PrintAlright, as we know, Dolphins have the best fan base out there. Even after a 1-15 season last year, we all stayed true fans. And that's what makes this a great team. Now the real question here is, where is our Fin Nation? Simple as this: give the you're state from and city (if you want) and let's see our Fin Nation through a national aspect.
I'll start... El Prez resides all the way from Massachusetts
Go Phins!!

Hey, just food for thought, if this post starts getting close to getting pushed out of the “recommended fanpost” in the next week or so, and you don’t feel you have all the results you wanted, cut and paste and repost it maybe. Maybe Matty can help you with that as well.
One question also, are you going to do some kind of follow up post with results after you’re all done? It would take some work, but I’m sure a lot of us would be curious to see how this thing turns out. To keep it simple maybe just go with total numbers by state and countries outside the USA. Good Job El! This is pretty cool.

If I had a nickle for everytime I’ve heard that…….I could buy a real Island. When it was named, it was because how the Platte River and its tributaries went around a chunk of land here, the French trappers named it “Le Grande Island” or Grand Island. For more on this facinating subject go to…….

I hope this question doesn't sound as ignorant as I'm afraid it does...
but have you seen ‘Generation Kill’? The guys who did it also produced ‘The Wire’, which is basically one of my favorite things ever, and I thought GK was incredible. From what I’ve read online, a bunch of people claiming to be marines swear by how true to life it is, so as a budding screenwriter myself, I’m just curious what you think or have heard…
Again, if this comes off as trite, I sincerely apologize.
