Shots for Breakfast, Sausage for Brunch ; an Ohio Fin Fan's day at The Rock

I love a good party and I hate The Browns,...sounds like the makings of a great day in Miami. We started this weekends adventures in Boynton Beach at David's (Fin Tiki) place. Tanya & I have tailgated with the same crew for over 15 years and it just never gets old, and now we often come over the night before for dinner, pontoon boat rides, and drinking around the fire pit. But that is another story,...

Once parked all the usual suspects gathered along with a few old friends from out of town. I'm not sure who lit the fuse but it was "game on" right out of the gate !

Myself,...besides loving the Dolphins I also love cycling and a thing called "sock doping". And these Naples Velo socks are dope !

Gary ( or The Mayor as he is known in our circles) is one of the nicest person I've every met. Quick with a smile and a kind word,...that is usually followed with a shot. Every game he cruises the tailgate with a couple bottles ( different every game) passing out shots. as the saying goes,....when in Rome,...

The one about David & John ( Finhead), they know how to grill it up !

I always love it when Milan shows up each year, another great guy that loves the Dolphins except he comes to us from Slovakia. The bottle of booze he brings from back home is something close to pure grain alcohol,...it burns and packs a punch (BIG TIME) !

Buzzing and feeling no pain I gafted on the Browns fan creeping into the picture,....so I put a poop icon over his face on my Instagram story,...lol.

I've seen plenty of crazy things in my time tailgating in E12, and this was the 2nd time I watched a couple get married there,...

That was cool, but getting a picture with future HOF'er Richmond Webb as a bit cooler for me personally !

There is one super cool mural in one of the tunnels walking to the stadium, and my attempt at an artsy fartsy photo with Tanya & The Rock.

Did I mention that Milan is a tattoo artist and Wade ( who comes to us from Denver most home games ) got a new Dolphins tat !

It's true,....Fin Tiki turns people into straight up party animal's. I'm not sure he knew these guys but as soon as he rolled up they started shotgunning their beer. Classic,...

Tanya & I moved from The Deep End to the 4th row in the upper deck right behind the goalpost. The view is 1000x better, but at times I crave The deep End's energy. So with Tanya's blessing I made my way down there mid 3rd quarter.

This was just tip of the iceberg of the picture I took and things could babble on about, but I will leave with one last thing. I bought a couple new flags,....a Dolphins stars & stripes inspired flag & beers mugs because why not ???
