I'm not talking about the evolution of man.  I'm talking about the evolution of the Miami Dolphins.  Although if you want to truly evolve as a person, you better have some Miami Dolphins love in you.

Let me start this out by giving a huge shout out to Ohio.  This guy is the man.  I've said it before, and ill say it again:  when i die, i want to be reincarnated as OFF4L.   Allright,  this is a "picture" story,  so i'll stop yakking.  

 

 

I first met up with Ohio around 10am.  The energy level was instantly raised.  Dolphins pride was abundant!!!

 

Who said getting older means you have to grow up??  These two guys definitely did NOT get the message.   Early on in the tailgate we noticed this vehicle with Patriots stickers in the windows.   It was one of those moments where u just knew something had to be done.  Never fear!!  We sprung into action!!!

 

 

 

We're a couple of good guys,  so we did what any two good guys would do:  We got the wives involved.  

Extra Kudos to my wife Cassy (MrsMedic).  She was such a trooper.   She fought the hangover and the exhaution and made it through the day!!

 

I just had to get a picture with this dude.  I know some of us push the envelope of Miami Dolphins Fandom.  Well my friends, whenever you feel like you've crossed the line, please open this post, have a look at this fellow and feel a little better about yourself.   (For the record, it was hot as hell that day)

 

I know it wasnt shown on tv, but the veterans day events were in full swing.  They had representatives from every branch there.   There were video's being shown on the jumbo tron of players thanking service men and women for what they do.  If i remember correctly Ayodele and Fasano were the two up there.   USA USA USA!!

 

Ok i have a couple videos i want to share, but im having a problem embedding them into the post.  Check out Ronnie's rushing TD.   Notice the guy behind me....i thought he was Rick Ross.  Then when i panned back, i thought he was bone crusher.  Then i realized he was just a big sweaty dude at the game.  

 

My wife snapped this picture of me in the 4th Qtr.  The game literally became a nailbiter,  i think i ate most of the tips of my fingers.   For the record,  i was  still wearing the headband Ohio!  

 

Ok,  so finally we come to the game winning field goal.  I didnt know whether to be mad at Henne or not.  He threw that HORRIBLE pick.  But then turned around and got a few good completions on the final drive.  But truth be told, the one player who deserves all the thanks for putting us into position to kick the field goal is Ricky Williams.  Without further ado,  check out the video.

I hope you all enjoyed the pics  and vids,  medics out! 

OHH HELL YEAH!!!  As if that message isnt already infered by the picture.  I am getting on a plane on thursday night, landing in North Carolina late friday,  then driving directly to Miami!!  I couldnt be anymore stoked right now.  I couldnt be anymore excited.  Who's with me huh????

Medic who?  I'm your bartender today.  Drink up people because that is the only remedy i got for you.   I did it all day Sunday,  trust me it works.   I was actually trying to pace myself going into the half because i wanted to remember the game this time.  But as the game wore on,  the pitchers of bud light came.  Then the shots of jagger,  then the tequila.   By the fourth quarter I was overwhelmed by a plethora of feelings and liquors.   What it really boils down to is we lost, barely, to one of the best teams in football.  Feelings and liquor aside,  we should not be overly upset about this one.

Thank god this bye week is almost over.  I thought i was going to have to kill myself.   After mulling that over,  i decided i was looking forward to the Phins Saints game too much to die beforehand.   Anyway,  im gonna make it a short one this week.  Without further ado(spell check please) lets get into my head.

Whats up Whats happening Phinsiders.  Doggone bye week is killing me.  Im just trying to find ways to pass the time without drinking myself into a coma,  which is actually quite the challenge for me.  Then it hits me.  I recently learned to put pictures in posts comments,  which my simple-minded self found to be pretty cool.  (thanx nicky and zero13)  So after inserting several pictures into a comment on a post,  Alpha pointed out that he found it cool to be able to put a face with the blogger.  I also find this concept to be cool.

This past Monday was a beautiful day.  It was a monumentus day.  It marked the first day of the rest of our lives.  Well, maybe not so dramatic for you all as Phins fans,  but for me the drama is real.  My son was finally born after almost 91/2 months of shamming out in the womb.  He came out kicking and screaming,  and i think he called an audible on the way out too.  The measurements,  8lbs 8ounces and 20" long.  The report from the Wife Combine says he is long and has "strong arms".  Future HOF'er,  i feel it.  Seeing as how he now shares a birthday with someone who's mind we've all been inside of,  i expect presents from uncle Rzayo24 every year.  Happy birthday Dante,  welcome to the world.

Well people,  i got bored and now im writing a Chill Pill.  Yeah.  Deal with it.  I can't help but notice lately that the number 13 is popping up alot.   As MainePhinFan pointed out in his post,  we have had 13 QB's try to take the starting spot in Miami since Marino left.   Once Henne took the reigns,  with 13 games to go,  we won our first game of the season bringing our record to 1-3.  Hmmmm.  Henne's first pass attempt in sundays game,  which was not caught by Ted Ginn jr would have been a 13 yard completion had Ginn Turned around exactly 13 yards from the line of scrimmage, rather than 14.   Think im crazy?  Go watch it,  dont worry,  i'll wait.

Oh how i wish it were just sniffles and sneezes this week.  How i wish a little guafinesen here and a little pseudophedrin there would patch us up.  But no,  this week we are suffering full on trauma.  Significant blood loss,  blood pressure is down,  pulse is up,  weak and thready.  We as a team and a community are going into compensated shock.  No,  we arent dying.  No were not circling the drain,  but as far as competing in our division,  we're getting close. 

Im writing my post this week BEFORE reading Matty's or anyone else's.  Somebody(not saying any names) has accused me of re-wording other post's to create my own.  So here are my completely objective views and opinions. 

First off,  Im not gonna make this all about Henne/Penne but i am gonna get it outta the way quickly.  Yes we have QB issues.  Penne's shoulder was already suspect.  Rotator cuff injuries are no joke, hard to come back from, and an injury that will take away alot of throwing power.  When Penne was injured and taken out of the game,  my reaction was kinda like these guys.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilk08Yt4huo   It was like terror and joy all at the same time.  It felt like a ton of bricks was lifted off my back.   Finally the Henne anticipation was over.   I thought henne played like he should:  A 2nd year guy who hasnt started even 1 game in the NFL.  But i saw good things from him.  The best and most noticeable thing was his arm strength,  theres no doubt he can throw the ball 50 yards effortlessly.  The other thing i liked about him was his ability to keep plays alive.  It seemed like the O-line wasnt protecting him too well when he came in,  but he kept plays going with his legs and evasiveness(even if he was 3 yards past the line of scrimmage on that pass).   What i didnt like was the play calling he got.  He handed the ball of i dont know how many times.  Most of his passing plays were throws to recievers less than 10 yards away.  One set of downs really irked me,  when we were on the San Diego 5 yard line.  1st down: wildcat.  2nd down: wildcat.  3rd down:  Henne pass......HEY HENNE,  NO PRESSURE KID.  It just seems like Dan Henning was not setting him up for success.  The prophecy has been foretold.  They said Penne wouldnt make it a full year without injury...well here we are.  The time is upon us.  The stars have aligned and its time to start Henne.  Regardless if Pennington comes back healthy in 3-4 weeks.  Theres no turning back.
