Game Day Pictures From The Raiders Game
Michelle and I were lucky enough to attend the Raiders/Dolphins game at Sun Life Stadium last week.

I was in Miami on business and Michelle was visiting her family. We got cheap tickets and got there early to tailgate.
I got to meet up with the Deep End guys and met a bunch of local crazy Dolfans.
Kyshawn from Dolfans NYC was there too and ended up sitting in the Deep End. Very cool. Next time I am in Miami I am gonna figure my way in there…
Anyway, I shot a roll of actual film at the game and I just got it developed. Check out real life 35mm film photographs of the amazing game below.
RIP Jim Mandich.

Pictures From The Raiders Party
Third and Long was probably the least crowded it has been all year, that is to say it was only kinda packed. The holiday weekend and the Bears drubbing thinned the heard a little bit but there was still a big crowd and we had as much fun as we have had all year. The Dolphins finally won a game convincingly and we had a blast.
Now usually I get these pictures up earlier than this and when we win I try to get them up right away but I was so busy because I had to go out of town. Where did I go? Miami. I am working as a photographer covering the Art Basel art fair in Miami and then going to the Dolphins game on Sunday. I will have more on that later but the important thing to know for this story is that I grabbed the wrong USB cord and I could not get the pictures from last Sunday off my camera. After shooting Basel for two days I HAD to turn in pictures to my editors at the Village Voice and the Miami New Times. At 5 am I went to Wallgreens and they didn’t have a USB cord so I went to CVS. CVS didn’t have them either. I was sort of panicked. I needed to get images to them by the morning or I might not get paid. I was about to give up when I saw some Miami Dolphins bracelets on the counter and bought them. The clerk at CVS was pretty much the only guy in the store at 5 am and he was big Dolphins fan. I talked to him about how much we hated the Jets for a while and the I came up with an idea. I would buy a scanner, get out the USB cord and return it. He told me he would do me one better. He would open it, pull out the cord and let me take it with me and return it. He told me since I was a Dolphins fan he would trust me. I thanked him for saving my life and ran out to the car and grabbed my computer and transferred all the files in the store right there. The guy saved my ass. I gave him a Dolfans NYC wrist band and he told me he would come up to see the Dolphins play the Jets in NYC one year. He said he has always wanted to do it. This all just goes to show you that you can always count on the kindness of Dolphins fans.
Sorry. It is 6:15 am and I have slept two hours since I got to Miami two days ago. I am not sure that story really made sense as I am nodding out as I write it, but I just wanted to share that story with you guys before I went to sleep. Enjoy the pictures from Third & Long last Sunday below. Click to open them in a new window so you can download them. Go Dolphins!

The Raiders
So this week we go to Oakland without Brandon Marshall and a quarterback question. Fortunately for us Oakland can be run on and if we are going to have a good run game all year this has to be it. Henne is probably going to get the start which is scary because Oakland has a decent pass rush and Henne will be in a knee brace. On the other hand if Thigpen starts he is 1-11 as a starter but his one win came at Oakland. I really have no idea what to expect from the game but I just hope it is a lot more fun than last week.
I also wanted to thank everyone who came out last week, we raised over $500 for The Miami Dolphins Foundation. It was a big success despite the game. This week at Third & Long we aren’t doing a raffle or anything but we do still have Dolfans NYC shirts for sale (although we are out of Mediums). All of the money still goes to charity minus random club expenses.
Speaking of the shirts… did you guys see Dan Marino with his? It’s a pretty good look…
Next week I am going to be in Miami for the Cleveland game and then we have the big trip to the Meadowlands for the Jets game so I won’t be at the bar for a few weeks so I hope to see everyone at Third & Long this week. No matter how badly the Dolphins play everyone still has a good time until the fat lady sings.
Go Dolphins!
