly man, and she totally thought she was the Queen while she was doing it..

    To address this more directly, it's not about being optimistic. It's about being realistic and not sounding like an idiot living in a fairy tale.

    If he had said "I believe Tannehill is going to take us to the playoffs in three years" or something like that, it would sound possible and optimistic at the same time about his future. When you say what he did and other fans watch it, it makes us all look ignorant.

    Is she a regular on some tv show? I was under the impression she was a minor celebrity of some sort before she and Chad got together.

    Like I said, its a good thing you were there otherwise the happiness disease with the team will spread like wild fire. And if there's one thing this team has too much of, its happiness and optimism. They should put you in the ring of honor.

    It was some sort of reunion ion show where they were all together after the fact, I only stopped because I couldn't believe what I was seeing on national tv, and how a woman would act like that...

    I didn't smack the man and tell him to shut up. I said his opinion was a bit ridiculous because it was.

    all I know is that Dawn Aponte is a mega-minion.

    and btw that fan steeped in blind belief was the most interesting and fluid sentence in the whole show. At first I was like this guy's just clownin', then he kept going even though he's squirmin' the whole time; teetering between loyalty and disbelief in his mind. It was supremely, cautiously optimistic...I imagine him steppingback and dancing while. asking the cameraman if he wants the towel on his head ala one of my all-time favorite movie clips...

    If that were me on camera, I would have said the exact same thing. You gotta believe. That's what being a fan is all about.

    Really though? I'd have said something like "I really believe Ryan has the skills to be a top QB in this league, excited to see him play"'

    Not something that makes the entire fan base look unrealistic and bad...you can be optimistic while still being realistic and not setting goals like that.

    No No Alex. You be Happy. You be happy and optimistic right now! You rejoice in 1 playoff appearance in 11 years. You expect to go to the SuperBowl EVERY YEAR. You be happy, stay quiet, and act as if all is well. I don't care if we win no playoff games in 30 years. You have no right to have anything but the highest expectations, and give the utmost support.

    If you really loved this team, you wouldn't try to change it. You'd love it just the way it is.

    You're over-analyzing it dude. He's a die hard fan who loves the team. Most would have said the same or something similar.

    What should have he said? "Watching this team gives me herpes. I'm here for the herpes."?

    "Ryan's da future. 2 Years supa bowl baby. You watch!!!"

    Its something I'd expect a pizza slinger in Cortland to say.

    So because we haven't had success recently we aren't supposed to believe in the team?

    Recently?

    No. Because we've sucked for over a decade, you don't claim to be going to the super bowl. Its not that hard fellas.

    Hopeful, sure. Optimistic, why not. SUPA BOWLZomg, stop it.

    The Green Bay Packers need all the chips to fall the right way, stay healthy, get hot, get the breaks, and hopefully a SuperBowl bounces their way.

    You don;t see the enormous leap between optimistic/hopeful and super bowl predictions???

    Is this the pofo?

    So, we fans are supposed to try to change it? How would we do that? Send suggestion letters to Ireland and Philbin? Hire planes to display Fire Ireland banners above the field during games?
    I guess fans complaining on forums are their way of telepathically doing their best to change the team. That should help.

    Hey man, I'm not saying it's going to happen, but to get on a FAN for saying that is kind of ridiculous. It's how fans react. Especially with a camera in their face.

    Also, I watched a 1-15 team win the division the following year with a brand new regime. 1-15!!! I've watched sports long enough to know that anything is possible. Sure, there's a lot of heartache involved, but you never know. That's why sports are great.

    Because of your typical backwards Camaro logic, you don't see that you are the one telling people how they should feel about the team. All I'm saying is there's no need to crush another Dolphin fan's dreams or happiness. If you want to sit around punching your rage boner with a broken glass wrapped fist while screaming, "Iiiiiiiiiirrrrrreeeeeellllllllaaaannnnnnddddddddddddddddddd, why do you forsake me!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Go for it no one cares....except for maybe your neighbors if you are yelling too loud. But maybe instead you should call Vinny and The Situation, see if you guys can maybe get you some new Quaker State for your hair, dry clean the fuzzy dice, split a pie and then jump in the hot tub and talk about each other's abs in purely "platonic" way. Then resume your hate after the exhibition game. Just a thought, I'm not judging you or anything.

    It seems kind of ridiculous to get on some fan's case for saying what that guy did. For one thing, he had an HBO camera in his face, and while if he'd have time to plan his comments may have tempered them a bit, but who knows how any of us would react in a similar situation? And as you said, if he turns out to be right, it wouldn't be the craziest thing to ever happen in pro sports, or really even close to it.

    Exactly, it's why we need to step it up and find some channelers and procure some kind of alien thought control technology...I know what you're thinking, why not just ask Dawn Aponte how she became a robot that rivals credit card collection agents, but I'm telling you psy-ops like that take a lot of time. I mean where are we going to keep Ireland, killer's house?

    Thats it...you're getting a list.

    A. My neighbors are old, they dont hear me.
    B. Doin the Tong Po is so 2008.
    C. My abs speak for themselves.
    D. I am not telling anyone what to do. I'm defending the posters who thought the "Dolphins Supabowl!!!" guy was cringe-worthy. It made me cringe. You wanted to high five him. Why do you care if it made some of us cringe? Actually, don't answer that, cause I don't care.
    E. I'd at least like to see us escape October with a + .500 record before hearing about Superbowls.
    F.rancis, is that ok with you? Want some baby powder for your gooyaa, before you put on them birkenstocks, go throw red paint on old ladies in fur coats, and hug it out with a couple needy weeping willows?
