I don’t even want to talk about it.  I am not sure if it’s better or worse that New England got killed today. We should be playing for first place next week.  Kill me.

Wow, last Thursday was crazy. We packed that place.  This club has really become something.  When Ricky scored at the end of that game, I thought the place was going to come apart. It’s great to be back at 5 and 5 and with the Cincy, Pittsburgh and Denver all losing we are in pretty decent shape for the Wild Card. We still have games against Pittsburgh, Jacksonville & Houston and have a chance to put ourselves in good shape with wins in all three of those games.  Of course none of it will matter if we don’t take care of the division.  With Buffalo and New England coming up, this should be an exciting few weeks of football.

Anyway, check out all the pictures from last week below and please send positive thoughts towards Jake Grove’s ankle.  We really need him back.

It took me a few days to get back to the computer after that awful loss against the Patriots.  We just seem to want to throw away these winnable games. Still, our fund raiser nearly doubled what we were trying to raise and we are going to be able to give the I Will Foundation a pretty decent check.  I think people had a lot of fun.  I only shot a few photos because I hadn’t slept and because I was freaking out about the game, but the ones I shot are pretty nice. You should check them out below.  As always double click the slide show to get to our Flickr site and download the pictures.  We will have video up soon.

Hey guys! Sorry this is so late. It’s just been one of those weeks. So, I know everyone’s getting jazzed for the game against the Pats (I’m so excited!!), but I just wanted to go back to last Sunday for a second and talk about how ridiculously AWESOME that day was! And I was able to relive it while editing this video for you tonight.

The Dolphins took out the Jets yesterday and may have redeemed Ted Ginn at least for a few days. It was a great thing to watch and we were there.  DolfansNYC turned out in force and we helped take over the stadium. It was beautiful.  Besides the 30 tickets we bought as a group a ton of other members came out to tailgate and we had a blast.  We passed out nearly 300 flyers for the club, so I expect next Sunday’s tailgate party/fundraiser for the Pats game to be nuts.  We have worked it out so there will be a huge spread of food at Third and Long that you can gorge yourself on for $10 which goes to promoting the club and to Third & Longs charity the I Will Foundation.  But back to yesterday…

I took a ton of pictures of the tailgate and Michelle shot a lot of video. We will have two new videos going up this week and Michelle is going to give you her own recap of our tailgate party.  What a weekend.  Check out the pictures below and as always double click the slideshow to go to the Flickr page to download the images.

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.

So who’s still thinking about that game on Monday night??? I know we are!!! The Dolphins looked amazing and scored their second win of the season. What made it even sweeter is that it was against those stinking Jets!
Stay tuned for photos from the bar.

Guess what guys?! We have THIRTY Dolfans going to the Meadowlands on November 1st for the rematch. We’ll be in sections 306 and 326. If you want to join us for tailgating, please e-mail dolfansnyc@gmail.com

Enjoy the bye weekend and we’ll see you on October 25th for Dolphins vs Saints!

PS….Mark the calendar — tailgate party at Third and Long for Dolphins vs Patriots on November 8th!

LET’S GO DOLPHINS!!!

Finally we have something to smile about! It’s so much easier taking photos when we are kicking the snot out of another team… Especially the hated Bills.  Even though the Patriots are probably the most hated team in the history of football, and the Jets have given us nightmares over the last decade, I still hate the Bills most of all.  Growing up watching Jim Kelly keep Dan out of Super Bowl after Super Bowl I just get enraged whenever I see blue and red.

Anyway, I think I got some good pictures this week, check them out below. If you want to download a picture, click the slide show and it will link to our Flicker account.

Thanks so much for the amazing turnout on Sunday as the Dolphins beat the Bills to finally break the losing streak! We had an awesome time at Third and Long and cannot wait for MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL when we face our hated rivals, the New York Jets!!!! Photos from the bar on Sunday will be posted soon.

And speaking of the Jets….as many of you know, we bought 20 tickets to attend the November 1st game Fins vs Jets at the Meadowlands. All 20 tickets have been snapped up already. However, we’ve had a lot of people express an interest in going in on additional tickets. We can certainly buy another row of 10 seats, but need a guarantee that you are able to reimburse us the day of purchase (like we did with the last set of tickets).

The total came out to $86 and the seats are in the 300’s sections.We have one row on one end of the stadium and one row on the other end. There’s no guarantee with Ticketmaster that the 3rd row will be in the same section as the others, but there’s a good chance it will be close by.
If you are interested, please let us know so that we can try to coordinate all the details.
We will know as we get closer to the date as far as tailgate details and where we can all meet up to pre-party. More info to follow….

Coming up….
November 9th — Dolphins vs Patriots – We will be hosting a tailgate party at Third and Long! Decorations, snacks, specials prizes, charity raffle, etc etc. Mark your calendars!!!

See you on Monday night! Game starts at 830!
