I give up---I throw in the towel---I surrender....

You go to a restaurant and the food is bad, you may not go back to that restaurant. Then again, you may give it another chance and when you do---the food is still bad.

You go to a M. Night Shyamalan movie, because he made a good one years ago, and his new movie is bad... you may go to his next to give him the benefit of the doubt---hey every Director has had a stinker--- but then that one is bad to.

You fuck the pretty girl or guy because they're ---well--- pretty. Thing is he or she is a lump of blah in bed and it ain't that good. You try it again because---well she or he is pretty, but it is still blah.

Imagine doing the above over and over and over again ----and over and over and over again....

Since the year 2000 I have been doing the same thing over and over and over again.

I have been watching shit football.

I have been watching my team---the team I grew up with---the team of Don Shula---the only team with a perfect football season---I have been watching them put out an inferior product, a shit sandwich in trumad's vernacular, and I'm through with it.

I'm done---13 seasons of shit sandwiches...no more.

I don't eat at bad restaurants --- I don't watch M. Night movies anymore.... I don't fuck pretty girls or guys because---well---I'm an old fart and those days are gone.....and I'm straight.

Yeah I know I'm venting--- my team just lost to a guy named Thad.

Seriously though--- I got better things to do on a Sunday than eat shit sandwiches.

I take offense at the headline of your thread--I am not a disposable towel!

Do you think 13 years of crappy football is unusual? You obviously weren't a fan of the Houston Oilers and while the Dallas Cowboys lead their division, nearly every Texan knows that they aren't going anywhere.

Since there isn't much I can do to help you, I'll go ahead and give you one of these:

grew up watching Marino and now he watches his college team instead. Unfortunately they both lost today.

I received this message from her today after the game:

RE: Go Dolphins!
from Erika to you

did the fins win?

Erika

My reply simply said "burn the jersey."

I'm a Cubs fan and often ask myself, "Why?" It's an addiction. Someday they may possibly be good and then it'll be my turn. So hang in there. It'll get better.

Up by 14---Miami manages to fuck it up again.

Ryan Tannehill is quickly turning into a big time bust. His second half skills are horrible.

4 in a row--- probably miss the playoffs.. I'm done.

and the guy is young. He needs to learn to not get rattled, but that's not impossible.

QBs were never given the starting job right out of college. So, Tannehill isn't Luck. Or Wilson. Maybe he needs a little more time to develop, or one more offensive playmaker. Maybe his coaches suck. A lot of people gave up on Alex Smith too.

Admittedly ... I haven't seen much of the Dolphins.

Very indecisive. .... horrible under pressure. I have seen a shit load of quarterbacks come through Miami since Marino left.... he's just like the rest of them. He has no magic. I'm telling you....he ain't it.

He was playing well until Buffalo & New England. Probably needs more time to develop some consistency.

Locker is playing well and came along slowly first couple of seasons.

is really flourishing? BTW, Luck came from a pro-style offense at Stanford, so it wasn't all new to him.

I do respect trumad's evaluation. I don't see much of the Dolphins.

On the up side, neither of those teams are worth it. Never have been.

Miami Dolphins cheerleaders’ website hijacked by porn operator

<snip>

"A porn operator hijacked the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders' website.

Just what the NFL franchise needed in the middle of a four-game losing streak.

Nearly 24 hours ago, the Fins' official hotties were replaced by porn stars caught in all kinds of XXX situations on the team's official website — only when it's accessed from a phone.

“Obviously, this is not our doing,” said Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene. “We will correct the situation shortly."
