Those whacky dolphins

I don't follow them anymore, but I felt the need to say something about the state of the franchise.

First, you have the owner, who cares not about the team, the city, or anything other than being an owner. He's a friend of the trump and "speaks to him regularly"... his decision to step down from the committee on relations after it was found out he was hosting a fundraiser for trump was predictable. As was the trade of Kenny Stills - an outspoken critic of the owner.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say he gets none of my support or my money. Because F- that.

Then, you have this idea of "tanking" (which is actually a funny way to say it since dolphins are in tanks at the seaquarium, and there was one in the end zone in the early days of the team). You're expecting people to support you (either in investing time, money, or whatever) in spite of the crap you're putting out there? Suckers if they do, I guess. But how rude of you as a team.

And I'd just like to remind you that this "churn" has been going on for two decades. They've replaced coaches, GMs, players, had huge roster changes, and wound up with the first overall pick and the second overall pick in that time...and have thus far been unsuccessful at rebuilding the team.

And the nfl historically has not worked this way. I can't imagine it will be much different this time around. Insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result. Yeah. Good luck.

And for people to buy into it...wow. Suckers.

Peter Gabriel’s Secret World Tour

This week makes it 26 years since I saw what might very well be the single greatest concert ever conceived. I admit I was skeptical going in, but it was nothing short of phenomenal and I still think about it from time to time.

You can get a sense of what it was like from his site.

But the one part of the performance, the song that sticks with me, is “In Your Eyes” which had this amazing sort of energy.  It had (and still has) a sort of lose-yourself-in-the-moment appeal.

See for yourself...

Nick Buonuconti

Sadly, we heard about another member of the 72 dolphins team passing away. Nick Buoniconti goes to Valhalla to meet the football gods.

I have a Nick story of my own. It was a random encounter in the 90s. I was flying home with my-then fiancée from NY to Ft Lauderdale. My wife was a frequent flier and had tons of free upgrades, so she bumped us both to first class.

We're waiting for the boarding process to start when there's a stir by the desk. Nick was on that same flight. I hear everyone chatting with him. Then I hear someone say "no problem Mr Buonicoti, we're happy to move you to first class!"

And maybe a minute later I hear "mr kennedy please come to the podium." I know what this means. He's getting *my* seat.

And of course they tell me that they can't accommodate my request and will be refunding the upgrade to my wife's account.

Cue the Seinfeld moment where jerry is in first class, hanging out with a model and eating sundaes, while Elaine is in coach squeezed between two "bad passengers" with nothing to eat.

That was pretty much it.

I had wanted to interview him at one point for my dolphins podcast, but I wasn't able to work it out. I surely would have asked him about this...

....I guess now I can let the grudge go. (Haha)

It’s a hoax!

In honor of the 1969 moon landing, and the persistent (yet ludicrous) claims that it's a hoax, I decided to create my own conspiracy theory:

The 1972 Miami Dolphins perfect season is a hoax. It never happened. It's fake news!

I mean a guy with glasses comes on and miraculously leads his team?! A bunch of no name guys playing top-notch defense?! It's impossible!

The "season" was played out on a soundstage in California. Ed Sabol, Director of nfl films was brought in to make it look real! Those miraculous plays we see were to make it more compelling. And the blunder by Garo Yepremian in the super bowl was a joke inserted to make us really believe it.

Just look at the hilights. Why is there no actual game film?! Because it was faked!

—- now, see how stupid this sounds?

Moon Landings Faked? Filmmaker Says Not!
