Dolphins “flexed” out of prime time
Posted by Tom on December 22, 2008
- Chad Pennington vs. the team that scapegoated him and dumped him for a 39-year-old who was being pushed out the door by his former team
- The Dolphins (last year: 1–15) taking on the Jets (last year: 4–12) for the #3 seed in the AFC playoffs
- The Dolphins, a warm weather team that traditionally fails as the weather gets colder, going into New Jersey where the temperature would be around freezing at kickoff (at least at 8:15PM)
- The Dolphins (winners of 8 of their last 9, including 4 in a row) facing a reeling Jets team whom they have lost to 17 times in their last 21 meetings (including earlier this season in Miami)
- A.J. Duhe and the 1982 AFC Championship game (the game that taught me to hate Jet fans)
- Marty Lyons ending Dwight Stephenson’s career with an illegal chop block
- Raul Allegre costing the Dolphins the AFC East (and the playoffs) in the final game of the 1991 season
- Marino’s fake spike in 1994 (easily my favorite Dolphins memory, and I still will say that I saw it coming)
- The Monday Night Miracle (easily my least favorite Dolphins memory, which I experienced live, and will now go throw up)
