The Word from the Ho-Nerd

Just got back from the great state of Florida! I already miss it. I was lucky enough to get to go to the game, and all i can say is wow. Five lead changes in the fourth quarter? Thats crazy. And when Ronnie busted through the goal line to win the game, i swear the stadium was shaking. But by far, the best part of the game was walking back to the parking lot with 1,000's of screaming dolphin fans singing our fight song, and starting a J-E-T-S SUCK SUCK SUCK chant. Freaking awesome.

Okay, so about the game. Henne was flawless, and brought tears to my eyes when he threw that bomb to Ginn. R and R did what we've come to expect from them, and the defense made some nice 3rd down stops (but the special teams blew it on 4th down). The play calling was much better, too. Now for some negatives; special teams sucked. Those fake punts were rediculous. And our secondary had some costly pace interference calls (one of them was a bull call though).

One player I was watching closely was Channing Crowder. He talked a lot coming into this game, but i think he backed it up. He had a bunch of tackles, including a huge 3rd down stop for a loss. He basicly said "shut up fat rex".

So thats my word from the ho-nerd, more next week (maybe).

See the resemblence? We're gonna put this guy on the ground allllllll day!

Chad Pennington: Good Bye

Gentleman, today is a very sad day for me. The Miami Dolphins have placed Chad Pennington on IR, pretty much ending his days as a dolphin, and probably as a football player. I know a lot of you didn't exactly like Chad as our number one QB, but I would like to disagree with you all. Chad did what was thought to be impossible, unimaginable, extraordinary. He was kicked to the curb by the Jets, and snatched up by Mr. Parcells and Co. I was a big doubter of this move. " How is a week armed, injury prone, aging quarterback gonna help the 1-15 dolphins rebuild? I got my answer quickly: he wasn't, he was going to do so much more. After an expected slow start, Chad led us to win, after win, after win. We went into week 17 one win away from the devision championship. Some place no one expected us to be. And best of all, the team we needed to beat was Chad's old NY Jets. That night, I sat in the Medowlands parking lot in the front seat of my car. I listened to every snap on the radio. And at the final whistle, when all dust was cleared, we were devision champions. And at there stood Chad, wearing his dolphin jersey and grey hat. The hero, the leader of the AFC champs. This post is not for a "henne vs. penne" argument. I don't want to hear any hate. Just take time to remember our fallen hero.

We'll miss you Chad. Hope to see you coaching us one day. Good bye.

A Day in The Life of Sam

Hello Phinsiders,

I just got off from work. Being a taxi driver in NY is one of the hardest things you can possibly do. Although, it has it's perks. Like, today I saw a guy with a Jet's hat standing on the curb. I stepped on the gas, and plowed through a puddle, drenching the guy down to his tighty-whitys. I was laughing for the rest of the day. I also drove a Dolphin fan today. Nice guy. Gave him a discount. OK, I'm sure none of you care about that so I'll move on to something a little more interesting. I booked my trip for Miami just now. Flying down to see the Jet game. Staying at Don Shula's hotel! (no, i can't affoard it, my dad's paying for it cuz he's happy I got a job :-) ) If anyone's tailgating at the game, let me know. I'm still trying to think of something useful to say, but nothing's coming to mind. I never been so freaking bored in my life. I'm actualy so bored that I'm watching the Met game.

Ok, I'm done. Sorry for wasting your time. Go read something inteligent now.
