HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, enjoy the holiday and be safe!

Enjoy your friends and family and let's all hope for at least some marginally interesting football today.

Titans at Lions, 12:30, CBS
Seahawks at Cowboys, 4:15, FOX
Cardinals at Eagles, 8:15, NFLN

And I do want to just say that one of the things I'm definitely thankful for this Thanksgiving is all of you out there.  You take the time of out your busy day to stop by here and join in the discussion - and I really appreciate it.  Thanks to all of you, we've built quite the community here.  And this place just wouldn't be any fun without all of you getting involved regularly.

So on this Thanksgiving, my gift to all of you is below after the jump.  I promise you'll all like it!!  (Want a hint?  Think Leon Lett.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all

I’m up in Canada, so we had our Thanksgiving about a month ago but enjoy the holdiday(s), the weekend, the football and hopefully the time with your family and friends.

Take care and eat lots!

Go Phins!

The Leon Lett Bowl

Was one of my favorite game experiences. We went over to a family friends house that year and they are HUGE Cowboys fans. Then the snow came, first time ever snow in Texas Satdium. They ragged on my family for 95% of the game as we ate THanksgiving dinner and all that.

Theh Leon helped us out. They didn’t say much after that…

Happy Thanksgiving Matty

And what a great memory video. I was at my wifes family for Thanksgiving, they knew I was hardcore Dolphin, they, were gamblers. All of them, probably about 6 had big money on Dallas. There I was, not wanting to be there in the first place, with a Dolphin sweater on, just wanting a win and having to listen to all their false cheers for the Cowboys just to satisfy a bet. Man when Stoyo put that through, I got into some faces. Christmas kinda sucked…..but it was worth it… : )

WOW

This would have been the year or maybe two years before I started watching each game every Sunday. How on earth did I miss this as a little kid?!? This is one of the best football clips I’ve ever seen, and I had no idea how it would end. I feel like such a lousy Dolphan lol! But I also feel like I just watched a victory live, what a rush. That music is legendary – reminds me of kids movies from the eighties, where the bad guys were always European aristocrats with names like ‘Claude’.

Anyway, there’s been ton of shitty news going around the world this year in all kind of ways, but as far as I’m concerned if you have your family and friends around then you’re living the good life. Add football to that mix and you can really have no complaints. So I’m not American, but here’s to your wonderful holiday. Enjoy it, guys, I’ll raise a glass from over here in Ireland as you do over there on Paddy’s day. Happy Thanksgiving.

Football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important than that.

The more I think about it, the less I can believe this game and the way it ended.

Matty, did you make this up? Did someone invent this and insert it into history? Because if I could get Pixar or whoever to invent the most spectacular fins win ever, a game like that – in the snow on thanksgiving with a last second freak play to win – would be pretty much exactly how it would go. Watching this clip reminded me why I used to cry when we lost when I was like 5. God I love the dolphins.

lol

I still remember going from insanely anger, tempter-tantrum style, to amazingly excited in a matter of minutes.

Anyways, since you don’t have a holiday today, Happy Thursday!!

Happy Turkey day to you

as well as all the other troops there with you. Pass it along that we’re all thankful for everything you guys do over there, and we’re all thinking of you guys during the holiday.

On a day when I am far from home

That’s just what I needed. It takes me back to a time when my Grandfather was alive. We sat and watched that game together, I still hear his laugh after Leon blew the game for the ‘Boys. Memories, what found memories!! Mom was cooking up the grub, My Uncle, Gramps, and I devoured the shrimp cocktail, and the fireplace was roaring. Those memories bring a tear to my eye. It’s just what I needed, not because of the football game, because of the family that I love & miss. So, I humbly say, THANKS A MILLION……I NEEDED THAT!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

I’m an extremely loyal fan south of the border (Mexico City) and unfortunately I’m gonna be missing the games today. I wish you all a happy holiday and I really thank you all (especially Matty) for this great place to bleed aqua and orange together.

I am thankful

for Detroit going 0-16 this season and making America forget about the 1-15 Dolphins of last season lol

Gotta go, dinner isn’t gonna cook itself.
and don’t worry Husk, I didn’t forget about you, I’m get on here once I talk to Gma and either give you a homemade recipe, or look one up if she doesn’t have one.

i would never wish 0-16 or 1-15 on any other team

unless they are the pats, jets, or bills.
