how could they not know master tom brandstater earned the start this week

Luck should win….I’m a new blogger born in Miami in 1951 left in 1972. went to almost every game from the 1966 opener through 1971….had to watch the perfect season on TV in Greenville SC. Graduated from North Miami high school busted my ankle playing on the JV team in 10th grade during a kick off drill. Tried out for the kansas city royals and oakland A’s in 1968 at age 17…couldn’t hit a major league fastball…lol….Pete Broberg through a fastball by me at 95 iles an hour and i swung so late i hit the catchers mitt and was awarded first base….my sports career ended that day. The only sports team I’ve ever lived and died for is the Dolphins 46 years of ups and downs but there’s never been a Dolphin I haven’t rooted for to succeed. Howard Twilley was my hero…one of only two of our expansion team to make it through to our undefeated season in 1972….the other was OL Norm Evans. I also liked Earl Morral he should have won the MVP for his MVP year in 1972. But the best deal the Fins ever made was stealing Don Shula away from the Colts. The Colts were my favorite team before the Dolphins came along….My favorite player for the current Dolphins is Jason Taylor but theres another one who should get some credit….His name is Matt Moore. People ridiculed him when he was signed by the Fins.. Now he’s won 4 of his last five games and lost one by a point in Dallas….I think Matt Moore is our QB of the future. Henne was run out of town by the current so called fair weather fans of the Dolphins. I went to almost every game from 1966-69 when George Wilson was coach….we were bad but I was always thrilled when I saw the Dolphins play. We won 15 games in those first 4 seasons….Shula erased those memories and took us to 10-4 in his first year in 1970 then three straight Super Bowls in 71-73….I’m proud to be a Dolphins fan….my dad was too he passed away in 1992….my former bro. in law Bill and I are still diehard Fin fans….I root for the underdogs usually….Matt Moore is an underdog….I hope he takes us to a Super Bowl win next year….I wom the game ball Ray Lucas was awarded quite a few years ago….my dads name was ray…the only game ball he ever was awarded by Miami….I live in Winder GA now having just moved from Athens GA the past weekend…..I have rooted for the canes also sinc ethe 1950’s….I’m proud of their success too…but they were only my second favorite team….I hurt when the Dolphins lose but am thrilled when they win….They’re my team and always will be….for what its worth….you all have a Merry Christmas and God bless you all….the aquamarine and coral will rise again…someday soon I pray…Tim Tebow i respect immensely…I’m a Christian first a husband and father second and an american who loves what his ocuntry used to be….right now america sucks eggs ….football isn’t life or death…..the obscentity on these websites makes me sick. my son wants to be an e’r’ nurse when he graduates from homeschooling high school next spring….he and my dad are my real heroes…like I said….for what its worth…
