This part is nice
Next part, less so
Only the Dolphins would do this. If you're having a contest, make it a 30 yard FG that somebody has a legitimate shot to make. This is the equivalent of a rigged carnival game.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but little stuff like this is why this organization is a national punch line

Woohoo!
I got chosen to run a 40 yard dash for 50% ownership of the Dolphins at halftime of the Jets game! Woohoo!
All I got to do is beat Reggie Bush and I get the shares!

Other promotions coming down the pike:
UFC: If you can last 5 rounds with Jon "Bones" Jones, you get UFC tickets for life.
National Parks services: If you can kill a Grizzly Bear with your bare hands, you get full control of all the Natural Gas in every National Park in the US.
Treasury Department: If you can carry it all on your back, you can keep all the gold in Fort Knox.
South Beach tourism board: If you can outrun the new Lamborghini Aventador driven by a professional race car driver down Ocean Drive, you can keep it.HULKFish, MonstBlitz, Larry Little and 8 others like this. -

Yeah heard this on the radio and laughed. A 60 yarder, is that a joke? I once hit a 40 yarder messin' around on the FSU field and I was proud, but a 60 yarder come on.

So I started this hashtag on Twitter called #DolphinsHalftimeContests. Hilarity ensued.

My college did a punt pass kick from back of the endzone my freshman year for 40k. My roommate missed the kick (a 40 yarder) by a foot wide..
The next year the prize was no longer 40K and now 1K.
People don't like giving out prizes -
$10K is nothing. And even if the kick was 30 yards the odds of just a random guy/girl making it are pretty small, but at least it's no longer a carnival ring toss -
It's embarrassing. If they were gonna have a contest that's impossible to win, then at least make the prize bigger. Offer $100,000. Your money is safe either way. You could offer 10K for a 40 yard kick and still be good. It's just a woeful lack of foresight by whoever made that call.

I will personally write any of you a check for $50,000 if you can successfully name every single player in Dolphins history, give me their height and weight, and provide their social security numbers.
and you have to do it within the next 5 minutes. (sorry Stephen Ross, you don;t get my 50k)Frumundah Finnatic likes this. -
Just moved it to 40 yards per Volin and PFT
-
You know they are gonna double down and "select" some 80 year old lady with a walker to try it. -
Seems like this contest is generating a lot of buzz.
-
Looks like they're moving it to 40 yards. I'm gonna claim partial credit for this.

Did you take my joke and run with it on twitter or did I steal it without knowing? -

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even know about it. The owner doesnt deal with that stuff man. Go pound on whoever is in charge of the marketing department.djphinfan likes this. -
