Met Life Takeover comes with happy ending; Jets are a dirty whore and I just had a Phingasim all over their face !

A little hostile ? Maybe. But, they get what they deserve after one of their dickhead fans launched that burger at Mr Ross. I am soooo thankful I didn't witness that bullshit because I would have taken the bait and sunk right to their level. They throw food, I throw haymakers when provoked. But enough about that, on with the show !

I was up early, as usual, and the weather seemed perfect to me. Gray glooming skies and kind of breezy.

My man Vili was ready too with his brand new jersey. And I'm might add that Vili and I were riding a one game winning streak going into this game. He made the trip to Cincy & NY from Richmond, VA. which is something like 9 hours & 6 hours respectively.

6 of us packed into the truck for the 1.5 mile drive. Dwight, my other buddy, said I better make sure he is in the post. Now the 1st thing Dwight said to me via text once I arrived in his home state of NJ was " Welcome to NJ, now go home". I giggled more than once about that.

So, I say to Dwight right before loading in and driving to the stadium,..." you got the parking pass ?". He replied "yes". However that was not the case as 2 minutes into our 4 minute ride to the stadium he informed me that he in fact does not have the pass. So Dwight gets the I am a bone head award this morning,....and it looks like this !

No worries,....there has been a good vibe in NY all week from my perspective.

I was the part of the 1st wave of DolFans as we arrived around 8:30AM. First order of business, get that flag up and make our presences felt.

Met Life Takeover has begun. Time to set the table.

Notice how empty that space is behind us, it won't be like that for long. Now, Vili can cook and he delivered two trays of homemade sausage that sits behind M.M.

And with Vili came his lovely girlfriend Liuda. Again the mood was festive and everybody was happy.

Slowly more and more cars filtered into our area, all Dolphin fans. Lot L 2 was the place as it was apparent that the message got out to the masses. The sometime around 10ish the buses arrived !

3 guys closest to me,....3 cases of beer ! Funny.

Michelle, the co-founder of DolFansNYC sprung into action.

And so did I as I was all about panhandling for the DCC after I swagged them.

FYI,...Vili donated that shirt for the cause. And that bag between my legs was filled with $272 before we left to go into the game. Way to go DolFansNYC ! I would be giving the pitch to somebody when on several occasions someone would tap me on the shoulder from behind saying I heard you and then would stuff money in the bag. It was awesome.

How about the Phinsider family reunion. While it didn't last as long as I would have liked, it was nice to meet yet another one of our regulars. You know Dave AKA Strange, but Josh AKA Tunaflipper was also in from Maryland. In it's a small world moment I found out the Josh knows my Dad from the music business. Small world,...

Photobucket

I love the shirt !

Photobucket

There was also a few people from The Deep End there too. Steve was freezing and this was the second time in two games ( Cincy & NY ) that someone was in need and I came to the rescue. Sharing is caring.

Tanya & I were on different paths on that day. I was about the fundraising and she was her usual social butterfly. Then I noticed a group of cheerleaders and I over heard this gal saying how she loved Tanya's outfit and wanted a pic with her. "Ahhhh,......OK" I heard he say.

Photobucket

It's fact that the Dolphins have the hottest cheerleaders,......and fans ! As for me,....if you look good, you feel good. And I was feeling F'n great !!!

Photobucket

Kinda weird when one of them started talking make-up with me. That was a short conversation,....girls,....geez,...

During the time the cheerleader were are is when The Dolphin brass stopped by complete with Mr Ross & Fergie in tow. I had no idea that the latter where even there as I chatted briefly with Mike & Nat. It started to get slightly mobbish when I made my over towards them. That is why I had no idea about the event with the burger & Mr Ross. Anyways, there was no getting a pic with Ross as he was being whisked back to the car, but I got this shot of him 20 seconds prior to his departure.

Photobucket

Here we see Michelle, Mr Ross, Fergie, and a regular Phinsider reader who knew how I was straight away. I forget his name and he says he doesn't comment much but reads daily. Nice guy with the sweetest Fins jacket he got online for $20 ! Welcome to an OFF4L post !!!

Fergie on the other hand part of the mod as well and was about into the car when I pointed and called out. "Hold on, hold on, hold on,.....I got to get a pic with him" as she pointed directly back at me. I quickly passed my camera off and just then this chick comes in and ruins my one chance for the shot. Serves her ass right she came out looking like this.

Photobucket

Anyways,... it was still pretty cool that she made an attempt so I could get a pic with her.

It was about that time to start ending over to the stadium when I noticed some Jet fan yell and carrying on in kind of a hostile fashion. I'ld say there was about 7 or 8 of them but this guy was focusing on somebody. We were passing by and I decided to stand just outside there circle just to see if he might want to turn that energy my direction. He didn't, but one of guys starts in. He was a slight fellow and I wonder just how lippy he is when not around his more filled out friends. Ahhhhhh to be in my 20's again,.......thinking a fast bitch slap as he flapping his yap would get the party started. But I just stood there silently,.....for the most part.

Speaking of parties,.....this is about to get started,.....for real !!! Here we are just in the gates representing hardcore !!!

Photobucket

I better take a moment here to point out that Dwight & Renta are sporting custom made Dolphins flight crew suits complete with masks and official Dolphins receiver gloves. They did suits themselves and they looked good !

From the ground floor to the upper deck,...and there wasn't a bad seat in the house.

I think we all know how the game went, so I'll give you some personally observations from my surroundings. I must be some sort of VIP with DolFansNYC as our seats ended being there by the organizers ( and their banners ) along with Solo D. We were informed shortly after arriving that no signs or banners are suppose to be allowed, yet we made all the way to our seated without be ing stop or questioned about a sign that I carried in plain sight on the way up there. Weird,.....

TD,......Fasano !!!

Photobucket

So,.....this Dolfans show up drunk of his ass. Mid to upper 20's complete with wasted girlfriend. They stumbled down our row, and crossed over to the row below us,....barely. She tripped and kinda half fell & half caught herself in some sort of funny drunk fashion. then he steps up and does almost the exact same thing. She passed out and he did too at different times. However,....and I missed it, she blew chunks right there. Tanya was not happy,....

Photobucket

I on the other hand was tickled pink that I was able to cover a DolFans puke with a Jets promo towel that every seat had. Tweeted this beauty to Daniel Tosh as I thought he might appreciate it. After all,....at the end of the this is considered art in some circles,........namely mine.

Photobucket

I hear it works great on Phingasism juices too,....

For the true Jets fan, we have more in common than differences. I was honored to be there to witness the Dennis Bryd number retirement ceremony. I am a strong believer in the power of the human sprite and this was truly a special moment for any sports fan to witness regardless of allegiance.

It was a moving moment, but in the end the current Jets team could not harness that energy and beat down continued. As Dave mention he thought up the catch phase " And that another NY jets,.....4TH DOWN !!!", I just decide to borrow it when the time was right. And,.....we said a few times there in the second half. I started the "Teeeeeee,....Booooowwwww" chant just like the on in Cleveland & Buffalo when they go " Asssssssss,.......Hoooooooole !!". Not to mention the rocking LETS GO DOLPHINS chant. We made noise and my voice is still not back to normal yet.

With 10 minutes to go in the game this is what the stadium looked like,......a ghost town.

Photobucket

That's right you whore, take that walk of shame. And wipe you face off,.....hahahahahahaha. Another thing,....don't throw hamburgers !

Safe to say I get my sign out now,....

Photobucket

Talking about riding high,.....

Photobucket

There is more to the story,.....like escaping the area just in time before the storm hit. And struggling to make to Vili's place in Richmond, Va. where we rested and relived what an awesome day we all just had. Vili has and awesome Dolphins & Rapid mancave. Rapid is soccer team from his home back in Romania and he is just is crazy about them is he is for the Dolphins. Another post for another time,.....like later tonight !!?? Maybe,....

In conclusion I while again make the plea for any help you can give me as I am now safely in Ft Lauderdale Beach and about to putting away this computer and go out for a 30-40 mile training ride. And I couldn't be happier,....it looks to be 75 or 80 and sunny skies. You now the cause,.....cancer research. It has affected us all,.....
