During Short Michelle and my trip to Miami we celebrated the Tampa Bay victory at Kim Bokamper’s sports bar. On the menu was a 3lb buger called The Beast. If you ate the whole thing you got the $30 burger for free. Watch my attempt at the unthinkable, all while the Patriots lost to the Colts. Thanks to the Shed Dawgs for cheering me on and of course to Michelle for putting the video together.
It’s Week 13 of the NFL season, which doubles as the final week of the regular season in most fantasy leagues. I’ve got all of the matchups to exploit to help you secure a playoff spot. This week’s recommendations include starting a couple of familiar names, benching a top-tier WR, and picking up a few risky and underrated players who could end up making a big difference. As always, we’ve got plenty of music, photos, and jokes for your viewing pleasure. Go Fins!!
Here is a video that Michelle put together from the Panthers/Dolphins game two Thurdays ago at Third & Long. Everything seemed so possible then… sigh… The video is great, I didn’t have time to get it up last week and I have been sulking this week, so here it finally is. If you haven’t been out to Third & Long yet this video shows you what it’s all about.
We finally have a chance to have a winning record this week. We dug out of a deep hole and find ourselves in a great spot. If we can beat the Bills this week and the Patriots lose to the Saints, next week sets up to be a battle for first place in the division. But before we can get ahead of ourselves we need to take care of these Bills. They are falling apart but they played a lot better last week under a new coach. They held Mo-Jo Drew to under 100 yards and TO had nearly a 200 yard game for them with Ryan Fitzpatrick replacing Trent Edwards. We can’t take this team lightly. Should be a fun one.
Now, I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving wherever you may have had it, but I hope you will be back in time. I am in DC myself right now, but I will be taking a train first thing in the morning to get to Third & Long in time for the game. I hope to see as many people out as we had last week, that was a fantastic experience. And to keep things interesting, check out this video of Dolphin great Kim Bokamper giving DolfansNYC a shout out from his restaurant in South Florida. If you are in town for a game, you have to stop by Bokampers.
Last Thursday was one of the craziest nights we have had. If you were there you know how packed it was. At the beginning of this clip I mention that we have interviews with 4 new DolfansNYC members… well it turned out we shot 5 videos and interviewed 7 people! You clearly have to check this video out because it includes a pretty amazing Dolphins tattoo. You have been warned.
As I mentioned before in my pictures from Web Weekend, Michelle and I went down to Miami for a gathering of people who run Miami Dolphins websites. It’s great to see everyone every year, but this year we were missing someone. Our friend Jim Miller had to miss this years event because he was overseas in Iraq. Michelle decided to make a tribute for him while we were down there and I am posting it in two parts below.
Now while a lot of this stuff is directed at Jim, there is tons of footage from our trip including shout outs from players, shots of Tony Sporano speaking to us, and pregame warm ups from the field. I think you will want to watch it. Also, if any of you have Dolphins fans overseas you might want to send them to them to let them know how much they mean to the Dolphins nation. And let’s bring em home soon.
I just about to head down to Third & Long for the Thursday night game against the Carolina Panthers. This was a win on my calendar two weeks ago, but since then Carolina has pulled out two big wins. Not to mention the horrible news of Ronnie Brown being out for the year. This could be a tough one. We win this, we have 10 days to get healthy, a game against a falling apart Buffalo team, and then into New England. If we can beat NE, we will own the tie breakers against them and the Jets in the event of a tie. These are some pretty big games.
Anyway, here is another video where you get to know members of DolfansNYC. Usually I introduce them, but since we only had a few of us down in Miami Michelle and I decided to interview ourselves as well. I was going to get someone else to do the introduction, but we completely forgot. So yeah, there is no introduction, just me awkwardly talking about why I am a Dolphins fan, and how this club began. Enjoy.
[Editors note, due to us not getting back from Miami till Monday night and the short week, we are running a bit behind. Photos and video coming soon!
Week 11 of the NFL season is here, and I’ve got another early edition to get your lineups set before tomorrow night’s big game against the Carolina Panthers. This week’s recommendations include starting everyone’s favorite Dolphin, benching a hated Jet, and hitting the waiver wire for three new starting running backs. As always, we’ve got plenty of music, photos, and jokes for your viewing pleasure. Go Fins!!
I am getting packed for my trip to Miami. Michelle and I are headed to the Tampa Game in Miami this weekend… But don’t worry, Third and Long should still be jumping because of all the people who make this club what it is. Want to meet four more of them? Check out the video below.
Ps. I will post about it again tomorrow, but I know a few of the DolfansNYC crew will be in Miami this weekend. Hit us up at DolfansNYC@gmail.com if you are going to be at the game.
It’s time to get you ready for Week 10 of the NFL season. With Thursday night games starting this week, I deliver an early edition of my fantasy picks after taking back everything I said about a player I recommended benching. Plus, I answer two questions from a lucky viewer in need of urgent advice. Check out the video for more photos, music, and humor. Go Fins!!!
