Wednesdays are usually when I can start dealing with life after a Dolphins loss.  This one stung extra badly and every time I am reminded of football I get flashbacks to Drew Brees dismantling the Dolphins after the 28 best minutes of football the Dolphins have played in a decade. Can we get over this? Personally, I probably will be able to sleep 8 hours without having a nightmare involving a wide open Ted Ginn dropping a pass one day, but I am not sure the Dolphins can get back into the hunt.  They are now dead last in the AFC East with two tough division games.  If we can manage to win the next two games, things soften up quite a bit and we will be 4-0 in the division.  If we lose one of the next two, it is pretty much game over as far as 2009 goes. I still have hope.

I took a lot of photos before half time of the Saints game and you can check them out below.  People were in a joyous mood as we sang the Dolphins fight song until our throats hurt.  I want to look at these photos and pretend the thirty minutes that followed them never happened. If you click the slideshow below it will take you to Flickr where you can download the pictures for your Facebooks or Friendsters or whatever the kids are doing these days.

Huge game this week against the Saints.  We are up against probably the best team in the NFL right now.  If we can take this game we will be back to  .500 and serious contenders.  If we lose, we go into two huge divisional games 2 games back.  I can’t wait.
Third & Long should be packed for this game and I hope most of you can make it out. And remember its the 4:15 game so you have all day to get mentally prepared.

I wanted to give you guys and update on our website.  I was hoping it was going to be ready to launch today, but it’s not quite there.  I think it will be up in the next 48 hours though for sure. I will send out another message then.  We are looking for contributors to the site, so if you have any ideas let  me know

I also wanted to mention two events we have coming up:

Next weekend is the Dolphins/Jets game in the Meadowlands.  We have purchased 30 tickets as a group and I know a lot of other people are going.  We are planning at tailgate so we will let you know as soon as we find out where we are going to be.  That should be crazy.

The weekend after that is the first Patriots game and we are going to be doing a DolfansNYC fundraiser.  We have had some expenses and plan on having some more over the rest of the season so we are trying to raise $250 to pay for this stuff. We are going to do a tailgate at Third and Long with food and raffles and some other surprises. There will be a $10 suggested donation for food and $1 raffle tickets for Dolphins stuff. Any money raised over $250 will be donated to Third and Long’s charity The I Will Foundation.

Okay, so thats that.  I hope to see you all out tomorrow and as always, Go Dolphins!
