When Short Michelle and I started Dolfans NYC she was hanging out with a guy named Alex who was a huge basketball fan. He was a Sacramento Kings fan for some insane reason.  He liked football and was pretty good at fantasy football but it wasn’t a big part of his life. If you asked him what his favorite team was he might have even uttered the foulest of words “JETS”. But Michelle would never be caught dead dating a filthy Jets fan and she told him that he either pledge allegiance to the Aqua and Orange or she would never date him much less marry him.  Luckily for us he changed his tune and not only did he start rooting for the Dolphins but he took to it like a fish to water, so to speak…

Alex started blogging for the site and giving his fantasy tips every week in video form. He brings bags of Dolphins gear to every Dolfans NYC meeting. He wears his Ted Ginn Brandon Marshall jersey with pride. He screams SUCK SUCK SUCK after ever J – E – T – S chant.  He has become one of us and now Michelle has become one of him.

As of yesterday, May 29th 2011, Short Michelle Stark has become Short Michelle Kramers and we couldn’t be happier. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Kramers, I wish I could have been there for your wedding in sunny Miami Florida but don’t worry, I got you a present. It’s not a blender, a toaster or a silverware set. I can’t ruin the surprise but I will give you one hint… It’s aqua and orange.

Enjoy your honeymoon guys and as always… Go Dolphins!

First of all let me apologize for not getting these pictures up sooner. I have been out of town a lot and Short Michelle and Alex are busy planning their wedding next weekend. Combine that with the lockout and a less than exciting first round pick and it all adds up to me posting this weeks late.  Sorry.

I also want to say that when I say less than exciting about Mike Pouncey only mean that being a lineman isn’t exactly someone you spend a lot of time watching highlights of. I am pretty happy with the pick and the draft over all. Let’s just hope we can improve our back field in the off season.

The Dolfans NYC turnout was a little low this year as was the turnout of the draft in general. It rained the night before when we had to wait in line, and of course the lockout thing, so pretty much just the die hard football fans showed up. A lot of the Dolfans NYC die hards had to work too. But even after all that we still had a pretty good turn out and filled up an entire row of the draft.  We brought along ALRIGHT MIAMI signs for Jim Mandich and even got Roger Godell to hold one up for us. Mad Dog had just died and we wanted to try to get out signs on TV to show our love and express the sadness of Dolphins fans everywhere.  Luckily we made it on both NFL Network and on ESPN!

Anyway, we all had a blast, and I think it’s too late to give a draft wrap up, so why don’t you guys just check out all the pictures and we will see you soon. We should have some new videos up once Michelle gets back from her honeymoon!
