Another reason to love Tony Sparano

Click on the link above to head over to the Miami Herald site to see a video. It's a video taken in front of the Dolphins' facility in Davie on Monday morning - showing Dolphin fans holding signs thanking the Dolphins. And Tony Sparano even comes out and shakes hands with these fans.

Tony's a class guy all the way!

I teared up

I want the Dolphins to win, and I don’t care who is playing to help them win. When a guy throws 4 ints in 2 qtrs he is hurting my team and maybe needs to sit a series. Not 1 guy is above the team. NOT ONE.

That had the feel of a PR stunt if ever I've seen one. Not saying it definitely was, but...

There was just something strange about the atmosphere and the video editing.
Still, love Sparano and love the fins.

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

It was filmed by a guy that works for a radio show.

So they may have let the Dolphins know they were out there, but Sparano didn’t have to come out and shake any hands, or greet any fans. I wanna know what he was doing at the facility. Doesn’t this guy EVER take a day off? lol I love Sparano.

I agree

He didn’t seem too happy; very somber. The comment on the page tickled me. “8 fans a 12th man does not make.” It would have been more believable if there were a crowd.

The PR doesn’t suit Tony, anyway, but his work ethic certainly does!

Take care of the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves.

I could have put a fanshot up, but this post seems more fitting. Coach Sparano gets Coach of The Year

He won the vote from the NFL Alumni, which to me, seems a little better than a bunch of AP writers. He’ll be honored later, you’ll find the article HERE.

Hope I'm not intruding

But I just read on Yahoo that Peterson is not coming to Miami. I was excited and wanted to share.

yup if there has ever been

a great day/moment for the franchise since shula retired then the hiring of Sparano may be it. I strongly believe that he may be the 2nd best coach the franchise will ever have… only time will tell…

btw: i still don’t understand how the guy didn’t win coach of the year…
