Quote:One thing to keep in mind is that most Dolphins fans hate when their team is called the Fish. That's why countless Jets, Patriots, Bills, and other fans call them the Fish. It's part of having rivalries. The end result is the NFL thrives on this.

 

When fans of teams like the Buccaneers that do not hate Miami call them Fish, they seem to just doing it because they don't know whales and dolphins are mammals. No way is that a rivalry word when fans of Florida's NFC team say it. Mom told me they say it to be funny. Of course, I will never believe that because I see no humor in it.

 

Quote:I'm not sure George Halas, Vince Lombardi, Paul Brown, and Bill Walsh in their primes could keep the Dolphins focused with the chaos that's currently going on with that team.   

 

As much as you want the Bucs to get the # 1 pick,  the Dolphins internal implosion couldn't have happened at a worse time for the Bucs to remain winless. If the Bucs end up losing this game,   you have plenty of reasons for "optimism" that the Bucs are heading towards 0-16 or 1-15.

 

All coaches who have connections to Bill Walsh said they will not tolerate the kind of behavior being reported from Miami's locker room. They would kick everyone off that team after figuring out which teammates Jonathan Martin was complaining about.
