'The Matty Awards' - Hall of Fame Voting
So we've finally made it through the voting for all of the 'Matty's.' Now it's time to talk about (and vote on) the greatest honor within our community.
Yes - I'm talking about The Joe Robbie Memorial Phinsider Hall of Fame. To me, it's the highest honor any member of our community can receive. And that's because the vote is done (securely, I might add) by all of you. After all, there's no greater honor than being recognized by your own peers.
Making this even more special is that this will be the inaugural class. And the four members who get voted in will forever be known as "Mount Phinsider" - like Mount Rushmore, only better. And after this year's inductions, only three members per year will be inducted - not four.
All the nominees and the poll itself is located after the jump. Click on "continue reading" to view them and cast your four votes. And please note, you must vote for no more than four. If you vote for more, your votes will simply be erased by the system and the poll will not allow you to re-vote.
There are 16 nominees. Congratulations to those who have been nominated. The Phinsider community consists of over 1,100 members - with over 80% of those members having been active in the past 9 months. So it truly is an honor just to be nominated. Good luck to everyone who has been nominated. And remember, there is no campaigning within 100 feet of the polls.
Voting for this award will end at 11:30 pm eastern on Thursday, February 26.

voted.......
and thanks community for making me one of the nominees. I love this place! That to me is a award in itself……
And……there should really only be 3 votes that you have to think about. Matty will get “aw shucks” and humble about this…….but one of your votes should be for him with out a doubt. He IS the Phinsider, and he has given us all a forum on which to discuss our beloved team. Sorry Matty…I’m gonna stand tall on my soapbox regarding this one.

I just want to offer my congratulations
to all the nominees, but don’t think that it’s just the so-called “Sweet Sixteen” (stolen from Aleta.. thanks bud lol) that make this place great. 1100 members is a ridiculous number, and I would say that everybody who comments here has well thought out and informed opinions.
We cover the entire globe (and we’ll find out exactly which parts of the globe if el peezy ever finishes his Fin Nation posts.. I’M CALLING YOU OUT PEEZY lol), we range in age from elementary schoolers, to senior citizens, and cover every possible demographic you could come up with. To even be nominated for this is an honor in itself, because this is Dolphins Nation recognizing you as a true, diehard fan, and a key contributor to the best Dolphins site on the Web. Just look at all the traffic already this offseason, and nothing has really happened.. just another notch in the hat for the Best Fans in the NFL I suppose..
Damn that was sappy as hell… let the Dr. Phil jokes fly lol.

Thanks so much guys,
it has truly been a blast being part of this community. The way we eat, walk, drink and sleep Dolphin Football sure found a way to bring us together. But what I want to stress the most is how this has become a bit more than football, how when a man decides to step out of bounds and find his own path through giving more time to that part of his life that to many makes no sense and that for others is foolish, and to be as lucky as to be here to share that, it just doesnt get any more better than that. I wish this community continues to be a place people can forget about real life and be kids again, a place where at the end many things might not make sense but when you turn off your computer you will always have a strong feeling of deep satisfaction.
I just voted for Matty-
4 times so I met the requirements of course.

Ahhhh Ta Ta Ta Ta Bye Bye Foy518
Now just hold up a d@mn minute
Why are all you all voting for Matty? What lets him get the automatic vote?!
Is it because its HIS website? Or this website was thought up and put together by HIM? Ot becuase HE does a great job maintaining HIS website? Or is it beause when it comes to The Phinsider HE is the MAN?
Lame excuses, just lame.-)
BTW u got my vote too Matty. Well done.

Amazed that I am one of the finalists. Lots of great contributors on that list, making it hard to pick three to join the I in the Sky. Thanks again all.
