My day started like most other gamedays, with lots of energy. I decided to go for a ride, it ended up being 23 miles in 90 minutes.
Shortly after I got back it was time to get my "game face" on,...
Once at the stadium, I met up with the Phin Addicts. It didn't take long for me to realize I could relate to their passion.
They made me feel right at home, like a long lost brothern. Here is my 1st attempt at cornhole. I told them about me being a "natural" athlete, but "Fro" still wanted a piece. The thing about team sports is you have to rely on your teammate,...as the story goes my partner, not so good. I managed to get 6 points with one shot,.....on-lookers were shocked. Me, not so much,.....lol. But we still lost. Standing next to me is The Phinsiders very own Zero13 & his girlfriend. My Wifey & I had a really good time hanging with them Wendsday night and before the game.
Shortly after the cornhole game ended, I was just chatting it up with Zero13 when "Crash" walked by. I said to Zero, " there is Jim Jensen right there". You know I had a picture I need signed,...
Time to ham it up with "Crash",...
What now !!! A Dolphin marching band,....
Time for another photo op,...or two.
Now it was time to roll up to the Grand Plaza to see what I could see over at the Orange Carpet. I wondered if my pal " The Stalker" was around as we kept playing phone tag the days running up to Thursday. Look no further, I give you "The Stalker", Zonk, & Griese,....
Another member of "The Deep End", Finhead...
With all this face paint around, Wifey decided to get in on the act. What a gal !
After that I saw Keith Sims, and he looked great !!!! Last season,....
Now,...75LBS lighter ! Great job big man !! And, he remembered both of us from last season as we chatted from a quick moment during a commercial break while doing a pre-game broadcast.
From there we ventured into the team store,.....just looking this time.
Now it was time to head into the stadium, to our seats in "The Deep End". Here I have to give a special thanks to the Phin Addicts for hooking us up. This section has incredible views, and incredible energy !!!! Here are some shots from pre-game warm-ups,...
As it turned out, I had better seats than "The Stalker". Thats him, that little blip standing up in a white 23,...lol.
Honorary captains were 5 Dolphin HOF'ers Shula, Zonk, Griese, Little, & Stephenson !!!!!! Amazing !!!!!!!!
Before the game, we were all optimistic,.....including TD.
Being in The Deep End has it perks,....
At halftime The Dolphins Alumni came out fro the Ring of Honor ceremony,.....lots of them !
Last, but not least,...."Crash" and he acknowledged The Deep End. Cool !
The only game picture I will post as it made me want to cry. Here Cutler gets nailed,.....and converts for a 1st down,...ugh !
If you don't include the ending to the game, I had a great time for my 1st home game of the season. Besides getting pics signed by Kiick (Wens night @ Bokampers w/ Zero13), Jensen, and Sims,...OJ McDuffie sat a fews seats from The Deep End. And Yes, I had a pic of us I got signed, bringing my 2 day total of 4 pics signed !! The crew in The Deep End was awesome, and they loved my look. It seems that we might get invited back, cool by me.
With 6 games left we can still win out and go 11-5,......and pigs can fly.
