A Good Cause and A Good Cry
November 11th, 2009New England Week Photos
November 11th, 2009It 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.

Dolfans NYC Tailgate Video
November 8th, 2009Hey 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.
New England Week
November 7th, 2009This is the turning point in our season. If we can beat the Cheatin’ Pats we can be 4-4 and just a game out of first place in the AFC East with a 4-0 division record. If we win this game, we have a soft schedule ahead with a home game against the Patriots and only two other games against teams over .500. If we lose we are 3-5 and three games behind the Patriots. This is a must win if there ever was must win in the first half of a season. And we might have to do it without Crowder and big Jason Ferguson. Yikes.
Now, to celebrate this momentous game DolfansNYC is throwing a party. We are doing a big fundraiser for the game that hopefully you have heard about. We are going to have 40 bracelets available for $10 each which get you delicious catered food and a raffle ticket. We will also have raffle tickets available for $1 each. We know we have promised raffles before, but this time we are actually doing it. We have Dolphins signed items and some other random Dolphins stuff available. We are getting there at noon, and if the turnout is anything like the Saints game, the food is going to go fast, so get there early.
The proceeds from this fundraiser are going to be split between DolfansNYC and our adopted charity the I Will Foundation. The goal of this club from the begining was not only to bring fans together to watch “the greatest football team” but to try to do some good. We have spent a lot of money putting this thing together and are trying to recoup it so we can do more stuff for the club. But on top of that we want to raise money for charity and the I Will Foundation is a foundation helping injured people that was started by the owner of Third & Long.
Anyway, Michelle is going to be there before the bar even opens decorating the place and setting everything up. Come hungry, there is going to be a lot of food. It should be crazy so I hope to see you all out there. I am in Texas at my cousins wedding but managed to find a flight that lands me in JFK at 1130. It will be a mad rush to Third & Long straight from the airport. Let’s hope I make it.
Go Dolphins!
What’s Your Fantasy? Week 9
November 6th, 2009I’m back again with my recommendations for Week Nine of the NFL season. Check out the video for my apology to one of the most disrespected players in the league (hint: I may be wearing his jersey) and key players to stash for the stretch run. As always, we’ve got photos, music, and humor to keep you entertained, plus an appreciative viewer sends me a gift for saving his season. Go Dolphins!!
The Faces Of DolfansNYC
November 3rd, 2009Welcome to another exciting edition of The Faces of DolfansNYC. This time we interviewed fan club members at our big tailgate at the Meadowlands. One of our members showed up on crutches. That is dedication. We will be interviewing people every week for this segment so come get interviewed on Sunday for our beat the Patriots DolfansNYC fundraiser at Third and Long.
Sweeeep!
November 2nd, 2009The 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.

Dolphins Come To New York…
October 31st, 2009It is that time of the year again when our beloved Dolphins travel to our home city to take on the hated Jests. DolFansNYC is bringing a group of thirty people to the game and we will be tailgating. We don’t know where we will be yet, but if you email your phone number to dolfansnyc@gmail.com we will text you when we get to the Meadowlands and get set up. We will also be posting a message on the Facebook group and be updating our Twitter with tailgate info. For those of you not coming to the game I have a feeling Third and Long will still be packed. You might not have me yelling like a lunatic all day but I am sure someone will pick up the slack. Meanwhile, I will be getting throw out of Giants Stadium for kicking a Jets fan down a flight of stairs for using Chad Henne’s name in vain.
Anyway, since it is Jets week coming up, and we are all excited to run the Wild Cat up their asses, this is a perfect time to post my friend Dan Baxter’s video he made of us going nuts when Ronnie Brown took it into the end zone against the Jets during the last MNF game. I posted this in the Facebook group but haven’t posted it on the site yet. The sound is a bit messed up, but I think you will enjoy it anyway. And remember, as always, J-E-T-S Suck Suck Suck!
What’s Your Fantasy: Week 8
October 30th, 2009Once again I break down some of the fantasy winners and losers with my predictions for the upcoming week. In this video you’ll also find an apology for one bad pick from last week, which was thankfully offset by at least 5 good ones. Several surprises throughout the video include photos, music, humor and an attempt by DolfansNYC to sell its soul to a corporate sponsorship. Enjoy and Go Fins!!!
